No sensible man can shut his eyes on
the fact that the Mckinley tide has been
rising since about the first of August and
the ratio Of it's increasing power grows
every day.
The entire campaign is suggestive Of
1872 when in July and August there was
a grave apprehension that Greeley might
be elected. In November of that year he
WAS overwhelmingly and disastrously
defeated. I may add that the estimates
and prophetic utterances Of our oppo-
nents may be well illustrated by the situ-
alton in Ohio. During my recent trip
to the East I found scores Of Republi-
cans anxiously inquiring if Ohio would
be carried by Mckinley and scores of
Democrats who insisted that their In
formation left no possible doubt of No
Kinley's defeat In his native state.
even saw attributed 70 Chairman
Jones of Arkansas the suggestion that
Ohio was confidently relied upon as a
Bryan state. Since my return I have had
advices from many congressional dis
trict in ths state and predict with con-
fidence and am willing to maintain 1t at
any hazard that Mckinley will have
more than 100, 600 majority In Ohio and
we will carry as many congressional dis
tricts as we did In 1894 or in no event
will we lose more than one district.
Chairman Hanna Satisfied.
Chicago, September 20.-Chairman
Hanna left for Cleveland and the East
last night. When he returns he will de-
vote his time until the close of the cam
paign to this center OF the political bat
tle He said before leaving that he was
better satisfied with the western situa-
tion than when he came here. During
the last two weeks there has been a
gradual Frightening Of the political
horizon. He was sure that Mckinley
would not only carry the great central
states of the West, but would probably
win in othar states whose electoral vote

 From the Throne.

LONDON, Feb. 11.-Parliament as sembled today after it's long recess.
 The speech from the throne made a passing reference to the loss sustained fby the royal family in the untimely death of Prince Henry of Battenberg The condition of affairs in the east and the Venezuelan complication were touched upon and an earnest desire expressed for the maintenance of peace and harmonious relations with all the governments of the civilized world That portion of the speech addressed to the house of commons set forth that it would be called upon to consider measures relating to the national de- fense and the increase of the navy, for the relief of husbandry, for settle ment of the Irish land question, and for the support of voluntary schools.
 The speech in reference to foreign relations recited We continue to re- ceive from other powers assurances of their friendly sentiment The gov trnment of the United States has ex- pressed wish to cooperate in termi- hating the differences which have ex- isted for many years between my gov ernment and the republic of Venezuela upon the boundary of that country and my colony of British Guiana. I have expressed my sympathy with the desire to come to an equitable arrange ment and trust farther negotiations will lead to a satisfactory settlement. The sultan of Turkey has sanctioned the principal reforms of the govern ment of Armenian provinces of which in conjunction with the czar of Russia and the president of the French re- public, I felt it my duty to press"

What Edison Proposes
 to Do.
Experimenting With the Cath
 ode Ray.
He Is Working on a New Theory of the Diffusion of
 Light.

ORANGE, N J., Feb. 11.-Thomas A. Edison was hard at work all day in his laboratory preparing for his ex- pertinent of photographing the human body and brain with the aid of the newly discovered cathode rays.
 With the aid of mercury pumps, he labored assiduously on Crooke's tubes of his own manufacture To the mouth of each tube a long glass tube was at tached and through this, by means of a connecting tube inside, mercury was run and the air in the Crooke's tube was gradually exhausted by the mer- cury.
 Surrounded by a score or more re- porters and other visitors MT. Edison sat for hours watching the progress of the work and he displayed a wonderful amount of patience when, after re- peated trials, the desired result was not obtained. Again and again the ef- forts were repeated and MT Edison ex- plained to the reporters that he was trying to see whether the rays were longitudinal, the etheric vibration go- ing straight out into space, or local MdSutLlC waves, ClTCuldlluS IrOm one electrode to the other in the tube through the air in the immediate To- cality being purely local in nfunce.
 Tn another experiment. today he caused the rays to pass through piece of steel one-haf of an inch thick. He also, found that the mysterious rays were capable of penetrating a bit of cardboard, a piece of celluloid and the half inch strip of steel combined, leav- ing the plate uniformly black. Had the rays not penetrated the steel, the plate would naturally have been black in the place where the steel was not interposed. He secured similar re- suits several times with equal precis- ion.
 In regard to the proposed attempt at photographing the human brain, rep resentative of the Associated Press asked MT. Edison if there would be any danger of the subjects suffering any physical injury from the rays which would necessarily be forced through his head, as it had been suggested that a spark of electricity from the tube

DONNEMORA, N. Y, Feb. 11.-Bar- tholomew Shea died in the electric chair today, paying the penalty for the murder of Robert Rose, of Troy, in March, 1894.
 Shea was attended to the gallows by clergymen from his home and priest from the Roman Catholic church of this place. After receiving the last sacrament Shea declared he was inno- cent. The straps being adjusted the priest read the service of the dead. While the priests read, the first voltage was turned on.
 It was 9:55 when Shea entered the room and at 9:5SA he was pronounced dead.

Three Thousand Dollar
 Bonds.
Her Small Children Keep Her
 Company.
Tale of Neighborhood Unhappiness Told by the Woman's
 Neighbors.

Mrs. Carrie l.. Wilson, a fairly come ly woman, mother of five children, spent last night at the county Jail, ruminating upon the disastrous conse-- quences that oft befall those who are quick to anger. Three little tots kept. her company and with her for a DOT tion of the time was Charles Wilson, her husband, who till late in the even ing did not cease in his unavailing efforts to get bail for the woman. She was given quarters in the jailor's room and could not have been considered to have had uncomfortable accommoda-- tions.
 Mrs. Wilson has been committed by Justice Morris, under bonds of $3,000 to await the grand jury's action on charge of assault to commit mur- der. She was defended by Kibbey & Williams, the prosecution being con ducted by District Attorney Millay
 The evidence though mainly given by lot of excited women, was much to the same effect as the story told in Sunday mornings Republican Miss Hammond, neighbor, had been necessarily annoyed by the Wilson family, the children being veritable imps of Satan, till she caught one Sat- urday afternoon and applied to him corporal punishment
 At this the mother rushed out with a shotgun and in all shot four shots at her neighbor, inficting slight wounds in the legs.
 The evidence showed the Wilson's to be quarrelsome outfit, that has col lectively raised Cain in the neighbor- hood ever since arrived
 One man told how they stole fruit from his orchard and then asked him "what he was going to do about it?" Mrs. Hurst witness, came to Justice JOhnstone with a tale that Wilson Monday evening had remarked to her. ''If it goes hard for my wife, will make it hard for you" Whereat Mrs. Hurst was so terrified that she fled from the shelter of her own roof and slept at neighbor's.
 Of one thing there was unlimited proof that the Wilson's had nothing save enemies among the dwellers in the southwestern addition

THE MILL AT FL PAS0. Hemmed in by VigiIant
 Authority. PreparationS Are Now Practi-
 caIly Complete.
Texas Rangers, Federal Troops and Mexican Officials
 Are Active.

EEL PASO, Feb. M.-Captain Mc- Donald with half dozen rangers ar rived this morning from Amarillo and joined a dozen rangers that arrived yesterday Others are expected tomor- row. The rangers will see that Texas laws are not broken. If New Mexico is invaded the officials there are com petent to act.
 It is now believed the fight will not take place until the scheduled date, al- though nearly all arrangements are completed and it could be brought off at any time within few hours.
 William A. Brady has telegraphed that he will be at the rimgside to chal- lenge the winner in behalf of Corbett.
 Sullivan arrives this evening as will also James Lawler, the final stake holder, from Houston. and the final stakes will be posted then.
 Adjutant Mabry said this afternoon that when he said Texas in declaring the fight could not take place in that state, he meant all disputed territory. This disposes of the New Mexico strip.
 The place of the fight is still se- cret and no one will know where it is until the spot is reached.
 Seven additional Texas rangers reached here this morning, making thirty-two now under command of Adjutant General Mabry.
 It is reported that Mexican rurales are gathering across the river at uarez.
 A number of excursionists from New York and other eastern points arrived this morning and large numbers are reported on the road.
 The ministers of El Paso decided this morning to open up board of for eign missions against prize-fghts. They went in body across the river to Juarez to see GSverGor Ahumada and get him to take active steps against the possible designs of Dan Stuart to pull the fight off on Mexican soil. Stuart, however, remains conf dent and declares the fights will surely come off. There is no doubt felt here that he will keep his word so far as the big fight is concerned and the chances are very strong that he will keep it as regards most, if not all, of the lesser fights.

 No apparent motive for the crime was discovered and the police have no clue upon which to work.

THE FIGHT IN ARIZONA.
Prompt Executive Action to Block
 Such an Occurrence.

There was rare activity yesterday around the offices of the governor and adjutant general, and telegrams came and went thick and fast. The cause lay in the receipt yesterday morning by the executive of private advices that the Maher -Fitzsimmons mill, blocked in Chihuahua, New Mexico and Texas, would be pulled off within the Arizona line.
 About the first thing that was done was the evolution of the following or der:
 Headquarters National Guard of Ari- zona, Phoenix, Arizona, February Il, 1896. Special Orders No. 1:
 Company B, stationed at Phoenix Company c stationed at Tempe, Com panies D and F, stationed at Tucson, Company B stationed at Mesa and Company H stationed at Yuma, all of the First regiment National Guard Of Arizona, will hold themselves in read mess to move at moments notice.
 Twenty rounds of ammunition will be issued to the men of each of the above companies.
 Company commanders as soon as possible after the receipt of this order will notify this office of the probable strength they will be able to turn out By command of
 L. c. HUGHES, Governor and Commander-in4C 4Chief
 Ed SCHWARTZ,
 tAdjutant-General. To this the governor is understood to have added telegraphic appeal to Washington asking that the garrisons at Grant and Huachuca be held in readiness and that force of deputy marshals might be stationed at the Arizona border line.
 The news, as far as it can be learned, is that Stuart, checked in every other direction. had planned to put his fighters and the spectators on trains at Fl Paso and then, instead of run ming out to the projected battle ground near the city, to make rapid three hours dash for the Arizona line. This could be done in the night. In the morning at dawn the fight could com mence and all would be over before the authorities could come on the scene in sufficient force to be effective.
 Another fascinating tale was that the train would continue on to Nogales Sonora, where the Mexican authori- ties, unprepared for their coming would be defied.
 Of one thing Governor Hughes is sure-that if the fight may not occur

ON MEXICAN SOIL.
Where Catron Believes the Mill Is
 Billed to Take Place.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Delegate Catron of New Mexico says the man. agers of the fight will probably at tempt to pull it off four miles below El Paso, where the Rio Grande cuts a point of land on the Mexican side, which is in the state of Chihuahua.
 President Diaz will probably take steps to prevent the fight there. He has ample authority to do so.
