Identity of the Vessel Lost on Lake Huron
Still n Mystery.
EAST TAwAs, Mich, Nov. 12.-Not
even a pencil mark could be found on
the wreckage which has been thrown
up on the beach by the storm near Fish
point, five miles north of here on Lake
Huron. The identity of the. steamer
which went to the bottom somewhere
off that point Thursday or Friday re-
mains a mystery, even after many
hours hunting over the wreckage for
her name. Everything which has been
thrown up on the beach indicates that
the steamer was of the largest size, as
the broken timbers are all of great
strength. In this case she probably
had crew of about 20, all Of whom are
undoubtedly lost. The wreckage is
strewn along the beach for distance
Of two miles. No marks whatever can
be found on the timbers and planks,
but when the sea runs down more may
be learned.

WASHINGTON, Nov Ex-senator PEI
fer has arrived from Kansas. Dis
cussing the result .of the recent elec-
ton, he said the Populists had no
reason to feel discouraged.
"What we have lost in congress-
men," he said, 1--WE have more than
made up in votes. The reports gener-
ally published would lead people to
suppose that we had suffered q material
loss in all respects III Kansas Such l.;
not the case. In 1890 We had aEou,
105, 600 votes in that state, III 1892
about l13,0oo, and III the late
election from 10000 TO 125, ,OOJ,
in the face Of the fact that about
10000 of our voters had left the state
on account of the droulh. We lailed in
the election Of officers because we were
not paired with the Democrats, but we
have every reason to feel encouraged
for the future. In the country at large
l feel confident that when the returns
are footed up, they will show our total
vote to be little less than 100000,
which is about twice the Populist vote
Of two years ago."

HAVE SPENT THEIR FURY.

Tennessee and Arkansas Forest Fires
Dying Out.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. l2.-The forest
fires in Arkansas and Tennessee north
of Memphis have about spent their
fury. The flames have burned to the
banks of the Mississippi river and
stopped. The damage by the fires re-
ported was small, being confined to the
destruction of few fences around plan
tations on the Arkansas side OF the
river. There are still no signs OF rain
and apprehensions are felt that fires
will break out in other regions. The
St. Francis basin is as dry as chip and
lumbermen fear that if fires should get
a start In that section the losses would
be heavy. The smoke is disappearing
from the city and river traffic is unim-
peded.

RACK TO LIFE.
Test to Be Made to ReSuSCi.
tate a Person Killed In the
Electric Chair.
GOVERNOR FLOWER WILLING.
Electrical Death a Sham-DOC'
tors Autopsy the Real
Cause.

ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. Ex-Governor
Flower is willing to allow experts to
make a test to ascertain whether man
killed in the electric chair can be re-
suscitated. To the Associated Press
representative he made this statement
when his attention was called to the
printed allegations that certain physi-
clans would ask for such permission:
Il am perfectly willing to allow the
experiment to be made if it is in my
power under the law. think it would
be good thing to have this long stand
ing controversy settled at once and for
ever"
Ever since the adoption of the elec-
trical execution act by the state the
Westinghouse people, whose dynamos
are used, have declared that electricity
Was Not the Cause of Death
but that death was assured by the hold
ing of all autopsy directly after the
body was taken from the electrical
chair, No less an authority than Nicola
Tesla, the famous electrician, contended
that he could bring back to life man
killed in an electrical chair, provided
the attempt was made Immediately
after electrocution. George Westing-
house has always asserted that electrical
death was a sham and that New
York commission. headed by Elbridge
T. Gerry, had added the autopsy clause
to the law so as to make it certain that
the man was doad. Within the last
few weeks the agitation Of the subject
has been prominent and an appeal is to
be made to the governor to allow the
next man condemned
To lse Used AZ u Subject
to be experimental on. The governor
says he will grant permission to do this.
The attempt, il made, will undoubtedly
create great excitement and in'
tense interest in the scientific world. 1t
will also arouse curiosity among lny-
men, because if successful it will bring
to life man who can not be again ex'
ecuted, having once suffered. the pen
atty of death. 1t will also prove that
the state executioners have been the
surgeons who have held the autopsy
rather than the state electrician.

the Party. Is

New YORK, Nov. 12.-In letter to
The Press from Washington, Hon.
William L. Wilson of West Virginia,
chairman of the committee on ways and
means, gives his views of the causes Of
Democratic defeat in the recent cleo.
ton. After declaring that it is neither
discrete nor a dignified thing for a
member of defeated party to attempt
to explain his own or his party's defeat,
he said:
"None the less, however. it is the
duty of the Democratic party after such,
a reverse to make deliberate, honest
and unsparing scrutiny into the
cause and forces which wrought its
overthrow, and into the condition on
which it may gain it's ascendency with
the American people. =
"Undoubtedly there were local influ.
ences as there were individual candida
cies and factional fights, that con-
tributed to, and emphasized the general
result, but it must be admitted that
there were strong forces everywhere
operative, that really shaped and
Brought About That Result.
And the greatest of these forces was the
severe industrial impression that for
year or more past has hardened the lot
and made anxious the lives of large
section Of our people. Hard times is an
enemy before which no politicnl party
in America has been able to make a
successful stand while in power.
"This is, and perhaps will be, weak
point in popular government. When
labor is out Of employment, when farm
products are low, when our financial
system is disorganized, the wisest ad-
ministration Of government and the
most wholesome laws do not avail to
save party from temporary and
disastrous overthrow. f
II do not accept the view that tariff
reform has suffered a defeat, because !
have not anywhere found Republican
candidates advocating a repeal of fthe
law. They have denounced it i'll gen.
eral, are declaiming against some rates
which they deemed locally objectiona-
BILE, but no where presented an affirma-
tive platform demanding its repeal and
q return to prior conditions"
