BRYAN SPEAKS IN MEMPHIS.
Grosvenor and Miller Declare That Iowa
and Kansas “'1“ Go Republican.
Secretary Carlisle Reports. ‘
on Coinage of Silver.
MEMPHIS, Oct. 6.-—Mr. Bryan at 10
o’clock was escorted to the baseball park.
Ten thousand people were in waiting and
gave the nominee a rousing geception.
Mr. Bryan was introduced by Senator
Isham G. Harris and spoke as follows:
“MR. CHAIRMAN, LADIES AND GENTLE-
MEN—In Memphis it was. something more
than a year ago, that this fight which is
being waged now'was begun—that is, it
was in this city that those in favor of the
gold standard met to begin the work of
capturing the two great political parties,
and it was here, a few days afterward,
that the silver forces gathered to begin the
organization of their campaign. There-
fore at this time, when the wimpaign has
progressed so far that we ar‘e‘ able to form
some estimate of the results, I am glad to
come again to the city which will be
known in history because of the fight
commenced here. It was here that Secre-
tary Carlisle came to address Snot the
Democrats only, but those of all parties
who believed in maintaining the present
financial system, and here began the ore
ganization to offset his influence, the or-
ganization which extended through all the
states, and Which was successful in con-
trolling the policy of the two great politi-
cal parties. You will remember that
when we met at that time there was a dis-
cussion as to the ways and means of con-
solidating the silver sentiment.
“Various plans were suggested, and
we met in that convention and declared to
attempt first to carry all the political par‘
ties to free coinage, and, if we failed in
that, then to find some Way to consolidate
the vote of those in favor of free silver. I
remember that I was in doubt as to the
means. that might be found, and I ex-
pressed my doubt, and yet my confidence
as to the result I expressed by quoting
from one of the Sunday school songs, ‘It
may not be my way, it may not be thy.
way, but in his own way the Lord will
provide.’ , '
“The work went on, and we have been
able to consolidate the sentiment of the
people of this country, so far as the presi-
dential candidate is concerned, on one per-
soh. I am grateful to those who have
been earnest in conviction, earnest enough
in their desire to restore the standard coin-
age Of the constitution to lay aside differ-
ences upon minor questions until this
great fight is won. ” O
The Coinage of Silver.
LOUISVILLE, Oct. 6. —In reply to a letter
from The CourierJournal asking for in-
formation concerning the coinage of sil- ‘
ver, Secretary Carlisle replies in 'part as
fOIIOWs: '
“From Jan. 1, 1896, to Sept. 30, .1896,
standard silver dollars have been coined
at the mints of the United States to the
amount Of $13,912,512. Since Nov. 1,
1893, the date of the repeal of the purchas- V
ing clause of the Sherman act, standard
silver dollars have been coined in the
United .States to the amount of $17,869,-
491, or more than twice as much as was
coined during the whole period of our his-
tory prior to 1878. ~
“The coinage of standard silver dollars
is going on every day at our mints, and
during the last month it amounted to $2,-
700,000. About the same amount will be
coined during the present month. The
seigniorage, or gain, which has been added
to the circulation on account of the coin-
age since Nev. 1,,1893, is about $5,700,-
000, and the seigniorage, or gain, in the
coinage of last month was about $900,000.
“The coinage is being done- under au—
thority conferred upon the secretary of the
treasury by the third section of the act of
July 14, 1890, which provides ‘that the
secretary of the treasury shall each month
coin 2,000,000 ounces of the silver bullion
purchased under the provisions of this act
into standard silver dollars until the first
day of July, 1891, and after that time he
shall coin of the silver bullion purchased
under the provisions of this act as much
as may be necessary to provide for the re-
demption of the treasury noteslherein pro-
vided for, and any gain, or seigniorage,
arising from such coinage shall be ac-
counted for and paid into the treasury.’
“This law is still in force, no part of the
not having been repealed except the clause
which directed the secretary of the treas-
ury to continue the purchase of silver bul-
' lion and issue treasury notes in payment
for it, and the coinage is being made from
the bullion belonging to the government
purchased before the repeal of that
clause.”
Grosvenor and Miller Prophecy.
CHICAGO, Oct. 6.-—General Grosvenor
was at the Republican headquarters to-
day, returning from a week in Iowa. He
spoke today at the commercial travelers’
noonday meeting. General Grosvenor is
enthusiastic in regard to the Republican
situation in Iowa and says the state will
surely cast its electoral vote for McKinley
and Hobart. He speaks particularly of
the enthusiasm of the gold Democrats and
says that at all of his meetings large num-
bers of prominent Democrats occupied
conspicuous seats on the platform and ap-
plauded. General Grosvenor is so sure of
Republican victory in Iowa that he offered
to wager $1,000 to $100 that McKinley
would carry the state. The bet was ofiered
to one of the managers at the national
headquarters, but the latter refused to
take it. , ’
Warner Miller arrived in Chicago today
from a week’s tour in Kansas. The ex-
senator was much impressed by the Re-
publican sentiment in that state and is
sure it will be carried for McKinley. Colon
nel Hahn of the speaker’s bureau has had
so many requests for Mr. Miller’s services
that the New Yorker will not return home
for some days, but will go into Ohio and
make a number of speeches there.
Young In McDermott’s Place.
JERSEY CITY, Oct. 6‘.-—Counselor Alex-
ander C. Young of Hoboken has informed

sional candidate on the Democratic ticket
in place of Allen L. McDermott, who de-
clined last Saturday to accept the nomi-
nation. ‘

The Bishop's Great “’ork For the
Catholic University—How Wash-

ST. PAUL, Oct. 6.—-In an interview re-
garding the resignation of Bishop Keane
as rector of the Catholic University. of
America, Archbishop Ireland said the tele-
gram was misleading; that the pope’s let-
ter simply establishes for the Washington
university the rule which generally ob-
tains in other Catholic universities—that
the term of office of rector be limited to a
fixed number of years. -
“The reasons for a rule of this kind are
obvious,” said be. “A university is too im-
portant an institution to be at any time
constrained under a plea of personal rights

tor. This defect will be remedied at the
next meeting of the directors, Oct. 21.
At the same meeting Bishop Keane will
be beyond all doubt chosen to be his own
successor, and the election will be also be-
yond all doubt ratified by the Roman au-
thorities. ‘
“Bishop Keane is thoroughly identified
with the university. His 'success in the
administration of the ‘nfiairs of the insti-
tution has been marked. To dissociate
him now from the university would be to
doom it to death. No Catholic clergyman
in~the country could do the work which
he is doing and which he will continue
to'do.”.
When informed later of the gist of Bishop
Keane’s statement, Archbishop Ireland
said that he would not change 'his inter-
View.
ppinipn In Washington.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6 —The current be-
lief among some of the prominent Catho-
lics of Washington is that one of the rea-
sons for Bishop Keane’s resignation may
be found in his cooperation with Arch-
bishop Ireland in fostering the liberal
spirits as against the old regime. These
same pet-sens say that the German Catho-
lics of the country are antagonizing the
archbishop and everybody having any-
thing to do with him for his attitude on
the parish parochial school question. It
is asserted that Mgr. O’Connell, formerly
the rector of the American college at
Rome, has at last lost his position because
of'the hostility of those who are opposed
to Archbishop Ireland, and that the retire-
ment of Bishop Keane is another evidence
of their hostility. Bishop Keane is said to
have been a warm supporter of Archbishop
Ireland and his official acts, and the lat-
ter supported Bishop Keane in all he did.
The officials of the Catholic legation
here and Cardinal Satolli decline to make
any statement in regard to the resignation
and declare that the news was a matter of
utter surprise to them.
Metric System For England.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.—Reports to the
state department say that, as a result of
the strong agitation in England for the
introduction of the metric system of
weights and measures, it would seem that
its actual use is not f r distant, and a bill
is already pending before parliament le-
galizing the system. The British mer-
chants are at last becoming convinced that
they can no longer retain their hold of
the world’s markets with their old and
cumbersome system of pounds, shillings,
pence, yards, feet and inches.
Johnson Arrested at Last.
DETROIT. Oct. 6. —The mysterious John-
son, charged by Alfred Bercham with be-
ing the principal in a tobacco smuggling
scheme uncovered in Detroit on June 4
last, was arrested by Special Agent of the
Treasury E. 0. Wood and brought to De-
troit. There is positive evidence that the
man is a part of a conspiracy of large pro-
portions to defraud the United States out
of duty on sumatra leaf tobacco.
A Warning to Hypnotists.
ATLANTA, Oct. 6. —If the ruling of
Judge Foute obtains, hypnotists will have
to be very careful what they order their
subjects to do. During a performance
the subject imagined he was a monkey.
He grabbed a hat from a man in the audi-
ence and bit a piece out. ~ The professor
declined to make good and was prosecuted.
The judge sustained the charge and bound
the hypnotist over.
Forest Fires In California.
PASADENA, Cal., Oct. 6. -Forest fires

GENERAL SANCHEZ DEAD.
The Well Known Insurgent Treader Killed-
] n 2n Engagement
HAVANA, Oct. (SQ—An important en-
gagement, during which General Serafin
Sanchez, the well known insurgent leader,
was killed, has been fought at the Reserva
plantation, province of Matanzas.
Seralln Sanchez was one of the most
widely known of the Cuban leaders. He
was born at Sancti Spiritus, province of
Santa Clara, in 1846, and joined the in-
surgents in 1868, when about 23 years of
age, afterward serving under Generals
Honorato del Costello and Angel del Cas-
tello. He was made an officer in 1871, and
later served under Maximo ,Gomez. In
1874 Sanchez was prOmoted to the rank of
major, in 1875 he was given the command
of a regiment as lieutenant colonel, and,
under General Roloff, in 1876, he was
made full colonel. ,
After the capitulation of the Cubans in
Zanjor Sancheii‘ reappeared in Las Vilas
at the head of a large body of men, but
was finally allowed by the Spanish gov-
ernment to leave Cuba. ,
From that time on Sanchez: lived in'
Santo Domingo and Key West, but in June,
1895, he landed in Cuba with the George
W. Childs expedition under General Rolofl
and had since been made a general. He
recently crossed the trocha from Pinar del
Rio and entered the province of Matanzas.
THE ROMANO MURDER.
New Rochelle Police Think They Will
Soon Capture Gngliermo.
MOUNT VERNON, N. Y., Oct. 6,—Frank
Gugliermo, the murderer of Antonio Ro—
mano of New Rochelle,'whn was shot Sun-
day afternoon a week ago because Gugller-
mo thought Romano was going to marry
the girl whom he loved, was seen near
the Italian ranch in Gleuwocd park in
Yonkers .by Special Policeman Charles
Schwartz. _
The policeman was in search of the inur-
derer, and stopped to pick chestnuts in
front of the Italian ranch. He says he
saw Gugliermo standing at the door of the
barracks with 20 companions. Schwartz
also says that a German woman, who is
married to an Italian, told him that Gug-
liermo has been hiding in this ranch ever
since he shot Romano. The Italian ranch
is inhabited by Calabriar Italians, to which
province Gugliermo belongs. 'The police
think that they will have Gugllermo in
custody wttbin 48 hours.
Gugliermo killed a man in Italy, after
which he fled to the woods. and the police
were searching for him for a year before
they captured him. He served 14 years in
prison inItaly for that murder.
