THE FIFTY-SIXTH CONGRESS.

Reduced Majority.

Reduced Majority.
Washington, Oct. 1O.-The Post pre-
sents today, in a series of dispatches
from correspondents in every state Of
the Union, except Maine, Vermont and
Oregon, where congressional elections
have already been held. review of the
political situation with special ref
erence to the complexion of the next
Eous Of representatives. In summarize
ing its dispatches The Post says:
"While Democratic gains are thus
outlined in many states, the figures
given do not yet make 1t positive that
the Republicans will lose control of the
house. There is at present In the house
of representatives Republican ma
jority of sc over all parties combined,
and this large majority will be difficult
TO completely overcome. There is no
doubt that it will be reduced to very
small number. but the present indica-
tions do not point to its entire disap-
pearance.
"The estimates made by The Post
correspondents show that 166 districts
In the United States will certainly be
Republican in the approaching elec-
tion-unless the unexpected happens
and 10 additional districts will give the
Republicans a majority of the house.
According to The Posts advices there
are no less than AZ doubtful districts.
the large number being in great
measure due to the caution of The
Posts correspondents in declining to
place in the certain column any dis
trict which contains an element OF
doubt. Out of this AZ, however. there
are at least 20 districts in which the
chances are said to favor the Repub-
lcnns."

Thou did st our humble home invade.
And upon wife. and mother dear
Thou hast thy icy fingers laid.
Her cold and liteless body now,

And hor sweet spirit has gone hence,
In paradise to bloom.
In early youth she mcekly bowed,
To the will OF him who rules on high,
And ever faithful to her trust
She so d, ''at last in peace dle."
For months her pains she humbly bore
With fortltudo and grace divine,
She murmured not but even said.

With thoughts OF thee our own dear ono,
We will like thee submissive bow,
And say not our, but thy will be done.
And when with this vain world we re done

And like thee wear royal crown,

GENERAL PARR0N'S ANGER.

Manzanillo, Oct. 1O.-The Spanish
troops left Manzanillo today. General
Parron, the Spanish commander. turn
ed the city over to the mayor, who
made the official transfer to Colonel
Ray, representing the United States.
All the political prisoners here have
been released. The military convicts
will be taken to Cienfuegos and sent
thence to Havana, possibly afterward
to Spain.
A collision between the Spanish gar
rison and Colonel Rays troops last FRI
day was, 1t appears, even nearer than
then seemed to be the case. General
Parron's orders from Havana were to
resist the Americans to the uttermost.
Additional rounds had been issued to
: the troops, and volunteers would prob
ably have brought the Spanish forces
up to 1900, as against fewer than 800
Americans.
General Parron created great scene
at the palace after the incident, strik-
ing terror to the hearts Of his sub
Ordinates He cursed in flowing Cas-
tilian. completely forgot his dignity,
and with the Oaths Of a longshoreman
vowed tnat the honor of the Spanish
army had suffered a blow. The Span

die. and that quickly.
In his fury he sent for the military
commander. but 1t was found that this
officer had left with the Spanish troops
on the Joseiita the night before Then
ba for IN In Mt
asked him why the Americans had been
let through the city gate. The reply
was disclaimer of authority and
suggestion that the inquiry should be
put to the officer who had charge of
the guard. Then it was discovered
that the officer had been withdrawn
several days before. leaving q SER
geant in command.
When the sergeant arrived hS de-
clarcd that General Parron's orders
were to permit the Americans to pass.
THAT was the mules" shrieked Par
ron, mot the soldiers. Away with him
to the guardhouse."
The luckless sergeant has been court
martialed. At first it was reported that
he was to be shot. ThereupOn Collector
Donaldson and the Rev. Mr.. thinner
man, as private citizens, called upon
General Parron to entreat him to do
what he could for the unfortunate man..
ParrOn replied that he was grateful for
the sympathetic feeling displayed by
the Americans in the welfare of the
Spanish soldier, and promised that. il
there was a conviction, he would in
nict the minimum penalty-probab
only few days pay AS the Spanish
rank and file receive no pay anyway,
this would be no very great nnction.
