' -.' E THE G, 0, P, Ko Way by Which the Demo crats Can Carry New York by Honest Means. THE MISSOURI SITUATION Calls for .Action on the Part of the National Committee. The United States Court to Be Called Upon to Restore Voters' Names to the List The Figures Above the Harlem Favor tne Eepubllcans What the En glish Think of the Campaign Demo cratic Managers Claim to Feel at Ease They Are Sure, They Say, of 20,000 Majority Bits of Gossip Gath ered Around the Headquarters of Both Parties. fFrECTAI. TF-LEOIIAM TO THE DISrATCH.1 Xetv Yoek, 2Jov. 2. At Republican headquarters to-day things were generally quiet. There is an air of perfect confidence anionp members of the national Commit tee, and they rely upon the figures they have issued and are sure of success. They say that Democratic betting is done largely by gamblers and professional sports and that they are putting up their money on "tips" and tl.at these tips come from Mr. Sheehan, Chairman of the Democratic State Committee. It is further claimed by He publican managers that Mr. Sheehan knows perfectly well that the story told by registra tion figures in this city and other counties of the State is one that promises nothing but defeat for the Democratic ticket. According to the best figures possible, the largest vote the Democrats can expect below the Harlem is a plurality of 72,500, as against 71,038 in 18S& Above the Har lem, Republican managers claim the figures are all in their favor, excepting possibly Buffalo and Elmira. In Albany, where a fierce factional fight is going on, the regis tration is 23,926, as against 27,949 in 1888, and the Republican canvass there shows only 326 Republicans in the entire city are omitted from the roils. In all the Repub lican towns the registration is greater than in 1888. At that time Harrison's majority above the Harlem was 85,401, and this year the lowest conservative estimate places it 10,000 more. Xo "Way for Democrats to TYln. There is no way, so the committee say, that, if the election is half honest, the Democrats can win the day. It is asserted that Mr. Sheehan has sent out instrnctions to his precinct leaders in every county directing them to disregard the authority of Federal Marshals and Supervisors and to prevent them from stationing themselves where they can exercise visual supervision of the voting process. Democratic thugs and roughs are instructed to pick quarrels with -Republican officers and to do any thing to insure the absolute control of the electoral machine by Democratic officials. The Repnblicau "National Committee is fully posted ns to proposed methods, and Hi members say that if an attempt is made to carrv them out, election day in New York will be the liveliest witnessed in many a year. The Executive Committee of the Republican National Committee, during its session to-day, gave earnest con sideration to the situation in Missouri. The striking out of a large uumber of registered voters in the city ot St Louis by the Demo cratic Board of Registration Revision re ceived serious attention. The facte were presented by National Committeeman Kerens, and the determination was reached that action by the United States Court should be invoked through the State Com mittee, and the National Committee de cided to co-operate to the full extent of its power for the restoration of the voters to the list and the punishment of the alleged fraud. What Uio Britishers Think. Hon. George F. Hoar has returned from Europe, where he has spent the summer and devoted particular attention to the labor situation and particularly the manu facturing interestb in England. At head quarters to-day he said: "In England the great balance' of sentiment is in favor of Cleveland among all classes. They dislike America as a business rival, and this feel ing is most marked ainoug the manu facturers and tradesmen who are interested in the manufacture of articles which we are now making for ourselves. "The general tone among these people is one ot discouragement and an admission that the English are being driven from the markets by the American competitors. One large dea'ier said to me: 'I have been in business ten years and have done well, Vmericans can mke our goods cheaper "e c' ns will do I don't America can do iv maintaining "he great gains open'sg her ra Tabor of increase their edition, while on iple of the Ameri- success of free gov- , elevating principle down-trodden classes Democratic Standpoint. ration in New Jersey on Fri t which Mr. Cleveland will oe more in the nature of a gen jollification than a local campaign Club from all parts of the State participate, and Mr. Cleveland has nted to appear and make a speech. ew Jersey is his native State, and the demonstration will be largely in honor of his visit Cleveland continues the favorite among betting men, and New York State is the point ou which most of the bets are-made. Democratic managers claim to feel per fectly at ease over the result in New York State and are satisfied that 20,000 majority will be about the figure. They are amply supplied with money, and for the balance of the campaign will devote their time and attention to other States than this where the outlook is considered doubtful. Judge John, A. Holman, of Indiana, was at headquarters to-day and expressed him self as perfectly sure of the result there, and said that Judge Lrresham a action would prove more effective there than Conkling's in New York, in 1884; that Gresham had an immense influence, partic ularly in the southern part of the State, where Republicans idolize him. A number of Democratic leaders from the interior were in the city to-day and held consultations with Lieutenant Governor Sheehan and Chairman Murphy. .They all brought most encouraging reports of the condition ol affairs north of the city line and claimed the State as sure for Cleveland by from 20,000 to 30,000. Augustus H. Schen, Democratic State Committeeman iromErie county.sald: "Yon may put down our county as sure for Cleve land.

THE PRESIDENT CONFIDENT. Ho lias Jfo Doubt of Ills Re-election and Calmly Awaits the Notification How the Electoral Vote Is Figured Out py Him and His Friends. " "Wasiiixgton, Nov. 2. Special. President Harrison does not yet feel in clined to resume his publio tri-weekly re ceptions in the East room, and, therefore, disappointed his large number of visitors to-day. He was in his office by 9:30 o'clock, ready to confer with Private Secretary Hal iord, who left on the noon train for Indiana on a political stumping tonr. The Secre tary of State afterwards called and had a short consultation with the President For two davs Mr. Harrison has been busily engaged in the perusal of the hundreds of letters and telegrams of con dolence received since Mrs. Harrison's death. He completed the sad task last nitrht and at once prepared a brief but gracefully expressed general acknowledg ment. The President remained in his private office nearlv all day busily engaged xrith his executive duties. He put his signature to a number of pottoffice com missions growing out of appointments made soon after CongresR adjourned, which, owing to the demand upon his attention by Mrs. Harrison's illness and death, have been delayed until now. Callers Upon the President. An unofficial caller came to see the Pres ident, but did not sucoeed in his desire. This was "Commodore" A. E. Bateman, of New York, lormerly of "Washington, where be became famous in connection witil his financial transactions which resulted in the official disgrace of Judge Advocate General Swain, of the army. The "Commodore" holds the proxy of the Georgia Representa tive on the Republican National Com mittee, and has been quite conspicuous dur ing the present campaign. He confided such information as he had to Mr. Halford, although he did not want to. Secretary of State John W. Foster is the only Cabinet member in the city, and, as he is a man almost withont a State, he can re- main in Washington withont neglecting po- litical duties. He talked only office bi usi- ncss durinc his White House call this morning. The other Cabinet officers are all in their respective States. The President is very sanguine at the out look for Republican success. At the White House Mr. Halford states that the Presi dent has not the slightest doubt of his elec tion, and that he is calmly awaiting the an nouncement of the result without fear of disappointment. Figures Up a Big Majority. Friends ofthe President figure out for him an election without New York, and count New York's vote in addition. They expect in the neighborhood ot 270 votes for Harrison in the Electoral College. New York, Indiana, Connecticut and West Vir ginia thev regard as pretty safely Repub lican, and expect to lose nothing in the West except Nevada, though they concede that Colorado may possibly go against him. They are not counting on any Southern States, except West "Virginia, but believe that there- is chance of their 'getting Ala bama, North Carolina and Tennessee. They speak of it as a mere chance in these three States. A letter received from Mr. Clarkson this morning figures out 210 electoral votes as sure for Harrison to start with, and gives the Democrats 163. Ho counts New York, Indiana, Connecticut, West Virginia and Nevada as doubtful, with the chances in New York, Indiana and West Virginia favorable to Harrison. Private Secretary Halford appears to be the only member of the clerical force at the White House en titled to vote. All of the clerks on duty there have long since forfeited their citizen ship in their respective States by their con tinued residence in Washington. Russell Harrison has gone to New York, and he will probably make irequent trips between that city and Washington from now until election day. TRYING TO SAVE POORMAN. A Letter That Has Been Widely Circulated in His District Recently. SrECBnjfVll.l.'E, O., Nov. 2. Special. In the eflort to save Col. !Poorman from in evitable defeat, the following letter, marked "Personal and Confidential," has been, sent to the Republican Postmasters throughout this district, the Sixteenth, where Judge Pearson is running against Poorman for Congress. Certain Republicans are blaming Postmaster Sarratt here lor giving it out. Thfs letter comes from the offices of the Department ot State. It reads as below and is signed by S. B. Campbell, Chief Clerk: Dear Sir I desire to call your attention to the contest now on in the Sixteenth Con di esslonal district. If you want to aid CoL Poorman I suggest that you liavo a quiet talk with some of your prudent Democratic friends and say to them that it would he a personal favor to you and In your Interest if they will support him In this contest. You can say to tnem that by simply making a cross In the circle at the bead ot the Demo cratic tloket.and then making a cross in front of Col. Poorman'a name, the ticket would be a straight Democratic ticket with that ex ception. As a matter or pride he will want to run up to and it would gratify him crreatlv to run ahead of his ticket, and thus sbow his enemies they have done him no harm. AT THEIR OLD TRICKS. Democrats Endeavor to Create Factional Discord In Republican Hanks. Uniontowx, Pa., Nov. 2. Special The Democrats are trying to make a break in the Republican ranks in Fayette county by proclaiming that certain Republican candi dates for county offices are to be knifed by the friends of disappointed candidates. It is asserted that the Republican County Committee is making extraordinary efforts to elect Johns and will sacrifice the rest of the ticket to do it The story is that circulars urging these tactics have been sent through the "tough" region. Snch circulars are in existence, but they are not from Republican sources. The Democrats are circulating them in the hope of getting up a factional fight among the Republicans on the eve of election. They realize that the contest for Sheriff will' be close, with the chances in favor ot Johns, while the election of the rest of the Republican ticket is assured. Thus, the last hope of the local Democracy lies in getting up a party, fight at the last moment. FEAUD8 CHABGBD AT BUILEB, Prohibitionists Promise a Lively Time at the Election Tuesday. Butlee, Pa., Nov. 2. Special Charges being made here now are that both the Republican and Democratic political managers have been engineering schemes of dishonest registration. These are chiefly made by the Prohibitionists, who claim to have lists of names of parties registered who have no legal right to vote at the com ing election. They promise to prevent them trom vot ing, and to prosecute them if they attempt it. As several of the alleged political crooKS are repuiaoie persons wno insist that they will exercise the right of franchise the prospect isn't bad for a lively time next Tuesday.

SemocratR Spend More Than Their ponents All Around. Op- FIGURES FE0M RELIABLE SOURCES rsrrcijki. tkltoram to this dispatch. New Yobk, Nov. 2. Concerning the charges from irresponsible sources that this has been a boodle campaign, a little reflec tion will also dispel the mists in that direc tion. As each Presidental canvass has progressed from the time of Washing ton to the present day, more money has been required for the legitimate ex penses of a great Presidental fight. The members of the organization in the different parts of the country cannot be expected to give their time and money all the year around for the benefit of either party. There arc a thousand expenses, where in the old times there was little or no outlay. Campaign banners, music, orators (and just now there are 20,000 spouting in different parts of the country), pasters, ballots, booths for the new election ma chinery, special railroad trains, ve hicles to tote infirm voters to the booths and to the polls, the vast .squad of employes at the two national headquarters and the bales of campaign lit erature are only a few of the expenses which In other times would have bank-' rupted'the United States Treasury. This was the comment yesterday of the men en gaged in the campaign, men who do not feel that they should rest under the reflections cast upon them. Authoritative Statements Presented. The Dispatch is prepared this morning to submit tne authoritative statement ot tne expenses of the campaign up to date. It is not hearsay evidence; it comes from the highest sources. In the first place, the nomination ot President Harrison at Min neapolis cost $100,000. This money was used in paying the expenses of delegations "a little short of lands when they got on the ground." Railroad fares, hotel bills and a change of clothing or two, are necessary adjuncts at a great national convention. Since then the Republicans have raised $2,500,000, of which President Harrison and his Cabinet contributed $42, 000. In the Cabinet contributions personal gifts of 3. B. Elkins and John Wanamaker are nqt included. The expenses of the Democrats in the na tional fight date from February 22 last, when, at Albany, the Anti-Snap movement was inaugurated. Ex-Mayor Grace, as the head of that movement, demonstrated that he was no mean money-getter. Headquar ters were opened in New York, attached to which was a big literarv bureau, all in the interests of Mr. Cleveland's nom ination. The Syracuse convention was an expensive affair. Free tickets were pro vided, but prior to that the expenses of the delegates to that convention had to be met. The charge of the Anti-Snappers on Chi cago also cost something and all told the Anti-Snap movement cost $200,000. What Cleveland's Nomination Cost. The nomination of Cleveland at Chicago oost approximately $300,000. This state ment is made on the authority of a member of the National Democratic Committee. The expenses at National headquarters have been larger proportionately than at Mr. Carter's shop. The Dem ocratic Committee has been com pelled each week to face a salary list two yards long. Ex-President Cleve land and the members of his Cabinet from 1884 to 1888 have contributed $60,000. This does not include the money raised by Mr. Whitney in New York, Chicago, Philadel phia, Cleveland and Boston. The distribution of funds from the two headquarters in the last two days will per haps demonstrate clearly more than any thing e'se just where the fight is. The schedule is as follows: Republican New York State, $60,000; New York Citv, $50, .000; Indiana, $250,000; Connecticut", $100, 000; Alabama. 5100,000; Delaware, $25,000. Total, $1,125,000. Funds have also been sent to Virginia, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ne braska and Kansas. The Democratic schedule is furnished by eminent uumonty as ioiiows: JNew York State, $300,000: New York 'Citv. $100,000; Indiana. $140,000; Ohio, $50,000; Virginia, $15,000; West Virginia, $35,000; Connecticut, $75,000; North Carolina, $40, 000; total, $755,000. In the loregoing schedule the amounts sent into New Jersey, and. distributed from the branch headquar ters of the National Democratic Committee in Chicago, are not included. VALUABLE BELIC FOB THE FAIR. A Historical Catholic Vase to Be Sent From Wisconsin. Evening Wisconsin. Probably the most valuable and interest ing relic to be exhibited at the World's Fair by the Wisconsin State Historical So ciety is the famous ostensorium which was presented to a Catholic mission in Northern Wisconsin by Nicholas Perrott about 200 years ago. The ostensorium is a silver vase used in Catholic churches during the celebration of the mass. The inscription on the base gives 1686 as the date of presentation, or only five years later than the date on tne oldest tombstone at Plymouth. In 1637 the mis sion at Depere was burned, and it is the supposition that the priest in charge buried the sacred vessel, as it was unearthed in 1802, nearly 150 years later, by men digging" a ceiiar live miies irom tne site ot the old church. A translation of the inscription on the ostensorium, which is in French, is as fol lows: "This Soleil was given by M. Nich olas Perrott to the mission of St. Francis, In the Bay of Puans, 1686." The vase is made of silver and handsomely finished. It is at present stored away in the vaults of the State Historical Society at Madison. STILL JOB THE PB0HIBITI0S PABTY. Resolution Adopted by the National Con vention of the W. C. T. V. Denver, Nov. 2. Among the reports submitted at the W. C. T. U. Convention to-day was that of Miss Jennie Smith on work among railroad employes. She pleaded for more workers in this line in local unions and more assistance in furthering her efforts. Miss Winifred Stalling, Corresponding Sec retary of the Colorado W. C. T. TJ., pre sented Lady Henry Somerset, Vice Presi dent of the world s organization, with a fine collection of views from the magnificent scenery of Colorado and specimens of the flowers of the State. Lady Somerset re sponded in a neat speech. The report of the Committee on Reso lutions was presented and adopted. The resolutions tender the moral support of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union to the Prohibition party; urge Congress to make a full investigation of the liquor traffic, and to publish the amount of alco holic liquors manufactured and consumed and the relation of such intoxicants to erime, poverty and death. The action of Congress, in ordering the Columbian-Exposition to be closed up on Sunday, is ap proved. r Farm Implements In Japan. The farm implements in use in Japan were, until recent years, very primitive. The plough was very small, with only one handle, and a thrashing machine was not known. The spade and hoe did the larger lhare of tilling, and sickles were merely straight iron blades some four inehes in length, pointed and sharpened on one side, and set at right angles in a wooden handle about 16 inches long. CLIMBING A HIGH X0 US TAW. A British Exploring Party Breaks th Record in the Hindu Kosh. New York Evening Post. I A very brilliant mountain-climbing feat, which has probably beaten all previous records, is reported by Mr. Conway, who is at the head of a British exploring party in the Hindu Rush. They reached the foot of the Baltoro Glacier early in August, and proceeded up it for tour days. After climb ing two peaks 18,000 feet and 20,000 feet high, they saw the great peak known as "K 2," and discovered that its neighbor hood was described wrongly on the maps. They also found that the Baltoro Glacier is much longer than had been supposed. At the head of it is a high peak not marked on the maps, which Mr. Conway named the Golden Throne. They reached the foot of it on August 18, and worked up behind it, climbing over 2,000 feet through a verv broken ice-lalL It took four davs to establish and victual a camp, at a "height of 18,000 feet. They moved next day to a camp 19,000 feet, and1 the day following to one about 20,000 feet high. Thence, on the 26th, thev started for a real climb, and, having reached a point over 23,000 feet high, they found they were on a mountain entirely cut off from the Golden Throne, which was still 2.000 feet above, them. The peak they ascended whioh they named the Pioneer Peak com manded a magnificent view, especially in the Hunza direction, which they could see to the distance of at least 200 miles. They suffered from the great altitude, but not severely, and they could have climbed at least 1,000 feet higher, and perhaps more. They slept that night in their camp, 20,000 feet above sea level Mr. Conway has gone toLeh, for the pur pose of comparing his barometer with the standard there and accurately reckoning the height of the Pionear Peak. He be lieves that he attained a height at least 1,000 feet above Sehlagintweifs 22,230 feet in Nepaul, whioh is the highest climb hitherto authentically recorded. THE BIG 8EAECH LIGHT. Its Operation on Mt. Washington Affords a Great Entertainment. St. L,onIs Globe Democrat. A, C. Shaw gives some interesting details concerning the operation of the Mt. Wash ington search light. Thousands of copies of the code by which the transmission of signals to different points i? effected have been distributed in the country around Mt. Washington, and the flashing of the light at night affords entertainment to the whole country side, especially to the visitors at hotels, who gather in knots on the piazzas and discuss the all-absorbing topic of "search lights," and endeavor to read the messages signaled from the mountain. Mr. Shaw was at Maplewood, 20 miles from the top of the mountain by air line, when the projector was turned on to the hotel for about 20 minutes one clear night. The light, even at that distance, was too bright to be looked upon comfortably, and by it the time on a watch could be distinct ly told, and the type of an ordinary head line could be read with ease. On white surfaces, snch as the front of the hotel, a curious shimmering effect was produced. Small, dark patches seemed to float con stantly over the surface, caused possibly by the magnifying ot minute particles of vapor in the atmosphere, or by some other phe nomena not yet explained. The signaling is accomplished by a metal damper in the inside of the projector, which can be lowered between the arc and the lens by means of which flashes of short or long anration can be maae. While possessing the great advantage of affording a means of transmitting intelli gence over a wide tract of country, this search light will be deprived of much of its usefulness nnder special conditions unless it can be utilized in connection with a secret code, and such a method ot communication will doubtless be made to supplement that already in operation. MU1UAL WBECKIBG PBIYILEGES. Sir. Harrison Waiting for Acanadlan Action Before If suing Ills- Proclamation. Washington, Nov. 2. The dispatches printed in certain Canadian papers rela tive to the failure to consummate the negotiations looking to the allowance by the United States and Canada for mutual wrecking privileges in the boun dary waters betweeu the two countries, and by implication, placing the blame on the Department ot State here, are said to be founded upon a misunderstanding of the facts. On May 24, 1S90, Congress passed an act permitting Canadian wrecking vessels to succor distressed or wrecked Canadian ves sels in the contiguous waters ot the United States. But two conditions were im posed. One was that the President should give enect to the law by proclama tion only after the Canadian Gov ernment had extended like privileges to vessels only in contiguous Cana dian waters. The other was that the agreement should apply to the St. Law rence canals, as well as the canal svstem connecting the Great Lakes. Ud to" date the Canadian Government has failed to meet this last condition, which was very plainly laid down in the United States "act, but instead the Canadians seem indisposed to include their cannls in the scope ot their act. This bein? the case the President is obliged to withhold his proclamation in compliance with the act of Congress and the Department of State therefore cannot be charged with responsibility for the delay. HDEEICANE3 IN SOUTHERN SEAS, Ten Lighters Sunk In One Storm at Port of Spain, West Indies. New Yokk, Nov. 2.

Although that is not probable, they will benefit by the use and freedom of handling implements that this sort of education gives. And why should not men and women, even though they never expect to lollow any of these occupations as a means of livelihood, un ders and their uses and details? There are health, wealth and peace of mind in the ability to construct things or to repair any little accident; and one thing must be borne in mind: when the dexterous management of such details is acquired, a thousand and one things useful and beautiful will suggest themselves. Abook-shelf, cupboard, cabi net or bracket fitted into some corner is made very available with a little ingenuity and a small amount of work and material, and such a thing is so convenient. , There is another advantage in thorough instruction of this sort, and that is that one knows what tools to use and the proper way to keep them in order. Every pupil is ex pected to understand this thoroughly, and its uses are manifold. The awkward, ig norant person who attempts a piece of fine wood-work with unsuitable tools is laboring under serious disadvantages.

Several Smart Ways In Which the Hour or Day Is Learned. Pearson's Weekly Clocks are regarded as curiosities by the Hindoos, and for this reason half-a-dozen or more timepieces are often found in the apartments ot wealthy Hindoostaneea, They are not used as timepieces, but simply for ornament, since the old-fashioned way of telling the hour of the day in India, by calculating the number of bamboo lengths the sun has traveled above the horizon, is entirely satisfactory to the natives. It issaid that in the country police station in India where the European division ot the hours is observed, time is measured by plac ing in a tnb of water a copper pot in which a small hole has been bored. It is supposed that it will take one hour for the water to leak out into the pot so as to fill it and sink It. when the policeman sees that the pot has disappeared, he strikes the hour upon a bell-like gong. If he is smoking and dozing, the copper pot may have disappeared several minutes before he discovers the fact; but the hour is when he strikes the gong. See that hump? Trade-Mirk rej. Apr. 19, yx.

I know it will do it, and then only will I buy you the stone blocks to build houses with. You need strength first to be come a man before you build houses." Dr. Fricke, a well-known practitioner of Philadelphia, writes: "I have tried Johann HofTs Malt Extract not only on myself, but also on a great number of patients with marked suc cess in cases of convalescence, im paired digestion, for mothers while nursing, for children, and in general debility, and have found it to be an excellent beverage for building up the system. In my own case of impaired digestion it has benefited me more than all other remedial agents which I have .used." Be sure to obtain the "Genuine" which has the signature of "Johann Hoff" on the neck of every bottle. Eisner & Mendelson Co., New York. Th LIQUORS FOR -MEDICINAL PURPOSES.
