four companies comprising the See Yup
society are reported to be in hiding, aving
learned that their death warrants have been
signed by the highbinders Of their society,

peace with the officers of opposing So
cieties pursuant to orders from the Chinese
minister at Washington. The highbinders
also charge their president with the en-
bezzlement of See Yup funds.
The Chinese are furious at the consul
for the destruction of bighbinder rooms and
josses. The See Yups yesterday obtained an
injunction from the superior court to pre-
vent further consular demolition.

been developed in jackson township and
that the men are combining their opera

THE
LIFE-SANISG
SERVICE:
THE

forts OF the lifc-SayinE crews, many human
beings were rescued from what would other
wise have been certain death, and in not 4
few instances the ships and their cargocs
were also saved. The value of the lives thus
saved cannot, of course, be computed: but
This much is certain that the annual cost
Of the whole service is but an infinitcsiInal
fraction OF the market value of ships and
cargoes annually saved to the business
communities Of this and other countries.
1t is a notorious fact, and one by no means
complimentary to the sense OF justice and
fairness OF our lawmakers, that the men
in the employ Of the life-saving service are
the hardest worked and most poorly paid
of any OF the thousands OF government ser
wants. They are not even placed upon an
equal footing with other government enl-
ployes in the matter Of tenure Of office, for
during a number of months in the year
they are east adrift and left to shift for
themselves as best they may. while during
the period of their employment, their pay is
by no means what it should be- Numerous
appeals have been made in and TO Congress
on their behalf, but So far without proper
measure Of success. II is to be hoped that
they Will not remain much longer on the
list of those whose services are insuffi-
GENTLY remuncratcd because they lack the
pull" that insurcs favor even in legisla-
| tive halls.

The following revised estimate has been
received here from Gen. Grosvenor, OF

There have been some Significant
changes in the situation since my first
bulletin, and l have taken very great
pains, by the use of all available means,
90 ascertain substantially what the result
is To be. There Is yet some Goubt and un-
certainty about sCn.e OF the States, but
think the following may he safely placed
in the absolute sure column. Mckinley and
The morning times., 1896-10-19

.Thc states which do not seem to be
doubtful and which must be conceded
practically without controversy to Bryan
rental as in my first table, except that
Florida has disclosed an uncertainty as
to her status, ana / think that Texas and
Louisiana may be added TO the sure vote
for Bryan. North Carolina is doubtful
State, with chances i'll favor Of Bryan, in
my opinion.
Thus, we have 292 votes for Mckinley
and Hobart, with 224 necessary To their
election. If they gain in the same ratio
for the next three weeks as they Rave
gained in the last three, this is a very
conservative estimate OF the electoral vote
for them.
