’PBBBTBBNBT WILLING The Senator Doesn’t, Want the Second Place on the Ticket. MAKES A CALL ON M’KINLEY And Then Declares That the Republican Presidential Nominee \Vill Be a R€si- dent of Canton—His Views on the St. Louis Money Plank. CANTON, 0., June 8.-—Senator Redfield Proctor of Vermont, who was secretary of war under President Harrison, arrived here yesterday and called on Major Mc- Kinley. He has never stopped over in Canton before, but the governor and Mrs. McKinley have visited at his home in Vermont. The senator in an interview said: “The newspapers seem to know more about politics than any one else. I usu- ally go to them for information, instead of furnishing it.” When the matter Of the vice presidency was mentioned. he said: “I am only sure of one thing in that connection, and that is I am not a candi- date.” ‘ ‘And how about the head of the ticket?” was asked. “You would not have to go outside of Canton to see him today.” The senator said he thought that the tarifi‘ was a more important issue in the campaign this year than the financial question. “How do you think the St. Louis plat- form should declare on the money ques« tion?” “For sound money, clearly and un- equivocally, and in [language that can be understood the world over. ” “With congress continuing to make ap— propriations and the revenue continuing to fall off, what is to be done?” “We will have to issue more bonds. ” - “Well. how much further can we go with bond issues?” « “That is hard to say. The remedy, you know, is to provide sufficient revenue so that bonds will not be needed. And we cannot get in shape to do that for a year. ” “Can we then? ‘Do you think the sen ate will be so organized by next year that the straight Republicans will have a work- ing majority?” “I certainly do. Already the legisla- tures have been chosen to select several Republican senators, and others .are as- sured. We can count on a gain of six or seven, and We stand a good chance of get- ting Republican senators in some of the Democratic states. Then I think the re- sult of the election this fall will be so em- phatic as to strengthen the backbone of some of the present members who have not always stood by us and that we will be in shape for a proper administration. ” Other arrivals were Mark A. Hanna and Sylvester T. Everett of Cleveland, George E. Matthews, editor of the Buffa- lo Express, who made the first contest and McKinley victory in the Buffalo district; . General W. T. Osborne of Boston, Nation- al .Committeeman William M. Hahn and wife of Mansfield. They are guests at the McKinley residence. Joseph M. 'Stout, president of the Utah National bank, was ‘also a caller, together with Chaplain F. A. Kendall, U. S. A., of Cleveland. Hanna on McKinley’s Money Views. CANTON, 0., June 8.—M. A. Hanna said in an interview today: “It takes an elastic imagination to con- strue' Major MoKinley’s alleged scrawl to Farmer Bryan, secretary of the Stark County Farmers’ Alliance, in the heat of the warmest congress campaign ever held in Ohio, into a declaration for the free ccipage of silver-w This letter is meant for the major’ s enemies, and I am not surprised that they are making the most of their alleged op- portunity. Vi hether or not Major Mc- Kinley ever penned that letter I cannot say, but I can say most emphatically that I fail to see where he has committed him- self to the free and unlimited coinage of silver. I read the letter and carefully dis- seeted its purported meaning. “Does favoring the use of the silver product of the United States for money as a circulating medium and having gold and silver alike mean free coinage? This statement is only another expression of Major MoKinley’s well known attitude on the money question, in which he declares for gold, silver or paper money good the world over. ' “People seem to forget that McKinley supported the Sherman purchasing clause regulating the coinage of silver in direct opposition to the Democratic attempt in 1890 to foist free coinage upon the coun- try. MoKinley favors honest money.” ' Georgia For Crisp and Silver. ATLANTA, June 8.-—Return§ received ' so far from county primaries and mass meetings held throughout Georgia for se- lection of delegates to the Democratic state convention show surely that a ma- jority chosen are for free silver. In the Eleventh district, represented by Con- gressman Turner, gold standard men car- ried the day, and in the Second district it is probable that Byron B. Bower, gold standard candidate for congress, has been nominated to succeed Representative Bus- sell. A hot fight has been waged in the Ffth district, in which Atlanta is situated, between Congressman Livingston and Charles I. Branan, and Livingston’s re- nomination seems certain. Captain Evan F.'HOWell of The Consti- tution heads the delegation to the state- cOnvention. Bibb and Clark counties are both conceded to silver. For United States senator Crisp has literally swept the state, and the result is everywhere conceded. The state convention bids fair to be a repetition of Kentucky and Vir- ginia. Governor Atkinson and the state house ticket will be renominated without opposition, and a straight silver delega- tion will be sent to Chicago. Silver Democrats Claim Everything. WASHINGTON, J une 8.—The Democratic free silver managers new claim with great confidence that they will be able to mus- ter at Chicago a clear two-thirds majority for free silver, thus doing away 'with any necessity for the change of the time hon- ored two-third rule for the nomination for the presidential candidates. It is understood that the territories and the District of Columbia will each be al‘ lowed six delegates in the convention, thus making its total membership 918, of whom 460 will be a majority and 612 a two-thirds majority, and these 612 votes the silver men say they will have beyond a shadow of a doubt. Morrison‘s Attitude. 'CHIcAGo, June 8. —Ex-Congressman; William S. Forman of East St. Louis, po- litical lieutenant of Colonel William R. Morrison, attended the conference of gold mew-wheqlmn. ' ' Advertiseii'tllo Gm " ' l T ailment ENIN‘G ” * GAZE’I TEl standard Demcrcats at the Wellington ho- tel yesterday and urged the organiza .on to abandon the idea of holding a state convention separate and distinct from Governor Altgeld’ 5 silver meeting at Pec- ria. The meeting was called for the pur- pose of gathering together the prominent gold leaders of the party in Illinois and deciding on organizing a bolting state convention. Mr. Forman declared it to be his firm conviction that it was an ill advised plan and would do the party no material good, but on the contrary meant political suicide to many party leaders. Mr. Forman also intimated that Morrison will accept the presidential nomination on a silver platform. A McKinley League. MALONE, N. Y., June 8. —Initiatory steps were taken in Malone last night to- ward forming a McKinley league in Franklin county. A mass meeting was held at the opera house and addresses were made by Colonel Plummer of North Da- kota and H. H. Hawley of Malone. About 400 members were enrolled and a com- mittee was named to report officers at subsequent meeting. Mr. Hawley, who has been the prime mover in forming the league, was the one delegate from Frank- lin who supported McKinley at the state convention. Blackburn Said to Be For Boies. LOUISVILLE, June 8.—Senator Black- burn dces not take his nomination for the presidency seriously. This statement is made on the authority of State Senator C. G. Bronston of Lexington, one of Sen- ator Blackburn’s lieutenants. Mr. Bron- ston says that Mr. Blackburn does not believe that any man who Wears a Confed- erate button can be elected president, and his only political ambition is to be re-elect- ed United States senator. He is said to favor Boies for the presidential nomina- tion. Here’s a Campaign. Story. ST. LOUIS, June 8.—It was reported to- day that the eastern opponents to the nomination of McKinley for president have formulated plans to place $1,000,000 in St. Louis to be used in carrying the convention for an eastern man. This ' money, the story goes, is to be at the dis- posal of several shrewd lobbyists of long experience, who are said to entertain bright hopes of being able to capture a number of southern and western delegates as wall as eastern men. All For Free Silver. NEW ORLEANS, J une 8.—Delegates were elected by primaries throughout the state for the Democratic state convention which will meet on June 15 to choose delegates to the Chicago convention. In the coun- try parishes, so far as known, not a single sound money delegate was elected, but all are for free silver. In several parishes: a preference was expressed for Boies“ of Iowa for president. Utah Democrats For Silver. ' SALT, LAKE CITY, June 8.—-The Dem- ocratic state convention platform declares in favor of the immediate restoration of the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1 as such coinage existed prior to 1873, regardless of the action or policy of other nations; gold and silver coin to be a full legal tender for all debts, both public and private. "1 Texas Favors Silver. DALLAS, June 8.—Demccratio prima- ries over the state develop the fact that the gold standard Democrats refrained from voting. The vote, compared with that for governor two years ago, shows a great falling off, due to lack of interest generally. The primaries resulted in fa- vor of silver. Declared For Silver. CLEVELAND, June 8.——The Democratic conventions of J efierson and Tuscarawas counties have declared for the free coin- age of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. Mother Haggai: iTurdbred. CORYDON, Ind, June 8. —The house of George Crayden, a farmer living near Ramsey, Harrisbn county, seven miles from here, was totally destroyed by fire, and Crayden’s wife and a son, 13 years of age, were burned _ to death in the flames. Mr. Crayden was absent from home at the time. Upon returning home at midnight he discovered, the bodies of his wife and child in the ruins. Everythingindicates that a double murder has been committed and the house set on fire to cover up all traces of the murderer. Keen‘s Big Claim. CHICACGO, J 11116 8.—David W.

The plaintiff claims to be the owner of the fee of the land upon which the public library now stands. It is claimed that the land, which is held un- der imperfect titles, is worth about $3,- 000,000. England Ofi'ends Italy. LONDON, June 8.—The Sun publishes a Rome dispatch to a news agency here say- ing it is reported that the Italian embas- sador to London has requested his govern- ment to recall him, in consequence of the utterances in the house of commons by Mr. Balfour, the government leader, with regard to the publication in the Italian green book of dispatches concerning the English Sudan expedition.

". 3"”, Twenty per cent. of the inmates of”‘ the state prison at CharleStown, Mass. ., are habitual opium-eaters, and Warden Bridges says that it is next to impossible to prevent the smuggling of this drug into the prison. For one man found 111 his cell under the influence of liquor, twenty' are found stupefied with opium. The warden showed a. visitor the other daya little paper package, not larger than the unsharpened end Of a lead pencil, which contained a fine powder. “There is enough opium there,” said he, “to satisfy seve1 al men, and yet how are we going to detect it when baked in the center of a cake?” The prisoners are allowed to receive presents of fruit and cake. One of the confirmed opium- eaters'is'always well supplied with the drug, but howhe obtains it hasvhitherto mystified the Officials. His only visitor is an old woman, but watchers say they have never seen her' close enough to the man to pass him anything. Dfiring her calls he invariably sits with his head hung down and his 2 hands be- tween his knees, apparently in deep de-l jection. The only conclusion possible is that one of the keepers, and not the old woman, brings him Opium. It is said that- comparatively few of the con- victs have the habit when they arrive. Once within the walls they soon learn the trick of getting the opium, and use it as a. means of becoming oblivious of their surroundings, or at least indiffer- ent to them.‘ . I? AT THE djWELERS. “GRANDFATHEBS shoe buckle” re- . mains a favorite design in silver fan- cies; and square-edged and oval stick- pins and hatpins come in this pattern. LIZARD SKIN is still a fashionable leather, and the proper and costly caper is to purchase such skins entire, after- wards devising useful and pretty arti- cles to be made from them THE portrait craze has given an im- petus to miniature rings and buttons; these last are particularly fashionable and effective when set in rhinestone and jet. .‘ CAMEOS are again fashionable; and the handsome old shell cameo brooches, in white and tan, with quaint designs of overgrown roses or classical heads, are especially effective worn with al- most any costume in brown or tan. MOONSTONES continue popular, and are seen in brooches, buckles, stickpins and rings. This stone is most. artistic set in silver; and a recent feminine fad is to purchase an unset mconstone and have it mounted in some original de- sign. WORTH MANY MILLIONS. Mas. PARAN STEVENS left an estate of $1, 500, 000. She made no charitable or public bequests. IT 15 said that Mrs. Hetty Green' 5 one and only ambition is to make her son the vwralthiest man in the world. Mr _.;, HELEN GOULD receives so many begg'ng letters that her postman has a a notion of going upon a strike for more pay. CORNELIUS VANDERBILT has paid $75,— 000 for a fireplace in his Newport resi- dence. There seems to be no doubt that he has got money to burn. JOHN D. ROCKEFELLEB said not. long ago that his great ambition in life is to accumulate $500, 000, 000. He made a good start toward it in the late oil flurry. ... THE wealth of the Rothschilds at present' 15 estimated at £400,000,000, and is believed to have doubled within the twenty years past. It is figured that in seventy years «more they will possess £15,000,000,000, an amount that can hardly be conceived. To Protect Africa's Elephants. Herr Carl Hagenbeck, of Hamburg, the animal trainer and collector, gives it as his opinion that the best way to protect the African elephant from ex- tinction is to prohibit the exportation of tusks weighing less than ten kilos (twenty-two pounds) and to stop the killing of females and young bulls and encourage hunters, by offering them prizes, to capture the animals alive and bring them into the trading stations. Something will have to be done, and this soon, for at the present rate of slaughter a few years will see the African elephant practically exter- minated. ‘5 ’ Misery Their Portion. The negro colony in the state of Du- rango, Mexico, has proved a. cruel failure. The black men were brought from Alabama and Georgia ostensibly for farm labor. They found them- selves herded in cabins under rifle guard, overworked and maltreated. Fever has carried ofi= half their num- ber. It' 1s no wonder that they are said to be hard to control. The report that the remnant is to be sent home may be true, but the matter would seem to af- ford a proper field of investigation for the government. ‘ J ONLY BllllE FOR llnllls It is so because it strikes at the cause of the (flag gggd,m Irritated, Infiamed, Sluggish, or Overwor '81 111 be M id.
