MANLEY'S SAFE PREDICTION,
Maine's Committeeman Gives
 Mckinley 295 Votes.
He Also Predicts Republican Ma jority in the Senate and House Now Only Forty Two Doubtful States Left.

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-The Times prints a forecast made by Republican National Committeeman Joseph H. Manley Of the electoral vote for Mo Kinley and Hobart, as we'll as a prog nostigation of the United States senate and the house of representatives, as they will be organized on March 4. 1897.
 His forecast of the election vote is as follows: Mckinley and Hobart, 295; Bryan, 110; doubtful, 42.
 Mr Manley has hitherto declined to make an estimate of the November re- suit and has consistently preserved silence as regards any forecast intend ed for 'dhe public. He is aconservasive man, as well as a shrewd politician, and never makes a statement or gives figures unless he has weighed every point carefully. For this reason the foregoing statement, the first he has made during this campaign, will have great value. j.
 'It is impossible to defeat Major Mckinley" says Mr Aanley. eff in the remaining days before election the Republicans and sound money Dem ocrats throughout the land continue to give their most enefgetics efforts to- ward the success of athe Republican party, the victory will be just what we need-a sweeping one. AS Senator Quay so wisely said, srhe election is ours, and we mean to hold it.
 fs"nhe past week has shown without a doubt that the current is steadily setting in favor of the election of Mo Kinley and Hobart, in the great north west and in the border southern states. The statement as to the result, as giv- en to the public by Senator Quay, was a very conservative one, made upon the fullest information from every state and after the most careful consultation with all the members of, the National committee here in New York;
 Referring to the senate, MT. Manley made the following statement. over his signature: ~zsf ..5., .t.ts.....
 "On the 4th of March next there will be twenty-nine senatorial vacancies to be filled Of the FiftySnineS senators whose terms do not xpse at that time twepty-nine are Republicans, twenty four are Democrats and six are Popu- lists, including senators Cameron and Fettigrew. There is one vacancy in Delaware and one in Kentucky. The vacancies in these two states wifi be filled the coming winter.
 "Of Hhese twenty-nine vacancies tAe Democrats will have seven, making their full number thirty-one. The Populists will have three, making their total strength nine. The Republicans will have seventeen, making their full number forty-six, leaving Delaware, Kentucky, Kansas, and Utah in doubt. Even if these four are thrown into the Democratic or Populistic columns, it will still leave the Republicans ma jority of two over all. :,
 But the probabilities are that we shall have a majority of six over all, or forty-eight Republican senators who can be relied upon at all l;imes to vote for purely Republican measures, irrespective of any free silver riders, and all indications point to the fact that the majority of the United States senators will be for sound money and ndt for free silver"

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Got. 29.-(Spe- clal Dispatch to The Republican)- It has sleeted and showed for two days and the mountains are covered with a dress of white. Yesterday was the coldest- day have seen inashree years.
 Flagstaff politically is all right. Co., conino county will elect the entire Re- publican ticket. Doran will surely have over 100 najori5 y. The wool plank in the Republican platform is what catches them up here. These men talk much about that plank. They know that the election Of the National Republican ticket means the restora- tion of the wool industry in northern Arizona. The Democratic ticket stands no show in this region.

Bayard's auditors. he said, had that
day read the election returns no doubt
with great regret and II was 10 a SYM
pathetic foreign audience that he deliv-
cred his passionate address. That speech
called attention again to the speech pre-
viously delivered at Boston. describing
the Americans as a violent people.
That" he said. was the case upon
which the committee on foreign affiars
reported their resolution OF censure"
At first, he said, II had been hoped that
1t would be found on examination that
the Edinburg speech was simply an
academic address, but II was not so. Tn.
words referred TO his own country and
bore upon the parties and political issues
here. As a private American citizen he
had perfect right TO deliver his opinion,
but representing officially the Unit, d
States, he had no right TO utter words
which would reflect upon and wound the
senslbillties OF his countrymen.

THE BLUE BOOK.
London Chronicle Makes Severe Criticism
on Engand's Brief in the Vene-
Zuelan Dispute.


London, March lS-The Daily Chronicle
will publish another Of the series OF arti-
c'es attacking the Venezuelan blue book
recently issued by the government in
which II will contend that the state
ments that the claim to territory in the
Interior is based upon the facts OF pos
session and occupancy by the Dutch in
the eighteenth century are displayed by
the very references to the document
cited The Chronicles article will ex-
press fear that the entire case will be
vitiated by the assumption that the
Dutchmen's rowing descents upon the
coasts and rivers Of the territory claim "a
constitute effective occupation.
The Chronicle, in its article, VIII an
noTrce its intention to deal i'm dstaIl
with grave disclosure which It men
tions briefly now-viz., that the prelimi-
nary statement OF the British case con-
ta!ns the following:
"A formal report was sent home to the
Centurion in April. l770. containing,
among others, the following important
statement: We have 10 fort on the
Cryuni. nor had we ever one there; our
two forts are nothing more than villages
OF missions on the northern bank OF the
Yuruary.'"
VIII NilhN Nhc
Centurion's report. perhaps the most i'm
portant in the blue book. contains no
such sentences as the foregoing, and
that the supposed quotation Of it is
simply an inaccurate version. garblsd for
the purpose Of giving support to the COM
pliers case. The purpose of the Cen
turion's dispatch was largely to the ef-
feet that the Dutch did not bold any
thing on the Cuyuni except settlement
at its mouth, where It Joins the Ssse-
quibo.
In conclusion. the article contends that
five supposed quotations in the prelimi-
nary statements Of the British case are
Inaccurate and misleading. marvels and
asks: When We have good enough
case to arbltrate why try to prove more
than We can maintain"

FRANCE IS IN

BerthelOt's Remonstranees Taken
More Seriously Than the French
Government Intended.
PEOPLE CLAMoR FOR MORE
Decisive Measures Of Protest. Which Seems
to Hays Alarmed the GOysrameat--
Steps Taken TO Dali the Sharp
Edge Of the Commuaieatioa.

Paris, March 12-The French govern
ment's evidence tonight, that the an
nouncement by Bertheiot yesterday OF
the remonstrances he had offered against
the Egyptian campaign up the Nile, in
conversation with the Marquis OF Duff
fertn. has been taken much more SER
i0usiy than they were prepared for. The
outbreak Of approval from the French
press and people. and the popular ciamor
for even more decisive measures OF pro-
test, seem to have alarmed the govern
ment and awakened an apprehension that
they are being precipitated into a p6si-
ton Of hostility TO the plan OF Great
Britain, backed by the approval OF the
dreibund. which might entail the grav-
est consequences.
The enthusiasm awakened in France.
In fact, seems to enter more into the
approximations Of the French ministers
than the irritation abroad. As a conse-
quence. steps have been taken 10 dun
a little the seemingly sharp edge Of the
communication made to the British min
lister by NJ. Berthelot. minister Of for
eign Affairs. The following explanation.
with its distinct tones Of depreciation, Is
made. semi-ofiiclally. tonight:
Yesterdays note was merely a short
and rapidly drafted summary Of the OBJ
jections which France found It necessary
to formulate in view Of an unexpected
and sudden decision Of Great Britain.
France also intended unequivocally to
intimate that she did not intend to ignore
the matter. But this in no wise implied
a hostile attitude. On the contrary. they
think, in view Of the mutual friendly re-
lations, the frank and outspoken Ian
guage viii contribute to the removal
OF misunderstandings."
The interview OF NJ Berthelot and the
Marquis Of Dufferin was one Of the
friAndliest character. II was pointed out
that 1t was incumbent upon the guar
dians Of the Egyptian fund to ascertain
the necessity for the action entaiIing
large outlays- and that It was prefarahl
that the attitude to be taken should be
definite at the outset. instead Of being
left In doubt.

ancs a number OF the cannerymen met
at the Hotel Portland tonight. Sylvester
FarTreil was elected chairman and c. s.
Norris secretary. Norris said:
The grievance against the jobber Is
that he wantS to hog all the profits
there Is In the cannery business.
Labeled canned salmon brings S1.35
per dozen. but the wholesaler now asks
that the salmon shall be turned over to
him unlabeled, 50 that he may use his
private label on our goods. Besides that,
he demands a rebate OF ten cents per
dozen on our goods for granting him
that privilege.
The cost OF labelling and boxing does
not exceed "a cents per dozen, so you
see in this way the jobber gets an ad-
vantage Of "a cents per dozen. II is our
purpose. II possible. to form a combine
against this extortion and imposition. We
want to maintain fair rates for our goods
and not altogether lose our Identity by
selling them unlabeled."
