rFPECIAL TELFGRAM TO TFIE DISPATCH.!
XeWYork, Oct 29. While numerous
tables and figures have been published In
the daily papers regarding the probable
outcome and the vote of the various States,
nothing of an official character has been
issued lrom Xational Republican head
quarters. It was said there to-day,
howeTer, that on Monday, in all
probability, certain data would be
given out which would be a refler
of the opinions entertained by the National
Committee. It is supposed this will em
brace not only some interesting figures on
2sew York State.but.more than that, a sum
mary of the vote of the various States, in
which may be found those conceded solid
for cither Democratic or Republican tickets,
the doubtful States and those given over in
whole or in part to the People's party.
Ex-Congressman Buiterworth, of Ohio,
was a caller at headquarters to-day and
spent most of it in consultation with the
committee, giving reports of the condition
of affairs as he found them in the various
sections of country in which he has been.
He raid:
A Daily Gain for the Republicans.
"I have been through Maryland, West
Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Iowa and several
other States, and have talked with repre
sentatives of every trade and calling and
every shade of political opinion. During
the last 40 days the Republican ticket has
gained in strength everywhere. The wail
of our Democratic friends is a political
trick and subterfuge, and the truth has be
come obvious to all our people. In point
of fact, the country as a whole has never in
its history been so prosperous as it is to-day, J
"In the Middle v est farmers never had
so much money in bank, and are satisfied
to continue as they are and want no change
of administration, and they are indignant
over the attempt to deprecate the value of
their property. One intelligent farmer
told me that if the calamitous condition
described by Governor Boies really existed
in Iowa they would all be compelled to
move out before winter set in.
Xo More Wildcat Money Wanted.
"The people dread a return to wildcat
money as though it were the plague, while
the tariff plank in the Republican platform
meets with universal approval There is
more intelligent, earnest investigation in
the issues of the campaign than ever before,
and it all means increased confidence in
Republican rule. Cleveland is held in high
esteem, and deservedly so, but he repre
sents a policy not in favor with the major
ity of people."
There was a meeting of the committee
this afternoon, attended by all the members
in town. Secretary of War Elkins was a
visitor and gave some important advice
concerning the situation in West Virginia.
C. L. Magee, of Pennsylvania, and W. A.
Magee, were also present, and held a pro
tracted interview with Senator Quay.
W. H. Michael, Commander of the De
partment of the Potomac Union Veterans,
embracing the States of Virginia and Mary
land, has issued orders from headquarters
in Washington setting forth in no uncertain
terms what is cooceived to be the veterans'
duty under the Constitution of the Union.
Among other things he said of article 4:
The Duty of Veterans of the War.
'The election of Grover Cleveland, the
enemy of soldiers, means the election
of a 'Democratic Senate and House,
which means the placing in power
of a party which has always
been dominated by the South, and which
has never helped the Union soldier except
when the patriotism of the country com
pelled it to do so. If the voters would help
themselves and each other they must vote
for their comrade who stood with them at
the front, and with the party that has al
ways been the friend of the Union soldier
and sailor."
Irom national headquarters to-day was
issued certain literature which says:
Examination of the registry lists by the
Kational Committee has been full and com
plete, and reveals an andaclous conspiracy
which reaches in its operations from Man
hattan Island to Kings county, and which
proposes to mate the summer scam of
Coney Island ao duty at the rail election.
The Democrats propose to avail themselves
of the services of the fakirs, bunko steer
ers and confidence men who infest
Long Island in summer, to Increase
the vote of Kings county at the
coming election. The details of this plan
are fully known at Republican headquarters,
and the men are closely watched. Any at
tempt at repeating will be stopped, and the
men speedily brought to Justice. Pledges
by certain lodging house keepers to furnish
Tammany with a stipulated number or votes
will have to be broken, as these gentlemen
n ill not be able to d ellrer the goods, owing
to tho atcli being kept upon their move
ments. Republicans Sure of New York.
At Republican headquarters this evening
Chairman Carter, General Clarkson, Mr.
Jlanley, Mr. Habn, Secretary Elkins, Mr.
Fenen'den, Mr. Kerens, Mr. Quay andJMr.
Magee held a lengthy conference. At its
close Mr. Manley said: "We have carefully
considered the sitnation in Uew York State
and after discussing the registration as it
a pears to us we have telegraphed all our
friends that 2few York State will be carried
lor Harrison.. We have signed our names
t the telegram and, we feel justified in
sendinc it forth."
It was learned that this step had sot been
HOW
OR
MORROW
taken nntil after the national campaigners
had conferred with the Republican-State
campaigners. One thing can be said posi
tively, and that is that the campaigners
who conferred at Mr. Carter's bureau to-day
were all, men of mettle and experience.
Thev are lined up against their Democratic
opponents, and in the closing days of this
fight they will push every advantage and
take every chance for victory,
Wntchlng'Each Other's Bank Accounts.
There were gathered around the Demo
cratic Kational board to-night Mr. Harritv,
Senator Gorman, Senator Brice, who fought
the battle four years ago; Lieutenant Gov
ernor Sheehac, Mr. Whitney and Bradley
B. Smaller. Many things were gone over
at this conference." In the first place it was
generally agreed that their opponents were
till plentifullv supplied with funds. It
is a curious fact that the two Kational
Committees are acquainted with each
other's bank balances at the close of each
day. The expenses on election day this
year will be very much larcer than on any
occasion of similar importance since war
days. The new ballot laws contribute to
this state of affairs, and in -addition those
acquainted with the situation say that extra
inducements in the way of vehicles and a
jug or two of toddy and other necessaries
will be required to bring the voters in the
country districts to the polls. This not only
applies to New York, but to New Jersey,
Connecticut and Indiana. Strenuous efforts
to increase the bank balances have been
made in the last week. Most of these
efforts have been centered in Boston.
Harrity Still Fainting Rainbows.
Soon after the conference broke up Chair
man Harritv authorized a statement claim
ing everything in sight. He claimed New
Jersey by 10,000. For Connecticut he said
1,500 majority was about right. As to In
diana he put the figure at not less than
7,500 and possibly 15,000. Of course he
claims New York, but he gave no figures.
Considerable space was devoted to-day in
Democratic headquarters literature to the
compilation of facts and figures alleged to
show that the claims of the Republicans
that the laboring man is benefited under the
McKinley bill are without foundation.
Visits were made to a number of manufact
urers of coats, cloaks and various other kin
dred industries, and figures obtained from
their employes as to the wages received
now and before the adoption of the McKin
ley bill, and also as to the cost of living and
the prices in the market of finished goods.
Thero are also some lurid pictures of the
way in which toilers are compelled to live,
and their condition is set forth as little if
any better than the negro when a slave be
fore the war.
BIGGINS SATS ITS FALSE.
The Senator Answers a Charge of Attempted
Bribery Made by a Democrat.
Wilmington, Oct 2a A story was
sent out from here to-day purporting to come
from Isaac J. Wooten, Democratic Regis
trar in East Little Creek Hundred, Sussex
county, to the effect that United States
Senator Anthony B. Higgins had tried to
bribe him with a promise of office to manip
ulate the registration in accordance with a
scheme by which he proposed to carry Del
aware for the Republicans. To-night Mr.
Higgins made this statement:
About two weeks ago, while I was at Laurel.
TVooten called on me at the house ot Geurga
Smith, Informing me that he desired' to
change his political connection and to so
licit an office under the Government. Hav
ing understood him to be a man of lnflueuce
and good standing I told him I thought an
office oonld be had for him. Nothing was
said about what work he should do for the
Republican party; nothing was said about
his being registrar nor voters' assistant,
nor did I know he was regis
trar nor even hear that he was
until a reporter told me so to-day. Nothing
n as saio. as to nis aouse oi any omciai amy
whether as registrar, election officor.voters'
assistant or otherwise. The abturdltvof
tlichan'e becomes apparent from the fact
iniLt unuor we lEataie ne voters- assistant
Is chosen by his .own. party and then, not
until election morning. Anyatatement that
I was concerned in any attempt to Influence
in the discbarge of official duty is false.
Subsequently Mr. Smith wrote to me to
know If Wooten could have a place in
the Land office held by one "Gcs J. Par
sons," and I replied that I could find no
snch person's name In the bine book, but
only one "John A Parsons."
ABBEBTS FOB COLONIZING.
Twenty Men Taken In Charge for Illegal
Registration in New Tork.
New Yobk, Oct. 29. KperiaZ. The
police to-day made 16 arrests of colonizers
in the Eighth Assembly district, and the
United States Marshals four, among them
Mart Allen, brother of notorious district
leader "The" Allen. The officers claim to
have evidence tending to show that Allen
and his chief, a man giving the name of
Miller, have had a lot of men illegally reg
istered. On Miller were found memoran
dum books showing plans of lodging houses
with the floors marked off and numbered,
and in one the beds are numbered up
to 75, and 61 names were placed opposite
the rooms and beds.
One man, arrested as he was coming out
of a polling place with two companions, ad
mitted that he had registered under a false
name and that his companions had furnished
the name and addresses and promised him
money for registering. John Donohue, a
tramp who registered illegally in the Fifty
third election district of the Eight Assem
bly district, was arrested. He said that he
had been induced to register bv John Car
ney and John W. Griffin, employes in the
General Postoffice, who were also arrested.
GOTHAM'S QUALIFIED VOTERS.
Less Than 38,000 Added to the Registra

Ne-w Yoke; Oct. 29. Special The total
registration in New York City is 309,830.
Ninety-five per cent of the registration is
voted in Presidental years, so that the prob
able vote in this city is 294,339.
In 1888 the registration was 286,642 and
the vote was 274,739. Following the rath)
of increase from 1876 to 1888 the registra

day was 37,667.
The final chance was afforded the citizens
of Brooklyn to-dav to aaalifv as Tnter.
this being the fourth and last day appointed

M0BE "bF THE SINEWS.
Mr. Frick'g Arrival In New York Starts
Tales of Big Contributions.
New Yoke, Oct. 29. Special The
arrival last night of E Q Frick, of the
Carnegie Company, and C L. Magee was
construed by the initiated to mean some
thing, and to-day it is alleged that, the Re
publican coffers hare been enriched by at
least $250,000, and many claim $500,000.
Postmaster General Wanamaker was the
moving lever, and -through his persuasive
eloquence Mr. Frick was induced to go
forth among the heavy iron men of Penn
sylvania and represent that the Republi
cans were in need of more funds. The re
sult of the gentleman's ability as a collec
tor is given above.
Mr.Carnegie ws cabled regarding the
situation, and part of the money turned
over represents his company's share. Ten
day Mr. Frick was not to 'be seen, as he
was closeted at the Holland House with
Secretary Tracy, Chairman Carter, J. C
Morse, President of the Illinois Steel Com
pany, and Colonel George Bliss, It is gen-
erallv asserted that to far nearly 51.000,000
of a campaign fund has been contributed by
Pennsylvania.
PROGRESS IN ELECTRICrrY;
SEARCH UGKTS PLACE GLADSTONE
ON CLOUDS.
Londoners: Able to See the Grand Old Man
In the Skies They Can Also Ride Along
Their Streets In an Electrio Omnibus.
BY CABLE TO TBS DISPATCH.)
London, Oct 29. Copyright. The
Mt Washington signal and search light has
been outdone in one capacity this week by
the electrio apparatus with which experi
ments have been made. At Earle's Court
the managers have succeeded not only in
throwing the distinct forms of gigantic let
ters upon the clouds, but they have even
made the well-known features of Mr.
Gladstone appear in ghostly outline in the
heavens. When the man in the moon gets
jealous and shines through the olouds the
inventor simply makes artificial clouds
npon which to throw his announcements.
Overlooking the utilitarian possibilities of
the invention the papers are lamenting the
prospect of the milky way being used as an
advertising board.
Another invention, which is rejoicing the
hearts of London's victims ot omnibus
transit, is the advent of electricity as the
motive power of ordinary street vehicles.
An electrio parcel van has for some time
Sli'ed about the streets of the West End.
Tow has come a fully equipped electric
omnibus. The vehicle is somewhat larger
than the familiar 'bus. Instead of the
driver's box seat a platform projects in
front of the 'bus, and below it a kind of
small boy catcher or guard protects the
first pair of wheels, which are for steering,
the other and larger pair being for driving.
The electrio 'bus will carry 12 people
inside and 14 outside, exactly like one of
the ordinary time. To each 'bus will be
allowed three sets of accumulators, the
electricalienergy being stored in them. The
Electrical Power Storage' Company has
engaged to supply the electric 'buses with
accumulators. One set consists of 68 cells,
each about 50 pounds in weight, bringing
up the total weight ot the new bus, ready
for running, to rather more than 3J tons,
as compared with the heaviest horse 'bus
34 hundred weight and the lightest 28
hundred weight. But the inventor says
the electrio omnibus carries its horses on
board. Add this to the successful adaptation
of pneumatic tires to omnibuses just accom
plished at Glasgow and the prospects of
comfortable street transit have been won
derfully improved.
ANARCHISTS RAISING CAIN.
The New York Arbelter Zeltung Editor
Locked Up In Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, Oct 29. Editor Ben
jamin Feigenbaum, of the New York
Arbeiter Zeitung, and Nathan Saggan, a Rus
sian Socialist of this city, were held in $600
and $500 bail respectively this morning on
charges of inciting to riot, assaulting an
officer and breach of the peace. This
action was the conclusion of a small riot
last night The Socialist Labor party and
a delegation, said by the police to be An
archists, had both engaged Cosmopolitan
HalL
The Socialists arrived first, and had
opened their meeting when the other dele
gation appeared. After some dispute a
joint meeting was agreed upon. The first
speaker of the evening was Geisneer, of
Pittsburg. His remarks' were not very
sensational, but when Benjamin Feigen
baum, editor of the New York Arbelter Zeit
ung, commenced ,hla speech tha audience
warmed up, and before he had spoKen ten
minutes his remarks stirred up the riot
The police'compelled the proprietor of the
hall to adjourn the meeting. Shortly after
Editor Feigenbaum attacked with his cane
the officer who dispersed the meeting.
When the policeman arrested his assailant
the crowd set upon thej officer. A squad of
officers came to the rescue, and both pris
oners were locked up.
SARCASTIC BISMARCK.
He Says Even the Kaiser Shines Through
His Transparent Ministry.
Bebxin, Oct 29. Prince Bismarck will
not re-appear in the Reichstag. If the suc
cess of the coalition against the Govern
ment was absolutely secure, with himself
master of the situation, he would not hesi
tate to again take his seat; but the person
who latest tried to interview him could not
extort even a side light on the Prince's at
titude toward the impending struggle. His
criticisms were chiefly personalities. The
present Ministers, he said, are so insig
nificant, and the covering to the shield they
represent . is so transparent, that the Em-
feror himself always shines through them,
t is dangerous to the future of the mon
archic idea, he added, for a ruler, even with
the best intentions, to appear so frequently
in the political field without a decent min
isterial covering. Continuing Prince Bis
marck said:
To flsjht with ministers who are men of
straw has no charms for me. Some of them
cling through personal necessities to the
posts that feed them. They have large
families, or there are other things that de
mand that they retain their offices. Tho
sitnation has no sword for me. My son is
much less resigned to be out of office than I
am, bnt he has long seen that competition
with certain Ministers is only possible, pro
vided one previously wears livery for some
years.
TOO BIG FOR THE CARNEGIES.
They Are Obliged to Change Their Contract
for Heavy Armor Plate.
Bethlehem, Pa, Oct 29. The heaviest
armor plate ever made is now in course of
preparation at the Bethlehem Iron Works,
This 17-inch armor will defend the side of
the battleship Indiana, now building. The
Carnegie Company secured the contract for
this work, but being unable to make armor
more than 13 inches in thickness, the con
tract was given to the Bethlehem Works in
exchange tor lighter work.
The plate will be sent to Indian Head in
a week or two. The result of this" test will
be watched with interest by ordnance and
iron men all over the country. The ordnance
plant is working night and day, turning out
an unprecedented product

AFTER FRIDAY'S JBIG EIBE.
Third Ward People Are Unable to
Locate Within a Block Where '
THEYHAD LIVED THE DAY BEFORE
Only Four Fatalities Are Thus Far Erongut
to Light, and the
INSURANCE LOSS LESS THAN FEARED
Milwaukee, Oct 29. It is "now known
that" at least fonr lives' were lost during last
night's fire. The dead are: Henry Ped
denbrock, fireman; Charles 'Stahl, fireman;
Mrs. Kalaban, died from shock' after being
taken to the Third ward school; unknown
man, head smashed by falling wall.
Fully 3,000 people were made homeless
by the terrible conflagration.- This is a
conservative estimate to place on the num
ber who found themselves in the street last
night, compelled to seek shelter under the
roofs of the hospitable citizens who threw
their doors open to them. The greatest
portion of the loss has fallen on people who
are unable to bear it, and who carried no insurance.-
Hundreds of families have lost
everything they had in the world, and do
not know where they will sleep to-night
There are now so many hungry people
that it was decided to open the doors of the
ExDosition building for their accommoda
tion. The Third ward school building was
the principal place of refuge early last
night, but later on the people scattered and
were for the most part taken in by kind
hearten neighbors. Of those who were.not
so fortunate some went to the Northwest
ern depot, where -several Italian families
spent the night
No Call Tet for Outside Aid.
The people of Milwaukee have as yet
made no special call for aid, and it is yet
undecided whether they will do so. Mayor
P. J. Somen said this morning: "Of
course, we would like to take care
of these people as well as we
can without troubling outsiders, but they
need clothing, bedding and food. They
need it badly and they need it now. The
main thing at present is to care lor them
speedily, and the more help we have the
better we can do this."
In one place this morning an elderly man
stood stook gazing vacantly about him. He
said he had either lived where he was stand
ing or on the corner above. The earth had
been swept so clean that there was.no marki
to tell him where he had lived. At another'
place1 this morning two pretty girls were
poking around, in what had onoe been the
cellar of their home.
"I have been here an hour," said one of
them. "i and this is -erervthine that I have
been able to find of all my things." And
she held up a twisted and blaokened folk.
"I can't tew- .where; etlr house want tS!'
Andu
she said. "There is not even any ashes
lett I suppose,though, the wind carried
them out over the lake, but I cannot see
how it could make our house disappear so
utterly. It doesn't seem possible."
The Flames Searched Out Everything."
It seems as -if the flames were determined
to burn everything in sight, even though
they bad to dig through the earth to get it
The Northwestern Railroad peoDle are
not even able at this time to approximate
their loss. One locomotive and about 400
cars is what they lost on the tracks. Many
of them were empties and many were
loaded. Nothing remains of Hansen's
malt house but the.walis and two immense
piles of well-cooked grain, most of which
will be a total loss. The other business
houses saved absolutely nothincr beyond the
contents of their vaults, and in some in
stances not even that
Last night little children were scudding
through the streets carrying all manner ot
useless things. One little towhead fled
frantically along Buffalo street directly in
advance ot the fire, which was going 20 feet
to her one. Clasped tightly within her
tiny fist she held a man's silk hat As she
fled sobbing and screaming down the street
a policeman made a dash at her and gather
ing her up ran into an alley.
Some of the Sufferers a Goose Ahead.
When the fire reached the Northwestern
freight house half a dozen men dashed
through the police lines and broke open a
double-decked car. The car was filled with
geese belonging to Captain Fred Pabst
The geese were driven along in a great
flock down the track. They screamed and
tried to fly away. But long confinement
had made them unequal to the emergency.
Before a distance of a block was traversed
the geese had scattered and a mob was pur
suing them among the freight cars. Hun
dreds of men, with a live goose under each
arm, stood and watched the scene, and no
one questioned their right to carry the
fowls.
Philip D. Armour's subscription came
early this morning in the following mes
sage: "Draw on me tor 5,000 and place it
where it will do the most good. Let me
know if the fire was as bad as reported, and
if youlwant more, pull mv latch string."
"Draw on me for 11,000,000 if need be,"
was another message from Mr. Armour this
morning to President James, 'of the North
western National Insurance Company, of
Milwaukee. Mr. Armour is a Director of
the company, and at its local offices Was
told it had suffered a heavy loss. It was
alter receiving'this information that he sent
his message.
What the Insurance Companies Lose.
According to a noon estimate the total
loss of insurance companies will be between
11,600.000 and (2,000,000. The total loss
will be divided among nearly 100 compa
nies. "The 100 or more companies involved
will not be crippled by this loss, and .they
will all carry out their agreements -to the
letter," said Secretary Wilson, of the Un
derwriters' Association.,
Among the heavy losers are the North
British and Mercantile Fire Insurance
Company. The manager of the company
said that if the fire is as bad as reported
their losses will amount to nearly 5100,000.
"Our losses' said the Assistant Secretary
of the German American Company,' "will
not exceed 25,000."
A representative ot ihe London, Liver
pool and Globe said: "In the absence of
reports from our Chicago offices, I do not
think our losses will exceed- (20,000."
"The loss of the Guardian Assurance Com
pany, of London, will be about 125,000,"
Manager Bowers said. The agents of the
Union Assurance Company, of London,
place their loss at 115,000. The Niagara
may lose (10,000; the Norwich, (10,000;
the United States, about (5,000, and the
Broadway Insurance Company, about
(7,500. The small losers will be the Amer

Fifteen Alarms Yesterday The Beautiful
Euclid Avenue Opera House In Ashes
Tho Severance Block Goes Up In Smoke
Slany Working Girls Rescued.
Cleveland, Oct 29. The Euclid Ave
nue Opera House was ruined by fire to-day.
At 8:30 o'clock this morning employes saw
a little wreath of smoke curl out of the
cupola directly over the center of the house.
A still -alarm was at once turned in, but be
fore the department had responded the
flames had burst through the windows, and
a furious gale lanned the fire into a roaring
tempest of flame.
In less time than it takes to tell it, the
flames had reached the stage and the rich
and expensive scenery was consumed. The
flames then spread into the auditorium and
broke through the. roof. At 9 o'clock the
entire roof fell in. At 10 o'clock, after
gutting the theater, the-fire was under con
trol. The Opera House was owned by M. A.
Hanna. His loss will be about $75,000, and
it is covered by insurance. Manager and
Lessee Gus Hartz loses about (5,000, which
is also insured. The Hanlon "Superba"
Company lost all their scenery and bag
gage, which cost (25,000, and the actors lose
about (10,000 In costumes and clothing.
Georee W. Nourse. the nronertv man of
the -houe, estimates his loss at (10,000.
Sir. Hanna says he will not rebuild the
.theater.

MANY LAKE WRECKS.
A 60-Mile Gale Flays Havoo With All
Kinds of Shipping;. '
Deteoit, Mich., Oct 29. Reports of
wrecks and other mishaps to shipping caused
by last night's terrific wind storm, are coming
in from different points on the lakes. Con
sidering the number of vessels blown ashore
and wrecked, the loss of life is very light,
only two drownings being reported thus
far. Many people are reported missing
and their names not yet known. At Man
istee, Mich., the schooner Nellie Hammond
was sunk by striking a pier while entering
the harbor. Her captain, Louis Michalt
son, was washed overboard and drowned,
the remainder of the crew escaping.
The wind at one time last night reached
60 miles an hour. The average velocity
was 45. The weather during the past 20
hours has been very severe, a 60-mile gale
blowing constantly on Lake Erie in the
vicinity of Amherstburg, Ont Grave fears
are entertained as to the fate of the steam
dredge Dominion and her crew. It is
thought she either sank entirely or was
blown across the lake. She had a crew of
six men.

The Conjnnction of the Eclipse and
the Columbian Pageant
PEESAGES SOMETHING TERRIBLE.
It's a Warning for Americans to Cast Their
Totes Aright, bat
HE DOESKT DECLARE ON WHICH SIDE
New Haven. Oct 29. Eeferring to his
peculiar views upon events whose shado ws
he considers are now being cast betore,
Prof. Totten to-day spoke as follows:
Ic was not npon the first day of the new
era, but upon the last day of the old one,
that the sun was darkened, anil that is why
time Is so significant, although Mils was by
no means that which first di
rected my attention to the phenomenon.
It was the chronological value or the eclipse
that raises it to the importance of that one
which occurred upon the battle of Actium
and marked the beginning of the Angnstlan
era. lam very thankful that ours aid not
happen to fall npon the 21st instead or
the 20th.
But is it not. passing strange that T tolemio
value of tb'e eclipse of the 20th Inst, was left
L for m to designate, seeing, that the scien-
nnc worurcat' large nau witn one consent
pronounced the event of "no importance"
and hod, forgotten that the chronologlst and
historian, can And a scientific value where
even an astronomer may nott '
But, aside from Its unique scientific value
to the cbronologist and. historian, this
Columbian eclipse of October 20, 1893, let ,me
so call It has an ominous significance to all
who dwell upon the face ot the earth and
particularly to us of Manassen, the land of
lorgetfulness of all our tolls and our father's
house. (Gen. xli. SL)
The Meaning of the Columbus Pageant.
Let us look more closely at the picture. It
was a gala Hay. America was clothed in
bunting. Its red, white and blue stream
ers decked the land from North to
South and from East to West, so that
from heaven It might have looked
like one grand panorama of old glory. But
those that dwell on high and rnle on earth
look down with keener eyes than mortals,
and see between the bars; and they can see
but little for approval, for a land that has
forgotten Us traditions in a single oentnry is
certainly far on the road to a crisis propor
tionate to a degree of Its forxetfulness. And
so it cine about, that the fingers of a band
appeared upon the walls or heaven and
wrote a warning to the world in the sight
of all the assembled nations. The repre
sentatives of none were missing.
For lo, as that ten-mile pageant treaded
the broad-avenues of Chicago and entered
the Exposition grounds, a bar sinister was
drawn across the scene, and an pneanny
heraldio mark blurred our bright escutcheon.
Where were our augurs then? And where had
D aniel been had such a thine bestreaked
the plains of Shusban at a festival like that?
Think you for one moment that beaven,
which hath recorded the number of vonr
very hairs, was ignorant of that eclipse? If
so ye do deceive yonrselves, for lu the very
nature of things there can be no accidents,
and certainly none like that.
No Partisanship In This.
I speak without reference to any party
and to the adherent!, of all, and I conjure
the freemen of this Ian a to commence the
new Columbian era by voting once at least,
and at once, according to their consciences,
and so leave the result with the Lord
of Hosts Himself. It Is only by
acting; In earnest singleness of heart at this
Juncture, that even we, the most favored
nation upon sarin, can at nil recover
strength enonzb to see Jnst where this na
tion stands, and so perouanee con
serve our resources to meet the
coming crisis. Jror unless nil signs must
go for naught and the voice of history,
chronology and astronomy are moofcinsr that
of prophecy, we are already nv the edge of
days when human hearts will surely melt.
except they can Do ronna upon the side of
right and justioe and are strong in those
eternal principles which gave our land Us
pristine glory.'

The United States' Official Denial at Last
Beaches England.
fBT OABUt TO THB DISPATCU.l
London,-Oct 29. The -United States
Government has to-day sent a denial that
'p leuro-pneumonia still exists in America.
It is further denied that the case of the
animal which recently arrived on the
steamer England -was one of that disease.
The affection is declared to have been one
of a catarrhal nature only. One or two
English experts who examined the lungs of
the beast after death are of the same
opinion.
The animal has been traced to the vicin
ity of Cincinnati. It is known -that no
plenro-pneumonia exists there, and the dis
ease cannot appear spontaneously. It
seems probable that the English Board of
Agriculture will have to withdraw its
hasty allegation.

Told in a Letter Left by Her.
fBT CABLI TO THX DISPATCH.
London, Oct 29. The number of sui
cides of young wSmen in England has been
appallingly large of late. One of the sad
dest was that of Bose Clifford, a beautiful
girl who took a fatal dose of chloral at the
Charing Cross Hotel, this week. She left
one of the most pitiful letters ever penned.
She had been deserted by her lover, said to
be a prominent man, and after describing
his conduct without exposing his identity
she wrote:
I bavo learned to-day how uttorly alone I
am in the world, and it has filled me with a
grief and despair I cannot endure and live.
There were faults on both sides, but I think:
a little forbearance from the stronger would
have been more charitable and certainly
more honorable and manly. To thrust me,
alone as I am and knowing the tendency I
have to self-destruction, out in the world
without a friend anywhere was the act of a
coward, and by refusing to answer any of
my appeals for explanation he conduces to
my act, and perhaps wonders at the delay.
Why do IlingerT What hope can there do

THE SUBJECT ONCE ADJUDGED OSANB
rsrXCXAX. TZLEGOA2I TO TUX DISPATCH.!
Santa Bosa, Cat., Oct. 29. When
Eyraud was on trial in Paris counsel wished
to put Gabrielle Bompardinto the hypnotio
state in order that she might rehearse the
murder tragedy, but the Court refused.
Such a hypnotic scene was carried out here
to-day in the trial of Edward J. Livermash,
an arratic newspaperman, for the attempted
murder of Darius Etheridge. Livermash
became cranky about one year ago, and his
first escapade was to masquerade as a
negress in San Francisco. He was arrested
and fined.
He had carried on successfully several
country newspapers and had married the
daughter of a rich farmer. After his arrest
he became moody and talked of people who
were plotting against him. Finally he went
to Cloverdale, near Santa Bosa, and made a
savage assault upon old Etheridge, who ha
declared had promised to bequeath him a
fortune. He put six bullets into the old
man, but luckily none inflicted a mortal
wound.
Sent to an Asylum as Insane.
When arrested he pretended he mis
took Etheridge for the police judge whof1
fined him in San Francisco. He talked in-
coherently and at times declared he was
King of Siam. His attorney had him
brought before the insanity commissioners i
and he was sent to the asylum. This was four,'
montbiago. Last week he was released and;
suit was at once brought against him. Wit
nesses told the story of his vagaries. The
chief one was his wife. Then his counsel I
proposed to put Livermash into the hyp-i
notic state in court, and let him live over)
again the incident of the night of the at-1
tempted murder.
Dr. Gardiner, who has acquired great in
fluence over Livermash, hypnotised him by
means of waving a shining disk before hisi
eyes. Experts for the prosecution tried to'
see whether he was shamming. They rah a'
needle through his ear, but he never winced.
His face was pale as that of a corpse and his
limbs rigid, but be answered every question
asked and gave in minute detail what he
did on the eventful night as well as what ha'
thought
The Appearance of a Corpse Talking.
It was an uncanny sight to seaJhisap-
parently lifeless figure relating thirisa aj'
improbable as any in Stevenson's "i'sw.
Arabian Knights."" Finally the subject
began tb escape the doctors control. He
gave orders as the King of Siam, where
upon the doctor woke him out of the hyp-'
notic trance.
Dr. Gardiner then explained that Liver
mash was a victim of auto-hypnotism, that
is he could throw himself into a state which
resembled somnambulism, during which hs
was not responsible for his actions. It was
in such a state he attempted murder. Ha
was dangerous unless under control of a.
stronger nature.
The trial is still on and is exciting great
interest

Foster joined the party at Indianapolis and
returned with it to Washingtdn.
The so-called "accident" to the train oa
its homeward trip, a few miles west of Col
