Mr.. Wntson,s Conrse.

Mr.. Watson, although his party has no
ticket in this state, says he will not with
draw as the candidate of his party, for
Vice President, and there is no reason to
doubt that he is thoroughly sincere in
making that statement. Those of the pop
ulists who have been true to their party
cannot reasonably find any fault with Mr..
Watson. His course has been straight
forward one. He accepted the vice presi-
Dental nomination with the understand
ing that he would be dealt with fairly.
There was some ground for thinking that
he would be given Mr.. sewalls place on
the democratic ticket. He didn't get that
place, however, and, in fact, he doesn't
appear to have got anything out of the
campaign except a chance to make few
speeches. AS far as we are able to see
his wishes in no important particular
have been complied with. Even his letter
of acceptance appears to have been sup
pressed. Never before was a vice presi-
Dental candidate so completely bottled up.
He cannot even vote for Mr.. Bryan with
out voting for Mr.. sewall. and many of
the middle OF the IOtu pOpu4iSb WOuiu
rather vote for Mckinley and Hobart
than Mr. Sewall.
Mr. Watson's experience has been a
most unfortunate one as far as gaining
the ends he aimed at are concerned. Still,
as we have already said, he will come
out of the. contest as much respected as
when he went into it, because he has done
nothing to which his bitterest enemy could
take exception. 1t isn't his fault because
his party has practically failed to get
the share of recognition in the campaign
to which it considered itself entitled.
1t seems to be understood that Mr.. Wat
son will take no further part in the cam
paign, but will await at his home the re-
suit of the election. 1t is doubtless q
source of satisfaction to him that he is
not in any respect responsible for the fail
use of the pepulists to play the part II
the election they had planned to play.

city is Ashbel p. Fitch, Tammany hold

city clean streets than any dozen Tam

that one of these days he will find out
that he has been mistaken all along.

Forecasts of the Election.

1t will be somewhat interesting TO
watch the forecasts of the election, which
will appear in the public prints from now
until election day. There are individuals
ana newspapers that are certain they
know what the result of the election will
be, and they are anxious to give the public
the benefit Of their knowledge. On Sun
day, the New York Herald published
forecast which was also published by
number of other papers on the same day.
We assume that the Herald is no better
Informed as to what the result Of the
election viii be than dozen or more other
newspapers. and not nearly so well as
quite a number of the campaign managers
of each of the great parties. Therefore,
in view of the fact that about every one
who undertakes to make a forecast pre-
sents figures which differ from the fig
ures Of every other one, it is fair to con-
clude that each of the forecasts is but
little more than a guess.
According to the Herald Mckinley
is certain of 2lS electoral votes and Bryan
of only 143. OF the electoral votes from
doubtful states it gives Mckinley AZ
and Bryan o. From this it will be seen
that the Herald regards McKinley's
election certain. He may get only 2lS
electoral votes-A more than is necessary
to elect him--or he may get 29O.
When, however, we notice the states
which the Herald claims for Mckinley
there is doubt as to whether the Herald
understands the political situation sufi-
GENTLY well TO occupy the position of a
political forecaster>
For instance, the Herald thinks it is
certain that Mckinley will get Maryland
Indiana and Kansas. There is no GER
tainty that he will get any one of them.
Both Kentucky and NIndiana are very
doubtful states. No man can say with
great degree of certainty whether they
will cast their electoral votes for McKin-
ley or not. Only day or two ago it was
published from reliable source that
Mr.. Hanna was in very great doubt as to
what the result in Michigan would be.
Even Maryland is regarded at the
republican headquarters as being in the
doubtful column. West Virginia also is
a doubtful state. 1t is readily seen, there
fore, that McKinley's election is not as
sured by any means.
Mr.. Hanna, chairman of the republican
national campaign committee. has given
it out that Mckinley is sure of all the
doubtful middle western states, and that
he will be elected. On the other hand
Senator Jones, chairman of the demo-
cratic national campaign, is just as posi-
tive as it is possible for a man to be, who
is in posse ssion of the best sources of in
formation, that Bryan will be elected,
and he is supported in this view by Mr..
Bryan himself. On Saturday Mr.. Bryan
stated that he regarded his election as
certain-in fact, he stated that he had
no doubt about it. He has had ample
opportunities to judge of the feeling
among the people and he knows they are
with him.
Therefore, we cannot see that the
Herald's forecast has any special signifi-
canoe Its weather forecasts sometimes
hit the mark, but they miss it oftener
than they hit 1t. Those, therefore, who
have put their faith in the Herald's guess
er are in danger of being disappointed

The Fruit Trade Journal of New York
reports that representatives of fruit COM
mission houses and shippers called upon
the officials of the Pennsylvania Railway
Company recently and urged the necessity
of reduced rates on fruits during the
coming season. The railroad people list
ened to the committee courteously,. and
requested that a written statement con-
tanning facts and figures relative to the
fruit business be sent to them. When
the data desired have been received they
will calculate upon a reduction of rates.
Traffic Manager Joyce, Of the Pennsyl-
vania. assured his visitors that due con-
siderauon would be given the fruit men
in the schedule of rates to be prepared
for the next season. The fruit people
desire to secure specific freight charges
from southern points TO western mar
kets, and from the same points to the
eastern markets. Heretofore the Pennsyl-
vania system has been something Of a
stumbling block in the way Of securing
specific rates.

New YOrk's Supremacy in Danger.


In our dispatches yesterday it was stated
that the Illinois Central railroad has just
completed magnificent wharves at the
head of Louisiana avenue, New Orleans,
and that that great railroad was prepar-
ing for a large export and import busl-
ness. This looks as If a mighty effort
was being made to change the direction
of much OF the carrying trade of the coun-
try. 1t has not been very long since
nearly all the grain and provisions ex-
ported passed through New York. A
change has taken place. A very large
part of the grain exported now goes by
way of New Orleans, and other southern
ports are preparing to handle grain. The
indications are that before many years
the most of the grain and provisions of
the west will go abroad by way of south
ern ports. If these ports get control OF
the bulk of the export trade they will be
able to control a large proportion of the
imports. The ships that take the grain
and cotton win bring return cargoes.
Philadelphia has lost her export and
import trade and it begins to look as IL
New York. in the course of few years.
would lose very large part of this trade.
1t will be hard. of course, to get it away
from her because of her great railroad
systems leading to the west, her many
steamship lines to the different parts of
Europe and her vast capital Still, she
has not been able to hold the grain carry
ing trade and if she loses much more
of that she may lose a great deal of the
importing business. 1t is evident that the
Illinois Central railroad would not invest
so much money in building great wharves
at New Orleans unless it believed that
the time is approaching when the greater
part of the exporting and importing busi-
ness of the west and south would be done
through southern ports.

SEALS THEIR FATE
LAST HOPE OF THE ENTOMBED
MINERS HAS BEEN CUT
OFF.
SECOND BIG cAvE-IN.
IN THAT PART OF THE NINE
WHERE THE VICTIMS ARE
HELD.
DEAD NUMBER HALF A HUNDRED
Official Statement shows There are
Fifty-Nine Men Imprisoned In
81 the Twin Shaft.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, July Am
other extensive cave-in occurred in the
workings of the Twin shaft shortly
after midnight. The cave-in was in
that portion Of the mine where the
victims are thought to be. 1t made a.
terrible report and was heard all over
the town. The fall must have been a
very heavy one. 1t had the effect of
driving the rescuers out of the slope,
for the tinbers around them imme-
diately began to sway and crack A
fall in the slope may occur at any mo-
ment. The news of the second cave
in has had most discouraging eff
feet on everybody.
There are fifty-nine men, living or
dead, imprisoned in the depths Of the
doomed mine. This is the official num-
Der and there is no reason to think it
Is incorrect. The wives of five Hun
garians declare that these men, too,
are in the mine. but this Is disputed
by the timekeeper, who says that the
Huns drew their pay last week and
went to Pittsburg to work IL. the soft
coal mines. They simply deserted their
families, but their wives will not be-
lieve it.
At 8 o'clock the situation was more
encouraging than 1t had been at any
time since the cave-in. AT that hour
the men who had been at work since
o'clock came out and the O'clock
shift went on duty. The afternoon men
reported that they had reached the
edge of the fallen rock and had begun
to load 1t In cars which are hoisted to
the head of the slope by a stationary
engine. The point where the men were
supposed to be was still six hundred
feet beyond. The night shift continues
the work of loading debris. One of the
miners said they had come across a
number of tools which had been used
by miners.
The bore hole which was started in
the Clear Spring mine, which adjoins
the Twin shaft. to pierce the pallar of
100 feet of solid coal between the work.
ings of the two mines did not prove as
successful as was hoped. When the
drill was in about 35 feet 1t struck rock
and had to be Abandoned At noon to-
day new hole was started. A diamond
drill is being used and it is estimated
that the job will require SO hours if
all goes well. If the cave-in does not
extend to that Of the mine rescuers will
start in from that point. In case, how
ever, this era beyond the Clear Spring
Is also affected and Squeezing" the
rescuers would not dare to venture in
beyond the barrier and to pursue the
search, they would have to begin
timbering and propping as the men on
the other side are doing.
