He settled first in New Haven, but in 18.54 came to Chicago. where he became a naturalized citizen. His home was in the old Tenth Ward, and In 1857 he was elected to represent that district in the City Council. Ward boundaries changed; the old Tenth Ward became the Bloody Ninth." and later the plain Eighth. But through it all John Comiskey represented the people of that section.

hn Henry Gear will succeed himself as United States Senator from Iowa. He was Sivn the unanimous nomination by the lican caucus tonight Senator Cheshire had withdrawn the name of Mr. Cummins from the consideration of the C111- CUS. Senator Cheshire's speech not exactly a plea fir the olive branch. He declared that defeat had co-me to Cummins because the successful candidate had the strongest political organization ever put in Iowa," led by men who were magicians In the art of politics." Further on he declared, It is better to deserve success than to win It." As a climax, the speaker cried: A.

B. Cummins' political sun has not set: rather, I believe, it has not yet reached its zenith, and when it does the State of Iowa will place 'upon his brow the laurel for which he has struggled for the at six months!" The joint caticus4 was called to order at o'clock by Senator Blanchard. Senator Junkin of Montgomery was made chairman of the caucus and Representative Sweet of Bremer secretary. Withdrawal of Cummins. Senator Mullan moved that there be no nominating speeches, and then Senator Cheshire of Polk, ore of Mr.

Cummins' managers, addressed the caucus. saying: propose to withdraw the name of Albert 13. Cummins and to state that it will not be presented to this caucus. I withdraw his name simply because the events I have mentioned foreshadow the fact that he cannot In this Joint caucus ac-, quire the goal. We know, though, as do our opponents.

that he came close to winning. Many who have opposed him have come to his rooms and taken him by the hand. and as they did so have said to themselves that he deserved to succeed. though on account of Instructions or the demands of their coneituenc3r they could not support him."

A. Furtell. an actor, shot and killed his wife in their room at the residence of Michael Fewer. 143 West Madison street, yesterday afternoon. He then shot himself and died several hours later in the County Hospital.

The murder and suicide are a mystery. The man made every effort to conceal his identity, and the police are unable to find a motive. They think it probable that the man was demented. Nora Garrity, a servant, went to the room at 4 o'clock to put it in order. As she entered she saw the bed was covered with blood.

Without further investigation she notified the police of the Desplaines Streeg Station and Lieutenant Howard, Akecompanied by several policemen, went to the house. The police found the man and woman, dressed in their night clothes, lying on the bed. Two bullets had struck the woman, one entering the brain at the left temple. She had been dead apparently for several hours. The man had tired a bullet into his brain, but he was alive and was removed to the County Hoepital, where he died at 1030 O'clock last night, without having regained consciousness.

Lieutenant Toward at once sought the Identity of the man and woman. They had good wearing apparel. Numerous photographs were found. and both had gold watches. A card with the following inscription was found in one of the pockets of the man's clothes: Compliments of the Coon Hollow Company.

A merry Christmas. JACK FCRTELL. This card, the markings on the baggage, and. the evidenmy of travel' lead Lieutenant Howard to believe the two were theatrical people. A bank book showing that the owner had $1.250 on deposit in the Exchange Bank was found in the man's clothing.

His name, however, had been removed from the book, as well as the location of the bank. The man's linen was marked J. and J. A. The man and woman went to Mrs.

Fewer's house on Saturday. He said they' had no money. but would leave their baggage as security. They talked to nobody, and while he acted strangely at times he was in a pleasant humor most of the time. On Sunday he was seen in his room, talking and laughing, and appearing in good spirits.

Congressman Reeves and his campaign managers are considering making a fight in Cctek County. He claims that a number of delegates who would support him for the Republican nomination for Governor can be eleited here. Ills plan would be to hold meetings in every ward. These foUr rooms." said the Congressman at hie headquarters at the Grand Pacific yesterday, have been crowded watt visitors. Fully one-half of them were Chicago men.

write offered me their support." Regarding the statements said to have been made by William Lorimer in Washington, Mr. Reeves said: Mr. Lorimer manifests the same assurance of the ability of himself and two or three others to dominate the Republican party in Cook Cuunty that was shown at Springfield. Scores of Cook Republicans have expressed their dissatisfaction with Lorimer and his immediate friends and have assured me they will not ellOW any coterie of men to dictate their action on the nominations for -State officers. I have no doubt I shall receive generous support from the Republicans of Cook County." Mr.

Reeves will canvass the local situation before leaving for Washington. with a view to starting a vigorous contest for delegates. His visitors from outside Chicago told him he would carry a majority of the northern counties, and that a Reeves movement in Chicago would strengthen his rural prospects. Judge Hanecy opened his campaign headquarters at the Great Northern Hotel. He has three rooms on the .1 floor, overlooking Jackson boulevard.

During the afternoon they were thronged with callers. A delegation from Rockford assured the Judge that he will be given a warm reception there nex-t Friday. D. J. Hogan told him he made a favorable impression On the Republicans of Egypt last week.

James Paddock of Springfield was to have taken charge of his campaign, but informed the Judge that. it would be impoesible for him to do so now. Louis Behan of the Third Ward has been placed in control of the headquarters. There will be a Mass-meeting of Thirty-fourth Ward Republicans at Grand Crossing Turner Hall tonight to indorse the candidacy of Judge Hanecy. The Judge and Congressman Reeves will be entertained aL a reception given for them by the Hamilton club.

Talk of a Removal. Talk of removing the headquarters of the Democratic National coffimittee from Chicago has been revived because of the refusal of Mayor Harrison to attend the Cook luncheon on Sunday and meet ex-Governor Altgeid. Buffalo and St. Louis are candidates, and it is understood the latter is a favorite. But there is no likelihood of any chatage before the national convention.

Predictions are made that if the Illinois Democrats do not send Mr. Altgeld to the convention as a delegate at large he, will be re- garded as out of politics. At its meeting on Saturday night the Chicago Platform Democracy adopted resolutions declaring that the regular Democratic organization of Cook County is controlled by the patronage of the Mayor's office, and that the Mayor is controlled by the most dangerous enemies of the Chicago platform." A Committee of Seventeen was created to organize the Democrats of Cook County. William C. Malley, appointed on Saturday by Judge Carter to the place made vacant by the death of Hope Reed Cody, President of the Board of Election Commissioners, took the oath of office and filed his bond of $10,000 in the County Court.

His term will expire on Nov. 9, 1902. The bond is signed by Commissioner Malley, William A. Coleman, and William J. Malley.

During the afternoon the Board- of Election Commissioners reorganized and Mr. Malley was elected President. smatisammentamonornimal In- 31114r i I ..1. p. -I 4 1.0tIS D.

Four men were named as in this groupComiskey, Daniel O'Hara, Mark Sheridan, and James w. Sheahan. In 1876 Mr. Comiskey was clerk for the Board of County Commissioners. General Hermann Lieb was then County Clerk.

AL ATWOOD "ATWOOD BUILDING," Northwest corner Madison and Clark atA Northwest corner Madison and Clark auk Anti-imperialism as a new national issue In Democratic politics holds a prominent place in W. ii. Harvey's forthcoming campaign book, Coin on Money. Trusts, and Imperialism." Combines and Pi to 1 come in for ample attentien, but the reader is impressed with the emphatic treatment of the present administration's conduct of the war in the Philippines and of the acts of president McKinley, The work is written in the style of Coin's Financial School," which attracted attention In Thiel. It contains alleged lectures delivered in the Art Institute, Chicago, to an alleged school of bankers, editors, lawyers, farmers, politicians, and laboting men.

Coin," referred to as the little statesman," is pictured as a young man, whereas four years ago he was only a small boy. Discussion of Imperialism. Taking up the question of imperialism. Mr. Harvey puts these words in Coin's" mouth: Congress declared war against Spain, and later at Paris et treaty of peace was signed.

Then a second war began. The first war was declared by Congress. the second was declared by the President. The first war was against a monarchy. the second- was against a republic.

The first involved not to exceed 20.000 soldiers in action and cost $250,000 a day; the second war has involved 50,000 soldiers in action and is costing $300,000 a day. The -first war was constitutional and the second war is unconstitutional. It shows that power is being arbitrarily concentrated in the hands of the President. and that when the time comes to strike they will ery to tear the constitution to shreds. This Statement in the book moves a man by the name of Governor from Iowa," to etclaIni: You are a traitor or you would not use such language toward the President The war Is not unconstitutional.

The President has a right to quell and suppress a rebellion. The Filipinos are rebels. ant The President does not wait for an teceof Congrees te suppress rebels! It is hia duty, Fir. to act without such authority! This is recognized as a parody on the denunclatton of utterances at the anti-trust eonventon, at St. Louis, last fall, by Governor Shaw of Iowa-To the Governor's retort, Coin replies: A rebel is one who defies the authority of his country.

One, to be a rebel, must be either a native or a naturalized citizen. The Filipinos are neither natives nor naturalized citizens of the United States. No one has the right to class them as rebels. The President claimed they were citizens by purchase from Spain. A truly republican President or Congress would not recogitze such a purchase.

Republics are founded on the principle that all just governments derive their power from the consent of the governed." It is only monarchies that buy and sell people. A man is not a traitor who defends the right of self-government. I arraign the President for treason in waging a war without that war having been first declared by Congress. as required by the constitution! I arraign him for treason for a secret alliance with England against repulilics struggling for liberty! I arraign the majority in Con-green as the willing puppets of the evil influence that prompts the President! Charges Class Legislation. Coin prefaces his chapter on Im7 perialism with an argument to show that the demands for expansion grow out of class legislation.

lie says the war with Spain over Cuba furnished the opportunity this class wanted to get a commercial foothold in the Orient. He relates briefly the history of the conflict in Cuba and Manila Bay, and says: The President is still keeping the army in Cuba and is protecting all the special privileges granted by Spain to her money lenders and other citizens in that island. The evil Influence back of the President has since obtained a majority of the members of the Senate and has retained a maloritv of the Lower House. The evil influence now has poseession of the President and both Houses of Congress. and it is questionable whether they intend to respect the guarantee of independence made to the Cuban people.

The spirit of conquest and a desire for a standing army, it is thought. will cause them to goad the Cubans into taking up arms and again contending for liberty. Reference is made to the fruitless Visit to Washington of Agoncillo, the representative of Aguinaldo, and the writer adds: If Mr. Lincoln had been President we know how Aronctilo would have been received. Mr.

Lincoln would have answered him. saying: Go to the telegraph office and cable Aguinaido that the great republic of the Western world sends greeting to the young republic of the Orient and will protect it from the other nations of the world." Intention. Is Annexation." A Mr. Easley asked: Is it not a fact that the Tagals are in the minority in Luzon Island. and that the President Is seeking to suppress them in order to ascertain the wishes of all their people?" If the President has so intended." replied Coin, he would have said so.

He has not announced that as his intention. Had he so Intended he would have received Agoncillo. Don't you think so? He has. however. said that his intention is annexation.

He has said that wherever the flag goes up it shall not come down." M. F. Dunlap of Jacksonville asks: Many of the people are favorable to the policy of the President b2cause it will. they believe. extend the commerce and trade of the United States.

They call it expansion and believe it will improve business. I would like to know for their information how you answer the proposition." Coin replies: If it is lawful for the nation to spend money in war for expansion of commerce abroad. it is lawful for the nation to spend money in a war of expansion at home." Will it pay to try to subjugate foreign people? Hit from that standpoint!" exclaimed Captain Parkhurst of South Omaha. Neb. No." was the reply.

It does net pay. All honor to the Dutch of south Africa who have struck the blow that is the beginning of the end of the leritishEmpire!" On the Money Question. A. C. BARTLETT MADE PRESIDENT Representative Scott of Ida County then moved that the nomination or Gear be made by acclamation.

This was carried unanimously. On motion of Representative Carr of Polk a committee of three was appointed to notify Senator Gear of his nomination. This committee consisted of Representatives Carr and Dows and Senator Blanchard. During the absence of the committee B. Murphy of Vinton was nominated for State Printer and Howard Tedford of Mount Ayr for State binder.

When Senator Gear entered the hall, escorted by the committee. the cheers were hearty and continued until be stood by the Speaker's desk. Chairman Junkin presented him to the caucus with the words: Gentlemen of the caucus: There is no need for me to Introduce to you a man whose name and face are known throughout Iowa. Gentlemen, I present to you the nominee of this traucus, Senator John H. Gear." Speech by Senator Gear.

Senator Gear. amid renewed applause. said: Words almost fall me to express my thanks for this great honor that you have conferred me. I want also to thank the people of the great State of Iowa. I came to Iowa when the State had only 20.000 peoplenow It has nearly :1.000.000.

and it is a great honor to represent such a State. There are many important questions before Congress. Two of the most important are the currency question and the disposal of the Philippines. The country Is anxious that the Senate shall pass the bill which the House has already passed. a bill to make every dollar as good as every other dollar.

As to the Philippines. I dn not believe that any one will ever be so presumptuous as to attempt to haul down the flag raised by the sailors with Dewey and the soldiers with Otis. I am glad to be able to say that I shall vote with the administration on these matters." In conclusion Senator Gear thanked Mr. Cummins for the manly tight he had made and the manner in which he had acknowledged defeat. Corporation of the Chicago Home for the Friendless Holds Its Annual Meeting.

Ile-simply brings the money question down to date with arguments tending to show that establishment of the gold standard means trusts and a monarchy. He attacks Secretary Gage and Controller Dawes as money dealers." Trusts and the Remedy. Of trusts, Mr. Harvey gives this as the cause for them: The gradual bankruptcy of the people, under falling prices. Is causing our factories and business institutions and lands to pass into the ownership of the creditor classesthe money-lenders.

The passing of the property of the many to the few thus gradually went on. When the business and industries belonged ta the millions competition regulated prices and combinations were tin-possible and not thought of. The nearer the ownership came to be reduced to a few the more possible became meetings of these men. to make agreements for controlling trade and fixing prices that they would all agree to charge for the articles produced. Here is the remedy he suggests: First bring prosperity by establishing a sound, healthy 'financial system A fnancial system in the interest of mankind.

The is to first do this. and kill off the financial trust that has bred and born and caused all the other trusts. The money trust is interested in increasing the price of moneyits product.

Judicial ruling on a point as yet untouched bf precedent Is asked in a suit brought yesterday in the Circuit Court to decide whether shippers (if merchandise. not actual owners of the goods. but custodians of several owners joined in shipping in carload lots, are entitled to the same reduced rates of shipment as a single owner who ships a carload of merchandise. The complainants, G. W.

Sheldon custom-house brokers, 303 and 305 Dearborn street, maintain that as the custodians of the property of several patrons who intrust their goods for export to them they are entitled to the same rate of freight on carloads of merchandise as though they were the actual owners of the various lots which go to make up the carloads of merchandize shipped by them. The bill is directed against the Wabash railroad company, the Lehigh Valley railroad company, and the Lehigh and Wabash Dispatch. an association having charge of the freight business of the two roads. Judge Tuthill issued a temporary injunction restraining the defendants from refusing to carry the freight Of the exporters till the final adjudication of the suit. In support of the contention of the bill It Is alleged that the Interstate Commerce commission has held that it was not unjust to allow shippers in carload lots a reduction on the freights charged for shipments in less than carload lots.

and also intimated. and practically decided. that this reduction should obtain not only where the contents of a carload were shipped by one owner, but where a number of shippers combined their product to make a full carload. The specific cause of the filing of the bill was the refusal of the railroad to accept and classify at carload rates a car of merchandise tendered by the exporters last Friday. WILL OF J.
