MORE LIFE IN THE CAMPAIGN.
Money Flowing More Freely Into Political
Headquartes.

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
NEW YoRK. Oct. Money is now pouring
into political headquarters more freely than at
any time and tremendous pressure is being
made for more. The reports from various cities
show that the republican manufacturers and
business men are beginning to contribute
freely, subscriptions Of $4,000 being made
by business men here and elsewhere The re-
suit lie that carloads Of documents are going out
in every direction. thousands Of speakers are
in the field and the people are at last beginning
to get walked up.
Gov. Mckinley, who il here today, reports
the manufacturing and business element thor
oughly astir and in line and workingmen tax
ing the greatest interest in tariff and state bank
discussions. II becomes more evident as the
weakness Of third party developes that New
York is the real fighting ground. and every
effort will be turned now to getting out every
vote here.
The result Of the recent elections has been to
show the managers of both sides that thew can't
depend on the third party vote accomplishing a
change in any states west or south. The result.
is they are now turning their attention to New
York, and every nerve is being strained to get
favorable results here. Martins denunciation
Of alleged democratic colonization here is the
talk of the town today and shows how
thoroughly and vigorously the field
is being worked by both sides
heglsuation ana plans FOR getting out voters
and preventing frauds will be the chief feature
of work for the next four weeks The distribu-
ton of documents will continue but few DAYS
longer when grand roundup Of voters will
begin. The reports from canvassers thus far
are very encouraging 70 republicans.
Congressman Hemphill is much delighted at
the news from Georgia and Florida. and said
1T Is nothing more than expected; they were
lot Of ordinary citisens who we're elevated to
leaders in a new party. and rapid promotion
in politics gave them an idea they were
going to sweep things. There really never
was any danger Of the south breaking
away from the democratic party The repub-
licans hear Of these local discussions in our diff
ferent states and thought they saw chance to
capture some Of them. Every one in
the south thinks the same way regard
ing tariff reform. The south is fully
in accord with the democratic party and the
platform on that measure. Georgia is only a
fair indication of what Alabama and all
other southern states will do in November
The republicans never did have any chance in
any OF the southern states"

REVISING THE PRAYER BOOK.
Third Days Session OF the Episcopal Gen
eral Convention.

Third Days Session OF the Episcopal Gen.
eral Convention.
BALTIMORE, ND, Oct. THE third day Of
the great Episcopal general conference at
Emmanuel Church opened with half hours
devotional exercises, which were well attended
by mem bers of both houses. The bodies then
separated. After some routine business the
bishops and deputies again met together as
board of mission, at which the missionary
bishops gave an account of their work.
REVISING THE PRAYER BOOK.
The revision of the prayer book will again be
taken up in the house Of deputies today and
the changes recommended by the committee
acted upon. There are still thirty-eight Of
them to be passed upon by this body These
propositions cannot be amended in the slightest
particular. The present convention can simply
accept or reject them. This matter has been
before every convention since 1870, and it is
Rev. DR.. Huntingdon Of New York to whom the
church IL indebted for this movement for
liturgical revision and for the progress which
has thus far been made in this important work.
After working on the liturgy for fifteen years
the convention shows a strong desire to con-
clude the work. DR.. Huntingdon expects that
before the end Of the convention he will be
able to lay upon the presidents table the
standard prayer book for 1892.

From the Postal Record.
During the fiscal year Iss9-'eo the receipts OF
the dead letter Office were some six and a half
million pieces, being an increase of 1000
pieces, or per cent, over the preceding year.
During 1S90-'9l, while it appeared from esti-
mates of the quantity Of matter dispatched
through the mails that there was an increase in
letters alone of $50. 600 000 the increase to
the dead letter Office was but 1000 pieces, or
AZ per cent
During the year Just closed, although the
general volume of the business and operations
of the service have approached 5 per cent in
excess OF the previous year, the usual and even
ordinarily expected increase has not only dis
appeared, but the gratifying fact appears that
there was decrease Of $1,000 or nearly l per
cent, in the number Of pieces sent to the dead
letter Office.
That the mistakes Of the public which hi 80
many instances prevent matter committed to
the mails from reaching its intended destina-
ton and which embarrass and thwart delivery,
continue to confront the service, may be at
tested by the increase Of over IL per cent in
unaddressed letters alone.
While the quantity of matter sent to that
office has for years taxed and pressed the cleri-
cal force provided to it's utmost capacity and
efforts, recourse to extended and increased
hours of labor have at times become necessary
to meet the requirements Of a thorough and
most effective service and the disposition Of ac-
emulation and arrearage Of work. During the
past year, however. without any increase Of
force and wholly within the daily oiiicial hours
Of labor, the Office has had its work at all times
well in hand and practically up with its current
daily receipts.
The report of the dead letter Office for last
year showed that the work had only been dis
posed of by recourse to extra time, and that
over 100. 900 letters in excess OF the previous
year were returned to writer's. The report this
al shox he of m a,
date and an increase Of 225, 900 over last year in
the number of letters returned to writer's.

DR.. Butler, president Of the board of tru stees
of Pennsylvania College. offered q resolution
asking the synod to recommend the co-opera-
ton Of the ministers and church generally with
, the college.
DIR. Albert asked DR.. Butler wherein the
charter of Gettysburg College definitely
fixes the Christian status of that institu-
ton. DR.. Butler explained that the
board exercised their own judgment in the en-
ployment Of professors to fill the chairs Of the
college upon a resolution offered by Rev. NJ. L..
Baird
DR.. Valentine stated at length that the col
lege at Gettysburg is a Lutheran institution
and it is SO considered by the board Of trustees,
If for no other reason from its being inaugu-
rated by Lutherans and nurtured and sustained
mainly by Lutheran money and patronage, al
though by the charter the Lutheran doctrines,
articles Of faith anything of denomins-
tonal character are not taught in the class
rooms of the college

LONDON, Oct. Tt has now been settled that
the funeral services over the remains of Lord
Tennyson will be held in the parish church at
Haslemere on Monday. On Wednesday the re-
mains will be inferred in the poets corner Of
Westminster Abbey, where they will lie next to
the tomb of Browning. There will be a full
choral service at the funeral.
The Times calls Tennyson the English Virgil
on account 'Of his mastery of lofty, graceful
and sonorous voice"
Never since Milton, 1t says, has England
heard as stately blank verse as 1.-THE Idylls OF
the King" He had an eye almost as true and
loving as Homer for the beautiful side Of the
trivlals Of daily life.
The Times understands that Lord Tennyson
expressed the wish that his son Hallam write
his biography.
1.-THE Death Of Oenone' forms the subject
Of the principal poem in the coming volume Of
Tennyson.

Morris and Alfred Austin.

1t is Claimed That Excessive Amount
Has Been Required.
PITTsBURG. Oct. 3.-An appeal is to be made
from the decision of Chief Justice Paxton to
the Allegheny county courts in the matter of
amount Of bail demanded for the charges of
treason lodged against The thirty-three members
Of the Homestead advisory board. Justice
Paxton merely signed the order. ''ex-officio
justice of the peace" in fixing the bail. The
appeal, therefore. will not be an appeal from a
decree Of the supreme court. but simply from
the order Of Judge Paxton as a justice Of the
peace.
The ground of the appeal will be that ex-
cessive bail was demanded. burgess McLuckie
will likely be chooses as the one to make the
test. The appeal will also be argued on the
general act prohibiting excessive bail in cases
where the offense is bailable. This act gives
the poor man just good an opportunity to
secure freedom on bail as the rich man.
