The True lnwardness Of the West Letter.

POMONA, CAL, Nov. 3.-Notwithstan ding
diligent work by detectives, assisted by every
Democrat in Pomona and hints from the
Democratic State Committee, the secret Of
the Murchison's letter, has been faithfully
kept until to-day, and then the disclosure
was made in the Pomona Progress, whose
editor has the authority to make the author
ship public. The letter to Minister West
was signed by Charles F. Murchison, was
written here by a young English-C Canadian,
James Cosner. He had made bis home in
Pomona for seyen years, and was natural.
lied last April at Los Angeles. In this cam.
paign he was one of the first to declare for
Harrison, while his two cousins, Andrew
and George Wilson, who have also been re-
Gently naturalized, were undecided whether
to vote for Cleveland or Harrison.
He said to q Tribune correspondent to .day
that during a heated argument with his Dem.
ocrstic cousins and an Irishman last August
on Cleveland's attitude toward Great Britain
the thought suggested itself to him to write
to Sir Charles Topper and get his private
opinion concerning C%ieveland's attitude on
the fishery question. He talked with two
Republican 1rishmen and former Democrats,
F. G. Haley and Patrick C. Tanner, both
lawyers, on the subject, and they suggested
that if an opinion favorable to Cleveland
could be obtained from Upper, and also
from Minister West, and could be spread at
the proper time in the campaign, it would be
another Morey letter sensation and be of
inestimable benefit to Harrison. The name
of Charles F. Murchison was signed to the
letter to West because that is the name of
relatives Of Cosner. Mr.. Cosner
admits the authorship of the Murchison let.
ter to-day, but does not admit writing letters
Fish and Upper, although he had q hand
in their composition. He says he new when
he received the letter from West that its
publication would make = sensation, but he
had no idea it would result so disastrouslv |
that gentleman's diplomatic career, and l!
be regrets now that he helped to get West
such q scrape.

LONDON, Nov; 5.-Captain B. Jonness, Of
the Norwegian bark Nor, which collided
with and sunk the steamer Saxmundham,
off Cowes, disclaims responsibility for the
accident. He says the Saxmundham ran
into the Nor while the weather was perfect
IL clear. The crew of the Nor remained on
board eight hours after the accident. They
then abandoned her. He says signals Of
distress were made to passing steamers, but
they declined to render any assistance.
Nothing has been heard Of the twenty-five
persons missing. There is little doubt that
they went down.

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-General Harrison's
majority in the electoral college is estimated
at from 20 to 81. The returns, with the re-.
suit in Connecticut and California still in
doubt, give Harrison 221 and Cleveland 1876.
Indiana is safe for the Republicans by at
least 5000 plurality, and wen if Cleveland
carries both Connecticut and California, it
cannot affect the result, IS in that case be
would only have 100 votes. .:"m""
The latest advices indicate that Connecti-
cut has gone Democratic by : small plurality,
but there Is nothing sure about it. The re-
suit hinges on q few votes, which, it is
claimed, were enormously credited to Cleve.

counting the votes.

During the past five years the
National Department of Scientific
Temperance instruction has been in
cooperation with temperance work
ers in many lands besides our own
in efforts to secure the education,
through the schools, of all childhood
in the scientific reasons for total
abstinence. Many good results have
followed this extension of this work.
Among them we mention these
Our indorsed temperance text books,
translated into the languages of
Japan and of the Sandwich Islands,

foreign skirmish work has had no
organized relation, beyond the
Divine command, "Go We into all

the department of scientific temper
ance instruction was created in the
Worlds Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union, and the writer was
made its superintendent.
In a circular letter sent to all for
eign auXiliaTies, and now through
these columns of the official organ
of the Worlds w. G. It. u, l ac-
knowledge my acceptance of this
position, looking to Him whose
blessing alone can make human eff
forts effectual, for guidance and help
in the discharge of its duties.
The great work of the revision of
the imperfect temperance textbooks
in our own country, making an al
most exclusive demand upon my
personal attention, came to me at the
same time. Amidst these labors and
cares 1 have sent to all fereign ad-
dresses on the roster Of the Worlds
w. G. T. u, an invitation to create
scientific temperance instruction

with a superintendent auxiliary to
the international department and
with this invitation have sent also

its minute directions for every detail,
based upon our eight years expert

appearance on the platform, looking
young, clean-cut and vigorous.
Sometimes his rich tenor voice gets
slightly husky, but his enunciation
is of the clearest, and his light blue
eyes penetrate the audience. He is
of the blonde type, his thoughtful
face being set off well by a heavy
sandy mustache, Major Hilton's
ten years experience at the internal
revenue books of the United States
treasury department has given him
a fund of knowledge which he can
use to a great advantage as a tenn
