The New York Times also published a forecast of the probable political complex- fon of the House, but arrived at a differ- ent conclusion. The Times claimed the as- sured election of 184 republicans, 63 demo- crats and 6 populists, while it classed 71 districts as doubtful. The Times’ doubtful list included 14 districts of Missouri, 11 in Pennsylvania, 6 in Tennessee, 8 in Indiana and the remainder in scattering states. The Philadelphia Press yesterday pub- lished a statement claiming the election of 224 republican Congressmen. ———_—_-+e-+___ BOTH ATTENDED CHURCH. Quiet Day Spent by the Presidential Candidates. Yesterday the opening of the last week of the campaign, found Major McKin- ley, to all outward appearances at least, equal to as hard work as he has exper- fenced at any time during the campaign. He was up end around early in the morn- ing, and in company with his brother, Ab- ner, of New York, attended services. The week's program at Canten, Ohio, opens with six delegations for Monday, fifteen for the succeeding days of the week and a large number of others only partially ar- ranged. It was a day of quiet and rest that Wil- liam J. Bryan spent yesterday at Jackson- ville, Il, where for six years he Prepared himself for his after life. In the morning he attended services at State Street Pres- byterlan Church. Many of the citizens of Jacksonville waited for over an hour in crder to get a glimpse at the former citi- zen. When he did arrive there was a gen- eral craning of necks, and one of the ad- mirers of his opponent cheered for Mc- Kinley. Mr. Bryan spent the day at the home of Dr. Hiram K. Jones, where he lived @uring his residence in Jacksonville. There were few callers, but outside the house a large crowd gathered a7 stared at the few visitors who were admitted to grasp the hand and exchange compliments of the day with the candidate. MONEY AND PRICES. What is Snid of the Consular Report at Democratic Headquarters. The special consular report on the sub- ject of money and prices in foreign coun- tries now being distributed by the State Department is proving to be a thorn in the flesh of the democratic congressional committee. Speaking of this publication teday, Gen. Walker said: = “This report was gotten out just before the election for the purpose of showing that prices of labor in gold countries are greater than ia sfiver countries. “While the book will doubtless be made use of by the republicans for the purpose of strengthening the gold standard, it can be readily answered by showing that the conditions in other respects of these two classes of countries are such that no com- parison of wages prevailing in them can be made.” ———-e-______ Az Epworth Program. The literary department of the Epworth League of the Metropolitan M. E. Church, corner 4% and C streets northwest, has planned for a series of “evenings with em- inent Americans.” Tuesday evening will be an evening with Washington Irving. Fit- teen minutes will be devoted to a short re- view of current events. Following th's there will be papers on the Hfe, works and contemporaries of Irving, readings from his works and music. Meetings will be held every other Tuesday evening during the winter in the lecture room ‘of the church at 8 o'clock. ee BATTING AVERAGES Official Figures Compiled by President Young.

The first of the interclass foot ball games at Georgetown University took place yes- terday afternoon on the campus between the teams of the class of '97 and the class of 1900, or ‘00 as the ‘varsity boys term them. It was a prettily played game, and the result was a surprise to all. It was expected that the freshmen would beat the sophomores badly, not even permitting them to score, and when the “sophs” won all of the students ‘vere glad, with the ex- ception of the freshman class, and their spirits were down low. In the first half of the game McIntyre and Murren of the freshmen succeeded in making 9p touchdown each, though no goal. was kicked in either instance. The sophomores managed to get a touchdown in the first half, R. Walsh carrying the ball through; no goal was made. In their half of the second the. freshm2n played a defensive game. The “sophs” gave a snap- py exhibition, and at ro time was the ball in this half on their fifteen yard line. The freshmen seemed to delight in trying to rush the center, while the class of '#) team varied this style by playing around the ends. T. Cullen made the only touch- down of this haif. He secured the ball from McColgan, while the freshmen had the ball, and after a run of about thirty yards made a touchdown. Though there Was some objection the score was allowed. The game was witnessed by about 500 The line up and score. Position. people: Class of ‘99. Class of 1900.

The game will be called at 3 o'clock, and as no admission is charged a large crowd of spectators is expected. In the forenoon yesterday the All-Preps played against the Scrubs, the latter team being composed of most of the members of the team of the class of 98. The Scrubs were the better team and won by a score of 8 to 0. ENDED IN A TIE. The Columbias and the Fort Monroe Officers Have a Sharp Game, The foot ball team of the Columbia Ath- letic Club played the first game of the-sea- son Saturday afternoon at Columbia Field with the eleven picked from the officers at ort Monroe, who, with their rooters and friends arrived in town by boat the morn- ‘Ang of tne day of the game. There was a good crowd on hand to witness the game, including many fair enthusiasts. -Two each side making two touchdowns and a goal.

Hooker and Sims each made a touchdown, Walsh sending the pigskin between the posts, Though no touc! ms were made in the second half, the p! Ing_was of splendid order. Walsh was succeeded by Humphrey at left end, and took Saunders’ place as right guard. The Fortress Monroe eleven made repeated gains through the center. The last few minutes of the game were highly exciting. The visitors had forced the ball to within a few feet of the C. A. C. line, and it looked very much as though another touchdown wouid.be made. Good work by “Tubby” Dickinson and Capt. Sims prevented this, and the ball was car- ried out in the field." Time was called with- out either side scoring. Mr. Shields of the Cc. A. C. umpired the game, while Dr. King acted as referee. Dick Beall of the C. A. C. officiated as linesman. Considering the short ‘time which they kad been practicing ‘and the ‘fact that the game was their first this season, the Co- lumbia Athletic Club members are well satisfied with the showing made by their team, and prove that when the C.A-C. boys are finally organized they wift work hard to play winning games. Tomorrow they Play a practice game with the Central High School. Thursday they leave for Old Point Comfort, playing the Hampton Athletic Club Friday. Saturday a return game will be played with the army boys at Fort Monroe, and as the C. A. C. boys will be well practiced in team work, which was lacking in Saturday’s game, they feel confident cf winning this return game. Quite a crowd of Tooters from the Colum- bia Club will go along. Much credit is due Acting Manager Louis Korn of the C. A..C., who arranged for these games. He is quite active in book- ing games for the season and is now mak- ing arrangements for a game on Tuesday, November 3 (election day), with Gallaudet. Negotiations are also under way for a game with the Indians from Carlisle School, who made such a good showing Saturday against Yale. This will be a big event for the local team if it transpires.

Two Misfortanes Befell School Boys, The Ceentral High School team went to Alexandria Saturday afternoon to play the team of the Episcopal High School of that place, and were not only defcated, but were arrested for uttering their class yell after the game. The score was 8 to 12, each side making two touchdowns, the Episcopal boys being fortunate to kick two goals, while the local boys were unable to do this. The local boys were outweighted, but put up a good game, a fumble in the first half losing them on an opportunity to score. The Alexandrians made the only touchdown in the first half and kicked goal, while in the second half the local boys made two touch- downs, but no goals, while the E. H. 8. team made another touchdown and goal. While on their way to the ferry boat the Central boys were giving their class yell with a vim, and at the wharf, while waiting for the boat, were all placed under arrest. When Mayor Thompson heard of the mat- ter he ordered their release. The boys, however, missed the boat, and were com- pelled to return to the city on the electric cars. the High = e THE CLOSING RACE MEET. — Cycling for Records at the Athletic Park. The closing race meet at the Interna- tional Athletic Park Saturday afternoon was witnessed by only a few hundred spectators. While the rain of the previous night had little effect on the track, the stiff wind coming almost from the west had a chilling effect on the spectators and @ more disastrous effect on the riders, pre- venting anything like fast time in the records. All things considered, how+ver, while the time of the open races was com- paratively slow, the showing in the ck records was very good. The competftion for the track records in some instances was very brisk, and until broken will re- main as the records for the balance of the year at least. There was only one spill at the meet, ; Otis H. Miller failing on the third turn of the third lap, fort tely not injuring him- self badly. The mfje open was run in two heats, and in the ffhal *Mudd finished first, Throop. second, Schade third and Bali fourth. Schade claimed that he was fouled on the third and fourth turns, and the referee, after hearing the umpires, dis- qualified Mudd. This did not give general satisfaction, and better results could have been obtained if the race had been run over again. By some it was claimed that Throop did the fouling. In this race the chain of Clum’s wheel came off, but did not throw him, and he coasted all the way in from the end of the backstretch.

Interest in the Bicycle Races to Take Place Saturday. All the details of the bicycle meet to be held Saturday afternoon at Columbia Field, corner of 17th and C streets northwest, for the benefft of the Eugene Field monument fund, have been arranged, and the only thing connected with the enterprise which is in doubt, is the weather. A good attend- ance is assured-already, as a number of tickets have been disposed of, although the sale has been open but a few days. There are a number of places in the city where the tickets are on sale, and the prices both to the grand stand and for admission are at popular rates. The entries, which are in charge of Mr. Sam Stinemetz of the Columbia Athletic Club, have been pretty well made up, and thera is every prospect of some very good sport when Saturday arrives. The prizes have attracted a number of the local cracks, and the list of events, as made up, assures a number of interesting competi- tions. The prizes will be placed on exhibi- tion tomorrow. ——__ SIGNIFICANT STRAWS. The Political Wind Veering to Re- publicaniam in ‘Tennessee. Correspondence of The Evening Star. MEMPHIS, Tenn., October 22, 1896. Although nearly all forecasts place Ten- nessec in the Bryan column, it is more and more evident that the state is in doubt, and the republicans have un even chance to carry It. Indeed, in this city even money has been offered by democrats that the state will go republican. The republicans, themseives are confident that they will elect their governor and that McKinley will have the electoral vgte of the state. The only persons who are confident that Tennessee will go democratic this year are the free silver men, whose confidence in the triumph of their idea under any and all circumstances never wanes. As election day approaches two things are made apparent. The first is that there is no perceptible change of republicans to the Bryan side. The second is that the populist factor in the election cannot be ac- curately estimated. Everything points to an exceptionally large republican vote in east Tennessee, which is the stronghold of that party; and even those republicans who believe in free silver will vote for Mc- Kinley. Up in the mountains the peoplé are peculiarly tenacious in their beliefs, and once a republican always a republican seems to be the rule. Shrewd observers say that the situation {s in the hands of the populists. All over- tures between the pops and the demo- crats have come to grief, and the teaders of the two parties who have conducted the negotiations seem to have been more ih- tent on slapping each other in the face, as it were, than on coming to a harmonious adjustment. Some of the populists, how- ever, are inclined to regard themselves now as rebaptized democrats, but it is not €asy to estimate how large a percentage can be placed in this category. As elec- tion appreaches it !ooks more and more as If the populists would “solid show” it. Their strength being between 20,000 and 30,000 they can, if they keep together, swing the state to suit themselves. So far the democrats have been willing to concede to them nothing bur empty hon- ors, whereas the republicans* have offered them substantial food. The chances are that the populist party vote, therefore, will be cast solidly tor the populist electors and the populist candidate ror governor. The Star correspondent has during the last few days picked up a number of straws which may be regarded as an index to the trend of political thought here- abouts. When it is remembered that west Tennessee is ordinarily the democratic stronghold of the state the significance of these facts may be estimated. Party ties have literally been cast to the winds, and men who have always been known as intense partisans are declaring ¢epenly and without caring who knows it that they are going to vote against tacir party. For instance, a well-known lawyer whose offices are in the Equitable building sai today: “I am a free silver man, and going to vote for Bryan for Pr man for governor and Patte: gress. Isn't that 2 combination for you? But this is the year for queer voting. I suppose there are at least a hundred dem- ocrats in this building, and I will venture to say that not more than ten of them are going to vote for Bryan and 30> ‘Taylor. I estimate that at least 2,000 democrais in Memphis will vote for McKinley and Till- man. TI understand that fully as many in Nashville will do likewise, and that Chattancoga and Knoxville combined will give a similar democratic vote to the re- publican ticket. There are several hun- dred towns in Tennessge, in each of which there are a few dozen of Jews and Ger- mans, who are almost to a man opposed to free coinage. Usually they are democrats, but they will not vote the democratic ticket this time. I do not see how it is possible to overcome this vote with accessions from the populists.”* ar tjis kind of ialk all over the streets, but the workinginen are in- clined toward free silver. The motormen and conductors on the electric systems are- almost solid for silver, but most of them will vote for Josiah Patterson for Con- gress. The formation of sound money clubs is also’a straw showing which way the wind is blowing. The club in this district now has a membership between five and six thousand. Nashville has a similar or- ganization with a membership numbering Several thousand, and there are clubs of] considerable membership in Clarksville, Jackson, Bristol, Knoxville, Chattanooga and other. places.

DR. TEMPLE SELECTED. The Bishop of London Appointed Archbishop of Canterbury. The Rigit Rev. Frederick Temple, bishop of London, has been appointed archbishop of Canterbury and primate of all England in succession of the late Most Rev. Edward White Benson. The Right Rev. Frederick Temple, D.D., bishop of London, is the son of an officer in the army. He was born November 30, 1821, was educated at the Grammar School at Tiverton and proceeding to Oxford be- came scholar of Balliol College and took his degree of B. A. in 1842. He was elected fellow and mathematical tutor of his col- lege, and having been ordained in 1846 was appointed principal of the training college at Kneller Hall, near Twickenham, in 1848. This post he resigned in 1855, and having held an inbpectorship of schools during the interval was appointed, on the resig- nation of Dr. Coulburn, in 1858, head mas- ter of Rugby School. Dr. Temple, who was chaplain to the queen, gained some notoriety in 1860 as the author of the first of the seven “Essays and Reviews,” which caused so much con- troversy soon after their appearance. At the general election of 1868 Dr. Temple took an active part in Warwickshire in sup- port of Mr. Gladstone's measure for the disestablishment of the Irish church, and the premier nominated him to the bishopric of Exeter, in succession to the late Dr. Philpotts, an appointment which caused considerable commotion in clerical circles. The confirmation of Dr. Temple's election took place December 8, 1869, at the Church of St. Mary-le-Bow, Cheapside, when Bishop Trower, as a representative of a portion of the clergy who were opposed to Dr. Temple because he was the author of one of the “Essays and Reviews,” in- structed counsel to oppose the election. Counsel was accordingly heard on both sides, and Dr. Temple’s election was con- firmed by the vicar general. Dr. Temple received Episcopal consecra- tion at Westmirster December 21, 1869,to- gether with the bishops-elect of Bath and Wells and of the Falkland Islands. Dr. Temple published “Sermons Preached at, Rugby Chapel in 1858-60” in 1861. In April, 1863, he was elected Bampton lecturer at Oxford for the ensuing year. On the death of Dr. Jackson, in January, 1885, Dr. Tem- ple was appointed bishop of London, and pene oener at Exeter by Dr. Bicker. stetl a.W. B at ; And ‘ches; NaT.RUB!
