CoLrMpus, O., Oct. 50.-Quite 4 sensa-
ton was sprung in political circles to.
night By documentary evidence given
out at Republican headquarters that
John Livingston, president OF the New
York State Alliance, had offered to sell
his influence TO the Republican party
and secure tho election OF Mckinley,
and 4 large batch OF correspondence be-
tween Livingston and Secretary Nat
thews, of the State Republican COM
mittcc, shows up his schemes. In the
first place Livingston offered, for tho
consideration Of ten dollars for railroad
fare, to send tho committee tho original
Livingston pension letter." At
length the MONEY was sent him.
Livingston Immediately made another
offer to stump Ohioasan Alliance orator,
and secure the Alliance support for Nc
Kinney, in the consideration OF $500,
half OF which was TO be paid down and
the balance after his election. The Re-
publican committee spurned the offer,
but Livingston was not to be so easily
repulsed and offered to take half the
sum on such terms. OF course he was
again refused. Finding that he could
not make deal with the Re-
publican committee, after sending,
OF his own free will, COM
promising letters he offered to
return the ten dollars advanced
if they would send back his correspond
encc and papers. Finding he was in 4
hole, Livingston uttered a square dc:
NAL oi tho Livingston letters" and dc!
nounced them rs utterly false; but from
his letters and the fact that he used
them in his speeches the depth OF his
scheme to get boodlc IRON the Republi-
can party is shown. Livingston's cx-
posuro OF the methods in which the
Farmers Alliance is engaged will be q
startling but providential revelation to
the good farmers OF Ohio who have
been dazzled by the glittcrins oratory
OF Alliance speakers.

that Flower has talked too little.
The guagc OF tho contest from the
Republican side was laid down in Mr..
Fassett's speech OF acceptance, in which
Tammany was made the issue. Should
Tammany dominate the state or
should she? National politics were not
discussed, it being held that state
issues should dominate all others in

On the other hand, The Democrats
have urged that national issues upon
the eve OF 4 national campaign should
bo discussed, and the Democratic
speakers have dwelled upon the
national .issuGs, and especially
has the subject OF the Worlds
Fair location been canvassed, the
Democrats urging that Mr.. Fassett rep
resented the opposition to New Works

urc when before the State Legislature.
The registration has been larger than

BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT
Continues In All lDlrections-R. G. Dun
Co.'s Roviet, OF Trnde.


Co.'s RcrieU OF Trade.
New YoHK, Oct. 30.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review OF trade says: The
improvement in business continues. II
is greater than before ut the west, coll
siderable at the south and clearly per.
ceiycd at the east, Yet the discourage
mcnt in some branches OF the industry
is not less, but moro apparent than be-
fore, evidently because calculations
have been made upon more rapid and
great increase in business than has been
realized.
The iron industry shows most change.
Extreme anxiety TO sell pig iron, and
financial weakness in expected quarters
produce present depression, which is
in curious contrast with the Astounding
confidence which prevails regarding the
future. Bar mills find lack OF large
orders, plate mills have fair business ut
the lowest prices ever recorded, and
structural iron is irregular and also very
low.
Copper is depressed by heavy sales
at III cents for Lake; tin has gono be-
low 20 cents, and lead has sold down to
~ cents. Wool is somewhat easier.
The dress goods market is active and
works well employed, though at narrow
margins OF profit.
No fears arc entertained Of monetary
pressure. Through the eas. and west
and at most southern points, money
markets are we'll supplied ior legitimate
business and rates tend lower, while
collections improve to some extent al
most everywhere, but especially at the
principal points.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during tho past
seven days number 2j5, rs compared
with total OF 30 last week, and for
the corresponding week OF last year the
figures were 2lS.

SANTIAGO De CHILE, Oct. 30.-I. is gen.
orally admitted here by the supporters
oi the government and by the Ameri-
cars aud those in sympathy with thcm,
that the situation Of affairs as regards
the dispute between the United States
and Chile has not improved. In fact
the anti. American feeling is growing in
bitterness, and all the American oili-
ciaIs in Chile are apprehensive that fur
thcr trouble is brewing. The exact
nature OF this trouble they are unable
TO define, but they see little prospect
that an amicable settlement OF the
Valparaiso incident will soon be
reached, and the signs OF increasing pop
ular animosity toward tho United States
give grounds for apprehension and in
dignaton.
It's not intended by these statements
to create feeling OF alarm, or even OF
anxiety, as to the result OF tine diplo-
matte negotiations now in progress, but
from all one Gun see here today the re-
latiOns between the Junta and the
United States government are becoming
seriously strained.
United States Minister Egan, Captain
Sclley, OF the Baltimore, and William
B. Creery, United States Consul at Val
paraiso, were in close consultation
throughout the day, and, though it is
EOt possible to obtain any definite state
mcnt from them ior publication regard
lag the nature or the result of their
lcnr deliberations. it can be said that
they all consider the reply OF the Junta
10 Minister Egan's note asking for
proper explanation OF the collision de-
c!ledly insulting to the United States
government. 1t is also known that
they regard the situation at present as
Icing serious.
Tie reply OF the Junta, they think,
means practically that Chile is indig-
nlnt at these demands made by tho
United States government; that che
Will take her own time to consider the
matter and that when the Junta reaches
aconclusion, that that government will
settle the matter without reference to
The view OF the United States ON the
subject.
Il; is learned to-day that the United
states cruiser Baltimore is prepared to
enforce, ii such course is found neccs-
saFy, proper treatment for her officers
ant sailors who may be compelled by
the necessities OF the service to 60
ashore.
has just become known that there
s another feature Of the Valparaiso
outrage which demands explanation.
Ihe municipal and government officers
o. Valparaiso who made an investica-
ion Of the attack upon the sailors Of
Inc Baltimore compelled tho United
States man-of-war's men who were con.
med IN the prison to sign q statement
written in Spanish cxoneratins the
police from all responsibility as to their
arrest; AS these papers had to be
siTAed as one OF the stipulations for the
release OF the blue jackets, tho men
naturally did as they were requested.
Under these circumstances it is but
natural that the feeling OF uneasiness is
increasing and that further trouble is
anticipated

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-Following the
publication OF Minister Egan's cable.
gram from Santiago thoro was naturally
good deal Of speculation among de-
partmental officials as to tho next step

the day was that peaceful solution Of

dignity and the rights OF its citizens,
whether civilians or sailors, will net

coming in case OF II power looking for

wealthy and distracted nation. At the
Navy Department there was no sign OF
disturbance. The cabinet meeting TO-
day was attended by all OF the mem
bers except Secretary Foster, who is
out OF town. 1t is surmised that Sccre-
tary Blaine submitted ior consideration
