FROM DER THE SEA
England Is Wild at the Inter-
ference of America
REGARDING lRlSH-AMERlCAN
Political Prisoners While the Marquis Of
Caprivl VIII Settle Bismarck.

LONDON, Nov. 5.-The interference
Of the Washington government IN be-
half of the rish-AmericAn political
prisoners has not been we'll received at
the bone office. Home Secretary
Asquith 10 SAID to have remarked that
1t was gross piece Of impertInence,
while Sir William Vernon Harcourt,
who was home secretary when the men
were convicted, denounced the Ameri.
can government In even stronger ian
guage. Mr.. Gladstone. however. was
IN favor OF treating the United States
with some consideration, and accord
ingly = respectful reply is to be sent to
President Harrlson's appeal.
The marquis of Lorne is said to
really have the poet laureate bee buzz
ing IN bis Highland bonnet. He is
rumored TO be writing u poem, ad-
dressed to his mother-in-law, Queen
Victoria, In which he fiatters her IN a
style that ought to make the old lady
remember him in her will. even if she
does not succeed in inducing Mr.. Glad
stone TO appoint him poet laureate.
Prince Bismarck's attacks upon the
military bill OF his successor, Count
Won Caprlvi, has not received the ex-
pected applause from the gallery TO
which the aged statesman Is playing.
His technical criticisms as TO the ofti-
cerIng and drilling Of the army, are
acknowl, 4 !ed TO concern one of the
few matters on which he Is absolutely
disqualified TO give q competent opin-
ion, and his friends are wondering how
he could have been SO tatuous as to
expose his weakest side TO such q
military authority as the present chan
cellor.
Won Capriyi Will Get Back.
Count Won Caprivi will not let the
opportunity to smlte his predecessor
and political enemy Iass unimproved.
He has already given his orders Tor a
reply to Bismarck's attack, and ON
Monday or Tuesday the Nord Neusche
Allgemnine Zeitung Will contain the
most singing rebuke that the ex-chan-
cellor has yet received.
Journalists at Varsin have endeav-
Ored In vain recently to learn Bis
marck's Intention as to entering the
reichstag this winter. Two or three
months ago he WAS ready enough with
remarks indicating that he would be
on hand to lead in person
the attack on the government,
but now he is silent as to hie
plans. There is little doubt that this
change is due to his fear of being
worsted IN conflict with Caprivi ON
the military bill. Caprivi IS an easier
and quicker debater than Bismarck.
and mis- knowledge of military affairs
would give him immense advantage on
the floor. Bismarck's friends have
dwelt upon these points while trying
to persuade hlm to stay at home this
winter, and apparently they haye done
SO with effect. Should he nevertheless
decide to break lances with CaprIvi he
will, 1t is believed, suffer the most igno-
miniOus defeat of his life.

National Commitise Claims 2Io Electoral
Votes Without Five States.
New YORK, Nov. 5.--The Hon. Lee
McComass, secretary of the republican
national committee, being asked what
he thought would be the result on
Tuesday night, replied: II feel very
confident that Harrison and Reid Will
be elected. Omitting Nevada and five
electoral votes in Michigan, repub-
Leans count on 2l0 electoral votes
without West Virginia, Connecticut or
New York. We have by far the better
cnance TO win the 63 electoral votes of
those four states, while we need bat
thirteen of them. We are doubly con-
fident, therefore. of the election Of
Harrison and Reid"
1t was announced today at republi-
can headquarters that In view OF the
alleged colonization schemes ia this
city, corps OF men would be sent into
the various districts, from the Battery
10 the Bronx, with kodak cameras, TO
take photographs of every repeater
who goes TO the polls TO vote illegally.
The republican national committee
today sent out the following telegram
to all the cha.rmen of republican state
committees:
"With full republican vote all along
the line on Tuesday next, you may be
assured of more pronounced victory
than has occurred since the soldier
statesman General Grant led the ticket
in 1868. Driven to desperation the
democratic lieutenant governor of this
state has issued a proclamation incit-
ing evil disposed persons 10 employ
revolutionary methods. The law abld-
ing people or this state will resent such
unpatriotic appeals" Signed
"THoMAs ;. CARTER. Oh airman.
"LEwIs MCCoaAss, Secretary"
The Hon. Garrett Hobart is a mem
ber of the national republican commit
tee and q member of the New Jersey
state republican committee. When
asked as to the probable outcome of
the election IN New Jersey he said:
"My hopes that New jersey would be
found on the side of the republicans
have never been better than they are
at present. i think the republicans
have very good chance OF electing
their electoral ticket, and feel conf
dent of the election of kean.

QUIET AT NEW ORLEANS.
No Arrangement Has Been Made With
Strikers

Strikers.
NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 5.-At 3 O'Clock
this evening the street car drivers all
left work and tied up all the lines IN
the city. The cotton handlers did not
90 out and the gas workers are still at
work. The electric workers are still at
work, but will hold meeting tonight.
There have been no reports of serious
violence and the city Is remarkably
quiet considering the number of idle
men on the streets.
The theaters were all minus orches-
tras At both matinees and night per-
formsnces. The conference between
the merchants committee and the body
from the amalgamated council ad-
jourped until tomorrow at III O'Clock,
without taking action. The question
between them Is the agreement OF the
men to return to work before the Ques-
ton of the demand Is considered. The
merchants are willing to arbitrate with
the union If they will send their men
back to work. while the strikers de-
mand that all the differences be settled
before the men return to work. One
of their demands Is that none but
union men shall be employed.
