But little over a weik now intervenes before the voters of Ohio will determine the rcult of this most important campaign. 'While hoth parties are expected to strain every nerve between now and election day nothing of a very sen sational nature is anticipated, and the con test will be tettled upon the issues as they stand to-day. The Republicans, both the leaders and the rank rnd file, are confident that they lave a sweeping victory in sight. The reasons for the faith that is in them are plainly set forth Ohio is a Republican State, and the Republican party is now harmonious and united. The Contest in tfhich party line were most closely drawn in the past decade was that of October, 1SS4. Only State officers were then chosen, hut the issue": were entirely ot a national character. The Democrats conducted a most vigorous cant ass, while Blaine and Logan stumped almost eery county. The result was the election of the Republican ticket by a plurality of 11,000, which is about the lowest figure ever reached when the lines were drawn taut. The normal Republican majority is nearer 20,000. It was about this in 1SSS. McKinley Has a Magnificent Start. Starting, then, with 20,000 votes to the good, and no apparent defection in their own ranks, the Republican leaders point with glee to the personal opposition toGov ernor Campbell in Hamilton county, and the division of opinion upon the silver question in the Democratic carv JjAth of these they regard as leatures which are cer tain to be a positive help to the Republican ticket. Add to this the fact that the party is thoroughly organized, that there has been no lack of funds, and that Major McKinley and the other protection orators have been received with the utmost enthusiasm every where, and you have the reasons which lead many of the managers to predict that the majority will ris-e to 30,000. Some en thusiasts talk of a still higher .figure. The Democratic claims do not rest upon any such tangible and sharply-defined ground". There are two things upon which they mainly depend, and which cannot be measured until after the votes are counted. In the first place Campbell and his adher ents fondly cherish the rainbow idea that a majority of the people of the State have be come tired of the tariff, and if the battle can bo decided on this issue, that a popular up rising would insure the Governor's re-election. ESect of the New Voting Plan. Thr Australian ballot system is to be tried for the first time, and this is the other feature upon which the Democrats place reliance. Thcyaseri than particularly in the btnail manufacturing towns voters in the mills and factories hae hitherto been intimidated and forced to cast their ballots as their emplojers diciattd or be thrown out of work. The new method is depended upon to s,top this alleged practice and re sult in a net gain for the Democracy. In addition attention is tilled to the fact that the present Evecuth e of the State has been warmly received during his stumping tours, even when in Republican strong holds, and that he appears to have made a most favorable impression. The Democrats are lorccd to admit that all of these features are of a 'vague and uncertain character, but hope to find them a vivid reality on Novem ber 3. At all events they will continue the contest to the end, and leave the rest with Providence. Confidence of the Republicans. Republican leaders dissect these Campbell claims in a very vigorous manner. They say that there is no dissatisfaction on the tariff within the party ranks, and that the attacks upon tin plate and wool will be sources of strenth rather than weakness. As to the Australian ballot, they are confident that McKinley will hold his own at least, relying upon the intelligence of the voters to unravel the complications of the new sjstem in a satisfactory maunpr. Then there is the People's ticket to be considered. The leaders of the old parties are practically unanimous in the view that the new movement will not affect the situa tion to any great extent. A conservative estimate would place the vote of this organ ization at 25,000. Some enthusiasts think it will go over 30,000, whilo many old timers refuse to concede more than 15,000. Of the probable 25,000 one-half may be cred ited to the faithful squad of Ohio Green backers, who have for years kept persist ently aloof from both the regular organiza tions. There is little prospect of either part gaining or losing much in the other 12,300 votes which will be cast for Farmer Ssltz. Prohibitionists Not So Plenty. The Prohibitionists have a full libt of nominees in the field, but their campaign ha hardly been comhictcd "with even its usual energy. A falling off in the cold cater vote is therefore predicted. It has t times reached 25.000. hut 15,000 will be nearer the mark this j ear. The Republi cans expect to profit somewhat by this de- J crease, but it is a very uncertain feature upon which to place much dependence. A caretul consideration of these facts and figures hows that nothing but a popular and widespread change of heart can re-elect Governor Campbell and defeat Major Mc Kinley. The Democratic managers profess to believe that there is going to be a stam pede to their free trade candidate, but the Republican leaders are more than confident that their hopeful opponents will watch and wait in vain. A great deal of interest is taken in the legislative contest, but it is generally he lieved that as goes the Governojgo'will the Legislature. There is only ofiething which disturbs this view. In Oljiothe Senators and Representatives arelectcd by districts, as in Pennsylvauiaand other States. Each county elects tHe number to which it is en titled in a lamp. Hamilton, including Cin-cinnatij-rnas about a dozen members to choose; The Doubtful Legislative Folnt. Some Democrats think that while Camp- Lb'eii will be beaten badlv in the county the A legislative ticket will be successful. The fact that the Veteran Republicans have a seperate ticket in the field in Hamilton alone lends some color to this idea. In cae then, that the result was anything like close in the balance of the State, this big delegation is relied upon to turn the Ecale, and give a Democratic legislature, carrying with'it the election of a United States Senator. Sot in many years, however, has there been a Legislature of different polit ical faith from the Governor, and McKinley is sure he will be backed by a Republican assembly. On the other hand if Campbell should by any chance pull through the body is practically certain to be Democratic. The Senatorial contest in the Republican ranks is an interesting one. At the start it seemed that Foraker was going to carry everything before him in his usual hurrah style", but the indications of late have been favorable to Sherman. The conservative element demands his re-election. How ever the fiery ex-Governor stilLhas a strong hold upon the "'boys," and ths contest is by no means ended yet. With all theseimportant features at stake it is no wonder that the nation at large will eagerly watch for the returns from Ohio on the night of November 3. Bancroft. REDEMPTION OF IOWA. KEPCBI.ICANS CONFIDENT THET WILI. CARRY THE STATE. Governor Boles Is Making a Strong Fight, lint Is Met by a Galaxy of Protection Orators The Party Is Thoroughly Or ganized and Enthusiastic Dubuque, Oct. 25. Special The hard est fought political campaign ever known in Iowa is nearly over. In less than two weeks shall be heard the pop of a burst political bubble and the ambitious politi cians of the future will be warned not to venture out too deep, like wanton Boies who swim on blad ders out far bevond their depth. The partial victory achieved at the last Guber natorial election has inspired the Democrats with hope and given them a fighting chance for victory. On the other hand, the fact that the head of the Republican ticket last time was defeated, has put a sting into the side of every loyal Republican, and with a political election staring them in the face, the partv is almost certain to roll up one of its old-time majorities. Governor Boies, the Democratic candidate for re-election, is a renegade Republican and somewhat rjew to politics, thonghin manv wars shrewd and cunning. ,He mado "his first mistake when at tkr dfyiner ot the Tariff Reform League in New York City he delivered his famons speech on the condi tion of the Iowa farmers, wherein he stated that they were losing money every year raising corn, which nas alwavs been" the chief product of this State. This slander has not only done the State of Iowa harm, but has practically killed the chances of Boies for re-election. Governor Boies himself, is making a vigorous campaign. He is delivering many speeches throughout the State, but has everywhere had to meet such eloquent and powerful speakers as Senator Allison, Gen eral Goff, of West Virginia; General George A. Sheridan, ot New York, and Congress man David B. Henderson, of this eity. Neverin the history of the Republican party has the organization been so thorough and complete as it is to-day. In every town ship and in every ward in the State there exists a strong club of working Repub licans. As before stated a score of eloquent speakers have canvassed the entire State and the feel that nothing that Democracy can do within the next two weeks will be able to endanger the certain victory. POLITICS KILLING THE ALLIANCE. Ex-President McGrath Says the People's Party Is Its Rnlnatlon. Topeka,Kax.,OcL25. Special Prank McGrath, President of the Farmers' Alli ance, who was defeated for re-election at Salina, Friday, returned to this city to-day. He is feeling very sore over lis defeat, and gave out numerous secrets of the organiza tion, which show that he intends to mlce war upon it. "The politicians with in the Alliance," said he, "are Killing it. Ever since the People's party sprang into existence our members have been decreasing. Last year the books of the secretary showed we had a membership of 140,000. The present membership is not over 60,000, and the farmers are becoming lukewarm. "What the Alliance, needs is men of brains, and this it has not got. The Vincent crowd of free lovers and atheists who are striving for control in the Alliance run the political end of the machine. Bid die, who has been elected president, has no independence of character, and will listen to no one. If the. Vincent crowd are his advisers he will kill the organization in one year. The farmers are tired of the old political hacks, and their patience is well nigh exhausted. President McGrath said it was a good thing for the order that he was defeated, as hew ould go home and w ork for its success, while the men who had been fighting him would have fought the organization had he been re-elected. "I wish to impress upon jou that I am still loval to the organiza tion," he continued, "but I wish to reclaim it irom the politicians who are draggiug it down." The "Vincent crowd" to which McGrath referred, comprises the union labor ele ment, which has a majority in the People's party. Jeiry Simpson, who accompanied McGrath irom Sahna, admitted that inter est in the Alliance as a business organiza tion was dying out, but said that politically it was becoming stronger every day. AMERICTJS BOYS ROASTED. A Democratic Paper Sails Into Members or the Clnb. Under the caption of "A Cowardly Car," a Cleveland Democratic paper yesterday tells how a member of the Amcricus Club struck John Wilcox, a newspaper man, at the Forest City Hotel Saturday evening. According to their account Wilcox, who was invited to take supper with Congress man Tavlor, w.-s standing in the lobby of the hotel. Several members of the Americus Club ww.s present. Mr Wilcox made some funny remarks about the tariff, when, it is claimed, one of the men, wear ing a white hat, struck him a powerful blow on the face. The naner then rrv,l to attack the entire club, and charges the mem- bers with suppressing the name of the of fender. The latter reflection is untrne, and there was no combined effort on the part of 'the Americus boys to shield any body. The Dispatch correspondent with members of the club heard it rumored late in the evening that one of the fellows had gotten into a row with a Cleveland news paper man. Mayor Logan, Frank Kohler William Brown, and another members had heard the report, but thsy couldn't say whether it was true or riot A number of the ciuhWen were asked about the affair, bcfTuey didn't know who was the man, or "how much he was to blame. The Dispatch man can testify that there was no preconcerted effort to sup press the name, and the boys hoped the rumor wasn't true. Regrets were expressed on all sides if anything disgraceful had occurred. The paper winds up its partisan roast by hoping "for the peace and dignity of Cleveland that its members may never come again." The "Dispatch man can add that this statement also is very unjust. The members of the Americus Club are gentlemen, and Cleveland has no cause to complain about their behavior. The Amer icus boys, however, were not very well pleased" with their reception. DIED LIKE A MAD DOG. THE PASTEDR TREATMENT FA1XS TO CORE HYDROPHOBIA. Horrible Pate of a Southern Railroad Ma chinistSent Homo From the Institute Warranted Cared Only His Paroxysms or Pain Were lessened. Columbia, S. C, Oct. 25. Special In July last Robert Morton, employed in the Richmond and Danville Rairoad shops, this city, was attacked on the street by a huge mad dog, thrown to the gronnd and terribly bitten about the arms and hands. The wounds were cauterized and a madstone ap plied, and immediately Mr.Morton's fellow workmen raised a purse to send him to the Pasteur Institute in New York, where he took a regular treatment, and returned to his home, with the assurance of the physi cian in charge that he had been cured. The first symtoms of hydrophobia ap peared while Morton wns on his engine, last Friday night. He felt a sudden pain in the arm which had been bitten, and a sickness in the stomach. Saturday morning Morton began to pant like a dog that had run a long distance, and white and green foam fell from his lips. He suffered internal agony, saying his sides, where lie 'had been inocnlated, were in fearful pain. At times he would draw himself up and raise his body on all fours, but as soon as spoken to, would lie down, the incessant panting continuing, meanwhile. With all this he retained wonderful self-control, piteously begging every one not to touch him, being fearful of the harm he might do them. He died in in tense agony. Morton remained at the Pastenr Institute 15 days, receiving inoculations in his sides twice a day while in New York. He woke several times to find himself trying to bite Lhis half brother, with whom he was sleep ing. Morton s iamuy severely condemn the treatment, and it is currently stated that the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers intend taking some offici.il action. The patient had internal spasms and turned from water. Had he been less exhausted he might have lived 48 hours longer. As to the Pasteur treatment the attending physician says: "'t certainly failed in this case, but undoubtedly modified the symptoms. Ho was not as violent as he would have been, without it" A STEAMER'S RACE WITH THE SUN. The Boat Was Beaten, Bnt Only by About Three Mlantes. . - New Yoke, Oct, 23. Specuil The Cunard steamship Etruria, queen of the single-screw fleet, made a wonderful four hour run at the end of the protracted voy age she finished at this port this evening. Her commander, Captain Hains, determined at mid-day to make a brave effort to get her into quarantine before sunset, go she could land her 495 cabin passengsrs to-night. Agent Vernon H. Brown, of the Cunard line, was at quarantine wait ing for the Etrnria. He persuaded the health officer to wait a few minutes after the sunset gun boomed, assuring him the ship would be there before dark. She was 84 knots from Sandy Hook at noon. Bets were made in the cabin that the snn would vanish behind the Jersey hills before the Etruria's nose was inside the Narrows. The sun won by just three minutes, but the health officer was willing to wait three minutes, so the cabin passengers all got the first really enjoyable meal they had had for a week. Dr. Hamilton Griffin, Mary Anderson's stepfather, was a passenger on the Etruria. He said Mrs. de Navarro had definitely de cided never to return to the stage. She has become infatuated with domestic life. She is very well. The Rt Rev. Bishop Gillow, of Mexico, Mr. Thomas Baring and Mrs. Lawrence Barrett were also passengers on the Etruria. CARTER HARBISON AN EDITOR. Chicago's Celebrated Politician to Conduct a Daily Paper. Chicago, Oct 25. ISpecial' Carter Harrison is ambitious to be an editor, and now he has found a way. Soon after his de feat for the Mayoralty last spring negotia tions were opened, with the Chicago Times Company for the purchase of the Timet, and they have so far advanced that it is reported that next wpek Mr. Harrison will assume editorial control of that paper. The new editor was found at his residence, resting after a ride to Jackson Park on his Kcn tuckv mare. "I have been told that within a week I will have absolute control of the Times," he said to-day to a Dispatch representative. "I have not purchased the naper." "What will be the policy of the Times un der your management?" "It will be for good government and for Democracy. The TitrUs, if I control it, will have no friends to serve, no enemies to pun ish, no hobbies to ride nor axes to grind. It will give all the news, while excluding everything that is improper and unreada ble." "Will you write editorials?" "I will when I feel like it If I control the paper, of course I will not be required to work. I will merely have to shape the policy of the paper." WHITMAN IN BAD SHAPE.

I JEALOUSY OF BBAINE Si Brings Ont Boldly the Claim by tho President's Friends That HARRISON FOUNDED RECIPROCITY. General Boynton Starts. a Boom for the White House Candfdate. MORE RUMORS OP CABINET CHANGES rSPICIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.! Washington, Oct 25. The return of Secretary of State James G. Blaine to Washington, after an absence of 24 weeks, has started the fall season of gossipand the politicians will be actively engaged from now on in attempting to ascertain the exact relations existing between the President and the Secretary of State, and the fulure political intentions of both. The call-which Mr. Blaine made at the White House last evening, an hour after he had arrived at his residence, has giyen rise to much specu lation, and the rumor has been in circula tion all day at the clubs and hotels, that at the conference in the Red Room politics were talked of as much as the questions of Mr. Blaine's health and the interesting routine business of the State Department. Indeed, the report has been going the rounds rather persistently that Mr. Blaine made a very important announcement to the President, last night; that it was to the effect either that the Secretary of Stato would retire to private life within the next two weeks, or that he assured the President he held no political aspirations and would re main in office and do what lies in his power to assist in the renomination of Harrison. HLAINE WON'T TALK POLITICS. If it be a fact that iS-. Blaine made either of these statements to the President, no proof is obtainable. Secretary Blaine absolutely refuses to talk for publication except to say that he is in actual good health, a statement that is well borne out by his appearance, and no politicians from whom the truth might be obtained have yet talked with either the President or Blaine. For the present, therefore, the future course of toe Secretary of State must re main a matter of conjecture. But whatever the intentions of Mr. Blaine are. whether he is to retire from tho cabinet to become a Presidental candidate, or whether he is to remain true to Harrison, the fact is undisputed that the President nas formally entered the field. Following close upon the heels of Mr. Blaine comes to-day the formal opening of the Harrison campaign, and it comes in an interesting way. The long existing jealousy felt by the President and his friends for the Secre tary of State, because of the credit so fully given to the latter by the people for the benefits of the reciprocity policy of the administration, has been made a matter of publio knowledge, and apparently with the sanction of the President BOXNTON BOOMING THE PJIESIDENT. The evidence of this jealousy, which was first expressed in one of the periodicals with which Russell Harrison is connected, is presented to-day in an article published in the Washington Fast, edited by ex-Postmaster General Frank Hatton, and over the initials of General H. V. Boynton. who recently severed his connection with the Cincinnati Commercial-Qjizclte, after having served that paper ably atid honorably for a quarter of a century. Oae of the reasons why General Boynton left the paper is said to be that under'the new JnanagementJs, to De a moicai xiaine orgau, ana, as Jipyn ton "had "been for' "several years one bF Blaine's open fighting enemies, as Hatton has been, he preferred to retire. General Boynton, moreover,, is an intf mate personal and political friend of the President, and has been consulted by him constantly on publio matters. Manv arti cles in defense of the administration, or calling attention to Its creditable achieve ments, havo been penned by Boynton, some of them being "i;spired." The article pub lished in the Post to-day, therefore, has at tracted wide attention, qnd is accepted gen erally in Washington as the opening gun of the Harrison campaign for renomina tion. HARRISON CREDITED WITH RECIPROCITY. The article is headed "Politicians of Reci procity," and is a cleverly executed at tempt"to give the entire credit of the reci procity policy and its results to President Harrison, and not to Secretary Blaine. In fact, it is plainly charged that Blaine was in iavor of a system of treaties to accomplish that which is now being accomplished by the reciprocity clause of the McKinley tariff act, that clause, according to General Boynton's article, being the godchild of President Harrison and not Secretary Blaine. The publication gives a detailed state ment of the steps taken to bring about the reciprocity legislation. It points out that the President first brought the subject to the attention of the people July 31, 1888, shortly after his nomination, in an address to citizens of Indiana. The article then says: One of the first compilations made for the President at the Treasury .Department was ono presenting full aud elaborate statistics of the trade between the United States and Central and South America. When Congiess met he had a plan of recimoolty which he presented to some of the Republican lead ers. When the subject began to be seriously considered there wore two distinct plans under consideration one the President's, the other Mr. Blaine's. The -Piesldcnt ad vocated tho abolition of the suirur duties, so tli.it our people might be immediately. re lieved from $50,000,000 taxation on an article, of universal use. Coupled with this ho pro posed discretionary legislation, which would allow him to restoio the sugar duties at the end of a year upon the sugar product, coffee tea and hides of those countries which should refuse to enter into leciprocal trade airangcment3 with the United States. DirFEREXCE BETWEEN THE TWO PLANS. Mr. BUino's plan contemplated retaining tho sugar duties as a basis to tiade on in leaching reciprocal agiccments. This ho regarded as an essential to his plan. In pic scnting his views upon the w hole sublcct to the President, in tho letter of June 19, 1S90, which was transmitted to tho Senate, Mr. Blaine closed as follows: "Of course the ex changes involved in' these propositions wouldbe rendered impossible if Congress, in its wisdom, should repeal the duty on sugar by direct legislation instead of allow the same object to bo attained by the reciprocal arrangement sug gested." The day betoie this letter was written Senator Pierce intioduced an amendment to the pending tariff bill, which he informed his friends in the Senate em bodied tho Presitlent's plan of leciprocity. The discussion among those Republicans in charge or the tariff measure immediately proceeded upon the relutive merits of the method by treaty, with the retention of suzar duties, and the President's plan of abolishing the duties joined witlrthe discre tion to lestore the duties wheie there was a refusal to enter by direct agieement into re ciprocal trade. The President next met these Republicans in conference, and the re sult was tho Aldrich amendment, made known as section 3 of the McKinley tariff law, which. It is claimed, is but an elabora tion of the Pierce amendment offered at the President's suggestion. BLAINE CALLED AS A WITNESS. After thus making it clear that it was President Harrison's policv that was adopted, General Boynton calls Secretary Blaine as a witness to the fact bv quoting a Washington dispatch written by one of the closest iriends of Blaine in the newspaper profession, T. C. Crawford, in which direct testimony in Harrison's favor is given. Having disposed of this task, a stab is given to the pretensions of Secretary Blaine that he is entitled to the credit for the reci procity benefits in the following closing paragraphs: Had reciprocity been relegated to the PITTSBURG, MONDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1891. method by treaty, it is clear that its accom plishment would still be far in the future. Treaties might have been negotiated be tween the passage of the McKinley bill and this time, Tiut tuev would have required, first, latiflcatlon, and second, legislation by the next Congress, to carry their levenne features in effect before reciprocity could bo finally secured. There is no doubt that the swift object of this first formal Harrison campaign docu ment is to throw 'cold water upon the Blaine boom that was at white heat last summer, and which is now breaking out afresh in the interest of the ambitions of the White House candidate. President Harrison is aware that with the return of Blaine and the resumption of his public duties to morrow the pent-up enthusiasm will be re awakened, and he undoubtedly felt some thing must be done to head off this move ment. In taking the first step in this di rection he has at least given notice that the Blaine boomers will have to fight the Presi dent of the United States and the friends of his administration. EGAN EMBARRASSED. HIS INSTRUCTIONS LEAVE niM WORSE OFF THAN KVER. No Charges Against the Chilean Police Whatihe Evidence So Tar Proves No Vessels Ordered to Valparaiso Since the Trouble. WASniNGTON.Oct. 25. Special. Word was received here to-day from Valparaiso that the instructions sent to Minister Egan have greatly embarrassed that already much embarrassed gentleman, who, according to the news, appears to think the trouble could have been easily adjusted when once under stood. The inquiry into the affair is in prog ress. Judge Foster, who presides at the in quiry, is a son of Julio Foster, Secretary of the Representatives of the Junta, in this city. Judge Foster is a North American by parentage on his father's side, and is said to have a feeling of the warmest friendship for the United State. The evidence so far elisited, and so far as can be found out, shows Hhat the row began over liquor in a saloon between two seamen of the Baltimore and some Chileans. Hot words were spoken, and a Chilean was knocked down bv a sailor of the Baltimore. This precipitated a small riot, during which the United States sailors were killed and wounded. No charges are made against the police by the North Americans, and if any of the Baltimore's men were wounded by police bayonets it was in the effort of the police to "separate the combatants. All warlike talk is simply "faked" up in Washington, and its only justification is the alleged imperious character of the "ultimatum," said to have been cabled to Minister Egan. Any vessels that have been orderedjto Valparaiso were ordered there previous to the trouble, and merely to re lieve the Baltimore and San Francisco, that they might proceed to San Francisco and lay up for repairs. Though the San Fran cisco is at Callao, she has not been ordered to Valparaiso, and yet some of the sensation alists predict immediate war with Chile. An official of the State Department who has all along disagreed with the policv pur sued by the department since the revoluti n in Chile first Droke out, said to The Dis patch correspondent to-day: "We must not forget that if the Chileans feel unkindly toward the United States we ourselves are to blame for it. This administration, its .Minister to Chile and its war vessels in Chilean waters, constantly during the progress of the Civil War, showed a con spicuous partiality for the now defeated party. (Naturally, among the low classes the bitter feeling on all sides on ac count of this would manifest itself in the one way known to Chileans of that class when they come in contact with United States saUoJ-s, laid Captain. Sihlev should be disciplinedjfor permitting the Baltimore's men to go where a fight was almost certain to follow, arid especially after a liberal in dulgence in rum. "My opinion is that the Investigation will show that one party to the riot was as much to blame as the other; that the police and the Chilean officers did all they could to quell the disturbance and protect the North Americans, and that the Government of Chile will refuse to pay imdemnity if in demnity be asked." INCREASE IN COFFEE DRINKING. This Tear's Exports From Brazil More Than Doable Those of 1890. Washington, Oct 25. The Bureau of the American Republics tey received in formation that the total exports of coffee from Santos, Brazil, for the eiirht months of 1891 amounted to 1,638,981 bags, of which 433,248 were sent to the United States, and 1,203,130 to Europe. This is a large in crease over 1890, during the same period of which the exports to the United States amounted to 213,795 bans and to Europe 831,236 bags. The new port of Ceiba, recently estab lished in the Republio of Honduras, has entered into active commercial relations with the United States. The Bureau of American Republics has received informa tion that from the 1st to the 11th of Sep tember there were exported to the United States 39,000 bunches of bananas, of which 27,000 bunches were shipped to New Orleans and ia,oou to JNew v. one.

Of course, along with the rumor of Elkins' probable appointment ' goes the story that the choice is made for the purpose of spiking another of the Blaine guns. Blackburn Slay Be for Cleveland. Washington, Oct. 25. Special Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky, was in town yesterday. It has been said of the Senator that he is about the only man in Kentucky who is against Cleveland." When this remark was repeated to the Senator to day, he said: "That is not a fair way of putting my position. If when the time comes to make a nomination, Mr. Cleveland appears to be the strongest man in the ?arty, and the man with whom we can win, will be for him." Reed Expects Mills to Succeed Him. Washington, Oct. 25. Special Speaker Reed has been in town since yes terday. He is on his way to Ohio to take part in the McKinley campaign. When asked if he had called upon Secretary Blaine Mr. Reed replied in his characteristic style: "No, I have not yet been notified of his re turn." Mr. Reed is of the opinion, judging from the present situation, that Mills will be elected Speaker. A Ship's Struggle With the Waves. New York, Oct. 25. Captain Brown, commander of the steamship Ocean Prince, now lying off quarantine in a badly battered condition, to-day stated that his vessel left Gibraltar on the 3d inst, and on the ISth it was the worst storm he had ever encoun tered. From the 18th to the 21st the wind'' and waves kept up their wild work. The ship's stanchions were twisted as if they were so much putty; the doors of the cabin and chartroom were wrenched from their fastenings and the cabin flooded.

REPUBLICANS IN A SOLID ARRAY. All Issues Will Be Decided According toN Their Party Bearing. LIYSEI'S PRESENCE IS A POSSIBILITY TWOS! A STAFF COJmESFOVDEVT.1 Harrisburg. Oct. 25. There appears to be no very definite knowledge as to the action of the Senate this week. The Re publicans, it is safe to predict, will do noth ing further than defend their accused offi cials. In that effort they will likely be kept busy. To-morrow will likely be de voted to reading the testimony which still remains unread. Tuesday afternoon is to be given to memorial services over the late Senator Mehard and Wednesday will in all probability witness one of the most inter esting sessions of the inquiry. Governor Pattison's proclamation and message jointly arraigned Boyer and Mc Camant. By a strictly party vote the one case was divided into two trials, and dow to delay matters until after the election the majority party will insist upon a joint ver dict, and while the verdict may be already cut and dried it will not be rendered until after the trial of the McCamant case, and if necessary for the best interests of the ma jority party not until the Philadelphia magistrates have been tried. REPUBLICAN INCONSISTENCr. The inconsistency of the Republicans will not go unchallenged by the Democrats, but that will not change the Republican plans any. With their easy majority they can make two cases out of one, and can make one verdict for two case3 without bending their conscience in the least, especially when their actions serve their party's pur pose. McCamant's case will likely be con cluded in a day or two after it is taken up. In the absence of Mr. Livsey it will be difficult to prove anything more serious than misfeasance in office against the Aud itor General, and the responsibility for such misconduct and neglect will be thrown upon the late Harry Griffen, who for many years and up until his death, was a trusted clerk in McCamant's office. There is, however, a possibility of Mr. Livsey being here before McCamant's trial is ended. Captain Linden, the famous Plnkerton detective, was here last week. On the inside it is quietly hinted that the officer and his associates are endeav oring to apprehend the missing cashier. People here do not believe with some of the Pittsburg Republicans that Mr. Livsey has gone to England. They figure out that he is still in America, and those who ought to know something of the case say they would not be surprised to see Mr. Livsey here this week as a willing witness no't only against himself, but against McCamant and Boyer. HENSEL WILL NOT ARGUE. Attorney General Hensel will be in Pitts burg on legal business to-morrow. He will return to take part in the Senate proceed ings Tuesday, "it was said to-night that Mr. Hensel will not take part in the argu ment against the accused officials. He con tends that his duty to the State ends when he has brought out all the evidence obtain ble. If there is any argument on the part of the Democrats, it will be made by Sena tor Hoer, tif Bucks, ahdftnatorTIerrifa'of. Columbia county. Of course the hired lawyers with all their intellectual force will -deend the accused officials. There will, however, be little to be said bv the Democrats. They are already fixed 'in the belief that Governor Pattison's every action has been sustained. They are confident that the Governor's charges aginst Mr. Boyer have all been proven and they say they are willing to submit the case to the people. They say that it has been proven that Mr. Boyer has been flagrantly remiss in observ ing his duties and the mandatory commands of the law. It has been proven that he very largely permitted his chief clerk, the fugi tive Livsey, to discharge the duties of the office without the supervision which he ought himself to have given. THE CHIEF OFFENCE. It has been proven that the payment of the Philadelphia school warrant for the vcar 1891 had been made in violation of the law requiring a certificate showing that the schools had been opened for the minimum term of six months. It has been proven that had,tne act J.asy Decn iouowed by Mr. Boyer theloss through Bardsley could not have occurred. It has been proven that Boyer paid Bardsley 420,000 when he knew at the time thit he was a debtor to the State in a sum of about 51,000,000. It has been proven that Boyer (and admitted by him) made a demand upon Bardsley for money. Upon the same dajr, upon his return to Harrisburg, he notified him that, as the strain upon the State Treasury was over, he did not require the money. It has been further proven that had Boyer, as it was his dutv,gone to Bardsley's office and examined his books, he could have ascertained in 15 minutes his indebtedness to the State for liquor licenses and personal property tax accounts. This Bover has admitted. The testimony ot" Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction Stewart has developed an amazing condition of affairs in that de partment; a lack of system, a looseness, an absence of responsibility and a fatal negli gence, iioyer nas aumutea mat ne was acquainted" with the provisions of the laws he has seemingly violated, has acknowledged that they were mandatory, but shields himself behind the custom of his predecessors. The Republican answer to the Democratic claim is that Boyer has possibly been guilty of technical remiss ness, but that his conduct does not warrant his removal from office. The Republican answer is likely later on to be the verdict of the Republican Senate in the whole case. Herbert. A POLITICAL LIBEL SUIT. It Is the Result of a Dispute. Among the labor Leaders. Harrisburg, Oct 25. Special. Hugh McGarvey, who, during the session of 1889, was a member of the Knights of Labor Leg islative Committee, of which Charley An drews was Chairman, did good service for the Democrats in the latt campaign and is now messenger in the State Department as a reward. When a labor convention was called in Philadelphia about a month ago to indorse Powderly, McGarvey was one of those on hand in the interest of the adminis tration to prevent that or anything else that might aid the Republicans. The result was that Powderly was not indorsed, but the Constitutional Convention was. Captain M. H. Butler was angered by the result of the-convention, and in an inter view attacked McGaney. That gentleman has just brought 6uit for criminal libel against Butler and against Editor Mc Alarney, of the Evening Telegraph, who was one of those who printed it. He has also brought suit against General Secretary Hayes, of the Knights of Labor, on some such ground. Illustrious Salvationists I and InNew Tork. New York, Oct. 23. The Hamburg American Line steamship Columbia reached her dock at Hoboken early this morning. The arrival of the Columbia has been atched for for some davs past by Salvation Army leaders all over this country, -as among the passengers on board were Mrs. Booth Claborn, the leader of the Salvation Army in France and Switzerland, and her Secretary, Mme.

POWER OF PUBLIC OPIHI0N Prevents Interference With a Religions So ciety Parade on Snnday. Shenandoah, Oct. 25. Special. A most imposing religious demonstration was held here this afternoon, in connection with the laying of the cornerstone of the new Lithuanian. Catholic Church. What in vested the occasion with special interest was an attempt made by local camps of the Patriotic Order Sons of America and one other society to prevent the affair taking place on Sunday, or at all events, to prevent the playing of music in connection therewith. Ten days ago a communication in the name of the or ganization named above was received by the Borough Council, protesting against the holding of the demonstration. Council took the same view of the matter that the societies did, and adopted a resolution directing the chief burgess to prevent the parade, on the ground that it would consti tutes public nuisance. The action of the LCouneil-wa? generally- condemned 'by -the pressor thw country ana by the best citi zens of every creed and nationality, and so unpleasant did it become for them that at a subsequent called meetine the resolutions of instructions to the burgess were re scinded and ample apology offered. In the procession this afternoon there were 30 societies, numbering more than 5,000 men, and 10 brass bands. The parade started at 2 o'olock and lasted until 4, going over nearly every principal street, in the borough and taking three-quarters of an hour to pass a given point. The religious services at the church were conducted by Rev. H. F. Orrilv, of this city, assisted by Fathers Kane and Osborne and Father Blabill, of Plymouth. Clergymen and prominent citizens were present from al most every town in the entire coke region. , TWO AMERICAN" CITIZENS SHOT. The Consul at Matamoras Investigating the Cases of Alleged Insurgents. Rio Grande Cnr, Tex., Oct 25. Two of the men who were shot at midnight Octo ber 10, at Guardado de Arriba ranch because of their alleged revolutionary proclivities, are now known to have been Jnan Bazan and Jose Angel Vera. It is also said that they were American citizens and voters in this county. John D. Richardson, American Consul at Matamoras, Mex., has announced that he will make a thorough investigation of the killing, and if the men were American citi zens he will take further legal steps. Three , men have been put in jail at Mier, Mexico, during the past few days. Of those arrested Louis Y. Baguirre is the only one who has escaped speedy execution. The citizens on the other side of the border are terrorized by the summary executions. ABEAVER PALIS TRAGEDY. It Is Caused By the Inressant Quarreling of Next-Door Neighbors. Beater Falls, Oct. 25. Special-,. Patterson's Heights, a suburb of this place,, was thrown into great excitement this even ing about 6 o'clock by a probably fatal shooting affray, in which Robert Dean was shot by his next-door neighbor, Charles Miller. For some time there has been bad blood between them, owing to the many quarrels their wives had. This evening Miller walked into Dean's yard and re newed the quarrel. Words led to blows and Miller was badlv used up by being hit with rocks thrown by both Dean and his wife. Miller, seeing that he was getting the worst of it, retreated, but in a few minutes returned with his revolver and shot Dean, who instantly dropped to the ground .with a groan. After the shooting 31iller ran for the house and stayed there until he was ar rested and taken to jail. He claims that the shooting was done in self-defense. FARMERS THEIR OWN MERCHANTS. The New Alliance Co-Operatlvo Plan In Operation in Kentucky. Louisville, Oct 23. The National Union Company, of New York, the co operative concern which grew out of the farmers' convention at Ocata, Fla., and re ceived the approval.of President Polk, has established itself in Kentucky. A State depot has been established in Louisville. The Farmers' Alliance had already estab lished a business here, and did last year about 575.000 worth of trade. This is given to the Union. Options have been secjred on 33 stores at various points in the State, and Vice Presi dent WiUon, of the National Union Com pany, is transferring them to agents chosen by the farmers' county organization as fast as possible. The plan is to make Louisville the distributing point to stores at every im portant town in the State and give members ot the Alliance a rebate on goods' purchased. OETS. FIVE. MILLIONS OUT, Tliat 'Is the Exorbitant Amount Expended on . EoadsTMs Year, With THEEE NOTHING TO SHOW FOE IT i An Increase of More Than $1,000, 000 Over Last Year's Taxes. THE LOSS IN ALLEGHENY COUNTY, More Jlonej Spent on Bad Highways in Some Counties Than Schools. FIGURES SHOW THE NEED OF BEF0B3I In another month the country roads of Pennsylvania will be in a bad condition. They will be of little use during the winter, and spring will find most of them practic ally impassable. At the opening of this miserable season in the agricultural dis tricts it is right and proper that the tax payer should know just how much money and time was spent on these public high ways this year. To redeem them from the mnddy depths of last winter and repair them for the traffic of 1891 a tax was levied in each township of the State. This tax was paid by the farmer, and, as he watches these roads moisten and sink into quag mires during this and next month, he may better realize hove much money sinks into the mud with them, if he has the figures be fore him. Heretofore a man has had no information at hand to show him how much was spent on roads outside of his own township, and even the amount spent in that township is not generally known until toward spring, when the auditors begin to post their re ports on telegraph poles or on the door of the schoolhouse at the cross roads. The amount raised in a single township is not likely to impress him, and the habit of a yearly tax for the maintenance of roads has become so customary and fixed that hs doesn't give the matter a thought Store Than 85,000,000 Expended. I present herewith figures which may en able every taxpayer's vision, to rise abova the lines of his own township lines. They will show him that over 33,000,000, both in cash and labor, were expended on the rural highways of Pennsylvania in 1891. This will be seen to be an increase of more than. 51,000,000 qver the road taxation of 1890. The Legislature had before it last winter a bill appropriating 1,000,000 to commencing a permanent repair of public roads under a new law, which, before it was disemboweled by the ax ot false economy, proposed a meritorious plan; and yet a loud howl was raised from the first against appropriating "this vast sum of money." And, here,, the fall of the same year finds that much of an increase alone sunk in the ground, and not a cent's worth of work to show for it next April. Over five times that amount wai the aggregate .of what went into altemporarv repair of -the highways- By. T-'rtininr? iIk Ymttia nf mind the averacro Nfarmer will be in will make him ready, to admit that this huge sum ot money and labor was wasted. The Actual Figures for It.

Somerset and York. With tha State thus only partially covered the Secre tary of Internal Affairs figured out a total, exclusive of Philadelphia county, of 53,734, 379 84. A Very Conservative Estimate. Therefore, for the sake of convenient com. parison, the 14 counties from which no return could be obtained up to the time of closing the above table for 1891 are esti mated. The total of the 35 counties first enumerated is 52,987,380 QG. This is an in crease since 1890 fot those 33 counties of between ?800,000 and 5900,000. According the same ratio of increase to the 14 counties not heard from this year, they are advanced from 1,600,000 in 1890 to 52,100,000 in 189L This makes a total of 53,087,380 this year, as against 53,734.379 84 in the previous vear. Only 49 counties are included in this, leaving 18 in the State yet to hear from. After all, therefore, 55,000,000 is) awav under the mark. With the exception of Allegheny county, the figures in the table of 35 counties for this year are taken direct from tha manu script reparts which the Secretary of In ternal Affairs is just now receiving from County Commissioners, and are conse quently official. Allegheny County had made no report to Harrisburg up to the time these returns were copied. The Money Used In Allegheny. At the office of the County Commission ers in Pittsburg, however, the Road Super visors of Allegheny county have replied to circular letters, giving the millage of road tax in their respective townships. I first entered into correspondence with all the Allegheny County Supervisors for the sake of accuracy. In the townships where I failed to tret any reply, I multiplied tha , valuation hy the road-tax millage. In thia way I made'a complete table of Allegheny county road taxes, both for 1891 and 1890.
