MICHIGAN’S MAJORITY Republicans Claim a Big Margin in the Wolverine State. DISPASSIONATE VIEW OF THE FIGHT Populists Appear to Have Gained Some Additional Strength. ISSUES OF THE ELECTION EES EEE Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Oct. 30, 1804. According to republican calculation, Gov. Rich will be elected by a plurality of at least 35,000, and they profess that they would not be surprised to see the figures go 10,000 or 15,000 higher. They count on saving all the Congressmen, with the pos- sible exception of the second and tenth districts. They claim that of the thirty- two members of the next senate at least twenty-three will be republican, and of the 100 membe¥s of the house they will have seventy-four. If their legislative expecta- tions are realized they will have at least ninety-seyen votes on joint ballot, out of a total of 18%, compared with ninety-one two years ago. The next legislature will elect two United States Senators, and in addi- tion to this will reapportion the state into legislative, senatorial and congressional dis- tricts. Democratic Adminsio As for the democrats, they are not mak- ing many claims. They admit that the re- publicans have the everlasting bulge on them, as far as the state Ucket goes, but hope to save a little something from the wreck in the way of Congressmen. They count on carrying the first, second, sev- enth and tenth districts, and put the fifth and eigkth in the doubiful column, At present the democrats hold the first, sec- ond, fifth, seventh and tenth districts. On legislature they are not saying a word, but hope with the aid of the populists, whose candidates they have in many districts in- dorsed, to have at least a respectable mi- norit; The prohibitionists polled 20,000 votes two years ago, and will probably make just about the same showing this time. They did not elect anybody two years ago and will not upan the present occasion. Populists Making a Fight. The populists, two years ago, polled 21,- 000 votes. They have been making en ag- gressive campaign, and the financial and in- dustrial depression has aided them in win- ning converts. The dissatisfied democrats will, many of them, vote the populist state ticket as one’ way of registering a Fick against Don M. Dickinson and the referee system. The A. P. A. charges against Mr. Fisher will cause many democrats to vote the populist ticket, if they vote at all, in preference to the republican. The populists are claiming a strength of 69,000, but admit that such a vote will be no criterion of their real strength. They had three members in the last legislature, and hope to have as many more, with democratic assistance, in the next. ‘These are the claims the party manage-s are making, and of the claims, the republi- cans’ are probably the best founded and will come out the nearest true. It is certain the republicans will make a «weeping victory. ‘They will carry the first, or Detroit district, which was once good for a democr: jority of anywhere from 5,000 to s,000. Pesition of Foreign Born Voters. ‘The chief element of doubt in the second district is as to how the Irisn and French democrats in Monroe county will go. If they stay democratic, Thos. E. Bartworth will be elected. Otherwise, Gen. Spalding, the republican nominee, will have the best chance. Notwithstanding the republican claims, the seventh district may be fairly considered debatable ground, and in the tenth the democrats have the advanta ze, al- though the A. P. A. is being worked hard in the interest of the republican nominee. The fifth and eighth districts, which the democrats claim are doubtful, are both sure- ly republican. In this campaign tne re- publicans have had a great advantage in having so many sure districts In which ab- solutely no money or work has been neces- sary beyond what the local talent could easily furnish. These districts are the third, fourth, sixth, ninth, eleventh end ‘These districts will all roll up big republican majorities either naturally, cr, as in the sixth district, because of demo- cratic rows. ‘The fifth and eighth have also been very easy, and the democratic fight in Detroit has given them a picnic there. Stevenson Stumping the State. The democrats will this week put forth their greatest efforts to stem the tide. Vice President Stevenson made four speeches tn the state Monday. Ex-Governor James E. Campbell made three speeches in this city, Saginaw and Bay City. Allen B. Morse, counsel at Glasgow, Assistant Secretary of State Edwin F. Uhl and Wm. E. Quinby, minister at The Hague, have all been in the state and working for the democracy. Dickinson, who, it was expected, would go on the stump, has not done so; he has been attending to his law business and letting his partner run the machine. Congress- man Justin R. Whiting, who had the anti- referee fight in the state convention, and was badly snowed under, is on the stump in the seventh district trying to pull the congressional nominee through, and say- ing a kind word for the state ticket. The republicans have no outside speakers in the state. They feel that it 1s entirely needless. There are no new developments in the senatorial situation, and will not be until after election. The’ fleld of candidates has not been enlarged any since the formal announcement »f S. 8. Olds’ candidacy. As soon as it is known who will have seats in the vext legislature the figuring will be- come very lively, and it is highly probable that several dark-horse candidates will de- velop for the short term. Senator McMillan Will be re-elected without the shadow of a joubt. ic ma- pen METHODIST BISHOPS MEET. The Distinguished Lenders in Church at Philadelphia, PHILADELPHIA, November 1.—All the bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States who are at present in this country assembled in Wesley Hall, this city, today.

The sessions of the general committee will be especially interesting from the fact that a larger number of churches than ever before gre in financial difficulties and have appealed to tha board for ald. Other mat- ters of importance will come before the board. There will be two sessions today, tomorrow and Saturday. Sunday will be observed as church extension day. Death of a Giantess. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., No¥ember 1.— Miss Fannie Fletcher, a well-known lady of Hill City, dropped dead this morning while in the act of picking up kindling in her wood yard. Miss Fletcher was chiefly known throughout the country on account of her size, being neary six feet tall and weighing over 300 pounds.

What next?” Here a series of feminine shrieks were heard, and a wonfih Whose hair was streaming down her back and the rouge on whose cheeks wasi'str-nked with tear marks threw herselfoat the Cadi’s feet. “Staffir allah!” exclaimed:the Cadi. “What ails you, woman? and why don’t you buy waterproof paint?” ° “I can’t afford it, because I spend all my money for theater ticke' But, your high- ness, I come here for justice against a man who hath wronged me.

Speak, woman.

Be- hind me sat a Kafir who asked me to re- move my head-dress so that he might bet- ter see the play. Why should I? I had paid for my seat and my head-dress, and I had a right to sit In the one and wear the other. So I simply turned around and stared at the son of a slave. For a long time he twisted and fidgeted and dodged from side to side, and then rising up, seized my head-dress, tore it to pieces and walked out of the theater.” “Mustapha,” asked the Cadi, ever see this #oman before?” “Yes, your sublime perspicuity; I once ~~ So = the S pegel “And for what reason do you su} e the slave destroyed her head-gear?” pees “Because he had the nerve, your highness.

Let it forthwith be done. Allah karim!—God is most merciful, Mahomet is His Prophet,and if ever there was a Cadi with no flies on him, I am that particular Cadi.” RSE AT The Hat and the Tobacco User. To tne Editor of The Evening Star: The complaints continue against the the- ater hat, as they certainly should. There is not the shadow of an excuse for wearing a hat at night upon any occasion, and it is surely an imposition and outrage to so ob- struct the view of others at a public enter- tainment. Ever since my. attention was first called to the matter, in Germany, eleven years ago, I have never worn a hat to the theater without removing it immedi- ately upon being seated. But there is outrage that should be protested against in the same breath—that is the tobacco saturated nvtn whmen cannot es- cape without leaving/ithelf seats. We can, by continually moving thehead, escape the hat. This is not am onslaught upon the use of tobacco. While nd’ tobacco user 1s permitted to enter «my home more than once as a guest, ands thethouse is always aired and disinfected after the departure of such a guest, but bejng gj believer in indi- vidual iverty in the individual domain, I am perfectly willin#meA should use to- bacco until the Almigthty-sees fit to evolve them to a degree of degency and cleanliness. Individual Mberty, nowever, is converted in- to impudent license When, a man emerges from some smoking Wen, Qvery fiber of his clothing reeking with tebacco, smokes a filthy, cheap cigar ta the door of the thea- ter, then walks in, takes his seat, poisoning the air for all who are near him, and then weravates the outrage by going out be- tween acts for a glass of beer and another smoke. As this protest.ib not that of one, but many, we think it; hut fair that The Star, as a public voice.and benefactor, should insert it. While We are not so sanguine as to hope that men will purge themselves and put on the garment of purity and cleanliness from within, it may suggest to some, not yet quite dead to the fine moral sense of purity and the rights of others, that they might be a little more careful out- wardly in public assemblies. BR. J. “did you Men Should Be Patient. To the Editor of The Evening Stur: Having heard much and read more of the nmuch-mocted “theater hat,” allow me the privilege of “a finger in the pie,” not in de- fense of the article itself, but of the fair wearer. To come to the point, I should like to re- mind “Au Fait" that while women may “be led,” they will not “be driven,” and that no self-respecting manager would dare ccmmand the ladies to remove their hats. The fashion of wearing the “theater hat” or any other hat during a stage performance nas been in vogue very many years, and was established by well-meaning persons, who, possessing a “hack” hat and a “best” hat, did not feel financially able to add to their wardrobe the dainty but expensive “evening bonnet.” Therefore they adorned their with whatever appeared m erally their “Sunday best. Now, a habit of so long standing cannot be broken in a single night or a week of nights. As a few have already set the example, I feel certain that the many peaceably in- clined and sensible will follow suit, if the men will but have patience. One fact remains undisputable, that 1s, that the woman and her “theater hat” can- not possibly be more objectionable and obnoxious than the man who finds it neces- sary to leave his seat after each act, inconveniencing every one in his path as he goes, treading on all toes as he comes and finally depositing himself in his seat, dispensing “‘to the right” and “to the lett” of him an odor of his “smile” strong enough to disgust all the “theater hats” in the vicinity. ONE WHO HAS FORESWORN THE TER- ROR, The Proper Thing. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: It seems to me that there is a simple rem- edy at hand for the so-called “theater hat.” Let women who wear them be taught that a well-dressed woman of the world would no more think of wearing a large hat to the theater, or any evening affair, than she would wear a cloth tailor-made walking dress to a dinner party. The proper head- covering, if any is worn, is a small coronet, with a flat bow in front, which is no more an obstruction for others’than the hair. M. F. L. gat Sentenced to the Penitentiary. ‘Thomas Gannon, a young white man, was convicted in Criminal Court No. 2 today of housebreaking, and ‘sentenced by Judge Cole to one and one-half years in the Al- bany penitentiary. Gannon had been: em- ployed by Butcher Santus Auth, and on the 14th of last month broke into the dwelling of his employer and stole a quan- tity of provisions. He then hid himself in a pile of hay in the barp, where he was discovered. Judge Cole gave the. prisoner a fatherly lecture, and told him to make man of himself hereafter. —_——— To Be Brought Here. Detective Weedon went to Baltimore this afternoon to bring here for trial John Far- rell, who 1s better knéwn as “Jack” Farrell, a noted pickpocket, who 1s wanted here on a charge of picking the pocket of a street car conductor, named John Tierney, of $20 in July of last year. At the time the al- leged crime was committed Detective Wee- don captured Farrell and locked him up. He was released on bail, but failed to ap- pear when the case was called, and the security was forfelted. Yesterday he was arrested by one of the Baltimore detectives.

The following named were recommended for acceptance as missionaries: Miss Louise Schereck, Miss Miranda Crouch, Miss Fan- nie E. Meyer, Miss Hlizabeth 8S, Goodwin, Iowa; Mise Helen Gallaway, Iowa; Miss Ruth Collins, Iowa; Miss Gertrude Gilman, Vermont; Miss Gertrude Gates, Vermont Miss Julia M. Donohue, Miss Gertrude Taft, Miss Alice G. Evans, Iowa; Miss Celesta Easton, California; Miss Lizzie V. Tryon, Iowa; Miss Jennie M. Dart. Following this report came the business of selecting the next place of meeting. The names of Topeka, St. Louis and Indianapolis were presented, and the vote resulted as follows: St. Louis, 13; Topeka, 7; Indlan- apolis, 3. It was moved that the choice of St. Louts be made unanimous, but one of the Topeka delegates objected. The north- western branch gave notice of an amend- ment to the constitution, which will be taken up for consideration at the session next year. Miss Hodgkins presented the question of the Wesleyan Home of Massachusetts. This home was endowed for the benefit of the children of missionaries. For several reesons it did not succeed. Last year it had beer. turned over to the Missionary Society. It was now a success. She asked that cortributions of books and magazines be made to the home. Mrs. Davis presented a memorial praying for certain changes in the by-laws. These were liberally discussed by paragraphs, and some of the suggestions were approved. It was moved and adopted that as the Sunday anniversary service was that mect- ing of the society in which the general public felt most interest, especial efforts should be made hereafter to make it as prominent as possible. It was urged that the secretaries, delegates and missionaries concentrate on this event, and make it more enthusiastic in the future than it has been in the past. Mrs. Skidmore presented the report from the conference of Corea. It recited the progress which is being made there in mis- sion woik, and the hopes of the mission workers. ‘The ladies of the society were pleasantly entertained by Mrs. Cleveland at the White House yesterday afternoon. The lower part of the Executive: Mansion was thrown open and Mrs Cleveland drove in from the coun- try for the especial purpose of greeting the delegates. Mrs. Eaton, president of the society, introduced the ladies, and smiles, handshakes and kindly words were gener- ously exchanged. At last night’s session Miss Hodgkins ad- dressed the session on the development of the story of Christ in the world. —_ SHOT AT HIS RIVAL. Nicholas Wood Had a Revolver and Used It. Nichclas Wood is the name of a young cclored man who tried to make work for his employer last v.eek, and now is on his way to the penitentiary. He is a watch- man at the Columbian Harmony burying ground, where he is supposed to see that resurrectionists 4) not appear and rob the graves. Holding such # position, Nicholas naturally carries a pistol, and if he had only carried it about the city of the dead at night he would probably not have gotten himself in trouble. But a mixture of love and pistol was more than he could bear, and he tried to end the life of his success- ful rival, and make arother job for the sexton of the cemetery. But his aim was not true, and instead of benefiting the sex- ton he made work for the police and Judge Miler. Annie Hamilton, a cclored maiden who presides over the kitchen in the house of a citizen near 11th and I streets, is the fair damsel who caused the trouble. She had loved Nicholas, but her affections had been shifted to # more prosperous young man named Armtead Lewis. Nicholas did not like the idea of being jilted by Annie, and he corcluded to pu. out of the way the young man who had succeeded him in Annie's affections. Last Thursday night was the time he selected for putting into execution his ideas cercerning his rival. Armed with the pistol he was supposed to carry about the cemetery, he called in the neighbcrhood of Anrie’s service place, and awaited developments. Arm:tead Lewis was also in the neigh- borhood, and when Nicholas saw him with his former sweetheart, and overheard their conversation, he endeavored to make known his presence on the street. “Look out, I'll attend to him,” he said, and, drawing his revolver, he fired three shots in rapid succession. The bullets miss- ed their mark, but.cne of them went — Annie's dress, but did not injure ere Policeman Eaton, who was in the neigh- borhood at the time, was attracted to the scene by hearing the pistol shots, but the young man who had done the shooting had disappeared. He got the man’s name as well as the names‘of the witnesses, and yesterday Precinct Detective Helan arrest- ed Weed. This morning, before Judge Mil- ler, Wood was given a hearing on a charge of attempted murder. He had admitted to the officers that he fired the shot at Lewis, and claimed that the latter had drawn a knife on him. Judge Miller held him for the action of the grand jury, and he was committed in default of $1,000 real estate security. ————— THEY CELEBRATED. Boys Who Were Over Hilarious Last Night. The sidewalks and streets bore evilence this morning of the good time enjoyed by the small boys last night at the expense of older persons. Flour was thrown by the boys, and had the same quantity of flour been donated to the bakers they could have sold bread for two cents a loaf for a week. The boys spared no one who came within their reach, some of them even going so far as to throw flour on passengers in street cars. There was one arrest made for this con- duct, the victim being a large colored boy named George Wood. He was introduced to Judge Kimball this morning as the leader of one of the disorderly crowds, and the oilicer also charged that he was profane. Judge Kimball fined him $10 or thirty days on the farm, and remarked that he was sor- ry the police did not catch all the boys in the crowd. Ernest Dammon, arrested for making a bonfire in the street, forfeited $5 collateral. Clarence Dunga colored, and Horace Green were given a trial on a charge of making a bonfire on the concrete pave- ment near 13th and N streets. There was no proof that these particular boys actually started the fire. . Judge Kimball, commenting on the case, said that parents are to blame for the mis- conduct on Halloween night in allowing them to run the streets. These boys were fined $2 each, and she judge said he hoped the officer would find the boys who started the fire. —_—_>_— Penalty Too Light. James Snowden, colored, was sentenced by Judge Cole this afterncon to two years in the Albany penitentiary for assaulting Policeman Preston while the officer was erdeavoring to effect the arrest of one John Johnson on the 19th of last August. Judge Cole, in passing sentence, said that the of- fense was one of the most serious with which one could be charged. The maxim -m penalty of two years, he thought, should be made at least ten years, and the mini- mum penalty not less than five years. As- sistant District Attorney Jeffords remarked that the minimum penalty should be eight years. ‘The best way to avoid scalp diseases, hair falling out and premature baldness ts to use the best pre- ventive known for that purpose—Hall’s Hair Re- newer, INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS, ACCOUNTANTS .

In his «nnual report to Congress General’ T. L. Casey, chief of engineers of the army, asks for $1,519,000 for coast defenses and @ much larger sum for river and harbor work in all parts of the country. There has been already expended for coast defense under existing projects the sum of $3,021,- (00, a small fraction only of the total es- timated expense. The construction of em- placements has been already commenced at six of the fifteen ports included in the criginal project, and such work has been recently initiated at two other ports. One 12-inch rifle is now mounted and it is ex- pected that this fall a second will be, ina complete battery, for the defense of New York harbor. Each cf these guns is mounted on a lift, by which the gun may be completely lowered for loading out of sight of an enemy, in 26 seconds, and the loaded gun raised for firing in 21 seconds. The weight of the gun and carriage thus lowered and raised is aboyt 108 tons. A battery of 16 mortars is nearly ready for the defense of New York harbor, and an- other for the defense of San Francisco har- bor. They will be entirely ready before the close of the present fiscal year; so also will be one battery for the defense of Bos- ton harbor and an additional battery for New York, and three -1l2-inch rifles will probably be mounted en barbette on high sites of San Francisco harbor. The completion of emplacements for sev- enteen 10-inch and 8-inch guns, to be mounted on disappearing carriages, is de- layed by want of carriages, and that of seven emplacements for 12-inch and 10- inch guns is likely to be delayed for the same reason this fiscal year. “It is hoped and urged,” says General Casey, “that ap- propriations may be made for the manu- facture of the disappearing carriage, which has been invented by the ordnance depart- ment and has proved itself, from the very first, equal to all the requirements which such a carriage must fulfill. Guns on hand, but delayed by reason of lack of carriages, are certainly strong reasons for such ap- propriations. “To prevent an enemy’s fleet from run- ning by the defenses to be constructed, continues General Casey, “it must be ob- structed in its passage, and thus held under fire of guns. Submarine mines constitute the form of obstruction adcpted and these are operated from mining casements, which are proof against projectiles. The mines are connected to the operating apparatus in these casements by cables, which tra- verse so-called cable galleries. In the year 1888 renewed attention was given to the constructicn of these casements and gal- leries. In that and the three following years $482,581 was appropriated for this work. A balance of $5,509 remains unal- jotted, and a small appropriation Is recom- mended for this work, and another for the purpose of mining outfits. “With the funds appropriated since 1888 twenty-six mining casements and their gal- leries have been commenced at the harbor of Portland, Me.; Boston, Narragansett bay, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Hampton Roads, Wilmington, N. C.; Charleston, 8. C.; Savannah, Pensa- cola and San Francisco. Of these twenty are ready for occupation, but the outfit of cable, mines, etc., is not complete. It must be assumed that these mines will make guns and mortars unnecessary. suits rear SEWERS ORDERED.

The Princeton Alumni Association of the District of Columbia and Southern States recently adopted resolutions in appreciation of the Christian character and distinguish- ed abilities of their late associate, Dr. James C. Welling, whose recent and sudden deati saddened and shocked his friends and the community. After graduating at Prince- ton College in 1814, Dr. Welling filled and adorned more varied and important public positions than is usually permitted to even gifted men. The association expressed the sentiment that as “literary editor of the National Intelligencer in its palmiest days, advocate in the political arena of the cause of the Union in the great struggle of 1860, president of St. John's College at Annapo- lis, Md.,professor of belles lettres in Prince- ton College, and later president of the Co- lumbian University at Washington, Dr. Welling’s influence as an educator was co- extensive with the Union; while in the field of art, science and history, as president of the board of trustees of the Corcoran Art Gallery, regent of the Smithsonian Institu- tion, and president of the Cosmos Club of Washington, his name is associated with those who have dene so much in the last quarter of the century to place Washing- ton in its position as an illuminating center to the whole country.” At a meeting of the board of visitors and governors of St. John’s College, Annapolis, heli on the 3d of October, 1504, the death of Dr. Welling having been announced by the president of the college, the secretary of the board was directed to address a let- ter of sympathy and condolence to the widow and family of Dr. Welling, on behalf of the visitors and governors, “expressin, their high appreciation of his ability om | scholarly attainments; of his many esti- mable traits of character; his varied gifts as a man of letters and educator of youth; and his worth as a citizen and upright Chris- tian gentleman; and also to express their sincere regret at the termination of his honored career, while still engaged -in h, educational work, and in depicting with the charm and vigor of his graphic pen the stirring events which marked the history of his country during the most critical period of its existence.’ —_——_ Question of Ball. Judge Cole this morning refused to re- duce the bail fixed in the Police Court in the case of William Carter, Chas. Shreeves and Chas. Willis, charged with perjury. The amount of bail was $2,000 each, und counsel for the defendants moved that it be reduced to $500. >_— They Used Sticks.
