PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
Chairman Jones' Forecast Of the Vote for Can
didates in the Electoral College.

CHICAGO, Oct. Ex-senator Jones, of
the Democratic National Committee,
characterized the table of the probable
electoral vote, as given out last night by
Senator Quay as gigantic bluff"
The chairman pointed out that of all
the States classed by Senator Quay as
doubtful, only Tennessee and Virginia
have not complete fusion of Democrats,
Populists and silver Republicans. The
Senator also stated thar of the States
classed for Mckinley, there was COM
plete fusion of all the silver forces in
the following: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Mime
sofa, North Dakota, Ohio, West Vir-
ginia and Wisconsin. In thirty.two
States altogether, complete fusion had
been effected of all the forces opposed
to the gold standard.
Chairman Jones gave out the follow.
ing table, showing the votes of the re.
spective candidates in the electoral
college:

vi the National Executive committee OF the
Populists.
CHICAGO, Oct. 13-The National Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Peoples
party met here to-day at II o'clock,
Senator Marion Butler of North Caro-
lima, presiding
The conference adjourned at l:2O
O'Clock, and Senator Butler informed a
reporter that the business of the meet
ing had been confined to discussion of
fusion plans in Kansas and Colorado,
which he hoped to bring to success
full end before night.
Senator Butler was enthusiastic over
the outlook. He said Illinois was not
needed for Mr.. Bryan, as he was assured
Of Indiana, Iowa, the solid South and
the West. Maryland, Delaware and
Virginia, he declared, are certain, and
Kentuckyis like Texas.
As regards Watson, Senator Butler
said his name had not been mentioned,
No effort will be made to take him Oft
the ticket, nor has any such attempt
been thought Of Not one word will be
said and not single step will be taken
which would in any way tend to en-
barrass the candidacy Of Bryan.
Those present at the conference were
John w. Breidenthal, of Kansas; Con-
gresham Bell, of ofColorado; Dr. Taylor,
of Philadelphia, treasurer of the COM
mittee; Mr.. Rankin, of Terre Haute;
Geo. F. Washburn, of Massachusetts, in
charge Of the Chicago Populist head
quarters, and U. E. Taubeneck. Other
members are expected.

Waves Wild Work.

CAPE CHARLES, Va, Oct. ia
special messenger from Cobb's Island
this afternoon brought information
that Cobbs Island was entirely sub
merged yesterday at high tide. The
hotel was entirely demolished and
partly washed to sea. The only build
ings remaining are the life savings sta
ton, cottage belonging to Mr.. Ashby
Jones, of Richmond, Va, and cottage
belonging to Thos. Smith. With the
exception of these three, all buildings
were demolished or washed away. Mr..
Smiths cottage was built by Rev.
Thomas Dixon, Jr., of New York,
about three years ago. The beach has
washed so that an ordinary tide now
washes over the island Nearly all of
the inhabitants of the island have left
No lives were lost Cobb's Island has
been famous summer resort for forty
years. Nothing has yet been heard
from Hog Island, where it is feared
serious damage has been done.
RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 13-Passengers
from the Old Dominion, of the Old
Dominion Line, arrived in this city
shortly before noon to-day, having
been sent by rail over the Chesapeake
and Ohio from Newport News.
They tell story of hard experience
on the sea since leaving New York
Saturday afternoon. Three hours after
leaving New York a stiff northeast
wind arose and soon developed into a
fearful gale, and the experience of the
crew aud passengers until last night
was something they want to 60
through again. One of the passengers
was William M. Lathrop, editor of the
Carbondale (Pa. Leader, and he to-day
told the following story to a reporter of
the Southern Associated Press: THE
passengers behaved well, though badly
frightened, until about midnight Sat
urday, when the rudder chain snapped,
leaving the boat without guiding power
for many minutes. OF that moment,
Captain Brakeman said afterward: II
would not have given ten cents for all
the lives on the boat at that time"
"When, after a terrible experience in
the wind and overlapping waves the
rudder chain was repaired and the
boat rugged, the hopeless passengers
took some new courage, but an hour
later, when it broke again, every one If
the truth be told, gave up completely
! Zone passenger tried to borrow re-
yolver with which to shoot himself,
and another offered all his property to
any one who would guarantee him
safely in port No one took his offer,
however, and he still has his prop
erty'n
MIR. Lathrop said Captain Brakeman
declared it was his worst experience in
twenty seven years life on the sea and
no one found it hard to believe that he
was not exaggerating.

Senator Jones added that thousands
of Democrats in Connecticut and New
Jersey had informed him those States
would cast their vote for Bryan, while
the Democrats of Iowa looked upon
that State as safe for Bryan by a large
majority.

A Fable For Farmers.

A Tiller of the Soil, having occasion to
bring Water q long distance from q
Spring, used for that purpose u Two-inch
Iron Pipe, which for many years sup
piled all the needs of his household and
barnyard. One day an agent for a Rocky
Mountain Iron Foundry came along and
urged the farmer to throw away the
Pipe which had proved 40 satisfactory
and bny one 80 inches In diameter. 81
perceive" he said, THAT your Present
Pipe is entirely too narrow for the
amount Of Water in the Spring. II you
will use our Big Pipe, you will have
twice as much Water AZ you get now.
1T is true, replied the farmer. that
my Pipe lis smaller than the Spring, but
"a it now carries all the Water that rises
in the Spring. / can't see how a bigger
Pipe would make more Water. The
quantity of Water delivered through .
Pipe depends q good deal on the rapidity
Of tho circulation. II I were to tear mp
the Pipe I nm using in order to put
yours in, it would cost me q lot Of
money for no purpose, and / would be
SO much worse OF. Ig1ness / won I make
q change"
Moral.-Thc agents Of the silver
mine owners are making a big mistake
when they try to fool the farmers into
believing that the use Of q bulkier metal
to measure values would double the
quantity Of wealth to be measured
