Democrats Will Win, Says Mr. Ryan of the Richmond State. They Have Been Scared, Though, He Says—The Populist Strength and Effect of the Prohibition Vote. “The democrats of Virginia will pull through next Tuesday, but they have been worse seared in this campaign than in any since the overthrow of Mahoneism in 1883,” said Mr. William Ryan, president of the State Newspaper Company of Richmond and collector of the internal revenue, when stopped by a Star reporter today. “Yes, the democrats have been scared, and no mis- take.” In tesponse to interrogatives, Mr. Ryan said that the populists were very strorig in Virginia. The new party included among its leaders some men, who had been promi- nent in democratic councils in former cam- paigns. It had on its side considerable dash and a deal of enthusiasm. It had also ample campaign funds. And the lack of campaign money has been seriously felt by the democrats. The. Virginia. democrats, continued Mr. Ryam were apathetic until about a week or ten days ago. Now they are aroused and O’Ferrall, it is believed will win by a majority of ten or fifteen thousand. Thi: would be far below Gov. McKinney’s m: jority, which was over forty thousand, but when McKinney defeated Mahone for gov- ernor, the democratic majority was phe- nominal on account of the dejection in the republican ranks. Speaking of the legislature, Mr. Ryan said the democrats would have a majority, but it would not be large. They wouid prob- ably have 6 out of the 10 members of the house of delegates. He says Gen. Fitz Lee seems to have the inside track for United States Senator, though his chief opponent, Mr. Thomas Martin, is very strong, and will be a hard man to beat. Martin is one of the boldest and most astute political managers in Virginia. He rarely ever ap- pears on the hustings, preferring to “get in his work on the quiet.” Lee's strength, on the other hand, is with the People. He makes a speech every day, and has done much in the campaign to stir the demo- crats to action. Mr. Ryan thinks, how- ever, that Senator Hunton will possibly be elected to fill out the iate Senator Barbour's unexpired term. Mr. Ryan says that the prohibitionists have been worrying the democrats more than usual this year. This is particularly the case ‘in. Augusta county. He says the hegroes are indifferent. They do not ap- pear to take any interest in the populist movement, and they are not ready to go over in a body to the democratic party, al- though a few of them are loyal democrats. Mr. Ryan says that next to the state elec- tion, the greatest political interest is over the federal judgeship—the late Judge Bond's place, Richmond's candidate, Mr. C. V. Meredith, will be pushed by the local bar, but he seems to regard as particularly strong Virginia candidates Mr.Alexander Hamilton of Petérsburg and Congressman Tucker. It will be impossible, he says, for the Vir- ginia delegation to agree on any one man, and it will be a lively scramble. a THOSE SENATE CLERKS. They €ause Considerable Tr the Urgent Deficiency Bil There were no signs of weakening in the tones and attitude of Senator Cockrell today when he moved for a further conference on the bane of contention between the two Houses in the urgent deficiency bill. This is tnhe provision for the pay of certain clerks who were employed by the Senate in 188, and who could not be reimbursed be- cause the contingent fund of the Senate had been exhausted. There had been three cont ‘$ up to this morning, and for the fourth time the Senate insisted upon its amendment just as soon as the prayer had been delivered today. “We have insisted and intend to keep on insisting until it is agreed to,” said Mr. Cockrell, and he pointed his forefinger savagely at the bill as it lay on the clerk’s desk. In the House last night there w an in- teresting colloquy between Mr. Livingston, Mr. Sayers, Mr. Cannon, the conferees on the part of = Myuse, in regard to this matter. It dessloped tken that the Sena- tors had admitted in the conferences that this was largely a question of personal honor and that they wanted the House to recede on that ground. Mr. Livingston had suggested that the Senate resolve to pay this sum—$22,000-out of the contingent fund and increase its fund that much, but they had refused this compromise. A Lingering Hope. When the joint resolution of the House continuing session employes through the recess came to the Senate this afternoon Mr. Cockrell put to it an amendment cov- ering the disputed item in the deficiency bill, but in changed phraseology, and the Senate adopted it. The resolution was sent back to the House, and it is hoped by the Senate that. the House will agree to it. If this is done the brake now holding the urgency deficiency bill will be released und that will be pushed through before Con- gress adjourns. SES Are Ste The Late Chaplain’ Haddaway. The House passed a resolution to pay out of the contingent fund of the House to the widow of the late chaplain of the House, Rev. Mr. Haddaway, a sum equal to one year’s salary, and to pay his funeral ex- penses, not to exceed $500, This resolution does not require action by the Senate. ble to every for the proper language for your walter at oF 1,000, the restaurant. $4 case, 12 qts. 40c. — ea —— =: a p ‘ If you read it in our ad. it's so.

SOMETHING OF A SENSATION. LONDON, Nov. 3—The Globe today prints a story of an alleged attempt to blow up the Westminster bridge. In view of the fact that the Globe ts a conserva- tive organ and that strenuous efforts are being made to secure the release of the Irish political prisoners, there are not lack- ing persons who claim that the Globe's story should be taken with reserve. , According to the Globe's story a water- man employed to attend the workmen who are employed on a temporary scaffold be- neath the bridge found last a large parcel wrapped in brown pa- per on a ledge of the center buttress. The waterman thinking that perhaps he had found something valuable took the parcel into his boat and made an examina- tion of it. He was horrified to find that it contained a conical iron bomb weighing about seven pounds. In the side of the bomb was a hole, through which the water- man saw that the bomb contained a sub- stance with which he was not familiar. The waterman had a bucket in his boat. 'This| po = with water and immersed the bomb in_ it. The bomb was taken to Scotland Yard. The officials there were thrown into a state of consternation when they heard the water- man’s story and immediately jumped to the conclusion that there was to be a repetition of the dynamite outrages that terrorized London some years ago. The bomb, still in the water bucket, was placed outdoors, and several detectives were detailed to guard it. The inspector of ex- plosives was at once notified ‘of the find. He arrived at Scotland Yard in hot haste and took charge of the bomb to examine its contents. Since then nothing has been heard of the case. Those who are in favor of releasing the Irish political prisoners sneered at the Globe's story. They say that even if the waterman did find a bomb beneath the bridge it was probably put there by -per- sons interested in frustrating the attempts to secure amnesty for the prisoners. The story of the discovery caused some- what of a sensation when {t became gen- erally known. During the dinner hour of the workingmen and others in the vicinity of Westminster bridge today large crowds gathered and gazed at the buttress where the bomb was found and commented upon the probable effect of an explosion there. Quite a number. of persons loitered about Scotland Yard and vainly quizzed the police on duty. Col. Magendie, her maiestv’s inspector of explosives, is now examining the bomb, which ts nine inches long and four inches in diameter, ——_—_—. TO KILL THE PRESIDENT. The Mania of a Crazy Man in Custody at Indianapolis. INDIANAPOLIS, Nov 3.—Several cranks suddenly became seized yesterday with a desire to right their fancied wrongs. Adolph Olschwasky of 1140 East Washing- ton street was captured as he was about to start for Washington to murder Presi- dent Cleveland. Oischwasky has heretofore been harmlessly “cranky,” but his mania assumed a homicidal turn when he sud- denly met his brother and made a rush to kill him for the purpose of marrying his widow, who he believed would bring him Wonderful luck. He claims to be a cousin of President Cleveland and that his real name is Cleveland. After his encounter with his brother and before he could get out of town on a train officers arrested him. He had provided himself with a large caliber revolver. Gov. Matthews came near being made the victim of a series of cranks. For several days suspicious characters have been dog- ging his office in the state house. Yester- day they were seen scurrying from the building on a report that the militia was coming. The governor says he has no fear ot belly, ree be friends have pre- : n him to take great until the crank epidemic subsides on NEW YORK, Novy. 3.—Another murdero} “crank” turned up at the Tombs pated court this morning. He says his name is H.-Muhle. At the corner of Battery place and Greenwich street last night Muhl chal- lenged every one he met to tight him. After @ struggle the fellow was arrested. “In his pocket was found the following note: “Dear Sir: I hereby challenge yot ‘to fight and to the death with broadswords and Pistols. P. S.—No refusal will be ac- cepted.” . The body of the missive was written in German and the postcript in Latin. Muhle _ committed for examination as to his sanity. ——__ FORTIFYING MELILLA. Spain Says That the Work Will Soon Be Accomplished. LONDON, Nov. 3.—A dispatch to the Standard from Madrid says: Warlike preparations continue on a scale which contrasts strongly with the assur- ance of the foreign minister, Senor Moret, to several of the foreign embassies that Spain intends to respect the territorial and political status quo in Morocco, and that the government believes that reparation will be made and indemnity given about the middle of November by the Sultan of Mo- rocco for the attacks made upon the Span- ish troops at Melilla. Eight thousand men, the dispatch: adds, are kept in readiness to start for Melilla within twerty-four hours after notice that they are wanted is given, while before Sun- day 11,000 troops will be concentrated in Andalasia from the parts of which province they could be rapidly carried to Morocco. Wazships and merchant vessels are con- stantly available. In the meantime muni- tions of war are being forwarded to Melilla in extraordinary quantities. The Spanish embassy in this city has re- ceived the foliowing dispatch from the gov- ernment at Madrid: “The destruction of Riff villages by the guns of the Spanish warships and the forts at Melilla, in addition to the severe pun- ishment Gen. Macias inflicted. upon the tribesmen on October 31, has caused, the Riffs to disappear from the vicinity of the forts. ‘The firing has therefore stopped all along the line. The Spanish garrison now consists of 8,000 men. Everything leads to the hope that the plan of erecting forts can now be carried out.” —— EIGHT MISSING. ONLY ives Lost in the City of Disaster Reduced, HAVANA, Nov. 3.—The representative of the United Press today interviewed Capt. Hoffman of the New York and Cuba Mail Steamship Company's steamer City of Alexandria, which was burned off Cojimer, twenty-five miles from Havana, on Wed- nesday night. ‘apt. Hoffman was chary of giving de- tails of the disaster. He said that the fire on board the steamer originated from an explosion, the cause of which was un- known. He added that there was only one pas- senger on board, a German named Leibin- ger, who, in the reports received yesterday, was said to have been drowned. It was said this morning, however, that he and the stewardess, Catherine Carter, who was also said to have been drowned,were both saved. NEW YORK, Nov. 3.—James F. Ward & Co., the agents of the New York and Cuba Steamship Company, make the following statement this morning concerning the burning at sea of the steamer City of A dri: We cabled last evening for the names of those missing and h: this morning re- ceived the following dispatch: “*Purser’s body found. Stewardess safe. Cannot get names of those missing. “According to a careful comparison of the names received with the crew list of the|the provisions of the compulsory system. all the officers, with the exception of purser, are accounted for. There are fifteen names among the crew missing, but ted by the cable that they cannot be un- derstood. e‘ght unaccounted for. “We have no further news of the disas- ter to give. The captain and crew will probably leave steamer Seneca.” This would leave a balance of | the unfortunate measure was sent back to the desks of the two houses, there to re- main until the regular session shall have begun in December. Some Other Items. The biggest item in the bill is the appro- Priation of $200,000 to enable the clerk of the Houst to pay to members the amounts which they certify they have paid or have agreed to pay for clerk hire necessarily employed by them in the discharge of their duties. Until the appropriation is made a good many of the congressional clerks who are employed under the resolution of March 3, 1893, will have to wait for their salaries. This does not kill the bill finally, for it will remain unfinished business in the two houses when they meet a month later, but the whole difficulty will still be present to prevent harmony. A District Item. The bill contains among other items an appropriation of $10,500, one-half to be paid by the District for reconstructing the barn of the reform school of the District of Columbia, which was destroyed by fire on the 2d of last July, and for replacing the horses, farming implements, wagons, harness, hay, &c., lost in ‘he fire. Among the enaSte amendments was an item of $10,000 for miscellaneous expenses and $500 to pay R. R. Quay salary as clerk during the summer. Also $5,000 is appropri- ated, to be paid out of the sundry civil find of 1893, for the issue of diplomas and medals to women exhibitors at the world’s fair, There is an item of $127,00) for the pay of custodians and janitors of public build- ings outside of the District of Columbia, ——_—_—_ o+_____ CAMPAIGN AT DETROIT. Interest Centers the Mayoralty and Congressional Contests. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Nov. 3.—The only campaign on in Michigan this year is the election in Detroit. The election will be held November 7, and much interest is felt throughout the state in the result. The interest centers chiefly around the fate of Hagen 8S. Pingree, who is making his third run for mayorality. He has the ad- vantage of having a powerful personal machine at his back, and of having the entire municipal government and patron- age under absolute control. The advantages under normal circumstances would be great, but it is a heavy handicap he is laboring under, and the prospects are that he will be defeated. Marshal Godfrey, the democratic candi- date, is a conservative business man who has never before conspicuously in politics, and has no entangling alliance with cliques or factions. He is in the cam- paign under much the same conditions as Mr. Pingree was four years ago, and ap- peals to much the same element outside of the rank and file of his own party. Detroit has a congressional election as well as municipal to choose a successor to the late J. Logan Chipman. The candidates are Levi T. Griffin, democrat, and James H. Stone, republican. The congressional elec- | tion wiil depend more or less on the result of the muntcipal campaign, but the district is so constructed that the democrats have a decided advantage. The district was laid out by the democratic legislature two years ago, and a good deal of attention was paid to making it surely democratic. In the campaign last year Judge Chipman was elected by a plurality of about 3,000. Grif- fin will undoubtedly be elected. ee CHEERS GREET THE BELL. Enthusiasm wn for the Relic of 776. PITTSBURG, Pa., Nov. 3.—The special vestibuled train conveying the Liberty Beli to Philadelphia arrived in Pittsburg at 7 o'clock this morning unheralded. There was no demonstration of any kind, an] at 7:30 o'clock the train started east over the Penn- sylvania railroad. At Cedarville, Ohio, last night, Council- man W. H. Felton of Philadelphia stepped out of the sleeping car to ride on the flat ear on which was the bell. As the trein rounded a curve Mr. Felton fell off the car and was quite badly bruised. His abserce was not discovered until the train arrived at Dennison, Ohio. Mr. Felton telegraphed to his friends on the train that ne was aot seriously injured and will continue his journey this evening. ALTOONA, Pa., Nov. 3.—The liberty bell arrived here at 11:20 o'clock this morning, ten minutes behind the scheduled time. From Cincinnati the liberty bell train last night ran through a succession of bonfires and fireworks that only ceased when rain began falling heavily. Great crowds stood at every station and cross roads and a more splendid exhibition of patriotism has never been made in the southern part of Ohio. All through the night sounds of cheering and the occa- sional boom of a cannon greeted the old bell as it flew along in the darkness. Columbus was reached long after mid- night and all on the train save the guardi- ans of the bell were asleep. But a goodly crowd was at the station and fireworks were set off and locomotive whistles screeched a salute to the famous relic. When Pittsburg was reached the rain was heavy and the presence of the bell in the smoky city attracted little or no atten- tion, East of Pittsburg big crowds were at every station. At Irwin, Derry and other places school children undér umbrellas stood to cheer the bell as it flew past them. Through the Conemaugh valley flags fint- tered the workmen in the big mills waved hats and aprons while the whistles were blowing and church bells rang out salutes to the old bell of independence. Rolivar, Nineveh, Morellyille, Johnstown and Conemaugh City,.each turned out its population and the gloomy morning had no effect on the enthusiasm of the people. At Cresson and other mountain towns similar scenes were enacted and at Altoona, when a stop of ten minutes was made, an immense crowd was massed in and around the station and the bell was given an ova- tion of the heartiest sort. ay SCE Surprised Their Friends. On Wednesday evening Benjamin Fenner of Newville, Va., superintendent of the Prince Georges county, Va., schools, and Lizzie A. Brooks of Prince Georges Court Hoseu, arrived here and procured from Mr. R. J. Meigs, assistant clerk of the court, a marriage license. Their departure for the purpose is said to have been a compiete sur- prise to their friends in Prince Georg:s. ——__. Mechanic Liens.

Through a letter received a day or two ago by a personal friend in this city cf Mr. King it is known that the report in regard to his going to the Bloomingdale asylum is true, but it is believed that the cause was not insanity, for the reason that in this letter, written by Mr. King himself, he states that he is going to the asylum for a month, and then if he is not better that he intends to put himself under care of Dr, Weir Mitchell. His friends in this city believe that Mr. King is suffering from nervous prostration, and that he went to the asylum because of some special fa- cilities for treatment, or for some other reason, which, however, has no connection with any disorder of the mind. —$_<»—___ Today's Order: The Commissioners today ordered: “That the water main in alley of square 1023 be lowered to conform to the grade of alley, cost of work to be charged to the water department.

The young man who evidently considered a knowledge of female foibles his specialty sat with his chair pushed a little back from the table and discoursed instructively while his companion drank coffee and looked im- pressed. “What I like,” began the knowing one, “is trimness and economy about women’s dresses. Don't you?” The other one said in a non-committal way that he found nothing to object to in trimness and economy. “Now, look at that girl at the table in the ” pursued the first one.as one who conducts an object lesson. “The girl in dark brown cloth, I mean. Did you ever see anything simpler and neater? No frills, no flounces, no lacey jiggers down the front —just a neat linen shirt front and tiny sil- ver ‘studs. And her hat! It’s absolutely simple—not a feather or a flower. It match- es her gown—that is all Why can’t ali women dress like that?” The listener said that he didn’t know, and the instructor on his way rejoicing. “See those two at the second table to the left—feathers on aod hats, — on vend dresses, foolish, puckered up ings al their waists. Probably those little idiots have spent a week’s salary on their clothes and yet—what a difference!” The instructor's friend admitted that there was a difference. And the two un- fortunates who had had the words of the wise young man blown to them began to laugh when they had recovered slightly from their annoyance. “How much do you suppose Estelle’s brown cloth cost her?” said one. “It was $60," said the second. “It was made by that uptown tailor and is silk lined.” “And how much do you have to pay to have your ‘simple white linen shirt fronts’ done up?” “With the cuffs they're 10 cents, I think. And Estelle wears ten a week, she says. Now, you know, your laces can be renova' ed for nothing in your own basin at home. “I know it. And the reason I have flow- ers on my hat is because I made it myself out of last year’s things.” . “So did I mine. Estelle bought hers for $12 from that new French milliner.” “And as for my dress, it is last autumn’s best sponged and turned, and we had the dressmaker two days at two and a half a day to make it. ‘And the conversation ended with a super- ficiaily irrelevant statement. The Hurricane oh Mo From the Springfield Repablican, ‘The severe storm which swept along the New England coast on Thursday passed over Mount. Washington with more than usual force. Early Thursday morning a northeast wind, accompanied with a heavy fall of rain, set in, which increased rapid- ly. The morning train which reached the summit a little after 11 came near being lifted from the track as it passed the Lizzie Bourne monument, about one thousand feet from the Summit House, and the wind con- tinuing with even greater velocity, the con- ductor wisely concluded not to make the usual afternoon return trip. All the after- noon there was no abatement, and the ve- locity could not have been less than 100 miles an hour, and at times it must have gone up to 125, At sunset there came a change, and the wind shifted into the north- west. At 10 o'clock it began again to in- crease, and soon afterward reached as Sreat a velocity as had prevailed from the northeast during the day. There was less fall of rain, but the force of the wind stead- ily increased up to 2:30 Friday morning, at which time it had assumed the aspects of & tornado. There was a continuous roar. So deafening at times that ordinary conver: sation was carried on with difficulty. About 1 o'clock I waS dwakened by of my bed and of the Bg gry t i dous crash; the entire chimney above the reof had fallen upon the roof of the dor- mer window over my room, dashed downward to the rocks below. As this sort of thing was becoming a usual, I went down and there found many of the guests of the house, including Dr. W. C. Prime of New York, and his sister- in-law, Mrs. Slosson of Hartford, and .he employes of the house, waiting for a turn in the storm. With every gust the pressure upon the house was something tremendous. to the hotel office, Know! that the house had been thoroughly belted together when built, it did not seem pos- sible for it to give way under the great strain, unless the windows were blown in. The badly frightened guests were planning an escape, and pleaded to be taken across the platform to the office of “Among the Clouds,” the strongest building on the sum. mit, but this could not be done, as it would have been impossible to stand upon the platform, even for an instant. There is now no record of the velocity of the wind kept here, the weather been opened this season, bu! what I have experienced here before, when a record was kept, it could not have been less than 150 miles an hour. At no time in my seventeen years’ experience on the gum- mit of this mountain have I ever known anything to compare with it. The hotel building, which ts nearly 200 feet long, trem- bled like a leaf in a gale. The suspended lemps swung back and forth. Even the lightstands in the sleeping rooms joined in the prevailing custom and swayed back and forth so as to make it almost impossible to keep a lighted candle burning. While the velocity of the wind is greater here than that which has been recorded at any weather station in this country or in Europe, the pressure ts much lighter than at sea level. If it was not, nothing could stand in the great gales that sometimes pass over this mountain. Mount Washing- ton is in the storm track of the St. Law- rence valley, and all unusual velocities of wind sweeping from west to east are felt here to a greater extent than at other places, ——___+0+—___ Wm.
