Iowa to the Front.
[From the New York World.]
Senator Doliiver stirred the dry boneB
ot the fossils and startled the Republi
can BourboDs in the Senate yesterday
by an eloquently Indignant demand for
reciprocity. He declared that "it Is a
reproach to the United States that not
one Blngle line of the wisdom ot Mr.
Blame remains upon the statute-books
of our country and that not one step has
been taken by the Government to fulfil
the last public exproBsion of the pur
poses of Wm McKimey." This is an
echo of the Iowa Convention that ought
to penetrate the White House.
Commencing to Harvest Their Whirl
wind.
Just at present the republicans have
the trusts on their hands. Until a short
time ago, Senator Aldricb and his trust
protecting colleagues bad not the re
motestldeaof permitting the present
congress to do more than talk about
the trusts. But the president disarrang
ed these plans somewbat, by annonnc
lag that there would be trust legislation
at this session or there would be an ex
tra session. At first the representatives
ofthetruBts thought that they could
induce the president to reconsider bis
announcement, by assuring blm that an
extra session of congreBS to pass legis
,-r
latlon inimical to tbe trusts would pre
vent his nomination next year. The
president Is reported to have replied,
by saying that without effective trust
legislation he did not desire the nom
ination next year that without snch
legislation the republican party would
be overwhelmed at the next national
election. What tbe outcome will be
no one can say. The two factions of
the republican party are going sideways
in opposite directions.
I
Mark Hanna Bowed tbe wind, by col
lecting millions from the trusts for the
purchase of an election. His party
has now commenced to reap tbe whirl

New York- 10.—Hailed with
cheers from a vast crowd that thronged
the pier of the American line, and sa
luted as she came to her pier by a bed
lum of whistles, the steamship St
Louis, six days overdue, was hauled in
to her berth Saturday. Her detention
was in main attributable to the fact
that the defective condition of her
boilers only admitted of maintaining
a very low rate of speed. The voyage
from Cherbourg to the Sandy Hook
lightship consumed 13 days, 5 hours
and 20 minutes, which was 0 days, 15
hours and 25 minutes behind the ship's
best record.

came known among the passengers
much alarm and indignation were ex
pressed, and meetings were held in the
saloon and in the second cabin at
which resolutions were adopted se
verely censuring the company for per
mitting passengers to embark on a
steamer in the crippled -condition in
which the St. Louis proved to be. To
wards the end of the voyage the dis
comfort of the passengers was ma
terially Increased by a scarcity of pro
visions and of water for wushing pur
poses.

BOY'S PRANK IS FATAL:
Changes a Danger Signal Which Had
Been Set by a Tower Man
ut Baltimore.
Cumberland, Md., Jan. 17.—Through
the alleged interference of a messen
ger boy a wreck was caused on tho
Baltimore and Ohio railroad cast of
Cumberland early in the.morning, In
which four employes of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad were killed and
three injured. Three of the men
killed lived in Baltimore and the fourth
was a resident of Cumberland. The
killed are: W. T. Simms, engineer
W. J. Moran, fireman II. D. Sneer
inger, fireman John Butler, engineer.
Those injured: T. J. ITenrix, conduc
tor, Baltimore, bruised about the body
W. N. Christopher, engineer, Balti
more, bruised Kinney, conductor,
Cumberland.
It is charged that a messenger boy
named Turner, who was in the block
tower when No. 10 came along and
hearing the engineer's whistle for clear
tracks pulled a lever giving him a
clear signal. Tho operator had, it is
explained, previously set the signal at
danger. While his attention was be
ing devoted to communicating with the
succeeding block station the boy, it is
alleged, pulled the lever that gave tho
on-coming train the signal that it had
a clear track ahead and the tower oper
ator was not aware of what was done
until the crash came. After the wreck
the passenger train was taken back to
Cumberland, subsequently proceeding
to Baltimore. The Injured were sent
to.tUe hospital in this city.

WAS SHOT ON SIGHT
South Carolina's Lieutenant Gov

the Street.
SEQUEL OF A CAMPAIGN QUARREL
Men Had Met on the Street Dally and
No Sign Been Given of a Com
ing Tragedy.
Columbia. S. C., Jan. 10.—Narclsso
Gener Gonzales, editor of The State,
Is nt the Columbia hospital In a criti
cal condition from a pistol wound In
flicted by. .lames II. Tillman, lieuten
ant governor of South Carolina, and
nephew nt* I'nited States Senator
Tillman. Tho shooting occurred on
Main street, just at the intersection
of Gervais street. In full view of the
state capitol the most frequented cor
ner in Columbia. It was just a few
moments before n. m. when the cry
was passed along the streets that "Jim
Tillman has shot N. (». Gonzales."
Wound Is Probably Fatal.
Gonzales was taken to the office of
The State, where physicians pro
nounce his wound very dangerous and
probably fatal. Policeman Boland im
mediately after the shooting arrested
Lieutenant Governor Tillman and took
him to tho police headquarters, where
he was relieved of two pistols with* ono
of which he shot Gonzales. From the
police station he was taken to the
county jail, where he was kept under
protection of ofilcers. The only at
tributed cause for the shooting is that
during the recent primary election
Gonzales bitterly opposed Lieutenant
Governor Tillman in his race for gov
ernor.
Some of Gonzales* "Criticism."
8IIOT DOWN WITHOUT A CHANCE
Seems to Have IJoeo the Way Gonzales
Met Ills Probable Ueatli Wound.
There appears to be no conflict of
testimony as to the essential features
of the tragedy. Gonzales was walking
home alone from his office. Lieutenant
Governor Tillman left the state house
just after the senate, over which he
presided, had adjourned. He came out
of the state house accompanied by
State Senators Talbord, of Beaufort,
and Brown, of Darlington, and was
joined on his way up town by Repre
sentative-Elect Wyatt Aiken and ex
State Deputy Dominlck. The meet
ing with Gonzales was just nt the turn
of Main and Gervais streets, on the
north side of the street. There was
no encounter, no fist fighting, no lay
ing oirof hands. Tillman, so far as
the evidence discloses, simply drew
his revolver and fired at Gonzales.
Most of those who saw the affair
say there was nothing said until after
the shot One of Tillman's escorts
says he thinks Tillman said: "I re
ceived your message," and then fired.
He Is not certain of this, but thinks
so. The other companion of Tillman
says he did not hear anything, but
thinks ho would have heard any words
if they were spoken. Two or three
others say they heard nothing until
after the firing of the pistol.
Gonzales himself gave an explicit
statement of the affair prior to being
put under an aesthetics. He was very
emphatic in saying that he had not
sent any message to Tillman at any
time, and that Tillman said nothing
until after he had fired after he had
shot he said something about taking
him (Gonzales^ at his word. Gonzales
took this to mean that Tillman told
him that he was settling old issues
face to face with him. Gonzales Is
certain that nothing was said until aft
er the shot was fired, when he tottered
to the street car transfer station
agains which he leaned. Tillman was
still pointing his pistol at him, where
upon Gonzales said: "Shoot again you
coward." Tillman lowered his pistol
and walked away.
£dltor Gonxales Is Dead*
Columbia, S. C., Jan. 39.—Editor
Gonzales, who was shot last Thursday
afternoon by Lieutenant-Governor
Tillman, is dead. The end came at 1
o'clock in the afternoon.
In his cell where he has been con
fined since the shooting, Lieutenant
Governor Tillman heard the news with
visible emotion. There is universal
sorrow.

MOSTLY IN CORROBORATION
Testimony fJlven Before the Strtne Coin
miBRlon MIU-IICM'M Stale
UIHIlt.
Philadelphia. Jan. 10.—Most of the
testimony presented to the anthracite
coal strike commission yesterday was
of a corroborative nature, the Erie
company producing numerous witness
es to prove that the miners' union Is
responsible for the alleged restriction
of the hard coal production, but It was
adduced that the practice of restrict
ing the number of cars to be loaded
dally by one man had been In opera
tion as far imck as 1S95, long before
the United Mine Workers entered the
anthmcitc region. The union's respon
sibility rests with the enforcement of
this rule.
When oneinantestlfied that he work
ed by contract "robbing pillars" and
could not get enough cars. Mitchell ex
plained that the union regarded with
disfavor the practice of miners secur
ing certain work by contract. In the
first place, he said, the lowest bidder
always secures the contract and he
employs as many helpers as he deems
necessary, paying them smaller wages
than they would otherwise receive.
This the union considered unjust to
the other workmen and Increased the
liability of accidents.
FATAL FIRE AT CLEVELAND.

During the progress of that cam
palgn Gonzales in his fight to defeat
Tillman had editorially called him a
debauchee and blackguard, and having
donounced him as a "criminal candi
date," and "a proven liar." It was
this and other such editorials, it Is sup
posed, that goaded Tillman to the mur
der. Since the first primary, Aug. 20,
1002, Gonzales has had nothing to say
about Tillman except to comment up
on the result of the primary.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
The fifty tenants of the two buildings
were asleep when he fire broke out.
A panic ensued among them when they
were finally aroused and many were
rescued with the greatest difficulty,
nearly all escaping in their night
clothing. The total pecuniary loss is
about $00,000, partially covered by In
surance.

The glories of melodrama are uafad

case ot "The Denver KxpreBs" which 1b
one of tbe warmest aud most rapid
plays of Its clasB. Once again Sittiog
Bull, Staodihg Cow, and their baud of
braves will attack the emigrant train
and emit their war whoops at Central
to tbe huge delight of the gallery, and
the eubdued thrills of tbe parquet. The
Ilolden 13roB. have equipped tbe play
with ail excellent series of new BceneR,
and the grand ball at the Palace Hotel,
San Francisco provides a society ele
ment that entirely removes the suspi
cion that this Is a wild and woolly west
ern drama. It has situations aod cli
maxes which are thriiliug to a degree,
In the frontier scenes, but tbe two acts
devoted to the American millionaries
and the scions of British aristocracy
show the Bkillfui hand of a clever dram
atist end are satirical and amusing
always. Taken all In all it has proveu
Its right to play return dates, and its )n
terestlng story, uproarous comedy and
well woveo „plot eutitle the play to
whatever success it may achieve. A

The Commoner.
Tbe Commoner, Mr. Uryau'a paper,
will be eBpeciully interesting and in
structive during tbe present session of
congress. The action of this congress
will probably determine tbe issues upon
wbicb tbe next presidential campaign
will be fought. Tbe Commoner pro
poses to carry on a campaign of educa
tion and organization to tbe end tbat
democratic principles may triumph.
Id addition to the editorial depart
ment, which receives Mr. iiryan's per
sonal attention. The Commoner con
tains a Current Topic department,
wherein a non-partisan discussion of
topics of timely interest aud other valu
able information will be found. The
Home department is conducted by an
experienced woman who is widely
known as a writer of household topicB
"and who is an authority on the art of
cooking in all that" tbe term implies.
This department alone is worth the
subscription price. The other depart
ments of the paper are all interesting
and ably conducted, among wbicb is a
summary of tbe world's news told in
narrative style, and Mr. Maupin's de
partment—Whether Common or Not—
contains original anecdotes and wit,
moral lessons in homely phrase and
verse, and appeals to old and young
alike.
The Commoner as a whole is clean,
entertaining and instructive, and its
rapid increase in circulation—now
amounting to 140,000—is proof of tbe
paper's strength and inlluence.
Arrangements have been made with
Mr. Bryan whereby The Commoner can
be supplied at a verv low rate with the
Manchester Democrat both papers for
one year for 82.1f. This offer applies
to both new and renewal subscriptions,
and should be taken advantage of with'
out delay. All orders should be sent to
the oilice of the Manchester Democrat.

Fashion Wlari Out More
Garments Than the Man."
Shakespeare was right if he was talking about Scharles,
suits. They're not the kind which wear out in one season,
buppose a Scharles' suit does cost $10 more than a ready made
-it will wear two or three years longer, and isn't that economy.
Just now there is not that much difference in the coet, for we
still continue the reduced prices advertised for the last month.
All Suits at $5 under regular price.
Your choice of heavy overcoats at $22.50.
No matter how low the price, the Scharles
standard of good workmanship must be main-,
tained in every garment we make.
