Election Returns of the Past That Bear on the Future. PERCENTAGE STRENGTH ————— Just now the practical politiclans are seriously debating the question: What will be the real effect in November of the action of the populists in seconding the nomina- tion of Bryan? Usually the indorsement of a candidate by a third party is a great ald to him. It may mean the carrying of many close states, and hence It may secure for him the final victory. It {is a serious problem whether this will be the result in Mr. Bry- an’s case, for certain peculiar reasons. Were the election to rest with the people of such now truly doubtful states as Ne- braska, California, Missouri, Kansas, Colo- rado and other communities in the mining region, where the free silver movement started, the indorsement of the populists would certainly go far toward making Bryan President, But the republican man- agers have greatly discounted the cam- paign in these states by basing their cal- culations for victory on New England, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, Minnesota, Wis- consin and perhaps Kentucky. Should they carry all of these states their candidate would have 249 of the 442 electoral votes, or 27 more than a majority. They there- fore trim off Kentucky and West Virginia, losing 19 votes, and still claim 230 in the electoral college, or 8 more than enough. This necessitates the carrying of such states as Michigan, Indiana and Illinois, which may be considered as fair fighting ground for the combined forces favorable to free silver. The Real Battle Ground. Thus the real battle field is almost sure to include the states of the Ohio valley, Michigan, Maryland and Iowa, and the is- sue comes squarely on the exact worth of the populistic indorsement in those states, and not what it is worth in the far west ard in the south. To answer that question would be a feat in prophecy. To guess at the answer is merely to echo the claims of the party managers.* Therefore the best Way out of the woods at this stage of the campaign js to glance at the past and see the strength of the populist vote in former elections in these states. Such a considera- tion must lie wholly outside of the posai- bilities of bolts from the two great parties, free silver republicans voting for Bryan and sound meney democrats supporting McKinley. It concerns only the value of the fusion movement in these debatable states, irrespective of the changes in oid party lines caused by new issues. For instance, take Kentucky. According to the returns of the last three elections held in that state the populists have prac- tically ceased to be a factor in the cam- paigns. The following table ‘Illustrates this fact more forcibly than words: Kentucky. 1891. ++ 116,087 4. oo 144,11 48.87% 25,631 S.85% 3,208 Lis% +289,170 340,844 357,057 Thus it is to be seen that in these three elections the populists of Kentucky have been gradualiy dwindling, not only in actual numbers, but also in the percentage of their strength as computed on the basis of the total vote cast. The percentage figures tell the story. In 1895 the populists might have defeated the republican state ticket by a perfect fusion with the demo- crats, but it is a question now whether they will be strong enough, in view of their diminishing numbers, and also in view of the great size of the sound money faction of the democratic party, to form a success- ful fusion this year.

But in 1894 a fusion with the democrats would not have defeated the re- 873,646 859,275, the populist publican ticket, nor would a fusion with the republicans in 1892 have beaten the demecrats. lt would seem as though a large part of the increase in the populist column in 1804 came from the democracy, which fell off at a great rate in two years. In 1804 32,654 of the 59,792 populists voted in the city of Chicago alone. Indiana. 62,682 In 1892 the populists by fusion could have controlled the state.

Weather Interfered With the Hyde Park Mectings. Great preparations had been made for the demonstration in favor of international peace In Hyde Park, London, yesterday, under the auspices of the organization com- mittee for the international socialist and trade union congress, in session in London today. The demonstration committee had been at work on the arrangements since March, and had distributed 20,000 hand bills and 1,000 posters, had employed a band to head the procession, and had made elaborate arrangements with the commissioner of works and the police, but what they could not arrange for was the weather, which proved against them, and the downpour of rain practically made a fiasco of the demon- stration. Very brief speeches were made by “Tom” Mann, the socialist ex-member of parlia- ment; Ben Tillett, Bernard Shaw, the well- known writer on socialist topics; Edward Aveling of the Gas Workers’ and General Laborers’ Union; F. W. Wilson, Herren Bebel and Liebknecht, socialist members of the German reichstag; Dr. Victor Adler, the Austrian socialist: MM. Milleraud, La Fargue, Jules Guesde and Jean Jaures, socialist members of the French chamber of deputies, and others. The speakers de- clared that the masses of the people did not desire war, which, they said, was only pro- voked by the rulers and the capitalists. The names of Emperor William, Dr. Jameson and Cecti Rhod when they were men- tioned by the spe: Ta, were hissed by the few auditors. Simultaneous resolutions were declared carried at twelve platforms in favor of in- ternational arbitration, of the eight-hour law, of universal suffrage, and of other measures advocated by the socialists, and denouncing “the greed of the culing priv- fleged classes, who provoke wars in order to control the markets of the world in their own interests.” It was further declared that In order to insure peace the abolition of the capitalist and the landlord systems is necessary. For a Change. Alpheus E. Riddle, trustee of the estate of the late Christiana Frank, teday peti- toned the Equity Court to appoint some one in his stead. He is represented by At- torney Percival M. Brown. Fusion has been twice successfully ac- complished in Michigan, resulting in the election of Begole and Winans. But not in 1892, 1804 or 1895 could the third party have swung the tide, although it has stead- ily increased In proportion. It lost in num- bers in 1895 and this vote seemed to stay ai home along with many thousand demvu- crats and republicans. The state was surely republican and the issues were not attrac- tive. Judging from all three of the elec- tions here reproduced, embracing both re- publican and democratic tidal waves, there does not appear to be much ground for a successful fusion movement.

The populist vote was not given in one district, and it may have been large encugh to make a slight increase in the percentage for 18% So close was the state in 184 that had Weav- er's vote been cast solidly for Harrison the latter would have had within elght votes of Cleveland, but that was high water mark for populism in the state, and the vote of third party ts hardly to be consider- ed this year. Rep... Totals........213,275 ‘186,846 Still less 1s this vote an important ele- ment in Maryland. The prohibitionists are far more consequntlal as a balance, but the two main parties have always monopo- lized the vast bulk of the voting strength and fusion 1s an absurdity under the cir- cumstances. General Conclusions, Thus it is apparent that in Indiana only of all these doubtful states where the battle is to rage the fiercest have the populists ever held the balance of power, and then only by a narrow margin. In Kentucky, West Virginia and Maryland they are a weak or dwindling force, while in Michigan and Iowa they can not accomplish results en the basis of past experlences. In Illi- rois they have a fair strength, but not a controlling power. The value of their in- dcrsement of Bryan, therefore, seems ques- tionable, especially ‘as it is conceded that they will alienate many votes from the regular democratic party, and that at best they can orly throw a part of their entire strength to the Chicago nominee. ain ee . HAZING AT WEST POINT. Cadet Rand Receives a Sentence That May Stop the Custom. According to information received at the War Department, hazing at the West Point Military Academy has received a heavy blow. The court-martial which tried Cadet Elliott H. Rand last Wednesday for com- pelling ““Plebes” Harris and Neely to stand on their toes, reached a verdict Saturda: afternoon. It sentenzed Rand to one year’ confinement, with a deprivation of all privileges, including his three months’ fur- Jough next year. After the cadets return to barracks Rand will also be obliged to walk a tour of guard duty every Saturday after- noon, while the rest of the cadets are at Mberty. Rand's severe seatence has struck terror into the hearts cf all the would-be hazers. The evidence did not directly connect him with the hazing of the two “plebes,” and he made a strong defense to substantiate his derial. His sentence may also interfere with his class standing. He is at present at the head of his class, but the hazing episode will seriously mar a hitherto un- blemished record. . ———————— Hotel Arrivals. Raleigh—J. W. Batley, Denver, Col.; Mr. and Mrs. T. M.

Another change is to be made at Trinity Church. This time the parish will lose Rev. Father Zimmermaa, the new assistant pastor, who, in the short time he has been there, bas made himself so popular. Rev. Father Zimmerman has been ordered to Germany, his native country. He has only been in America about one year. Trin- ity was the first church he ever served in his present capacity. Before his advent here he devoted himself to writing and ed- ucational work. As a writer on religious subjects he has attained considerable Prominence. He 1s a deep thinker, and an authority on all the topics he handles. Many Journals have profited through his contributions, Father Zimmerman has mingled much with his parishioners here, and he will in consequence be doubly missed. He will take his departure about the first of the month. It is reported here, authoritatively, too, that the pustor of Trinity, Rev. Father Scanlan, will be transferred shortly to a new charge. Tenleytown Road. The Tenleytown electric Hne is now be- ing operated by the machinery in the Po- tomac Light and Power Company's plant. The change was made on Saturday night. The power house of these combined compa- nies Is now one of the most perfectly equip- ped in the United States. The plant is of the most costly and complete in existence. Both coroporations are now owned prac- tically by the same men. The Cramps of Philadelphia are among themost interested, it Is said. Several million dollars, it is as- serted, can be commanded at almost any time. The power houses consist of ail those large buildings formerly occupied by the Edward L. Dent Iron Company, on Water or K street, at the corner of 33d. The structures are new. Notes. One of Jullus Lansburgh’s business teams ran away on Saturday in Georgetown, and collided with a P street tree box. The driver was thrown¢out and stunned. Tae wagon was also damaged. The break in the canal at Big Pool,which made its appearance last Wednesday, quickly widening, so that navigation had to be suspended, has been repaired. Unusual efforts were used to facilitate the work. Late Saturday boats began to once more move over that part of the highway. It vas thought at first that fully ten days would be consumed by’ the' repairers. SS THE POPULIST PROGRAM. i ‘There Will Be Delay! in Notifying Bryan of His'Nowtination. St. Louts Special to the New York Tribune. It is the presant program of the populist bosses to delay informing Mr. Bryan of his romination as long as,possible, In the hope that some terme for fysion, on Bryan-Wat- son electors may be agreed to, and the democratic organization jn the southern states reconciled to sypporting so distaste- ful a vice presidential candidate as the Georgia populist. Senptor,Allen, the chair- man of the notification committee, has se- cured permission to diserfible the commit- tee at his own pleasure, and it is even whispered that he contemplates not call- ing the members together at all. This ex- treme policy is advocated by Governor Hol- comb of Nebraska, Senator Stewart of Ne- vada, and few others of the western con- tingent. The southern leaders stoutly op- pose such abandonment of party dignity and responsibility. A, L, Mims of Tennes- see, whose name was before the convention for the nomination for Vice President, was positive in the assertion that Mr. Bryan will be “notified.” “We do not care much,” said he, “whether he tormally accepts the nomination or not. We will yote for him just the same. I think that Mr. Sewall will decline the nomination from the democrats, and this will leave the way open for Mr. Bryan to accept the nomination, with Mr. Watson as his running mate. If Mr. Sew- all should accept, it would be difficult to say whether Mr. Bryan would accept or not.” ; Trustees’ Estimates Submitted for | the Year 1897-8, A TOTAL OF $1,584,076 IS ASKED Two New Manual Training Build- ings Are Included.

SPAIN MUST APOLOGIZE. Rumored Demand of This Country in the Todd Case. The correspondence between Spain and the United States in regard to the case of the schooner William Todd has resulted, it is said, in a demand on the part of the United States for an apology and disa- vowal by the Spanish authorities. The out- rage alleged to have been committed upon the Todd occurred last spring while the ves- sel was sailing in the vicinity of the Isle of Pines. In the correspondence the Secretary of State has laid down the rule, as applied in the Allianca case, that the Todd was sailing on a natural highway at the time she was overhauled, and that the Spanish man-of- var had no right whatever to interfere with her. The Todd is a sailing vessel, and Was on a voyage from Mobile to Kingston when the outrage occurred. In order to take advantage of the wind she had to make long tacks, and upon one of these ap- proached within six miles of the Isle of Pines. A Spanish gunboat had been watching her, and in order to cause her to lay-to fired solid shot across her bow. The command- ing officers of the man-of-war boarded the schconer,examined her papers and searched her, and finding nothing suspicious allowed her to continue on her way. The authori- ties say that six miles is beyond the terri- torial jurisdiction of Spain. Return of General and Troops. Maj. Gen. Miles returned to the city yes- terday from a visit to the camp of the Pennsylvanta state troops at Lewiston. The two troops of cavalry at Fort Myer and light battery C at the Washington Bar- racks, which participated in this encamp- ment, will return to Washington this after- noon, tri cod all Socal alleen, ‘ins, tnoacanco let ‘and al and Telephone Stock dealt in. eo American Bell Telephone Stock bought and sold.

TIED BALTIMORE. Two Three From the Monumental City. The team cycle race held Saturday at Park cycle track, Baltimore, resulted in a tie between Baltimore and Washington. A score of ten points was made by each Washiugton Riders Against tear® but Washington had only two men in the race, while Baltimore had three. The Washingtonians refused to ride when Referee Albert Mott announced that Fred Sims of Washington was ineligible and should not ride. The other members of the Washington team were George Ball and William Sims, a brother to Fred. The ground of ineligibility was an insufficient term of residence in Washington to satisty L. A. W. rules. This question had been settled by the national racing board. Opposed to this trio and repres -nting Bal- timore were Fred L. Meyers, Robert L. French and T. Cecil Downs. When the Washingtcnians withdrew Mr. Mott warn- ed them that a strike on the track would be @ serious charge; the two eligibles re- mounted end the race was ridden by two Washingtonians and a full team of three for Baltimore. Young Sims and Meyers made a game fight for first place, finishing se, with Sims the winner. ‘Ball was third, French fourth and Downs fifth. First place counted six points, second five, third four, fourth three and fifth two points. ‘Two mcre of these races are yet to be held, the dates for which have not been fixed. ———.-—__ WRENN BEATS THE CHAMPION. Hovey Defeated in the Final Round for the Longwood Cup. Closer or more exciting tennis than that cf Saturday afterncon in the final of the Lorgwood tournament would be impossible, and the large gathering of tennis enthusi- ests who saw ex-Champion Wrenn beat Champion Hovey were kept in a constant flutter of excitement from the first stroke to the last. It was a wonderfully plucky match for the ex-champion, however. Hovey captured the second and fourth sets easily and led in all three of the oth- ers, but Wrenn’s uphill play pulled out the first, third and fifth. Although Hovey scored three more games than Wrenn in the five sets, the total number of stroke: won was cxactly the same, 201 be credited to each of the players. is show a much larger proportion of ned strokes, howeve for he passed Wrenn seventy-eight Umes and made seven aces on service, while Wrenn did not make a single ace on service and passed the champion only twenty-nine times in the match, Hovey’s fatal weakness was the net, and he drove seventy-nine balls into it as against thirty-nine similar errors for Wrenn.
