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."

EDISON'S LATEST.
Now Electrical Machinery for Trent
lug Low Grade Iron Ores.
New York, Oct. 27. 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. FIGHT WITH INDIANS,
A Gninc Warden in .Minnesota Causes
Trouble by Seizing Trapping Out
fits and Guns.
St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 27. A special
from the Leech Lake reservation In
Northern Minnesota, says:
Information by special messenger has
just reached the reservation that a
fight occurred yesterday between two
Indians and n game wnidon, in which
all three were killed: nlso one Indian
woman. A deputy gnme wnrden.whose
name cannot bo ascertained, arrived at
an Indian camp on nn island between
Bemldjt and the Cass Lake reserva
tion, nnd seized two guns and a trap
ping outfit which belonged to Kale Kali
Quash ond Mnhchoanncquuh, two In
dians on the Cass Lake reserve. He
also made an attemnt to seize some
furs which they had, but they resisted,
whereupon the warden clubbed the
older Indian with a gun until he be
came unconscious, and then shot him.
He next shot the other Indlnn and his
wife, mortally wounding both. In the
meantime, tho older Indian, having re
covered consciousness, shot and killed
the warden. Dr. E. S. Hart, overseer
in charge of the sub agency, sent Mar
tin Branchnud nnd n detail of Indian
police to the scene to investigate the
matter thoroughly. No detailed ac
count of the fight can be hnd, as the
only Information received as yet was
brought In by an Indian boy 12 or 13
years of age, who witnessed the shoot
ing. Considerable excitement exists here
among the Indians nnd Dr. Hart Is un
willing to express any opinion regard
ing tlie effect It may have upon them.

u flour famine at Dawson City In the
midst of plenty. Cliff T. Moore, ac
companied by his son and two other

ulators cornered all the Hour in the
city, and, whilst their warehouses were
lllled to overflowing, there was not an
ounce for sale. Threats were being
made that the warehouses would be
raided and that tho people would help
themselves, paying, of course, a liberal
price for what thev took.
The stores would not sell more than
six cans of milk, three cans of meat
and other articles in proportion to uny
one person. Canned meats sold nt 73
cents n can, milk at CO cents, beans at
25 cents, sugar at 30 cents n pound.
Six steamers were dally expected to
arrive from St. Michaels. Their ar
rival would end tho Hour corner and
Insure ample provisions for the winter.

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.

ively to the two portions set aside for
the daughters, Mrs. Lowden nnd Mrs.
Carolan. Norman B. Ream and Rob
ert T. Lincoln are appointed executors.
The total value of the estate Is shown
by the petition for letters testnmen
tury to be $7,600,000. Of this nmount
$0,800,000 Is personal property and $800,
000 realty. Attorney Runnells, who
prepared the will, said that these fig
ures are a conservative but fair esti
mate of the value of ithe estate.
QUAY IS FOR HARMONY.
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.
Every Indication points to a rousing
Republican victory for the enltro
ticket next Tuesday. The party's
lighting blood Is up at last and that
portends a Waterloo for tho enemy.
But no individual Republican should
relax his efforts. This is the clianco
of a life time to rivet and clinch Re
publican supremacy in once Demo
cratic Lackawanna.

sembles. 'Madrid, Oct. 27, A formal denial was
issued by the government of Spain to
day of the statement that tho Spanish
minister at Washington, Senor Dupuy
de Lome, had presented a note to the
government of the United Stntes on the
subject of the filibustering expeditions
which are nlleged to have left the
American ports for Cuba. The Span
ish minister, it is explained, only made
a verbal complaint to the government
nt Washington regarding tlie depar
ture of filibusters from ports In tho
United Stutes.
Washington, Oct. 27. 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.
TIIE ECLIPSE OF THE SUN.

Oakland. Cnl.. Oct. 27. An expedition

Professor Burckhalter has nn inven
tion of his own which he expects to
glvo the best results ever obtnlned in
photographing the eclipsed sun. He
took It to Japan with him, but tho fact
that there was a heavy storm on the
day of tho eclipse there provented Its
being tested.
