The New York journal Thinks The
Next Congress Will BE Democratic.
New YORK, Oct. 29.-The Journal
will publish tomorrow forecast of
the coming elections throughout tn q
country, basing its estimates on an
exhaustive canvass and an eXamina-
ton of the claims of the leaders of
the various parties.
In the national elections, the fore
cast in the matter of 30 Senators to
be chosen gives IL to the Democrats,
IL to the Republicans, and on five
the reports are so conflicting and
the fight so close that no prophecy
may be ventured.
The next House of Representa-
tives, according to this forecast,
will number 1853 Democrats, 1876 Re-
publcans, l6 fusion Representatives
and 81 doubtful. Even in the un-
likely event of these 81 doubtful
ones turning out to be Republicans
their party is still in minority OF
IL as against the combined Demo
Gratis and fusion Representatives

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Summing up
an elaborate forecast of tho Novem-
Der elections, based on reports from
the several States, the New York
Herald tomorrow will foreshadow
the election of Judge Van Wyck as
Governor of New York; the proba-
BILE election of Republican Legisla-
ture, which will choose successor to
Edward Murphy, Jr., in the United
States Senate; continued control of
the House of Representatives by a
majority of between 10 and 20, and
Republican control of the Senate by
a majority ranging from one to four
votes. This forecast is made with
considerable reserve, and the Her
aid is careful to say that the cam
paign is still in progress, and that
its figures cannot be accepted as
final.
There is nothing in the situation
anywhere" the Herald adds. Ito
indicate either "A Republican or a
Democratic landslide, but the un-
expected may happen. All expert
ced politicians agree that landslides
come as surprises, and there is an
ominous feeling of unrest in the
Middle West, as well as in the ru-
raj communities in the East"
In Canvassing the State in New
York a Democratic plurality of
Z, 100 is shown on the face of the
Herald returns. This is an ultra
conservative estimate ranging from
10000 to 10000 votes under Van
Wyck's plurality, as figured by
other independent observers. A
landslide, indeed, is imminent in
this State, which will not only elect
Judge Van Wyck by an overwhelm-
ing plurality, but also Democratic
members of the Legislature in many
doubtful districts. Congressional
gains also will be made by the Dem.

WANTS THE WHOLE GROUP.

President viii Have the Philippines,
Even If 1t Takes Money to Get Them.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-It is stated
on good authority that the President
has at last become fully convinced
that the United States can not
escape the obligation of taking all
the Philippines. He at first con
templated demanding no more than
the island Of Luzon, with revisit
onary interest in the other islands
of the group; but since that time he
has had revelation of the public
feeling on the subject, and has been
overwhelmed with letters and reso-
buttons urging that the United States
take all the islands. He has there
fore finally determined to demand
the whole of the group. 1t is prOba.
BILE that financial concessions will
be made to Spain in connection with
the Philippines.

BOARD OF ALDERMAN.

Mr.. II. f. Fariss Resigns and Mr.. j. r.
Martin Elected in His Place.
At the regular monthly meeting
of the Board of Mayor and Alder
men last Friday night, Alderman H.
F. Fariss resigned as Alderman Of
the Third Ward, and Mr.. J. r. Mar
tin was elected in his stead. The
cause of Mr.. Fariss' resigning was
that he had examined the post
Office laws and did not think it con-
sistent that he should serve as
Alderman while acting as Post
master.
The Board also contracted for the
sale of the northern portion of Fifth
street between Main and Garden, to
Messrs. G. H. Wallace and w. w.
Cherry, under the condition that

FRANZ JOSEF WILL WE'D.
The Emperor of Austria Will Marry Ex-
Queen of Spain.

Queen of Spain.
NEW YORK, Oct. 30 -(Copyright,
1898, by w. r. Hearst. "A report is
circulated among European courts
that the Emperor Franz Josef of
Austria will marry the Princess
Maria de Las Mercedes of Spain,
who was Queen during the six
months between her fathers death
and the birth of her brother, AlphOn-
50 XIII.
The Emperor is nearly 70, the Prin-
cess Just l8. He is the most unhap-
py monarch in the world. His wife,
son and brother have died by vio-
lence.
She represents the most decrepit
nation in the world. The marriage
is needed for the salvation of Austria
and the peace of Europe. If the EN-
peror has no other heir than his dis
graced nephew his empire will go to
pieces. In that event the universal
European conhagration will break
out.

clergymen in the state. The long and
successful pastorate of DR.. Conley had
marked a season of prosperity in the
history of the First Baptist church,
and in the selection of DR.. Stillwell
the church people feel that the work
will be carried on with the same zeal
and interest which characterized Dr.
Conley.
The announcement was made last
Sunday that the committee would be
ready with their report on Wednesday,
The report embodied a set of resolu-
lions extending DR.. Stillwell formal
call, preceded by a preamble reciting
the history of the pastorate of DR.. Con-
ley, and containing a sketch of Dr.
StillWell
The salary named in the call is 81, 500
About the fifteenth of next month the
First Baptist church expects to well
come Dr. Stillwell in case he accepts,
and there seems to be no doubt thai
he will do so.
DR.. Stillwell was born in Pennsyl-
vania and is forty years of age. He
grew up on farm and at the age of
eighteen entered upon a four years
course in Bucknen university. Upon
completing the course he attended the
CroZier Theological seminary.
His first ministerial work was as as
sistant pastor of the First Baptist
| church OF Philadelphia. In 1884 he was
called to the Baptist church OF Free
hold, n. j., and while there he accept
ed the call to the Calvary church, Min
neapolis.
1t is expected that a reply will be
forthcoming from Calvary's pastor by
Sunday, when it will be announced at
the morning service.

FREE STORAGE DECISION.
Common Carriers Can Furnish Such
Facilities Only when All Ship
rers Are Benefited.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The inter
state commerce commission today, in
an opinion by Commissioner Yeomans,
announced it's decision of the case
brought by the American Warehouse
Mems association against the Illinois
Central Railroad company and fifty
two other carriers known as the Free
Storage Case"
II holds that q common carrier, with
no general duty to act as a warehouse
man for indefinite periods in cOnnec-
ton with it's primary obligations as a
common carrier, cannot assume to pro-
vide shippers with valuable warehouse
facilities, which are not essential to it's
business as a carrier. without furnish
ing them for all shippers, at all times
and upon the same terms and notifying
the public.
Carriers will, therefore, be required to
plainly indicate upon the schedules
published and filed with the commits
sion, what storages in stations, ware
houses or cars will be permitted, and
all the terms and conditions upon
which the same has been granted
The order takes effect April /, 1898.
and from the date all carriers must
cease granting storage, which is not a
necessary and ordinary part of receiv-
ing and delivering freight, unless the
same is specified in the schedule.
