THE REASON OF HIS FLIGHT [f It Ever Comes Out, It IS Said, It ‘Vill Cause a Bigger Surprise Than His Running AII'a-y—ls‘amily Pride \Vill Try to Snxother Facts. NYACK, N. Y., Dec. 16.—All search for Edward H. Cole. has been abandoned here, because it is generally known that heis not in this vicinity. \Vord has reached here from persons who have seen Cole in New "York since Sunday. Each of those who had communicated to that efiect knew Cole, if not personally, sufficiently well to make no mistake in his personality when he was encountered. One of those who saw the missing man was Robert Soppell, a native of this place who knew Cole well. Soppell saw him on One Hundred and Twenty—ninth street. Allen S. Gookin, also of this place, is posi- tive that he encountered Cole on East Forty- third street on Sunday last, while a Miss _ Bertie Cornwall, who knew Cole, sent word" to a friend here that she saw Cole twice on One Hundred and Sixty-fifth street, once on Sunday and again yesterday, near Sheridan avenue. , Added to all that, comes the further infor- mation from Ticket Agent Essex, Of this place. Essex said that Cole was in the Gil- sey House yesterday. His information came from one of the conductors on the Northern Railroad of New J erscy. The conductor knew CI -‘.-: face very well, and was positive that he saw the missing man at the Gilsey House. ‘ \‘a'liy Did He Leave? Now, that it is rather definitely deter- mined that Cole did not wander away to die on any of the mountains about here, the excitement caused by his sudden disap- pearance has not diminished—in fact, the excitement has been on the increase all the time, because some very interesting devel- opments are momentarily expected. The townspeople do not particularly care to say anything about the matter to stran- gers. but if they told what they believe is about to come out many would think that Cole wasnot the only one who will prove to have been involved, if he has been involved at all. The question that is agitated most here at the present moment is, What was the exact reason why Cole fled? Those who are sup- posed to know do not care to make public their views on the subject, though some of them go so far as to intimate that Rockland county will be more than surprised before all the details are out, if they ever do come out. There are those: here who express the opinion that while matters at the present moment appear to be shaping themselves in such a way as to look promising for a sensa— tion, when the critical time arrives family pride will come to the front and play an im- portant part In keeping the more interest- ing features from developing to an extent sufiicient to force matters to an issue before the public. ' Beginning with Judge Cole, the father of the young man who disappeared, there are many here who do not believe that the miss- ing one went away for any reason which in- volves his g .-l name or will reflect on his honesty in the slightest particular. There “’as a Shortage. That there was an apparent shortage or“ some other irregularity in the accounts to the amount of $4,000, say these same per- sons, does not reflect on Cole. They say further that there is a perfectly good and. clear explanation of _ that apparent , discrep- ancy, and that ifgny. one'isinvolvedthatfit is not Cole. M ‘ He has nothing to fear in that respect, They admit, however, that Cole was at least unwise, not to say foolish, to leave towu just at the moment that an ex- pert accountant arrived on the scene for the purpose of examining his books. Cole’s fa— ther says his son’s mind was in a- poor way from overwork, else he would not have gone away at the time that he didf . It is more than probable that he walked from hereto Fort Lee, and from that point took the ferry to New York. There is an excellent path all along the top of the Pal- isades. Cole was known to be a good walk- er and particularly fond of a long tramp. He was seen at Spar] ' l on Saturday afternoon, and was walking in the direction of the Pal- isades at the time. ‘ Those here who believe in the innocence of Cole, but do not think he was mentally deranged when he went away, are of the opinion that he left because of certain pres- sure brought to bear on him from more than one direction. Time and the investigations of the expert accountant can only determine that matter. ,_ . ’ 1 _, Expert Green, who is at present over— hauling the books of the concern, has not yet got matters into such a shape that he can make a statement. He found it neces- sary to" secure the services of an assistant. Even with that help he cannot tell when he can make a public statement. An Insane Asyluln Horror. JACKSONVILLE, I]ls., Dec. 16.—The 1,200 inmates of the Jacksonville insane asylum for thirty-four days, from _Jan. 20, 1891, to Feb. 23, were using water drawnfrom a res- ervoir in which lay the corpse bf William Wilson, an inmate, who was drowned in the tank and whose body was not discovered for over a month. Even when the decom- posed body was removed no effort was made to cleanse the tank. Carnegie Says There’ll Be No Strike. NEW YORK, Dec. 16.—Andrew Carnegie says there is no truth in the report that the 3,500 men employed in the Homestead mills at Pittsburg intend to go out on strike soon. Mr. Carnegie says the firm has a three years’ contract with the men, which does not expire until July 1 next, and he does not therefore see how the men can strike. THE DEATH RECORD.

NASHVILLE, Dec. lit—Sixteen ‘men are living in nine tents on Capitol hill, waiting orders to march on Briceville. They are from Memphis, and in command of General Keller Andersor . acting captain. These six- teen men have been sworn in service for one year, and it is the intention to swear in al— together 150. It is impr " .lt-lc to take. the ‘l'egular militia, as In em could not leave their business, .. . men will be. employed. They w... ;-.:-ly cquiped as soldiers, and fifty : ‘ -' ce-i at each of the branch prisons at. i .‘ ck, Briccvillo and Oliver Springs :. '\ .22 be in addi- tion a civil guard of ii.'-.j_.’ nun. at earl-I place. It is thought from these men being brought here that it. is the intention to re turn the convicts to the branch pris. r“: with- in a few days. The state board of 1).“. on in- spectors some time ago passed an order for the return of the convicts whenever the les- sees shall have provided safe quarters and a sufficient guard. There was some trouble about who was to pay for the guards, and as the state will have militia equal to the number of civil guards it is thought that a compromise has been ‘made, and that the state and lessees will each pay one half of the expenses. ‘ Dr. Morrow in an interview stated that the lessees were ready and had been for a Week. They were only waiti‘h‘g for the re- turn of Superintendent of Prisons Wade, Who is in Washington. Dr. Morrow said as soon as Mr. Wade returns. NEW YORK FOREST FIRES. Raging for Five Days with lunch Loss to Timber and Cattle. PEEKSKILL, N. Y., Dec. lit—\Videspread forest fires, which have been raging in this vicinity, continued last night unabated, ex- cept the blaze in DePew woods and Mount Florence, which subsided, and is so far . burned out as to preclude the probability of further danger or damage. There is con- siderable loss here on timber, and many cows roaming on the hillsides are reported to have met death in the fires. Last night the fiams raged on Kittatinny hill and Anthony’s Nose and back of the state camp, but it is hoped that the danger to the camp is now averted, as the light Wind fanned the flames northward and the blaze spread up the mountain sides. After five days’ burning the supply of natural fuel is well nigh exhausted. This woodland fire originated from sparks of the Hudson River railroad locomotives, and has been the fiercest experienced here in years. All night these hillsides were enveloped in a huge mantle of flames, illumining Peeks- kill bay and producing a weirdly picturesque sight. Senator Quay’s Position. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 16.—The Press has a special dispatch from Pittsburg. which says: “Senator Quay, while here, stated in an in- terview that he would not be a candidate for re-election to the United States senate. When the report got out on the street and he realized the importance attached to it he sent for a reporter and qualified the state— ment, saying he might reconsider the matter before the time for the election. It is posi- tively known that he is a candidate and was here setting up legislative pins to make his succeeding himself a certainty.” A Furious Blizzard Raging. PUEBLO, 0010., Dec. 1(S.—The severest storm ever known here raged six hours yes— terday. Wires of all kinds were prostrated and traffic suspended. A regular blizzard is blowing. Two houses have been blown down, but no one was hurt. Reports from other Colorado points and Raton, N. 31., say that business is almost entirely suspended on account of the blizzard. Runners from the ranges in Montana report cattle stand- ing half covered with snow and thousands dying from cold and starvation. ' Very Peculiar. .LITTLE ROCK, Dec...16.—_Newton county :iis atpi‘esent the scene of much excitement. W. K. Nixon, while wandering in the woods, discovered four masked men carry- ing a corpse. Nixon was halted and taken into custody, blindfolded and tied to a tree. The men left him. Nixon was discovered four hours later and released. The Sheriff has summoned every man in the vicinity and a diligent search is being made for the corpse and suspected murderers. The BIarine Defeated. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 10.-—Alex Greggans, of San Francisco, defeated George La Blanche, “the marine,” last night in a fight with four ounce gloves, for a purse of $2,000. The fight was to have been to a finish, but was stopped by the police in the eighteenth round. Danny Needham was referee and gave the fight to Greggans, and was loudly hissed by the large crowd for so doing- A Cattle Dealer Fails.

The Chinese empire has officially notified the state depzu'tment that it will take no part in the \Vorld’s fair. The emperor’s grounds for declining to send an exhibit are that the United States has discriminated against the citizens of the empire, and that Chinese could not come to the exposition Without being put in the humiliating atti- tude of needing a special passport, to be granted by special act of congress. No ob- jectionis raised to Chinese merchants al- ready in the United States participating in the exposition, but China as a country re- fuses to take any part whatever in the fair. An appropriation of $500,000 for a New York state exhibit at the Columbian exhi- bition was asked for by the merchants who met in the parlors of the Merchants’ club on Leonard street. A bill was drafted which is to be presented in the legislature, and a letter, signed by Colonel William L. Strong, William 1“. King, John Claflin, John Gibb, William E.,Tel.‘ft and J.

GAINING IN POPULAR PAvoK Icnatorlllitchell hiaintains That the liIovc- ment Has Taken Hom- of the-Islasses and That the Demand for the Change Is Imperative. WASHINGTON, Dec. ill—The proposition to elect senators by direct vote of the peo— ple, in favor of which Senator Turpic is a. leading spirit, is not a new idea, but it has only recently attracted much attention. The idea is grOwing in popularity and many congressmen, irrespective of party, are in favor of its adoption. A few years ago it was hardly mentioned and now there is at least one senator, General Palmer, of Illi- nois, who owes his seat entirely to the fact that he made a canvass of his state and se—- cured the popular expression in his behalf, before the legislature was chosen. Last congress Senator Mitchell, of Ore- gon, submitted to the senate a proposed constitutional amendment and made a Speech in favor of the election of senators by the people. This year both Senator Turpie, of Indiana, and Representative Bry- an, of Nebraska, will bring forward a propo- sition looking to the same end. If the ad- vocates of this scheme keep hammering away at it until they create a public senti- ment, they may in courm of time accom- plish the reform. g Senator hiltchcll’s “Views. “1 have looked into this subject with some care,” said Senator Mitchell in speak- ing of the matter, “and I find that when the framing of the constitution was eing discussed at Philadelphia in 1787 one of the plans proposed for the election of senators was their choice by the people. This was not adopted because it was feared that it would give the people too much power. You see we had not entirely thrown off our British training and prejudices then. All sorts Of propositions were discussed from the nam— ing of senators by the president, which was a stride toward monarchy, to their selection by the people, which was pure de— mocracy. The disc: "sion was so vigorous that it threatened to dissolve the conven— tion. The system which we now follow was a compromise in every sense of the word.” , “Do you not find considerable objection to any tinkeiing with the constitution 5" “Of course there are some people who say that it is wise to let well enough alone. No man can excel me in praise for the constitu— tion. It has stood the tests of a century unscathed by civil contention, unharmed by the fires of“ internecine war, and as a whole stands pro-eminent, second to none in Wisdom and architectural strength and beauty among all the uninspired produc— tions of the world. But does it fol- low from this," continued the senator, “that neither the wisdom of 100 years, the altered cOndition of things, nor yet the changed opinions of men or the changed conditions in the mental, moral and social status of the people and of the nation as compared with a century ago shOuld not suggest advisable and important changes in our national charter? Already fifteen changes have been made in the constitu— tion, and every one will agree that they were all well advised; that they have opened wider the dome of individual liberty and en— larged the sphere of human rights.” ‘Vhat WVould Be Gained by It? “What would be gained by the election of senators by the people 3” , “In the first place we would avoid all the scandal which sometimes attaches to a leg— islature that is said to be bribed. N 0 man can bribe a whole state. We would avoid the frequent deadlocks, where the power is given to one member of a legislature to cast the deciding vote for a senator. We would avoid the great waste of time on the part of the legislature in electing a senator, when matters of vital interest to the state are lost sight of and frequently so much time is consumed in choosing a senator that im- portant state legislation has to be postponed. It would also do away with the present great objection that the individual voter cannot vote for his choice. He cannot, in fact, vote directly at all, but must content himself with casting a vote for members of the legislature who nay or may not prop- erly represent his wishes in the vote they may cast for senator. “The system is unrepublican, not demo—~ cratic and vicious in all respects. It carries with it the implication that the people, the qualified voters of a state, are for some rea— son unfit for the full exercise of the elective franchise in the choice of high government officials, except in a qualified and largely re— stricted sense. It is in practical purpose and effect a declaration that for some occult reason, which is in no way made manifest, it is unsafe and prejudicial to the public in- terests to commit the election of senators to a vote of the people.” “Do you believe that the change you.a-re seeking to secure Will be eifected?" ‘ A Demand for the Change. “I have every reason to believe it Will. There is great unrest in the public mind on this question. Popular opinion has taken hold of the subject, and the demand for the change is as pronounced as it is imperative. The belief in the public mind is rapidly gaining that proper deference is not given by the senate of the United States to the demands and interests of the people, and that this is largely due to the fact that sen- ators do not owe their positions to the people, who are permanent, but to the leg- islatures, which are transitory. “It is quite immaterial as to whether this belief in the public mind is well founded or otherwise. It exists, and there is in my judgment but one means of removing it, and that is by a change in the mode of elect—. ing senators, by which the qualified electors of each state shall have the right to vote di- rectly for their choice for senaton” Egan Gets All the Blame. LONDON, Dec. 16.—The Times’ Santiago correspondent says that the entire Chilian press blames United States Minister Egan for the tone of President Harrison’s mes- sage, and not a single newspaper attacks President Harrison. They saythat Minister Egan was asked whether he would telegraph the circular letter prepared by the Chilian foreign minister, and that the official mak- ing the inquiry understood Mr. Egan an- swered “Yes, he would.” .
