THE days lead me to belleve that McKinley will carry the state of Californla by at least 15,000 and that the republicans will elect all seven of thelr congressional nom- fnees. For a time I thought that 12,000 would ba the limit of the republican plu- rality, but I now think that 15,000 is a conservative estimate.” State Sanator Sims, chairman of the demo- eratic state central committee, sald: “‘From reports 1 have recelved from all sections of California [ am of the opinion that the state Is gate-for Bryan by 12,000. The democrats will positively elect four congressmen. You tan quote me as estimating the democratic plurality in this state as from 12,000 to Both these estimates are probably exag- gerated. Conservative estimates say the state will not go to exceed 5,000 for either party. As regards congressmen the indica- tions are that the renublicans will elect st least five. Nonpartisan observers think the tssue doubtful in the Second and Fourth districts, Dors Nor XPECT. TO WIN, Prohibition Party Admite That It in Prepared for Defeat. PEORIA, NI, Nov. 4.—John G. Woolley, prohibition nominee for president, spent the day quictly resting aboard his train in preparation for his last day's work in the campaign.

The democratic party has assumed an e'ectorn’e of galley slaves and preaches mutiny. The republican party has assumed a civic mon- ster, half ho; ?HII' hypoerite, and preach “prastize nbroad and prosperity at home.

Mr. Woolley has spoken In 4¥ places, from ocean to ocean and from M'r nesota (o Texas. The burden of our appe to the people has been the need of right eousness by the state and nation. We hava insfated that the government should go out of partnership with the liquor trafiic and withdraw at once the protectisn of law fr m the saloon. We have endeavored to teach the people that llcense of the ilquor traffic 18 _wron® becaure the saloon WIPNg. We have urged the voters to republican and democratic parties because of their subserviency to the llquor interest, We have attacked those parties becauss of their inability to settle the questiens With reference fo which they have made romises and seemed to take positions. \\‘ Peileve and have declared fhat the time of both o'd an or should ything lower are ripe for the overthrow parties and that no new partv win that makes appeal to an than the highest in men. Hence the populist or any other party that makes its appeal to the pockethook or to mere self-interest cannot win a_last- ing victory.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. 4.—Connecti- cut's day of rest was one of great activity among the political workers of the state. The fact that the campaign virtually closed last night did not deter the leaders from occupying this day with almost incessant work and the political fences in every city, town, borough, village and hamlet were examined with the greatest care and repalrs effected where necessary. Secrecy permeated the air of the national republican headquarters, while the claims of the democrats indicated a growing con- fldence. The democratic state central com- mittee tonight hit up its figures a bit. That {s, they claim to have narrowed the probable margin of & McKinley victory in the state to 5,040, as against 8,000, the outside figure proclaimed then. On the state ticket the claim of a minimum ma- Jority. of 1,500 for Bronson for governor is Talsed to 7,000. ‘The democrats also claim the defeat of Sperry, republican, in the Second congressional ticket by a close vote and in the language of the committee chairman, “Hill, republican candidate for congress il the Fourth district, has no walkover." The democrats also claim that they will elect fifteen out of twenty-four state sen- ators, The republican leaders concede nothing and with much calmness claim a sweeping victory throughout the state on president, state offcers, congress and the general assembly.

LOUIS, Nov. 4.~The political situation in Missourl tonight I8 somewhat changed from that outlined in these dispatches last night. The democrats reiterate their abil- ity to carry the national ticket to victory by from 40,000 to 60,000. The republicans, on the other hand, not only still entertain their heliet that Flory will capture the govern- orship, but ‘go even further than they did yesterday and now predict that Missouri will give McKinley a small majority.

Probably Safe for McKinley, but Dem- ocrats May Control Lexl: WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. 4 week of the campaign in Delaware finds the chairmen of both parties claiming victory for thelr respective sides. The republican factions, known as the Addicks and Dupont wings of the party, which at the last presi- dentlal election were united in thelg. sup- port of the national ticket, are again a unit in their support of the republican electors and, in addition, have on their respective tickets the same candidates for the unex- pired terms of the late Congressman Hocker and also for the regular term. They are united on the same state candidates, but in two of the three counties of the state, Kent and Sussex, they are opposed to each other on the candidates for the legislature. This fact, it s the expressed opinion, glves to the result & most doubtful aspect with the odds, it any, slightly In favor of the republican McKinley electors, and more strongly in favor of the democrats for control of the legislature, which will elect two United States senators. The democrats present united front on all national, state and legis- 1ative candidates, and it may be said at this time that the official count alone can deter- mine the result bevond doubt. MONTANA 1IN Fight s Over Lexl Clark and Daly Seel HELENA, Mont.,, Nov. 4.—There is no reason to doubt that Montana will give its electoral vote to Bryan by a majority rang- ing from 10,000 to 18,000. It may be higher. The state and legisiative situation is more mixed, but conservative observers concede the election of Joseph K. Toole, as governor, with the chances decidedly In favor of the entire democratic ticket. The legislative situation Is more' uncertain than any other part of the ticket. The republican mem- bership In the legislature was less than one- fifth of the entire membership. This year there will be some republican gains in all probabllity and the independent democratic ticket will be successful in one or two large ocuntles, perhaps giving the independents the balance of power in the legislature. The friends of Senator Olark, however, stoutly claim that the stralght democrats will have a clear majority in the legislature. There is but one thing that seems absolutely cer- tain about the legislature and that is that the republicans will not control it on joint ballot. DOUBT AS TO STATE TICKE!

He added: “Wo estimate that with our gains from various sources the democratic vote this year in Massachusetts will rise to the fig- ures of 1892, or about 160,000 votes, and the republican majority will not be greater than 50,000 to 65,000 votes. .

Quay and A Quay R for Legl PHILADELPHIA, Nov tlal campaign in Pennsylvania closed last night with the result in no doubt as to the success of the republican electors, although the democrats confidently claim that they will considerably reduce the McKinley plu- rality of four years ago of mearly 300,000, but the republican leaders assert that It will be as much if not more. With respect to the national ticket the campaign in this state may be said to have been almost fea- tureless ¥ The fight of four years ago in the repub- lican ranks over the control of the legisla- ture, when United States Senator Penrose, then a state senator, and ex-Postmaster General John Wanamaker, were the oppos- ing candidates for United States senator, and which followed two years later by the more bitter opposition to the re-election of Senator Quay, Is again the feature of the campalgn. As to what the result will be only the count can tell HOUSTON, Tex., Nov. 4—The political campaign in Texas closed last night. R. M. Johnston, national democratic commit- teeman for Texas, estimates the majority for the democratic electors at not less than 175,000. Local differences are ex- pected to bring out a falr vote, though cotton plcking will keep many of the voters at home. The fight is in the Tenth | congressional district, where Mayor W. C. | Jones of Galveston is the republican candi- date to succeed R. B. Hawley, republican, and has been stubbornly contested by both sides. The democratic momiuee, George F. Burgess, has made a town-to-town can- vass of the district and the democratic managers are confident of success. The republicans also express confidence and it is generally conceded that the result is in doubt. noOTH SIDES CLAIM MARYLAN Democrats and Republicans Are Each « fnd Victory, BALTIMORE, Nov. 4—The campaign in Maryland was closed last night with mass meetings of both the leading political par- ties in various parts of the city and a general demonstration of republicans at Music hall. Summing up the situation, Chairman Murray Vandiver of the democratic stite central committee sald this evening: “‘Our fight is won and Maryland will cast its electoral vote for the democratic ticket.” Chairman Lee Goldsborough of the re- publican committee, while declining to give out figures, claims that Maryland will elect all six of her congressmen as republicans and be found in the McKinley column when the votes are counted. IS CINCHED FOR WKINLEY. onio Only Question in Buckeye State is the Size of Majorit CINCINNATI, 0., Nov. 4.—The ¢ampaign in Ohlo closed yesterday with day and night meetings everywhere. The republicans have been betting even on carrying Ohlo by a larger plurality than four years ago, when MoKinley had 61,109, but today they were betting on 40,000, Odds as high @s 10 to 1 have been given on McKinley carrying Ohlo. Most of the canvassers expect republican gains in rural districts and democratic gains in fhe cities and most of the speculation is on the probabllity of the changes in the cities exceeding those in the rural districts, or vice vers: REASONABLY CERTAIN FOR BRYAN, Democrats of Georgia Will Have No Opposition of Moment. ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 4.—The only out- ward evidence of the presidential campaign in Georgla was the great amount of space devoted by the newspapers to “‘constitu- tional” work. No speakers of national re- pute came Into the state to discuss the issues and they were touched upon only by the local orators in the campaign for governor. The fact that Georgla's democ- racy is solid probably accounts for the lack of marching clubs and meetings. The republicans and populists took no part in the campaign. Bryan's Cousin in Florida. JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Nov. 4~Tho most remarkable state campaign ever held in Florida closed last night. The demo- cratic state electoral and congressional candidates visited every county and pre- cinct In the state, speaking to an aggregate of over 200,000 people, The republican state and electoral candldates covered most of the state In an active canvass, At the democratic headquarters in this city to- night It {8 said that Bryan will get a plurality of mot less that 20,000 votes iv the state and that his cousin, Willlam .

The republican leaders do mnot expect the landslide of four years ago, but expect the republican ma- Jority to reach 30,000. George K. Hughes of Bath, chairman of the democratic state committee, said to- night: “‘Maine's plurality for McKinley in 1898 of 45,777 will be materially reduced this year. It will be less than 80,000 if thc elo- ments aro favorable for a full vote." RepubMoan Congressman in Arkans LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Nov. 4—The cam- palgn cloged in this state tonight.

DEFEAT OF GARRULOUS LENTZ PROBABLE Prestdent McKinley Will Receive Re- wrns at His Home in Canton, ngton on Wednesday. Nov. 4~On the eve of false CINCINNATI, the election charges are made of | registration in Cincinnati and other Ohio citles. While the last census gave Cin- cinnati a population of 325,000, its regis- tration is 81,880, and a citizen's committee has been organized today for systematic work with detectives, for arrests on Tues- day. 1t is claimed also that colonizations have been made in some of the close con- gressional districts. Ohlo has now fitteen republican and six demberatic congress- men. The republicans are trying hard to gain a congressman in the Third district, where N. F. Byckley, democrat, and R, M. Nevin, republican, are the candidates, and this is one of the districts in which charges of fraud are made on both sides. In the Fitteenth and Twentieth districts the democratic managers are hoping to make gains. In the Fifteenth district Congress- man Van Voorhis, repu 'lean, who 18 run- ning for the fifth term, is opposed by L. .W. Ellenwood, democrat, and the repub- licans have some factional trouble, but the re-election of Van Voorhis s gen- erally conceded. In the Twentieth district, Phillips is an independent andidate against Jacob A, Beidler, repub- lican, who defeated Philllps for renoml. nation, and the democrats therefore hope to elect H. R. Harrington. On account of the active work of Mayor Jones of Toledo there is some talk of Negley D. Cochran, democrat, defeating Congressman Southard, republican, in the Ninth, but the Jones vote is such an uncertain element this year fn Ohio that it is not cutting much of & figure in the estimate. In the Twelfth district Emmett Tomp- kins, republican, is making & hard fight to defeat John J. Lentz, democrat, and on account of the action of'Lentz against the administration In the last congress speclal interest is being taken in this district. Tt is currently reported that National Chalr- man Hanna and State Chairman Dick have pald special attention to the Twelfth dis- trict. While both state committees will receive returns in Columbus on Tuesday night, Canton will also be a point of interest since President McKinley has decided to remain there to receive returns and not start back to Washington until Wednes- day. Four years ago the pllgrimages to Canton made it the center of attraction, as Colonel Bryan was then on the road the same as this year. The president has been |at Canton during much of this campalign, but he refused to do any campalgning even in receiving visiting delegations. It s understood that there may be a dls tinguished party with him on Tuesday night, and 1t he is re-elected the totir on his return to Washington next day will be eventful at Canton as elsewhere.

A Bright as the sunlight that glints across the tops of the snowcapped mountains on which one gazes through its windows, sparkling as blue waters of the lake that laves its foundation stomes, sweet as the perfume of the wild flowers that grow up to its very doors and as healthful as the air that its guests inhale is “‘At the White Horse Tavern,” the charming comedy that the Frohmans have transplanted from fts native soil to that of America. Nothing daintler or prettier has even been seen upon any stage, for there is nothing dain- tier or sweeter extant. In the realm of dramatic literature it stands & gem with- out a flaw, a play agalnst which not a shaft of criticism can with justice be lev- oled. First af all there is a charmingly humorous story told in its bright, snappy )ines; the dialogue is delicious, full of epi- grams tbat shine and sparkle and situa- tions that are unctuously and genuinely funny. The characters are diversified, but the plcture the authors have given of each 1s & gem in its way’and has its counterpart in ghe real life of every country. What, for example, could be finer than the por- trait of the old professor and his daughter, both of whom are so enamored of travellug that they take the slowest tralns, that their pleasure may be prolonged to the utmost limit, but who are able to make but one trip in four years, and even then only by the exercise of a rigld economy that diverts the money that would other- wise be spent for luxuries into a travel fund? And there is the rich manufacturer who thinks of and mourns for the comforts of his city home, oblivious to all charns of lake and mountain and sky, the very antipode of the poor scholar, to whom it is all like a falry world. Then, too, there 18 Madame Josepha, the hostess of the inn, a woman who has allowed her heart to incline toward a city lawyer, who for a number of years has been a guest at her hostelry, but who is yet atrong enough to set her face in another direction aund take up the marrow round of her life as soon as she. percelves her mistake. And there are several others, all worthy of mention, all delicately drawn, and every- one completely and thoroughly satisfactory. Nothing better, it may be repeated, h ever held the boards of the Boyd and the theater-goer who falls to pay it a visit NOVEMBER 1900. is missing one of treats The company presenting the play is sus- ceptible of some improvement, but is, on the who o, adequate. Mr. Frederic Boud is the rich manufacturer with an frascible disposition, who signs the register as Her: Willlam Glesecke of Berlin, and he gives a capital interpretation of the part. Charl Hanford is Frederic Seidler, a lawyer, and 1s quite satisfactory. Fred Summerfield ts Prof. Walter Hintzleman, Ph. D, and he could scarcely have given a more sat- isfactory and intelligent portrayal of the lovable character of the old scholar. Cora Ardell, despite the fact that she has had the part of Josepha, hostess of the White Horse, for but a few days and was evidently under considerable nervous tensiom, was altogether charming in the role. &he reads her lines with fine effect and her work otherwise was thoroughly good. Char- lette Crane was eminently pleasing as Otillie Glesecke and Della Clarke was wholly admirable as the daughter of the professor. The remalning characters ac- quitted themsclves creditably. The plece is beautifully staged, although the same settings are carried through the three acts. The real raln storm with which the first act closes is a striking bit of realism which must be seen to be ap- preclated. The engagement ends Tuesday :uh:. with a speclal matinee on election ay. Orpheum— The most pretentious offering made to the public by the Orpheum management this seaton—five songs by Jessie Bartlett Davis— Opens a program for the week of general merit. Mrs. Davis in vaudeville has the same rare charm which won her favor amid the glitter and dash of Barnaby's following, and her personality is as womanly and at- tractive as ever. The setting of her number was @ triumph of local stage carpentry, none of the accompaniments belng carried by the singer. The scene was an interior, richly furnished and lighted generously with electricity, Mrs. Davis made no claseical selections, the numbers belng “It's Just Because T Love You 8o, “Good Night, Be- loved,” “Rosary” and finally a verse from ‘0, Promise Me." Mrs. Davis' voice is in the full maturity of its power and quality. “To Boston on Business,”” a comedy skit by Charles Wayne and Anna Caldwell, pro- ceeded at a lively pace, both members being possessed of unusual dash and vigor. A sim- flar contribution was glven by Merritt and Murdock, both gifted as to elocution and stage deportment. Henry C.

Ozav and Delmo show skill with their hands In a juggling act and J. W. Win- ton manipulates some lifelike automatons, Trocadero— There is little of merit in the burlesque performance which opened at the Trocadero Sunday afternoon from the standpoint, of healthy theatrical amusement, although as a drawing card Mr. Dinkin's “‘Vagabonds' proved themselves quite magnetic, for at both of the opening day performances the box office man was compelled to sorrowfully turn people away. “The Lady or the Lob- ster” and “From the Tenderloin to Tokio" are the opening and closing musical skits. There is ample opportunity in each for the introduction of specialties, but the specialty artists who essay to do the introducing are hardly capable of reaching even plain medi- ocrity. The vaudeville portion of the program is & diversified one, its most interesting feature being the trapeze performance of the three Nudos. These artists are versatile in their mid-air feats and omplished in gymnastic skill. For the delectation of those who take Interest in nauseating knock-about and drag-out turns Topack and Steele and Mor- rls and Daley reach the limit.

OBJECTS TO CURIOUS FOLKS A ed of Participation rder of Rice, Hides H aelf from Visitors. Valet Jon: in M NEW YORK, Nov. 4.—Many curlous people went to the Bellevue hospital this afternoon in the hope of seeing Charles Jones, valet of the dead millionaire, Rice. The curious walked up to the prison ward where Jones lles behind a big screen, and tried to peer in at him, but he was effectually hidden from view. He objects to visitors and In fear that the screen will not prove effective enough to keep him from sight, he uses a newspaper to hide behind. He has a hole cut in the middle of tl about the size of a silver dollar and pbeked through the hole at those out- #ide the ward, Two young women arrayed in gorgeous apparel as to color, were admitted to the prison ward by passes during the afternoon and inquired for Jomes. Their names could not be learned and Jones was simply told that two women wanted to see him. He did not even Inquire who they were, but sent word that he did not want to see them. They hurriedly went away. Jones read the Sunday papers all day and was In very good spirits and seemingly not depressed at all. It is expected he will be in condition to go back to the Tombs in a day or two. Windup at Plattamouth.

INDEPENDENCE FOR FILIPINOS IMPO:SIBLE Diversit of Race, ge and pm, Together with Ignorance of Sclence of Government, Pre« clude ldea of Nationality. BUFFALO, Y. Nov. 4.~Prof. Jacob Gould Schurman, who passed through this clty this afternoon enroute from the west o Ithaca, handed to the Associated Press the following reply to an open letter ad- dressed to him by Sixto Lofez: Mr. 8ixto Lopez's open .etter of the 3d inst, addressed to me, although I have not yet #een {t except in the newspapers, 18 a gratl- fying proof of the correctness of the report of the Philippine commission. Mr. Lopez by his declarations confirms all I have said oL the promixing educational possibilities in the Philippines and of the admirable char- acter of the educated Filipinos, few though they are, who may be taken as a type and promise of the future. Nor does Mr. Lopez deny that the masses of the bitants of the Philippine fslands of all tribes and races wre uneducated and very Ignorant. Further- more, by silent acquiescence in the report of our commission, Mr. Lopez uckno edges that the majority of the Filiping either desire American Sovereignty, as Is the case with the men of eduoation & Property, or acquiesce in it, or are ir - ent to it, and that the demand for inde- Rendence’ originated with the *ambitlous agalog insurgent leaders who have dif- fused L with firo and sword, aic atrocious misrepresentations of the and purposes of the United States. Lastly, the Filipino does not question t} finding of our commission, that the fr habitants of the Philippine islands & marked by great natural and tribal difte ences, by Immense varieties of social con- ditlons, which range all the way from the civilization of Manila down through all phases of barbarism to the naked savage of Mindanao and northern Luzon, by a be- wildering multiplicity of languages which are mutually uninteilizible, by dense {gno- rance on the part of the masses of the peo- ple, by the absence of unlon and concert and the lack of the fdea and sentiment of natlonality and by the absolute fnexperi- ence of all classes In the affalrs of gove ment which Spain always kept in Spanish hands. And the consequence to be drawn from all this 18 equally 1m|lx|»uluhln. nor does Mr. Lopez seck to dispute it, namely, that the various and diversified peoples of the Phil- ippine Islands at the present time in- capable of belng considered as a nation; they are utterly unfit to accept Soverelgnty over the archipelago, even If the American ople wished to Invest them with it, nor ave they any hope of ever becoming a free and self-governing natlon, excent in the continuance of American soverelgnty over them, and in the peace, prosperity and ever-increasing lberty of self-government which the American flag guarantees (o them. Puil down our flag And you leave the Philippines a prey to internal feuds and d mestic insurrections which would quickly beget anarchy, This would necessitate the intervention of forelgn powers for the | tection of the llves and property of thel subjects. Of course, the islands would eventually be divided up among them and the Fillpinos would exchange the free in- stitutions and home rule which the dmeri- can people desiio us soon as possible and in the lnrgest degree practicable (o beatow upon them for the genuine fmperfalism of old world emperors, kings and czars. It s the mission of our republic to save the Fillpinos, who in general are most prom- ising, estlmable and even lovable peoples, from' the cruel fate and to train them up to the use of free institutions and the noble work of self-government just as quickly and as generously as they or any portion of them can be Induced to exercise a clvic tunction so arduous and &0 unaccustomed.
