THE QUEBEC EXPLOSION.
The Damage Greater Than at Fist Reported
Plentiful Crop Of RumOrs

QUEBEC Oct 12.-The troops placed around
the Parliament building last night were with
drawn this morning, and a strong guard of po-
lice established No person was allowed to ap
proach the building or pass in close proximity
during the night, and to-day a vigorous
watch kept The excitement is
unabated and upwards of 40 900 persons
visited the scene to-day. All sorts
of rumOrs are in circulation to-day. 1t is re-
called that four strangers. who have lately been
employed the building as workmen, had
acted in most suspicious manner One of
them always remained behind in turn while the
other three went to dinner. A prominent civil
service employe says he overheard part
of a conversation carried on in the
building between three or four men, who
stated they would soon have their grievances set
to right There is no end to the rumors The
chief of police, Colonel Vohl. tonight SAYS they
discovered nothing yesterday, but thought they
had positive clew to the perpetrators Upon
inspection, to-day, it was found that the hole
made by the first explosion was much larger
than reported yesterday. The damage done by
the second explosion is less conspicuous, but
the cost of setting the building to rights will in
volve more money. 1t is now thought that the en-
tire wall will have to be taken down on the north
eastern portion of the house, involving a cost of
$25 900. Contractor Charlebois will add another
81, 900 reward to that already offered by the
government for Information or the arrest of the
parties implicated The building will not be
completed in time to permit the government to
hold session in it this year.

RumOr that China Has Submitted PrOpo-
sitiOn Looking to a Settlement.
LONDON, Oct l2.-The Paris correspondent of
the Daily Telegraph believes that China, one
week ago, made the following proposition to
Premier Ferry, through the American govern
ment; The Chinese forces to withdraw from
Tonqun; Kelung TO be temporarily occupied by
the French; the conclusion of six months
armistice, the dispute being meanwhile settled
by the arbitration of America. The correspond
ent adds that NJ Ferry objected to the last sug-
gestion, asking why China could not make the
proposition direct to him
A Berlin dispatch says; "A note is published
evidently from the Chinese legation, repelling
the French charges regarding the Tien-Tsin

to conceal the fact that Admiral
Lespes failed before Tamsui. He was
unable to break the line of torpedoes or disperse
the Chinese forces guarding the outposts. This

WASHINGTON, Oct II. Democratic and indie
pendent newspapers have again and again
printed statements charging that President Ar

either lukewarm in supporting the Republican
national ticket or entirely Indifferent whether or
not it succeeded in November. 1t can be stated
on the best authority that, so far as President
Arthur is concerned, this is exactly contrary to
the ruth. A prominent gentleman, who con
versed with the President within the past two
days, found him deeply interested in Republican
success this year. in full accord with his party,
and earnestly desirous of seeing full and salts

1t can be stated, also there is no lukewarm-
ness SO far as the Cabinet is concerned Secre-
tary Teller has already entered the campaign in
Colorado and will make speeches for Blaine and

Ter will do likewise in New Hampshire, and
Secretary Lincoln is about leaving the city for

The Uncertain OnantIty.

CLEVELAND, Oct. l2-The Herald prints, in
tabular form, the estimated majorities Repub-
lican and Democratic, in every county of the
State except Hamilton On that it has been
impossible to obtain anything like a reliable
estimate, even from those usually the best in
formed. The other figures have been furnished
by the chairman of the Republican county com
mittee, in the majority of cases, the remainder
being made up from the reports of eight regular
correspondents. The uncertain quantity in the
estimates is the effect of the Prohibition vote.
In some counties allowance has been made for
a considerable increase in that vote over last
year, whilst in others the vote is placed at about
last years figures or even less 1t is noticeable
that the latter is the case in the estimates for
what have been called Democratic Prohibition
localities. "1he increase in the Prohibition
vote if there should be any, will all come out of
the Republican party" says the Herald, "and
we do not think it wisdom to shut our eyes to
that fact Omitting Hamilton county, the tab
ulated returns show probable majority for the
head of the Republican ticket over the chief can
didate of the Democrats of about 10000 This
may be reduced by unlocked for defections to
the Prohibition ticket, and by Demo
cratic frauds, for which extensive
preparations have been made. 1t is not
easy to say what two days work of the peculiar
are now engaged may do. On the other hand,
there are indications that the Republicans are
gaining largely among the legitimate voters If
the Republicans turn out with energy and de-
termination-and there is now every sign of
their doing so-the Republican majority over
the Democratic candidate for Secretary of State
will not be less than 10000 and it is not unlike

expectation of an aliane with Russia against
