TRIBUNE'S ESTIMATE.

1.-THE New York Tribune of this morn
ing gives Mckinley 3lS practically un-
contested and instructed votes. In my
report ] exclude doubtful votes, and
have failed to claim a number known
In be for Mckinley. | point to the vim
d;cation of my original estimate with
some degree of satisfaction, and ! state
now that my present estimate of safe
votes for Mckinley on the first ballot
is below these actual facts.
The most significant feature of the
lastLMeel,s elections Is the great rtrr=
Mckinley. In this category may be
classed New Hampshire. Kentucky,
Pennsylvania and New York, and it is
safe to say that there are now of well
defined second choice delegates thor
oughly committed to Mckinley as such
not less than 1876. During the remand
er Of April there will be elections in
Connecticut, Maryland. Virginia, Penn
sylvania, Indian Territory, Alabama.
Georgia, Illinois. Vermont and Arizona
in all S4 votes. Out of this number it
is a very low and conservative esti-
mate to claim for Mckinley so dele
gates. Then will follow in the month
of May conventions in the following
states: California, Indiana. Michigan.
Nevada, West Virginia. Montana. Mis-
souri,. Delaware, Colorado. Washington,
Idaho, Wyoming and North Carolina
with l52 delegates elected. 1t will be
seen that the Mckinley situation has
not only constantly improved, but Is
rapidly approaching triumphant tom
clusion."

Peffcr's Resolution to Investigate the
Bond Purchase Schemes viii Meet
Opposition In the Scuate-Busiuess De.
fore the House.

Washington. April 19.--Tomorrow Is
"suspension day" in the house-that Is
to say Il day on which 1t Is in order
to take up bills for immediate passage
under suspension of the rules. That
order will be followed by Nhe general
pension bill reported on Friday last.
Ey the terms of this bill, discontin-
uances or reductions of pensions, eX-
cept for fraud, or error or recovery
from disabilities, are made unlawful.
Chairman Pickler estimates that the
restorations of pensions and additional
expenditure authorized by the bill will
amount to two or three million dollars
a year.
Mr.. Cannon will afterwards call up
the general deficiency bill. Wednes-
day and Thursday have been set aside
for q discussion of the bankruptcy bill
upon which q vote Is to be taken by the
house on Friday.
In the senate an effort will probably
be made to antagonize Mr.. PETERS
pending bond purchase investigation
resolution. by calling up the Indian
appropriation bill
ME naval appropriation bill has been
ready for discussion for ten days and
Mr.. Hale Is very anxious to dispose of
it. Mr.. German is credited with an in
tention of attacking the provisions for
four new battleships. He proposes to
reduce this number to two and substi-
tute for the battleships stricken out,
small sized gunboats for use in riv-
erS and shallow waters.

HIS NOSE WAS BROKEN.
An All Day Feud Follows Fight at q Bal
Game

Green's lane in the Seventh ward was
the scene of lively times all day yes
terday. During the morning a ball
game took place in an adjacent field,
where fight between two Mullarkey
boys and two Tobin boys resulted in
one of the Tobins getting his nose so
badly smashed from a fist blow that it
required all of DR.. Saltry's skill to
make the organ assume anything like
it's natural proportions.
When the news of the affray reached
Green's lane. where the MullarkeYs and
'TOD1ns reside, the parents Of the Tob-
ins We're exceeding wroth, and they
paraded the lane daring anybody that
bore the detestable name of Mullarkey
to tread on the tail Of their coat or
petticoat. as the case might be.
About o'clock one of the Mullarkey
boys ventured out and started up town
but had scarcely gotten out of his
house when old man Tobin pounced
upon him. He parried the blows aimed
at him and kept his assailant off until
Patrolman John Saltry, who was keep
ing an eye on the lane, arrived and
chased the old fellow into the house.

Washington, April 1S.--The weekly
bulletin furnished by Representative J.

results of the Republican presidential
canvass from the standpoint of friend

lows
The developments of the past week
In the Republican presidential contest
have resulted In no material change
in the relative standing of the leading
candidates, Notwithstanding the pre-
dlction made by General Grosvenor
seven days ago that during the COM
ing week McKinley's strength will grow
rapidly by the conventions in Ken
lucky. Nebraska and New Jersey"
or the twenty votes confidently

Governor Bradley has captured six

Mckinley the fourteen delegates elect

appointment. My last statement gave

table l credited Mr.. Reed with two un-
instructed delegates. which upon later
information. l deem it fair to place in
the doubtful column. With this single
exception my figures of last week can
not be seriously disputed.
The figures herewith presented have
been carefully compiled from reports
received from day to day and verified
by replies received from kilograms sent
to various states yesterday. l have
placed sixteen additional delegates in
the doubtful column, twelve of which
are from New Jersey. Of the 604 dele
gates elected to date, Mckinley has just
about S5la per cent. Ii he continues at
this rate to the end he will have 325
votes out of "a total of 9lS when the
convention assemblies. exactly the num-
ber that the friends of Mr.. Reed and
the other candidates have conceded to
him from the active commencement of
the campaign.

estimate for Tennessee upon further
information from that state

STATES BELOW PREDICTION.


1t will be seen that Kentucky, New
Mexico and ITath have fallen below my
estimate. five in Kentucky. one in New
Mexico. and one in Utah; while Geor-
gia. Indiana. Kansas. Illinois. North
Dakota, oklahoma. South Carolina
and Wisconsin have all gained. This
comparison of the original estimates.
which aggregate 43S, with the actual
results from elections in eighteen
states show very clearly that the esti-
mate was too low.
There have been elected in states that
| did not claim in that estimate-Min-
nesota, Is; New York, A. and Pennsyl
vania, 2. And it will thus be seen that
If the same ratio of gain is maintained
to the end of the states forming my
original prediction there will not only
be the 4S3 delegates claimed, but there
will be a clear majority of the conven-
ton in those states alone and those in
which we claimed nothing in my ori
ginal estimate.
Following is the present condition of
the Mckinley vote. including as usual
the full vote of Ohio and Indiana:
