Rair-Making Experiments at Washington
Prove Partially Successful.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-After a dry spell
of many weeks Washington caught light
rainfall last night as the alleged result Of
series of explosions the experts of the Agri-
cultural Department have been causing
near Fort Myer, but the nerye-racking
noises have been too much for people living
near by. and as result of their complaint
the experiments were stopped. so the utility
of the explosions is not really satisfactorily
demonstrated.
For nearly week rain maxi ing expert
ments have been conducted BY the Agricul-
tural Department at Fort Myer. Two Of
the new explosives being tested promise
well. One is of rosellite, powder re-
sembling in appearance moist brown sugar
and smelling like fresh concrete.
1t is the invention of DR.. ROselle and Is
made by mixing one part to seven of chlorate
of potash and asDhaltum oil. It one of the
safest known high explosives to handle,
and can be exploded only by means of de-
tonating fuse. 1t ranks above dynamite
and is cheap. The other explosive is in

expensive oxygen-hydrogen balloon. A

introduced as chairman of the evening and
spoke briefly on the issues of the campaign.
Springer, after the conclusion of his re-
marks, introduced Hon. Adlai E. Steven
SOD. the Vice-Presidential candidate.
In the course of his speech Stevenson
SAID: During Cleveland's term of office no
additional burdens were laid upon the peo-
pie for the benefit of monopolists and rail-
road barons. He left behind him hundred
millions in the treasury, and the question
was what TO do with the surplus revenue.
Now, after three and half years of Repub-
lican rule. the question is where shall the
money come from to run the Government?
This is due to theIMckinley bill and Repub-
lican rule.
The Democratic party realizes that suffi-
cient money must be collected from import
duties to pay the expenses of the Govern
ment; but when more than that is collected
it is 10 less a robbery because it Is done
under the name af legislation. The speaker
continued with remarks on tariff and other
issues. and was followed by Gubernatorial
Candidate Altgeld and others.

REPUBLICAN VICTORY CERTAIN.
Democrats Ready to Concsde the EIec-
tiou of Harrison.

NEW YORK, Nov. Sin spite Of the fact
that registration in New York is favorable
to the Republicans, the indications are that
the State will be very close. A cool-headed
estimate on the Republican majority above
Harlem puts tie figure at $4,000 or 75 coo,
and The Democratic majority below Harlem
just about the same.
Governor Campbell predicts Democratic
success In Indiana by the largest majority
for years. Yet despite these claims of single
States the Democrats seem TO feel generally
that the chances are against them, as all
the combinations must work in their favor
to wiD, while one close State gives the
Republicans success.
Hon; j: II: Manley OF the Republ-
fcan National Committee said tonight:
"The tide for the last ten days has
been hourly turning in our favor and
the committee confidently expect that New
York, Connecticut and Indiana Will vote
for Harrison aud Reid. The South this
time will not be solid for the Democracy
and Cleveland will not receive the electoral
vote of every Southern State.
"The Democrats have practically conceded
that the only chance of electing Cleveland
is TO throw the election into tie House of
Representatives and this hope will be blast
ed. 1t is not believed that the Democratic
party can peTpetuate frauds enough below
the Harlem River to wipe ont the large Re-
publican majOrities that we are sure TO re-

right" as asked
Otis is not a man to submit to being blown
hot aud cold by this Judas of journalism.
He wrote again and scores De Young in
scathing terms, threatens him, and rates
him as a Sinking boy. who has gone and
"pcached" on his friends.
Otis asks him in effect why he hasn't the
grit to stand by his opinions.
He saws, You could have set thousands
OF people right and broken the force of the
howlers and bOyc0tters." Elsewhere be
calls them "conspirators, 'law-breakers,"
"miscreants," being apparently perfectly
confident that Mike would agree with this
view of laborers fighting for their rights.
Otis wakes very indignant about this at
tempt on labor's part to secure a fair wage.
He calls the strikers Reckless; speaks
about their supreme audaeity," mon
strous arrogance" and "amazing incon-
Sistency"; says they have Instituted
vicious boycott" and "hired a venal black
mailer" to help their ends.
All these things. except perhaps the refer
ence to the 'blackmailer," must have de-
lighted Mixes aspiring soul.
He is the Jekyl and Hyde Of the labor
capital fight.
To the workingman he is all smiles of
patronizIng assurances; to the millionaire
he is ali smiles OF ingratiating subservi-
ence.
Neither the one nor the other trust him.
But his true sentiments toward labor are
now irrevocably disclosed.
Over his own signature he expresses,
thinking he was safe in so doing. his innate
contempt for the thousands of teilers by
whose aid he still hopes 10 emerge from OBJ
Scurity.
Mike de Young ha. no use for a working
man.
lie only wants his vote for some of the
candidates pledged to send him to the Sen
ate.
He wants to use what he calls "the small
fry" to catch big fish for himseIf-the
senatorship.
But the people are sick of him and his
friends Kelly and Crimmins, the bosses.
They want to be themselves represented
in the Senate, not to put friend of capital
there who will go pledge TO aid the railroad
and hurt the people on every occasion that
arises.
1t is safe to say that not many votes will
be thrown away next Tuesday for the "Re-
publican" candidates, the friends of De
Young, the foe of labor.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3-The uncertainty
as 10 the general result in Tuesdays strug-
gle continues. What little betting there is
on New York and Indiana is at ODDS in
favor OF Cleveland, while on the general
result the odds may be said TO be about 100
to so in favor of Harrison. There is reason
to believe that the Democrats are very anx-
ious about Alabama and possibly North
Carolina. 1t is understood Senator German
tells his friends he is confident of New York
anC Indiana, yet he does not advise them to
bet anything on the general result. His
closest friends say that he has not bet
cent, and he preferred putting his moneysin
any good stock rather than take chances on
Democratic success.
The Republicans, on the other hand, take
every bet they can get on Harrison, but
fight shy OF bets on any individual States
