HAVING LITTLE OR NO EFFECT.
Bryan's Cook County Campaign No
Worrying Republican Managers.

I Chicago, October 28.-Telephone mes
sages and personal callers kept the cam
paign managers in constant stats of
activity today at the Republican nation
al. state and ssoounty headquarters. The
rank and file of the party were con-
cerned about the effect Mr. Bryan's cam
paign in Cook county might have. 10
all such enquiries the Republican re-
turned the answer that the eleventh
hour effort Of the Democrats would not
change any material number of votes
already fixed on the Repu blioan side and
there was no fear expressed at any of the
headquarters that stampede would fol-
low.
National Committeeman Jamison of
Illinois, who has been the most conser-
vatlve of any party manager here, when
dealing with the Republican side OF the
situation said: 81 feel justified in in
creasing the figures of McKinley's g esti-
mated majority in. Cock county, as re-
thing as defeat here. The Bryan and
Altgeld managers are straining every
effort to carry Illinois on the theory that
this state holds the key Co the situation.
The labor vote here for Mckinley will
be bigger than the Democratic mama
gers have any idea of. We can allow
them 20 per cent of 1t, and then win in
walk. -
The latest reports received by Mr..
Paine were from Indiana. He said that
they showed that the German vote there
was for Mckinley. As to counteracting
the Bryan demonstration, he said the
committee had paid no attention to Mr.
Bryan in this respect for the last three
weeks.

ALFRED STREET FIRE.
Some Suspicious Circumstances Surround
ing Biddeford's Con fiagration.

Biddeford, October 2s.-The adjourned
meeting OF the fire investigating commit
tee met again this NOR ming and Officer
Morgan, the Dolby brothcrs, William
Hight and jeremiah Sullivan were ex-
amined. Hiram Dolby testified that there
was no one in the upper part of the
building on the evening of the fire, and
that he looked the store between half
past seven and eight O'Clock.
Jsre Sullivan testified that he passed
down Alfred street on the night of the
fire and passed the building at about
715. He claims that he saw light flash
Up in the upper part of the building and
that it looked like the striking of a
match. He says that in few minutes
somebody left the. shop and apparently
locked the door.
Either Mr.. Dolby or Mr.. Sullivan are
making great mistake as to when the
door was locked, and the light that was
seen in the upper part of the store at
present is a mystery. The other witness
testimony brought forth nothing of
special Importance, and the meeting was
adjourned till next Tuesday morning at
clOok.

BATH MAN MISSING.
When Last Seen Was in Maine General
Hospital In This City.

William Welsh of Bath came to this
city Saturday to visit his wife, who was
confined to the Maine General hospital,
says the Times. He went in company
with Mr.. Burnham, his wife's brother.
Mr.. Burnham returned that night, but
Mr.. Welsh remained and spent the night
watching by his wife's bedside at the
hospital.
Sunday morning he LETT the hospital
and has not since been seen or heard of
by his friends. Sunday night Mrs.
Welsh died. The hospital authorities
thinking that Mr.. Welsh had returned
home, telegrahped to Bath for him, and
this telegram was the first intimation
that the mother had that her son was
not at the wife's bedside. The body OF
Mrs. Welsh was brought to Bath and
the funeral took place Wednesday.
Before leaving town he drew his pay, and
an amount of money from the bank. the
whole amounting to some $40. Out of
this he paid, after arriving in Portland,
As much of his wife's board at the hospi-
tai as was due, but must have had con-
siderable money left on his person.
Mr.. Welsh knew but three people in
Portland, his mother says. n

ter will result. The main masonry
wall Is only eighs or ten feet thick, and

the recommendation for three additional

to the effective force of the navy. During

six gun boats, seven torpedo boats and
one tug are to be added.
Constructor Hichborn declares that the
naval stations and docks at Port Royal,
cannot be properly utilized without the
erection of shops, for which he urges
authority. The major part of the report
is devoted to exposing the short comings
of the reserve supply system. which
renders it expensive and tedious to repair
vessels. Practice has shown the frequent
necessity of open market requisition for
this work, and strong arguments are
presented for increase in the supply fund
