we are not telling districts in which we will

the Republicans will gain largely in the North
and West, and our gains viii be due to the Nc
hlnley tariff bill. Our most pronounced gains
Will be IN Indiana. We viii greatly su' prise the
Democrats in that State. Thsn again, we will
get more in Ohio than il was intended we
eshould have by the gerrymander. You know
al hrst 1t was claimed by the Democrats that
we could on.y have five members out of twenty.
ore, while Ohio is really a Republican State.
But now the Democrats concede us. believe.
ten members. That in itself is Republican
victory. The people of Ohio, l believe, viii not
sustain the unjust gerrymander. We will have
a solid delegation from Connecticut. We have
three OF the four now. If we got all of the
southern districts that have Republican msjori-
ties, then the House would be Republican by at
least twenty-five. In Illinois / don't think we
can make any gains, but we will hold our own
there.
The Democrats have placed lots of money
In Iowa, but don't think there is any chance
for the Democrats in that State. The Republi-
cans are liable to have big surprise in New
York, because of the new ballot law. Our
greatest loss, however, will be on account of
patronage. The Republicans will hold their

Now l talk thus confidently of success, be-
cause of the reports received frUm the Republi-
cans on the ground. Of course, they may be
prejudiced, and the reports sent me may show
bias In favor of the party, but on the assump-
tion that my information is correct, I say that
the next House will be Republican. Early in
the campaign, just after the adjournment OF
Congress, the advance in prices had a depress-.

AM American Illuminated in Italr

While Charles Dougherty, son of the
silver-tongued orator, was Secretary of
Legation in Rome during Clevelands ad-
ministration, an American citizen was
compelled to put up with an imposition
from the Italian Government which has
never till now been recorded in print An
American gentleman purchased house in
the Eternal City from an English resi-
dent who was moving to a villa in the
outskirts. Not long after the American
had become the owner he discovered
buried in the garden couple of statues,
evidently antique, and rather the worse
for wear. As he knew little and cared
less about such things, he resolved to sell
them and accordingly made his discovery
known. To his surprise the Italian Gov
ernment sent to him for the marbles. He
explained that be mad bought the prop
erty. The Government told him he might
keep the property, but he must give up
the statues. He consulted the English
man from whom he had bought the house
and grounds, and the Englishman had told
him that he had made similar discovery
and had sold his treasure trove" without
opposition from the authorities. $50 and
see your Minister" said the Englishman.
The American accordingly went and laid
his case before that gentleman. you'll
have to give up the statues" said he.
"But the English owner sold his" "Ah,
but he was an Englishman; you, as an
American, have here no redress; nor have
influence enough here to protect you.
You'd better comply with the demand of
the Government or you may have serious
trouble" "But if my case were reported
to Washington" at would be quite
useless. The American flag commands no
respect here" The Italian Government
got the Philadelphia Inquirer.

A Mexican Relic.

Among the many articles of interest in
the new Natural History Museum at
Vienna perhaps nothing has been more
discussed than an old Mexican relic which
is preserved with great care under glass.
This relic which is now known as the
field badge OF King Montezuma, had lain
for 800 years in the Ambrase collection,
where it was at first catalogued as
Moorish hat of long, heavy, glistening
green and gold feathers.
One investigator held that it was an In
dian hat, another an Indian apron but
in 1920 it was at last known to be Mexi-
can badge of high rank, and through
Ferdinand Hochstetter it was proved to
be the genuine field decoration Of King
Montezuma, captured by Cortez in 1920,
after the battle of Otumba.
This battle was followed by the wild
flight of the Mexicans. and the robbing of
the land by Cortez, who sent the standard
and wardrobe of the King. with much
gold, to the Emperor Charles V. of Spain.
The latter gave the standard to Pope
Clement VII, who sent it to Grand Duke
Ferdinand of TyrQl, for the Ambrase col
lection.
1t is shaped like fan, and is made from
tail-feathers of the bird of paradise, which
have a glitter like gold over their red,
green and blue colors. The moths had
partly destroyed it, but of the 500 original
feathers only forty-one were much injured,
and those have been replaced by new ones,
and the former beauty is fully restored.

ANOTHER MYSTERY.
A Case Which Closely Resembles the
syprdor of

NEW YORK, November I'd The strong sup.
port for the theory of the famous Bu;chell case
has found parallel in the alleged suicide of a
wealthy Engiishman at Yonkers. Benwell, who
had money, was lured to this country, robbed
and murdered. James 4. Edgar, wealthy Lon
don druggist was lured to this country and has
been found dead, penniless, in ionkers hotel.
To-day Captain Managers of Yonkers applied to
The New York police department for assistance
on the case, and Inspector Byrne detailed two
of his most competent men on the task OF un-
raveling tie mys cry.
The old gentleman was known to have re-
ceived 5000 two weeks ago, yet when found IN
the hotel he had not & dollar on his person. In
the room was note to the proprietor signed
with the assumed name of George Smith, y
asking pardon for the inconvenience he was
causing and saying that the inhumanity OF a
few persons had driven him to death.
Perry II. Sumner, New York broker. identi-
fed the body as that of James H. Edgar. The
strange conduct of George II. Edgar, nephew
of the deceased, and his subsequent disappear
ance the fact that the valise carried by the
Englishman is missing, and the absence of any
bottle or flask which could have contained
poison are the chief points upon which the the
Dries and operations of the police are based.
