New York, Nov. -V Republicans nt
headquarters in the Fifth Avenue hotel
this morning figured that Morton would
have a plurality of from 40,wu to JO.OUO.
Chairman lluckt-tt, who hus not hith
erto been doing much guessing, placed
his estimate for Morton at 'lO.Mu In the
state. He would not risk his reputation
by making any guess about the vote in
this city of in Kings county. Others at
Republican headquarters give It as
their opinion that Hill's plurality In
Xew York county will not be over
42,000, and that In Kings county It will
be kept down to 4,000, if not wiped out
altogether. i
The big betting at the tip-town ho

T.y the United Press.
Fairmont, W. Va Xov. 3 It will not
be much of a surprise to the Democratic
lenders themselves If William L. Wil
son Is defeated. They claim his elec
tion and seem much encouraged by the
large meeting iie had here, but give
no figures on lis election. Conceding
that Wilson arried the district two
years ago by i.ODl plurality, and taking
his views of both sides, it looks very
much as If chances were equal today.
Neither side will deny thut Iuyton
has made large gains, but Democrats
claim that Wilson will hold enough to
elect him.

LONDON BOMB OUTRAGE.
A SquuJ of Detectives from Scotland
Yard Investigate the -Mysterious Explosion-Many
Theories Advanced.
By the United Press.
London, Nov. 5. A spuad of detec
tives from Scotland Yard Is Investigat
ing the bomb explosion which occurred
at about midnight lust night In front
of the house of Reginald Brett, son of
the lute Lord Esher, in Tllney street,
Park lane, two doors from the house of
Sir Henry Hawkins, one of the Justices
of the queen's bench division of the
high court of Justice, who has sentenced
a number of anarchists. The police
found the remains of the bomb, which
was mude of iron piping one-half an
inch thick and three inches Hi circum
ference, the ends being closed with lead.
Suspicion rests on a man who alighted
in the vicinity of the house from a cub
which had conveyed, him there from the
Savoy hotel Just before the explosion.
The suspected person is not yet in cut
tody, but his arrest Is expected soon.
Colonel Sir Kdward Bradford, the chief
Comnilssloner of police, is directing the
Inquiry. . . '
The whole neighborhood sedmcd to be
in possession of uniformed police and
detectives who kept back the crowds
who had flocked to the spot. Some of the
residents of the locality were so
Alarmed by the explosion that they fled
from their houses, and their houses
have been under police guard since lust
night.
Among the theories which the police
are Investigating Is tho theory that the
explosion was the work 'of some person
who sought revenge for some decision
rendered by the late Lord Usher, when
master of the rolls, in which case the
miscreant must be sought for among
the many cranks who huvxe appeared
from time to time In the Rolls court.
Another theory is that the outrage wus
the result of the recently annnouncud
determination of the Irish Physical
Force party to begin an active dyna
mite campaign, and that the explosion
was Intended as some sort of a notice
or warning to the home secretary.

POLITICAL POINTS.
Colonel Blngorly thinks General Hast
ings will not have much more than
votes to spuro.
The Indications are that Objector Hol
muti's Republican opponent, .Mr. Watso
will be elected.
: The defeat of W. D. Uyntim In tho Sev
enth Imhiina district is predicted by Ko
publlcuns und admitted by the Demo
crats. Chairman llubcock believes that only
three of the eleven Democrats who
framed the Wilson bill will get back to
congress.
General Hastings expects to have SW.WVl
plurality nnd thinks thut Republicans will
elect twenty-seven congressmen In Penn
sylvania. James A. Connelly, a ftllow-lownsm.in
of Mr. Springer, Is the Republican can
didate In thut district, and according to
reports is likely to bu elected. ,
Mr. Wilson's defeat la prophesied by
Rvpublleuns and by conservative Demo
crats. The majority of his opponent, Mr.
Duyton, Is variously estimated from 'M to
l,6tw.
Leaving out of the calculation all dis
tricts south of .Mason und Dixon's line,
tho Republicans clulin that they will have
1W members of the next house or a major
ity of II.
Hero are some noted congressmen who
are on the anxious seat: "Cuckoo"
Traeey, of New York: Congressman "Joe"
Blbley, of Pennsylvania; McKttrlck, of
Massachusetts, and Lufe Pence, of Colo
rado. Unless Tom Johnson, the Cleveland, O.i
free trader, deliberately buys his way Into
congress he will be defeuted by a laruo
majority. His election would slhiply
how what great wealth can sometimes

Pittsburg, Pu.. Nov. 5. .lustlee Mitch
ell huuded down u decision today in
the Supreme court In the case of Itln
gle against the I'ensylvunlu Kulltoud
company, which Is of great Interest to
railroad employes. It Is an effort, to
breuk the conlruct entered Into by em
ployes when they enter the Relief asso
ciation auxiliary to the road. The case
curae up on an nppeul of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad company from a verdict
of $31,000 in favor of RIngle. The Judg
ment of the lower court was reversed,
and one entered for the railway com
pany on the point reversed.
The Justice held that "this enso Is
ruled by Johnson against the Penn
sylvania Railroad company. The es
sential principle therein established is
that a contract between employer and
employe, which preserves the latter all
his rights of action In case of negligence
until after the facts have occurred
and are known In him and Is not against
the public policy. There is no waiver
of any right of action that the person
Injured may thereafter be entitled to
take. It Is not the signing of the con
tract, but the acceptance of benefit
after the accident that constitutes .the
release. The Injured purty, therefore,
is not stipulating for the future, but
settling for the pust; he is not agreeing
to exempt the company from liability
for negligence, but accepting compen
sation for an Injury already caused
thereby."
