tive Committee.
There was considerable discussion Of proposition to
establish derenl fares between the present terminal
points and intermediate places and also between inter-
mediate points 1t urged in objection to action at the
present time that the intermediate points where differ
ena may be necessary had not been agreed upon
1t was also argued that the additional rates could not be
established until the satisfactory working of the present
dierental fares between terminal points had been at
tested by experience the new dferential fares
would necessarily be based upon the differences already
in operation. Finally 1t agreed TO make this sub
feet one OF the special orders Of business at the next
meeting. The statements Of September business under

CAUSES OF THE DEFEAT.

WASHINGTON, Oct 12.-Speaker Kelfer has ar
rived here and is very jubillnt that he has been
saved as a brand from the burning. He attributes
the defeat in Ohio to two causes-general apathy
and the liquor question: The De .ocrats won the
victory not by any increase in their own vote but
by the act of the Republican stay-at-homes. In his
own district, Mr. Kefer says, the dsaffection was
so great that there was dimnutiOn of 1000 in the
Republican vote. He thinks the Republican Legis-
lature and some of the Republican leaders made a
radical mistake IN taking the position they did on
the liquor question, ana sides with Senator Sher-
man ils Opposed To Governor Foster and Richard
Smith on this question. Mr. Keller had nothing 20
say to the probability OF his reelection as Speaker
in The XLVIIltn Congress
