w. 49,
NEW YORK. Nov, 1.-THE Journal
and Advertiser to-day says:
In an interview last night William c.
Whitney said: III the Democracy be
true to Itself it Will resume control Of
the nation in 1900" Mr.. Whitney was
in England on election day; he said he
knew too little Of election results 10

the Improvement in Democratic condl-
lions and declared the outlook hopeful
for the party.
Restoration of the party to power
depends on the party itself. II har-
mOny 1t will win. / should say
thar the tendency OF Democratic
thought is toward a restoration OF har-
mony. To that extent the status Of the
party as q political organization is i'm
proved"
Does the complete restoration Of
harmony in the Democratic party de-
pend upon a change in the issues upon
which its national battle was fought
last Year,"

replied the ex-secretary.
Mr.. Whitney declared himself out d
politics and would so no deeper into az
analysis OF election results. He JIG no,
say. however, that he would not takA
part In the future battles Of the stas
and national Democracy. Although 10
has held aloOf from the councils OF the
party since the campaign OF 1896, his
friends understand his interest in its
success has not waned and that he may
resume his former share in It's leader
ship when the occasion is timely. And
that depends on what is done with the
silver issue.
While the Democratic platform and
line OF campaign in Greater New York
were laid down in complete independ-
ence OF the gold Democratic faction 10
which in 1896 Mr.. Whitney belonged.
he was understood TO have approved
the strict adherence to local issues and
the waiving Of the silver question by
the party managers. II now appears
that he, in common with many other
party leaders, believes that the silver
question will not be the dominant issue
In 1900, and that the party division re-
sulting from 1t in 1896 will not exist In
the next national campaign.

A pertinent comment on the need for

talned In the advice OF a physician the
other day 10 h mother who consulted
him In regard to having the tonsils OF
her ~sIX-Fear-old boy removed. His
condition seems very poor from some
cause" she said, 'and I dread even this
slight operation" The physician point
ed out that his condition was the direct
result of enlarged tonsils, You say"

shown again and again that merely to

rooms in city homes are used as bed

cheap expedient OF a curtain stretched
across the door-opening about twelve or
eighteen inches below the top could be
managed. This device Is much better
than nothing. Some day there will be a
law against building a house without q
transom In every sleeping room.

CIVIL ERYICE BILL.

Springfield, H., March 31,-In view
of the approach of the m~ayoralty
election in Chicago and the possible
sweeping changes in city employees,
considerable interest is taken in a bill
introduced in the state Legislature by
Senator Morrison. The bill amends
the civil service law by providing that
all employees of the city of Chicago,
appointed prior to the taking effect Of
the law, shall be entitled to its full
protection and shall have the same
standing as though they had passed
the required examination. Should the
bill pass. it is estimated that some g.
600 employees will be affected.

Guthrie, Okla, March 81. The latest
details from Chinder states that 45
persons were killed and 200, badly
hurt by the cyclone which struck that
place yesterday evening. At 2:30 this
morning a telegram was received here
from Chandler asking for more help.
The surrounding towns were notified
and rescuing parties have started for
the scene of the disaster.
The entire business portion of the
town is wrecked. 1t is now thought
that there are % or 80 more dead bod
les in the burned ruins.
The scene is awful and several Of
the injured are raving crazy. The main
street of the town is a mass of dead
and injured people, and teams, wag-
'ons. buggies, trees and other movable
articles are strewn along the streets.
Justice Dale, who is holding court,
ran with his wife to a hollow, and held
her behind a large bowlder and both
were unhurt.
Every building on main street was
wrecked and burned, including the
courthouse, p~ostoffice, News and
Democrat offices, Lincoln County
bank. New York store and several no.

NEWPORT SCARED.
They're Afraid Admiral Bunce VIII
Take Away Their War College.

They're Afraid Admiral Bunce Will
Take Away Their War College.
Newport, r. l., March 31.-There is
much uneasiness in this city over the
retirement in a few days of Rear Ad-
miral Ramsay, because of the posi-
bility that Admiral Bunce may be ap-
pointed as his successor in the office
of chief of the bureau on navigation.
Admiral Ramsay has always been
opposed to the location of the war col
lege in Newport, claiming that it's
proper place is in Annapolis, as an ad-
iunct to the Naval Academy. On sew
eral occasions he has made his posi-
ton felt. 1t is known here that Adj
miral Bunce leans strongly towards
the views of Admiral Ramsay and it
is feared that his persistent opposi-
ton may result in the removal of the
college to Annapolis.
1t is asserted that should the col
lege be removed the torpedo nrac-
tice station would quietly follow.
Thps two institutions mentioned
disburse for salaries and supplies each
year between $250,0O0 and 100000.
Should this money be taken out OF
circulation in this city, the result
would be disastrous to local business
interests.

out of the windows screaming for

In the terror and confusion it was
impossible to tell who had escaped.
Those who made their way out were
taken in by their neighbors and cared
for.
The firemen learned that there was
a woman and a baby in the upper
floor. The negro hall boy said the
woman had come to the window and
made a motion as if she would throw
the child into the street and had then
disappeared. A desperate attempt
was made to reach the top floor over
the roof, but it proved impossible.
A sixty-foot ladder was run up and
the firemen climbed in, but they were
unable tO find any living soul and the
smoke and flames prevented them
from going inside. A rope was tied
about the body of Wischessen, N of
the firemen on the roof, in the hope
that he might be able to get into the
apartment. He was lowered over the
roof but could not reach the window
and was drawn back. The crowd,
having heard the woman was impris-

men breathlessly as they made their
attempts at rescue. Women looked
with tears running down their cheeks
and some of them sobbed and turned
away as the firemen were beaten
back. A dozen streams of water were
by this time playing on the building
and the fire which had gotten through
the roof was yielding. 1t was not eX-
tinguished. however, until the build
ing had been thoroughly drenched
and the water was pouring in cata-
racts down the stairs and through the
holes in the floors. 1t was then seen
that the upper floor and the rear of
the building had been completely
wrecked.
Search for the tenants to ascertain
if any had failed to escape began.
Mrs. French's body was found on a
couch in the parlOr near the window.
She held her child clasped in her left
arm and had drawn her skirts around
it to protect it. Her other arm was
thrown acros her breast as If to
guard the child still further. The ba-
by's face was pressed against the
mothers BOSOM A short distance
MOrriSey. The women had evidently
been suffocated by smoke as the fire
had hardly reached her.
Another dangerous fire occurred in
the city last night and for a time
many lives were in danger. 1t occur
red in the Manhattan State Asylum
for the insane on Ward Station and
the greater part of the west wing of
the building, set apart for male pa
tients, was destroyed. The seven
hundred patients in the wing that was
burned behaved admirably. The
flames leaped around them and flow
ing sparks fell from the walls and
ceiling on their heads and clothing,
but they did not manifest fright. AS
a result no one was injured.
