call to them that from first to last, the
Democratic party, North and South, in

REGISTERS MUST HURRY.
There Will Be Great Difficulty in
Casting the Vote Registered IN



Special to the Globe.
New YORK, Oct. 29.-Col. Lamont,
who spent Sunday at his home in this.
state, was in this city to-day, and re
turned to Washington tonight. While
here he was in company with Gov. Hill
most of the day. A conference lasting
three hours was held this afternoon be-
tween the governor, Col. Lamont,
Chairmen Murphy and Murtha, of the
state Democratic committees, Robert
A. Maxwell and George S. Weed, the
latter four being in charge of the
state campaign. One of the matters
discussed was the heavy registration in
this city and the difficulty of getting
the full vote cast. 1t was decided that
nothing could be done except to urge
election inspectors to hurry balloting
through, as ii is too late to call session
of the legislature for the purpose of
lengthening the time now allowed by
law of keeping the polls open. Ten
days notice is required by the ccnstitu-
ton to make such session legal. Gov.
Hill speaks in Brooklyn Wednesday
night and in this city Thursday night.
Among his callers to-day was Chairman
Brice, with whom he had a long con-
ference. .

WASHINGTON, Oct. %. - Secretary
Bayard had several conferences with
the president to-day crncerning Lord
Sackville's letter. Secretary Bayard at
10 o'clock tonight said that no new
facts, foreign or domestic, bearing on
the subject had reached him, and that
therefore he had nothing to say. AT a
late hour tonight an untraceable rumor
reached the hotel lobbies to the effect
that a successor to the British
minister had already been appointed.
1t is admitted tonight that cablegrams
were exchanged to-day by Secretary
Bayard and Minister Phelps on the sub
ject of Lord Sackville's recall. The
secretary sent his first cable after an
extended conference with the president
this morning, and reply from Minister
Phelps is said to have been received
two hours later. The contents of the
various messages is kept inyiolate by
the state department.

The Name of the Writer of the
Letter to Lord Sackvilie is Still
Secret.
Los ANGELES. CAL, Oct. 29.-'Ghe
identity of the mysterious Charles f.
Murchison, writer of the Pomona letter
to Minister Sackville West, is still a Sc
cret. There is no truth in the story
telegraphed from here that W. A. Bell,
a lawyer of Pomona, is the real writer
thority of Col. II. q. Otis, editor of
the Times, of this city, who has
been in the secret from the first,
and who stated to an associated
press representative that the story was
absolutely untrue. When asked when
the name would be given to the public
Col. Otis replied that he could not an
swer except to say that it will be made
public when the necessities of the

that he was the author of the letter.

POMONA, Cal. Oct. 29.-The excite
ment is still as great as ever here over
the Murchison and West letters. Four
detectives have been here during the

A SIN OF OMISSION.
BY an Oversight Parnelrs Scotch
Attorneys Weaken Their Clients

Case.
LONDON, Oct. 29.-The fact that Mr..
Parnell's disclaimer of having sent the
alleged check for 9100 to Frank Bvrne
has not been included in the Irish lead
er's case against the Times in the
Scotch courts has excited great deal
of comment and will initiate more
against popular sympathy with him in
England than anything that the Times
has embodied III its charges. Concern
ing this omission, Frank Lewis, Mr..
Parnell's solicitor, said to-day that the
neglect to include his clients denial in
the atfidavits comprising his case was a
complete surprise to himself as we'll as
to Mr.. Parnell, who had written to his
legal advisers in Edinburgh and was i'm
patiently awaiting an explanation. OF
course, if the commission finds in favor
of Mr.. Parnell, little harm can be done
by the omission, since the decision of
the three judges will practically estab-
lish final verdict, but it is assumed
that the
STRONGEST POSSIBLE CASE
should be made out in view of the pos
sibility, not to say probability, that tes-
timony may be forthcoming, the char
acter of which neither party, at the
present moment, has any knowledge.
Michael Davitt disputes Attorney Gen
eral Webster's quotations of his speeches
at various meetings in 1885, and APP
peaIs, through the Freeman's Journal,
to the chairmen of those meetings, and
others who were present, to furnish re-
butting testimony. He IS at present
actively engaged in securing such tes-
timony, and will offer to the commission
evidence so completely at variance with
the statements of Sir Richard Webster
to time, place, circumstance, ETC., that
the misinformation of the attorney gen.
eral will be glaringly apparent.
Mr.. Thomas Power O'C0nnor took

are not superior to such outbursts of

catching the Irish vote by abusing Eng
land, it thinks that no one in America

vile wrote, said or thought.
The Globe holds that the most salts
factory denouement of the incident
would be to send instructions to Lord
Sackville to keep his opinions to him
self while at Washington. American
election tactics. in its opinion, are out
side the notice Of any foreign power.
The st. James Gazette maintains that
LORD Sackville cannot remain at Wash

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-Hon. George
V. III. LothrOp, ex-minister of the
United States to Russia, who is here Oh
brief visit, says that the recently pub
lished Kennan articles on Siberian exile
convey an erroneous impression of the
condition of Russia, and do that country
an injustice. 1T is great mistake,''
Mr.. Lothrop says, Ito imagine that the
people of Russia live under perpetual
restraint, or that they are in constant
danger of arrest and Imprisonment for
fancied effenses. Life in Russia seems
to be quite as free and unhampered as
1t is here. You must remember Rus
sia has vast population scat
tered over a vast territory,
and much greater population
than we have and a much greater cOun-
try. There are undoubtedly cases Of
severity. and even cruelty, in the treat
ment OF Russian prisoners, but the gen.
eral aspect of prison life there has been
greatly exaggerated. l know the SUPER
intendent of Russian prisons we'll, and
he is most humane, enlightened gem
tleman. He has brought about great
reforms, and does all in his power to
ameliOrate the condition of prisoners.'

WAsHfNGToN, Oct. 29.-Gov. Leslie,

cially for men with small capital, and
shows that within three years almost
100000 acres of land have been settled
upon and made fine farming properties.
