NEW YORK, Jan. o.-'6fatn says: ms
ONO senatorial election is Regarded by all
the newspapers here to be settled for Payne
prooanly' put certainty against feadieton'
mo caance Tor Pendieton" Is the standing
briefly summed up, IS that Nj. Payne he's the
noltaern ONO representatives. The state
executive committee Is enthusiastically
at WORK In MS interest anu also tne soma
delegatlon from Hamilton county. IL Is
SAID that ar. fendteton VIII remain IN
the hight, 6ut this Is hardly probable, as some
OF Ills friends are free to admit that he now
stands ON the very verge OF his political
grave, while the treacherous earth is slowly
but surely giving way uuder his feet. 1t is
barely possible it is not too late for Mr.
Pendleton to name his successor; but beyond
1ilat MS influence Win the oAlo democracy
Us no" managed mas TO all appearances
come TO an abrupt termination" Inc Ir1b-
una saJs: IF the Payne mon want to
fWc the nomination they can nominate their
Elan on the first ballot: but they will not
do so, as t.e.s are many members who want
10 vote for their candidate as compliment
two or three times. If this programme is car
rted out it viii be safe to say that Payne will
be nominated on the third ballot, if al the
pledges made for him are carried cut If it
had not been for the advice of his personal
friends Mr.. Thurman would now be in the
race" The World refers to the senatorial
fight in ONO thus: "Not until now
do the Pendleton managers dis
cover how effective has been the
work against the senator. AID everything
now points in the direction OF the latter's de-
feat. At no time since the war has tho feel
ing been So high, and bitter contest is sure
to follow The Payne fnen Confidently claim

subject of social agitation In London only
S per cent of the mortality is found among
the wealthy or wels-to-do. IN this city the
same rule applies The mortality of the past
year baS been as 81 IN 900. Ihree-fourths of
lhlS rae comes from the over-crowded dis
trlcts. Ono authority has given the tenement
house mortality at 40 per cent, another at
over that figure There are $4,000 persons
cooped up In these barracks. One sociologist
declares that there are blocks in which the
population is at the rate of 46o,000 persons
to the square mile" DR.. Talmage has pub
l!cly asserted that there are $4,000 persons

Die assistance. Some oiocks nave nearly eoJ
