PATTISON ON THE RESULT.
He Expected Larger Figures HASN'T
Been Congratulated by CLEVELAND


Robert L. Pattison, governor elect Of Penn

delphia by a correspondent of the Baltimore
American. In speaking of the campaign MIR.
Pattison said:
Il am glad it is over, for am very tired. In
the last five weeks have been campaigning
every day throughout the state In that time
visited sixty-four out Of the sixty-seven couu-
ties, and when man gets through with such a
job as that he naturally feels pretty much worn
out"
what opinion have you formed upon the
result?"
My majority should be much more than has
been SO far reported" he replied II think
Will have l3. 900 majority"
Were you surprised at the result?''
by no means. / have been through the
state SO much and so long, and / knew the sit
uation so thoroughly that was perfectly well
acquainted with the situation. Consequently
the fact that | was elected was by no means a
surprise, although expected larger figures"
do you think that Mr.. Blaiue's speech in any
way affected the RESULT"
Not bit. II the speech could have had any
effect 1t was too late to accomplish it"
Il suppose you have been overwhelmed with
congratulations?"
Il have had lots of letters and teleprams
THESE are mostly from people in the city and

The Chicago Nesns, independent says edi-
toriaily, referring to Tuesdays elections:
THE revolt against the high protection Nc

feature Of yesterdays election. Instead Of .
minority Of Is, as in the present Congress, the
democrats will probably have a majority Of al
least 60 in the Fifty-second Congress. McKin-

demned and with il Reedism. The man from
Maine will not WELD the gavel in the ne 1t
House, but will be compelled TO take his sc at

Through the mass of election returns il 10
clearly seen that the intelligence of the coun-
try condemns the sophistry by which is sought
to maintain the protective system, and is pre-
pared TO persist in the struggle 20 secure both
branches Of Congress as well as the executive
department. The outcome Of the congress

toned to off-year landslides OF year VIC

THE RESULT IN KANSAS.
After an Unprecedented Contest the
Republicans Suffer Losses,

The Kansas City Times (dem.) yesterday
said There has been an election In Kansas.
The tidal wave has dashed high against the
republican $4,000 and has rocked it and melted
1t until some, at least of the rottenness has
gone to the everlasting bottom where the
debris OF false politics lies. The alliance has
elected ms mbers of the legislature, county
tickets and given to Its gubernatorial candidate
vote which cannot so back to republicanism
OF the traitorous kind uppermost lately. Anti
republican Congressman have been elected
ingalls,, rep, has been condemned. The COM
bined opposition to bis republicanism is COM
posed OF a vast majority of Kansas voters
Hypocritical prohibition is shaken with the rest
OF the constraints upon local government and
individual liberty. Kansas is with the rest of
the country.
The journal, rep, has no editorial comment
on the election i'll Kansas. Its dispatch from
Topeka, Kan says: THE contest this year has
been unprecedented even in Kansas. The re-
turns made to the several state central COM
mittees are but meager. The republican CEN
trail committee believe later returns will prove
the election Of the entire republican ticket
The first and sixth congressional districts are
conceded to the opposition, Moonlight, dem,
and Baker, alliance, being the victors. The
seventh district has been close"

BISHOPS AND MISSIONARIES.
Interesting Addresses at the Mckendree
Meeting Last Night.

Missionary work that should begin at home
was the subject that received the attention Of
the meeting called in the interests of missions
at the McKend-ce VI. i. Church last evening.
The church was so crowded that many were
compelled to remain standing through the
whole evening. A number of prominent min
listers we're on hand az two Of the bishops
who were still in town took leading part in
the exercises. Bishop Walden presided. as
sisted by Rev. DIR. Richardson. The opening
prayer was made by Rev. c. Fl. Mytinger and
Rev. DIR. C. W. Baldwin read the lesson from
the Scriptures
Bishop Walden made the first address OF the
that the missionary spirit Of the church was
the spirit of Christianity. The winning over to
Christianity OF the great cities is the first step
in the evangeliZatiOn of the world. OF the
two great foreign fields for missionary work
the lands where there is the semblance Of q
church but none of its spirited power
and the lands that admittedly heathen--he
thought the former was quite M important as
the latter, and while we arc sending mission
aries to Africa aud to Asia we should not forget
Mexico and the Spanish American countries.
He referred to the necessity for missionary
work among the foreign elements in our popu-
lation and IN certain of the ruder sections of
our country, but said that in his opinion the
cities, the centers of our wealth and power.
Bishop Newman who had come III during
the latter part OF Bishop Waiden's address, ex-
planned by saying that he had just come from
another meeting-one held for the purpose of
suggesting a measure to Congress to propose to
the nations OF the world for the establishment
of a worlds supreme court to settle the interna-
national questions which are now settled by
arbitration or by war.
Bishop Newman then made an earnest ad-
dress for the cause of missions. He said that
the hesitancy of European nations to go to war
was caused by Christianity, factor whose in
fuence il felt now the world over. He pro-
tested against the practice OF calculating the
advantages Of missions numerically, method
lie considered wrong, since the influence OF
religion is diffusive, like sunshine. ChrIsts
kingdom is rapidly absorbing the kingdoms of
the world. He maintained that the condition
of missionaries abroad is not as bad as is gen.
orally supposed. In Japan. he said, the oppo-
sition amounts to almost nothing, and what
there is arises from local and independent
causes. Americans in almost all other coun-
tries are looked upon much as Europeans
in this country and treated in much the same
way. Bishop Newman closed his address by
referring eIoquently to the needs and to the
blessings of Christian missionary work.
The instrumental music was furnished by the
Georgetown Amateur Orchestra aud added
great deal to the interest of tine evening.

Ddlz;el reporter has discovered some interest
ing details with regard to Robert Rowe. his
alleged nephew. Edgar is unknown in CHS
wick, but Rowe is well known and his wife is
living there now. Rowe comes Of a we'll TODD
family and married a wealthy lady. He is a
qualified chemist of the Pharmaceutical Society
Of Grea. Britain, and was first registered in
1866 In 1868 he started in business at Rich
mond Road, West Brompton. which business
he sold two years later. About midsummer
1870 Rowe took over the drug business of
Strickland & Co., % Cromwell Place, South
Kensington, Strickland retiring from active
participation in the concern, but retaining an
interest in the business. At this period he was
making 81 900 q year. He wanted to make
El0,0O0 and SO speculated on the stock ex-
change with every penny he could scrape
together, GRIPPING his business and drawing on
his own aud his wife's relations. In 1884 his
speculations proving disastrous and fearing to
meet his creditors, he bolted to America, leav-
ing his wife and children.

English Coal Porters Strike,

The coal porters at Plymouth, England, are
on strike, and the resolution Of the merchants
and their friends to personally do as much of
the work as they can manage has led to some
amusing scenes. Ono gentleman, q colliery
agent, came all the way from Falmouth. a dis
lance of seventy miles, and has done yeoman's
service in the work Of unloading the vessels.
Two students went on board big collier, at
tired in foot ball costume, and labored heartily
all day, filling baskets from the hold and
trundllng them of the vessels in wheelbarrows
to the storing sheds on the docks Their ex-
ample seemed contagious, as many wealthy
merchants followed their eyample.
