and everything will be done that looks
to victory. OF course the Democratic
committee has not had much money
for campaign purposes Democratic
committees never do have, but this
has been made up in large measure
by the enthusiasm of many volunteer
workers. The campaign has been well
conducted, and indications now are
that the hard work will bear good
fruit.

Captain William r. Heckert, who has
charge of the commandery drills al
Schennily park next Wednesday, an
nounces that there will be no compeJi-
tive exhibition the late war with Spain
having called many knights into the
volunteer service.
This fact comes as a great disaD-
pointment to the knights. as the COM
petitive drills have always been fea-
ture of every conclave.
The programme for the Schennily
park exhibition next Wednesday will be
as follows:
Drill by bicycle corps, Swift's brigade
of Allegheny, Detroit No. 1, ST. Ber-
nard No. 50, Chicago; Louisville No. l,

Washington Office of The Herald,
1915 G Street, N. w.

Washington, Oct. 5.-The interest of
Washington politicians is now largely
conferred in the outcome of the cam
paign in New York, where one of the
prettiest fights in many years is in
progress. The only element of doubt
in the campaign is furnished by the
personality of Roosevelt. The Repub-
licans are banking heavily on his war
record to win votes. That he viii get
some support from enthusiastic young
Democrats who admire the rough rid
ers' leader, is unQuestioned; but Roose-
Welt has elements of weakness that are
almost necessarily fatal, and these are
expected to lose him very many more
votes than his war record will win. 1t
rs his fortune to be. mistrusted alike
by the partisan Republicans and by
the radical reformers. The former fear
him for a civil service reform freak
governor, and the latter mistrust him
because he is the candidate of the most
Thomas G. Platt.
In Greater New York, Roosevelt is
personally identified with the operation
of the VIGOROUSLY stringent and I'M
popular Raines law, and its unneces-
sarily severe enforcement. 1t was the
revolt against this law to which the
tremendous reaction against the Re-
publican party in the new world me-
tropolis was largely due. 1t is con-
coded, even at Republican headquar-
tiers, that Roosevelt will lose heavily
in the German sections of the great
city.

THE SULTAN'S ALTERNATIVE.
Either Yield to the Powers Or Lose
Possession of Crete.

Constantinople, Oct. S.-The ulti-
matum of the powers on the subject of
the evacuation Of the island of Crete
by the Turkish troops declared that
should the sultan refuse to yield he
will lose his sovereign rights in Crete.
This has irritated Turkish circles. They
call the action of the powers unjust,
and ho9e is entertained that Russia
will decline to cooperate with the
other powers, in which case it is be-
iieved the latter will not resort TO ex-
tremities. In diplomauc circles com
ment has been excited by the fact that
the censor permitted the newspapers
here to reproduce the dispatch in which
Russia, replying to Great Britain, de-
clared she was opposed to violent
measures. and would protest before
hand against thei- complement.
This is believed - be an attempt to
make Great Britain alone responsible
for any coercion.

Denver, Colo, Oct. s.-George Ram
dali, negro, has been arrested. on the
charge of having murdered Mrs. Julius

terday in her apartments, where she
had been strangled to death with a

on the woman, made some damaging
admissions while under the influence

among her effects showed she had fire.

course, admire personal bravery. but
that does not commit them to the adj
Vocacy Of any such freak administra-
ton. as Roosevelt would surely give
them. This fact is one upon which
the friends of the Democratic ticket
rely to give Judge Van Wyck thou
sands of votes. The Democratic can
dldate is exactly the reverse of .Roose-
welt. He is cool instead of excitable,
conservative rather than radical, and
has an admirable record on the bench.
He is also a reformer, but he is one
who does his reforming in a straight
away, business fashion, without any
vulgar noise and display about it. He
was honorable identified with the re-
form movement in Brooklyn in 1881,
and has always stood for good govern
ment. He is well fitted by ability, tenn
permanent and experience for the du-
ties of executive office, and his
friends in the capital-and there are a
great many here-say he will make one
of the best governors the state has had
since Tilden.
THE SILVER BOLT.
AT the Democratic congressional
committee headquarters no attention is
paid 10 the so-called silver Democratic
bolt in the state. 1t is regarded as en-
tirely unwarranted, and as not likely
to command enough votes to have in
any way a serious effect on the result
in the state. Judge Van Wyck was
loyal supporter of Mr.. Bryan, and he
has been regularly nominated by the
New York Democracy, which supported
the ticket last campaign. The second
candidate on the ticket, Elliott F. Dan
forth, for lieutenant governor, was
head and front of the New York De-
mocracy in 1896. He was chairman of
the Democratic state committee, and
made many sacrifices in that post of
duty: 1t is fully believed that the east
ern men who loyalty stood by the ticket
in 1895 are entitled in return to the
most loyal support from silver men
now.
We made much in the last cam
paign of our regularity said Hon.
Lawrence Gardner, member of the ma
tfonal committee from this district, to
your correspondent. Now is the time
for silver Democrats to show that they
are as loyal to the nominees as we
asked other Democrats to be in the
canvass of 1885,.
CONGRESSIONAL GAINS.
It is claimed that there will be at
least Is Democratic members of con-
gress elected in New York this year.
It is also believed that, owing to the
fierce Republican quarrels in Pennsyl-
vania and Connecticut, there is a

cratic congressional committee is now
claiming two seats in Connecticut

vania, regards II seats as about that

w. o. Mcdowell of New York, presi-
dent of the Cuban-American League,
has written a letter to President Nc
Kinlsy, urging that the Cuban soldiers
be paid with money advanced by the
United States. The two chief argu-
ments for this action are that the SOL
diers could be disbanded and would not
have to return to their homes empty
handed, and the good will of these SOL
diers towards the United States would
be complete" The amount needed is
not named by Mr.. Mcdowell, who

W. r. Hinsdale, a New Yorker, has
suggested that Camp Wikof might be
supplied with pure water from Garden
City, where there is a we'll so feet in
diameter capable of furnishing 100000
per day. He thinks that the Standard
Oil company would cheerfully lend the
government its new oil tank cars,
which, never having been used. would
carry an ample supply of water to the
troops; and as the well is convenient to
the Garden City railroad station, it
would be an easy matter to pump the
liquid into the tanks.

SIAM WILL APOLOGIZE
Tor an Assault by Her Soldiers on Our
Vice Consul.

Woe Consul.
San Francisco, Jan. 21.-A special cor
respondent at Bangkok, Siam, writes as
follows, under date of Nov. Is, 1897.
"The long awaited and much debated
decision of the arbitrators in the. mat
ter of the assault upon Mr.. L. V. Kel-
lett, United States vice consul, by sia-
mese soldiers at Chiengmai, Nov. 10,
1886, was published yesterday.
shortly after the assault Mr.. John
Barrett, the United States minister
resident and consul general, opened
negotiations by demanding an investi-
cation by mixed commission, which
Siam refused. The arrival of the gum
boat Machias in February. 1897, opened
the eyes of the Siamese and fastened
negotiations.
After a 20 davs' session the COM
mission agreed upon decision, and the
result is a decided victory for-Mr. Bar
rett. While the commission finds that
: the conduct Of the officers and soldiers
who committed the assault waste a
certain extent excusable from the eX-
citement resulting from the unusual
and imprudent steps taken by Mr. Kel-
lett in releasing his servant from the
custody of the authorities after he had
been arrested, 1t was agreed that the
Siamese government should apologize
and pledge itself to punish the Offend
ers. The officers in command Of the
troops are to be publicly reprimanded
and degraded In rank. while the men
are to be deprived of their pay for
three months"

Success in "striking Titles"

aud paraphrased from one END OF the
country to the other.
But ithas all been grist for the Phlla.

"Tho Inner Experiences OF Cabinet

Julia Magruders new lOve-story is given
the title Of "a Heaven Kissing Hill

but the Journal would have thought OF
1t? Marion Crawford's new story is called
"The Dead Smile'-a title good enough
to sell any story.
"The Men / NeverMarricd' is tackled to
n new series. "TheMan Under Thirty
five'' made tho reputation OF Lillian
Bell in this magizino. My Literary

And Yet tho Disorderly Students Con-
tlnue Their Demonstrations.

tinue Their Demonstrations.
Paris, Jan. 2l.-Over 1000 students
started a demonstration last evening on
the Boulevard Mt. Michel. They tried
to cross the River Seine, but the police
prevented them. Altogether there were
lis arrests yesterday, and many of
those arrested are. kept in custody.
There were no serious disorders. Num-
bers of bands of students, however, are
still parading the Latin quarter.
Despite the government prohibition,
the organizing committee of Mondays
anti-Semite meeting at the Tivoli Vaux
Hall has decided to hold public DEM
onstration on Sunday afternoon.
A dispatch from Epinal, capital of the
department of Voges, situated about
150 miles from here, says the first anti
Hebrew demonstration took place there
yesterday. Placards, bearing the now
popular cries, denouncing Zola and the
Hebrews and upholding the army, were
posted in frcnt of the Hebrew stores.
At Rouen the police charged the
students, but failed to disperse them.
The troops have been consigned to bar
racks and the police occupy the streets
in force.
