London Is Preparing For a Great Demonstration On the Occasion of the Return of Troops From Africa. WANTS 3I0NEY BACK. Lady Beresford Sues the Date of .Marlborough For Cash She Expended on Blenheim Palace. Snubbed by ew Duehess She Thus Seeks Revenge. London, Oct. 27. The preparations here to welcome on their return to Eng land from South Africa the few hun dred men nho constitute the City Im perial volunteers have entirely monopo lized England's attention this week, ban ishing from notice matters of interna tional import. Although this about half a regiment of young Londoners, brokers, clerks and others, has not performed any very heroic feats, thousands of peo ple are pouring into London in order to witness their home-coming, and win dows along the line of march have been Bold at prices almost equal to those de manded at the time of the jubilee pro cession. In addition, decorations and illuminations costing many thousands of pounds have beer, prepared, and busi ness and even traffic will be suspended practically the whole day when they ar rive, and Monday night wiil doubtless witness a repetition of the Mafeking carnival. It is pointed out that the in tense patriotism which this is supposed to signify would be better appreciated were the returning soldiers more repre sentative of the forces in the held, or if th-r wrre not hundreds of colonial vol unteers who have fought in South Af rica walking the streets of London un honored, unnoticed and uncared for. This circumstance has caused some bit ter reflections to be cast on the mother country by the colonial sections in Lon don, the Justice of which has been ac knowledged by several liberal-minded organs, while the regular army men are not too pleased that the "cream of pub lic enthusiasm' over the return of the troops should be secured by a small body of volunteers, which it is freely as serted cannot compare wiLh seeraj of the regular tinits. The rext big celebration "will probably occur Monday, November 10, when Gen eral EuHer is due at Southampton. He w-ill receive the freedom of several cities and will doubtless have a triumphant progress, though the reception which wiii be accorded to Lord Roberts will, of course, eclipse the celebration which w-ill attend Bulier's return to England. Lord Roberts is expected in December, and the same month a representative of the Associated Press learns another dis tinguished Britisher. Cecil Rhodes, will return from South Africa. In pursuance of his determination to adopt a self obliterating policy until the war is en tirely over, it is likely that Mr. Rhodes' tome-coming will be quieter than that of the most insignificant private of the City Imperial volunteers. In the midst of the preparations for celebrating the return of the victorious soldiers it is not astonishing that the people generally fail to realize how ex tremely costly and long drawn out has been the struggle in South Africa. Sta tistics carefully prepared up to date by one of the largest insurance companies ehow that proportionately more British ers were killed than the Germans lest in the war with France of 1S70-'71, w hile the proportion of those who succumbed to disease was three times as great. Among the rank and file the Germans had 0 per cnt. more men killed, but from disease Great Britain suffered 63 per cent, heavier than the Germans. This increase is of such magnitude that even the climatic differences fail to ac count for it. It is asserted that had Great Britain put in the field as many troops as Germany did against France and maintained proportionate casual ties her mortality would have reached 9 369 men. It is asserted that Major Gooii Adams. the British commissioner in Bechuanaland wili be made governor of the Orange River colony. Gen. Buller Is slated to resume command of Alder shot. Gen. Kitchener, it is said, will temporarily succeed Ivrd Roberts in command of the troops in South Africa, but will, it is further asserted be even tually rvplaced by Major General Lyttle ton and Kitchener will then te likely to come home and assume the duties of adjutant general. Lady William Beresford (f-irmrly Lillian, Duchess of Marlborough! has brought action against the young Duke of Marlborough to recover the money which she spent in improving Blenheim palace during the lifetime of the last cuke. The matter came up originally when the present duke succeeded to ir e title, but owing to the friendly relations exis-ing between the duke and his step mother, it was temporarily arranged. Fince the duke's marriage to Consueio Vanderbiit. it is reported an estrange ment has gruwn up between Lady Beresford and her stepson. On mcr; than one occasion, it is said the young American duchess snubbed her country woman iLaiy Beresford was formerly Sirs. Louis Hammersiey of New York) until the latter determined she could not submit to such treatment anv longer and she now asks the law to compel her stepson to return the amount she spent on Blenheim. Another aristocratic- lawsuit, which will shortly be heard in camera is the application of the Marchioness of An glesey, to have her marriage to the mar quis, who is head of the Paget family declared null. They only became man and wife in 159S. but it was strictly a iiarriage of convenience between cous ins arranged for the sake of inheritin property which otherwise.could not have teen touched by either of them. They both agreed to live their own lives. Ap parent!!', this extraordinary arrange ment did not work well in more wavs than one. It is asserted that the marauts agreed to give his wife 3,000 the first year and i6.0"0 the second year and so on till the allowance reached 10.000 a year. However, the alleged allowance was stopped almost immediately. Lady Ar.glesey, who describes herself ""other wise Chetv.-ynd," her maiden name, now wishes to get out of the bargain and it is rumored, if successful she wili marry CeuoC Herman von Hatzfeidt.

Governor Eoose velt was up early today at the residence of Mrs. Douglas Robinson, his sister, in Madison avenue- Having taken break fast the governor and Mrs. Roosevelt en tered a carriage at 8:20 and escorted by a platoon of 20 mounted policemen drove to the Erie railroad ferry. In Jersey City the governor entered his special car to travel toward Binghamton, at which city he is scheduled to arrive at 6:40 p. m. On the way stops will be made and short speeches delivered at Suffern, Hiil Brook, Middletown, Port Jervis, Shohola, Lackawaxen, Cochocton. Cali coon, Long Eddy, Deposit, Susquehanna, and Great Bend. At the Erie ferry In New Tork and the railway station in Jersey City Gov ernor Roosevelt was cheered by good, sized crowds which had assembled to see him. ROOSEVELT'S BIRTHDAY. Suffern, N. Y., Oct. 27. Governor Roosevelt was in especially high spirits today, which fact he attributed to his satisfaction with the demonstration in New York last night and the occurrence of hi3 forty-third birthday. Coming thither, when passing through Passaic, the governor was cheered by a large party of workmen employed in an iron foundry. One of the men displayed a large piece of brown paper on which was inscribed in large black letters "Teddy is O. K." At Paterson also there was a large assembly of workmen, who cheered the governor. At Suffern the governor spoke briefly from the platform of his car. He said: "I appreciate you, the voters of the future, coming here (referring to a little company of boys with caps and cam paign capes on and American flags in their hands), and you guard the flag. You guard it because you honor it- Now let us of the older generation see to it that it is honored. Hillburn. N. Y., Oct. 27. Governor Roosevelt in going to the platform from which he was to speak at this place passed the ranks of a campaign club garbed like sailors, and said: In the first place I notice the com pany which receives me has Uncle Sam's uniform on it. We are not afraid of Uncle Sam's uniform not at all. The Malay bandits and Chinese boxers are afraid of it. but we are not. Mr. Bryan says you haven't your share of pros perity. The country as a whole cer tainly has prospered. In 1S63 none of us were prosperous. Today there is a high average of" prosperity, and your new iron works here is proof of it." ANSWERS FOR BRYAN. Middietown, N. Y-, Oct. 27. Governor Roosevelt spoke here in the opera house to an audience which completely filled NO MORE USE 4 5? j r Captain "I may as we!! lay up the old packet if the seats and the standing -room, The governor said in part : "I have hitherto asked Mr. Bryan In vain to answer whether If elected he will pay the outstanding obligations in gold or In silver; that is, whether it is the secretary of the treasury or the credit ors who have the right to choose the coin in which to be paid. Mr. Bryan having failed to answer -I will now change the form of my question. On February 14, 1S95, in the house of rep resentatives, on the question of the gold bond resolution Mr. Bryan spoke in part as follows: I condense) We insist that outstanding bonds are payable in gold or silver, and that the United States has the right to choose the coin. The debtor always has the choice of the coin where only one coin is mentioned. The secretary of the treasury has the legal right to redeem greenbacks and treasury notes in silver and thus protect the peo ple from the gold hoarders and gold ex porters. We, should compel President Cleveland to protect the government by redeeming in silver when that is more convenient. We believe that greenbacks and treasury notes are redeemable in either gold or silver at the option of the government.' "In speeches in the house of represen tatives on December 22, 1S94. Mr. Bryan said: 'The members of this congress might just as well meet this question. The present secretary of the treasury (Mr. Carlisle) has construed the law to mean that the option really applies to the note holder, and the same principle has been applied to the greenbacks. I find the English language hardly ade quate to express my fellings on that subject. There is rot a lawyer that would apply such a doctrine in anything except finance. I am in favor (of the construction) that the government has the option and can exercise it to pay in silver when it wants to. And if we have it why not exercise it and not turn over our finances to the control of those who conspire to defeat the purposes of the government.' N "I now. ask Mr. Bryan whether his views are still the same as they were when eh made those two speeches, and, if so, why he refuses to meet the ques tion now when he then said that con gress ought to meet it?" TO kIuTloObet.' Plot to Assassinate French President Discovered. Lyons, Oct. 27. The Nouveliste de Lyon says a plot to assassinate Presi dent Loubet has been discovered. It appears that a working electrician named Couterier burglariously entered the electric company's premises at Nimes, stealing 2,500 francs. He was tracked to Orange, near Lyons, where he was arrested. Documents found on his person revealed, the paper says, an anarchist conspiracy to assassinate President Loubet on his coming visit to Lyons to unveil a monument erected to the memory of President Carnot. Couterier is said to have committed the burglary in order to obtain funds to carry out his project. He has, it is added, confessed to the police who are now tracking his accomplices and watching anarchists in order to prevent any attempt to carry out the scheme. LARGEST IN THE WORLD Gold Fund In U.

THE CITY TURNED OUT. Business of All Kinds Suspended For the Day. Parade is Reviewed by Number of Republican Leaders. Chicago, Oct. 27. Business was gen erally suspended in Chicago today and the city gave itself up to the "prosper ity" parade. The prediction of pleasant weather was amply fulfilled, the bright ly shining sun and the soft and balmy atmosphere, making an Ideal autumnal day. Every industry of the city was represented in the floats that Inter spersed the procession, and each march er wore a badge on which are the words "McKinley was right' Among those occupying the reviewing stand were United States Senator Han Da, chairman of the Republican commit tee; Vice Chirman Henry C. Payne, na tional committeemen, Stewart, New and Kerens and United States Senators Cul lom and Mason of Illinois. The parade started at 10 o'clock. All along the route the business houses and office buildings were profusely decorated with the na tional colors and streamers bearing the legends: 'McKinley was right," "Sound money and prosperity," and kindred inscrip tions, together with representations of the "Full dinner paiL" At the head of the parade walked two elephants bearing banners Inscribed: "G. O. P. The real thing." Behind the two pachyderms followed a donkey be decked with bells and a clownish cap upon its head. Farther back in the col umn was a stuffed elephant drawn by horses. This elephant lead the advance of the Hamilton club, of Chicago, whica escorted the Americus club of Pittsburg. Another large delegation was the Keno sha (Wis.) Republican Marching club, of 700 members. In the line of parade were regiments of men in uniform, drawn from sec res of. business houses which together with the banks, stock exchange, and board of trade had closed for the occasion. These marchers carried "full dinner pails" and banners. The workmen's Republican clubs conspicuous among which were several representing the large packing houses of the stockyards made a notable showing as did the uniformed division of the Cook County Republican legion attired in Khaki under the leadership of Congressman William Lorimer.Through out the parade the industrial features were unique. A notable section was the Republican students league comprising delegations from the various education al institutions of Chicago. The numerical strength of the parade was variously estimated, but was appar ently greater than the "Sound Money" parade given on Chicago day, October 9. 1S96, which was regarded then as a record breaker. Despite the throng and the fact that a RIVER PACKET. Chicago Xews. nobody's going my way i I I ( j-. s -t t -J V' ; River j counter demonstration had been planned for tonight by the Democrats there was no show of disturbance. DOESN'T KNOW A TRUST Senator Ilanna Says Bryan Is Ignorant on That Subject. Chicago, Oct. 27. The Auditorium was filled last night with an immense audi ence brought together to hear Senators Hanna, of Ohio, and Burrows, of Michi gan, under the auspices of the Republi can Railroad employes of Chicago. The audience was to a large extent composed of railroad men and the chairman of the meeting was Lot Brown, agent of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railway. Unbounded enthusiasm was manifested throughout, the speeches and a large crowd unable to find room in the Audi torium was entertained by local ora tors on the lake front. An elaborate display of fireworks followed the close of the meetings. After making a trief speech In the open air. Senator Hanna entered the Auditorium cedi" the close of Mr. Bur rows' address. He was given a gener ous round of applause and when he rose to speak the audience cheered for sever al moments. "This is the greatest object lepson In coercion," said Senator Hanna. "that I ever have seen. I am in sympathy with the men gathered here even if they are here under orders, as has been charged by the opposition. But I think the only coercion they have had is the coercion of their own consciences. "I saw the president and told him about this meeting tonight, and he sends greeting to the loyal railway men of Il linois. Now imperialism and other col lateral issues in this campaign are only designed to bewilder and mislead the voters.' It is an insult to the intelligence of the people to think that they do not know and understand the questions which affect them so directly as those which are the paramount issues In this campaign. In sheer desperation Bryan has abandoned real issues and descend ed to the low plane of a demogegue and is making his appeal on the issue of class against class. That is an admis sion of defeat. . "If the business men thought there was a possibility of Bryan being elected you would see such a paralysis of busi ness that has never been known. "As to the question cf trusts." he on tlnued, "Bryan does not know what a trust is and has advanced no arguments as to the proper way to suppress them. Bryan claims that evtry manufacturing institution in the United States that controls large interests is a trust. He says his remedy would be to put upon the free list every product of every in dustry in a trust, if he had the power to do this, except in the case of the Ice trust and the cotton bale trust. If that was done, every branch of manufactur ing in the United States would be para lyzed. The result would be no revenue to the government and therefore direct taxation would be the only method cf raising the expensea of the govern ment." WASHBURN IN DENVER. Denver Sports Nervous About the Topeka Football Team. Denver, Colo., Oct. 27. Keen Interest is being manifested in the football game to be played between Washburn col lege of Topeka and the Denver Ath letic club at Broadway park this after noon. The Washburn team arrived yes terday noon and have 'been resting quietly at their hotel, getting over the effects of their ride. The day dawned with only a few clouds in the sky and gives promise of clearing up by the time the game is called. Not very much betting has been in dulged in as yet, the Denver people not being able to get any kind of a line on the Washburn players. Early in the w eek a Topeka man placed a bet of $1W to t.'OO on Washburn, but after that the D. A. C. men became suspicious and re duced the odds. It is not likely that much of the Topeka money will be placed before this afternoon at the park, when the betting will probably be at even money. The pool rooms have been making the odds all the way from & to 3 on Washburn. There are quite a number of enthusi astic Washburn rooters here to encour age the team and are backing them to The extent of (2.000 or tr).0v0. The game will be called at 3:30, west ern time, and should be over by 6:30 To peka time. TOPEKA MONET TO RET. A delegation of Elks left Friday night for Denver and took with them J20 to place on the Washburn-Denver Athletic club football game this afternoon. Aweek ago the D. A. C. backers offer ed two to one on their team and a To peka man took the short en 1 of it to the extent of J-ff'O. The betting then changed and the Denver people would ofTr only even money and $4"0 more wa covered by Topeka people. Wherthe Washburn team arrived In Denver the odds went to five to three on Washpurn, and a tele gram received at night Just before the Topeka delegation left announced that the odds were three to one on Wash burn. Jhn McCarty has been-trying to place Washburn money and he was wired last night to make be's at any odds. The Washburn team will demand that Charles Mills of Denver, who was captain of the Yale team for several years, be one of the officials to change at the halves. Mills is recognizor as an authority on football and a man whose decisions will be just. The members of the party that left last night wer F. K. Nipps, William Radcliff. "pick" Smith, Will Anderson. "Doc" Goodwin, Kur'z KWlam, J. H. Godard. J. S. Coe, W. W. Webb and O. D. Wolf. WORSE THAN REPORTED Lord Roberts Sends Amended Story of Recent Fighting. London, Oct. 27. A dispatch received at the war office from Lord Roberts, dated Pretoria, Friday, October 26. re ferring to the fighting of General Bar ton's column with General DeWet's forcces October 23, says: "The British losses were heavier than at first reported. An additional officer and 12 men were killed and three officers and 25 men were wounded. The Boers left 24 dead and 13 wounded on the field and 26 Boer's were made prisoners. Three Boers who hold up their hands in token of surrender and fired on the British were court martialed. convicted and sentenced to death. I have con firmed the sentence." The dispatch also refers to minor affairs in which the troops of General Kitchener and General Methuen were engaged, and a serious incident between Sprir.gfontein and Philippol's, Orarge River colony, where 50 cavalrymen were ambushed and captured by the Boers, only seven of the party escaping.
