THE WHY AND THE WHEREFORE.
Prominent Men Give Their Views of the
Political UpheaFal.

Washington, Nov. S.-No expressions
of opinion on the elections yesterday
are to be had from members of the
administration. The president stayed
out at Woodley, presumably to work
on his message.
Secretary Herbert was at the depart
ment but short time this morning,
and Secretary Gresham declined to ex-
press an opinion. Prominent Demo-
cratic leaders at the capitol are pecu-
Iarly reluctant TO assign the particu-
lar cause of the Republic landslide and
Democratic defeat.
Chairman Savers, of the appropria-
lions committee, seemed cheerful and
said with a laugh: THE principal rea-
son seems to be that we did not get
enough votes There may have been
some other particularly and incidental
reasons, but we did not get enough
votes. and that is about all there is to
say about it. The committee on appro-
priations did not cause it, anyhow.
We can prove an abb:
Chairman Wilson, OF the ways and
means committee, said: 81 am mighty
glad it came now instead of later in
the administration. The election in
Virginia shows the Populist uprising
has not gained Roadway. AS soon as
Democratic measures can be taken to
restore the prosperity of the country,
everything Will be all right again
Ex-senator Malone, OF Virginia
said he regarded the result as an &C
Acknowledgement on the part of the peo-
ple that they had made mistake IN
putting Cleveland in the White House.
Ex-Congressman Ben Cable, of II
Tnois. said: "As to the general causes
the business depression is perhaps.
the most potent The pubic seemed
TO blame these conditions upon the
party in power. I hold that the ad-
1ninistration and the Democratic party
are not responsible for business con-
ditions that grew out of the pernicious
LEGISLATION enacted by the Republican
party"
Judge Loehren, commissioner of pen
sions, said: 1T is the natural result
of hard times. Unthinl0ing people
have charged the financial troubles to
the party in power"
First Assistant Postmaster-General
Frank Jones, said: The Democratic
party will toe the scratch next time
Blows of this character cannot phase
it. A knockdown with the Demo
cracy only acts as a tonic. The re-
suit is due to local causes. The re-
suit Of Ohio was one of the most i'm
portance. Tt brought Mckinley once
more into popular view as a political
success and raised his prospects as a
chunk of presidential timber
Representative Burrows, of MicIii-
gan said the general result indicated
the laboring people of the country
were undoubtedly opposed to free
trade, as advocated by the Democratic
party In Ohios the issue was squarely
on the tariff and the enormous vic
tory showed how strong the public
sentiment is on that subject.
Representative Mcmillan. Of Tennes-
see. said that no one well posted on the
subject looked for d victory in Ohio.

was not due TO tariff agitation. for nc

THE STEAMER FRASER.
Only Smoke stack Remains Above the
Water.


North Bay, Ont, Nov. s.-The fol-
lowing is a partial list of those known
to have been drowned by the burning
of the steamer Eraser on Lake Nip
issing yesterday: Captain w. Carr,
Matthew Brennan, ]. Sutherland, All
Barbeau, William Storey, Thomas Os-
borne, Alex Douglass, John Haw.
Isaac Shaw John Smalley, Tom Mas
Sey. Tom Bowers, Tom Sheriff, James
Mccain, and seven others whose
names are not known. The steamer
was owned by Davidson. Hay & Co,
of Toronto, and was bound for Franks
Bay with supplies for lumbermen. She
caught fire about three miles from
Goose Island and a panic must have
ensued, as only seven lives were saved
out of twenty-seven or twenty-eight-
The fire was witnessed from Franks
Bay by Captain Burritt and a young
Indian. They Immediately put off in
a. boat, but by the time they reached
the spot the steamer had burned to
the waters edge and the seven sur
vivors had reached the top of the scow
which was in tow. The hull of the
boat sank in about twenty-five feet
of water, and ali that now marks the
spot of the catastrophe is a short
piece of the smoke stack which appears

MEN AND ARMS FOR BRAZIL.
seamen and Engineers are in Great De-


Washington, Nov. S.-James P.
Satchell, the well known steamship en-
gineer of this city, says there is no
doubt that Flint & Co., of New York,
are procuring men and engineers for
the Brazilian service. He says:
clint & Co. have been corresponding
with a number of seamen and engi-
neers in this city, among them my
self, trying to make arrangements to
ship US. They want engineers badly,
and in their letters to me have stated
that they will pay 500 a month and
$500 advance money. When we en-
list we have to give up allegiance to
the United States and swear allie
glance to Brazil. When we arrive in
Brazil, we are supposed to have an op-
tion whether or not we enter the gov
|ernment service"
An official of the state department
has distinctly asserted that the de-
partment is not authorized to take the
initiative in such a case as this, even
|if the neutrality laws are being vio-
Hated. The resort is the courts.
The statement which has been pub
Ilished that men are being enlisted in
this country by representatives of the
Brazilian government to put down the
instruction is emphatically denied by
ISenor Mendonca, the Brazilian min
lister. When questioned tonight by a
of the Associated Press,
Mr.. Mendonca said: II the Brazilian
government desired to enlist men in
the United States they would have
sent a special officer for that purpose.
TO enlist men otherwise would be
Iagainst the laws and regulations of
Brazil. The legation has no power to
lenlist men. The Brazilian government
has no intention of sending an enlist
ling officer here. 1t is certainly the
intention to employ capable and skill
ed men to take charge OF the muni-
lions of war. Flint has a contract to
transport these articles safely to Bra

10 per cent. of the Democrats. In
spite of this, the Populist vote shows

The Democratic Majority Will Reach

Richmond. Va. Nov. S-The returns
of the election in this state yesterday
have all been reported by majorities,
and therefore it is impossible to tell.
even approximately. the number of
votes cast. Two things are certain,
however. One is the Democrats did
not poll their usual strength, and
the other the Republicans did not
support the Populists. The returns
indicate that the Democrats have car
ried twenty-three senatorial districts,
the Populists one, and one district is
still in doubt. The Democrats have
fifteen members in the senate who
hold over. OF the members elected to
the house, the Democrats probably
have 80 out of the 100 elected. The
indications are the Democratic major
ity in the state will reach $4,000.

THE CHINESE DEPORTATION.
Morrow's Action Somewhat of a Surprise
to the Department. of Justice.

Washington, Nov. S.-The action of
Judge Morrow. of San Francisco, in
taking under ADJUSTMENT the telegram
of Acknowledgement Olney, directing
in view of the amendments to Geary
act the release of the Chinese held
for deportation under the original act,
was somewhat of surprise to Of
fcials of the department of justice
The only reason they give of the
judges action is a desire on his part
to await the receipt of a copy of the
amended act before passing upon the
order of the district attorney, to as
certain if it bears out the interpreta-
ton placed upon it by the attorney
general concerning the release of the
prisoners. Technically, they say his
action would be proper and regular,
though they fail to see how any other
construction of the act can be arrived
at. No communication on the subject
has been received by the department
from the district attorney. A printed
copy of the act should reach San
Francisco il a few days.

brothers assisted him. The trio have
been camping out luxuriously in Ten

Americans in Hawaii Are Not at all
Anxious for Native Rule

San Francisco, Nov. S.-The Chron-

the most prominent Americans resid-

lished reports of President Cleveland
intention to restore Queen Liliuokalani
to the throne, this gentleman, while
not saying so, directly, hints that
Americans in Hawaii will make a des-
perate resistance to any attempt to
turn the islands over to native rule
again, after predicting bloodshed would
surely follow any such an attempt.
