VENEZUELAN COMMISSION.
1t Resumed It's Sessions Today, Mr.

1t Resumed It's Sessions Today, Mr..
White Being the Only Absentee.
The Venezuelan commission resumed its
sessions today and will probably meet very
frequently from now until it completes its
work. Andrew D. White was the only
absentee. There was some disappointment
over the fact that DR.. Baer and Prof.
De Haan, who have been at work at The
Hague securing original translations and
manuscripts and documents bearing on the
controversy, had not arrived, but the COM
mission proceeded to consider other de-
tails pending their arrival. DR.. Baer and
Pro-. De Haan sailed from Liverpool on
the Teutonic, which arrived at New York
this morning, and they probably will reach
here not later than tomorrow. In accord
ance with the policy heretofore pursued
by members of the commission they de-
clined today to indicate whether they were
confronted with any difficulties which
might prevent an harmonious agreement
in their report. Some time ago, however,
Justice Brewer intimated that the report
would be ready for submission by Decem-
ber l at the latest, and this would seem
to Indicate that the members of the COM
mission, who have been kept advised dur
ing the summer and fall of all develop
ments will reach a speedy conclusion once
all the documents are officially laid before
them.

DOUBTFUL ABOUT TENNESSEE.
Democratic Managers Uncertain rs
Carrying the Smte.

Democratic Managers Uncertain to
Carrying the Srnte.
The democratic managers are giving out
estimates freely claiming Tennessee as GER
tain for Bryan by 10000 majority. but it
is known that in the inner circles here
there is some dubiousness about Tennes-
sees vote. This feeling does not go to the
extent of believing that Mckinley will
carry the state, but it does amount to a
belief that the vote will be closer than is
given out to the public
1t has been noticeable that in all the
letters given out from democratic head
quarters here during past weeks few have
had any mention of a change of republican
farmers to the Bryan cause, and there has
been little said of silver republican senti-
ment in that state. On the other hand it
is known that thousands of former demo-
Gratis have bolted the national ticket and
will vote for Mckinley or Palmer.
Conservative politicians do not see how
Tennessee is going to give Bryan a reason
able majority without accessions from re-
publican ranks to make up for the loss
of the gold democratic vote. Tennessee.
it is known, is full of white republicans.
The republican vote in that state does not
consist, as in many southern states, almost
wholly of colored voters. In certain por-
tions of Tennessee, notably in the Knox
vile district, the number of white republi-
cans equals, or exceeds, the number of
white democrats. Tennessee has never
given overwhelming democratic majorities
owing to this strong republican vote. If
the state election two years ago is taken
as basis for estimates the democrats, 1t
is said, will find little to encourage them
in the idea that they will carry the state
at all. The republican vote then was
about 1000 greater than the democratic.
In the face of this the democratic man.
ayers are claiming 10000 majority, while all
around them desertions are being recorded
every day. Memphis, Nashville. Chatta-
nccga and other cities contain thousands of
business men who have left the party.
These desertions, as stated, are not made
up by an equal number of desertions from
the ranks of the opposing party. The only
way the democrats can figure out a ma
jority is that two years ago. in the state
election, thousands of democrats stayed
at home.
Chairman Hanna is now claiming Tennes-
see by 1900 majority. This is the same
majority he figures out for Michigan. The
republicans in Tennessee are not as badly
divided as in other states. They have
some strong men, and it is understood that
they have received liberal assistance from
the republican national committee.

NAMING THE wARsHIPs.
Three Hattie Ships and Six Gunboa tn
Given Specific Applications.

Before his departure on his electioneer-
Ing trip to Alabama Secretary Herbert dis
posed of a matter that has engaged his at
tention and that of the President as well
for a long time. 1t concerned the naming
OF the three battle ships and the six gun
boats now under construction in different
parts of the country. Under the law bat
tie ships must be named after states of
the Union and gunboats after cities of his
toric interest. In accordance with these
statutes Secretary Herbert has directed
that the new battle ships be named, re-
spectiyely, Alabama, Illinois and Wiscon-
sin, and that the gunboats be officially
designated as follows: Annapolis, Mari
eta, Newport, Princeton, Vicksburg and
Wheeling. In the selection of the names
for the gunboats the cities compltmented
are those in the states of Maryland, Ohio.
Rhode Island. New Jersey. Mississippi and
West Virginia, respectively.
In selecting the name Alabama the Sec
retary honors his native state, perpetuates
the name of the most famous of the con-
federate cruisers and gives another notice
to the world that the animosities of the
civil war are forgotten. The navy now has
kearsarge and an Alabama to fight for
the honor and dignity of the Union and to
maintain the prestige of the United States
among the nations of the world and thew
will undoubtedly give a good account Of
themselves.

What Secretary Difenlcrfer Says
New YOrk'K Vote.

What Secretary Difendcrfer Says of
New York'x Vote.
Mr.. Difenderfer, secretary of the national
silver party, returned here from New York
today. Mr.. Difenderfer while away Sc
cured several bets on Bryan's election at
odds Of to 1 in favor of Mckinley; also
an even bet of $50 that New York will not
give republican majority greater than Co.
coo. To Star reporter today Mr.. Difen-
derfer said:
Il am satisfied that the country will be
surprised at the result in New York on
election day. The democrats in New York
city are working enersetically and are
holding about 400 meetings nightly The
vote in the western part of the state will
surprise the republicans, for they are not
looking for disaffecton there
Mr.. Difenderfer will go on the stump to-
morrow, and will probably make speeches
in Pennsylvania just before the election.
1t Is not likely that he will be in this city
except on short visits during the coming
week
