Ohio votes next Tuesday and we
will probably be able to give a safe
report in our next issue. The
Democrats are very hopeful and the
RAIDS have gotten very blue during
the last few days. 1t ID hard to tell
what the old farmers will do, and
the Democrats are depending large
ly on the Australian ballot system
to help them out. 1t has helped the
party everywhere yet whore it has
been tried. Ohio's regular Repub-
lican majority is about 1000, and
il Mckinley is elected by much less,
it will DC virtually a defeat, but

Sinking of . Transport StsEmer.
CALCUTTA, Nov. 10.-The British con-
vict transport steamer, Enterprise, has
been wrecked by cyclone near the
Andaman islands convict settlement,
and seventy-seven of her crew of eighty
three drowned.
AT the settlement a number of build
ings were unroofed, and for time there
was terrific panic among the convicts
who were in confinement. They i'm
agined that the end of the world had
come and yelled and bawled to be let
loose. The guards, who were badly
scared, had the utmost difficulty in
keeping the prisoners in order. A
number of East Indian convicts.
several Of the guards and two Of the Of
ficers were severely injured by falling
timbers. The loss of the Enterprise is
to form the subject of a government in
quiry. 1t is claimed that the vessel was
not fitted for the work assigned to her.
