AN UNCERTAIN C: Managers of Both Political Parties Puzzled as to Possible Results. SPECULATIONS AS TO THE FECT OF THE TARIFF BILL—GERRYMANDERING AND TRADING OFF UP= SETTING CONGRESSIONAL CALCULATIONS—MANY DOUBTFUL DISTRICTS. A peculiar feature of this campaign, looked atfrom the standpoint of the congressional headquarters here, is that neither party is par- ticularly confident of victory. There are so many elements of uncertainty in the canvass that the managers of both Partzes are puzzled. At the opening of tho campaign very few republicans thought that there was any chance of their carrying the next House, but they have gained courage as the campaign bag advanced. How the people are going to receive the tariff iaw of the last session is a question no one can answer, Every partisan kuows how he thinks they ought to receive it, but that gives no assurance, It is very boldly alleged that in the northwest the increased prices resulting from the passage of the bill operate to injure the republicans, and the fact that many republican papers in. that section are conducting a campaign rather on the de- fensive is a cause of apprehension for that party, The congressional committee is putting forth tremendous efforts to overcome this trouble, whether real or supposed, and they have no moans of measuring the result of their efforts up to this time, They may be fighting ata wind mill, or it may be a protty consider- abie-sized cyclone they have to contend with, They have on their cyclone suits, BOTH PARTIES HAVE THEIR TROUBLES, The democrats, believing in their own tariff theories, are looking for a popular uprising in protest against the McKinley bill, but they are not quite certain that the uprising is going to materialize. In addition to this doubt they are perplexed with many uncertainties as to what is coming out of the Farmers’ Alliance business in the south. They have no assurance that the alliance will support the regular dem- ocratic nominees, who beat them in con- vention, But the republicans have a few things to annoy them which the democrats are free from. In the first place, at the last election, which was presidential as well as congressioual, they put forth all their efforts to get the House | and succeeded by a narrow margin. ‘They then did the best they could and they have no especial reason for thinking they can do better | now. But since they won that slender victory there has been some redistricting which puts them ata disadvantage. They Lave more work to do to accomplish the same result they brought about in the last campaign. Again, they are now aunoyed in nearly every district by some quarrel over the post office appointments, aud in districts where the vote is close disaffection on this account may influence the result. Se eral districts may be lost to them in this way. SPECULATIONS AS TO SEVERAL STATES. The general understanding is that the stato republican committee of Pennsylvania and Mr, Quay are doing nothing atall to help on the congressional canvass in that state, and it is openly stated by republicans that he is ready to sacrifice everything to secure the election of Delamater as governor. The trading off of congressional districts for this purpose is strongly hinted at, In New York about as bad a state of affairs is said to exist. The republican state com- mittoe are paying no attention to Congress, but are devoting themselves to the local elections, and the national congressional committee ure at sea in all their calculations. They have no sort of idea what to expect from either New York or Pennsylvania, In Indiana the republicans expect to gain two members, and they expect to hold their own in Connecticut, New Jersey and Massa- chusetis, In Illinois they are afraid of losing one member and also one in Wisconsin. It is ovident that they have very little hope of elect- ing Mr. McKinley in Ohio, but they think the democrats will not get more than thirteen of the members from that state. In fact, the democrats are in danger of not gettting more than eleven out of the fifteen districts made democratic by the last gerrymander. Cosgrove may be beaten in Cincinnati. Ex-Gov. Foster is almost certain to beat his democratic oppo- nent. Lewis, the labor-republican candidate, is very popular in the Hocking district, and Bingham, the republican-tarmers’ alliance can- didate, stauds a chance of election im the Boothman district. AS TO SCHOOL PROPERTY. Attorney Thomas nstrues the Law as to Exemption From Taxation. An interesting question has just been settled by the attorney for the District relative to the taxation of school property. Tho law is that all property used for gchool purposes shall be exempt from taxation. The caso of Mrs, Susar J. Beveridge, who requested the caacellation of the general taxes against certain property of hers in this city for the years 1870, 1873 and 1874 on the ground thatthe property during those years was used for school purposes, and was thero- fore exempt from taxcs, was the case the at- torney passed upon, He says it does not ap- pear thut the owner of this property during the year’s exemption claimed used it for school purposes nor that any less rent was de- Granted bevatee she property was rented for school purposes; but that it is claimed broad:y that because it was used for school pur- poses it is exempt from taxes during the time so used. So far as the law relates to schools, says Mr, Thomas, it was intended to relieve those persons or corporations engaged in edu- cation and owning property devoted directly and exclusively to school purposes from the burden of taxation, and the excmp- tion was not designed to protect persons who own property and rent it for school purposes. The owner, he says, must use his property directly and immediately and exclusively for school purposes before it is en- titled to exemption under the tax law in force during the time cxemption is claimed in this cuse. Mr. Thomas, therefore, decides that the request should be refused. penetra Tho Tariff Bill Omission. In rofercuce to the public statement that the omission of amendment 449 from the tariff bill was the fault of the conference committee and not the fault of the enroiling clerk, and that conseqnently the bill was enrolled as it passed both houses, Maj. J. M. Carson, the clerk of the ways and meuns committee, said today that the statement wus not correct. The error, he says, was made by the en- rolling clerks, Maj. Carson does not place any stock in the agitation made by im- porters about the emission. For the last fifty Years onussions have occurred in the tariff bills passed during that time and they have all been corrected by Congress, Maj.

The big | cut along Ocean avenue was cut into again by tho breakers and still further damages sus- tained. Scarcely a crab pot or a fisherman’ net was left uninjured between Long branch and Seabright, In several instances where the owners of the crab pots and fishing pounds set out to take in their traps their boats wero ¢ sized and the inmates had a narrow osesp from drowning. Noteworthy is the case of John Morrison, whose boat was awamped in his attemps tosave his nets, But for his timely rescue byafellow tisherman he would have gone to the bottom. When the rescuing party | had nearly reached the shore they met with the same fate as Mr. Morrixon, Their boat was | swamped and they had to fight bard to reach | Shore in safety. Im each instance the boats | were lost. At Asbury Park the patrol of the life saving station No. 6 had a difficult time on their beats. The wind biew the rain with such force as to | make progress almost impossible, and added to | the rain was the heavy from the breake: which increased the contusion. At Keyport the storm raged with much se- verity. Many smal! oyster sioops were d ashore and ‘the unusy means of doing consi The high ude caused much delay in travel along the line of the New York and Long | Branch railroad, At Bay Way the tracks for half a mile were submerged to a depth of two feet.

New Yonk, Oct. 24.—Tho storm which came down upon New York city yesterday morning ; at about half-past 10 proved to be one of un- usual severity, From that hour until the same hour today the wind blew half a gale (which means thirty miles an hour) and with it was a heavy rainfall, As the wind was on| shore it drove the waters of the bay up into the North and East rivers and an extra- ordinarily high tide was the result. At 4 o'clock thismorning. when the tide was highest, the water at the Datte Ty was on e level with the top of the sea wall, three feet higher than it had been in years, The water began running into the cellars along West street as far up town as Chambers street at about 3:30 o'clock, and it was over the bulkheads along the river front by 4 o'clock. FLOODING A HOTEL DINING ROOM. A little later West strect. in the neighbor- hood of Vesey street, was covered with water, and, as usual, Everett Hotel, at the foot of Vesey street, was flooded. There was a foot and a half of water on the dining room floor, and waiters were busy all the morning clean- ing it out. The West End Hotel cellar at No. 101 West street was full of water, aud at 10 o'clock this morning dozens of men could be seen at work with hand pumps getting the wa- ter out of the celiars of the buildings along the river-front streets, and sometimes 5v or 100 fect back in the side streets, A PERFECT SEA OF MUD. At 10 o'clock West street was in a shocking condition, Below Dey street its torn up and but little pavement is left, The strectis a per- fect sea of mud, with half floating timbers, while paving blocks and castings are scattered about in every direction, The black and slimy mud ruins everything it touches and few peo- ple care to cross the street unless it is abso- lutely necessary, The shopkecpers are discon- solate and are looking ahead to this after- noon’s tide. which will be highest at about 4 | o'clock, with fear of the consequences, On the East river it is the same story. Flooded cel- lars anda muddy street with the water over the bulkheads at high tide. Pumps ure busy there and the damage has been principally to the occupants of the buildings, ‘The Hackensack river was hizher this morn- ing than it has been for a long time, the water covering the floors of the muuufacturing es- tablishmeuts at Little Ferry, ‘Ibe meadows were submerged 2nd some of the railroad tracks were under water. Trains on the New York, Susquehanna aud Western road ran through water most of the way from Littie Ferry to West Eud. A FIERCE NORTNEASTER, The fierce northeasterly gale drove the heavy rains in almost horizontal sheets, ren- dering umbrellas of little use, and the wind throughout the night rattled signs and shut- ters till uabroken sleep became well nigh im- Possible. The storm was part of the cyclonic listurbance which has hung over the gulf states during the last two days, gathering strength as it moved northward, ALONG TNE coast. This morning stories of damago along the coast began to come in, but it is feared that | the worst will not be known until tomortow. Along Now Jersey's coast wires are reported down and several vessels asiore, while others have becn driven from their course. Very high tides resulted from the storm. The | MICHAEL BREZ!

Loxpox, Oct. 24—A number of speakers have been seut from Ireland to England and Scotiand, under the auspices of the Irish Presbyterians, to advocate the maintainance of union «nd oppose home rule. The Ulster orangemen fuily appreciate the gradual change of public sentiment in England and Scotland in iavor of Irish home rule that has been going on for some time past and are keenly alive to the importance of checking it ere it be too late. The Eccles election bas had a very depressing cffect upon the unionist element, both in Engiand and Ireland, who are not so bjind as to be unable to see the “handwriting on the wail,” and a vigorous anti-home rule campaign is to be maugurated in the Enghsh and Scvttish coustituencics, Towns Flooded by Rains, City or Mexico, Oct. 24—Terrible rain storms have prevailed in Colima ever since Oc- tober 19.
