The Loss of the Philippines to the King
 dom is Inevitable.

London, November S.-The Standard says editorially this morning:
 I've can see no alternative. Spain must accept as inevitable the loss of the Philip pines. No doubt the United States will as- sume heavy and serious responsibility, but it augurs well for the future that the public men of America appreciate and are ready to meet it. England will watch me exp riment with every wish for favo abi issue"

DEAD IN HIS CAB.
Engineer House Ran His Locomotive
 Even After Death.

Kansas City. Mo-, November 7-While the fast refrigerator train on the Chicago and Alton was speeding toward Glendale, just east of here, this evening, Engineer Richard A. House sat dead in his cab, his hand graspng the throttle, his glazed eyes fixed straight ahead on the track and a smile on his face.
 Fireman John Wendell, who had been busy for some minutes in the tender, walk ed into the cab, continuing his firing, and 1t was not until he spoke to House that he discovered that his mate was dead. The train was stopped the remains were car red back to the caboose and at Glendale transferred to an incoming train. The cause of his death is not known.

Jackson & Co.'S Stock Letter

(By Private Wire to Jackson x Co)
 Birmingham, November 7.-Republican success is predicted. Naturally today's market reflected bull operations in the standard shares. London quotations for Americans were steady at New York par ity. Conditions generally were considered favorable to the bulls, although news on the coalers continued bearlsh. Neither pro- ducers, carriers nor dealers are satisfied with conditions. and there appears to be no effective remedy in sight Continued good support was noticeable in Louisville & Nashville and 1t is now asserted that dividends will be begun in February. The stock has been off the Est so long. and the company has wiped off everything in the nature of doubtful book entry that when it once joins the dividend ranks again it is expected that a constant betterment will be the result. There was comparatively lit- tie public business today, and evidences of professional manipulation in several in stances were not lacking.

 Birmingham November 7--Neither the bulls nor the bears were very enthusiastic in today's market In view of the holiday tomorrow both sides were inclined to re- lease themselves from old obligations. The market opened steady. with prices from 1 to points higher. There was light de- mand from local shorts at the start. Re- ceipts did not overrun estimates, while crop and weather reports indicated continued fa- vorable conditions in the cotton belt as in- dicated. Scarcely any orders came to hand from Liverpool or the south, and in- vestment business was conspicuous by it's absence. For . time the ring was bidding and offerings became quite limited.

London, November s-The Daily Chroni-i cle says this morning:
 "We have received information from reliable quarter of well organized plot m Paris in the event of the inquiry before tne court of cessation proving favorable to Dreyfus to foment a riotous outburst ID the French capital, to attempt to overthrow the civil power and to assassinate the lead7 ing champions of Dreyfus.

 New York, November 1.-The days stock market undoubtedly reflected the conviction of operators in securities that with election uncertainties out of the way the strong condition of the country industries and business will have their effects, and prices will advance. This conviction, so far as 1t found reflection in the market was almost purely professional for the outside inter- est as shown by orders through commits son houses, was very small. The profess sional element showed disposition to take profits pending the holiday, although there has been sufficient rise in the last two days to turn the balance of operations to that side. The evidence was rather on the side of covering of shorts, and trading proceeded in very desultory manner dur ing the early hours. Although the selling for foreign accounts, which was fairly lib- eral was well absorbed, prices of the in- : ternatonal stocks were fairly maintained. Southern railway preferred was an exam pie, but as the day wore on the market gained in activity and strength, and em- braced an increasing list. The contempla- ton of the very heavy volume of bank exchanges and the enormous export busi- ness in cereals had their influence on the bullsh tendency, as did the continued fa- cially from the, west and south. An in- crease of 4,000 tons in the eastbound freight movement from Chicago was feature.

IDAHO

Boise, Ida, November 1.-The last day before the election closes there is no ma terai change in the situation. In all the headquarters an air of confidence Is found. The republican confidence is based largely upon suppostions that a great many dem ocrats will leave the fusion ranks and vote for the populist candidate for govern or and the populst congressman
 The best information does not indicate any drift to the populists, and it seems likely that they will not make much of a showing. The indications are that the re- publlcans will not have enough votes to elect their ticket, though there is possi- bllity of their candidate for governor be- ing successful

WEST VIRGINIA.

Charleston, w. Va, November 7.-Ihe in- dications are that the democrats will elect three out of four candidates for congress and have the legislature on joint batlot by a narrow margin. Chairman Dawson or the republican state committee says the republicans win have all four congressman and a majority of the legislature, the elec- ton of a republican United States senator to succeed Senator Faulkner. The demo- cratic chairman says: "Advices from every section indicate that the natural reaction from the phenomenal republican effort in 1896, general apathy and the disappointed applicants for office will produce democratic ealns sufficient to make the legislature de' atic on joint ballot by narrow mar 6H It is not improbable that the same causes will result fin political landslide similar to that of 1890. when the state went over 5000 democratic. The democrats will carry two out of the four congressional dis tricts, and may carry all"

New York, November 1.-The Evening Posts London financial cablegram says:
 The stocok markets here opened steady today, but soon gave way. There was an entire lack of support, with no bear account to assist the markets. Americans were ex- ceptionally good closing at the best. Ap- pearances favor striking out a somewhat independent course, although a bad politi- cal situation would of course deter opera tors in that market here. The London mar ket exchange rate remains at 31s per cent. Germany is buying gold moderately.

visions show no substantial change. Near ly all of the activity of the wheat market was confined to the first forty-fve minutes trading. There was a very evident un- willingness among big and little shorts to leave their contracts uncovered over to- morrow's holiday and the demand from this source while 1t lasted was very potent. The main additional support of the market apparently came from the uneaslness in England over the political situation.

Paine. Murphy < Co.'S Stock Letter

Birmingham, November 7.-Today's trad ing was not on a large scale, but the best trading was in the railways, all of which advanced practically on earnings reported, which were all good increases, especially Southern and Nashville. In the former there Is strong talk of an impending bull movement. The Changers advanced from A to % above Saturdays closing figures. The local feeling favors a republican vcto- ry, and shorts consider it good policy to cover over the election. In the Trusts To- bacco and Sugar were leaders. The former advanced 3 per cent. a share, and the lat ter about 1 per cent. Other trusts were also strong. Surface roads, under the lead of Metropolitan, showed good advances. A summary of the entire Hist shows confi- dence and strength, and it is a conservative prediction that whatever the political out come may be, stocks will soon move to a higher level upon earnings, cheap money and confidence in the greatest country that ever gave franchise to its citizens.

BattIeship and Cruiser.

The difference between a battleshir and an armored cruiser is technical, and experts have stumbled over the matter. A battleship is supposed to have heavier guns and armor and to be better fitted to withstand hard knocks from an op- posing force. But this does not always hold good, as may be seen in the case of the Maine as compared with the Brook lyn. The Maine was battleship, but she was not so large nor so heavily ar mored as the armored cruiser Brooklyn On one point there seems to be no dis pute, and that is the fact that the cruisers are faster than the battleships, and it is conceded also that in most in- stances the battleships are better pro- tected New York Tribune.

A Strange Love Affair.

A touching romance in the life of the late Charles Pelham Villiers, Father of the House of Commons, has been disclosed by his death. In early life he fell deeply in love with Miss Mel fish, and his affection was returned as far as could be done by lady who for some reason had taken a VOW to lead a single life. Mir. Villiers remained true to his first love, and never married, and his constancy so touched Miss Mellish that in her will she left all her fortune considerable One-to him ab- solutely. He, however, never touched the money, leaving 1t to accumulate with interest, while he lived very sim- ply on his own modest revenue, SUD- plemented by his cabinet pension. By the time of MT. Villiers' death the cap- ital originally left by Miss Mellish had grown to a sum considerably over f250,000 sterling. Of this total he, by his will, left E15O,OOO to Rev. Mon- tague Vllhers, vicar of St. Paul's, Knightsbridge, and a somewhat simi- lar sum to Ernest Villiers.-London Telegraph.

A Weak Brother.

Penn had a very strong aversion to tobacco. Once he came unexpectedly upon some of the Friends who were en- toying the fragrant weed, but out of respect for their great leader they hid their pipes, which, however, still con- tinued to emit smoke. Perceivjng this, the governor said pleasantly, Well, friends, l am glad to see that you are at last ashamed of your old practice.
 "Not entirely so, '' replied one of the brethren, "but we preferred laying down our pipes to the danger of offend ing a weaker brother. D
