What ~ Thought of tho Rasul. In wash

WASHINGTON, November 4-Demo-
Gratis in this vicinity are very well
pleased with the outcome of yesterdays
elections, while the Republicans are
glad that 1T was no worse. a member
of the Cabinet, who object, to being
quoted, said to-day that the Republican
managers in New York completely ig-
nored the Administration during the
recent fight in spite Of the fact that
they were warned against the Anti
Iammany issue in the rural districts
Republicans in Northern New York
appealed to Platt and his lieutenants to
send some speakers into that section
who could tell the farmers something
about the effect of the McK,nly bill on
eggs, barley and similar products which
come into competition with Canadian
productions. The President is alleged
10 have suggested thai 1t would be bet
ter to inject national issues into the
campaign with view to arousing the
interest Of the voters in the counties
outside OF New York and Brooklyn.
His ideas were repeated to Mr.. Platt,
but he paid no attention to the friendly
suggestions. Hence there appears to
he but little sympathy for the downfall
OF Fassett in Administrator circles.
On the other hand, the Democrats are

defeated In Ohio. While they wanted
the courageous Governor to win they
realized that he had remarkable odds
against him. Congressman McKin-
ney, of New Hampshire, who took
an active part in the recent cam
paign, says that the whole weight Uf
the Administration waa thrown into
Ohio to help Mckinley. The returns
show falling off In the Republican
vote in the manufacturing centres,
while they gained in the agricultural
districts, thus showing the people were
affected 10y the course of events since
the passage OF the Mckinley bill. The
operatives in the mills voted against
Mckinley because his bill did not iu-
crease their wages, AMI tho farmers
were disposed to favor 1t because they
are getting better prices for their crops,
anG imagine the bill has something to
do with that pleasant fact.
Congressman Mills expressed his re-
gr0ts that Governor Campbell was not
re e-elccted, but, said he, yesterdays fight
settled beyond dispute that the Demo-
Gratis must throw aside all other issues
and make a square contest with the
Republicans on the tariff question. TO

Historic Bennington.

The ceremony of dedicating the mon
ument erected to commemorate the bat
tie Of Bennington crowded that little
Vermont town to oyerfiowing. The
presence of the President of the United
States and members of his Cabinet, as
we'll as the Governors of three States,
gave the event more than local interest
1t brought people from all parts of the
United States, but particularly from the
New England States, to witness and
take part in the ceremony. Probably in
the whole history of Bennington no such
distinguished gathering will be held
again. At the encampment grounds
around the Soldiers Home, where the
interest of the event conferred during
the early part of the day, the soldier
boys were aroused by the reveille
call early in the morning. The crowd
was up with the soldiers, for with the
first break of dawn the streets began to
assume a lively appearance and the
roads leading into town commenced to
empty their stream of wagons and car
riages into the camp grounds. Every
private as we'll as every public house in
Bennington was crowded and many slept
on the lawns, while hundreds were glad
to find sleeping quarters in tents which
afforded little protection to the chill
night air. When the first Of the special

A CRISIS IMMINENT
IN DICTATOR BALMACEDA'S
AFFAIRS.

The Insurgents Prepared to Give Decisive
BattIe-Terrible Results OF the Hur-
ricane in the Wess Indies-Over sixty
Livos and twenty Vessels Lost.
A dispatch from Valparaiso, Chilli,
says: The insurgant army has effected a
landing at Quintero Bay, only twenty
miles north of this city. According to-
the lowest estimate it numbers 10000
men. They were brought down from
Caldera on eight transports, three tugs
and four warshipS. The point of land
ing is about fifty miles from Santiago,
where Balmaceda's forces to the number
of 10000 have been stationed. Quintero
Bay is the entr. nee TO a fertile valley
and is in direct line with Santiago and
Valparaiso The Ba,.xaacediStS have for
some time anticipated movement south
on the part of their foes, but they be-
loved that CoQuimbo would be the first
place attacked.
1t now appears that the lowering Of
the inSurgent fleet in the neighborhood
of Co .uimbo Bay was only a scheme to
deceive Balmaceda. By coming so far
south the insurgents leave the large
force Of BaimacediSts at CoGuimbo many
miles to the north Of them and helpless
to render any aid to the Government
army in this neighborhood. I he landing
at QuinterO Bay was therefore a COM
plete surprise to the President, but as
soon as he learned the news he acted
promptly. BY his command large
force was sent north to meet the enemy.
Admiral Brown, from bis flagship, the
San Francisco, saw the landing of the

is Just outside the harbor. 1t is expe ted
that it will be joined at once by the
other insurgent war vessels from Quin-
tero Bay.
1t looks as If, in conjunction with the
advance of the land forces upon this
city, the fleet will open fire upon the
forts that defend this harbor. Valparaiso
Bay is st ongly fortified. The forts
mount thirty guns, among which are a
ten-inch muzzle loader, eleven eight
inch and nine-inch breech leaders, and
five Krupp guns of "A centimeterS cali
Der. The remainder are 300-pounders.
Most of these guns are masked, and offer
small target for ships to fle at. The
gunners are all skilled men, who have
great deal of practice They know the
distances across the bay, as they have

The insurgent feet has altogether
some nineteen guns, including 1O-inch,
s-inch, and 6-inch breech-loaders. I'm
less some of the government gunners
turn traitors it does not seem likely that
the feet can silence the forts. So far it
is quiet here. 1t looks as if the most
important engagement so far in the his
tory of the present war is about to be,
fought. Until the present time it has
been nearly altogether a battle of words.
Now fierce fight is imminent.
On it's result depends in all likelihood
the complete overthrow Of Balmaceda or
of his opponents. The rout of the
Presidents forces would undoubtedly be-
quickly followed by the capture of both
Valparaiso and Santiago by the victor
ious army of the insurgents.

Terrible Results o the Hurricane that
Visited Mar Unique.
The hurricane that swept over Mar
Unique of the West India Islands, caused
greater damage than at first supposed.
So far as can be learned there were
over sixty deaths as the result of the
hurricanes visitation, but it will be-
some time before the full extent Of the
disaster is known. AT Fort de France
alone there were twelve lives lost, and
at both Fort de France and ST. Pierre,
to say nothing of the country districts,
there have been large numbers of people
injured.
Five persons are known to have been
killed in ST. Pierre, but it is feared that
this does not represent the entire loss of
life in the capital.

ports of the island was never an easy
matter, and it is excessive y difficult to.

Lamentin shows that there are ten dead

At Francois there were sixteen people
killed and large numbers injured, and at
Riviere Pilote there were two or more
deaths, and so on from all parts of the
island comes the tale of woe and desola-

dead at ten and numbers of more or less
severely injured. The damage done to
shipping and property may safely be
classed as stupendous. About two ffths-
