SENATOR BRICE
On the Situation in Ohio-He is Very
Sanguine of Results

New YORK, October 26.-Calvin 5.
Brice, Senator-elect from Ohio, is in
town. Mr.. Brice arrived from the Nc
Kinley battlefield, where he has been
doing campaign duty with Governor Hill.
All day yesterday his Office was throng-
ed with business men and politicians.
Generally speaking, Mr.. Brice attended
to business and allowed politics to
go by the board Although Mr.. Brice
diScaimed the idea that his visit had
anything to do with politics, it is likely
that his voice may be heard by the Con-
greSSional Campaign Committee before
his return. He met Roswell =. Flower
during the afternoon, and the two put
their heads together over the
general situation, but the gen
eral purport of their converse
tion could not be ascertained. In spite
of Mr. Brice'S recent campaigning, he
seems to be in the pink of health. When
questioned to-day as to the outlook in
Ohio he said: THE chances seem to
be altogether in favor OF Democratic
victory. The Mckinley men are tear
ing up stumpS to avert disaster, but |
scarcely think they will succeed"
"Do you think Mckinley is losing
ground by reason of the course which
he is taking?"
Il cannot see that he is gaining any
thing. The Democrats feel confident as
to the ultimate result. If the battle is
fought out along the line of National
issue-that is to say the tariff, the
Force bill and the gcrrymandering bill,
there is every reason to hope for Dem
ocratic victory"
"What is the feeling relative to the
Mckinley bile"
"Thc people are opposed to it, and /
only hope the Republican candidates
will conline themselves to the issues"
replied Mr.. Brice.
1T is reported that the iron men in
Pennsylvania are unloading money in
Ohio to elect Mckinley. Do you know
anything of it?"
81 know it to be fact. More mon
ey has been used by the Republicans in
this campaign than was ever used be-
fore in the State"
"What interest have the Pennsylva-
mia men in McKinley'S reelection"
They are throwing money into the
campaign in accordance with a compact
made previous to the passage of the
Tariff bill. They are simply making
their promises good
"Will Governor Hills visit have any
marked b caring on the election?'
at certainly will. His work was very
effective. His speeches were clear and
concise, and the Democrats were greatly
encouraged. His appearance in the
campaign was hailed with the greatest
enthusiasm"

A CHICAGO TRAGEDY.
An Ex-Alderman Meets His Death in "A
Gambling Resort

CHICAGO, October 2G.-EX-Alderman
William p. Whelan, was shot and NOR
tally wounded early this morning by
George II. Hathaway, a gambler. The
tragedy occurred at o'clock this morn
ing in Mat. Hogan's saloon and restau-
rant at No. 1886 State street, a rendeZ-
vouS for the sporting elements OF both
sexes. After the shooting Hathaway
walked calmly away, and was neither
seen nor heard from for several hours.
As soon as the police learned of the
shooting and of Whelan's desperate con-
dition, every effort was made to capture
the perpetrators of the dastardly deed,
but it was not until after | o'clock in
the afternoon that the detectives run
across him on the Clark street bridge.
On being informed that he was under
arrest, Hathaway's first question to the
detective was: "IIow badly is Whelan
hurt?"
The detectives told him that they
thought that he would pull through all
right, and Hathaway felt much easier.
When taken to the Central Station he
was closeted for an hour and three
quarters with Chief Marsh and Lieut..
Kipey. where nc made written state
ment Of the shooting, which the police
absolutely refuse to make public. Whe-
Ian died at 800 o'clock in the after
noon, but Hathaway was not Informed
of his death.

had met in jObOat at the head of South
Seventh street, and overheard by the

that Seblltzkie had won the affections
OF his sweetheart, while the others
were more than willing on account Of
the money and jcwelry their intended
victim always carried on his person.
1t is more than suspected that this
peaching friend was in the plot, as ho

day. taking all his effects. Soblitzkie

A Mild Pastoral.

DUBLIN, October 2G.-The pastoral
letter adopted at the autumnal meeting
Of the Roman Catholic hierarchy was
read to-day IN the Catholic churches
throughout Ireland. Tho letter pro-
tests against attempts TO minimize the
extent Of the potato crop failure, as
such a course was the disastrous one
pursued during former faminos. 10
appeals TO the government for
timely assistance to palliate wnat
trustworthy reports show 10 be- q real
aud widespread danger. The letter con-
tains a reteration Of the papal prohibi-
tior Of the "plan Of campaign" and boy
cotting, and directs the people 20 have
nothing whatever to do with politics.
1t concludes by expressing sympathy
with the eyicted tenants aud the hope
that Parliament may succeed IN adopt
ing measures rcinstating the evicted
and preventing further eyictions.

about doubled. although it may fall off
little from that. The well responded
beautifully in about fifteen minutes
rush. There is plenty of gas, and the
well will be a good one. Its output be-
fore the shot was fired was about two
hundred barrels, and it will likely run
between three and four hundred, max

cotton, the Gulf City oil mill; the Mo-
bile ice factory, three steamboats,,
eleven loaded and five empty freight

capes from falling walls occurred. The
loss is one of the most serious ever

400 bales of cotton, was the next to go.

warehouse was soon gone. At the same
time fire was discovered in the cotton
seed oil mills, having caught from
the cotton fire, and soon this large
