PARIS,' Oct. -28. M. Waldeck-Rousseau
yesterday delivered at Toulouse the anx
iously awaited speech outlining the policy
end programme- of the -Government in an
ticipation of the reassembling- of Parlia
Cient. The occasion was the laying of the
corner-stone of- the new barracks there.
The Premier left Psri3"Saturday and ar
rived at Toulouse this morning (Sunday).
He was Teceived by the Mayor, Senators
cad Deputies of the department and
other officials. The city was gaily dec
orated and the populace cheered M. Waldeck-Rousseau.
The Archbishop of Tou
louse and Generals of the Army Corps
delivered addressees assuring the Premier
In behalf of the clergy and the Army, re
spect for him and attachment tb the
Republic Replying to the assurances of
the Generals, M. Waldeck-Rousseau
said:
"The Army awakens too many hopes
xmt to be cherished by the country. "We
xe too jealous of the future of the Army
not to strive to have France not mercy
follow the progress of other nations, but
to outstrip them. We are sure tix& Army
will respond to these efforts by devotng
itself entirely to its noble task, and will
Jeave no "vacancies in its ranks or divi
sions "which only weaken it."
The laying of the coraer-stone took
place la the afternoon. The Premier re
served his principal effort for the banquet
"Which followed the ceremony. Th's was
given by the municipality In an ancient
Jacobite convent, where the dining hall
was elaborately decorated with the tri
colors. Devoting the principal part of his
speech to answering criticisms, he said he
had -not replied before because the Cab
inet had received the widest and clearest
mandate because it was time to act and
n.ot time to talk, and because he and
his colleagues looked to the Chamber of
Deputies alone for appropbatlon or cen
sure of their conduct. Alluding to the
great demonstration of Mayors in Paris.
which he described as the "most striking
consecration any regime has ever re
ceived," he said that France had in. this
way shown how little she was moved by
biased accusations against the Min'stry-
Referring to the support which the So
cialists had given the Government, he
remarked that the Government desired
ihe support of "those, who, having al
ways served the Republic, are better enti
tled to defend her than those -nho have
opposed her." Proceeding to sketch tve
gloomy situation that existed when the
Cabinet took office "with agitation in
creasing and nationalism engaged in daily
battles with the police" he said that io
face this condition of things a sincere
concentration of Republicans was brought
about, ""yet not by conceding to eah
member of the Cabinet something -which
separated him from the others, but, by
excluding everything that tended to di
vision, and retaining all that tended to
unity."
"It is said," he continued, "that we
are leading the country to ruin, whoa
really it will be but only an exaggeration
to say that wo have saved her from
ruin."
Going on to discuss th-3 Government
programme, he said it did not include
collectivism, but that this did not sig
nify that the policy of Republican union
excluded social forms. He spoke of the
success of the Government in suppressing
systematic agitation and street demon
strations, adding that the country might
hope during the present calm to res
marks of sincere repentance on, the part
of the anti-Republicans."
Alluding to what he described as the
"last act of the poignant Dreyfus drama,"
he said that the judgment was given In
complete Independence, and that the de
cision remained Tespected, but at the
same time humanity had found satisfac
tion in a "measure of clemency that has
been ratified by the generous heart of
our great country, which awakens at
.last." He announced that he would ask
the Chamber of Deputies, as he had al
ready asked the Senate, to pass a bill
of effacement as a "'measure necessary
to assure definite appeasement.'
"While these internal events are being
accomplished," he continued, "our ps -tlon
is being strengthened abroad, where
we are supported when necessary by the j
Valor of pur Army. Our policy has re
gained for us our former authority and
success. '"We have shown ourselves de
termined to abdicate nothing of our rights
end we are convinced that aggreslve blus
tering has nothing in. common with true
patriotism.
"When the exposition opened the Gov
ernment deemed that, after undergo'ng
such violent shocks, the country would
be left to taste the benefits of a needful
truce. This period of peace has been
filled with glorious work. No more fruit
ful ideas were ever agitated than came
to the front in the exposition congresses
The Premier dwelt upon the necessity
of enforcing discipline among State o
ficlals. He expressed the hope that the
budget would be voted, and referred to
the projected diminution of the excise
duty on alcohol, which is one of the
leading internal questions. He enlarge 1
upon the necessity that the Chamber
should pass a law regulating associations,
a measure directed against religious con
gregations. He dilated upon the dangers
attending the accumulation, by such par
ties of immense properties, and the evil
of teaching prejudice to the Republic, de
claring that "the existence of such a
Tival power within the State constitutes
an Intolerable situation which demands
on immediate solution. He anJOuncrd
thai the Government would present a
bill providing for old-age pensions.
"'The crisis through which we have just
passed." he said in conclusion, "has been
one of growth. We have triumphed over
death germs. We appeared to be pros
trated, but we find ourselves stronger
than ever. If we seemed beyond recovery,
it is only to regain the ardor ond -union
that formerly made u? so confident and
full of high hopes. We have restored our
chattered unity. A great democratic
party may be formed with increased
activity on the part of the Government
end increased Recurlty for our Institutions
ns well as more liberty, more fraternity
and more justice."
The speech was followed with cheering
that lasted several minutes, the assembly
raising cries of "Vive Waldeck-Rousseau"
and "Vive le Republlque."
WHY HOHENLOHE RESIGNED.
WUHan Tendency to Ipmore Him
on Important Occasion.
BERLIN. Oct 2S. Prince Hohenlohe, In
conversation with a representative of -the
Associated Pross, made some Interesting
statements recording his resignation of
the Chancellorship. Although express
ing himself with great caution, he cited
as the principal reason for resigning the
fact that he had noticed for some time
a growing desire to Ignore him on import
ant occasions. He admitted that his in
creasing deafness, especially in the left
ear, had made it annoying for Emperor
William to converse with him. While
Prince Hohenlohe would not say precise
ly what very recent occasion had particu
larly emphasized this inclination to Ignore,
him, he asserted that this was the im
mediate cause of his going to Hamburg
with a written request to relinauish his
official burdens. This, he said, ho pre
sented in person to 'Emperor William,
who seemed astonished, but replied that,
in Mew of the advanced age of the Prince,
he would not urge him to reconsider. Jt
also appears that his parting- with tfie
Kaiser was affectionate, and"that both
remain on. good fenns. t
When Prince Hohenlohe returns to Ber
lin for the Winter he Intends to frequent
the court and Its festivities', his physicians
having urged him to 'this course, as they
consider that the total absence of excite
ment would endanger liis life. He islble
to jco to jus ancestral come at Dcnuung
fuerst Later he will go to Munich and
then to Meran, in the Austrian Tyrol, "or
tcT Italy, where he hopes to get relief

AEW TITLE FOR "VICTORIA .
Qneen..af . Australia, or .Empress of
the- British Empire.
' SYDNEY,' N. S. W., Oct. William
St. John Lyne', Premier and Treasurer
of NewSouth WaleS during a speech vat
the opening of aGerman fete here today
sad:
"The "temper of the Australian people
was never so "affectionate toward the
mother country as it is now. The 'war
in South Africa has produced a patriotic
bond which should last eternally. It has
been suggested locally that Her Majesty
should assume the. title of Queen of Aus
tralia. To me it -seems a good proposal.
Indeed, I think Her Majesty might well
be approached with a view to her assump
tion of the tjtle of Empress of the British
Empire, thus embracing all the colonies
and dependencies."
JAPAN'S" STRONG HAND.
She Wishes to Hold Balance of
Power in the Orient.
TOKOHAaiA, Oct. 3.-The accession of
Marquis Ito to power has been received
by the native press generally in a spirit
of congratulation, especially In view of
the rising feeling that Japan TjnstT how
needs her strongest man at tho helm In
order to enable her to assert her rights!
Influential papers are clamoring for -a
strong foreign policy. They favor'making
the most of Japan's, expanded armament
in holding the balance of power In the
Orient It is felt that the Chinese diffi
culty has demonstrated that the Western
powers are essentially weak because they
are not here and cannot got here In any
thing like -powerful force. Japan being
on the spot with her army of 500,000 and
her powerful navy, can easily dominate
the situation, especially if any one of the
strong Western powers will join hands
with her.

olution In favor of strengthening the fra

DISCUSS MATTER OF JOCKEYS
English vs. American Methods Con
sidered by London Press.
LONDON, Oct 20.-The question of
English vs American methods in the
racing world continues to agitate the
sporting writers for the London press.
The Daily Telegraph again protests
against the idea that the supporters of
lord Durham are animated by feelings
of jealousy, and points to Instances of
warm welcome extended to American
owners and jockeys.
"So far as the American trainers are
concerned," It says, '.'there was never an
unfriendly word used until one or two
of the latest comers, who were suspect
ed of 'doping' their horses. This Is a
punishable offense in the United States,
arid -ought to be here" also."
The Morning Post- suggests that Lester
Rolff has not been ridlng-of late"wlth his
usualconfidencc ,It eulogized Maher and
Jenkins, the latter of whom has been en
gaged by Prince Soltykoff.-
Tho Standard, which makes the stew
ards of the Jockey Club responsible for
the recent trouble, declare? that Lord
Durham's attack was directed primarily
against their "suplneness and torpidity."
It accuses them of Ignorance and mis
placed energy, and cites a case where
last week they summoned a gentleman
of, the highest character .whose integ
rity it would be absurd to" doubt, to ex
plain the running of his horses.
The Times, -after remarking that "it
would be difficult to overpraise the serv
ice Lord Durham has rendered to the
cause of turf reform," says:
"There is no doubt. If he possesses evi
dence of alleged misdeeds of American
jockeys, the stewards will be pleased to
give it careful- consideration, but the
tone of his letter of Wednesday last does
not andlcate that he possesses such evi
dence, as he rather modifies what he said
in his speech at the Jockey Club about
Newmarket being the dumping-ground
for American jockeys. Lord Durham
cites instances where1 Americans have
been reprimanded for unscrupulous rid
ing, but there is all the difference' in the
world between the wild riding 4 of a
jockey overanxious to win a race and
pulling to prevent winning, which was
implied in Lord Durham's speech."
The Morning Post announces that Lord
Rosebery's colors will reuppear on tho
turf at no distant date.

AN EX-CONFEDERATE FOR M'KINLEY,;.
He Gave His Son to His Country and Wants the Flag to

BROWNSVILLE, Or. Oct 28. (To ttieEditor.) In a recent issue of The
Oregon,ian I see it stated that Linn County is sure for Bryan. I can tell
you of one Democrat in Linn County that he will not get I, gave my baby
boy to Uncle- Sam to help place the flag on those Islands, and there I want itr
to stay. When he left home for Portland I told him 'never to let tho.'fiag
trail in, the dust or be dishonored, and if ho fell, let hts., face tbe Towardj
the enemy. I am for sound money; expansion with all that the term Implies;
liberal pensions; the Nicaragua Canal; a first-class' Navy; and an Army
for all possible" needs. And, as we bave become responsible for the .good,
behavior of Cuba to the world, I would not take the flag down that floats
over her, despltevthe. Foraker resolution. She lies in our front yard, and,
when that -resolution was proposed, we had more sentiment than -was good
for us. Besides McKInley has done 'more to conciliate the South and fill
up" the. bloody chasm,, than any President since the war. He thas done ex
ceptionally well for my, old commander, Joe Wheeler, for which I feel very
kindly towards him. And I hope every other old Confederate soldier In Or

witness stand yesterday, will appear at
the inquest nextTuesd&y night His rea
sons for not answering the subpena
was an order from the authorities to
testify regardjngtho visit of the prison
ers, to him on t night of the murder.
Dr. Townsend makes the following state
ment of th-Q ml'dnight calL and in con
nection with the" case:
"It has been 'stated that the four men
made ttwo calls at my- office and tluit the
girl was allvo when the carriage first
arrived. They eame Jbufc- on.ee, and it
was then too late to render aid to the
unfortunate girl. I am positive to the
exact time of their arrival, because when
tho bell rang at the head of the bed I
looked at the clock an the mantel and
saw It was " 2 o'clock. Through the
speaking tube X Inquired the cause of
the summons and was told that there
had been an .accident ,and was asked to
come at once. Through the tube I asked
particulars and was met with the wcrd
that the patient was in a carriage at the
door. It was cold, but I waited only
to put on a bath robe and "went down
stairs. When the door was opened two
men whom 'I knew 'as George Kerr and
Walter McAHster . shoved me inside and
quickly stepped Inside,. Then I(was told
that a ybung .woman- had; beiejyhurt and
both men" declared- that they would carry
her in. , , ,,
"But without parAoyj-rl, brushed, them
aide and.wentjout to the carriage. It was
a two-seated rig that I had often seen
at the Erie depot ' I did .not see. the
hackman. There were two men .standing
at thei curb near -the door of the car-r
riage. I knew Campbell by sight Ins'de
the carriage on a rear seat a young
woman was half seated half lying acrws
the back of the seat Her head lay s.de
wise across her breast: I lifted her head
and laid Jt back limp and lifeless. The
clothing was disarranged, the hair hang
ing about her neck and shoulders. Her
waist had been loosened, and only the
two top buttons of the waist were but
toned. There was no 'pulse. The heart
beat had been stilled.
"When I climbed into the rig to make
a closer examination, the four men gath
ered at the side of the ' carriage. Their
faces were white, and they looked a
question. The body was cold. 'Boys,' I
said, 'I can do nothing; she is dead.'
They seemed to draw, back and were all
together when I sitepped within the door
and left them in conference'at the curb.
It was 2:05 when I returned upstairs "
Dr. Townsend said the men had in
sisted that the woman should be taken
into his office even after he had pro
nounced her dead. Early the next day
he saw the account of the finding of the
body of Jennie Bosschieter near Wag
ram bridge.
During his examination of the young
woman in the carriage it had been too
dark to distinguish the features, and the
circumstances of the position -of the body
with the gash in the back of the head
and the fractured skull reported in the
autopsy added to the mystery. On Fri
day afternoon he decided' to seek the ad
vice of professional friends, who were
made acquainted with the full details
When It appeared that 'the- case3 were
identical, the attorneys were notified. Dr.
Townsend saw the. Chief of Police and
gave the information in his possession,
and tho arrests followed.'
HOW DID RICE .TJAKE MERCURY?
This I the Qneation That Perplexes
the Authorities.
. NEW YORK, Oct 28. Following the an
nouncement of Professor WJtthaus' dis
covery of enough mercury to. cause death
ip the. kidneys and intestines of William
Marsh Rice, the old millionaire, whose
sudden death more than a month ago lea
to so many sensational developments, and
tho chemist's further statement that mer
cury formed no part of the fluid used In
embalming the body, a consultation of the
authorities will be held tomorrow, Oh
which may decide the next step in un
raveling the mystery.
District Attorney. Gardner, Coroner
Hart, Professor Witthaus and perhaps Dr.
Walker Curry, who was Mr. Rice's physi
cian, will meet in the District Attorney's
office, and It is probable the chemist will
have a supplementary, report to make.
Although the amount of mercury he
found In the body was sufficient to kill a
man, if administered In a soluble form,
Professor Witthaus did not say so in his
first report He was then asked to make
this plain in an additional step and, to
tell if he could form any idea whether
this poison might have been a principal
ingredient of any medicine the old man
was taking, or if it might have ,been ad
ministered with some ulterior motive. f
The old man had a penchant for patent
medicines, and that h.e frequentls -took
them Is admitted by his physician ana
others who knew him. Dr. Chirry says
that in none of the medicines prescribed
for the old man by him was there any
mercury, but he adds that he found Mr.
Rice was taking a medicine that was
given to him by a friend, and that it was
not without some argument that he in
duced his patient to- stop taking, it An
endeavor-to learn what druggist prepared
the medicine prescribed by Dr. Curry for
Mr. Rice was futile today.
Many physicians spoken to agreed that
one of the easiest ways to brlnff about a
man's death would be by the administra
tion of mercury In mlnuto .doses. They
also -said the symptoms of illness noted In
Mr. Rice Just previous to his death would
be caused by this poison given in this
manner. It would produce dysentery, anu
the autopsy in 11 probability .would- show
traces of polsoOgiix the stomach and more
in tho intestines.' For a week before, Mt
Rice's death he-was ill ami "he., was i led. to
believe this resulted from his partajtlng ot
several baked; bananas. He waa weVk,
but h did J&pt seem to fear he was In'an j
immediate; fiaier of, death, '

NO CAUSE "FOR SUICIDE.
Mystery o,tbe Death of Emma Segrh
-nteyer Deepens.
PITTSBURG. Pa., Oct 28.-The mystery
connected with the finding of the body
of Miss Emma Beghmeyer floating in the
Ohio River opposite Glenfield yesterday
deepens as investigation proceeds. Miss
Seghmeyer, who was 28 years old and
of good family, left the rhome .of her
mother at Glenfield on 'October 19 to
visit an aunt at Sewickley. The mother,
supposing her daughter waB with the
aunt, suspected nothing wrong until, the
bd?2y was found. She says there waa no
all the interests 'of this great people
aea6e
known cause why the daughter should
commit suicide. f3he was a member of a
church, engaged to be married and ap
parently very happy. Foul play is Indi
cated by the fact that tho body of the
young woman was found in the water on
the opposite side of the river from' her
home. In addition to this the face and
hands of the victim were'badly battered.
The Coroner's inquest is making a search
ing Investigation.

REIITDEER IN AtASKA.
Enterprise Figrercs in Report of Bar
' reoiu of Education.,- . '
'I WASHINGTON, -Oct. 25. This-year as
in the past, the Rev. Sheldpn Jackson
secures his share of recognition in the
annual report of the Bureau of Education,
particularly in the matter of reindeer in
troduction in Alaska. In the report just
made, the following remarks are made on
the subject of relndeeri ,
"Since the beginning of the introduction
of domestic reindeer into Alaska It has
been steadily kept In mind, that the rein
deer would be of great service in the
rapid transportation of jnall in Winter
over the frozen surface orarotic and sub
arctic Alaska' between the widely sepa
rated mlBsion stations and isolated min
ing camps of that region. During the
Summer of 1899 the gold mines -in the
neighborhood of Cape Nome (a llttlo more
than 100 miles south of Behring Straps)
proved tfo rich that a large population
wis attracted to that region. In order to
furnish the miners 'with a mail'-servicj
during the Winter, the POstofflce Depart
ment entered into a contract with Mr.'
William A. Kjellmann, the superintendent
of the reindeer station, for the carrying
qifcjip semi-monthly during the Winter
(189MS00;) between Nome and Eaton Sta
tion, 00 miles northeast of St 'Miohaei,
ahd,a bi-monthly mail f rom St -Mlchiial
to Goiovln and Kotaebue. Both'roAifes.
have been in successful operation,'" the
reindeer having " sometimes Ihada the
round trip of 480 miles on the Nome route
in 12 'days, Including stops. For the Win
ter of 1900-1901, tho Postofllce Department
has made a contract with Dr. F, H. Gam
bell, Mr. Kjeilmann's successor, forrth
carrying of mall from Eaton to Kotzebuc
Sound, a distance of 400 miles each way.
"The Influx of population Into the Goio
vln Bay mining region, requiring the pres
ence of United States troops in order to
preserve the peace, Captain E. S. Walkor,
in command of the detachment at Fort
St. Michael,' ln January, 1S99, applied to
tho superintendent of Eaton reindeer sta
tion for transportation. In compliance
with his request, Lapps, reindeer ana
sleds were sent from Eaton to St. Michael
and transported troops, with their tents
rations and camp equipage, from St
Michael tb Goiovln Bay. When there was
no longer .any need for their presence at
Goiovln Bay, the Lapps and relhdeer re
turned the, soldiers to St. Michael without
accident of difficulty.
"In ' order to further demonstrate the
possibilities of reindeer transportation,
and as an act,o"f humanity and relief to
tho crowd of miners "that" had flocked Into
tho Cape Nome" region and were short of
provisions, the. reindeer station trans
ported a limited aipount of fodcl from St
Michael to Nome.. " . ,
"The gradual furnishing of a perma
nent food supply for the Alaskan natives
has not. been lost sight of in, the oher
phases of the development ofthe rein
deer enterprise. Pursuing the policy of
distribution which was adopted, at the outset,-
1159 reindeer are now the, personal
property of 19 Eskimos, who lityve learned
the management of reindeer by "five years
apprenticeship at" the Government rein
deer stations.," ' .
FREHCHAUTH0RITIJ2SER0TEST
Reductlonof .Duty on Hq.ners' De
manded by Them."
WASB;iNGTON, Oct. 28. The negotia
tions concerning the construction to be
placed" upon certain features of the reci
procity agreement with France have now
advanced to a point where the Frenoh
authorities have deemed It necessary to
protest against what they regard as the
arbitrary course of the Treasury Depart
ment in reopening an . issue which pre
viously had -been adjudicated by the
American courts. The reciprocity agree
ment was entered into and proclaimed by
the Presi&ent about a year ago and grant
ed certain reduction in 'duties on still
wines, brandies and other articles In re
turn for equivalent reduction of duties
on certain American Imports Into France.
The French version of the treaty, which
was executed along with the English text,
contained the word ''Hquersi" covering a
number of cordials and like products
brought to this country. The Treasury
Department held, however, that under tho
reciprocity clause of the Dingley tariff
law, "liauers" could not be made the
subject of reciprocity concessions. The
mattenwas taken Into the courts, where
it was decided in- favor of tho French
authorities. The decision was. not ap
pealed; and on tho recommendation of
the Attorney-General was accepted.
Recently; however, the Swiss Govern
ment put in a "claim under ite favored
clause for the same'reductfon on "Hquers"
as was given to France- This has led
the Treasury Department again to make
an effort to opposer"a reduction of duty
on such articles. "'From the French stand
point the matter is not only one of treaty
but the construction "of that treaty has
been adjudicated by the American courts
and the adjudication accepted. This
French view of the. situation has now
been brought to the attention of hp'State
Department, with a view of having the"
matteV settled as it has been decided by
the courts. .

BRYAIMff WEST VIRGINIA,
He la Active 'There, Because Bikini
Doesn't Want Him.
-WASHINGTON, Oct. Hi. Bryan's two
trips through- West VIrgina have an in
teresting story 'behind them. Some time
during the, last Winter Bryan came to
Washington and besides appearing on the
floor of the House of Representatives and
meeting his Democratic friends there, no
came- over to rthe Senate and held a, re
ception in -the Marble Room, where Sena
tors receive distinguished visitors. Most
all tho .Democratic Senatorsilrst and last,
came out and had a chat with Bryan on
the subject of his coming candidacy for
the Presidency, and such other""matters
as would 'naturally be discussed among
party men. ' Of course, many others be-aldesr-fhe
JJemocratic Senators saw Bryan
at that time. While he was there Senator
Elkins, of West Virginia, came bustling
into 'the Marble Room. He shook hands
heartily" with the continuous candidate,
and said in his gpod,natured way;
"Now, I know you are going to be the
eandidate, for they can't stop you from
being nominated. But'l want' to say this
to .you niwr I don't want -you to coma
into my state during the campaign. Xou
just, keep out of that state. That is oil 1
aak of you."
" Bryah responded hv a jocular manner,
and said that he would see to it, but ho
thought it was -entirely- likely that he
ftould visit West Virginia during the
campaign.'
"Well, I don't want you there," respond
ed Senator Elkins. "I tell you that right
now; I don't want you in tho state at all.
I have no use for you there. Ot course,
under our Constitution, you can go and
come where you please, and the right ot
free speech Is not denied, but I do not
want you to come Into West Virginia dur
ing the coming campaign." And the ge
nial West Virginia Senator passed on.
nn& spoke to the man who had sent for
him.
Jt . Is evident , that these remarks of
Elkins made a very deep Impression upon
tho Nebraska orator and candidate. No
doubt, Elkins talked half In fun and half
in earnest, but. the method pursued by
Bryan since that time evidently Indicates
that he took the admonition of the Sena
tor from West Virginia in all earnest
ness. He has not only been ,to West Vir
ginia twice, but he has put himself out
greatly to tour the state. He passed back
and forth through it the first time and
the second time he went through a series
of disagreeable experiences in order to
spend a day and make speeches at va
rious points that he had not covered in
his first tour. It is possible that Bryan
believes that his speeches will carry
West Virginia for him. It Is more than
probable that he thinks that Senator El
jyns was seriously afraid that his appear
ance would carry tho state Democratic
and elect a Democratic Legislature, which
is tb choose Senator " Elkins 'successor.
At all events, no other state in the Union
with .but six electoral votes has been
given the time and attention that Bryan
has bestowed upon West Virginia,
The ''Democrats do not expect to carry
West Virginia, as they have already be
gun the charge of .bribery, robbery, negro
colonization, coercion and general corrup
tion This has always been the favorite
claim of the Democrats whenever they
see the election going against them, ana
thus they have been charging that with
great vigor" in West "Virginia in the last.
few weeks. The colonization cry was
raised regarding West .Virginia at least
a jnonth ago. It was then asserted thai
the mines, railroads and various other
enterprises had imported many nerro la
borers' from Virginia, "and the District of
of voting the Republican ticket Now, It.
is a factthafc many enterprises have been
developed in -West Virginia In tho past
few years, especially this year, which
have 'attracted large numbers of laborers
to that state. Mines are being opened,
forests are being "felled, lumber is being
manufactured, coal being taken out of the
mines, coke is burned, oil wells are being
developed and railroads are being built
to new coal fields, and new iron mines
that have been recently discovered. This
has naturally taken a largo number of
worklngmen. from various" parts of the
country "adjacent to West Virginia, and
It; is easy to call this colonization. Of
course. It Is not similar to" the coloniza
tion practiced by the Tammanyites In
New York, where men have been hired
to occupy boarding-houses until after
election, for the men who have been em
ployed In West Virginia are those who
have gone there for tho purpose of earn
ing a livelihood and making the state
their home as long as it affords them an
opportunity fo earn a living.
The doubt-regarding West Virginia is
only over the Legislature and two "mem
bers of Congress. The state is almost
sure to cast its vote for McKInlev, and
the belief is now general that the Legisla
ture will be Republican." Of course, this
depends largely upon whether there is
any great amount of trading to be done.
It is already known that the Democrats,
anxious to secure control of the Legisla
ture and to have the next Senator and to
maintain the gerrymander now in force,
will trade not only the electoral tickets,
but tho state and Congressional tickets as
well. This is the contest -which Elkins
has to go against in his own state, and it
has taken all ot the adroit political work
he is capable of to maintain a condition
which will secure a Republican Legisla
ture, and the chances are that ho win be
successful.
DELAWARE'S THREE VOTES.
Factional Fight Over Senator C6xn
plicatea the Situation.
WASHINGTON, Oct 25. The fact that
there is only three electoral "votes in Dela
ware makes that state rather unimportant
in a Presidential campaign; Of course
tho Republicans are very anxious to get
them, and so are the Democrats, be
cause a condition of affairs might arise
where the three Delaware votes would de
cide the contest It is not likely that
any such condition will arise In this cam
paign, as' it seems that, notwithstand
ing the big claims of the Democrats, Mc
KInley will got more electoral votes than
ho did before. In order to do so he will
have to. carry all doubtful states east of
the- Mississippi -River, save. Kentucky,
and Increase his vote 20 or more west of
the Mississippi. At the same time a fight
is to be made for Delaware, and both
the Adlcks and tho Dupont-Higgins fac
tion have got together on a state ticket
and electoral ticket and for that reason
it seems possible to win.
The factional fight continues Jn Dear
ware over the Senatorshlp, this being the
main bone of contention and the. .great
feature of 'difference between the Republi
cans of that state. 'The probabilities now
are that even if the Republicans carry
the electoral vote and the state "ticket,
the Democrats may be successful in
the Legislature, because in many Legis
lative "districts there are two Republi
can tickets which will split the vote, al
lowing the Democrats to win on a plu
rality. With two seats In the United
States Senate at stake. It seems to be a
very foolish proceeding on 'the part of
the Delaware Republicans to allow their
factional differences to probably give tha
United States Senate two Democratic
Senators, but the fight between the fac
tions Is very intense.
The Addlcks faction is beyond question
the strongest and has the largest fol
lowing, but the Dupont-Higgins faction Is
uncompromising in Its determination that
Addlcks shall never go to the United
States Senate. It Is plalmed that he cor
rupted the vote of Delaware often in hia
determination to reach a seat In the Sen

There is no doubt that Addlcks wouT&
be perfectly willing to have a compro
mise reached on a basis which would 'giver
him one of the Senatorial seats, and tho
Dupont-Higgins faction the other. But
the Dupont people will not agree to this.
The Addlcks faction thinks that it can
elect its Legislative tiokets !n the ma
jority of the districts, and thus control
the Legislature In spite of the opposition!
of tho Dupont-Higgins, or so called "reg
ular" Republicans. 'The Dupont-HTggina
faction have not much hope of anything
except to see a split Legislature or a
Democratic Legislature. The-Dupont-Higgins
people fear that in case'there should
be a triangular Legislature the Dem-i
ocrats in the minority would be able- tof
control the Legislature by a conjunction
with either ot the Republican factions,
and that Addlcks would make the trade
and secure his own election with Demo
cratic votes. On the other hand the Ad
dlcks men declare that the only way in
which the Democrats can possibly win ona
of the two seats in the Senate Is by a
combination with the "regular" faction,
or because the "regular" faction will split
the vote and make the election of a ma
jority of Democratic members certain.
Por a small state, Delaware has caused
a great deal of turmoil In National af
fairs, but it has been principally since
Addlcks decided to make the state hla
grodnd of operations that so much trouble
has occurred. Previous to that time tho
state was Democratic, however, and no
matter what condemnation there Is fo
Addlcks and his methods, he was instru
mental in effecting an organization which
made tho state Republican in the first in

In this Presidential1 campaign tho atti
tude of George Gray, ex-Senator and now
United States Circuit Judge, la rather in
teresting. Taking advantage of the fact
that Judge Gray was not taking any part
iri politics, the Democrats have asserted
that he will support Bryan. This may
win a few Gold Democratic votes in Dela
ware and possibly will have some effect In
other parts of the United States, where
Gray Is so well and favorably known.
Judge Gray cannot very well venture a
denial of this statement, because he is
practically out of politics. It would, seem,
however, from his position four years ago,
when he voted for Palmer and Buckner,
when he Is opposed to everything llko
Bryan and Bryanism. and when he was a
member of the Peace Commission and
earnest worker for -the ratification of tho
peace treaty, and, when let out of office
because Delaware waa no longer Demo
cratic, received an appointment as Cir
cuit Judge from President McKInley, a
life position, the chances are that ha
would vote for McKInley as against
Bryan. He cannot very well declare him
self in favor of McKInley becauo peoplo
would say ho is supporting McKInley In
return for past favors. At the same time,
it is hardly probable that Judge Gray-is a.
convert to Bryanism.
