Special to TN MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-The Republican
leaders are in hopeful frame of mind and
the DEVELOPMENT of the past two or three
days has strengthened their confidence
greatly. There can be 10 doubt that Mr..
Blaine's speech has helped them msterially.
Their working force at the headquarters in
New York City has been greatly augmented
of late.
Committeeman Martin of Pennsylvania is
looking after the matter of preventing
frauds In New YOrk's vote. He is under
taking this week an enormous task, which Is
nothing less than an exact Escertainment OF
the legal right to vote of every male resident
of New York City. This puts into opera
tion the feature of the ''force BILL" so
called, which was most complained of by
the Democrats-the "house-to-house" can
vass.
New York's election law provides, It
seems, for this. and not only permits a can
vass of this kind, but provides the penalties
for those refusing to answer the questions
of the canvassers. Committeeman Martin
proposes to canvass the entire city during
the present week. tits expected that about
100000 voters will cast their ballots in New
York City, and within the next week the
right of every one OF these to vote will be
definitely ascertalned directly or indirectly.
This will cost large sum Of money and
much labor. There are 1137 election dis
tTicts. and there will be three regularly ap-
pointed cRnYasseTs for every district, max
Ing 34l1 canvassers who will be at work
simultaneously. They will be paid So day,
80 that the amount Of the expense Of the
canyasseTs alone will be S6S22 per day.
There is an enormous pressure being
brought to bear just now On the Irish vote.
kr. Blaine's appeal to the Irish has had
strong effect upon them. Some uufavorable
reports are being brought to the surface
showing the attitude of MIR. Cleveland and
some Of his lieutenantS toward the Irish in
The past.

Rapidly As Heretofore.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE condition OF
Mrs Harrison is unchanged to-day.
II Is said at the White House that she
passed fairly comfortab bic night and this
morning is stronger, brighter and livelier
than at any time within the past three days.
DR.. Gardner paid visit to Mrs. Harrison
al noon. He said although she was better
this afternoon, she nevertheless was stead
lily losing ground. She displayed great
deal of vitality, and was not so exhausted
as the public seemed to think. He thought
she might linger month yet, unless some
Unforeseen complication arose.
The general condition Of the patient to-
night is more gratifying than at any time
for several days past, and the night has
worn on without an incident to increase the
sad feeling of the family circle. The in-
valid has experienced a partial reaction
from the depressed and enervating condi-
tion of the past week and is tIife stronger.

CREM0RNE MEN BOB UP.

An Attempt to Reopen the Crime
Hatchery.
Virtue MAY sleep, but the red eye Of
crime is stranger to repose.
While the good people Of the city were
congratGlating themselves that the Gre
m0rne had been suppressed; while they
were rejoicing that the vile den that -four
ished like upas tree in the heart of the
town had been uprooted and cast into the
bottomless pit, the proprietors of the place
were quietly making ready to resume their
trade under the roof which had so long COW
cred their sin and the shame of their
victims.
The CALL warned the people that the
owners Of the CIemorne. though scotched,
had not been slain; that its proprletors,
deaf TO the denunciations of tens OF thou
sands OF good citizens, would wait until
public sentiment against them had subsidized
and reopen their doors to the unwaTy feet
Of the young. That prophecy has been full
flied.
Not long ago the Cremorne, under the old
management was reopened as dance hall
in which no liquor was sold. But tenn
Derance dance hall is an unpro fitabe thing.
an orchestra without instruments, and Hal
Imam and Homan decided that they would
make another effort to obtain license.
They did not hire a band when they set
out to accomplish their purpose. They did
not notify the people who were opposed to
them, but with great stealth they sought
the Police Commissioners with their peti-
ton.
Applications for licenses to sell liquor are
generally handed to the clerk Of the board,
but this was not done in Hallinan d
Homan's case. They appeared last night
with their attorney, Carroll Cook, in the
anteroom adjoining the hall of the Commits
sioners, who were trying accused officers.
These trials are public, but before and
after them the Commissioners hold execu-
tive sessions. While one Of these sessions
was being held the attorney entered with
the petition and laid il before the board.
In that precious document Halnan and
HOman asked for license to run the Gre
more as a dance hall aud billiard parlor.
The attorneys speech WAS short, but not so
short as the deliberations of the board that
followed.
1t promptly refused TO grant the petition
and ordered its secretary to place it on file.
There it will remain AS specimen of the
phenomenal gall produced by this glori-
OCS climate.

Charges of Illegal naturalization of
Foreigners Against the Democrats.
New YORK, Oct. 17.-There was a scene
of considerable activity about Republican
headquarters to-day. The Republicans
charge that frauds are being perpetrated in
the naturalization process by the Demo-
erats and that runners from Tammany Hall
are bringing In droves Of Hungarians.
Poles and Italians who will vote the Demo-
cratic ticket, and that the expense Of this
is paid and the issuance of naturalization
papers is being facilitated by Tammany.
1t is also stated that there is combina-
tion TO gauge The applications for naturaliza-
ton and cut down the Republican natural
lied vote which has been in operation for
more than three weeks with full knowledge
of the officers of the courts. 1t is charged
further that Republican applications for
naturalization have been rejected on IN
sufficient grounds after spending from six
hours to two days in their efforts TO reach

GLOOM IN ENGLAND.

Starvation Threatening the Poorer Classes in
the Great Cities.
LONDON, Oct. 16.-Death has been devas-
tating the Continent without mercy this
summer. but England must prepare for the
coming OF specter only less terrible. A
great hunger will soon invade Britain.
Signs of its coming are everywhere.
Thousands of skilled workmen in almost
all trades are now idle through no fault of
their own. The evil has grown gradually.
Attention has not been called to it by the
sudden discharge of great bodies OF men.
Working forces have been cut down gradu-
ally and the process Is still going on.
The docks are half deserted. The labor
bureau of the Board of Trade makes
gloomy report OF the situation. The charit-
able agencies have for some time been
sounding an alarm. That the hunger point
has already been reached is indicated by
such incidents as this: A correspondent
day from Holb0rn to Bayswater Two
men followed the vehicle OH foot
almost the whole distance OF three
miles in the hope OF earning
few pence by unloading the baggage.
They ran at brisk trot alongside and
that they were unable at first TO carry the
trunks into the honse. Their weakness
was 80 extreme and the pallOr Of their taces
so unnatural after the violent exercise that
they were questioned. Both said that they
had families and that they had not
tasted food that day. They told the truth.
This incident of following a cab was not
singular.
The army Of unemployed is so large that
no cab bearing baggage drives through the
streets OF London without being followed
by some poor fellow seeking few coins for
food and drink. 1t Is apparent already that
the existing relief machinery will not be
adequate for the emergency Of the coming
winter.
The Coroners have investigated several
cases OF actual death by starvation last
month. Distress Is sure to be acute and
widespread and there will be many pitilul
tales 10 make Christmas holiday more of
sorrow than gladEess.

DENVER. Colo, Oct. 17.-The strike of the
engineers. conductors and trainmen on the
second and third divisions of the Denver
and Rio Grande Railway remains in almost
the same condition as last night. The busi-
ness on the divisions Is almost at stand
still. and the effects Of the strike are felt all
along the line. The men on the first and
fourth divisions are still at work, and it Is
learned that the conductors and engineers
on these divisions will not strike unless
forced TO do so by their superior officers.
Trains were sent out from here to-day,
but got only to Pueblo and Canyon City.
No trains are crossing Marshall Pass or
running on either Of the lines between
Salida and Grand Junction. All the busi-
ness for rAlamosa and Santa Fe goes from
Pueblo via Las Vegas Pass. The passen-
ger business from California is transferred
to the Colorado Midland at Grand junction.
Chairman Vickroy of the Order of Rail-
way Telegraphers said to-day that unless a
settlement Of the trainmen's strike is made
the telegraphers on the Rio Grande would
all come out. The strikers are peaceable
and no disturbance has occurred.
