Lohdon, December 21 .Copyright
Xf. Europe is still in the influenza's grip. Some
experts say it is due to the phenomenally
mild weather, which has been favorable to
breeding and nourishing certain germs
which long ere this time of the
"year should have bees annihilated
4by frost. But this explanation is
not altogether convincing, seeing
at the disease has no geographical limita
tion, having thrived lustily alike in the
froxenJfortb and the balmy Soptb, and as
the Lancet saplently remarks. "Its virus
travels over sea and land in a manner so
baffling and contradictory to the ordinary
conceptions of transmission of infection as
to render any simple explanation of its na
ture almost impossible."
THE SYMPTOMS YABIABLE.
The symptoms also vary to a considerable
extent, .apparently in sympathy witb cli
matic conditions and individual peculiari
ties." In this country there is marked cer
ebral disturbance, nausea or vomiting, vio
lent diarrhoea, sore throat, with extreme
muscular weakness, cardiac pain and de
pression, and severe aching of the limbs and
the muscles of the back. In Spain these
'symptoms are varied by chills, shivers, bone
aches, headache and fever.
The remedies recommended or enforced
are as varied and curious as ths symptoms.
In Paris men have painted their mustaches
with a preparation of pinol and have tried
bravely to give up smoking, Many fami
lies have tried keeping indoors, with doors
and windows sealed", on the plan referred to
here last week, but the result has sot been

No more"snece'Bj has followed the action
of tbfe "Governor of Lower Austria, who has
"ventured to issue a proclamation ordering
the local authorities to treat influenza like
any other Infectious disease. Atthepresen
moment there -cannot be less than 500,000
people suffering from this disease in Europe,
in Odessa there are at this moment
40,000 victims; in Antwerp there
are 10,000 cases; in Paris 60,000
to 80,000; jn Madrid 30,000, and so on.
Parisians have almost ceased to make fun
over the disease. There may be something
comical about red noses and loud sneezing,
but when one has to lay abed for days and
howl over violent abdominal pains, the
daughter is apt to become somewhat forced.
BUSINESS AFFECTED.
,7 The disease is seriously affecting business,
also, for those who can afford it are rushing
i South or migrating into the country, and
the masses will, it is feared, have too much
to pay the doctors to allow of the average
patronage of Christmas and New Year fairs.
In Paris, as elsewhere, the disease has
been rigidly impartial, the victims includ
ing President and Madame Carnot, Minis
ters Tirard, Spuller, Preyciuet Bouvier
and Pay e. Clemen ceau has to keep his
room. The Palais Boyal Theater is closed
because Madame Judic and others of the
company are in the doctors' hands, and the
Vaudeville will probably have to follow
suit The school holidays have been has
tened, and the troops in garrison are given
as little outdoor work and exercise as
possible. Finally, the epidemic is spoil
ing seasonable festivities and diminishing
theater receipts to an alarming extent
UK CHECKED IS GEBMAKT.
Jn Germany, from Hamburg to Mnnich,
influenza is raging unchecked. Several
military schools have been closed, and the
work of several Government departments
li'has been thrown into confusion owing to
ji. the number of officials on the sick list
3 Similar news comes from Austria, Italy,
Spain, Switzerland and Portugal. But it
jis comforting to know that not a single
'death has yet been recorded this week as
adue to influenza. Everywhere the favorite
-remedies seem to be antipyrine and quinine.
Jiin which just now there is an emphatic and
si tremendous boom.
sTThe most exalted sufferer this week is the
Rinnan Emperor. Attempts were made to
aeny vnai ne naa anytning more serious
than a slight cold, but the pretensehad to

ilcnown that His Maiestv had riven nn

was not until yesterday evening that the
-Emperor was allowed to leave his bed. and
to-day he has not been permitted to leave his

GHOSTS IN THE WOODS.
A Murderer's Spirit Thought to be Wan-

Criminal Wu Lynched Ter-
ribla Sound and Sights.
nrECUX. TELEOBAlf TO TOTS DISFATCR.1
Cabhesville, Ga., December 2L A
well-authenticated report has reached a
local newspaper office that an apparition
has been seen several times lately near
here Frank Banders, the murderer, was
lynched. It is said that there are heard
strange noises and the most awful groans
that mortal man ever heard in the woods,
and they are unaccounted for by any line of
human reasoning. A short while ago an
apparently large fire was seen at a distance
in the woods, and a large crowd of smajl
children was seen dancing and playing
around it and having a merry time.
The firn annpurcd In he cnmft 200 vards
'from the road, and when those who saw it
attempted to go to it, it would appear to
make a retreat through the woods, and the
pursuer could never get nearer than when he
started to it The children appeared to be
having a perfect jubilee, as they were danc
ing and playing like so many fairies, and
having a picnic in the woods by firelight.
After making the chase for some time it was
abandoned, and the light was left burning
and the children dancing in their merry
glee.
It is said that hooting owls are heard near
the spot at all times of the night, and there
is one heard almost nightly that has a dif
ferent voice from any of the others, and one
who once hears it is impressed with the idea
that it is a warning of danger. Several col
ored people have passed the place recently
who have seen something that had the ap
pearance of a gallows and & victim upon the
scaffold upon his knees making a confes
sion, and several ministers around offering
up prayers for the cnlprit
J. A. Hilley, -who rented Dr. Pceeman's
place last year, near the place of the execu
tion, left it on account of himself and fam
ily having seen things for which they
couldn't account and which they thought
were supernatural, and its present tenant,
J. E. Crawford, has also heard things near
the place that are shrouded in mystery to
him. These reports have become so general,
and are so much believed by the colored
people, that those who came from up that
road to. town always leave in time to pass
the place of the execution before nightfall.
CULYER STRIKES BACK.
The Cronln Juror Believe That He Only Per

Wm Entirely Too Officious.
He Waa Not Bribed.
Chicago, December 21. Juror John
Culver, the man who held out against the
infliction of the death penalty in the Cronin
trial, makes a statement in answer to tbe
published strictures on his conduct He
says:
When I was sworn to try the case In which!
was Impaneled, according to law and the evi
dence, I had no Idea that I should be required
to satisfy tbe popular clamor, and I now think
that jury trials have become the veriest farce
If it a true that one must salt his verdict to
the demands of newspapers or pnbllo opinion
(If. indeed, tbe newspapers express, instead of
manufacture, public opinion), or be de
nounced and maligned, and his action at
tributed to the most detestable of all
corruption bribery his rellcion derided,
and even his family and wire, dragged
in to enhance tbe sensation. Among the nat
ural fruits of this passionate and clamorous
treatment on the part of the newspapers al
luded to I class the numerous published inter
views of persons not sworn to try tbe case, and
the conduct of Judge Longenecker in stepping
out of the sphere of bis duties as prosecuting
officer and assuming that of censor of jurors
when forsooth their verdict happens noltolie
In accordance with his desires, and tbe many
obscure and threatening, letters, which myself j
and my wtfeliave reoelred.
There was, fool conspiracy to murder Dr.

it is true that there are counter secret so

tin; death to jurors that do not And their ver
dicts according to tbe desires, of tbe members
of tbeso societies, to what a passTiave we come,
and in what a perilous position stand onr courts
of justice. If I am to be the nextrictlm of these
feuds, I shall have nothing to regret except
that the law made it my duty to be a juror
in this important case, and that tbe state of
public feeling is such as to make it possible
that such an outrage can be committed upon
one who has endeavored to discbarge his duty
to the best of his ability.

the Italian owners of the phosphate mines
in Calleton county, S. C, called at Castle
Garden to-day, and told, under oath, how
the miners were treated when he was down
there. He said that he got employment
through the agency of A. E. Herz, at 18
Greenwich street He was promised first
class board and $2 60 a day. He says that
the men at work in the mines were mostly
Germans and Belgians. They were worked
from 520 in tbe morning until 6 at night
were led on bad bread and half-cooked
pork, and had to sleep on tumble-down
straw. The men received about 25 cents a
day and their board and lodging. He was
put in jail for refusing to work, but as he
had not signed a contract his taskmasters
were compelled to release him. "When he
left the mines there were 11 men in prison.
Each one had signed a contract binding
himself to work for a certain time for the
mine, owners.

Charleston, wrote to Consul Mali, here, re

might the amount of his donation, as his
name would encourage others to subscribe.
Mr. Cleveland said that all other applicants
used the same argument He said he would
like to assist all worthy institutions, but
his finances would not allow him to do so,
but he would consult Mrs. Cleveland nbout
this particular request
Then he added significantly: The truth
of the matter is that the demands which are

tbn Free Trader,
Candidate Thomas claims to have positive
evidence that Brice is a citizen of New
York. The latter made affidavit to thatef
fect in signing a bond six months ago. This
charge, if sustained, would make the na
tional Democratic chairman ineligible as
Senator from Ohio.
tsrr-cTAi yitioiuu to tbb pisrAicn.:
Columbus, December 21. John H.
Thomas, tbe Senatorial candidate, imparted
the information before leaving for his home
in Springfield to-night that he had just come
into possession of facts which would insure
the defeat of Brice. Being pressed for his
find he said he had jnst received from bis
agent in New York a certified, copy of a
paper in which six months ago Brioe went
on the bond of a firm of contractors in New
York when he made oath to his residence
being ia New York.
Thomas claims to be able to show that
Brice has not voted in Ohio for two years.
The constitutional qualifications of a Sen
ator are described in article I, seotlon three,
clause three, of the Constitution oh the
United States, which says: "No person
shall be a Senator who shall not have .at
tained to the age of 30 years, and been nine
years a oitizen of he United Spates, and
who shall not, when elected, be an inhab
itant of that State for which he shall be
chosen." The objection mads against Mr,
Brice is that he is not an "inhabitant" of
tte SUte of Ohio, but of New York. The
point turns on what is meant by "inhab
itant," XRB li&W IK OHIO.
Bection 2,946 of the revised statutes of
Ohio .says:
That place shall be considered tbe residence
of a person in which bis habitation is fixed,
and to wblcb, whenever be is absent, lie bas tbe
intention of returning. A person shall not be
considered to have lost bis residence who
leaves bis home and goes into another State, or
county of this state, for temporary purposes
merely, witb tbe intention of- returnins- A

If a person remove to another State, with an
intention to make it his permanent residence,
be shaft be considered to have lost bis residence

State, with an intention of remaining there an
indennlte time, and as a place of present
residence, he sball be considered to bave lost
bis residence In this State, notwithstanding he
may entertain an intention to return at some
future period. The mere Intention to acquire
anew residence, without the fact of removal,
sball avail nothing; neither sball the fact of
removal without the intention. If a person eo
into another State, and while there exercise
the right of a citizen by voting, be shall be con
sidered to have lost his residence in this State.
A YEBf 5XB0HG POINT.
It would therefore- seem that even under
the most liberal connrrnctian of th law3f
Mr,iIhomaS aFtfafaiik prof JssJilnuiigU
nionC&almiiilVisBSr e"fibie
Brice men have met furious opposition in'
the post two days and are calling out all
their reserve force, Hon. Prank Hurd, of
Toledo, and General Ai N. Bice, of Pre
mont, will be here tbe first of, the week to
aid in Brice's canvass
The fact that Prank Hurd has supported
Cal Brice for Senator has surprised many
Democrats, and when it was known that
Hurd could have had the most of the Bepre
sentatives from Northwestern Ohio if he had
announced himself as a candidate, tbe sur
prise was increased. Congressman Bill
Hill, who is at the head ot Brice's bureau,
stated that Hurd was to support Brice this
year in turn for Brice's opening his barrel
to elect a Democratic Legislature, which
shonld select Hurd to succeed Sherman in
1893. The disclosure has created a sensa
tion among local Democrats.
HUBD MAY BE THE MAN.
It is the free trader's expressed ambition
to go to the Upper House oi Congress, and
the combination is one in keenintt with this.
Por some time Hurd had been non-committal
as to his choice, but after a long confer
ence at the Boodv House last week with
Brice, lasting nearly a dav, he announoed
himself in favor of the New York man.
Brice said when last here alter his confer
ence that Hurd would henceforth be for
him, and that the free trader would be the
next Ohio Senator after him.
In view of all- these facts it is believed
here that if the discovery made by Thomas
forces Brice off the traok, or it for any other
reason he cahoot secure the Senatorial
honors,, the Brice strength will be thrown to
Hurd. This would practicallv assure the
election of the Toledo statesman, as he Is
very popular throughout the State, and
would make a very strong candidate even
without the support of Brice. v
An effort was made by The Dispatch
correspondent to-night to reach Mr. Hurd
by telegraph, but nothing was learned be
yond the fact that he was at Lima in close
consultation witri Brice.
ABOUT BOOKWALTEB.
Mr. Thomas dropped another significant
remark to-night
"I see you have another candidate in
Springfield'' remarked the correspondent.
"Y-e-es, who's that?"
"Why, Mr. Bookwalter."
"Oh, that was announced this morning. I
thought you meant a real new candidate,"
said Mr. Thomas.
""What do you think of his candidacy?"
was asked.
"I guess Ballentine and Charley Constan
tine wanted to attract attention and brought
him up. Constantino is an Oklahoma
boomer, you know. He was defeated for
Mayor ut there. The Bookwalter candi
dacy is to serve some side interest that I
don't altogether understand. I believe Bal
lentine ha been working for Brice."
"Do you think that Mr. Bookwalter is a
bona ride candidate?"
"1 really don't know. It is sometimes
hard to learn a man's motives. He is hardly
as much an Ohio man as Mr. Brice, how
ever. Since his canvass for the Governor
ship in 1881 1 don't believe thas he has been
in Springfield 60 days in all. It would
crowd him to scrape up 60 days that he bas
been in Cleveland in the last eight years.
He has been in Egypt more than he has
been in Ohio in that time." .

the effects of the terrible drug, cocaine.
Theutory of iis subjection to the drug, as
related by the policeman who arrested hint,
Is a terrible warning, At 220 o'clock this
morning Policeman John J. Bath was on
iiajwat at tho Bowery and Grand street
when an excited yonng man rushed up to
hlml In breathless tones be "told the officer
to'nrry at once to 108 Bowery, where a
man had taken an overdose of cocaine. The
officer went promptly to the number given,
which is a lodging house known as the
National Hotel, where beds are rented for
25 oents a night In room four was tbe man
for .whom the officer was called. He was
sitting in a chair, with a two-ounce phial in
nlifjliogers. His eyes-were deeply sunken
and'glaring at tbe floor aronnd him, his
cheeks were pale and hollow, almost like
those of a dead-man.
Policeman Bates asked him what was in
tbe bottle. "With a sickly smile he answered,
"Cocaine," and raised the hand containing
the drug to his Ups as if he wonld swallow
all that was left of it The officer seized and
easily dragged the little bottle front the
man's nerveless grasp. .In answer to in
quiries put to him tbe dying man said his
name was. Elton Fay, and, that he had just
taken 20 grains of cocaine. Por two months
past he had been staying in the lodging
house. The night clerk who had called

Phicipsbubo, December 21. The
town of Clearfield was thrown into a state
of excitement this morning at 1 o'clock
occasioned by tbe blowing up Dill Se Mc
Pherson's grain tou'se by burglars, who, in
they efforts to open the safe, put in too big
& charge, creating an explosion that not
only wrecked the safe, but shattered the
building-, blowing out one end almost en
tirely. Buildings 'within several hundred
feet were badly shaken and hundreds of
Iieople aroused irom their slumbers by tbe
oad reports. ,
The books and valuable papers were
thrown out into tlje street, and some of them
will be almost worthless. The firm had
drawn considerable money out of the bank
during the day, and the burglars bad likely
become aware of the fact and thought it an
opportune time to ply their nefarious work,
but fortunately pearly tbe entire amount
had been paid out during the day. No clew
to the burglars has oi yet been obtained,

NitwYobk, December 21. 'When the
steamship Barraeonta, from tbe "West Indies,
boldly entered our harbor a few weeks ago,
without heeding the shrieking commands
of the Bevenue Cutter Chandler for her
to Slow up the incident had its amusing
side. But the precedent set by the Barra
coota is bearing fruit, and when the steam
ship Alarich, from Galveston, came into the
harbor to-day without 'paying tbe slightest
attention to the Chandler something had to
be done about it,
Lieutenant Smith, of the Chandler, has
sent a letter to Collector Erhardt, and tbe
matter will be laid before the
Secretary of the Treasury, and some
of these days, when a big steamship
is jauntily skipping up the bay after the
manner of the Barracoota and the Alarich,
a round shot will hit her in the stern wheel
and bring her up with a suddenness; that
will be a fearlul caution to all foreigners in
the future.
FAULT OP THE FLAGMAN,
A Disastrous and Probably Fatal Wreck on
tbe liebfgii Valley Itaad.
Bethlehem, Pa., December 21. A dis
astrous wreck occurred on the Lehigh Val
ley Bailroad at Laury's station about 0:30
o'clock this morning. The east-bound
Buffalo express, made up of four express
cars, three passenger coaches and two Pull
man sleepers, while running at the rate of
40 miles nn hour, dashed into the rear end
of a freight train entering tbe side track.
The engine turned over on its side, and En
gineer Monroemosic, of South Eajton, was
pinned by the legs under tbe boiler.
He was gotten ont three hours afterward.
His injuries will, it is believed, prove fatal.
Pireman Irvln Godley jumped and was cut
about the head and face. The platforms of
the passenger cars were broken, but no
passengers were hurt. A dozen freight cars
were demolished. The flagman of the
freight train, whose fault it was, disap

A considerable amount of other freight

was not material, but the loss on presents
and tbe grievous disappointment to hosts of
little ones, to say nothing of regret of older
ones, can never be estimated.

A prominent member of the Chinese

missing. A beautiful white girl from
Brooklyn is said to have accompanied tbe
enterprising Mongolian. He was a Snnday
school sobolar.
IRITECIAt TXLXOItAV TQ TBI PUT ATGB.I
Netv Yobk, December 31 1 Chu Pong,
the Chinese dude, the interpreter and cash
ier of Kwong Hong Long & Co., 5 Hott
street, also part owners of the big Japanese
store at 813 Broadway, who was to start a
Chinese bank a few weeks ago, has suddenly
disappeared for parts unknown with the
funds of the several Chinese firms, amount
ing, so far as' now known, to about 515,000.
It is supposed that he is in Canada. Sev
eral American merchants are also victims,
and are mourning over his disappearance.
Bach, was the immense confidence reposed
in him by the Chinese community, notwithstanding-
the faot that there was a suit of
$3,000 hanging over him in the Supreme
Court for alleged crookedness in an opium
deal, that several merchants lent him large
sums of money as he desired.
THE CHIHE3B VICTIMS.
A hurried examination of the bank no
counts of several Chinese firms revealed
that the names of the following firms had
been forged for the sums set opposite their
names: Mai Li "W, 19 Bowery, $1,000;
Sinn Quong On, 33 Mott street, $1,000;
Kwong Hong Long, 5 Mott street $5,000;
Joss House Association, $1,600; Mr. Levy,
of 10 Chatham square, $600.
Other victims are still being heard from,
as Chu Ping has many American friends
and business acquaintances who do cot yet
know of his sudden departure. He bos
taken all the cash that he could raise upon
his business at 813 Broadway, of which
place he was only a part owner, but in which
he had a controlling interest The Kwong
Hone Long firm is managed by ad uncle of
his, who is the heaviest loser of alL
A TVOMAK IIT THE CASE.
It ia further alleged that Mr. Chu Pong,
the late Berry "Wall of Chinatown, New
York, has taken with him a very pretty
American girl, on whose account, it is al
leged, many a former crookedness of Chu
Pong was traced. She was the pretty daugh
ter of a certain Brooklyn real estate man.
Who tbey are or where they live no
Chinamen seemed to know, but they all de
clare that they haye seen him with her on
many an occasion. She was also known by
several gentlemen in Howe & Hummel'a of
fice, who are Popg's attorneys in New York.
Chu Pong is ony 27 years eld, but Is of
more than ordinary size for a Chinaman.
He weighs 180 pounds, and is full-faced.
He dressed . while here in the height of
American: fashion, His itjack-hair 1
cut ihortl, aad has a feather edge. He
walks with a nodding, forward movement,
as if'he had a big corn on his toe, and some
one had stepped on it with the gentleness of
an elephant
The usual Mongolian expression is hardly
observable at a dance, but in a moment's
conversation you will at once know he is a
Chinaman.
Xlit, .ABE INTERESTED.
Every business firm in Chinatown is just
at present busily engaged in trying to find
out how , he stands with the bank,
and with Chu Pong. Many confiding
Chinese Jaundry men who appointed
him the custodian of their wealth will "Pot
learn of their cashier's disappearance until
some day wheu they come down town. It
will not be at all surprising if there is yet
some throat cutting 'or opium swallowing
among tbe latter's depositors, as most of
them are poor, hard-working men.
Mr. Chu Pong has been a fairly diligent
Sunday school scholar ever since his appear
ance in New York, some six years ago. His
entire crookedness, including that famous
opium deal, js set, down at $20,000 so far. but
that amount will probably be doubled to
morrow or Sunday, when his other
victims are heard from. As Joss is
also a victim included in this ereat swindle,
Mr. Chu. Pong's cousin, Mr. Chu Yon
Knew, tbe high priest and Chinese Mayor
who left his post of duty a few days since
for fearot impeachment for alleged com
plication with his other cousins in the
recent fantan raid at Chinatown, has been
forced to come back to settle Joss' affairs.

tSTZCIAI. TZXXOBAV TO THX DISPATCS.1
Philadelphia, December 2L While?
tbe Republican candidates for the nominal
tion for Governor have been busy declaring
their intentions, the Democratic leaders of
the State have not been idle. "William "L.
8cott, of Erie, the acknowledged champion
of Clevelandism in Pennsylvania, wno is
interested in the fight for Governor, spent a
few days in this city during the week, and
while bere looked over the situation with a
few of the local leaders of the Democratic
party, with reference to the coming meeting;
of tbo Democratic State Committee which,
is to be held at Harrisburg January 22.
Mr. Scott's visit is regarded as significant
in view of the announcement that ex
United States Senator Wallace, who is said
to be in, tbe lead for the Democratia nomi
nation for Governor, will return from Eu
rope in time to be in attendance at the State
Committee, and that be proposed taking a
band in the selection of its officers.
SCOTT FOB aUTTCHLEB.
"While Scott's friends in this city decline
to say anything regarding the object of his
visit bere, yet in well-informed circles
the story goes that Scott bas de
clared his preference for the Demo
cratic nomination, and it is said
to be Congressman William Mutchler, of
the Eighth Pennsylvania district, .which,
embraces the counties of Monroe.Northamp
ton, Pike and Carbon. Mutchler's friends
are said to be well advised as to what is
being done to make him the candidate.
The friends of Senator Wallace are in
formed of what is going on, and it is said
that steps are being taken to secure the con
trol of the State organization.
Under the ralei adopted by the last Demo
cratic State Convention, tbe State has been
divided into separate districts,each of which
will have a chairman, who will, of course,
be subservient to the regular chairman, but
who will be held responsible for the conduct
of the election in the counties of their re
spective distriets.
KISNEB'-WOULD DO.
It is said that the Wallace people will not
ooject to tne re-etection or unsirman iiisner,
although they would prefer that Benjamin
P. Meyers, ot Dauphin, or James P. Kerr,
of Clearfield, should be placed at the head
of the State organization. They will make
their fight on the district chairmanship,
claiming that the real strength of the party
organization centered therein. They appear
tobe perfectly- confident of exiSenator Waw
la'cVi "nomination for Governor, andaro
making every possible arrangement to have
the organization put into first-class: shape.
A meeting has been called for January- 9
of the present State Executive Committee,
at which it ia believed tbe subject will be
thoroughly gone over. The present mem
bers are "William L. Scott nf Erie;
Eckley B. Cox, of Luzerne; Mortimer P.
Elliott, of Tioga; Benjamin P. Meyers,
of Dauphin, J. Marshall Wright of Le
high, and James P. Kerr, of Clearfield.
Sheriff Krumbhaar. of this dtv. was 'a
member, but the new rules make Chairman
Johnson, of the Democratic City Commit
tee, his successor.

Politically speaking, the complexion of '
the present Executive Committee is said to
be in favor of Wallace's interest The
Democratic City Committee, on December
2, elected, by Senatorial districts. PhiladeW .

men. seven of the eieht members will be
found working; in sympathy wjth ex-Postmaster
Harrity's interest, while the ex
ception. Senator William McAleer. it is
I presumed, will flock by himself.
-a. wen-posted jjemocrauc leaner said to
day, in speaking on the subject: "Wallace
will get the Democratic nomination for
Governor, and will make a good fight His
friends will not fight Kisner, as they
realize that the District Chairmen will
really be the important people to elect"
Elliott P. Kisner, Chairman of the Dem
ocratic State Committee, arrived here to- M
day, and gave it out that be is attending to
business of a strictly private nature, and
that his visit had no political significance
whatever. While Mr. Kisner refused to
talk upon the subiect of his re-election, if is
generally understood that he is prepared to
make next year's fight as the head of the
Democratio State organization. .
The new disease, "Bussian influenza:"
