Revival of_a Reputed Doolaration» of
Governor McKinley.
WOULD HEQUIT THE PARTY?
A SensationalflPublication by a. New York
Daily Newspaper—What liIcKinley Is
Alleged to Have Said to His
”’3 Friends at Thomasville, Ga.
NEW YORK, March 23.—The following’
special, published by the New York Morn.
ing Advertiser (Rep) from its Thomas-
vllle (Ga.) correspondent, has created no
end of comment here, and the politicians
who gather about the Fifth Avenue hotel
found it a fruitful topic of discussion.
This is the dispatch:
The publication of the platform of the
Ohio Republican and the widespread dis-
cussion that its money plank has raised
call to mind an incident of ex-chernor
McKinley’s visit here a year ago, when his
southern boom for the nomination was
formally launched in this little town.
The Ohio governor was at that time the
guest of Hon. Mark A. Hanna at his win-
ter villa here, and in the party also were
State Librarian Smith of Columbus, Gen-
eral W. M. Osborne of Boston and H. H.
Kohlsaat of Chicago, who, only a few days
later, became the purchaser of The Times-
Herald of that city and straightway made
it a stanch Republican newspaper and a
supporter of McKinley for the presiden-
tial nomination.
The McKinley party was the center of a
great deal of Republican interest from one
end of the country to the other. From
most of the nearby southern states there
were daily pilgrimages of Republicans,
who sought to worship at the McKinley
shrine and to climb into front seats in the
Ohio man’s band wagon. The mails
brought him hundreds Of letters from Re-
publicans and Democrats alike, most of
them giving advice for the conduct of the
boom or for shaping a policy. These let-
ters afforded a heap of amusement to the
Ohio statesman and his friends, and one
of them brought out an unexpected as
claration from him—a statement that was
at once startling and sensational, although
made in the comparatively private circle
of Mark Hanna’s glass walled and kite
shaped-smoking room. '
The Cause.
This particular letter was a bulky docu-
ment in a big official looking envelope.
It was opened by State Librarian Smith,
who read it aloud in a half serious, half
grandiloquent way, while the others
smoked and listened. It was a sort of
' syndicate affair—a regularly framed letter
if
l
”V
.y. here to Theodore Thomas.
to Governor McKinley, signed by a self
constituted committee of Georgia Repub-
licans in Atlanta and indorsed by a few
hundred free coinage Georgians and Ala-
_bamans of both political parties.
It suggested to the Ohio governor that
he then and there publicly declare himself
in favor of the free coinage of silver.
“If you do,” the letter explained, ”you
will not only capture the Georgia delega-
tion to the national. Republican conven-
tion and probably those of half a dozen
other southern states, but you will stand
a good fighting chance of securing the
electoral vote of Georgia at the November
election' in 1896. Moreover, the trend of
Republican sentiment is now tOward a
declaration for free coinage by the nation-
31 convention, and your coming out
squarely for it now would blaze the way
for a free coinage platform and make you
the natural, logical and unconquerable
candidate of the party. ”
This was not the exact phraseclogy of
. the letter, but it'was this in substance.
As Mr. Smith finished the reading all
the company except Mr. McKinley burst
into a laugh, but the governor seemed to
take rather a serious view of the proposi-
tion.
He arose from his seat, patted the am~
pie skirts of his Prince Albert coat with
some deliberation, drew himself up to his
full height, thrust his hands into his trou-
sers pocket and said, with a great show
of earnestness and feeling in voice and
manner:
The Effect.
“If the Republican party in its national
convention next year declares for the free
coinage of silver, I will‘absolutely decline
to become a candidate for the presidency
should I have the chance, and I will quit
the party'forever."
One of the company, although not au-
thorized to do so, lost no time in relating
this incident to an Ohio newspaper ccrre:
spcndent then in the city watching the
'boom, and next morning the story was
published in scores of cities throughout
the Union. Before the lunch hour that
day between 70 and 80 telegrams of in-
"quiry came to Governor McKinley from
friends and from Republican politicians
all over the country. Most of them want-p
ed to know if he had been correctly report-
ed, while others censured him for thus
“throwing away his chance" Of a nominaz
tion. None of them was ever answered,-
although such inquiries continued to pour
in upon him by mail and telegraph for a
full week. AsfaI as can be learned Ma-
jor McKinley himself never affirmed or
denied the story, but- others cf the compa-
ny present have from time to time vouch-
ed for the correctness of it.
Just at this time, when efforts are being
made in some quarters to put- ex-Governor
McKinley a-straddle of the money ques-
tion, this incident has a peculiar signifi-
cance. There was no likelihood then nor
is there now that the Republican national
convention will declare for free coinage,
so it didn't require a vast amount of nerve
to make such a positive statement in a
private company. If Major McKinley
would repeat it now, he would clear the
political atmosphere very materially.
There are good Republican friends of his
here who profess to believe that he Will do
it before he is many days older.

ABSOLUTELY
NONUNION MEN ATTAOKED.
During the Bow Several Noncombatantl,
, as Usual, Were Injured.
INDIANAPOLIS, March 23.—-A riot broke
out between the nonunion men employed
in the iron works of Chandler & Taylor
and a number of strikers and their sym-
pathizers. Three men—William Watson,
Walker Davis and Hook Lee—were shot,
Davis fatally. A number of men were
more or less injured by flying stones and
bricks. The trouble originated over the
fact that a number of nonunion men are
employed in the works, taking the places
of the members of the union. A number
of fights have occurred at different times,
and the workmen Were constantly under
police guard.
When the officers started to take them
to their homes, they were set upon by the
mob. It is estimated that no less than
3,000 persons were in the neighborhood at
the time, many of them taking part in
the fight. The nonunion men opened fire
first, after- they had been pelted with
bricks and stones. The fire was returned
by the strikers. The men shot were all
bystanders and. had nothing whatever to
do with the trouble. One policeman was
also seriously injured by being struck
with a brick. A number of arrests were
made.
ITALY’S HUMILIATION.
Action of the Deputies With Regard to
the Abyssinian \Var.
ROME, March 28.—In the chamber of
deputies, in the debate upon the subject of
African credits, a sharp personal alterca-
tion took place between Deputies Mocenni
and Barzilai relative to the recall of Gen-
eral Baratieri. So bitter was the discus“
sion between the two members of the
chamber that a duel is likely to result.
After variofus amendments had been
proposed, including the matter of the im-
peachment of the Crispi cabinet, the sub-
ject of the amendment of Erythree and
the proposition condemnin g peace negotia-
tions with Abyssinia, Premier Rudini do-
clared that Italy’s recent friendly arrange-
ments with Great Britain completed the
system of the country’s alliances with for-
eign nations. He said that it was not cor-
rect to assert that peace had already been
concluded with Abyssinia. though it was
true that negotiations looking to this are
now pending. He concluded by declaring
that he was opposed to the policy of colo-
nial expansion in Africa. The credits bill
was then adopted by a secret ballot, the
vote standing 214 yeas to 57 nays. The
chamber then adjourned until April 28.
The Massachusetts Is All Right.
PHILADELPHIA, March 23.-—-The big
battleship Massachusetts has had her pre-
liminary or builder’s trial and acquitted
herself nobly, making a speed of 15 6-10

as well as this on her official or govern-
ment trial, and Edwin S. Cramp thinks
she will do even better, she will bring a
premium of $50,000 for her builders. _ Her
contract calls for 15 knots an hour.

THE Ev
STANDARD’S ciL TANK,
New Haven pySter Growers Protest Against
Its Locaiiouen {loinnipiac River. ‘
-—The meeting of oyster growers and
dealers and other citizens at the place
of business of H. C. Rowe & 00., on
Friday afternoon, March 13th, fer
which a call was recently issued, con-
cerning the contemplated establish-
ment of an oil tank and distributing
station on the banks of the Quinnipiac
river, was largely attended, says the
New Haven News.
Mr. BOWc, as first signer of the call
for the meeting, called the meeting to
order, and stated that he with others
had issued the call in order to consider
the question as to whether the location
of an oil tank and distributing station
on the banks Of the Quinnipiac river
would be injurious to the oyster indus-
try and property adjoining the river
and vicinity. Mr. Rowe was appointed
chairman of the meeting, and G, Clif-
ford Foote clerk. '
The chairman called on any persons
present who had any knowledge. or
opinion of the matter to express their
views, and counselled careful consider-
ation. ' _
Walter Swain stated that he had had
experience in connection with the loca-
tion of oil stations, and that he had
found there was attain to be leakage
from the apparatus, and that it resulted
in the pollution of the rivers, and the
destruction of the oyslere, clams and
fish in the neighborhood ; also that the
odor was objectionable, and the privil-
ege of bathing was destroyed by the oil
and scum on the water and shores. He
advised that {strong action be taken
against the location of any such plant
on the Quinnipiac river.
F. J. Mansfield of F. Mansfield &
Sons stated that he had information
from a relative who was acquainted with
the matter, that the establishment Of
such a plant would be very detrimental
to the oyster industry and very un-
pleasant for all residents near the river.
Charles D. Parmelee said that the
clams had all been destroyed in the
vicinity of one Of these pumping sta—
tions, and that he thought we did not
want this oil plant located near us.
George E. Lancraft of Lancraft
Brothers stated : “I am thinking that if
we should send three or four shipments
of oysters to our customers tainted with
kerosene we might just as well nail up
our shops and ‘put out a sign ‘For Sale.’
Now, there are people along this~ bank
who have made it a business to live
from the proceeds of these oyster beds,
and their fathers and grandfathers be-
fore them. Now, is it right for this
company to come among these people
and destroy their living? We should
stop it right away. ‘
F. J. Sizer stated that his impression
was that the location of such an estab~
li'shment would be damaging—most
damaging to the oyster industry, so far
as his knowledge and observation went.
rI‘he chairman read a large number of
letters from persons residing or doing
business in the vicinity Of’Oll stations,
the majority of which were of the Opin-
ion that the location of such an estab-
lishment was exceedingly injurious to
the interests mentioned. A gentlemen
present, wvho has property adjoining
one of the Oil station, stated that some
leakage was unavoidable.
The followmg resolutions were unan-
imously adopted:
RESOLVED, That we respectfully re-
quest the representatives of the Stan-
dard Oil company not to locate a. tank
or distributing station for oil on or near
the Quinnipiac river, for the following
reasons: (i) We have information from
many persons in the vicinity Of such Oll
stations that much damage has been
caused thereby to oysters and clams—
also to bathing privileges—and conse-
quently has caused serious depreciation
in real estate in the vicinity. (2) That
even if those persons are mistaken in
their representations, we belieVe that
the loCation Of such an oil station Would
be used by evil disposed persons to in-
jure those engaged in the oyster busi-
ness here, and that if fire or explosion
should be caused by lightning or elec
tric communication, it might result in
the burniiu.r of any buildings loc lied on
either side of the Qulnhlplac I'll/cf for u.
long distance. '
» Resolved, That we ctll attention to
the fact that this riVer has produced
great quantities of valuable oysters
from time immemorial, unl that this
villiaze was the cradle of the original
oyster shipping business of the United
States, and is now of use not only to
many large shippers of oysters, but is
the dependence Of hundreds of owners
of small tracts, whose busineSs resour-
ces would be “taken away if this river is
polluted by 011. _
REsOINED, That the thanks of this
meeting are extended to the authorities
of the borough of Fair Haven East for
their Offer of assistance in this matter,
and that we request the ofiicers of the
borough, and also the propergauthori-
ties of the citv and town of New Haven,
to usethe lawful means to prevent the
pollution of the Quinnipiac River at
any time by oil or chemicals which will
destroy oysters and fish. We also re
quest the Connecticut Oyster Growers’
association to aid us in procuring any
legislation or taking any other steps
necessary to protect, our interests in
these respects. ~
La Grippe Promptly Cured.
S..T. \Viley, a well known school teacher
at Gibbon Glade, Fayette ,Co., Pa., says: “I
am very much pleased to testify to the
efficacy of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy,
one bottle Of which I purchased of James
O’Neil, Of this place. It gave me prompt
and permanent relief from a severe attack
of the grip. Since then, I have used it
whenever attacked by any throat trouble,
and it has always effected a prompt cure.”

Letter to Congressmen.
WASHINGTON, March 23.—T.he_Ame$lcan
Protective association, better known as
the A. P. A., which has been a factor in
the state and municipal politics of several
states for a number of years, has an-
nounced its intention to enter upon the
field of national politics in the coming
presidential campaign. Its first move to-
ward this crusade will be taken at a con-
clave of the supreme advisory board of the
organization, called to meet in Washing-
ton on Tuesday, March 24. This is pre-
liminary to the sessions of the supreme
council. which will be held here in May.
Prominent members of the order from ev-
ery congressional district in the country
will take part in the deliberations of the
supreme council and will determine the
part which the organization will take in
the campaign.
It is a part of the programme‘to insist
on the re-enactment in party platforms
this year of the planks of the Republican
and Democratic platforms of 1876, in
which both parties declared against secta-
rian appropriations and emoluments from
public moneys or property. In that year
Mr. Blaine proposed in congress an amend-
ment to the constitution, which follows:
“Article 16—Neither congress nor any
state shall pass any law respecting an es-
tablishment of religion, or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof, or use the property
or credit of the Upited States or any state,
or any money raised by taxation. or au-
thorize either to be used for the purpose
of founding, maintaining or aiding by
appropriation, payment for services, ex-
penses or otherwise any church, religious
denomination or religious society or any
institution, soci'ety or undertaking which
is wholly or in part under sectarian or ec-
clesiastical control. ” _
During this congress Mr. Linton of
Michigan introduced the same amendment
and the A. P. A. will, endeavor to have
the amendment made a part of the con-
stitution.
Another feature of the programme with
which the advisory board will deal is what
the political leaders of the A. P. A. call a
campaign of education. They declare
that their literature shall reach every post-
ofiice in. the country and every voter be-
fore election day. ~
An A. P. A. Document.
Senators and representatives have heard
from the A. P. A. organizations of their
states during the past month. The fol-
lowing is a copy of a letter which has
come to nearly all of them:
“At a recent meeting of the state coun-
cil of the American Protective association
a resolution was unanimously adopted
that we request our senators and repre-
sentatiyes in congress to work and vote
for the following hills, which are now
pending:
“A bill to secure‘a just distribution of
federal Ofiioes, known in the last congress
as house bill 8,984; a bill to establish a
national university. known in the lastses;
sion as house bill 8,949; a bill tO restrict
immigration and regulate naturalization,
known as Linton’s bill, house bill 8,774;
Linton’s joint resolution. 11, amending
the constitution prohibiting for all time
sectarian appropriations; a bill to pro-
hibit advertisers or others from using the
national emblem 'as an advertising device.
“We hope that this expression of the
representatives of so many of your consti-
tuents will meet your indorsement as be»
ing in the interests of our country and in
line with the ideas of the founders of our
government.
“We also desire to respectfully call your
attention to the fact that it is the design
to place in Statuary hall a statue of Peru
Marquette. We regard this as a dangerous
innovation. The Jesuits have been ban-
ished from almost every Catholic country, ,
and yet here in Protestant America they
are not only allow-ed to remain and plot
against the liberties of our people, but it
is even now proposed to further violate the
principle of separation Of church and state
by the introduction of the statue of one Of
these traitors to all government among
the statues of those patriots who have giv-
en their lives; that government by the
people should be preserved, and We appeal
to you to use your endeavors so that this
idea shall not be carried out.”
This letter has attracted a great deal of
attention here by reason of its denuncia<
tion of Pete Marquette, no less than be-
cause of the announced intention of the
organization to enter the field of national
politics.

I Rabid Feline. '
an YORK, March til—Robert Martin, \
7 years old, living with his parents on the
second floor of the flat house at 107 East
One Hundred and Second‘street, was play-
ing in front of his home when a large gray
cat ran down the street with the hair on
its back bristling, its tail expanded to
thrice its ordinary size and .its eyes flash-
ing fire.
The wild animal attacked. the child,
fastened its claws in his right leg and hit
him repeatedly in the leg and abdomen.
The boy screamed, but the cat "clung to
him, tearing and hitting his tender flesh,
until his mother and several of the neigh-
bors came to his aSSistance. The cat was
beaten off with sticks and kicks, and then
it ran into the cellar of the house, while
the boy was carried to the apartments of
his parents.
Policeman Pfeif followed the cat into
the cellar and soon found the animal, which
had taken refuge in one of the woodhouses.
When the officer entered the woodhouse,
the cat attacked him, leaping as high as
his shoulder and fastening its claws in his
belt. The policeman shot it to den. i.
The-boy wasfound to be suffering from
numerous severe lacerations of his leg and
abdomen, and his mother took him at once
to the Pasteur institute for treatment, as
it was the general opinion that the cat
was suffering from hydrophobia.
A MILLION DOLLAR BLAZE.
A Disastrous Fire In a Natrons (l’a.) Cop-
per Smelting Works.
PITTSBURG, March 23.—A disastrous
fire in the smelting apartment of the cop-
per works of the Pennsylvania Salt Man-
ufacturing company, at Natrons, caused a
loss estimated at $1,000,000. The build-
ings destroyed covered nearly four acres
of ground. The output of the plant was
about 100,000 ounces of silver and 3,000,-
000 pounds of copper a month. The fire
started by the blowing out of a furnace,
the hot metal igniting with some waste
near the mouth. The flames spread rapids
ly, and in a short time the furnaces and
the buildings were a mass of flames. It
was a miracle that the upper part of the
town and lower works were saved.
As it was, the costly machinery and
mechanical appliances were destroyed.
Sixteen furnaces and 50 tanks are ruined.
The buildings are gutted and will have to
be rebuilt. A number of loaded freight
cars standing on a siding adjoining the
works were consumed. The'insurance on
the plant could not be learned, but it is
believed it will cover the loss. The in-
surancewas mo- ., .y placed in Philadelphia
companies. The Pennsylvania Salt Manu-
facturing company is controlled by east-
ern capitalists and is one of the most sub-
stantial corporations in Pennsylvania.
The main Office is in Philadelphia.
