NEW York, Nov. 5.-The World says

county committees throughout the
state. 1t prints a table giving resume
of the claims made by both parties as
to expected pluralties for Hill or Nor

the views taken by the chairman Of the
various Democratic county committees,
David B. Hill will win by 21,S25 plur-
ality, while the chairmen Of the Ropub-
ican county committees, having charge
Of their party's canvass in the GO coun-
ties comprising the state, claim that
Levi p. Morton is to be the next gov
ernor. They figure that he will have
56025 plurality. The World continues:
''In most cases the representatives OF
both committees agreed as to their
county going one way or the other, al
though, OF course, their figures varied.
According to the Democratic esti-
mates, Morton, it is conceded, will
carry the state outside Of New York
county by about 80. 176. The Repub'
icans claim that Morton's plurality
above the Harlem bridge will be about
100, $50.
I'm other words, if Hill is to be the
next governor, he will have to carry
New York county by about 10000, ac-
corling to the Democratic estimates, or
by upwards of 100000 if tho Repub-
lican figures rs to the probable result

LONDON, Nov. GA bomb exploded
during the evening outside house in
Tilney street, Park Lane, two doors
from the residence of the Hon. Sir
Henry Hawkins, one Of the justices of
the Queens bench division Of her
majesty's high court of justice. The
front of the house was much damaged
and the windows Of houses on the op-
posite side of the street were smashed.
The explosion occurred shortly after IL
o'clock. The house was occupied, but
nobody was hurt. The force of the
explosion must have been great as the
door of the house was blown in and the
stone steps shattered.
Justice Hawkins is the judge who
sentenced Frederick Charles, Victor
Gales, Joseph Thomas Duncan and
Jean Battolla, the Wallsan anarchists,
to various terms of imprisonment. He
also presided at the trials Of other an
archists and imposed sentences o: vari-

in some quarters that the explosion was
an attempt to secure revenge against
the Judge, but that the author OF it
made mistake in the number of tho

LONDON, Nov. ga dispatch to The

Wong-C Ching was burned by the Chi
nese. The defense Of the road to Mouk-
den, has collapsed. General Sung, with
the remnant of his army, is in the
Mathienling pass, between Fung- Wong

The dispatch adds that the Japanese
cleverly effected a landing at Pitzwo

stration against the opposite coast Of
Shantung. They cut the telegraph,
thus preventing the news from reach
ing the Chinese admiral. A Chinese
fleet, consisting of IA warships and a
torpedo fotilla, afterwards started to
attack the Japanese, but was recalled.
It is believed that the government is
reserving the feet for more important
service.
The Japanese entered Fung- Wong

resistance and the Japanese were soon
masters of the place. In the meantime
the Japanese fleet which had conveyed

Talienwan and Kayenko: The firing
scarcely ceased for many hours. Gov

BALTIMORE, Nov. 5.-Cardinal Glib
bons preached at the Cathedral Sunday
on Christian unity. He said:
"Thank God there is yearning d.
sire for the reunion Of Christianity
among many noble and earnest souls.
This desire is particularly manifest in
the English speaking world. 1t is
manifest in England and in the United
States. I myself have received several
letters from Influential Protestant min
listers expressing the hope Of reunion
and inquiring as to the probable basis
Of reconciliation. Reunion is the
great desire of my heart. have longed
and prayed for it during all the years
Of my ministry. I have prayed that as
we are bound to our brethren by social
and family, and by natural and COM
mercial ties, SO may we be united with
them in the bonds Of common faith.
"The conditions Of reunion are easier
than are generally imagined. OF
course there can be no compromise on
faith or morals. The doctrine and
moral code that Christ has left us must
remain unehangable, but the church
can modify her discipline to suit tho
circumstances Of the cause.
"May the day be fastened when the
scattered hosts of Christendom will be
reunited. Then, indeed, they would
form an army which infidelity cannot
long resist, and they would soon carry
the light and faith of Christian civiliza.
tion to the most remote and benighted
part of the glObe.'
