FORAKER IN KANSAS
Most Enthusiastic Demonstrations Greet
Him at Every Point.

Belleville, Kan, Oct. 9.-One OF the
largest audiences of the campaign last
night listened to a speech delivered by
Hon. Joseph B. Foraker, senator-elect
from Ohio. He spoke of the business
depression and its causes, and said:
Mr.. Bryan says it is the crime of 70.
but I want to tell you that it was the
crime of 80. (Applause.) The act of
'73 had nothing to do with it,
The speaker rendered figures to prove
his claim.
Harrington. Kan, Oct. 9.-Hon. Jo-
seph 3. Foraker left Belleville in his
special car at an early hour this morn
ing. His first stop made at Clay Cen
ter at 7:30, found 300 people awaiting
the party. The Ohioan made d short
speech and was heartily cheered. At
Manhattan a forty-minute speech was
made and listened to by 1,500 people.
The speakers words aroused conSid-
cradle enthusiasm and. the ladies in the
crowd pelted Foraker with bouquets as
the train pulled out. At this place and
other points where the train stopped
similarity enthusiastic greetings We're
accorded.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 9.-Further re-
turns received from Wednesdays esec-
ton show that the total Populist vote
will not exceed s., 600. It was 95,sSs IN
1884, showing decrease of about ll,0oo.
This falling off is largely attributed to
the capture of the negro vote by Gov
ernor Atkinson The Official hsures
coming in today do not materially
change the official estimate of the re-
suit as made in these dispatches yes
terday.
The figures in possession of the Dem
ocratic managers are taken TO indicate
the following state of affairs:
In q few sections of the state the Pop
ulist vote was increased. In nearly
every case il was due to the personal
popularity Of some Populist nominee.
In Florida, Wright's home county, the
Popuiist candidate for governor re-
ceived majority of 26S votes. But this
was not. in a party sense, majority
for Populsm, since Chandler, Denrocra-
tic nominee for secretary of state, de-
feated Parsons, the Populist nominee,
by over 500 votes.
In Coffee county, for the first time.
the Populist state ticket was given a
majority and the entire county --eomi-
nees elected To offset this, however,
twenty counties that were POpulist in
1894 rolled up on Wednesday their aV-
erage Democratic majorities. This is
true of Campbell Carroll, Chattahoo-
chez Clayton, Dawson, Douglas, Enan-
uel, Fayette, Guynette, Harris. Meri-
wether. Montgomery, Paulding Pick
ems, Pike. Polk, Rockdale, Tatnall,
Taylor, Washington and White.
In large majorities of the counties
the votes We're consolidated without
protest In Baldwin county the con-
soiidation was referred and correspon-
dent wires: Several tally sheets have
mysteriously disappeared. The man.
ayers decided to wait until Saturday
before declaring the result. Some claim
there viii have TO be another election;
others say not. Whitfield has filed no.
tice of protest. Great excitement pre-
walls and mischief is generally expect
ed
One of the features of the election is
that every congressional district in
Georfia went Democratic and VIII send
Democratic representatives to the next
congress. The only district he'd in
doubt was the Tenth. Two years ago
in the state election this district gave
a small Populist majority On We'd
nesday Richmond, Hancock and Wash
nigton gave Democratic majorities suf-
ficient to offset the Populst majorftieS
in the eight other counties and show be-
sides clean Democratic majority of
2125.
The Journals estimate Of the vote in
the counties as corrected up TO date, has
Atkinson'S majority at 35,405.

Omaha. Neb.. Oct. "a special to
the Bee from Corning. Iowa, says.
Two OF Ccgnlng's best business blocks
were entirely destroyed by fire this
morning. The fire originated In the H.
J. Reynolds elevator. The flames made
quick work ~ this and spread 10 two
box cars In the Chicago. Burlington and
Quincy yards. When one OF the cars
was almost consumed IL was discovered
thar an unknown man had efther per
ished in the flames. or had been msH'-
dered and placed there by trampe. The
city fire department was unable TO baf-
fie the fire as the boiler at the water
works station was not in shape for
work and was undergoing repairs
When the elevator was burned and ths
burning mass was we'll under control.
most OF the citizens repaired 20 their
homes but were Immediately caIt.-ti out
again. as a strong wind had arisen and
another confiagration had started in A.

were in RUNS and 500. 900 worth OF prop
erty had satisfied the appetite OF thu

 The Cincinnati and Raleigh are sister ships. Each Is 5000 tons displacement, 10000 horse power and has a speed of nineteen knots. They carry each one G. inch rifle, ten finch rifles and eight quick-firing guns-nineteen guns In all.
 The Montgomery Is 2000 tons displace- ment and has a speed of eighteen knots. She carries two 6-inch rifles, four finch rapd-fire rifles and nine quick-fire guns --fifteen guns in all.
 This makes a total of 191 guns of all sizes, and when the guns of the Marble head and San Francisco, now In Euro pean waters, are added, the number will be increased to 250.
 Great secrecy marks the movements of the fleet, and until it reached European waters no one, not even the officers of the ships, would know what the nature of the work might be. It is quite certain that if orders are given to collect the money no time will be wasted in the senseless formalities which marked the action of the European powers gathered in the Bosphorus for the protection of the Armenians. That the sultan cares little for American opinion was recently shown by his refusal to allow the Red Cross society to administer to the starv- ing multitudes in the devastated dis frfpfq
