solid Republican representation. In this
statement include Connecticut, Michigan,
and West Virginia"
Secretary Mckee said: "Our original esti-
mate was that we would have 218 Republi-
can Representatives in the House. l now es-
innate that the number will go up to 225
Our gains have exceeded all expectations.
They warrant the prediction that the Repub-
licans will control the House by majority of
from twenty to fifty, and that is conserva-
tive statement"

moned for jury service have been se-
lected from among the known friends of
the accused, and one juryman. it will be
shown by affidavit, asserted that he
would not convict white man for kill
ing a negro. The attorney.general will
slso move the court to relieve Sheriff
McOarver from duty during the
progress of this case. This
is because of the manner in
which the sheriff has summoned the
juryms and in the manner in which
he has treated the prisoners. The at
torney has learned that since their in
generation both Smith and Richardson
have been taken by the sheriff to the
Kerrville neighborhood on more than
one occasion. But @. H. Carver, son of
the sheriff, ia the prosecuting witness in

Governor Flower willing to Have tho
Matter Tested.
ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. 1.-Governor
Flower is willing to allow experts to
make test to ascertain whether a man
killed in the electrical chair can be re-
suscitated. Ever since the adoption OF
the electrical execution set by the state
the Westinghouse people. whose dyna.
mos are used, have declared electricity
was not the cause of death, but that
death WAS assured by the holding OF an
autopsy directly sf,,r the body had
been taken from the electrical chair.
No less On authority than Nicola Tesla.
the famous electrician, contended he
could bring back to life q man killed in
an electrical chair. provided the at
tempt WAS made Immediately after exc
cution. George Westinghouse has al
ways asserted that electrical death was
q sham, and that New York commits
sion, headed by 4. T. Gerry. had added
the autopsy clause to the law to make it
certain that the man was dead.
Within the last few weeks the agita.
tion of the subject has become promin-
ent and an appeal is to be made to the
governor to allow the next man con-
demned to be used as subject to be ex-
perimented on. The governor says he
will grant permission to do this. If sue
cessful the experiment will bring to life
new man who cannot be executed,
having once suffered the penalty Of
death. 1t will also prove that the state
executioners have been the surgeons
who have held the autopsy rather than
the electrician,

the world the gospel of poverty and
misery which 'our five understood 80
we'll, and for which they had to die. We
did not meet here-and outsnunbered
hosts of workingmen of all countries
are with us here in spirit-to declsre We
will remain solitary with the murdered
men-that we feel bound to continue
the work begun by them until it is
crowned with success, until victory is
obtained"
Most continued at length, reviewing
the labor troubles leading up to the
Haymsrkst massacre. denouncing cap
italists, the police and existing institu-
tions generally. He condemned the
trial of the anarchists as 'farce never
before equalled" and dwelt minutsly on
the imprisonment, last moments and
execution of them. He praised Gov
ernor Altgeld for pardoning those who
were sent to prison, and denounced
Judge Gary for his part in the trial.
In closing he called upon his hearers
to emulate those whose death they were
commemorsting, and said: "Ihus we
will contribute our share to atone for
the death for these and ell other mar
tyrs of the proletsriat and to realize
their ideals-anarchisrn and commun.
ism.'
When he concluded. the members
sang and the crowd dispersed. Then
the anarchist monument was decorated

| WAsHINaToN, Nov. 1.-THE revenue
of the postoffice department for the year
ending June 80, 1894, shows a falling of
while the expenditures have increased
The deficiency for the fiscal year 1895
was s5.0s6. 769, while the deficiency fol
1894 is SO, 243. 533. The increase OF re-
ceipts wss $Sl6, ,434 and the increase oi
expenditures So. .25O. 400. The total ex.
penditure for 1894 is $S4 4,244, Ala, and
the receipts $75.060.479.
The department suffered losses
amounting to s6S, $50 by outstanding bad
debts and compromises with the debtors.
The difference will be made up by ap-
propriations.
Some of the facts regarding the
stamps issued. taken from the report OF
the third assistant postmaster-general,
are interesting. There were issued dur
ing the time the order WAS in force
2,0l4 233 100 Columbian stamps. OF
these 1,464 ASS, $50 were cent stamps
and 449, 1876, $50 l cent stamps. The use
OF the Columbian stamps necessitated a
change in the color of the special deliv-
cry stamps, as there WAS @ great deal OF
confusion over the similarity.
A review of the tranafer of stamp
printing from the American Bank Note
company to the bureau OF engraving and
printing is made. and it is said that,
notwithstanding the complaints made Of
the character of the stamps issued by
the bureau 1t has been successful and
that there will be saving to the
government of s343, ,264 for one year and
$l,443. 1876 for four years. 1t is now
claimed at the department that the
faults in the new stamps complained Of
will be remedied, and that the new
issue will be as good as those furnished
by the American Bank Note company.
The third assistant postmaster general
critioises the act of July Is, 1894, which
allowed admission to the mails as second
class matter publications of benevolent
and charitable associations, mostly
secret society publications. He says
that since that act 46 publications, here
tofore excluded, have been admitted to
the mails, whose aggregate circulation
is about G, 400, 900 pounds. He Gays:
MANY OF these publications are pure.
ly advertising sheets or circulars, but aa
they conform to the law they cannot be
excluded"
There has been falling off in regis-
tered letters during the year 1894 of
1886, the total pieces registered
amounting to l5,050,554. There have
been 1926 complaint cases of registered
packages lost during the year, of which
4269 were investigated by the chief in
spector and 1867 are still outstanding.
OF those investigated there was no loss
in 2433 and loss in 1925. with an actual
loss after being traced of 923.
