CAMPAIGN SENSATIONS.
Both Parties in Massachusetts Filling the
Air With Charges

BosToN, Mass, Oct. a9.-Both parties
are now making use of desperate means
to win The Republicans are doing
their best to secure the liquor vote of
this city, and its attendant strength.
a prominent liquor dealer said TO-DAY
that he had always been a Democrat.
but that he had been obliged this wear
to subscribe S2,00n to the Republican
campaign fund, under threat of losing
his license, and that no knew of manv
others who had received the same treat
ment.
Inc Democrats made a sensation
TO- day by showing up an alleged club in
this city in which the liquor and gam
bling laws arc openly violated. The
place is under tho protection of tho
Republican police commission, and here
n few nights ago meeting in the inter
est of Candidate Allen was hold.
The Democrats to-day also made
another very serious charge. This was
to the effect that the Republican State
committe"'is sending oifSsmany thous-
and circulars in which there is charge
that tho Pope of Rome and the Cath
the American public school system.
Tho public school question is thus
brought up again in its most dangerous
form. The Republican committee has
neither denied or admitted this charge.
The Republicans have raised coun-
ter charge of equal seriousness. They
claim that the Democrats are making
an attempt to solidify the Catholic vote
for Russell by Offering to pledge them
selves to pass. if possible, il the next
legislature, law providing for full text
books for parochial schools. This
movement, it is asserted. started in New
bedford, and hero the Democratic can
didatcs for the senate and lower branch
publicly expressed themselves as favor.
able to tae movement, and pied ged
themselves to support any such measure
If they were elected. These two charges
have created any amount of talk
The members of the long term en-
dcwment orders have jumped into tho
fight in earnest. They held mass
meeting to-day which was very en-
thusiastic and very largely a tended.
At thiH meeting it was declared that
they hay $4,000 votes in the State, and
1t was decided to stand together and
vote only for those candidates who we're
in favor of these orders.
To-day the Republicans appear to be
more confident, although not giving
their reason for such feeling. a great
deal of betting ON the result is going
on, especially at the stock exchange,
and odds of ten to nine are being given
on Aliens election. The Democrats
are working night and day. Gov. Rus
sell has practically given up his official
duties for the nonea, and is making
five and six speeches day.

TROUBLE IN SAMOA.
Van Pilsach Resigns Because He Could
Not be Dictator.

Not be Dictator.
APIA, Samoa, Oct. 15.-[Special l.
Baron Senft Won Pilsach, president of
the municipal council and advisor to
King Maliteo. has resigned. The rea-
son he assigns is that certain white re-
sidents OF Samoa have been writing let
tiers to the king about German cure nov
anu othor matters, and that the king
wrote direct to them in reply. Pllsach
claimed that no one should either write
or speak to King Maliteo before
first securing the presidents permits
sion, thereby actually assuming the
position of dictator Of the islands.
Before he resigned memorial to
three powers had already been prepared
by the consuls of three treaty powers
and will be forwarded. The memorial
petitions the three governments for the
recall of Baron Pilsach on account of in
experience and reckless behavior in
otfice. 1t is also signed by Robert Louis
Stevenson and by nearly all the resi-
dents Of Apia,- with the exception of
some Germans.

close observers that Fassett's greatest
danger is in tho luke-warm support of

Inc Republicans are making eXtraor-

vote down in this city. A close friend
OF Mr.. Plat said onight that every
avenue of fraud was guarded, and he
thought there would be less illegal vot-

The Republican State committee has
500 special detectives at work locating

Democrats say that they are ready to

WASHINGTON CIrr, April 5.-Secretary
Blaine is not yet prepared to make public
anything throwing additional light on the
italian affair. and unless there should be.
contrary to all expectations, another
bombshell, it is probable the Italian en-
tanglement will take the usual tedious
course of diplomacy.
The speed with which this international
correspondence thus far has been con-
Quoted. is said by diplomats to be extra
ordinary. While willing to utilize the
modern methods of the cable and tele-
graph to keep ministers acquainted with
matters of especial Importance, they are
averse to pursuing this course where
declarations of national policy must be
outlined. Now that Secretary Blaine has
succeeded in his efforts to calm the agita-
tion of the Italian government it is cx-
pected the rest will be by the usual mode
Of correspondence, which eliminates to a
great extent all sudden ebulitions of feel
ing and passion.
