NEW YORK, August pa special
long and thorough scrutiny of the
letters and kilograms 1 am able to give
Major McKinley's own estimate of the
probable results in November. Joseph
P. Smith, who used to be State Libra
rion of Ohio, is and has been the
statistician for the Major. For the
following information, which embodies
a digest of Major McKinley's mail, l
am indebted TO Mr.. Smith and John
NJ Downey.
Mr. Smith, speaking for Major Nc
Kinley, said today: 1T is early to
prognosticate the result of the Presi-
Dental election, but reports from COM
petent and careful men in all parts of
the Union and in almost every State
warrant me in the belief that Mckinley
and Hobart will carry at least twenty
eight States, and receive fully 302 Elec
toral votes and a majority of the popu-
lar vote.
81 am confident from these reports
that Mckinley and Hobart will carry
the following States, with the Electoral
votes here specified: New Hampshire
4, California 9, Iowa IS, Connecticut 6,
Kansas 10, Delaware 8, Maine 6, Illinois
"a, Maryland 8, Indiana Is, Massachu
sets Is, Michigan IA, New Jersey 10,
Minnesota 9, New York SO, Nebraska
8, North Dakota 6, Pennsylvania 81,
Ohio %, Oregon 4, Rhode Island 4,
South Dakota 4, Vermont 4, Washing
ton 4, West Virginia 6, Wyoming 8,
Kentucky Is.
ct will be observed that in this esti-
mate are included three Southern
States, Kentucky, Maryland and West
Virginia. Several other States usually
Democratic are also included, namely
Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana and
New Jersey. In New York since 1856
the chances between the parties have
been about even. In my judgmnt the
States I have named are almost certain
to go Republican. The protection SEN
timent is strong in all of them.
1.-The Republican opportunity is not
limited by the States I have named.
Indeed similar special reports, written
to me by prominent conservative citi-
zens who calculate carefully the trend
of public opiniin, would put in the
doubtful column all the following
States: Colorado, Idaho, Louisiana,
Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina,
Tennessee, Utah and Virginia, and with
seventy-three Electoral votes"

Japanese Negotiating for Trade at
Southern Ports.
SAN DIEGO, August 21.-The Union
this morning publishes a story to the
effect that the Togo Kisen Kaisha, the
Japanese steamer line coming to San
Diego, has made traffic arrangements
with the Tehuantepec Railroad.
Says the Union: LAS an example Of
the business-like proceedings of the
Togo Kisen Kaisha, it was learned yes
terday that S. Tamioko has been in the
City OF Mexico for a week getting in
formation as to running steamers along
the Mexican coast as far south as San
Benito.
"Tamioko was supposed 10 have gone
to Chicago with Asano, but went Gi-
rectIy to Mexico. He was empowered
by Asano to enter into negotiations
with the Government for the establish
ment of a steamship line to touch at
all principal ports, including Mazatlan,
San Bias. Manzanillo, Acapulco, Salina
Cruz and San BenitO.
while in Mexico Tamioko inter-
viewed Sir Wnetman Pearson, lessee
of the Tehuantepec railroad, and
reached an agreement with that road
for handling through freight. The Jap
anese Minister of Commerce Viscount
Enomotoa, has signified a desire to es-
tablish connections with the Tehuan-
! tepec road, and a suggestion from him
is equivalent to an order, as he con-
trolls the Government subsidy to steam
ship companies.
| when Sho NemOto, Commissioner
! of Commerce and Industry. was in
San Diego, he stated positively that the
! Togo Kisen Kaisha would make traffic
arrangements with the TehuantePeC
railroad if possible. He was in Mexico
some weeks before Tamioko arrived
and interviewed Sir Whetman Pear
/ son. The significance of this move on
the part of the Togo Kisen Kaisha is
| important to San Diego and confirms
the assurance that steamers viii make

Paul Hofrman's Wealth.
BALTIMORE, Aug. 2O.-Here's re-
markable story. Paul Hoffman's $780,,
OOO, 900 estate has found two claimants,
one a resident of this city, and the
other minister in Georgia. Hoff-
man died several years ago at Bombay,
India, without a will and without any
known heirs. The English govern
ment assumed jurisdiction over the
estate. and, it is asserted, has $35, 000,-
600 in cash and securities now on de-
post in the Bank of England pending
proof of the identity of the deceased s
true heirs. There is other property in
India
The newly discovered claimants are
Wenceslaus Janauschek of this city
and his brother, the Rev. Frank ia
nauschek of Tallapoosa, Ga. They
have put their claim in the hands of
Joseph H. Choate of New York. Wen
ceslaus Janauschek states that Paul
Hoffman was his uncle; that he ran
16 years of age, swearing he would
never live under Austrian rule. He
finally landed in India, rs years ago,
and became a trader. He was pros
porous, established trading stations
for thousands of miles, and when an
impetus was given to agriculture by
the establishment of steamship lines
between the far-away East and Eu-
rope, Hoffman became a planter, as
well as a trader, and acquired thou
sands of acres of land. When aged he
made Intellectual efforts to find his rel
atives, but they all had emigrated to
other parts of the world.
Francis ]. Roman, the local attorney
for the Messrs. Janauschek, confirms
the statement and believes the broth
ers to be the only American heirs to
the old planters millions.
