How 1T Looks.

The following will show how promi-
nent sporting men regard the coming
election in the state of New York.
NEW YORK, October8.-Dunc0n Ross:
You cannot get even money on Blainein
this state. The odds are 100 to IS that
he carries the state Of New York, and it
is my opinion that he will be u next
President. The triangular fight be-
tween the democratic faction in this
city will certainly lose the state to
Cleveland. At all events it looks SO
now. All the local sporting men are
putting their money on Blaine carrying
New York state.

AT THE POLLS.
The Southern Democratic Policy Already
Arranged-POssibleT Trouble in New
Orleans Next Tuesday.

New ORLEANS, Oct. 81.
The following address issued by the demo-
cratic State Central Committee will show
somewhat the dangerous attitude of tie cam
paign committees toward each other and the
possibility of trouble at the polls on Tuesday.
ITO the democrats of New Orleans and of
Louisiana: Tomorrow, Friday, federal
judge has displayed his partisanship by
appointing to represent you at the polls as
United States supervisors. men who are
opposing you and the nominees may assume
the power of deciding whether 10000 duly
registered citizens of New Orleans shall be
stricken off the poll books, at the request of
these so called democratic supervisors and
their republican colleagues. You are besides
to be confronted at the polls by supervisors
instructed by their chief, Norton, to resist
arrest by State officers with or without a
warrant. According to these outrageous
instructions, your State officers can be law
fully shot down in the performance of their
duty. These acts recall the usurpations of
1874, 1876, and 1877, in this State and of the
late municipal elections in Cincinnati. They
warn you that your frmness and patriotism
are once more tested by representative ap-
pointees who have no regard for your rights
as free men and American citizens and no
respect for the sacred prerogatives of the
State.
Your executive committee earnestly desire
free and fair election, and to that end,
counsel you to act in strict accordance with
laws. but also appeal you to sustain the off
GERS of the State in the performance of their
legitimate duties with that herism which you
displayed in the dark days of Louisiana's his
tory and which won the admiration of all
liberty loving men throughout the Union.'

SPAIN AND AMERICA.
A New Business Treaty Talked of Be-
tween the Two Countries.
LONDON. Oct. 81

LONDON, Oct. o.
A despatch to the Standard from Madrid
saws: At meeting of the cabinet council
Yesterday. presided over by the King, Senior
j. De Elduaven, minister IF foreign affairs,
submitted for consideration the conditions
agreed upon between U. :. Minister Foster
and Senor Albacete. Spanish commissioner,
for special treaty of commerce with Amer
lea. This treaty would be the starting point
for a new colonial and tariff policy in the
Spanish West Indies. 1t wsuid open the
Castiliian colonies TO American competition
against Spanish imports, but it would also
admit Cuba and Porto Rico into the Zollver-
cine which America is gradually forming
with Mexico and other Spanish speaking
countries around the Gulf of Mexico and
Central America, on a basis Of reciprocal
concessions and discriminating duties to
exclude European competitor. Canada, the
British West Indies and the Central Ameri-
can republics will receive the same advances
from the Yankee diplomacy shortly. A
special Hispanc-American convention stipu-
lates that its advantages shall apply only to
trade between the United States, Cuba and
Porto Rico, which is carried on under the
American and Spanish flags respectively. By
its terms America will admit sugar, molasses
and raw tobacco free of all duties. and the
duties on other articles imported from the
West Indies will be reduced. Spain will
place American -four and cereals imported
into her colonies upon the sane footing as
those imported from Spain. and will make n
large reduction in the duties on cattle, salt,
fresh fish and all but very few American
manufactured goods. Spain will also sup
press the consular tonnage duties which are
now levied at American ports, and promises
further to reform custom houses, harbor and
sanitary regulations and fines in her colo
nies. Only a strong government like that of
Senior Canovas Del Castillo with docile ma
jorities in both houses of Parliament, could
venture to attempt such departure from the
prevailing Castillan ideas of colonial policy
and from the old system of protective tariffs
The convention is likely to meet with much
opposition in the contest.

AVARIOUS YOUNG MAN.
Figures as Many Different People at all
Degrees.

PROVIDENCE, Oct. 81.
Chss. G. Southwick was arrested here this
morning for stealing a horse and carriage
from local livery stable. Southwick is
about "a years of age. Besides stealing the
present horse, which he drove to Fall River
and sold, he has raised money by mortQaging
another team hired from the stable. Clip
pings from New Hampshire papers and other
articles found on his person indicate that he
has run a checkered career in this State and
Massachusetts, figuring as a revivalist and
operator of magic lantern shows. He appears
to have run as gospel minister in Lawrence,
Mass. Among the clippings is a pungent
debate with supporters, of meetings in that
city in which the evangelist demanded pc
cuniary aid. The matter was settled by the
aid of Rev. s. L. Parsons of Portland as
mediator, when q certain amount was paid to
get Southwick out of the city. He has used
various aliases in his horse transactions. The
young man was endorsed by the Methodist
clergvmen and members of the Y. NJ. c. A.
He was a member of the Methodist church in
this city and an earnest christian worker
Southwick declares that he can clear himself
at the proper time, but will not talk of the
charge on which he is held,

NAlNE DISPATCHES.

BOSTON, Oct 81.
The composition meeting in the matter of
Shaw Bros under an act of composition
passed by the last legislature, was held at
East Cambridge, Thursday The principal
member of the firm, Fayette Shaw, was pres
ent and sworn. Nearly three million claims
in amount were offered for proof. The
greater part of these were proven before
George w. Morse. counsel for the debtors,
and offered by him. This seems to indicate
that the creditors desire the compos ition as
offered by F. Shaw & Bros. and as recon-
mended bv the committee It's understood
that nearly all of these who presented their
claims, through other parties or directly,
favor composition. Some questions arose
as to whether the creditors could prove their
claims without jeopardizing some possible
right under an assignment of +. A. Wyman,
trustee. 1t was arranged that all claims,
both at the meeting and those to be presented
hereafter, might be presented without preju-
dice upon that point, that is, if it shall be
determined that the proof before the insolv-
ency court shall jeopardize any other interest
the claims shall be withdrawn or expunged.

CHILD KIDNAPPED.
A Father Steals His Child for the Sec-
Ond Time.

New HAVEN, Conn, Oct. 81,
A bold case of abduction occurred here
last evening. Three men called at the resi-
dedce of DIR. f. j. Toof of l26 Wall street,
and when the servant opened the door made
a rush for the dining room where Mrs.
Toof and her daughter and Mrs. Rollin
Reeves and daughters were at supper. Mrs.
Reeves recognized the leader as her husband
from whom she had separated. She imme.
diately seized her six year old daughter and
tried to escape with her, but the men seized
her and after a struggle during which Mrs
Reeves was knocked down the father secured
possession of the child, assisted by his ac.
completes, who prevented any interference.
He placed the child in carriage and drove
rapidly towards the outskirts of the city.
This is the second abduction of the child.
About two months ago he took her to Massa-
chusetts, but was arrested and forced to re-
turn her to her mother.

THE STAR ROUTE FRAUDS.
Minority Report of the Committee on
Expenditures in the Department
of Justice.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 81.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81.
Representatives Milliken and Stewart of
the committee on expenditures in the depart
ment of justice, have just signed the minor
ity report on the investigation of the prosecu-
ton of the star route frauds. The report
says there is an apparent desire to iasinuste
that Bliss did not place before the grand
jury as fully as he might the evIdeuce in the
the Salisbury and Parker cases but the mere
fact that the brief of evidence made up by
Bliss for the grand jury and presented to the
committee with the endorsement of the fore
man on them show that he did not present all
pertinent evidence which was then available
1t was certainly not Mr.. Bliss's fault that the
proposed arbitration were proceeded with
The government abandoned the proceedings
before the tribunal of which two of the three
members were selected by itself. The ma
jorlty report is in error in asserting that
pending the hesitation of the government as
to the proceedings with srbitrstions, the
statute of limitations ran against the criminal
proceedings. On the contrary. if each quar-
terly receipt of money under fraudulent con-
| tract was a new offence, as we think il clearly
was, the statute may in some of the cases not
even yet have run. The minority charges
| that the attempts as indicated in certain state
ments in the majority report to throw discredit
upon one of the counsel. find their enemies
in his personal relations and political activity
but have no real support either in the evil
dence before the committee or in his standing
in the community,
The star route frauds were undoubtedly
enormous. The prosecution was not success
full. This want Of success seems to be ascrib-
sble not to any want OF earnestness, sincerity
or sbility On the part of the prosecution, but
rather to the magnitude of the interests in
Volved and the DEFICIENCIES in the criminal
statements of the United States.

A II inch gun was cast by the South Bos-
ton Iron Company, today, making the fourth
