NO BALM IN GILEAD For the Tottering Republi can Party If the Democrats Curry the Keystone State. Blame Sounds the Tocsin in Protec tion's Stronghold. The Astute Statesman Sees Certain Ruin Staring the G. O. P. in the Face. Associated Press Dispatches. Philadelphia, Nov. 1. — Secretary Blame arrived from Washington this afternoon. He received a great ovation later in the afternoon, as he appeared on the stage of the Academy of Music to address a Republican mass meeting. The spacious building was crowded to the doors. Hundreds were unable to gain admission. Mr. Blame, in his speech, referring to the campaign in Pennsylvania, said: "Do yon suppose the great free trade papers in New York and elsewhere throughout the union would care to fol low up Mr. Delameter on personal charges, if they did not have some great purpose beyond? If they can elect Mr. Pattison, it will be a prodigious gain to the cause of free trade and a loss to the cause of protection. Pennsylvania is not only the Keystone state of the union, but even in a greater sense is the keystone of the cause of protection. If she falls back now, when the tariff is on its severest trial, tho free traders think they see an easy road to the presidency in 1892. I want to remind you, especially you Republicans who differ from the great body of your party, that Ohio, Indiana, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and West Virginia are at present in Demo cratic hands. The decisive point of the struggle of 1892, may lie in Pennsylva nia and those states, and how any true friend of the Republican party, how any honest believer in the doctrines of pro tection can put to hazard the strong position of Pennsylvania at this critical time, I fail to discover. If Pennsylvania, under a pretext, can at this "time be drifted from her life-long allegiance to tho doctrines of protection, and shall elect a gentleman of whom I know nothing politically except that he is ranked with the free traders, there may be no balm in Gilead that can heal that wound. I speak strongly on this ques tion becauso I do not want to see this state misled by tlie free traders of New York city. The issue itself is coucealed under this mountain of abuse of the Republican candidate for gov ernor. There is undoubtedly in the Republican ranks some difference as to the character of tho new tariff bill. The duty of making it was remitted by the people to congress. The bill which passed was the result of a compromise, and I come with confidence to plead be fore the people of Pennsylvania not to differ on details." Mr. Blame spoke on the reciprocity amendment, and said, while ttie Demo crats thought he was tning to divide the Republican party on the doctrine of protection, he was natted on the back 1 and encouraged by them, but when the Republicans as one man incorporated reciprocity in the tariff bill, they did not want it at all, and declared it was unconstitutional. "If we had been balked by the cry of unconstitutionality every time it was made by the Demo crats, we should not have been able to defend the union when it was assaulted, issue greenbacks for its support, organ ize national banks, improve a river that did not have salt water in it, improve a harbor in an interior state, give free dom to a slave, and as the next point, should not have been able to secure reciprocity in our international trade. "By every attempt, in every form in which political action can be taken, the Democratic party expects to wound and destroy the doctrine of protection, and I have come to raise my voice in Pennsyl vania to ask the mother of protection" to see that her offspring shall not be strangled. If my voice can have any in fluence with a single man among those who are dissenting from the regular or ganization, I appeal to him not to think it will be all well next year, if tho party is defeated this year. "My friends, faction leads to defeat and defeat leads to mutual hostility and disorganization. If this fight is contin ued with a disastrous end, it will be a long time, I fear, before you will see the Republican party of Pennsylvania come forth in its original strength and its in vincible power." Mr. Blame said he had not come to sound any alarm upon the possibility of the loss to the Republicans of the house of representatives. He hoped they will not lose it, but from the time of John Quincy Adams to Aoraham Lincoln, with one exception, every administra tion lost its second congress. It is one of the natural reactions that comes be tween two presidential elections four years apart, and has been so frequent that it creates no disturbance on one side and no elation on the other. "What I deplore," said he, "is a popular vote in Pennsylvania that shall encourage New Jersey in her Democracy, lead the dissenting branches of that party in New York to close up and make their strength felt; that shall cripple Ohio in her effort to throw off Democratic power in the executive and ger rymandering in districts; throw back Delaware In her Republican progress; make Maryland a hopeless instead of a hopeful state, and that shall take from us the power to establish the Republican standard in West Virginia. Every one of those considerations confront you in the vote that a Republican casts in Pennsylvania on Tuesday next. The administration of President Harrison, so far as that one man controls it, has been a modest, conscientious, efficient administration. The country has been peaceful, industrious, prosperous, and gone forward in a quiet career, such as a Republican government should always exhibit. I agk you, in casting your ballot, to remember you can sustain the administration of an able, conscientious ahd independent president, or you can set the seal of doubt upon it. You can do much to perpetuate the Republican administra tion, or you can do much to destroy it. I have come here not with the purpose of eulogizing the administration, but to bear my testimony and give you warn ing that as Pennsylvania votes next Tuesday, the nation votes two years hence." Postmaster-General Wanamaker spoke briefly, and said he felt assured of a Republican victory next week. Mr. Blame then went to Union League club, where he held a reception. PLUCKY CORBETT- The San Francisco Pugilist Challenges Frank Slavin. San Francisco, Nov. 1. —An evening paper says James Corbett-of this city has issued a challenge to Frank Slavin, the Australian. Corbett in an inter view, stated that he objected to Slavin's reflections on American pugilists, and would meet Slavin before any club offer ing a suitable purse, and would wager $5000 on the side. He expressed a will ingness to meet the winner of the Jack son-Slavin fight. Coast Products in New York. Nbw York, Nov. I.—Columbia river salmon is reported offered here at slightly cut prices, with slow demand, as is usual at this season of the year. First-class California raisins are reported holding their own, and likely to continue so unless the supply is beyond the pres ent calculations. Apricots, peaches, plums, etc,, show no important improve ment in value, but are slightly im proved in sale. NO TIME FOR BARGAINS. DEMOCRATS MUST NOT TRADE WITH THE ENEMY When the Very Existence of the Party is at Stake—Governor Hill Wants None But True Democrats on Guard. New Haven, Conn., Nov. 1. —Gover- nor Hill of Mew York closed the' Demo cratic campaign in this state tonight. In the course of his speech he said: "This is no time for deals or bargains with the common enemy, when the very existence of our party is at stake. Put no Democrat on guard whose De moracy is not above suspicion. Those who encourage factional contests should go to the rear in times of public peril like these, when tho integrity of the republic is assailed. Corruption, colo nization, intimidation and false enumer ation are the tactics employed by the Republicans to bolster up their waning power, and crush out the hopes of hon est Democracy." The governor spoke of the importance of the municipal and county elections, saying: "Every local official ex ercises an influence. Democratic cities and counties should have Democratic officials, and none other. Their influence will tend to the spread and perpetuation of our principles, and it is lolly to shut our eyes to the impor tance of this question. The newly dis covered doctrine that there should be a non-partisan administration of local or municipal affairs, should not be accepted unless we are ready to disband our local political organizations and rely upon the courtesy of our opponents to "secure vic tories."

Reprisals Against America Gen erally Disfavored. The Kaiser Prosecutes An Editor for Misquoting Him. Bismarck Going Into ths Brewing Busi ness—Why He Did Not Attend the Moltke Fetes. Associated Press Dispatches. Berlin, Nov. I.—[Copyright, 1890, by the New York Associated Press, j" The report of the commission on the tariff question has not been published, but is known to disfavor both extensive revis ion of the Austro-German customs mat ters and combined action in the way of reprisal for the American and French tariffs. The new French tariff is a heavier blow than the McKinley law against the export trade of Austria, for while it does not affect Germany, ex portation from Austria to France ia al most entirely checked by the new tariff. Austrian newspapers are crying out against it. Protests, chiefly from the agricultural interests, are pouring into the chancellorie against any zollverein with Austria, and the modifi cations at present are likely to be very slight. The government does not mine near Austria's wishes for joint reprisals for the McKinley bill, official German inquiry having shown that such action is an impossibility. An Editor's Mistake. Emperor William has ordered the prosecution of Herr Palzwaldt, editor of the Potsdamer Zeitung, for publishing the remarks made by the emperor in proposing a toast to the Duke of Con naught, at a dinner of the Zeithen hus sars, of which the duke is an honorary colonel. The emperor called the duke an able German officer, worthy to lead the hussars in the presence of the enemy. The French papers took this up, and asked if the future com mander-in-chief of the English army ought thus to identify himself with the German army. The French ambassador to England is reported, today, to have conveyed to Salisbury an intiinatioa that the affair was an offense to the French government. Now the Kaiser denies the accuracy of the report of this toast, and prosecutes the editor. Bismarck Snubbed. A communication in the official press, signed by the cfref of the empe-o;.* civil cabinet, denying curtly that the kaiser took any step whatever to induce Bismarck to come to the Moltke fetes, suggests no lessening of the imperial animus. Bismarck received an invita tion from Oberhaus to attend as a mem ber of that body, but told his friends that while he would respond to an invita tion from the kaiser, he would not mingle with the imperial circle unless he was made welcome. Calumniators Ignored. An article in the Hamburger Nach richter, clearly from Bismarck, refers to the exultant howling of his enemies, and declares that calumnies will be re garded with contempt by all right-feel ing people. A Disapproved Visit to Rome. The Austrian official papers ignore the visit 9f the Austrian empress to Rome. She remained there two days under the name of Mrs. Norris, had a long audience with the pope, and spent the rest of the time in sight-seeing. Dr. Koch's Consumption Care. Prof. Leyden, who is in the confidence of Dr. Koch, considers the latter's dis covery of a consumption cure, of the highest value to humanity. Die Nation says it is a chemical substance, which is injected into the body, and even checks cases of advanced tuberculosis. ASIATIC ADVICES. Two Chinese Men-of-War Foundered. Cholera in .lapan. Etc. San Francisco, Nov. 1. —Advices from Yokohama, per the steamship Oceanic, which arrived tonight, state that a tele gram from Osaka, dated October 14th, says that two Chinese men-of-war, bound from Fuaan to Jinsen, foundered in a gale on October 9th, sixty miles from the latter port. Of the 600 persons lost on the Turkish man-of-war, Ertegroul, the bodies of 250 have been washed ashore. Since the outbreak of cholera in the empire, there have been 38, --425 cases and 25,911 deaths. The epidemic has almost subsided. Advices from Hong Kong state a plot to murder the king and royal family of Corea is reposted to have been dis covered, a brother of the king being im plicated. AN AMERICAN MODEL. Retaliatory Powers to Be Vested in the French Executive. Paris, Nov. I.—The new French tariff contains a striking feature heretofore unnoticed. This is a clause which gives the president and cabinet full power to retaliate to a great extent as they choose upon articles exported to France by any country which discriminates against French products, or in any way erects barriers against French trade. This is obviously modeled to meet the American meat inspection bill, and is intended as a French answer to that measure. The general tone of the French press continues hostile to the adoption of retaliatory measures against the United States. DID HIS DUTY. Herbert Ward Eulogizes Bartelot and Censures Stanley. London, Nov. I.— Herbert Ward, in a lecture here last night on his experi ences in Africa, with Stanley, said Jame son literally died of starvation and pri vation. Both Jameson and himself had to live on mouldy biscuitß and rice full of maggots, while the luxuries were reserved for the advance column telot, added Ward, in depriving himself and his associates of these luxuries, might have been quixotic, but be cer tainly did his duty. A New Railroad to l.os Angeles. San Francisco, Nov. I.—Surveys are being made for a new road from Dura barton Point to Los Angeletj, to be built and operated by the recently incorpo rated San Jose and Southern company. E. P. Webster of San Jose, one of the heaviest stockholders in the company, said today the surveying for the new line would require from'forty to Bixty days. He was not willing to say just what the route would be, as such knowledge might have some effect on the price of the land desirable for right of way. The company will lay a proposition before the people of Santa Clara and adjoining counties, intended to meet with general approval, and to arouse the residents to the necessity of a line such as proposed. Indian Commissioners Appointed. Washington, Nov. I.—The president has appointed D. W. Shryoch of Greens burg, Pa.; John W. Lewis, Louisville, Ky., and Henry C. Hunt, Asheville, N.

Richards, editor of the Telegram, at Clarksburg, published an article this week severely reflecting on the char acter of Hon. J. Basil, a prominent lawyer and leading Democratic politi cian.

Paris, Nov. 1. —A maniac, confined in the asylum at Limoges, stabbed to death two wardens today, and jumped from a window. He was badly injured. SAN PEDRO'S MUNICIPALITY. It is Suffering from a Severe Attack of Innocuous Desuetude. R. Hillyer yesterday applied to the superior court for a writ of mandate against the board of trustees of the city of San Pedro. The petition alleges that C. B. Brierly, one of the trustees, left on the 17th of June, and has not since returned, and that on the Bth of Sep tember Ed. M. Phelps, another trustee, died, leaving only three trustees. These members have refused to fill the vacan cies. _ On August Ist City Clerk C. Downing resigned, and the vacancy has not been filled up.

Startling Confessions of a Convict. Thorn and Shinn an Adept Pair of Rogues. Numerons California Stage Robberies Perpetrated By Them. Their Extensive Operations After Escap ing From San Quentin—Shinn Confesses All. Associated Press Dispatches. Sacramento, Cal., Nov. 1. —George Shinn, who with Charles Dorsey. alias Thorn, escaped from San Quentin three years ago, and was recently captured in Chicago by Detective J. B. Hume, has made a confession, which has simply paralyzed the authorities. Ever since they escaped Detective Hume has be lieved they were in this state, and were the perpetrators of the numerous stage robberies going on since then. When he went to Chicago he obtained evi dence that convinced him that their story that they had never been out of Chicago since theii arrival there a few months after their escape, waa untrue. Still the evidence was not sufficient for use. Last night Shinn was transferred from San Quentin to Folsom by a special arrangement made by Warden Aufl and Hume, and this afternoon the warden aud the detective interviewed him for three and a half hours. Shinn confessed that they returned to California early in 1889, and camped on the Ameri can river, three miles outside of this city. This was their rendez vous, to which they always returned after their raids. He admitted that on | the 31st of July, 1889, they stopped the stage from Milton to Sonota and robbed the passengers of $50. They blew open the Wells-Fargo strong box with giant powder, but found it empty. On the 10th of September, the same year, they stopped the stage between Quincy and Oroville and took a gold bar worth $800 from Wells-Fargo's box. In April, this year, they held up the Forest Hill stage, in Placer county, and robbed the pas sengers. Besides these, Shinn con fesses to burglaries, garrotings and robberies committed by himself and Dorsey which would lill a book. They returned to Chicago, May 30th, this year, and he says, between that time and tlie date of their capture, they committed something like twenty five robberies and burglaries in the state of Illinois. Their rendezvous has been Golden Eagle Mag Co. HARROWING ANNOUNCEMENT 1 PLANTED In a hotbed of competition. IRRIGATED By the galvanic fluid of progressive labor.

I.—The steamer Michigan arrived this morning, after a wild race for life, fasting seven hours. When about fifteen miles off Gray's harbor, Are was discovered in the port hole. All precautions were im mediately taken; the hatches were beaten down, and every air hole stopped up, and with j every pound of steam that could be car ried, and every stitch of canvas to the breeze, she ftVw down the coast. In re sponse to a distress signal, when she crossed the bar, the observer at Fort Canby telegraphed to this city, and the tug Wallawa started to her assistance, but fortunately she succeeded in getting in safely. She is now lying partly on the mud at the Union Pacific dock, with fire engines alongside. S6on after high water an effort will be made to scuttle her. No attempt has been made to definitely locate the fire, and it n be allowed to smolder until she cai scuttled. The fire is supposed to have originated in a lot of lime in the foi hold.
