VIEWED AT CLOSER RANGE
GENERAL GROsVENOR'S NEIV TlBLE
 GIVES M'KINLEY e9e VOTES.

The Computer is the Man Who Predicted
 McKinley's Nomination at St. Louis,
 and Was But One Vote Out of the Way
 Says the Estimate Is Very Conservative
 One-Doubtful States Represent 51 Votes.
 Washington, Oct. 1S-The following revised estimate has been received from General Grosvenor:
 There have been some significant changes in the situation since my first bulletin, and have taken great pains by the use of all available means, to ascertain substantially what the result is to be. There is yet doubt and un- certainty about some of the states, but l think the following may be safely placed in the absolutely sure column. Mckinley and Hobart will have:
 New England 39; New York, 36; New Jersey, 10; Maryland, s; Delaware, 8; Pennsylvania, 32; West Virginia, 6; Ohio, 23; Indiana, 15; Illinois, 24; Michi- gan, IA; Wisconsin, 12; Iowa, 13; Min nesota, g; South Dakota, &; North Da- kota, 8; Wyoming, 3; Nebraska, 8; Kentucky, IS; Oregon. 4; Washington, f; California, 9, Total, 292
 There are some states which I do not class as sure for Mckinley which be- lieve will give him their vote, to wit: Kansas, 10; Virginia, 12; Tennessee, 12; Missouri, IT, Total, 51.
 The states which do not seem to be doubtful and which must be conceded practically without controversy to Bry- an remain as in my first table, except that Florida has disclosed an uncer- tainty as to her status and think that Texas and Louisiana may be added to the sure for Bryan. North Carolina Is a doubtful state, with chances in fa- vor of Bryan, in my opinion. Thus, we have 292 votes for Mckinley and Ho- bart, with 224 necessary to their elec- tion If they gain in the same ratio as they have gained in the last three weeks this is a very conservative esti- mate of the electoral vote for them"

Reorganization to be mplete-Rallroad
 Will be Severed From Coal Company.

Reorganization to be mplete-Rallroad Will be Severed From Coal Company. Philadelphia, Oct 1S-Plans for the Reading railroad are now almost com plete, and unless hindered by some un- foreseen obstacle the property will be formally turned over by the receivers to the new company on December 1, the beginning of the new fiscal year. The title of the new company will be the Philadelphia and Reading company and its organization will mark an inn portant era in the history of the great corporation, as with its foundation will disappear the old charter, which was one of the most valuable and compre- hensive ever granted by the legislature of Pennsylvania.
 Application will be made for new charter under the laws which will bring the company within the provisions of the new legislation and greatly curtail its powers. The most important change will be the severance of the Coal and Iron company from the railroad com pany Under the broad provisions of the old Reading charter the company was enabled, not only to operate rail- road, but to purchase coal and iron lands, operate the mines, run furnaces and forges and engage in almost any line of business. As far as known now there will be no change in the officers of the two companies, President Har- ris continuing at the head of both rail- road and coal and iron companies.

CZAR'S TOUR OF EUROPE.
All Kinds of Rumors Af1oat Concerning
 His Mission.


 Berlin, Oct. 18.-Out of the multitl1de of conflicting rumors in regard to the czar's tour or Europe nothing can be gleaned that has the stamp of relia- bility. Vienna and Paris are the focus es Of sensational stories, but she sum of the official view here is that the relations of the powers have not been in any respect changed and that the czar will not move from the position Russia. has hitherto held if his action should risk disturbing the European equilibrium. Diplomatic correspond ence and negotiations are still pro- ceeding as regards the best means of dealing with Turkey and in the mean time the sultan continues to transact business at the old stand.
 The Moscow Gazette has asserted that the German government has req son to dread the results of the czar's European tour as tending to break up the dreibund and draw Austria and Italy toward the Franco-Russian alli- ance. Responding to this assertion the Berlin National Zeitung says that the czar's tour rather tends to knit the dreibund powers closer together.

MOB ATTACKS 4 TRAIN
In Its Desire to Lynch a Negro-Several
 Persons Injured.

Persons Injured.
 West Chester, Pa, Oct. 1S.-Edward Brown, the negro who attacked Mrs. Thomas Johnson in suburb of Coates- vile, night before last, was landed in jail at this place at 80 o'clock this morning. When Constable Umstead took the culprit from the loek-up in Coatesville to the railroad station six hundred men surrounded him and it was with the greatest difficulty that he succeeded in placing the negro safely on board the cars. Shouts of hang him" rent the air and several move ments were made by the mob as if to wrest the prisoner from the officers clutches.
 After the officer and his prisoner were seated in the car stones were hurled through the car windows thick and fast and for a time 1t looked as if some lives would be sacrificed, while passengers in the car became terror stricken and rushed in all directions to escape the missiles. One passenger was struck on the head by stone and the whole side of his face was laid open, while a number of others received slight cuts and bruises about the head and body.
 The county authorities and detectives are working on the case and there are likely to be wholesale arrests shortly.

BANCROFT WILL GO THROUGH.
Belief That She Will be Permitted to Pass
 the DardanelIes

London, Oct. 1S.-The Constantinople representative of the United Associated Presses telegraphs that considerable anxiety is felt regarding the condition of affairs in Caesara. On Friday a telegram was received from a promi- nent family in that town saying: eve are alive"
 It is believde in Constantinople that the Washington government has ar ranged with the porte for a peaceable passage of the Dardanelles by the war ship Bancroft. MT. Terrell, the Amer ican minister, has not, however, ap- piled for permission for the passage of guardship since last January when the porte objected to the presence of an American vessel in the Bosphorus on the ground that if the permission should be granted to the United States the smaller nations would follow her ex- ample and ask for guardships.

 Little Vendors.

Little Vendors.
 Detroit, Oct. 1S.-The rule established by William J. Bryan to avoid any pub lie utterances on Sunday was broken tonight, when he spoke briefly to a crowd of newsboys at the Newsboys' hall. He did it to oblige his friend and supporter, Colonel Butler, presi- dent of the Newsboys association. At MT. Bryan's request the affair was kept very quiet and outside of the little ven- dors few visitors only were present.
 This was his speech: Boys, I did not come to make speech tonight, but this is the day that I rest and I have felt the need of having a day of rest more recently than ever before. But care because I never like to de- cline an invitation to be present at any place where an endeavor is being made to do good. And do not know of any work which is better than that work which is done for boys. We were all boys once-and some of us not so very long ago-and when I see boys I am reminded of what one of our presidents, I think it was Garfield, said: That you could not tell what possibilities were buttoned up under the best of a boy
 We are not ourselves responsible for the surroundings of youth. We are born into this world and the surround ings meet us and to certain extent they affect us But by that we have much to do with shaping our own course What we amount to depends upon the ideas we have. A meeting of this kind where they teach you patriot ism, where they teach you regard for each other, respect for each others rights necessarily elevates your ideas gives you broader views of life and those views will help you to accom- plish more'

 Washington Vile Trnffickers.
 Madrid, Oct. 1S.-The Imparcial says that Spain should demand from the United States an explanation of the dispatch from Washington published by the New York Herald to the effect that unless Spain ends the war in Cuba before January 1 President Cleveland will recognize the independence of the insurgents. The Imparcial adds that the neutrality observed at the ports of the United States is an odious fiction and there is continual ccnnivance at flibustering. It recalls that the Am erican consul general at Havana pro- tected a Spanish deserter and con- cludes:
 If Spain should remain alone in a conflict with the United States Span iards by their own efforts will know how to mark the difference between the noble defenders of their own prop erty and the vile traff1ckers at Wash ington."

He expects to be all right to- morrow, however.
 Thompson, Ga., Oct. 1S-Populist Committeeman Reed and Washington arrived here to-day and went to the home of MT. Watson. Tonight they were seen in company with MT. Wat son at his home, and MT. Washmburn, speaking for all three, said:
 We have nothing to give out to the public We have spent quiet day in private consultation. The newspapers seem disposed to attach a significance to our visit to MT. Watson that is hardly justified by the circumstances. If there should be anything of a public nature resulting from our conference or any statement regarding any future steps in the campaign that we desire to give to the newspapers, we will do so tomorrow in Atlanta"
 Mir Watson has declined all along to say anything concerning the text of his letter of acceptance.
