kentucky is for Mckinley STILL TOURING AND TALKING DEATH AND DESTRUCTION promotion to permanent ratings, by extending the grade of yeomen. The writers, who are necessarily a superior quality of seamen, have had no opportunity for advancement in the past, but by the new order those formerly known as yeomen are made chief yeomen, with pay at the rate of $00 per month, and the writers are now made first, second and third class yeomen, with the pay of $40, and $30 per month, respectively. WILL NAME A RECEIVER. "'Mr. Spsaker, I will not vote against this bill and thus deprive the people of a country and the laborers and the producers and the industries of my country of $30,000,000 annually of additional circulating medium.

A Voice "Ho did not know Mark Ilanna then." (Laughter and applause.) Mr. Bryan: "At that time he declared that he would not vote to prevent his people, the laborers, the producers, from having $30,000,000 a year more than they were getting under the Bland act, and yet now with a decreased circulation, he tells you that it is not more money that we need but to put what money we have in circulation. (Applause.) "My friends, what change has taken place in the last six years. Then he desired to increase the amount of money in circulation among the people, and now he believes that all you have to do its to have confidence that you have enough and you never notice the loss. (Applause.) My friends, the platform uroa which that candidate stands declares in favor of the maintenance of a gold standard until the leading commercial nations of the world join us in abandoning it.

Led me read you what the Republican candidate 6aid six years ago in the discussion of the Sherman bill: 'I am for the largest use of silver in the currency of the country. I would not dishonor it. I would give it equal credit and equality with gold. I would utilize both metals as money and discredit neither. I want the double stand-ard and I believe a conference will accomplish these He wanted the double standard then.

He wants the gold standard now. What change has taken piace? (Applause.) If the double standard was good six years ago. it is good now. (Cries of 'Good, The principles Most of the victims were buried deep ii-mud by the tidal wave, and many of the bodies will probably never be recovered. Deplorable as is the loss of life in Cedar Keys proper, it is as nothing in comparison with the number of spongers and fishermen who were drowned.

The Mary Eliza, a sponging schooner, reached Cedar Keys yesterday and reports that at dark Monday night nearly 100 vessels were anchored on the sponge bar just below Cedar Keys, and that nearly every one of them was sunk by the hurricane. As these vessels carried from four to ten men, loss of life is horrible to contemplate. It is possible that many of the vessels were blown into the gulf and rode out the hurricane, but the Mary Eliza's captain thinks by far the greater number are beneath the water with their crews. He says there was not one chance in a thousand for such frail craft to live in the hurricane. Two men who went down the coast a few miles returned to Cedar Keys late yesterday afternoon and reported finding the bodies of eight men which had ibeen washed ashore.

These men were the crew of a sponging vessel and the crews of most of the other vessels undoubtedly met a similar fate. Four men reached Cedar Keys in a dingy. They nvere a part of the crew of the schooner Rosalie, and report the vessel sunk and eight of their companions drowned. The schooner Gertrude is dismasted and abandoned fifteen miles south of Cedar Keys. The Mallory is fast in the Suawanee river swamps.

The steamers Belle of Suawanee and C. D. Owens were both wrecked in the Suawanee river. In Cedar Keys those who escaped death had a terrible experience when the tidal wave came and overwhelmed the houses. Many -of the inmates floated in the water, clinging to pieces of timber; others cluing' to tree tops for hours until the water receded.

They were buffeted by wind and wave, and many are still unaccounted for. HAVOC IN CEMETERIES, Opposed to the Czar's Grand Reception in Paris. Paris, Oct. 2. The Socialists of this city are indignant at the extensive preparation that are being made for the reception of the czar.

To-day the dead walls and other pCaees were decorated with flaming red bills, signed -by the Socialist leader, Baudin, Chauviere, Vaillant and Walters all 'numbers of the chamber of deputies' and others prominent in the party, del nouncing the tyranny of the ruler of Russia. As soon as the police lea rued of the bills, men were detailed to go about the city and destroy them. The Parisians generaliy are greatly incensed at the action of the Socialists. The city is rapidly fi'Jing with visitors. Thousands of foreigners and people from the provinces are arriving daily to aid in welcoming the czar, and to take part in what will undoubtedly be one of the grandest demonstrations ever seen in Paris.

The enthusiasm of the French people over the visit of the czar has seldom been equaled. Congressional Nominations. Troy, Oct. 2. Allan V.

S. Cochrane, of Hudson, was nt-med to-day ns the Republican candidate for congress from the nineteenth district to fill the. vacancy caused by the nomination of llou. Frank S. Black for governor.

Belden. The petition was LrougLt here by Judge Cady, of Syracuse, who said it contained 2,000 Republican signatures, 1,000 being required by law.

RECENT LARGE GAINS Doubt is Expressed as to How National Democrats Will Vote, But the Most Careful Estimates of the Latter Show a Safe Majority for McKinley. Special Dispatch to Democrat and Chronicle. Louisville, Oct.

2. From a reliable source it is learned to-night that the Republicans have nearly completed an accurate poll of the state by school districts. The result shows gains over the first poll, and gives the state to McKinley by majority. The poll tallies very closely with the last two elections, except that there is an increase of 7,000 Republican votes, which would bring up McKinley's vote almost to that of Cleveland in 1SSS. In this poll they -allow 20,000 Populists to Bryan, claim 10.0(H) sound-money Democrats and allow Palmer and Buckner votes.

The Republican defections to free silver are 3,000, though, the Popocrats claim 8,000. Secretary Carroll of the National Democrats gave out an estimate which puts the Bound-money Democratic vote at 50,000. tflow do you arrive at that figure "By actual count." said Mr. Carroll. "We know of 42,000 sound-money Democrats in this state who iwill not vote for Bryan.

Our reports in the last two weeks from the Tarious counties have been voluminous and from them we are now sure of 42,000 sound-anoney Democrats who will not support the Chicago ticket. We look for an increase of 8,000 between now and November." "From your Teports, what vote do you think Palmer and 'Buckner will poll 7 "I cannot answer that question iwith any degree of accuracy, because I do not know what percentage will Tote lor McKinley, paid Mr. Carroll. RIGHT TO PARTY NAME. The Question Will be Taken to the Courts.

New York, Oct. 2. The managers of the Democratic state campaign have decided to go into litigation if necessary to prevent the use on the blanket ballot by the gold Democratic party of the name "The National Democratic Party. Chairman Elliott Danforth of the Democratic state committee said that) a protest against the use of the name "The National Democratic Farty" by the gold Democrats would be filed -with the secretary of state at Albany as soon as possible. "The protest ia being prepared now, said Chairman Danforth, "and as soon as the certificate of nomination is filed will be forwarded to Albany.

If the secretary of state refuses to entertain our protesb we will carry the matter at once to the courts end employ the best counsel to be nad." The National Democratic Party" Is the nam? which was adopted by the In dianapolis convention and afterwards at the gold Democratic convention in Brook lyn. At the gold Democratic headquarters to day it was announced that Chairman Dan-forth's committee would get all the. fight they wanted, and that the right to use tin? title "The National Democratic Party' would be defended to the last. Chairman Danforth said that up to the present he bad received no communication from Senator Hill as to his attitude on the state or national ticket. KILLED ON THE TRACK.

ADDRESS TO FARMERS THEORIES PRESENTED TO THE TOILERS OF WEST VIRG NIA. CIRCULATING MEDIUM The Coy Orator Presented Some Surprising Figures That Will be Genuine News to the People Al-" leged Quotation From McKinley.

Wheeling, W. Oct. 2. W. J.

Bryan's onward march continues and the candidate's pluck is the cause of much comment. Mr. Bryan has already broken the record of any presidential candidate In the matter of speech-making and still has a month' before him. His reception in this city was most enthusiastic. There were cheers for Bryan everywhere, but here and there little knots of admirers of his opponent had clustered wearing in their hats yellow badges on which were printed the name of their standard-bearers and as Mr.

Bryan passed these, the people cheered the Democratic nominee. At the grounds the grand stand in front of the platform erected for the speaker was packed and the racing track was crowded as far as the candidate could be heard. He was cheered and applauded liberally and on account of the vast throng had to speaK from three sides of the stand. The speecn was a repetition of the most of his utterances in support of the coinage of silver at 16 to 1, dwelling at great length upon the benefits which the farmer will derive from free coinage. At the fair grounds Mr.

Bryan wag introduced by Ex-Congressman John W. Ald-erson and spoke as follows: "I desire to express my thanks to those who have so kindly presented me wltn this gavel, made from the wood of the house in which Stonewall Jackson was born. We are far enough removed from that war between two sections of this country to give to the general on the Southern side that credit for military genius which was denied in the bitterness cf strife. I can rejoice that the valor shown on that side gives a guarantee that in any future struggle the North and South shall stand side by side prepared to drive back any invader or to guard and carry forward the greatest country on earth. (Applause) "I am here, my friends, to present to you for a few moments the issue which is paramount in this campaign.

I am here to impress upon your minds the importance of your responsibility as citizens this year, Every hour is of the same length, and yet there are hours into which are crowded great results. There are moments upon which turn the destinies of nations, and when the people go to the polls this fall, they ought to go, realizing that upon the result of this election much depends, much for weal or woe, much for good or ill, and, my friends, as an election may turn upon the electoral vote of one state, so the elec toral vote of a state may turn upon the vote of one citizen. No one can afford to trifle with citizenship this year. "It has rejoiced me to see that all over this country people are taking an interest in the campaign. Sometimes in campaigns we find the people lukewarm, but in this campaign we have no lukewarm people.

They are all for us or against us. (Ap plause.) We find some who are bitterly opposing the success of free coinage, but as against them we find an intense earnest ness among the advocates of free coinage, as much as was ever manifested by the ad vocates of any cause. And, my friends, we must depend upon this earnestness. among the people themselves to offset the tremendous influence of a corruption such as was never known before in Amer ican politics. If we are right in the posi tion which we have taken, then our cause must appeal to the hearts of the American people, and they must see in this election an opportunity which may not come, again to restore to the people of this nation a government which respects the humble members of society and is not terrified by the people of any other country.

(Ap plause.) You must see in this campaign an opportunity to restore to the people a financial system suited to the needs of our people, a financial system which is American and which is not received by importa tion from abroad and then held here by the domination of capital. (Applause). "My friends, I want you to understand the- necessity for a financial system which will give to the people of this country enough money to carry on the business of this country. I want to impress upon your minds this fact, that there is in circulation $150,000,000 less than there was two years ego, as is shown by the treasury statistics. What does it mean It means that with increasing population we have a diminishing supply of money, and yet, my friends, when we call this to the attention of our Republican opponents, they seem unconscious.

Since when have they forgotten that there is a necessity for an increasing circulation Since when have they discovered this new idea, that the less money you have in the country the more money an individual can get? I want to quote to you, not from Democratic authority, but from -the great leader of the Republican himself.I want to compare what the Republican candidate for president said this year with what he said six years ago in regard to the necessity for an increasing circulation. You will find in his letter of acceptance of this year this statement: 'It is not more money we want. What we want is to put the money we already have at Now, remember, my friends, that these words were uttered at a time when the circulating medium had fallen off $1.10,000,000 in two years. Remember that he says we do not need more money but need to put what we have in circulation. He says this at a time when the circulation has fallen off $130,000,000 in two years.

Let me compare that with hat he said six years ago, when instead of having a decreasing volume of currency we had an increase of about $240,000,000 every year. At that time they were trying to substitute the Sherman law for the Bland- Allison act. The Bland-Allison act put in circulation about every year. that the circulation waa increasing and not decreasing an it is now. Let me read you what the Republican candidate, then in congress, said in regard to the necessity for an increasing circulation: APPALLING ACCOUNTS OF THE CEDAR KEYS HURRICANE.

1 MANY LIVES WERE LOST A GREAT TIDAL WAVE SWEPT THE DOOMED TOWN. PROPERTY LOSS HEAVY The Fishing Boats and Sponging Schooners Went Down by Scores No Railroad Communications With the Town -Fire Added Its Terrors. Savannah, Oct. 2. A letter from Cedar Keys, dated October 1st, says: The WTest India hurricane struck Cedar Keys about 3:30 o'clock Tuesday morning and left a scene of wreckage and devastation in its wake.

It was by far the most destructive storm that has visited this portion of the gulf coast in twenty years, and the property loss is immense. Though warning had been given, nothing indicated a blow of unusual severity. Up to 11 o'clock the night was calm and quiet. At that hour a moderate breeze sprang up fiom the eastward, increasing gradually until a 30-mile wind was blowing. About 4 A.

M. it blew a tornado, and suddenly changed to the southeast, bringing in a deluge of water, the tide rising two feet higher than it did in the memorable gale of 1894, which was at the time said to be the severest storm on record. At 7 o'clock an immense tidal wave came in from the south carrying destruction with it. Boats, wharves and small houses were hurled upon the shore and breaking into fragments, covered the streets with wreckage, rendering them almost impassable, while the torrents of water rushing through every open space would take the strongest man off his feet. At 10 A.

M. the worst was over, the wind subsided, the water oe-gan to recede and by 2 P. M. people could begin reckoning up the losses and clearing away the wreckage. The property loss is very heavy.

Aside from direct damage from the storm while the gale was at its height, fire broke out in the Bottini house and it was burned. The wind totally demolished the large Methodist Episcopal Church south, the high school building, the Christian Church and the colored churches, several private residences, and all the fish houses except on. It also badly damaged a number of residences and stores. The Suwanee ice factory, Wolfs cedar mill, the Eagle Pencil Company's mill, the large lumber mill of V. J.

Herlong, and the planing mill of Mercer Son, suffered considerably. The Florida Central Peninsular railroad is a heavy loser, as all the track trest-ling is washed away for a distance of three and a half miles. It will probably be a month before trains run through. Mails will be dispatched and received in the meantime with a boat running as a connecting link. The adjoining islands of Atsiena Otie also suffered considerably, the Faber comiany being the principal loser.

lis storage room, with about 3,100 cases of cedar ready for shipment, was washed away and the cedar has gone to sea. The company also lost the office buildings and contents, wharf and cedar logs. Bad as the loss of property is, it is feared that the next few days will reveal a deplorable loss of life as well. So far aa learned eighteen persons have been drowned. Of the whites six belonged to one family, a mother, four children and a nioco.

The Mary Eliza, a sponging schooner, came in ab 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. Her jury-rigged mast had to be cut away to prevent capsizing. She reported that at dark Monday night nearly 100 vessels were anchored on the sponge bars, and at daylight this morning not one was in sight. Some may have made harbors at other points, but many have gone do wit. At 7 P.

M. Wednesday eight men of the sponger Rosalie came in their small dingies ami reported that their schooner had capsized and sunk off shore and four men had been drowned. Much anxiety is felt in regard to fishermen, some encamped on small islands along the coast and others who left for camps yesterday. The result) of the storm will be particularly disastrous to those engaged in the fishing industry, which had opened up with the most flattering prospects for a successful season. The product is now cut off from shipment by railroad.

Some of the handsomest and apparently most substantial buildings in the city are damaged beyond repair. HUNDREDS KILLED. DetaiU of the Great Storm on the Gulf Coast. New lork, Oct 2.tA dispatch from Jacksonville, says that Cedar Keys is a place of desolation and death to-day. Monday it was a thriving town of 1,500 inhabitants.

Now many of the jeople are corpses, scores, of others are injured and there are rtmt few houses left standing. Twenty corpses have ibeen recovered. It is known that many other persons have been killed. Of those recovered but few have been identified, so mutilated were they by falling timbers. The storm struck the place at o'clock on Tuesday morning and1 continued for several hours.

At 4 o'clock A. M. it blew a perfect tornado and suddenly changed to southeast, bringing ia a deluge of water, the tide rising two feet higher than in the memorable gale of 1804, which was at the time said to be the severest storm on record. At 7 o'clock in immense tidal wave came in from the South, carrying destruction with it. Boats, -wharves and small houses were buried from the shore, and, breaking into fragments, covered the streets with wreckage and rendered them impassable, while the torrents of water rushing through every open space would take the strongest man off his feet.

It waa this tidal wave that caused the principal loss of life, many houses being swept from their foundations, and the inmates drowned. Of the twenty bodies recovered twelve are white and eight colored. Of the whites six belong to the Whitson family, a mother, four children and a young woman visitor. The other white victims are men, and have not yet been identified. Of the ehrht colored only one, Peter Woodson, has ibeen Identified.

The Ogdensburg Lake Champlain Railroad in Default. Syracuse, N. Oct. 2. The action brought by the state through Attorney-General T.

E. Hancock for the appointment of a receiver of the Ogdensburg Lake Champlain Railroad Company was heard before Justice Peter B. McLennan of the supreme court here to-day. Attorneys E. C.

James and Lewis Hasbrouck, of Ogdensburg, opposed the application for a receiver. On the other side were Attor-ney-Geperal Hancock, John W. Hogan of this city, Daniel G. Griffin of Watertown, General Wagner Swayne of New York and Thomas fcpratt of Ogdensburg. Mr.

James declared that while the road was not in a flourishing condition, it had not been insolvent for a year as stated In the application, and that the application should not be entertained because the road would soon be able to meet all obligations. In the application it was claimed that the railroad company had defaulted in both its first mortgage and second mortgage (bond interest. The money to pay the interest on the first mortgage bonds was alleged to be in the hands of the receivers of the lessee, while the interest on the second mortgage bonds is payable only on resolution of the board of directors. It was denied that the liabilities of the road were $40,000 in excess of the assets. Mr.

James argued that where a company, as an individual, was embarrassed because of unusual monetary conditions, it should not be deemed to be insolvent on that account. Justice McLennan said that it was clear to him that a default had 'been made in the payment of interest on April 1st, and it seemed clear that the company could not meet its obligations. The road and equipment could not be counted as assets, as they had been leased to the Vermont Central Railroad Company. The only asset therefore was its revenue. He thought the case a prima facie one, and that a receiver should be appointed.

The matter was held open until next Thursday or Friday, when the receiver will be named. ANOTHER FORGERY. Words Which He Never Uttered Put Into Lincoln's Mouth. Chicago, Oct. 2.

Ferry S. Heath, of the Republican national committee, to-day received from John G. Nicolay, one of President Lincoln's secretaries, a letter in which he declares spurious an alleged quotation from Lincoln now ia general circulation a. a Democratic campaign document. The quotation thus condemned is as follows: "As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people, until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the republic is destroyed.

I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the niidet of war. God grant that my suspicions may prove groundless." Mr. Nicolay says: "This alleged quota tion from Mr. Lincoln is a bald, unblushing forgery. The great president never said it or wrote it, and never said or wrote any thing that by the utmost license could be distorted to resemble it." IVORY ARRAIGNED.

No New Evidence Was Producd Against ths Alleged Dynamiter. London, Oct. 2. Edward J. Ivory, alias Bell, the alleged dynamiter who on Sep tember lzth was arrested in Glasgow and transferred to the custody of the London police, was arraigned for the second time in the Bow street police court thi3 morn ing.

No new" evidence ws forthcoming and tne prisoner was again remanded. Ivory's solicitor professes to believe that the case of his client will be dropped. The barrister representing the treasury did not make lus appearance when Ivory was arraigned to-day, and this fact is taken as indicating the intention of the prosecuting authorities to abandon the case for want of sufficient evidence to convict Ivory participation in an actual dynamite con spiracy. The poJice officials, who were present at the arraignment of Ivory, denied that any Klea of dropping the case was enter tained. Ivory himself was in a cheerful mood and apparently was not apprehensive as to the future developments of his case.

JAMAICAN TOWN BURNED. Two-Thirds of Jacmel Destroyed-Five Millions. -Loss Special Dispatch to Democrat and Chronicle. New York, Oct. 2.

The steamer Andes, which arrived this afternoon from Jamaican ports, brings news of the great lire which destroyed two-thirds of the town of Jacmel on September 19th, 20th and 21st. At 10 o'clock in the morning flames were discovered on the hill near the cathedral. The fire burned seaward and destroyed the cathedral and all the houses and stores between the hill and the sea. No water could be obtained at any time during the fire, which raged from Saturday morning until Tuday night, when the Andes sailed. On that night the fire was ttill smoldering.

The less is estimated at $5,000,000. The fire was supposed to be the work of an in cendiary. Danger of War Averted. New York, Oct. 2.

A special to the Herald from London says that there is good reason for believing that a very im portant agreement has been arrived at between the great powers, and that all dan ger of a European war has, for the present, passed away. It is certain that the interviews between the czar and Lord Salisbury at Balmoral have borne good fruit. New York Central Earnings. New York, Oct. 2.

The leaders of the sound-money Democrats of Indiana, after a long conference to-day, decided to put a full state ticket in the field. This action is due principally to the recent so-called fusion of Populists and which underlie the double standard have not changed in six years; the laws of finance have not changed in six years. Now, my friends, they tell us that we are tryiug to furnish a market for silver bullion. They tell us that our cause Is simply the cause of the bullion owners. Wi deny it.

We insist that we want silver for money and we want it, not because we produce silver in this country, but bees use we need silver in the commerce of this country. And yet, my friends, the very people who are accusing us of working in the interest of the mine owner are supporting a Republican candidate for president who six years ago argued in favor of the Sherman law, and one of the teasons he gave was that it would furnish a market for all the silver produced in the United States. (Applause.) Let me read further: 'So, I say, Mr. Speaker, thia bill is ju to the silver produceis of Ihe United States, for it does what the present law, as administered by every administration for ten years, has not done. Ib takes every dollar of silver bullion that is produced in the United States and places it at the disposal of the people as And yet the man who used that language six years ago is standing upon a platform which refuses to take a single dollar of the silver produced in this country and put it at the disposal of the people for money.

(Applause.) My friends, I call your attention to these extracts from speeches made by the Republican candidate in congress and compare them with what he says now, not because I deny to a man the right to change his mind, but my friends, I insist that) when a man changes his mind he ought to have reasons for it that he is willing to give to the American people so that they ay judge." (Applause.) (A voice: "Give it to Laughter and applause.) Mr. Bryan No, my friends, I am not going to say one word against) the Democratic president. I am going to leave history to record that the man who went into office with an overwhelming majority, went out of office supporting a ticket which did not carry a single county in the United States. (Applause.) The ticket which has the support of the administration will not even have the advantage of having died an honorable death (laughter), because it was put in the field by those who-did nod intend to vote for it, and was only put before the people to deceive them to furnish a ticket for those few Democrats who object to the Chicago platform and are yet not ready to enter the Republiccn (Great applause.) Refused to Issue Thousand-Mile Tickets. Corning, N.

Oct. E. Holmes, of this city, has secured a judgment against the Delaware, Lackawanna Western Railroad Company for refusing to issue him one-thousand-mile books on demand at ticket offices, under the act of ISOtJ.
