Joe STanler One of the Many Who Are Anx ious to Get Milliken's Seat. POECTS ON POLITICS IN OTHER PARTS rcrKCIAL TELKCBUt TO THE DTSPATCIM BAJ.GOB, Me., Xov. 10. The political situation in the Th'rd Maine Congressional district continues to agitate all the Repub lican bosses from Belfast to Augusta, and if there are as many candidates in the nomina ting convention as there are now, it will be a. lively gathering of the clans. There are at present four candidates in the field for the Republican nomination Hon. Seth L. Milliken, who now holds the coveted posi tion, and would like to hold it for life; Governor Edwin C. Burleigh, who is anx ions to step from Augusta to "Washington; Hon. A. P. "vTiswell, speaker of the last Ma'ne Ho-se, who aspires to higher things, nnd the sagacious "Vice-Boss of the Kenne bec, Hon. Joseph H. Manley, Mr. Blaine's trusted right-hand man. It is thought by some that Manley's can didacy is only a blind, and that he has en tered the list simply to run the Governor oft the track. What Kppnbllrans Have to Say. A leading Republican of the district says that the old Kennebec ring ha' decided that Governor Burleiph has gone far enough, and that they don't want hira in Congress. "When the time comes," says this Repub lican "the Manley and "Wiswell forces will unite on Milliken and the latter will get the nomination. Blaine has no ue for the Governor in Congress and Manley, his lieutenant, will cf accordingly." But opinions differ, and sympathies are various in the Third district. Another, and just as good a Republican as the one just quoted, says: "Governor Burleigh is going to win this fijht. Among the common ele ment of the Republican party he is stronir. He has a consistent record on the prohibi tory law question, and this gives hira strength in the country towns. He is con sidered a man of the people, and will ro in to the convention with votes- enough pledged to him to give him the nomination. Fighting Against an Old King. "It is a fight against the old Kennebec ring, which a great many people want to see smashed. The rins is strong, but not in vincible, and 1 believe that it can and will be smashed. The late election in New York shows what people think of men who sent the World's Fair from the East to Chicago, and the people here will show to Mr. Mifi ken what they think of his action in regard to that important matter. Burleigh is sure to win." These opinions reflect the views of two leading factions in the third district's last light, which is of national importance, for Blaine's hand is in.it, and people all over the country will watch with interest to see whether or not the Plumed Knight still holds his sway in Maine and can pick out Congressmen 10 suit himself. Meanwhile the earnest Democratic mi nority in the Third is vastly entertain id, and will be ready to get in som; effective work should the opportunity occur. MB.

Special' Mayor Chapin, of Brooklyn, has received this congratulatory letter from the Governor elect: Jlr Dear Mayor: I thank you for your kind congratulations upon my election as Governor- Permit me also to congratulate you upon your election as Congressman. Ton will And it a much wider field for usefulness than any which jou have occupied, and I have no doubt j ou will fill it to the satis raction of your constituents. Upon the action of the pres ent Congress will depend the election of the next President. If it succeeds in reducing the expenditures of the Government by $100,000 COO or more, thus making a surplus by which the next administration can re 's isetho tariff, you will have given us an is sue which will win before tho people You will find the revenues of the Govern ment mortgiged to the extent of $10 000,000 i.-i the shape of a sugar bounty, and no man knows how much more for shipping bounties, and $5,000 000 or $6 000,000 for public buildings It will be more credit to you and your colleagues if you can show, at the end of the first session that economy has been the watchword of the Democracy, and an easy victory will await us in 1892.

JSpccSal A number of the People's party leaders are holding a conference here to-night, with "V. 1L Utley, the Union Labor candidate for Congress in thexThird district, as the cen tral figure. Leading Democratic politicians have urged a combination with the People's party on the State ticket next fall, promis ing in exchange the Democratic vote for the People's electoral ticket Dr. MacLallin, editor of the AWanct Advocate, the official organ of the Farmers' Alliance, said to night that the People's party would not fuse. "Ve arc not afraid of the Democrats in 1892," he said. "They cannot vote with the Republicans in a Presidental year, and the returns from the county elections show that the People's party polled a larger per cent of the total vote this fall than it did last If the Democrats had nominated a ticket we would have swept the field." S. M. Scott, the -Alliance State lecturer, said that he had talked with many Democrats, all of whom regretted that the Democrats had voted with the Republicans. THE HAMILTON COUNTY VOTE. A Bad Blander Which Coit Both the Lead ing Tickets Many Votes. Cincinnati, INov. 10. The Board of elections has completed the canvass of the vote of Hamilton county, but will not cer tify the result until to-morrow. The total vote cast in the county is 74,376. The total vote for McKiuley is 37,470; for Campbell, 31,'fl94; for Ashenhurst, Pro., 326; for Seitz, Peoples', 3,18Z McKinley's plurality over Campbell is 5,776. The vote for Lieutenant Governor is: Harris, 35,841; Marquis, 29,047; Kirkendall, iij; Rist, 3,144. There were 2,047 more votes for Campbell than for his Lieutenant Governor, and 1,629 more for Mclvinley than for Harris. This is accounted for by voters marking the Governor's name and supposing they were thus casting a ttraight vote for all the candidates ol the party. A Blow to the Anti-Lottery Party. New Okleans, Nov. 10. SpcciaL A primaiy election was held in this city to day for the selection of delegates to the Democratic convention. The election, which was one of the most exciting and hotly contested ever held here, turned largclv on the lottery Issue. Anti-lottery Democrats who are opposed to the re-charter of the lottery company put a full ticket in the field. The other faction, which was in favor of submitting the lot tery question to the popular vote, carried the lity by a majority of over 11,000 in the largest primary vote ever polled here, 27, 00, carrying all the 17 wards and electing tiie 139 aclegates. It is considered a severe blow to the anti-lottery party. Only One Iowa Republican .Elected. l)cs Moines, 1a., 2fov. 10. An official canvass of- votes was made yesterday bv county votes of supervisors. Returns are coming in slow. The Register has heard from about 60 counties out of 99.

CHIHESE REVOLUTIONISTS. They Draw Up an Elaborate Plan for the Proposed New Empire. New York, Nov. 10. The Presbyterian Board of Missions in this city received by the last mail from China the following let ter from their missionary at Soo Chow, under date of September 21: Within a few days a plot has been dis covered which aimed at rebellion on a large scale. Arms were being secretly imported through a certain man by the name of Mason, destined to supply the rest of the others with necessary munitions or war. Providentially these were detected Dy the customs officers, and the foreigner in charge of them was sent back-to Shanghai, where he awaits trial. In yesterday's paper he writes a let ter in which he claims that he gave himself to the movement for the purpose or divulg ing the secrets of those wno employed him. He says that the leader of the scheme re vealed to him a programme of his policy in tho ooming new empire, which provides limited boundaries, with consequent partition of tho country; imports, foreign or native, would pay a single duty on arrival and then be free to move throughout the land untaxed: duty on tea to be experimentally reduced; railways to be built, roads made and canals dredged; the employment of foreigners throughout in the arm and navyj TEMPERANCE WOMEN IN COUNCIL The W.

CANCER BEING CURED By the Faith in Divine Healing Shown by a Woman. MRS. CHURCH IS CONVALESCENT. Her Husband and Son Are Both Practicing Physicians, hut SHE WILL NOT TAKE A DROP OP MEDICINE tKr-ECIAL TBLJEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. New York, Nov. 10. Mrs. Church, the wife of Dr. Charles A. Church, a homeo pathic physician of Passaic, lies at home, bedridden with cancer, waiting to be healed by the Lord. Her husband kneels daily at her bedside, praying that she may be cured. Her son, Dr. Charles Church, Jr., a recent graduate of a homeopathic medical college, pooh-poohs the idea of medical attendance, declaring that either his mother will be cured by her faith, or she will die. Her father, an old, gray-haired man, came all1 the way lroni Wisconsin, fully convinced that he is soon to behold a miracle. Mrs. Church is 45 years old. As she lies suffering she smiles on husband, father and son, and says: "The Lord's will be done." When a reporter called at the house to-day the elder Dr. Church was not at home. His son, Dr. Church, Jr., is a tall, good-looking young man, not more than 26 years of age, with blue eyes, ruddy cheeks "and curling blonde whiskers. " Story Told by the Son. "Father had pneumonia nearly six years aeOj" he said, "which kept growing worse until it developed into galloping consump tion. He tried all sorts of remedies, but none of them worked. He went to six of the best homeopathics in this State.but they all agreed there was no hope for him. His lungs were almost solid, and we all gave him up. Then father and mother became ac quainted with divine healing. I think this was through tracts at first, but I am not sure. They looked it up in the Bible, and believe in it ' Mrs. Church's lather had in the mean time come into the room, leaning heavily on a stout stick. He nodded kindly to the reporter. The voung man continued: "Father went to New York, to Dr. A. B. Simpson, of the Christian Alliance, and was anointed, and from that day he began to heal rapidly until he was able to take up his practice again, and now he's as strong and healthy as vou or I. What did the other physicians say' Oh, they did not say anything. What could they say. Father laid his recovery to Divine healing, and he has believed in ft ever since. Mother was taken sick about three years ago. She had cancer, and it kept on growing worse and she had severe pains. Couldn't Sleep for the Pain. "She often woke up in the middle of the night in frightful pain. Besides that she has had rheumatism for 15 years. At first she was able to walk about; the cancer did not confine her to her bed. One day she made up her mind to be anointed, and she went to New York. She let me see; I'd like to tell you on what she based her faith. J ust wait a minute. "He got up and left the room. He walked out and returned with a piece of paper m his hand, from which he read: "Mrs. C claims promises for bodily healing are as definite as lor forgiveness of sins, but are made only to Christians. She firmly ex pects the Lord will heal her because He has promised to.' " "Then he laid down the paper and went on. "As I was telling you, my mother went to New York and attended Dr. Simpson's church. He anointed her by rubbing her forehead with oil, whiob is a kind of sacra ment Then she came back, and from that day to this she has not suffered any pa'n. That was two years ago. Thi cancer kept on growing, but mother was happr. She would often wake up in the morning feeling kind of stifi, but as I told you, she had rheumatism and it might have been that Beyond that stiff feeling she had not the slightest pain." Not a D rop of Medicine Used. Mrs. Church is attended by a nurse who administers to all her wants. Close by her bed is a little table, on which lie the Bible and Young's Concordance. She reads these two books alternately day after day. Not a drop of medicine passes her lips; not an operation has been performed, but she smiles and says it does not hurt, and the Lord will keep his promise. Mrs. Church was formerly President of the local Women's Christian Temperance Union, a member of the Union Benevolent Society, and one of the enthusiastic mem bers of the Methodist Church. For many years she was foremost in all benevolent and charitable organizations within a radius of twenty miles. The residents of Passaic, who are 'acquainted with the facts of her sickness, are divided in their opinions. THE PENNSYLVANIA ALLIANCE. The First Bay' Sesiion at the State Capi tal Devoted to Routine Matters. Hakbisburo, Nov. 10. Sepcial Thirty-four counties were represented at the State Council of the Farmers' Alliance of Pennsylvania, which convened in the hall of the House of Representatives this morn ing. Henry C. Snavely, of Lebanor, President, presided, and about 60 delegates and all State officers were in attenaance i.ne morning session was devoted to the appointment of committees and the transaction of routine business. The secret work of the order was exemplified at the afternoon session. This was followed by . discussions of different matters pertaining to the advancement of the organization.

Boston, Nov. 10. Spedd. The rather unusual spectacle of a daughter suing her father for breach of contract was what the people assembled in the fourth session of Superior Civil Court saw this morning, Carrie A. Holmes claimed that her father, Henry W. Smith, owed her $20,733. The declaration stated that Henry W. Smith was vice-president and director in the Smith Organ and Piano Company, and that the plaintiff had allowed him to deposit $20,000 for her in the company. The Smith family lived in Newton and were happy in their domestic relations. Miss Smith then married Mr. Holmes, and October 21, 1889, a credit was made to Mrs. Holmes, the plaintiff, on the books of the company, and June 30, 1890, a charge was made tor nearly this entire amoupt now sued for. In the summer of 1890 Mrs. Holmes learned that her father had drawn this amount from the company and was trans ferring real estate. He did this by means of an order which she had signed for him, relying on his integrity, but which she sup posed was merely to secure to him the money in 'case of her death. He drew out all but $816. ,MrsHblm3s now claims that she did not give him the money. DOROTHY DK0PS IN. TheBostonlani Heard to Good Advantage In Center's Tuneful Work. "Dorothy" is built on too heavy a plan to be a model opera comique, not that it is musically ponderous, for it is rather over light if anything in that regard, but it Is cumbrous in plot, in action and in dialogue. Londoners were sentenced to it for three years and liked it There must be a large difference' in taste between English and American audiences. Despite the vehicle the Bostonians amused a very large audienoe last night at the Duquesne. The opera was very well sung, and part of the reason that the performance lasted till after 11 o'clock was that nearly every important number was encored. Miss Caroline Ham ilton,"in the title role, acted vivaciously and her singing was really admirable; in some of the more florid passages she was especially successful, and she reached the high note at the end of the hunter's chorus in act IL with delightful ease. Miss Ham ilton, Miss Davis and Messrs. McDonald and Hoff gave the pretty quartette in act L very effectively. Of the concerted num bers perhaps the "Goodnight" chorus in, act IL was the best -rendered, as it is perhaps the daintiest in motive, and Mr. oiuaieya excellent control oi tne cnorus was best exemplified in this number. The Studley'a excellent control of the chorus shading in this and nearly every other con certed passage was nicely managed. Mr. Eugene Cowles must learn to tone down that teriffie voice of his if he would charm as well as impress his auditors. A full ex pansion of the lungs and exertion of the vocal chords are desirable, of course, but Mr. Cowles should study the Duquesne's dimensions. If the Penn avenue walls were' not cracked last night Mr. Cowles is not to blame. In fact a little repression in several places would improve the Bostonians' performance. One of the surprises of the evening was the capital singing of a Miss May Uimer, who sang in Miss Van Dyke's place, and figured wrongly on the programme as Miss Lillian Hawthorne. Miss Ulmer's song in the last act reeeived the warmest applause of the evening, and properly, for it revealed a voice youthful, fresh and delicately man aged. Miss Ulmer is a tyro and her timid ity last night hampered her a good deal, but th'e sweetest song birds are often the shyest If some singers had less confidence and more voice it would be just as well. Mr. Barnabee was funny enough in his quiet way as Lurcher, the disreputable sheriff, and the make-up of Mr. Frothing ham as a double-chinned,rosy old innkeeper was in itself a work of art. Mr. Hoff s voice was very huskv at the start, but im proved rapidly, and in spite of his cold he sang with power as well as finish. Miss Lola Hawthorne's Lady Betty was a clever bit of comedy. The costumes were un usually pretty, and a remarkable dress was Lworn by Miss Davis in the second act But wny say the time of the opera is 1840 when all the characters were eighteenth century dresses? To-night "Robin Hood" will be repeated. PRINTER MEREDITH'S REPORT. Great Increase of the Work in His Depart ment the Fast Tear. Washington, Nov. 10. W. M.

Tkje Knights of Labor Convention met this morning, and the fore noon was spent in necessary routine mat ters. Worthy Foreman Hugh Cavanaugh p'resided until General Master Workman Powderlyentered the halt The latter was I received with rounds of cheers from the delegates. 'A discussion in regard to tho seating of certain delegates took up the time until the 1 o'clock adjournment At the afternoon session these cases were all settled except the protest against the seating of Major Mc- . - ,. . ,T , . , v Gowan of U. A. No. 147, which was re- ferred back to the Committee on Creden tials. The report of the Committee on Law was presented and was laid over to hear Mr. Powderly's address, which was ordered printed and distributed to the members be fore being given to the public Financially in Very Fair Shape. General Secretary-Treasurer Hayes next reported. Though the expenditures of the order for tho past year were swelled by sev eral extraordinary outlays, the revenues were sufficient to meet all demands. By order of the Executive Board he has ex onerated a number ot assemblies from pay ment of the per capita tax, but urges that requests of this sort should be discouraged. He complained that some assemblies send in incorrect reports to the general offices to escape their full taxation, and asks that means be devised for preventing this. He' closes with the hope that the order may have a respite from strikes and labor trou bles, so that the general officers can attend to educational work; The total annual receipts were $99,685 22: expenditures, $102,474 36; balance on hand at beginning of year, $13,053 13; balance now in Treasury, $10,263 79.

The report of the Board on the ex tradition of Hughes, the Master Woikman of the Clothing Cutters, by Governor Patti son, of Pennsylvania, on a charge of con spiracy, preferred by the Rochester cloth ing manufacturers, condemns the Governor's action as extra-legal and in defiance of all precedents. ifie board also complains that the labels of the order are counterfeited systemat ically, and that as the law affords no suf ficient protection, asks the appointment of a special committee to devise means of remedy. The report congratulates the order on its membership of 270,000, but cautions against reckless admissions of members. It also explains that the power granted at the last session to sell the headquarters building at Philadelphia, which was asked for bf the board for a reason it then refused to give, was required in order to enable them to remove a cloud on the title to the property. This having been done; it is now recommended the power to sell be with drawn.. This evening a formal reception was given the general officers and delegates at Memorial Hall. The address of welcome was by Mayor Emmick and the response by Mr. Powderly. Other addresses were made by citizens and members of the order. THE FIRE REC0ED.
