The Ti- lul_expedition was absolutely unopposed. Ithough the town is. pcsitively known to be a Boxer hotbed. The Peitang forts vielded practically without resistance. A recent cavalry reconnoissance beyond Ti- lul toward Fengshang had a similar re- sult. Lieutenant Jansen, with a detach- ment of the Sixteentn Bengal Lancers, was sent out to feel the region and re- port to the strength of the town to be attacked. He approached the bridge with @ couple of men, leaving the main force concealed in a millet Seld, which grew to the walls of the town.

These recent events are construed as indicating that LI Hung Chang's edict is obeyed and with passive sub: i{ssion to invasion little can be accomplished, in the opinfon of military men, by further expeditions, unless ail the villages are ‘deatmred.

BOISE, Idaho, Nov. 5.—The night before the battle of the ballots finds the parties lined up, both manifesting great confl dence.

Never have the plans of campalgn managers in this State been more com- s figures of four | | prehensive or laid with greater care, and no Presidential mpaign since that of Blaine and Cleveland in 1834 has been | fought out with greater energy in this State than the one that has just closed. Both Democratic and Repubiican man- | agers have made every preparation against unlawful action at the polls by their opponents, but there has been less talk of such things this year than in prior campaigns. The chances are that there will be no more fi idulent voting than occurs at every city election A very full vote will be polled in the State at large and especially in Chicago and Cook County. The fight here has been of the warmest description and every ef- | fort will be made to bring the full voting | strength of both parties into the field. The Republicans in_ particular are elated at the prospect of filne weather to-morrow and saw it means their sure success. The Democratic managers declare that weath- er will make no difference and that, rain or shine, the election is certain to result in a sweeping Democratic triumph. | STRUGGLE IN MARYLAND.

Before leaving for his home in Hartford County. to-night, Chalrman Murray Van diver of the Democratic State Central Committee, said: “‘I have no hesitancy in claiming that we will carry the from 5000 to 10,000 majority and that both city and county will contribute to that end.

IN MASSACHUSETTS. BOSTON, Nov. 5.—Although the major- ity of the voters in Massachusetts will cast their ballots to-morrow in favor of McKinley, the size of this majority and how many Republican Congressmen wiil be elected is a matter upon which the party leaders fall to agree. T} licans are confident that McKinley will at least 100,000 votes more than van, while the Democrats believe that 50,000 will be nearer the mark. Republicans carried the State by 175,000 plurality, but dissensions in the Democratic ranks cut a wide swath in the ordinary party vote. s v this disaffection has almost entire It is believed that Governor of the national western part of publican State Crane will run ahead ticket, especlally in the the State. As usual, the I candidates will be elected, ception, perhaps, of Auditor, as there is a strong sentiment, esy 1y among the Grand Army veterans, against Henry E. Turner of Malden, who defeated the in- cumbent, John W. Kimball of Fitchburg, in the convention. It will not be surprising, therefore, if Willlam G. Merrill, the Prohibitionist candidate for the office, is elected. As for the Congressmen, nine Republi- cans and one Democrat are sure of elec- tion, while in two other districts indica- tions favor the Republicans. _Very little change is expected in the Legislature, which has been always strongly Republi- can. IN NEW YORK. NEW YORK, Nov. 5.—The_most inter- esting development in New York on the eve of election s the indictment found by the local Grand Jury against Chief of Police Willlam S. Devery, on the charge of interfering with the work of Superin- tendent of gtate Elections McCuliagh. Chief Devery's bail was fixed and ar- rangements were made for hearing the case the day after election. The indlct- ment has created a great deal of excite- ment in political circles.

The legal aspects of the case are interesting to Re- | feared that a clash may occur at the polls to-morrow between the 300 police- men and the 800 deputies. At the politi- cal headquarters, at the office of the Chief of Police and at the Democratic Club, the consensus of opinion seemed to be that the election would prove a quiet one despite the differences of opinion be- tween the Chief of Police and the State Superintendent. Everywhere ~ confidence 1is expressed that a’full vote will be poiled and Repub- licans and Democrats alike agree that more than 600,000 citizens in Greater New York will vote to-morrow. Indications are that the vote in the city will be at least 65,000 larger than ever be- fore in the history of Greater New York. Generally speaking, the Republicans concede that Bryan will carry Greater On the other hand Democrats McKinley will carry the State New York is excluded. The differences of opinifon arise on the ques- tion of the pluralities that the Democrats are conceded in the metropolls and_ the Republicans are conceded in the up-State districts. Richard Croker claims that B: n will carry Greater New York by between 80,- 000 and 90,000 As a general thing, Republican leaders will not admit that the borough of Man- hattan will be carried for Bryan by more than 30.000 plurality. Both sides claim the borough of Brooklyn, the Republicans by 12,000, the Democrats by ). The_popu- lation In the borough f the Bronx, relatively small. Democrats and Republicans claim all three boroughs, but the Democrats usual- ly carry Queens and Richmond. As for the Bronx, the increase in population ow- ing to the up-town movement has been so great that all estimates are worthless, the population in some districts having dou- f It will probably give a decisive ma- either way. Democrats are inclined to concede the State outside of Greater New York to Mc- inley by 50,000. This is 100,000 less than the Republicans allow McKinley in the o territory. Chairman Odell, Repub- andidate for Governor, is at his in Newburg. He will receive re- turrs at his home and will not return here Before leaving he sald that he had nothing to add to his state- ment that McKinley would carry New York State by 100,000, Greater New York done to- included. There was very little lwmng night on the election. The odds dropped to 3% to 1 on McKinley toward the latter part of the evening and remained there. DELAWARE FOR McKINLEY. WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. 5.—The out- look to-night is that the Republicans will carry Delaware for McKinley and the State ticket by a majority of about 1500. Republican State Chairman Churchman claims the State by 2000 majority. The Legislature, which will elect two United States Senators, is in doubt, however, both parties claiming it. Democratic_State Chairman Saulsbury claims that the State will give Bryan the electoral vote, and that -the Legislature will have a Democratic majority. admit that if Greater DEPARTMENT PREDICTS REPUBLICAN WEATHER Light Rains Expected in Northern | States, but Clear Skies Through- out the Country Generally. | WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.—Weather con- | ditions and general forecast: The storm center has moved to Nova Scotla, and the pressure is generally high to-night except in the Atlantic States and Canada.

REFORM DEMANDED IN BERLIN POLICE FORCE Baron Rheinhaben Issues an Order for a Sharp Investigation Without Favor, BERLIN, Nov. 5—The highly unsatis- factory condition of the Berlin police force as laid bare by the sensational evidence in the second trial of Sternberg, the rich Berlin banker, accused of an offense against morality, and the peculiar manner in which the case itself was prepared and has been handled, are the talk of the whole city. In view of the clear signs of corruption and lack of discipline brought out by the proceedings, it was resolved Bulow, the Imperial Chancellor, and Baron von Rheinhaben, Prussian Minister of the Interior, to overhaul the Berlin po- lice department. Immediately after the conference Baron Rheinhaben ordered a sharp investigation, without fear or favor. It s expected that a large number of the criminal police will be disciplined and that about a score will be dismissed, among them the chief of the criminal police, Von Meerscheidt Huellessem, who was strongly compro- mised by the trial. Altogether no fewer than seventy mem- bers of the criminal police are said to be implicated in the Sternberg case. The press, without distinction of party. sternly demands thorough reforms. In addition to the two Commissioners against swhom damaging evidence has been offered, it is rumored that a number of others are i volved. To-day Emperor Willlam requested that he be furnished with running reports daily of the trial and of the part played In ft by the police. QUEEN OF PORTUGAL RESCUES BOAM Plunges Into the Water and Keeps Him Afloat Until Help Comes. NEW YORK, Nov. 5.—A dispatch to the Journal from Lisbon, says: The Queen of Portugal at Cascals, a fashionable resort, made a thrilling rescue. She has been suylnmt the palace of Cascals and was on the beach watching her boatman bring- ing his boat Into shore. Suddenly a huge Wave overturned the boat. Crooms, the boatman, was overcome by the undertow which carried him beneath the waves. The Queen is an expert swimmer. See- ing that her boatman was drowning, she sprang into the sea before any of her at- tendants could prevent her. With rapjd strokes she swam to the boatman’s side and held him up until persons put out in boats and rescued both the Queen and her boatman. Croom was taken to the royal palace. publicans and Democrats alike, for it is | to-day at a conference between Count von | HANNA ADDRESSES CHICAGO WORKINGMEN Compares the Attitude of Bryan and McKinley Toward the Toil- ing Masses in Past Years. e e HICAGO, Nov. 5.—Senator Hanna | made his last speech of the cam- paign at noon to-day, addressing several thousand rallway em- ployes and steel workers at South Chicago. When the Illinols Central special bearing the Senator and party ar- rived the whistles of all the big mills were blown and large crowds gathered at the depot to extend a welcome. Accom- panying Mr. Hanna was Richard Yates, the Republican candidate for Governor of Illinots. In his speech Senator Hanna sald: My friends, save vour enthuslasm for to-morrow night, for then you will have plenty of opportunity to give it full play. (Applause.) We are on the eve of one of the greatest elections and one of the most important elections that has ever beenm | held in the United States. It is second to none for the effect it will have on the masses who toil for their living. and it is second to none for its effect upon those who care for and uphold the principles of sound money and a protec- tive tariff. I come to you as a business man who has been engaged all his life in the kind of work that has built up this | part of Chicago. To-morrow it will be in your power to decide this great ques- tion of whether we are to continue pros- perous or to suffer a calamitous reverse. I believe you will stand by the Republi- can party and stand by the great leader of that party, President McKinley, who has stood by you. (Applause.) “Let me present a picture. On one side you have a man whose only part in Con- gress during his short term there was to tear down what McKinley had been four years building up—the McKinley bill-and what was it he gave you? The Wilson- Gorman bill that put out the fires in your furnaces: that checked Industries and | brought about a condition that God forbid we may ever see again. (Applause.) And now Bryvan is asking you to elect him President of the United States, and he cares not what means he uses to get the required number of votes. He tells you that If elected he will establish a free silver basis and a system of free tra and we know he will ignore all economic principles. Making such frantic appeals, he reduces himself to the rank of the low- est demagogue. Now turn with mL to where Willlam McKinley shouldered his musket in de- fense of his country and follow him through a four years’ war and then see him enter Congress, elected them, as he always has been, by the workingmen He has always stood with them and by them, and has always been ready to hear them and do for them. In 1596, when the workingmen had opportunity to vote for him, they made him President, and there they will keep him another four years. (Applause and cries of “We will.™) “Now what has Bryan stood for? What has he done for the working people? (A volce, “Nothing.") Yes, he has. He has done all in his power to defeat their in- terest. He helped to kill the McKinley bill. He has been at a loss t sue that would last over night to create one by working for and voting for the ratification of the treaty with Spain, When he worked to get Democratie Congressman to vote for th Bryan honest? (A voice, “N no. He raises the cry of imperialism, that is an insult to the American people. Congress settled that question, and it was for the President to put down rebellion when the American flag was assailed Now, T want to assure you that Wil- llam McKinley will be re-elected by the largest plurality that was ever given to a President of the United States. I am sorry I cannot talk longer, but you look out like men who know how to vote w advice, and right, too.” AGAINST VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN INSURGENTS MacArthur Instructed to Mass His Forces and Break Up . Organized Resistance. Special Dispatch to The Call ALL BUREAU, WELLINGTON | HOTEL, WASHINGTON, Nov. | 5.—Secretary Root found it nec essary some days ago to lssue special instructlons to Major General MacArthur, Governor General of the Philippines, regarding the conduct of | the campaign in Luzon. These instruc- | tions were due to dissatisfaction caused by the successful operation of the Fili- pinos against the American forces. Gen- eral MacArthur's policy was to scatter | the troops over a wide range of territory, | carryifg out in this way the polley initiated by General Otis. The Filipinos assembled in sufficiently large numbers to make vigorous assaults upon the Amer- fcan garrisons and for some weeks there were numerous engagements, in which the Americans failed to gain an advan- tage, and in some instances were lurcedi to retreat and suffered distinct reverses. | The War Department is understood to have directed General MacArthur to take | measures to prevent further successful operations by collecting his troops in suf- | ficient force to destroy any bands with | which they might come in conflict. No fmportant insurgent operations have oc- | curred for some days and it is belleved | the execution of the department’s instruc- | tions is responsible for this satisfactory | condition. General MacArthur's friends | say he is handicapped by the absence of troops in China, but information reached the War Department to-dxy that the Fourteenth Infantry had left Taku on Saturday for Manila. Other wnogiments will follow and General MacArthur will have about 70,000 men with whom to in- augurate the campaign against the in- surgents. The withdrawal of volunteers will commence next month if McKinley be re-elected or this month in case Bryan 1s successful. Adjutant General Corbin received to-day from Judge Taft, president of the Philip- pine Commission, a dispatch forwarding the message from Senor Buencamino, for- merly Secretary of Foreign Affal in Aguinaldo’s Cabinet, declaring his loyalty to the United States. The message was telegraphed to the President, who, if he thinks proper, will make it public. It is understood that Senor Buencamino un- reservedly accepts American sovereignty and submits a proposition to organize a force of Filipinos to make war upon the supporters of his former chief. e oo Accused of Stealing a Code.
