A GEYsER CLOCK.
Most Accurate Register of Time in the
World.

MOSI AccurdU6 1eRlsteF OF IIIlo III bH6
World.
New York Journal.
A clock that is regulated by a geyser
has been constructed by a Nevada in
ventor. 1t never has to be wound or reg
ulated, and as for keeping time, the best
maker of time pieces in the world could
not equal 1t. 1t Is located at Amidee
New.
All there is of machinery about the
clock Is face, 'ha nsis and lever. This is,
as told, connected with a great geyser
from which shoots a column of hot water
every thirty-eight seconds. Perhaps the
most curious thing about this combina-
ton of nature and mechanism is that the
spouting of hot water never varies a
tenth of second.
The only difference between this clock
and any other in the registering of the
flight of time is that the hands move
thirty-eight seconds at once, the period
that elapses between the volleys of wa
ter.

REACH PARIS.
The Car and Czarana Reach the French Capital.

PARIS, Oct 6-The czar and czarina arrived safely at 10 a. m. from Cher bourg and will reach the Russian em- bassy at Il o'clock.
 The arrival of the distinguished travellers was signalled to expectant throngs by flare of trumpets, after which there was a long roll from the drum corps. The guard of honor pre- scented arms and the troops were called to attend on from one end of the route to the other, causing the crowds to begin cheering from the depot to the embassy. About the station the air was rent with roars of ''Vive le Czarr' "Vive le EmpereurP' ''Vive la Repub- Gque! Hats, sticks, umbrellas and handkerchiefs waved wildly. The czar wore the uniform of a colonel of the Russian miles and across his breast was the scarf of the grand coronation of the Legion of Honor He replied with a military salute to the present arms" of the guard of honor. The czarina bowed in response to the fer vent welcome of the populace. Presi- dent Faure saluted the imperial coa,asle by removing his hat and at the same moment the battery at Mount Vaierien fired the first shot of the imperial sa- lute of 101 guns. The usual formal presentations took place in the mag nificent salon constructed expressly fer the purpose.

NO GOLD.
Party of Disappointed Miners Return
 From Alaska.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 6.-The two masted schooner Prosper came into port this morning with a crew of about a dozen disappointed miners who pros pected all summer in Alaska and were unable to find scarcely a color of gold The vessel started for the north from this port early in April, carrying eighteen men who resided in Oakland, Alameda and Berkeley. They went in search of a mountain of gold, the To- cation of which F. c. Bender, who or ganized the party, claimed to know. Bender also owned the schooner Pros per. TO the eighteen men Bender sold share 6m his mountain of gold for $100 each.
 When they reached Alaska Bender led his party to different places hund- reds of miles apart, but not color of gold was found.
 When the stockholders realized that they had been duped they held a meet ing in the cabin of the schooner. While the meeting was in progress Bender took his leave, and he in confidence to some friends ashore said he was obliged to escape from his dupes in or der to save his life.
 Discouraged and disgusted, the party determined to return home, and left Hope City on August with number of passengers for Sitka. They encoun- tered head winds and succession of southeast gales, the most of which oc- cured on August 29 and 30. They reached Sitka on September and left for San Francisco September II.

MANY FRAMES KILLED.
Baltimore & Ohio Freight Wreck
 Claims Many Lives.

CUMBERLAND, Md, Oct. 6.-At g o'clock last evening four unknown tramps had been taken out of the Baltimore & Ohio freight wreck which occurred at Phison station. Tramps who are now in the Western Maryland hospital say that at least fifteen more bodies are buried beneath the debris. They were riding i'm the car ahead of the one in which the injured tramps were, and nothing has been heard from them since tIhe wreck occurred.
 At a late hour last evening a mem Der of one of the wrecking crews on the ground broke into bocar with an ax. Blood covered the broken boards taken out, and the story here now is that the bodies are in this car The truth of it will not be known until this morning. Engineer Zane and Conductor Harbaugh are in the hos pital in a critical condition.
 A temporary track was laid around the wreck at o'clock last evening, and the work of clearing up the broken cars and engines was suspended until daylight. The wreck will cost the Bal timore & Ohio Railroad company fully S100,000,

OHIO.

Major Mckinley carried Ohio four years ago by more than S0,000 plurality over his Democratic opponent, and this year, with the silver Democrats and Populists against him, his plurality promises to be even greater.
 Numerous polls of the state have been made, particularly in two pre- cincts in two representative wards in Cleveland and Cincinnati, and, judg ing from these and from a personal canvass of the state, sound money has made most encouraging gains. If the Popocrats and all of their allies are not beaten by a tremendous majority no one will be more surprised than themselves.
 The Herald's poll of the precinct elicited 120 replies, showing that thirty-two voters proposed to cast their ballots for Bryan, this being twenty-siX per cent of the total, or a loss in the precinct of nineteen per cent for Bryan. As the Democratic vote in the entire city at the same elec- tion was 16,20S, loss of nineteen per cent would reduce this to 13,129. The Republican vote in the city at the same time was 24,913, to which should be added the nineteen per cent Demo cratic loss.
 In the election of 1895 the Republi- cans cast 427,141 and the Democrats 334,579 votes, a Republican plurality of 92,622. The Populist vote was 52,- 675, and adding this to the Democratic vote the total is 387 ,254. These two votes are added, because Bryan is the Popocratic candidate and expects to get all the Populist votes, so he is given the benefit of the doubt. As there is a loss of thirteen per cent to bye figured in here, however, the Dem- ocratic vote is reduced from 334, ,579 tc 291 ,0S4, and the Republican vote is in creased ito 470,636, which is clear ma jority of SOAP over Democrats and Popuists.
 At the same time it should be remem. bered that the sound money side is moi given credit for the excess of changes from the Democratic to the Republican side in the persons of those who voted for President Cleveland four years agc and will vote for Mckinley this fall nor are the new voters taken into ac count, for the reason that there is nc way of arriving at accurate figures re garding them.

Hanna Repudiates False
 Statements.
He Did Not Concede the EIec-
 tion of Bryan.
False Article Published by the Dem ocraric Frees Calculated to
 Deceive the Voters.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-As Chairman Hanna was leaving the Republican headuuarters this afternoon he was asked what truth there was in the re- port that he had written letter to an intimate friend in which he con- ceded the election of Bryan because the Republicans were unable to control the labor vote
 MT. Hanna replied: "The report is absurd on the face of it. I have not written such letter, nor have l at any time said anything capable of such construction. The report is what you newspaper men, believe, call fake. I have too much confidence in the in- telligence and integrity of the Ameri- can wage earner to believe he will vote for policy or support a candidate on platform which means repudiation and 53-cent dollar. I have never conceded the election of MT. Bryan and certainly cannot concede it now when the tide is flowing so strongly and un- mistakaIbly in the direction of Repub- lican success.
 T don't propose to discuss in the newspapers our plan of campaign, but will say all our reports indicate that a great majority of the votes of the workingmen will be with us in this campaign.
 "The silver craze may be likened to an epidemic; its acute stage was reached few weeks after Mr. Bryan s nomination. Like every other malady it yields to careful and intelligent treatment"
