Republicans Hopeful.

WASHINGTON, September 16.-Speaker
Reeds tremendous victory has set the men,
bers of the Republican Congressional cam.
paign committee all aglow with enthusiasm.
Whereas before the news from Maine was
received some anxiety was felt as to the re-
suit of the contest for the next House, today
more confidence of capturing 1t is expressed
than at any time during the campaign. Dur
ing the past week the headquarters of the
committee has resembled beehive. Gener-
al Clarkson, relieved of his official duties,
assumed virtual management of the cam
paign, and this, together with the tidings
from the Pine Tree State, set the machinery
rapidly in motion.
As in the battle of 1888, so in that Iof 1890,
the tariff is being made the issue, and tons
of documents demonstrating the fallacies of
free trade and the benefits Of protection are
now being circulated. The committee is also
endeavoring to show how grossly the federal
elections bill has been misrepresented, and
how, as soon as it becomes law, it will en-
sure fair ballot and fair count, no matter
to what section of the country it may be ap-
piled,

banking institutions of this city, it is said,

impression is that these will be offered at

AN OCEAN ScoURcE.
rhe Storm Which Dismasted the
Bath Ship Challenger.
boston JournaI.1


With the account of the disaster to the
Bath ship Challenger. by which IL of her
crew lost their lives, it is to be hoped that
the tale of destruction by the first West In-
dian hurricane of the season is practically
completed. This hurricane, it will be re-
membered, was first announced in The
Morning journal of August 90, when it was
reported from the Island of st. Thomas, W.
l. The editions of September 2 and The
Morning Journal of the 3rd inst. spoke of
the probable course it was pursuing toward
Europe, and on the latter date The Journal
predicted that "vessels arriving at ports will
probably have stories to tell of the storm"
Now, though this storm was evidently a
small one and nowhere touched land, it is
significant that it has entirely destroyed a
number of vessels, but with little loss of life
except in the present instance.

that the Senate amendment will eventually
