A meeting of the resident alumni of the Michigan State Agricultural College was held Saturday at Willard’s Hotel, to take appropriate action on the death of Mr. Ed- win Willits, ex-assistant secretary of agri- culture. Mr. Willits was formerly the pres- ident of that institution, and since severing his active connection with it had taken an active interest in its welfare and in its graduates who reside in this city. By them he was held in the highest esteem, and his death came as a personal loss. At the meeting suitable resolutions were adopted, expressing the regret of the local alumni, and paying high tribute to his character as an educator, as a government official and as aman. The resolutions were signed by. Mr. Donald McPherson, the president of the local association, and Mr. Wm. A. Tay- lor, the secretary, and copies will be sent to the family and to the A. C. Record. at Lansing. FOR SOUND MONEY Four Estimates Which Indicate Mo- Kinley’s Election. ALL GIVE HIM LARGE MAJORITIES Polls Made by the New York Herald and the Philadelphia Press. LIFE INSURANCE RETURNS The outlook for the triumph of sound money in November, according to careful estimates made by the New York Heraid yesterday, and the Philadelphia Press, is exceedingly good. The estimate of the Herald gives McKinley 248 electoral votes and Bryan 134, with 42 others favorable to McKinley end*23 favorable to Bryan. The estimate referred to is as follows The Herald predicts, after a careful can- vass of every state in the United States, that William McKinley, jr., of Canton, Ohio, will be elected President on Novem- ber 3 by a large majority of the electoral college. This conclusion has been deter- mined by giving the states of Connecticut, Delaware, INinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin to the candidate of the republican party. These states will give Mr. McKinley 245 votes. William J. Bryan, it is conceded,will carry Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, Mis- souri, Montana, Nevada, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Virginia. These states will give the candidate of the democratic party 134 votes. The doubtful states are California, Kan- sas, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington and Wyoming. These represent 65 votes. Were Mr. Bryan to secure every one of these doubtful state Mr. McKinley would be still elected by a handsome significant majority. The electoral vote of the states in detail is as follows: i Electoral Vote 1896. 1 Certain for Favorable to McKinley. Bryan. McKinley. Bryan, States. Alabama. Set Bi 8s gS War cai 4 ein North Dakota and I vote in Ee The Philadelphia Pre Estimate. A careful poll made by the Philadelphia Press causes that paper to conclude that McKinley will have 280 electoral votes and 1,440,500 plurality in all the states, while it gives to Bryan 87 electoral votes and 410,500 plurality in the states it is predicted he will carry. The Press estimates that 80 elec- toral votes are doubtful. In summing up the political situation the Press says: In the following table an estimate is made of the states considered sure for McKinley and Bryan, and the pluralities by which they will be carried. Those considered doubtful are placed by themseives. Twen- ty-five states are given to McKinley, eleven to Bryan and nine are put in the doubtful column. The estimated pluralities of the sure McKinley states aggregate 1,440,500), and the estimated Bryan pluralities sum up 410,500, leaving a plurality for McKinley of 1,030,000, The doubtful states will probably add from 150,000 to 200,000 to McKinley's plurality, bringing it up to 1,200,000,at least: McKINLEY.

Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Dakota... Vermont. West Virginia: Wisconsin Wyoming . Geagia. Louisiana. Miseiesippl Nevada Montana. 3 Idaho. . 3 wa 8 10 80 The Press states its view of the condition in each state as follows: Alabama will be carried by the democrats by whatever majority they choose to count. Arkansas will go the same way and by the same methods. Late advices from California give it to McKinley by a safe plurality. Colorado is s‘lver mad, and may go nearly unanimously for Bryan. Connecticut’s republican plurality will be the largest the state has ever given. Delaware is thought to be safe for Mc- Kinley by a small plurality. Florida will be made to appear for Bryan. Georgia would be doubtful with a fair election, but the count will show a Bryan plurality. Idaho is put in the doubtful column. Illinois should give as large a plurality as is indicated. But it has heea closely contested,-and the figures may drop a few thousand. Indiana has also been closely coutested, but its industrial interests should make a large McKinley plurality sure. Towa is safely republican, and by a big vote. Kansas Is classed as doubtful, althorgh good authority puts it in the republican column. Kentucky is quite safe for McK‘nley. Louisiana, with the election machinery ee in the hands of the democrats, will be counted for Bryan. Maine is sure for as big a plurality os she gave in September. Maryland gives decisive indications of a republican plurality. Massachusetts’ verdict for honest money will be emphatic. Michigan t is depended upon for a big re- publican vote. Minnesota is believed to be safe on the side of honest money. M'ssissippi will stand in the democratic column. Missouri is doubtful and is classed 50, but there are strong hopes of a republican plurality. Montana is another state put in the doubtful column. Nebraska is still another state classed the same way. Nevada will go for free silver. New Hampshire promises the biggest re- publican majority she ever gave. New Jersey will be for an honest cur- rency and industrial prosperity. New York's plurality will be so large that it can hardly be estimated, and it ‘Will be on the right side. North Carolina's situation ‘s s0 confusing that no estimate can be made. It is doubt- ful, with the chances in favor of McKinley, ley. North Dakota is thought safe for McKin- ley by a small plurality. Onio will give her .son a large plurality without doubt. Oregon is looked upon as safe for sound money. Pennsylvania will lead the republican col- umn by 2 plurality which may reach 9), Rhode Island will be nearly vnanimous for McKinley. South Carolina is one of the sure Bryan states. South Dakota is considered out cf the doubtful column end as certain for Mc- Kinley. Tennessee is claimed for McKinley by the Jocal sound money newspapers, but it is best to put it down as in doubt. Texas is in confusion, but it is better to count it for Bryan. Utah's mining interest carry it for Bryan. Vermont's September republican plurality will be duplicated. Virginia's election laws leave its electoral vote in a balanced condition. Washington cannot be classed otherwise than as doubtful on account of meager ad- vices. West Virginia’s interests ought to make it sure for McKinley Wisconsin will undoubtedly go the same will probably Wyoming’s situation is not very definitely known, but it is believed safe for a small republican plurality. The Life Insurance Poll. During the last week returns were made to President John A. McCall of the New York Life Insurance Company by corr: spondents of that company, which indic: that McKinley and Hobart will carry twen- ty-four states, with 266 electoral votes. The following table gives a summary of 41,301 estimates, indicating the opinions of Mr. McCall's correspordents in regard to the states in which they are located: State.

Misunderstanding of Orders Leads to a Col _ Shortly before 10 o'clock yesterday morn- ing two passenger trains on the St. Louis and San Francisco railroad were in colli- sion nearly opposite Windsor Station, about thirteen miles from St. Louis. Eight per- sons were instantly killed and twenty-one were injured, three of whom will probably die. The killed were all from St. Louis. Their names are: Adolph Hohl, engineman; Chas. Mocbine, Conrad Kuntz, C. C. Blevins, H. Thall, Barney McKenna, Maud McKenna, aged fourteen years, daughter of Barney McKenna; John Cartwright. The collision occurred between the second section of an excursion train bound west and the ’Frisco Valley Park accommoda- tion, east-bound. The excursion train was the second sec- tion of a special bound for St. James, Mo., 100 miles west of St. Louis, where the Missouri Home for Aged Veterans was dedicated yesterday under the auspices of the Grand Army of the Republic and the ‘Woman's Relief Corps. The first section had gone through safely, and the second, which consisted of eleven coaches hea laden with Grand Army men, their wives and children, left St. Louis about 9 o'clock. According to J. D. Dishman, the tele- graph operator and station agent at Spring Park, the second section should have stop- ped at that place. Instead of doing so the gection passed the station and soon after- ward met the accommodation coming down grade at full speed. Engineman Hoh! of the accommodation was not aware that the second section was on the road, and in trying to make the switch at Kirkwood crashed into the ill-fated train in a cut. a Death of Fireman Maguire. Fireman G. A. Maguire of engine com- pany No. 4 died last night at his home, No. 509 10th street southeast. He leaves a wife and one child. Deceased was a member of the department for twelve years. His fu- neral will take place Wednesday afternoon from the Independent Methodist Church, on 1ith street southeast.
