TO FLY THE STARS AND STRIPES.
Fast American Steamers For the
Pacific Malls Service.

NEW YORK. October 1s.-The officials of
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company today
announce that 1t has been decided to issue
S3,OoO,0O0 debenture bonds for the purpose Of
building three new steamers for the China
trade If the company succeeds in obtaining
the contract for mail service from the govern
ment. The steamerswill be of first class speed
and equipment, but will not be of the ex-
tremely heavy tonnage called for by the re-
quirements Of the first class subsidy pay
ments under the new law. They will. how
ever. be the largest and fastest steamers
ever put on the Pacific ocean. II is under
stood that negotiations have been closed be-
tween the Pacific Mail and the Occidental
and Oriental Company, by which the latter
company will discontinue operations, leav
Ing the Pacific Mail alone In the field. The
last named company will then double its
service, making 26 trips per year hereafter
President j. B. Houston Of the Pacific
Mall says In regard to report Of new stock
issue: "Ihe company has not decided to
issue any bonds, but may do so should Inn
portant contracts be secured to warrant
such issue. The company was never In bet
ter condition and the fleet never better
equipped than at present. Ii 1t were rail-

NEWS OF THE BUCKEYE STATE BATTLE,
Republicans Everywhere Aggressive
and Confident Of Victory.
Sugar and Tin Lend PIcturesqueness
to the Campaign.
State Issues Disregarded In the Dis
cussIon OF National Topics.

NEW YORK, October ia special from
Columbus, Ohio. to the New York Press
says:
There are many amusing features in this
campaign in Ohio. Although the skirmish
has been going on for almost two months
the real battle is to be fought from today.
In about fortnight the decision Of the fight
ers will be rendered. and the country may
we'll wait for the climax of what may be
Justly called the phenomenal canvass In
Ohio, among the many remarkable ones.
Until very recently little has been heard Of
the Democratic nag Its trainers preferred
a waiting race. The Republicans have In
consequence been getting the best Of the pic
torial part of the campaign up to this hour.
Hence they have dominated the situation,
simply waiting for the Democratic gladiator
to throw his challenge into the ring. He Is
here now, and to stay.
The campaign on the Republican side has
been conducted with vim that has never
before been known In this state. Their plan
of battle has been picturesque and telling
one. They are also fortunate In having a
candidate whose personality has added a
great deal to their natural energy. The roll
ing In a barrel OF sugar on the platform as
a practical exhibit OF the Republican policy
and OF the American TIN tnaL is along every
fence corner are good campaign thunder and
have helped to fill the average Republican
mind with good deal Of confidence In his
party. In other words, the men who repre-
sent Major Mckinley, or. perhaps, 1t would
be better to say. whom Major Mckinley rep
resents, are the aggressors, and therefore
have the call on the ambitious end of the
campaign.
have never seen a campaign In which
state issues played so small part. Some Of
the speakers, like Gov. Foraker. are trying
to create some enthusiasm upon them; but
people seem to take very little interest in
them and turn instinctlvely to the economic
and financial questions that are so much
talked about You hear great deal In the
East about the discords In the Democratic
party, and that Gov. Campbell Is going 10
lose here and there. l do not find any such
spots, except perhaps where the indications
are that his loss will not be very heavy.
Therefore the two candidates start In the
last month ef their battle with very clearly
defined positions, with the Peoples party as
a scrub against two tharoughbreds. That
the lame morse will be able to interfere with
the two game ones / do not believe, and this
judgment extends to the legislature as well
as TO the Governor. There are only two
parties to this contest that are worth consid-
ering.

The Portland Ministers Association held
monthly meeting at the Y. NJ. G. A. rooms
yesterday forenoon the subject for discuss
ion being:
us the trend Of thought In the church of
today away from or towards demo minaton-
alism?"
Rev. Mr.. Whitman opened the discussion.
He said that there were two elements In de-
nominalism. namely sectarianism, which iu-
cluded all that was narrow and bigoted. and
denominalism proper, which embraces those
things that made the denominations what
there were, suitable for different orders of
human nature. The former. he thought. was
dying out. and rightly so, while the latter
was as strong. IL not stronger, than ever be-
fore. He spoke Of the many great things
that denominations had done In the line Of
evangelizing and educating the nation.
These things could not be allowed to drop IL
they would, and were growing at such a
rate that they could not be stopped. Mr..
Whitman thought the UNCONVENTIONAL spirit
while strong was kindly spirit now, each
seeking out the common good In all and ig-
noring all things that Jared occasionally.
The place where the old spirit was still
strong, and where the best efforts of all
should be devoted toward breaking It up were
the smaller towns where there were barely
people enough to support one church decent
ly. and yet where there were dozen, more or
less. He thought that the best effo rts of every
Christian person should be used toward dis
couraging the establishment Of any more
churches except where there are people
enough to support them fttingly.
Rev. Dwight M. Pratt followed Mr.. Whit
man, speaking in the same vein. He was
glad that he was CongregationalistI when
this matter was under consideration, because
he thought his denomination had done as
much as any to make the nation what 1t was
and yet he was glad Of what all the others
had done. He spoke Of the missionary work
at home and abroad, and then said he was
glad to be In the most liberal denomination
Of all, instancing the giving up OF the West
to the Presbyterians and then holding up
their hands loyalty In their work.
Rev. DR.. Dalton also spoke in the same
spirit. He thought that the old rampant
spirit Of antagonism Of church to church
was dying out and rightly so. He said that
| the movement was Of the utmost Importance
| In the country towns where these unfortu-
nate divisions had first wrecked the original
church and then wrecked the resultant side
churches. leaving nothing now but number
Of vacant churches. He deprecated the be-
lief that one denomination would ever
swallow up the others and become the church
alene. saying that all would grow together
| and do good work.
Rsv. s. f. Dixie, ID. D., Of Bath, spoke of
| his trip around the world, and noticed the
many courtesies extended to him by people
| of all denominations everywhere.
The matter Of preparing some resolutions
| upon the approaching removal of Mr.. Bay
ley from the city was laid over until the next
| meeting

ed as to be unrecOgniZable, AMI the acid had

not learn Of the affair until nearly midnight,
when search was made. and false nous
tache was found few feet from the steps,
A broken bottle that had contained the acid
and a whole bottle filled with the same fluid

identy Of the man could be found, and no

ter TO United States Minister Egan. The
Spanish minister Is acting In conjunction
with Mr.. Egan. The sailor Of the United
States steamship Baltimore, killed by Chill

more and the authorities Of Valparaiso, are
investigating the cause Of the trouble. IL

slaught was peculiarly brutal. The ChllIans
were all armed with knives and pistols and
the Americans had but few weapons and
were slow In using them. Gillian sailors,
boatmen and others about the water front

Americans. making all manner Of threats.
The better class OF Gillian people every

ALBANY, October 19.--It will be a surprise
to many to learn that all but Is Of the "A
states In the Union will, in November. vote
some form or other Of the Australian ballot.
The Is states are: Alabama, Colorado,
Florida, Geogia, Idaho, Iowa. Kansas, Ken
da, North Carolina, North Dakota, South
Carolina, South Dakota, Texas and Virgin
la. The next legislature of Kentucky will,
under the new constitution adopted last

move to enact the reform, Maine having
passed law to take effect next year.
