GLANCE AT THE SITUATION Election of the Republican Ticket Seems Assured. Republicans Who Ilnvo Hcon MUlend by Low Newspapers Into the Hcllcf That the Cnndidntc Stood Somo Clianco of Election lluvc Awak ened to the True Stnto of A Hairs and Will Support General Trncy on Election Bay--A riitrnlity of 00, 000 is i:pcctcd--Gcncral Sickles Will right for His Old Comrade. New York, Oct. 27. The Rcpubtcnn City committee met at Republican headquarters this afternoon. Mr. Quigg presided, and all or the members of the committee were present. Reports were received from all of the district leaders and captains. They nhow that General Tracy's election is assured. Senator Piatt said after the meeting that after a canvass rf all the enrolled Itepubllcans in New York and in Brooklyn and Queens county he felt convinced that instead of General Tra cy getting a plurality of 30,000 he would have a plurality of C0.000. General Daniel E. Sickles sent word to Republican headquarters this fore noon thnt he Intended to vote for Gen eral Tracy for mayor, and do all in Ills power to secure the election of the regular Republican ticket. General Sickles has been one of the mast prom inent men In the Democratic party, his last public olllce being that of a Dem ocratic congressman. PRESIDENT QUIGG'S STATEMENT Following a long caucus of Republi can district leaders today, President Quigg, of the Republican committee, gave out the following statement: "The Republican organization has carefully canvassed the vote in every election district of every borough In the new city. Several assembly districts have been canvassed two times, and pome have been canvassed three. Each of these reported canvasses shows that Tracy's strength Is growing and that Low's support which has never been large, becomes smaller every day. There are only two districts in New York city in which Mr. Low will have any substantial Republican support. These are the 27th and the 29th. Jji the 19th he will not have 2,000 votes, and three-qunrters of what he does secure will be Democratic. rile proportion of Democratic votes to Republican votes In his support holds good in the Twenty-first, the Twenty-third, the Twen-ty-ilfth nnd the Thirty-first and the Trans-Harlem districts. In all those districts, they being the districts out of which practically the whole of the Low vote will be drawn, the n't effect of Mr. Low's candidacy will be to in crease the majorities of .the Republi can party over Van Wyck, Low's vote will be smaller than Van Wyck's in each district. We shall carry New York for Tracy by just ahout the plu rality over Van Wyck which was ob tained by Governor Black last year over Porter. "In Brooklyn the situation Is similar to the situation in Now York, but the proportion of Democrats to Republi cans In Low's following will naturally bi smaller than It Is here. There the Ploportlon will be about half and half. The plurality for Tracy over Van AVyck will be greater in Brooklyn than in New York, and Is likely to reach 10.000. Low's vote will leave the two great part lea as to comparative strength in just about their normal conditions, but George's vote will so reduce Van Wyck's as to give us for Tracy a first rate plurality. On th conditions as they exist today Low might have in Biooklyn as many as PO.O00 or, in be liberal, SS.OOO votes. Rut his Republican support Is rapidly fall ing away from him. There art thous ands of Republicans who have been misled by the Nw York Tribune and the New York Mail and Express Into the idea that Low has some chance of election. They are llndlng nut. now that this Idea Is pieposterous and that It Is being circulated by these newspa pers maliciously and dishonestly. Tills fait is getting abroad throughout the wards In Brooklyn, where the Low boom has been inflated with the nat ural result that the gas Is going out of the boom and the boom Is collaps Ins." THEY HAVE A LARGE "WAD." J Kennedy Ted. the secretary of tho Citizens' union, hits Issued a state ment to the public saying that further contributions to tlie Union campaign fund are not ne-.dtd. Tho statement ssys: "Tho people's response to the appeal of the Citizens' union for contributions to Its campaign fund have been so nu merous and generous thnt the treas ury now contains all the money which can be legitimately expended between now nnd election day. No candidate on the Citizens' union ticket has con tributed directly or Indirectly one cent to the treasury, nor have contributions of corporations been solicited or ac cepted, "A faithful statement of expend! turts will be rendered to you as soon as my accounts can be audited. "Further contributions are unnccos wry, and the surplus fund they would now create would bo nn embarrassment to the finance committee. It would bo dllllcult, perhaps even impossible, to restoie tiueh surplus legally and right fully, since a great number of the contributions, largo and small, which LOOMING UP have readied the treasury, came from nn anonymous source. "1 take this public meaim of averting such nn embarrassment." DR. M'OLVNN APPEARS. The I'ninniis Clergyman Visits Henry George's Headquarter. New York, Oct. 27. Rev. Edwr.rd Mc Glynn, whose advocacy of Henry George's theories brought him into conflict with Archbishop Corrlgan in JSSC, is a frequent visitor at George's hr-udquarters. While there todny Dr. McGlynn said that there was no clash between the Catholic church and Henry George's theories. He spoke it h'is own case and asserted that he had made no retraction or recantation of the position lie had taken eleven years ago. Ho said that Mgr. Satolll's chief mission to this country was to bring about a reconciliation between him and Archbishop Corrlgan. Dr. McGlynn said thnt he did not perform the cere mony of submission by "bell, book nnd candle," but remained standing during the short ceremony, which lasted about three minutes, and then knelt before Mgr. Satolli asking his blessing. As Was to be expected, the blcyclo has appeared ns a factor In the cam paign. Theodore B. Willis, nt present commissioner of works of the city of Brooklyn, Is a candidate for the regis ter of the borough of Brooklyn. In his Interest there Is published a statement of the street Improvements made in tho years of Mr. Willis' incumbency of the commlsslonershln and the amount of money a very large sum expend ed therefore. The statement concludes with an exhortation to bicyclists to vote for the man who has done so much for their conveniences nnd pleasure. WRECK THEORIES. Speculation ns to the Probnblo Cause ofthc Garrison l)isnstcr--Mnnngor Touccy Relieves the Machinery Wns Broken. Cold Springs, N. Y.. Oct. 27.-Chief Detective Humphrey, of the New York Central railroad, was asked today If the arrest of any person was contem plated on suspicion of having caused the wreck of the State express. Mr. Humphrey admitted that the railroad suspects that tho roadbed was blown out by dynamite, but refused to di vulge any information. He said that his Instructions were to report the re sult of his Investigation personally to President Depew. The diver who was at work today searching In the river for the bodies of Engineer Foyle and Stenographer Mc Kay had no success. He says that the bodleB are either burled in the mud or have been washed away. Two divers, assisted by a steam dredge, will con tinue the search tomorrow. The body of the woman known as No. 12 is still unidentified. General Manager Toucey, of the New York Central, believes that the disas ter was caused by a break In the en gine's machinery. Mr. Toucey said to day: "I believe something broke on the engine and ploughed up the ground nnd parred the roadbed so that It loos ened and slid Into the river. The sud den stopping of the speed of the train caused the cars to run up on each other and helped to loosen the roadbed. That is what I believe caused the accident. That is the conclusion I reached from my investigation of the facts. If there had been a dynamite explosion before the train reached that place, the en gine could not have passed over it nnd soventy-ilvo feet besides, us it did."

Tho Electrical Engineer will publish tomorrow tho llrst nuthorltatlve nccount of Thomas A. Edison's success in recovering by electrical menns the iron contained In low grade ore. The Inventor's experi ments have been carried on during tho past six yenrs nt the old Ogden Iron mines, a few miles from Dover, N. J., where ho has built up a plant covering several acres of ground and which, after many experiments, is now capa ble of producing dally from 1,000 to 1, noo tons of almost chemically pure iron. Tho ore contains on the average about twenty-five per cent, of Iron nnd resembles In appearance a very poor quality of gray rock. Mr. Edison states that there are 200,000.000 tons of tills ore o.l the land Immediately surround ing his plant, from which can be pro duced C0,000,000 tons of Iron. His pro cess, In brief, consists of Masting the ore from the mountain sides and then by means of steam shovels nnd minia ture railroad cars conveying it to mas sive crushers where It is broken up nnd passed on to other mills, where it is pulverized. The powder is then al lowed to fall In close proximity to elec tro magnets, which deflects tho iron to ono side, nnd the non-metallic mat ter falls m the other side by gravity. From the time the ore is blasted until it is resolved into this metallic form nnd compressed Into briquettes for shipment, the process is entirely auto matic.

NARROW ESCAPE OF SEVEN WOMEN They Climb Down u Tire Ladder in Snfcty--II. It. Melds, a Clerk, Re ceives Serious Injuries--All Rec ords of tho Chief Engineer Are Ho-stroyed--Loss Over 8000,000. St. Louis, Oct. 27. A lighted cigaret te dropped by a thoughtless clerk Is supposed to have caused the flro which tills afternoon practically gutted the white stono building nt the cornor of Seventh and Chestnut streets, occu pied by the general olllces of the AVn bash railroad. At 1.23 o'clock, Just after the clerks had returned from their noon recess and were beginning to work, a police man standing on tho corner below noticed a small tongue of flame shoot out from a window in tlie fifth story of the building which' was used as a storage attic. A puff of black smoke followed, and the otllcer rushed into tlie building shouting the alarm. In stantly there was a confused rush for every means of exit. Fortunntely tho stairway was wide, tlie building in former years having been used for the public school library and the poly technic Institute. The attic was stored with old papers and documents, and within five min utes was a roaring futnace. During the excitement seven young women employed in one of the Inner mailing rooms on the fourth Hour had not been notified and were still working unconscious of their peril. When they did discover their situation they found to their h'orror that It was impossible to reach tho stairs ns the stairway was burning ilerrely. They appeared at the window and a crv of horror went up from the street?. ' The tire escape!" shouted the crowd, and the young women, comprehending, disappeared and a moment later climbed out on tlie Iron platform of the e?cape. They hesitated, but th advancing flames gave them courage, and th'ey. started -n their descent, reaching the stwet In safety. With the lirst alarm the ral estate agents who occurlod the lower floor began removing their books and papers. Fire Chief Swlngley sent in a general alarm but owing to the narrow street nnd the nat work of wlies, it required fifteen minutes to hoist and train the stand pipes. ELECTRIC WIRES CLIPPED. Both the two top floors were doomed, and it was soon apparent that the lire had gained such headway an order was given to cut the electric wires. Dense throngs blocked every thoroughfare. Without warning tho wires were clipped and In an Instant the crowds were madly falling dock as nasnes or flro sputtered from the ends of the deadly wires that came falling to the ground. Nobody was injured, uuc a wire struck a fire horse, killing It in Its tracks. At 1.G0 o'clock the roof fell with a crnsh, sending burning embers into the ulr. which fell on adjoining buildings and started fires, but the promptness of the firemen prevented further conflagrations. A. R. Fields, a clerk, was carrying some books from the tlrst floor when the crash came. Flying debris struck him on the head, tearing It open down to the eyes and nose. His Injuries may prove fatal. At 2.30 o'clock the fire was practically under control, and at C o'clock, with the exception of patches of burning embers, had been extin guished. Nothing was left of the two top floors but the broken walls, while the three lower lloors suffered damage from water and falling debris. The flro came so suddenly that the Wabash company was prevented from saving anything. Every record In tho office of the chief engineer, rights of way, real estate deeds nnd surveys of every description were destroyed. An officer of tho company estimates their loss at $500,000. Statements place valu ation of the building at $100,000. Tho Wabash company had occupied new quarters before the flro was under con trol. TO WIPE OUT DISGRACE.

He Greets Old Time Toes in a Cor dial MaiiUGr--l'rcpnring for tho Gubernatorial right. Philadelphia, Oct. 27. Harmony will be the watchword of the Republican campaign in Pennsylvania. Senator Quay made, that apparent this after noon when he deliberately went to the headquarters of the city committee and greeted Dave Martin and his other old time foes of the "combine" and they nil said they were glad to see him. The senator afterwards declar ed that only state politics had been discussed. Harmony will do much toward bringing out a big vote for the ticket to counter balance that cast for the Independent candidate. Next year will come the gubernatorial fight as well ns that of Quay for re-election to the senate, nnd a big vote this fall for the independent candidate might mean an independent candidate for governor and an expensive contest In consequence. Senator Quay afterwards dined with Candidate Beacom, Senator Penrose, and several others. He left on the 8.50 traJn tonight for his home In Beaver but promised to be back by Thurs day to remain nnd help Chairman El kin until the close of the campaign. ON TO VICTORY.

The event of the day at the state department was the receipt of the long'expected cable gram from United States Minister Woodford at Madrid, transmitting the answer of .the Spanish government to his representations in the interest of peace In Cuba. Tills message began to come In Installments about 2 o'clock this morning, and it was nearly noon today before it was all In hand at tho siate depavtment. It was not tho length of the message that occupied the wires all of that time, but the fact that it was all In groups: of figures and that It was probably being filed in small batches as it was turned into tlie complicated state department cipher In Madrid. All of this work had to he undone at tho state department and the message translated from the cipher back again into good English. This occupied near ly nil of the day. so that it was half past 3 o'clock before the first fair copy of the message was turned out. It was not so long; In fact there wero a little less than one thousand words in the message, for Mr. Woodford, In stead of cabling the whole of the Span ish answ.er to his note had contented himself with reducing the matter to a brief outline. The first copy was taken at once to the president, not being en trusted to a messenger but being de livered by Chief Clerk Michaels In per son at the White house. AVILL NOT BE MADE PUBLIC. After due opportunity had been nl lowed the president .to read the mes sage an nppllention was made for a statement of Its contents or nature. This was declined by Secretary Porter and It was said that under no circum stances would the correspondence bo made public before consideration by the cabinet. From unofficial Information that has reached certain administration officials in advance of this measure of Mr. Woodford's ns to tho nature of the Spanish reply, it Is evident that In neither language nor subject matter Is the communication likely to bo tak en as offensive by our government. It may be, It Is true, regarded as In sufficient to meet the issue presented by Mr. Woodford In his note, but offi cials of the state department say that in view of what has already been ac complished by the new Spanish, cab inet in reforming abuses in Cuba. In removing Weyler, and In projecting what appears to be a liberal measure of autonomy, our government will certainly rest, at least until congress assembles, and afford the new Spanish government a reasonable time to curisfl out its plans.
