i Philadelphia, November 2. It is now
the day before tbe battle. A majestic spec
tacle is spread out over the map of Penn
sylvania 1,000,000 voters stand waiting for
tbe dawn of Tuesday. Divided into three
great armies, they are ready for the strug
gle. A calm precedes the storm, for the
voice of tbe stumpspcaker is bushed, and
the busy review at headquarters is over.
,It is a moment of inspiration. The un
dercurrent throbs with an intensity of feel
ing. The summer and fail of 1S90 have en
compassed a remarkable political contest in
this State. The campaign, whatever the re
sult of it may be, wilt be long remembered
si one of the most spirited in the chronicles
of politics. It has bad peculiar character
istics, some of which were not unlike those
of 18S2, one of which was the successful
efforts of the party 01 the minority to put
the party of the majority on the defensive
from the very beginning.
A Vigorous I'crnonnl Citnrnns.
For two months both Mr. Pattison and
Mr. Dclamater have conducted a vigorous
personal canvass throughout the entire
State. The hundred miles they have
traveled night and day, and the scores of
sp'eeches they have made, have exhibited on
the pari of both ma marvelous physical
and mental energT and endurance. They
-have gone, to cvenfe point of vantage, meet
ing tlSr fellow citizens face to face, dis
cussing beforcihem nil the important mat
ters at issue, and everywhere attracting
crowds of eager interested listeners.
.Speeches, addresses and appeals to the in
telligence of voters, have been the ammuni
tion of tbe campaign, and seldom, if ever
before, has a political contest iu this State
bden conducted upon lines so admirable.
As n consequence the vote of next Tuesday
should, aud, if it be fairly polled and
honestly counted, will represent a popular
verdict bised to a larger degree than usual
upon the intelligent thought and action of
the people.
Tho firon til or the lte alt.
, The revolt of republicans against Dela
mater, which appeared at first as a grain of
routtard seed, assumed shape and growth
quicklr. The discontents became well or
ganized all over the State, aud the princi
pal difference between their movement in
1882 and the present time was that then
they had a candidate of their own in the
field, and now they indorsed Mr. Pattison.
They claim that in 1882 they did not
Know Mr. Pattison. They got pretty well
acquainted with the gentleman since, and
they were wholly satisfied with him.
Tbe Independent Republicans conducted
their campaign upon a high plane of politi
cal principles, and by sagacious appeals to
the patriotism and intelligence of the peo
ple. Their public spirit and disinterested
ness cannot be questioned. George E.
Mapes, their State Chairman, has had the
aid and counsel of some of the worthiest
names in Pennsylvania.
Xo lilundcrs on That Side.
From the very beginning the Democratic
campaign has been magnificently conducted.
This year will stand out as one, at least, in
which there were absolutely no campaign
blunders by the Democrats. Harmony
marked every detail of the organization.and
the State has been most thoroughly covered.
Chairman Kerr, being a townsman of that
astute politician, Hon. William A. Wal
lace, tbe ex-TJnited States Senator, has had
his advice and assistance all along. That
Wallace shonld give that assistance, after
Pattison had defeated him in the nomina
tion for Governor, was one of the handsom
est features of the campaign. To-night ex
Senator Wallace was Dreparing to depart
for Clearfield county to vote. I laughingly
asked him if he had given up the fight.
'.Not me," he replied earnestly, "there is
too much of the Scotch-Irish spirit about me
to do that. No, sir, I honestly believe that
Mr. Pattison will be elected on Tuesday.
There is no doubt of it in my mind. Here
is the reason: Everywhere I have gone, and
everywhere my iriends have gone, the ques
tion was asked: 'Do you know of any Demo
crats who voted for Pattison in 1882 who
will not vote for him this time? Iu every
instance the answer has been 'None.'
The Reason for Ills ralth.
"Secondly, everywhere I have gone, or
everywhere my friends have gone, the ques
tion has been asked: Do you know of any
Republicans who are going to vote for the
Democratic candidate.' The answer has
been, 'We do, and they are able to tell you
of from 2 to 10 per cent of such Republicans.
Very welL Then we asked another ques
tion, viz.: Do you know of any Republicans
who do not talk, but yet are keeping their
heads low and tongues quiet?' Tne answer
has been: 'There arc plenty of them."
"So now for deductions," continued Mr.
Wallace. "From the nnity and harmony
of tbe Democratic voters, and from their
allies, the Independent Ecpublkans, It la
wholly safe to assume that Mr. Pattison
will be elected by a small majority. But
when you come to consider the Republican
element, which is keeping its head low and
its tongues quiet, you have an unknown
quantity, and if it turns in and votes for
Pattison, the result will be an ava
lanche in favor of the Democratic ticket
with a tremendous majority."
The Cold, Hard Tacts.
In a review of this kind iacts only should
be stated. It is true, therefore, to say that
in conducting tbe Republican campaign
State Chairman Andrews has had up hill
work alf fall. Besides the usual Demo
cratic opposition to contend with there was
the dissatisraction in Delamater's own
party. That led to many complications.
There have been two distinct blunders in
the Republican campaign. They were the
attack iu party organs on Governor Tatti
son's South Penn Railroad acts, and the al
leged deal with the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railroad Company for the transfer of
workingmen'8 votes for municipal fran
chise in Philadelphia.
The Times of to-day exposes what it al
leges was a most complete system of fraud
hatched out by the Republicans for the
capture of a large majority in Philadelphia.
Several other papers here allege to-day that
.iTed repeaters from Baltimore arrived in
the city Saturday afternoon and that more
are arriving by every train.
Working for an Honest ltallot.
The Democratic organs specifically men
tion the wards in which it is feared election
frauds will be tried, and the Joint Vigi
lance Committee of the Independent Repub
lican and Democratic organizations are com
missioning detectives by the score for special
work there on Tuesday.
State Chairman Andrews has at last given
his estimate of the result of the election.
He vuts Delamater's majority at from 35,000
to 40,000, and he adds: "We have the fight
won, the victory clinched, and the majority
has been steadily growing tor some time. I
have steadfastly declined thus tar to sive
out any detailed estimate of majorities, as,
unlike the Democrats and the 'Barkerites,
I do not believe in running political cam
paigns upon newspaper bluffing, and any
figures I would give out would be a fair and
truthful representation ot what our reports
show. We have everv reason to be satisfied
with the result of a very thorough and care
lul canvass ot the State."
Estimates of All Kinds.
To show how valueless are all the esti
mates ot the probable results that have
cone out from the leaders of the campaign
in this city, it is only necessary to compare
them. Chairman Andrews estimates 35,000
or 40,000 majority for Dclamiter. The
Philadelphia Press estimated 14,185.
But if the Republicans do not agree among
themselves, neither do their opponents.
State Chairman Kerr of tbe Democratic
party has not given any figures lately, but
his last estimate was 21,502 majority for
Pattison. Chairman Mapes, of the Inde
pendents, puts Pattison's majority at 30,300,
and yet again the New York 71 oWd differs
from both by making n canvass of the State
aud putting Pattison's majority at 44,700.
So at best it all seems a matter of guess
work or bluff.
Captain McClelland, of Pittsburg, who
has done some valuable clerical work at
Democratic State headquarters during tbe
past few weeks, returned home to-night.
State Chairman Kerr will go to Clearfield
to-motrow to vote. State Chairman An
drews will not go home to vote. He says
his vote will not be needed.
Candidate Pattison went to church to-dav
as usual, and seemed to be in a contented
laaat. Tj. 11. RTfiiprvr.

Philadelphia, November 3.-2 a. m.
Shortly after midnight a warrant was
sworn out for tbe arrest of Colonel John F.
Glenn, one of the leading Republican poli
ticians in this city, and a prominent em
ploye of the Bureau of Gas, on the charge of
bribing Francis Gannon, a Democratic
judge of election in the Thirty-fifth division
of the Fifteenth ward. Two direct charges
of bribery are made in the affidavit that
Gannon as judge would not give the Repub
licans any more trouble on election day than
was necessary, and that be would give
George W. Delamater 25 Democratic votes,
by changing the returns ot the election for
that division.
Fifty dollars was offered in the second
case, and the money was actually paid over
in two installments of $25 each, the final
payment being made late last night. Tne
monev was carefully preserved, aud will be
offered in evidence at tbe hearing before
Magistrate Slevin at noon to-day.
The Formal Information.
The affidavit is aB follows:
State of Pennsylvania, county of Philadel
phiaFrancis Gannon, being duly sworn ac
cording to law, deposes and says that he resides
In the rear of No. 533 North Twenty-fourth
street, city of Philadelphia, and that be is a
Judge of the Election In the Thirty-fifth
division of the Fifteenth ward of said citv, be
ing still in commission, and to tcrve at the
election to be held Tuesday next, November 4,
ISaO. That on Thursday evening. October SO,
ISM), about 7.30 o'clock, be met and was ap
proached by Colonel John F. Glenn, who re
sides at No. 2333 Brown street. In tbe
Fifteenth ward, of the city of Phila
delphia, at the corner of Twenty-third and
Green streets, at which meeting the said
Colonel John F. Glenn proposed and offered
deponent a sum of money if deponent would
not, as an election officer, give tbe Republicans
of that division any more bother on election
day than conld be avoided; and that said de
ponent, as such an election judge, should be as
lenient with Republicans offering to vote as be
could, be, tbe said Glenn, offering to give to
this deponent the sum of 60 if deponent would
give George W. Delamater. tbe Republican
candidate for Governor, 23 Democratic votes in
tbe division, moaning and intending that this
deponent
Shonld Falsify the Betnrns
bv giving George W. Delamater, tbe Re
publican candidate for Governor, 23 more
votes than ho received, thereby depriving
Robert E. Pattison, the Democratic candidate
for Governor, of that number of votes. Subse
quently, to wit, on Friday evening, October 31,
1890, at 9X10 o'clock, deponent mat tbe said
Colonel John F. Glenn by appointment at the
corner of Twentieth and Race streets, in the
citv of Philadelphia, when and where he, tbe
said John F. Glenn, banded to this deponent
the snm of $25 In cash In pursuance of tbe
agreement be bad made at tbe preceding meet
ing. The money thus given to him consisted ot
a 120 note ana a 5 note.
The said Colonel John F. Glenn and this de
ponent agreed to meet on Saturday evening,
bat a misunderstanding as to place of meeting
prevented such appointment from being kept.
On Sunday. November 2, 1890, this deponent re
ceived a note from the said Colonel John F.
Glenn fixing Sunday evening at Oo'cIocK as the
time, and tbe corner of Twenty-fourth and
Parrish streets,ln tbo city of Phlladelplii3,as the
place where they shonld meet, in Dursuanco ot
sud note to deponent. He met the Bald
Colonel John F. Glenn at the tlmo and
placo appointed, and there be was handed
the remaining 125 of tbo sum he
agreed 'to give bim In consideration
of the aid to be given toCeorge W. Delamater,
tbe Republican candidate for Governor. The
second payment of $25 consisted of two 510 notes
and a $5 gold piece. During the interview,
which was brief, tbe bald Colonel John F.Glenn
remarked to this depouent: 'I did not sign
that note 1 sent to yon to-day." Deponent
further says that the above facts were com
municated from time to time to trusted friends
who advised them that tbe money shonld be
taken ana who have advised that exposure and
prosecution shonld follow. And fnrthor de
ponent saith not Francis Bannon.
Sworn and subscribed to before me, this 3d
day of November, A. D. 189a
John Slevik, Magistrate Court No. 2d
A Prominent Itepnblican leader.
Colonel Glenn is one of the most promi
nent Republicans in the city, and has for
years been a leader in the Fifteenth ward,
one of the largest and most influential Re
publican wards, and bis arrest will create a
big sensation in political circles. Francis
Bannon, the man whom he attempted to
bribe, is a poor man, but those who have
known him for years say he is as true as
steel. As soon as he was approached he
consulted with bis friends and decidedto
lead Colonel Glenn on, and, by giving him
rope enough, allow him to haiig.himself.
A prominent member of the Democratic
Auxiliary Committee' said that arrests of
other people high up in the Republican
party would most likely follow, as there was
evidence that they had also been engaged in
similar offenses.

votes for his favorite, in the hope that a
good account from tho State capital will

and Republicans wbo have determined to

ment to cut down the large majority indi
cated for Pattison has had very little effect,
and unless a change should be wrought be
fore Tuesdiy, the latter will lead Delamater

When emerging from tbe Opera House he

AN ADDRESS BT ONE OP TBE IEADEES
New Yoek, November 2. William
O'Brien, John Dillon, Timothy Harring
ton and T. D. Sullivan arrived here this
morning by the steamer La Champagne.
They were met down the bay by a large del
egation of Irishmen on board the tug boat
John F. Moore, which was chartered by the
Irish Socialists of the City of New York.
General O'Beierne, of the barge, was in
charge of the reception arrangements.
The Champagne was sighted early in the
morning off Fire Island, and he arrived at
Quarantine shortly after 7 o'clock.
Among those on board the Moore were:
Patrick Gleason, President of the Municipal
Irish Council. National League; John Gor
man, Treasurer; ex-Judge Browne, delegates
from the Ancient Order of Hibernians,
Ancient Order of Foresters and the Irish
Home Rule Club.
PLYING ALL COLORS.
The flag which was presented by Arch
bishop Croke to the Church Emigrants' fair,
and which was won by Edward L. Carey,
of the Anti-Poverty Society, floated from
the prow of the John F. Moore. At the
stern two lines of streamers representing the
flags of all nations were displayed.
When the La Champagne was sighted Mr.
O'Brien was the first party to be distin
guished. The Reception Committee cheered
him and he waved his hat in response. Then
Mr. Sullivan came forward to the railing of
the vessel and all on board tbe tug cheered
vociferously. All the passengers crowded
to the port side of the Champagne to see
what the cheering was about, until the offi
cers of the vesselnad to order them back.
General O'Beirne went on board and he was
followed by nearly everyone else nntil the
tugboat was deserted.
A levee on boabd.
The Irish representatives held a levee on
board. They inquired for Mr. T. P. Gill,
M. P., who is stopping at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, and were told that he had arranged
to meet them in tbe Hoffman House at 2
o'clock. Mr. O'Brien was accompanied by
his wife and Mr. Sullivan was accompanied
by Mrs. Sullivan. All were in excellent
health and declared that they had enjoyed
the ocean voyage.
Mr. O'Brien, in response to congratula
tions upon his escape from the British au
thorities in Ireland, said Mr. Dillon and
himself had been six davs on a yacht before
they reached France. They were joined at
Havre by Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan and Mr.
Harrington, who sailed with them.
Mr. Sullivan was very enthusiastic at the
prospects of home rule for Ireland, and on
the way over wrote tho following poem,
which was recited:
A HURRAH FOB AMERICA,
In our good shin "Champagne"
We aro ploughing the main,
Our spirit are joyful and airy,
For we bear a command
From our dear native land
And a message from gallant Tipperary,
Hurrah for the land that's bof oro u,-u,
The friend of tbo oountry that boro us.
We'll publish IU pralso
To tbe end of our days.
And we'll sound It In song and In chorus.
Ere long o'er tho main
Shall we sail back again,
Our hoarts full of high Jubilation,
With help in our bands
For tbe patriot bands,
Who aro fighting tbo fight of our nation,
God bless all tbolr friends and sustalnors
And humble their foes and dlsdalners,
And mako happy aud bright
With all sorts of delight
The lives of our faithful campaigners,
HOME BULE VICTORIES.
Mr. O'Brion said that out of the 40 Bye
elections held in Great Britain since the as
sembling of the present Parliament 14 had
been won by tbe Gladstonian or Home Rule
party. This was a fair indication, he said,
of the feeling of the British people on tho
home rule question. He believed the
Tories would be forced to dissolve Parlia
ment sooner than they anticipated. Tbe
Government, he said, was not taking proper
measures for the relief of the famine-stricken
districts in Ireland.' It was first denied that
a famine existed, and now it was admitted
that there was deep distress in the country
by proposing measures for relief.
When the steamer landed at her pier tbe
distinguished Irishmen were driven to the
Hoffman House, where they made arrange
ments with the committees to address meet
ings throughout the country, at which sub
scriptions will be taken up for the Irish
National League.
HILL VISITS THE LEADERS.
Shortly after noon to-day Governor Hill
called on Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien at the
Hoffman House. He had a short talk with
them, and told them that his sympathv was
with tbe Irish movement. Then he signed
the address of welcome, and invited the del
egation to visit him at the capital in
Albany. Mayor Grant called a few minutes
and paid his respects. Fugent Keller, tbe
banker, and Joseph J. O'Donohue were also
among the callers.
After luncheon Messrs. O'Brien, Dillon,
Gill, Sullivan and Harrington met the re
porters, and Mr. O'Brien, who acted as
spokesman for the delegation, read an ad
dress on the situation of Irish affairs and
the purport of the visit of himself and his
fellow travelers to America, stating that
they came to America by the desire and
with the approval of Mr. Par n ell and the
Irish Parliamentary party. He said farther:
UNITY AMONG- IEISHMEN.
There is absolute unity in tbe ranks of the
Parliamentary party and among the people.
The old taunt of instability of purpose can no
longer be thrown at Ireland.
It is unnecessary to say much about onr rea-'
sons for leaving Ireland in the manner in
which we did. We were continually watched
by police and spies, and our footsteps were
dogged while In tbe country. When we took a
special train at Limerick tbe pulice took
another special train In order to keep us con
tinually in sight, Tbe conduct of tbe police
was ludicrous as well as outrageous. Yet tbey
were caucht napping. Neither bribes nor
threats Induced anyone to tell the police of our
departure, and Balfour's system of espionage
was wasted.
The Government cannot trust Its own
servants. Why, on the day before we were ar
rested Mr. Dillon wrote to me informing me
what was going to take place, although it was
supposed to be a castle secret.
BALFOUR'S GHABGES.
Balfour may attempt to brand us as crim
inals, bat would he try to have us extra
dited as such, either from France or the United
States.
Balfour has stated his intentions very plainly
in a speech in the House of Commons. His
object is to strain the tenants' defense fund
uutll he breaks it Seven thousand persons
have been evicted and 60 000 have been spent.
In view of all tbe circumstances, the condi
tion of the peasantry and tbe hostility of the
Government to any plan that would better
their condition, my colleagues and I decided to
appeal to the American- people and state our
appeal in person.
Wo waited in Tipperary so long as thero
seemed the least chance of forcing a prompt
disposal of the charge. As soon as the tactics
of the Government were onlta clear we took
leave to tumble their elaborate bouse ot cards
tfbont their ears, and we oima awav to anneal
Jjo America against Mr. Balfour's Ignoble dodge
1890.
for starving out the tenantry whom he has
failed to intimidate.
BOOKED TO BETUEN.
We will, of course, return the moment our
business here is finished. If we shall have in
the meantime secured the means of preserving
the Irish ranks unbroken nntil tbe general
election we will not grudge, Mr. Balfonr what
ever comfort he can derive irom keeping us in
'jail for our success. , ,
The essence of Tory policy in Ireland is land
purchase on the landlord's own terms. To
effect this the tenants' combination-had -to lie
stamped out. The tenant's once smashed and
disorganized, under terror of coercion, a cab
inet of landlords and landlord tribunals could
arrange the rest at will. It was with a view to
crushing the tenants' combinations that all tho
prosecutions, batonings and police outrages
took place, and it was to prevent that that the
Irish representatives came here. The mam
point at issue In Tipperary was whether we
were to be cut off from tho United States. The
Tipperary prosecutions were instituted to pre
vent onr American mission.
BELIEF MEASUEES SCORNED.
Mr. Parnell's bill proposing relief has been
scornfully rejected bytheToryGovernment, A
single winter's agitation caused the Govern
ment to eat its words. They themselves pro
posed in 1887 the bill they bad rejected by an
overwhelming majority in 1866. But nothing
would induce them to offer quarter to the
tenants whoso combination had forced this
measure of justice from them. The tenants
were placed outside the pale of the law which
their own sacrifices bad won. Tbe whole
strength of coercionfor the past fonr years bad
been directed to inflicting vengeance upon
them and utterly exterminating them by way
of warning to tbe rest ot tbe Irish tenantry.
Tbe Irish people, on the other hand, have
made these men's causes their own. Tbey
have determined at all hazards now to let them
fall a prey to the vengeance of the landlords
and coercionista. The latest and most signal
proof of this determination is the case of New
Tipperary, where tbe population of a whole
town and of two neighboring estates had given
up their estates and farms en masse rather than
let their rents be used by their landlord.
OBJECTS OF THE VISIT.
One of our chief objects in America will be
to explain tbe character of the struggles in
Ii eland and the systems of coercion in force
there. I believe Americans will be electrified
when they hear the story of Tipperary. For
the present tbe question of a national fighting
fund and the question of a charitable fund are
wholly separate. The danger of famine along
tbe western portion of the western seaboard is
unquestionably real and horrible. Nobody
with less than Mr. Balfour's capacity for heart
less jokes could affect to deny or make light
of it.
The Irish party are watching tbe situation
with tbe utmost solicitnde. Tbey have called
for a bill suspending evictions for non-payment
of rent on small holdings in tbe distressed dis
tricts. A measuro of tbts kind, combined with
a large system of public wishes and a more lib
eral administration of tbe poor laws, would go
far to avert any danger of general famine.
PROGRAMME OP THE PABTY.
The party will remain in New York until
Wednesday evening, when they will go to
Philadelphia. On Thursday evening they
will address their first meeting in the Acad
emy of Music there, at which Colonel Mc
Clure will preside. Another meeting will
he held in the same place on the night fol
lowing, at which Governor Beaver will be
asked to preside.
Two meetings will be addressed in Boston
on Sunday, and the meeting in New York
will be held on Monday evening. Governor
hill may preside at this one. T. P. O'Con
nor will arrive here on Wednesday in time
for the Philadelphia meeting. A meeting
will bo held in Jersey City, on November
12, and one in Newark, on November 14.
After this the delegation will divide into
pairs and address meetings throughout the
country.
AN EVENINO BECErilON.
This evening the Parliamentary Fund
Association gave a reception to the dele
gates at tho Hoffman House. About 200 In
vited guests were present. Among them
were Eugene Kelly, Hon. Robert Roosevelt,
Judges Morgan J. O'Brien and Fltzirerald,
Mayor Grant, ex-Mayor Grace, Bourke
Cockran, General O'Bcirno and President
Gleason, of tbo Municipal Council of tbe
National League.
The address of welcome was read by
Jnmcl A. O'Gonrman, and each of the
delegates nude a brief speech. Mr. Dillon
dwell briefly upon the situation in England
and Ireland, laying particular stress upon
tbe crisis that is at band. He made a
stirring appeal for aid, and pictured the
condition of bis own constituency, the poor
est in Ireland. Tbe potato crop, ho said,
was a total failure. It was a question of
life and death there.
Mr. O'Brien said that he asked that his
men be not struck down in the last bour of
a winning battle, when American hearts
and purses could save them. T. D. Sullivan
said he took pride in saying "he was a pro
claimed criminal." He said sympathy for
his cause was growing in England. Preju
dice was passing away.
WOMAN AGAINST WOMAN.
Flcrco Fight in a Fomalo Medical College
Over Caps and Gowns.
ISFECIAL TELXOUAU TO TUB DISPATCH.I
Philadelphia, November 2. There is
a fierce war waging among the students of
the Woman's Medical College as to whether
caps and gowns shall be used as a gradua
ting costume. For years past the question
has been discussed, but uutil the present
session there has always been a clear major
ity of those who thought the costume too
"mannish." The college bulletin board
has been an important instrument in the
fight. One side wonld paste a notice, and
immediately it would be covered with one by
the opposing faction. Notices of meetings
to protest were replaced with notices for
adoption. At last the friends of the gowns
adopted an argument which did much for
their side. The'photograph of a handsome
woman dressed in cap and gown was framed
and hung up on the board. It showed a
womanly woman with features well defined,
and even the most hitter could find no
objection to her appearance.
The fight has been productive of much ill
feeling, for each faction has been relentless
in its persecution of the other. College
chums have separated, and the erstwhile
warm friendships have been supplanted by
a coolness which borders closely on to en
mity. Finally on Friday night last a
meeting of tbe college association was held,
and after a bitter straggle caps and gown?
won.

BOONVILLE, Mo., November 2. Johp
O. Turlington, the man who shot Sheriff
Cranmer dead last summer and escaped
from jail, made his escape again last night
in a most mysterions way. He had been
convicted of the Cranmer murder and was
under death sentence. Two special depu
ties were engaged to guard him and they
watched him night and day. Turlington
was locked up and asleep in his cell last
night This morning the guard on duty at
the cell door saw that Turlington was slow
in arising.
He called him, bnt the man in the bunk
did not answer. He unlocked tbe cell and
discovered that the figure in the bed was a
stuffed man and that Turlington was gone.
It appears that Turlington picked the lock
of bis cell while the guard was asleep, and,
gaining the corridor, sawed the bars at the
window and escaped. A posse is now after
him.

TEEINDUSTEIAI, DISTEESS IN GERMAN!
IBT DUNLAF'S CABLE COMFANT.l
Beelin, November 2. Ten thousand
kilos of American pork, unlawfully im
ported into Germany by way of Holland,
have been confiscated at the custom houses
in Eiierich and Aix-La-Chapelle, and will
be sold to-morrow, after being soaked in
kerosene, to make them unsalable and unfit
for consumption. This is done in spite of
tbe glaring fact that hundreds of thousands
ot the poor in this country are unable to buy
meat on account of the existing high prices.
This question is becoming of vital import
ance in this country, and is likely to lead to
important consequences even in the domain
of politics.
Bavaria, Saxony, Baden and Wurtem
burg, which together command the same
number of votes as Prussia in the Bundes
ratb, have combined to sanction the impor
tation of Austrian and Russian meat as
soon as the Parliamentary session openfl.
This action on their part is likely to compel
the resignation of the Minister of Agricul
ture, Herr Lucius, in view of his notorious
alliance with the partisans of a high tariff
on meat and breadstufis. '
INDUSTRIAL DISTRESa
German Textile Workers Thrown Out of

IBT DUNLAP'S CABLE COMFAJIT.l
Berlin, November 2. The situation in
the Kennitz districts, which are, perhaps,
more affected tban any others by the Mc
Kinley tariff, is becoming more critical
every day, chiefly in consequence of
the
manuiacturers looush policy
many years past of playing the
part of the mouse depending on one little
hole. Now that the little hole, or, in this
case, that American market, is closed to
them they are trapped, and starvation stares
them in the face. Tbe great majority of
the factories of tbe textile industry are only
working with half their usual force, and
tbey all anticipate being compelled to stop
work sooner or latter for some months.
The 1,500 weavers of Neurode, Silesia,
who have hitherto been kept in full employ
ment by Berlin firms, have now been noti
fied that tbey must take a two mouths' va
cation, as their employers have not received
the usual orders. This is dreadful news
coming on top of the announcement that the
price ot coal, meat, flour and other provis
ions is steadily increasing in accordance
with the stipulations of the high tariff laws
which were enacted under the old Bismarck
ian regime, and have not yet been repealed.

BT DDKLAP'S CABLE COKFAMY.
Berlin, November 2. Westphalia has
heretofore been considered free from the bane
of abject poverty, with tbe excep
tion, at least, of tbe mining districts,
but we have now received a re
port which odtdocs everything previ
ously heard of, even in the typhus-stricken
districts which are ruled by the Duke of
Ralibor. Westpballa sends every year 700
men, women and children to the colony for
epileptics at Bethea. and pays 170,000
marks for their maintenance. Statistics
show that this terrible disease ii brought on
by insufficient, or poor quality of food.
In view of these heartrending faots,
the question is pertinent whether nothing
can bo done to relieve Westphalia of this
yearly growing affliction, and it has been
pointed out that the revenue spent by the
Government in supplying tbe sick poor of
tho Province, if capitalized, wonld be suffi
cient to combat the causes of this disease.
At the present time tbe colony of Bethea
consists of 2,000 epileptics, of whom 700 are
Westpbalians.

Berlin, November 2. For a long time

been engaged in a sort of campaign to dis
suade our leading merchants and manu
facturers from taking any interest in the
projected World's Exposition in Chicago.
They have of late enforced their argu

ers to retaliate by their abstention
upon the authors of the McKinley tariff.
At first little attention was paid to the
diatribes of this portion of the press, but
now the PoUlische NachrichteT, a high

has commenced harping upon the same theme

SECRETS LAID BARE.
THE GRANDDAUGHTER OF BLENNERHAS
SET, OF AARON BURR FAME,
Petitions to Have Her Name Changed to
Theresa Blennerhasset Adams Her
Husband Was Killed and the marriage
Never Disclosed Thought to he Single.
St. Louis, November 2. An extraordi
nary case has developed through the filing
of an application for change of name by
"Miss Theresa Blennerhasset, a member of
the historical family of that name. The pe
titioner is the daughter of Richard S. Blen
nerhassett, the youngest son of the Blenner
hassett, of Burr conspiracy fame.
She states in her petition that October 10,
1877 at Oddin, III., she was married to John
Calvin Adams and she lived with him until
November, 1881, bnt at tbe instance of her
family she kept her marriage a secret. Her
husband was killed a few weeks after the
marriage, and so still, at the solicitation of
her family, she continued to be known as
Theresa Blennerhassett. In August, 1872,
a female child was born who was always
known ai Mary Blennerhassett.
Petitioner says her mother and all the
other members of her family are doad save a
twin brother and her family patronymio is
a historio name of which she. Is justly
proud. Moreover, she has acquired property
since her husband's death, tbe title of which
is invested , in her maiden name of Theresa
Blennerhassett. She prays the court to fix
and establish her legal namo as Theresa
Blennerhassett Adami.
The story back of this petition is ro.
mantic. Theresa Blennerhassett, in spite of
tbe bitter opposition of her relatives, fell in
love with Adams, who was n traveler for a
St. Louis business house. She went on an
ostensible visit to relatives at Oddin, and
there met and married her lover and to
gether they went on a flying trip to tbe
East. She returned to her home on account
of tke sudden illness of her mother, and
arranged with her husband to follow herjln
three weeks He did so, hut was thrown
from the train by an accident and killed.
The world was ignorant of the clandestine
marriage. The advent of the child was
kept a secret, and Theresa Blennerhasset in
due time announced that she bad adopted a
little girl. Her child hag grown up in
ignorance of her true relation to her foster
mother, and is now a beantiful girl of 18.
Tbe present proceeding, which lays bare a
family secret, Is brought as much to protect
the girl and Insure her unclouded title as it
is to satisfy tbe mother's longings to have
her legal status defined. Theresa Blenner
hassett is now CO years old, and has always
been looked upon as an old maid.

New Obleans, November 2. The Hen

Rocce, generally known among the Italians
as Father of the Colony, for all the societies,
social, benevolent, industrial and military,
to join this movement, so as to strenzthen

purposes assigned for tbe federation is to
co-operate with the authorities in stamping
out the Mafia and to get rid of all undesira
ble Italians wbo have taken refuge in this
country. The federation will also raise
funds to establish an Italian library here
and to increase the number of Italian
schools, there being one already here sup

Thegrtleman, in asking for replies, said:
"I would like to have the oninion of mv
friends and associates in the 1882 fight, which,
certainly resulted in the accomplishment of
our object at that time, viz., the regenera
tion of the Republican party. Send ma
your views in regard to the relative merits
of the two candidates, Delamater and Patti
son, your ideas concerning, the position of
the two great parties they represent, and the
possible outcome in your town and county."
THE CONDITIONS UNCHANGED.
The first reply was from Edgar Hale,
Esq., of Titusvllle. It is brief and 'to the
point, as follows:
Cannot vote Delamater. 1 think Titusvllle
will give Pattison a small majority; Crawford
county a small majority for Delamater. I
think the position the same now as in tSSZ
boodle versns brains.
George W. Merrick, Esq., of Wellsboro, a
member of the Tioga connty bar, sends a long
reply, which is characterized by a decided
strain of hnmorous sarcasm. Among other
things he says:
As one phao of the case look, for instance,
at tbe United States Senate. What more
conld be reasonably asked In the way of ad
vanced and enlicbtened statesmanship? Other
States mav take a Jnst pride in a Sherman,

This has been derisively called a "machine.''
Is it not rather a model political Institution,

Its own mtnd, bold to execute audacity has
become a political virtne. Caucus and conven
tion nave become doad formulas. A few
blowers and strikers can do all that business
for us. not only with neatness and dispatch. but
with the precision and effectiveness of a guillo
tine. Dr. Charles M. Matron, of Brookville,
Jefferson county, writes:
There is a great deal of dissatisfaction In onr
county, and a very active Independent Repub
lican has told me that be knows of 85 Repub
licans in the borough of Brookville who will
vote for Pattison. lhrouzh tbe county there
Is considerable dissatisfaction. I think enongh
to reduce the normal Republican majority,
which is about TOO, to very much less, and
probably obliterate it altogether. I have never
seen mora strenuous efforts made In a political
campaign to retain or increase tbe Republican
majority. Tbe influence of much money has
been added to personal appeal to insnra tbe
usual Kepublican majority. As to myself. I
could not possibly do else than vote for Patti
son. and while I did not think it necessary for
me to take so active a part as I did in lSS2.it
was because I felt certain of Pattison's elec
tion from tbe first.
COMPARISON OP TWO CABEEBS.
D. C. Irish, of New Castle, criticises the
Junior Senator's career at considerable
length, compares the character ot the two
candidates, eulogizes Governor Pattison's
administration, and, after stating that a
great number of Lawrence county Republic
ans will vote for Mr. Pattison, concludes by
saying: "If this Government is to be main
tained it seems to me that patriotic men will
have to vote more for country and less for
party."
John C. Rcid, Esq., of Clarion, says he is
opposed to boss rnle, and is therefore for
Pattison, who was tried and made a good
Governor. Continuing, he says:
There Is not much politics in it. So far as X
have met tbe old Independents they feel as I
do, and I And many who were not with us then
are anti-Delamater now. Almost every Re
publican farmer I speak to is opposed to Dela
mater. Wherever there are Grangers or Al
liances they are solid against him.
J. S. Nesbit, of Indiana, speaks out in aa
unmistakable manner. He says:
I believe the situation is now mora lerfoaf
and threatening to tbe life ot tbe Republican
party tban it was in 1SS2. The most ardent Re
publican cannot but admit that Delamater was
not tbe choice of tbe majority of tbe party, and
to be forced to vote for that nomination simply
to vindicate and allow one man to own a Gover;
nor is not, to my mind. Republicanism. This
strongly Republican county has always been
loyal to tbe ticket, but f mm what 1 hear I be
lieve there are many good Republicans wbo will
either scratch Delamater or vote solid for Pat
tison. MAD MECHANICS
