Special Dispatch to Democrat and Chronicle. St. Louis, Oct. 31. In the way of political demonstrations St.

Louis eclipsed all of her records this afternoon. By thousands and tens of thousands the marchers gathered at the rendezvous, until there were an excess of 100,000 patriots ready to proclaim their allegiance to the cause of law and order, and their devotion to national honor and honesty. Party allegiance was to the winds; the demonstration was non-partisan in every sense. Sam Kcmiard, the grand marshal of the day. is one or the leading Democrats in the rtate, and his chief aid.

Frank Gaennie, iias been always a de votee of the principles of Jefferson. Democratic clubs lined up shoulder to shoulder with Republican organizations Men from every status and work of life. from every profession, art, business an trade, vied with each other In their dem onstrations of loyalty. The bowed head and dejected mien of the "coerced employes," of which the Pop ocratic press has prated so much, were not in evidence. On the contrary there were, everywhere expressions of pleased enthusiasm, and whenever a Bryan badge or banner appeared it was greeted with laughter.

MeKinley's name was never mentioned without arousing cheers that rolled down the line from battalion to bat talion. A MONSTER PARADE. Over One Hundred Thousand Men Out for McKinley and Hobart. New York, Oct. 31.

A mighty host of cound-monev adherents marched the streets of this city to-day in honor of Me Kinley and Hobart and tire martial strains of a hundred or more bands. It was perhaps the most extraordinary political demonstration held in New lork Planned by business men, it was almost wholly participated in by them. Tens of thousands marched, while hundreds of thousands lined the thoroughfares and cheered. From Bowling Green to Fortieth street the political army tramped with two solid walls of humanity on either side of them. Good fortune smiled kindly upon marchers in the way of weather.

It was a beautiful spring-like day with blue skies and plenty of sunshine. Business for the day had been practi cally suspended, a holiday having been granted the employes of the dry goods dis trict, Wall street and mercantile houses generally. AH day the down-town streets were filled with enthusiasts, and were en- ivened with music from scores of brass bands and by the yells of the gold men The line of march was a blaze of patri otic colors. Scarcely a building along the path of the parade was devoid cf decora tion. Through this wilderness of color the bij political army moved.

Every man shoul dered a flag. Thousands of. the sight-seers were armed with them, too. As the solid pheh-nx marched beneafru. this bewilder ment of color each man waving aloft his flag, the picture presented was stirring and kaleidoscopical.

Thousands of visitors were in the city to witness the big demonstration. They came from all sections within a radius of 100 miles. Probably not since the great nrval and military parade of 1892 in honor of the 40Oth anniversary of the dis covery of America, have such crowds been seen along Broadway. The greatest jams were at the Washington arch. Fifth ave- ue and Fourth street and Madison square.

the latter place where tli3 review and giand stands were, the gathering was immerse. The large open space was filled to overflowing and the police had their hpnds full keeping clear the paride space. The blare of trumpets announced at 10 o'clock that the first column was ready to move. Even a6 that early hour people were massed on the sidewalks along the i cute. Thousands of could be seen in the windows of businvss houses, the scats on the stands were occupied, and every ioint of vantage was taken.

It was an early start, and contrary to expectation, the masses turned out to witness the beginning. At the head of the procession was General Horace Porter, the grand marshal, mounted upon a fiery steed, distinguished by a red, white and blue sash. Following came the special mounted aides, dressed in dark civilian clothes, with white sashes, ami thir horses decorated with rosettes of national colors. Then came a carriage, Ix-aring Mayor Strong and ex-Mayor Hewitt with escorts afoot. Next was the Wholesale Dry (Joods Republican Club, headed by a brass band.

The men marched in fites of sixteen front, with columns well closed up. The whole parade was organized into divisions, sulnlivisions and sections, each industry being properly designated in line. There were in all thirty-seven bodies, each representing a different calling. There was the. millionaire side by side with the toiling clerk; the bank president, the merchant king and men whose names are foremost their branch of btisim'ss, marching shoulder to shoulder with employes, high and low, and vieing with each other in enthusiasm over their common cause.

Woth the exception of the grand marshal and Ins aides, Mayor Strong and MLsyor Hewitt, nil men were afoot. No uniformed political clubs were allowed to participate in the parade. Nearly all the marchers sported on their coats some indication of the political faith, either a McKinley button, red, white and blue ribbon, or a big brass gold bug. At the hour appointed for the beginning of the parade, which was made early owing to the number of applications for positions in line, many thousands of parndors were ready to move. The first division formed on Broadway in the neighborhood of Worth street, the various organizations composing it assembling in side streets, east and west of the main thoroughfare, where they remained until time to take the place assigned to them in the order of the parade.

PRINCETON VERY STRONG The Men From Old Nassau Appear to be the Coming Champions of the Year The Ithacas Nowhere Their Equal Result Assured From the Start. Princeton, Oct.

31. The Princeton-Cor nell game was played on the Princeton 'Varsity field this afternoon before a crowd of fully C.000. Odds of 2 to 1 on the re sult, offered by Princeton backers, found few takers, but there was plenty of bet ting at even money that Cornell would score. The entire Pennsylvania team occupied seats in the Cornell section, and several well-known Harvard coaches were on hand to get a line on the Princeton team. When the Princeton team appeared on the field it was greeted with a mighty cheer.

A few minutes later Cornell ap peared and also received a warm welcome. Cornell won the toss and chose the ball. Promptly at 3 o'clock Ritchie kicked the ball to Baird, who returned it and thereby Princeton gained ten yards on the ex change of kicks. Cornell fumbled, and Smith fell on the ball. Cornell fumbled again and the ball was Princeton's on Cor nell's 40-yard line.

By a succession of mass plays on left and right tackle the ball was carried by Kelly and Barnard to Cornell's five-yard line, where Kelly was shoved over for a touchdown. Score, Princeton 4, Cornell 0. A few minutes later Bannard scored the second touchdown. This time Baird kicked the goal. Score.

Princeton 10, Cornell 0. The next touchdown was made by Kelly. Baird kicked the goal. Score, Princeton 16, Cornell 0. Right here Princeton began to piny hard.

By repeated plunges through the lines and end runs they swept the Cornell team off its feet, and then half closed with the ball on Cornell's ten-yard line. Score, Princeton 16, Cornell 0. Second half commenced at 4:15. After two minutes of play Baird dropped a goal from the field at the thirty-yard line. Princeton 21, Cornell 0.

By an exchange of punts and a fumble by Beacham, Princeton got the ball on Cornell's forty-five-yard line. Miller was hurt, Short taking his place. Kelly also gave way to Reiter. Reiter was dragged through left tackle for fifteen yards, leaving the ball on the twenty-yard, line. On the third down Baird's try for goal was blocked and Cornell got the ball but could not gain.

Baird on a fair catcb tried for a goal from the center of the field, but failed. After an exchange of punts on whien Baird gained about twenty yards each time, lienor, heeler and Baird again rushed the sphere to the line and Baird went over for a touch-down, afterwards lucking goal. Princeton 27, Cornell 0. Wheeler made fifteen yards around Wil son's end, Church interfering. After short gains Wheeler again made fifteen by ttie same play.

Hill retired in favor of Norton. Reiter then brought the ball to the line and Wheeler took it over after tweutv min utes of play. Baird missed goal. Princeton 31, Cornell 0. Ritchie attempted to punt at the center of the field, but Church blocked and Prince ton got the ball on the thirty-five-yard line.

Wheeler made fifteen yards around right end and Reiter added the remainder several plays, scoring a touch-down. Baird kicked goal. Princeton 3, Cornell 0. The game closed with the ball in Cornell's pos session on her twenty-five-yard line. It was an off day for Cornell; the way her backr fumbled the ball was pitiful and only once did she succeed in making first down by rushing the Princeton line.

Her opponents on the other had lost the ball only once on downs, and fumbled it but twice. Princeton's work was undoubtedly the best exhibition of foot-ball given by any team this fall. Her supply of backs made it possible for her to keep fresh players in the game, and this fact greatly handicapped Cornell, especially in the second half. Two halves of twenty-five minutes each were nlaved and during the entire time Cornell did not succeed In getting the ball reared the Tigers' goal than the Jo-yard line. The two men who did the most creditable work for Cornell are Taussig and Ritchie.

Although the latter punted well he was outclassed by Baird nt full-back. Crowdis at guerd, played a splendid game and was a great surprise to all. Hillebrand, at tackle was also a success, interfering and tackling in excellent form. The way in which Smith handled the position nt quar ter wa3 far superior to that of Nelson Poe, who took his place in the second half. The openings through Cornell's line were well made and the backs were very quick in taking advantage of them.

The Tigers' best gains were made through the tackles and around Cornell's right end. Tho iiav Was warm and very unfavorable n-rVoot-bnll but notwithstanding this the Tigers set a good pace at the start and kept it up throughout the game, never re laxing euorts in tne vuguient. on-field wa in good condition and the breeze was fiignt to either side.

THE BERESFORD SPEECH After a Talk With Goschen and Chamberlain the Noble Lord Changed Front and Decided Not to Betray the Naval Weak ness of England. Special Dispatch to Democrat and London, Oct. 31. (Special cable, copyrighted, 18tX.) The impression prevails that a final decision by the powers respecting the best means of dealing with the sultan will be taken in time to enable Lord Salisbury to make an announcement of the subject at the lord mayor's banquet on November 9th and not before, unless, indeed, M. Ilanotaux should let the secret out next week in the chamber in reply to the various interpellations of which' notice has been given to the French government.

In i'tny event the besh-infonned people are confident that the matter will be brought to a head within the next fortnight for an agreement as to the need of active interference has already been arrived at, and the negotiations now proceeding relate to the share each the acting powers shall take in the work. A rumor has been persistently current (that Englcjid has pacified French susceptibilities ia regard to Egypt by promising to convene a European conference to discuss the position in that country after setting the Turkish house ia order, but so far as can be ascertained there is no substantial foundation for the report. There has been a notable stiffening in the British rf.tck connection with this matter, and if any action be taken by England, it will probably be in the very opposite direction to that mentioned by rumor. Lord Charlo Beresford made a notable speech on Wednesday, in which he urged that the time has come for England to tell the European powers frankly that, in promising to retire from Egypt within a certain period, or in certain specified circumstances, she made a mistake and that events compel her to declare it impossible to do anything but sit tight on the banks of the Nile. The speech and the policy thus enunciated attracted widespread interest, and the circumstances under which Lord Beresford spoke add importance to ithe matter.

As cabled a week ago, Lord Beresford suddenly abandoned his intention to expose the navy's weakness, in his speech at Birmingham last week, nnd there is now no doubt that he did so at the request of the government. The following day Mr. Goschen, minister for the navy, met Beresford, nnd both had a long talk with Joseph Chamberlain at the latter's house near Birmingham, Up till that moment Lord Beresford had no intention of making public a speech in London this week, but immediately after the interview his private secretary made arrangements to have a speech delivered at the Constitutional Clnb. This club is virtually the headquarters of Toryism in London, and the selection of such a place by a man of Lord Charles Beresford's position to make an important political pronouncement is. to say the least, somewhat significant.

At any rate it fully justifies the sus picion that Beresford was selected by the government to fly this particular kite, with a view to ascertaining how the people of England would take the course suggested by their popular sailor politician. There can be no doubt that Lord Salis bury would receive strong popular approval if he should resolve on the bold course of repudiating all the numerous pledges a9 to the evacuation of Egypt; how the other powers would take such an announcement remains to be seen. Virtually, it depends upon the attitude assumed by France, and that, again, depends upon the extent and value of the compensation England is prepared to pay for French complaisance. If this new policy has been decided upon. Lord Salisbury is almost certain to refer to it on November 0th, and this, coupled with the expected announcements on the same occasison as to the general Kuropeanv situation, ana tne state of the Venezuelan frontier negotiations, serve to deepen the curiosity and anxiety respecting the pre mier iortncoming speech, for it may be an epoch-making oration.

It is now certain that the ndmiraltv completed plans for fully manning the navy and strengthening the naval reserve, and that the minister for the navy intends to compel the treasury to sanction the necessary expenditure. There is also reason to believe that the minister of war is engaged upon some scheme de signed to increase the strength and ef ficiency of the British army, which, beyond doubt, badly wants the attention of capable reformers. In this connection rumors are current Attributing to the government the intention to propose to make compulsory service in the militia. Most Englishmen get into a cold sweat at such an idea, and denounce, it as un-English andi impossible, but it is littlo more than twenty years ago that a government conscription bill was actually drafted, and though it was abandoned, there is nothing inherently impossible in its revival. 'If such an obligation existed there would probably be a good deal less warlike talk by fire-eating jingoes of the class who, less than a year ago, were urging the government to go to war with the United States, rather than recognize the existence of the Washington Venezuelan commission even unolhVmlly, Carlisle at Washingtou.

Washington, Oct. 31. Secretary Carlisle returned here this afternoon from Kentucky, MUCH DEPENDING ON THE AMERICAN ELECTION. MATTER OF BUSINESS BRYAN'S ELECTION WOULD AFFECT ALL EUROPEAN BOURSES. THE SUPREME COURT Anxiety Centers Upon the Question Whether Anarchy is to Reign and the Highest Judicial Tribunal be Subject to Political Manipulation.

Special Dispatch to Democrat and Chronicle. London, Oct, 31. (Special cable, copy righted, 1S03.) Even in the most exciting days of the Civil war Europe did not watch the affairs of" the American republic with greater interest than it does at the present moment. The struggle of a generation ago did nod particularly concern the Old World, except as a terrible spectacle. Now it has suddenly conio to be realized that the issues at stake in the United States campaign are precisely the issues which threaten, sooner or later, to confront the people of England, France, Germany, and other countries.

It is remarkable that, within scarcely more than a few Lours, Englishmen have appreciated the importance to society and to mankind of next Tuesday's decision of the American people. I have embarrassing evidence that they understand it now. It is only by locking my doors and refusing all comers that I am able to get an opportunity to write this dispatch, and I learn that many Americans resident in London are having similar experiences. Public interest here is now based upon the broader socialistic issues, of the cam paign. Ihe tariff long 8go ceased to hgure in public estimation.

England to-day doeen't rap, what Lap- pens to the American tariff. Moreover, what is still more sig nificant, only those directly concerned are any longer showing much interest in the free-silver issue. The question put to me every hour of the day now is: are the American people going to do with a party which proposes todestroy the au thority of the supreme court? The question is always asked in a spirit which shows recognition of danger, not to the American republic merely, but to so ciety at large. It is frequently accompanied by expressions of fear that the peo pie of the United States may be blinded by smaller and more technical issues and fail to recognize the great and fundamental danger. This hai been said to me repeat edly within a few days: "Why have the Republican leaders almost ignored tht- threats of sedition and anarchy in the Bry an platform? There coulid be no possible doubt of the election if these had been clearly pointed out, while it is easy to understand that the masses might be led astray in discussing difficult currency problems." There is a popular misapprehension in this country upon this point.

There has been little said in the vast amount of matter sent to the English press from the United States in the past few weeks, about any feature of the campaign except the issue between gold and silver, and the impression naturally has been created that the more fundamental issues have been ignored. It is a privilege to be able to record the fact that more genuine sympathy has been manifested the past two or three days in this country, with the American people, in their struggle against the forces of anarchy, than 1 have seen nearly five years residence here. I have more than once questioned the sin cerity of English expressions of fraternal or cousinly feeling in times of crisis between the two countries, but decent Englishmen are not of two minds in this matter. One said to me to-day, with the warmest emphasis: "I haven liked America in some things I don like her -w i i i. 1 action in the Venezuela case ui il America will destroy next week this Goliath of anarchy, I'll cry God bless her! nnd salute the stars and stripes witn tne same affection as the Union Jack." n.

31. The village was ablaze with a grand McKinley and Hobart demonstration last evening. The rally was held at the Republican headquarters, in the arcade, where the mammoth torchlight pa rade wag organized, boon after 7 clock the procession started, headed by the es corts and the Waterloo baud. Dr. J.

W. Day, president of the village, was the chief marshal on LorsebacK. Ihe other marsuala were Theodore Van Riper, Benjamin F. Selmser, Henry I. Buttery, Malcolm Love and William Gibson.

The line of march was formed on A argmia street and pro ceeded up lhiam to Main and counter marched down Main, to Mill, to William, to Swift, to Elisha, to Virginia, to North, to Center, to William, to Washington to Fayette, to Main, to Church, to William, to headquarters where it was disbanded. Along the line of march many residences were finely decorated and illuminated. Main street for a long distance was ablaze with red fire, rockets, Roman candles aiid other fireworks. The procession was a very large one, nnd, considering the fact that many of the Republican voters were gath ered together at the mass meeting in the Academy of Music, and there were no men in line from other towns, it was demon strated that Waterloo is alive with Mc Kinley men. The evening's doings wound np with one oi tne grandest political addresses ever heard in Waterloo by Hon.

Mahlon Chance, of New York city. He was introduced to the audience which crowded the hall by Francis Bacon, president of the Waterloo Wagon Company, who made a brief speech. Mr. Bacon said that the output of Water loo's industries had amounted to $200,000 less these four years of Democratic rule than in the preceding four. Laborers do not want a 50-cent dollar.

They are worthy of the best dollar the Lord ever produced. Mr. Chance began his address by saying tnat he was born in Ohio. The people of that state believed more in the goodness of God than the dexterity of the devil. He had never heard a man quoting Scripture against gold except Bryan.

Gold is the standard of all values. The best rule is called the golden rule. St. John had a golden reed to measure the city of God the city of gold with golden streets. The speaker said that he was inclined to think, therefore, that heaven is on a gold basis.

Jefferson stopped the coinage of silver in 1800. "Wheat has gone up to 90 cents. Silver has gone down 33 per but gold can never be cheapened. For twenty-five years, Bryan and his friends have sought to giv4 the Ampl'an markets to Euroe. The Wilson tariff bill has given prosperity to England and hard times to America.

Bryan and his followers have transferred the prosperity of the United States to England. They wish to raise the prices of commodities and they there by propose a remedy which is worse than the disease For four years, the consump tion of food per capita, has been 25 cents per head less than in the last year of Harrison's administration. Soup houses have had to be established in the last three years to feed the starving. Wages are never lifted only in ft gold country. A silver basis will keep wages down while the prices of commodities will rise.

Three rousing cheers were given for Mc Kinley at the conciusion. The stage was draped in the national colors and was occupied by leading Republicans.

tptal Dispatch to Democrat and Chronicle. Xeir York, Oct. 31. Everything combined to-day to make the sound-money parade a brilliant success. There was a hoct for the honor of the flag- that rose from half a million throats, and lasted the thole day long.

It wag a protest, backed by all the men that make New York the metropolis, against repudiation. It was a demonstration beyond question. The sun rose from the mists into a eloud-K sky and bathed the city with the soft asd radiant air of an Indian summer day. Its rays fell upon such .1 display of the flag of the nation as Lad never been made before. Flags, like autumn foliage on the fflonntains that border the Hudson, the br.Illant foliage than precedes the white aow storm of November 3d, covered the walls of the thoroughfare along which the Piocession was to pass, and draped many a house that was even miles away from tie line of march.

There was a flag displayed for every family in the metropolis, Ptrhaps more. The people had organized divisions and Battalions and companies. They had ksred every band of music in Greater New lork, and then went out to the towns nd cities more than 100 miles awav be- Jna that range to hire more.

31. The bitterest political campaign ever waged in Kentucky closed to-night with excitement at wholesale. More speeches have been made in Kentucky this fall than in any two previous campaigns. Violence has been a frequent occurrence at political meetings, and several killings have resulted from quarrels which arose at these gatherings. Chairman Roberts, of the Republican campaign committee, claims the state for McKinley by from 15.000 to 20,000.

He also claims nine congressmen, including Colonel Brecken-ridge and a fighting chance for two more. Chairman Sommers, of the free-silver Democratic campaign committee avers that Bryan will come to Louisville with plurality. He concedes Louisville to McKinley by 3,000. Mr. Sommers claims eleven congressmen.

The free-silver Democrats and Populists have fused on the electoral ticket and on congressional candidates in all but two districts. The Populists have two on the electoral ticket and these will bring 10.000 Populist votes to Bryan. Chairman George M. Davie, of the National Democratic state central committee, estimates1 that there are 50,000 Democrats who will vote for Bryan. He does not state how many of these will vote for Talmer nnd Buckner, but the indications are that McKinley will get the biggest part of this vote, especially in Louisville.

THE ROYAL ACADEMY. A Meeting to Elect a President to Succeed Sir John Millains. Special Dispatch to Democrat and Chronicle London, Ot. 31. The Royal Academy will meet on next Wednesday to elect a president in succession to the late Sir John Millais.
