CHAIRMAN JONES HOPEFUL.
He Talks of the Democratic Outlook
for 1000.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, October 16.-Chairman
jones, speaking of the democratic confer
ence to be held today said:
'The present conference is merely an in
formal meeting of a few members who fill
official positions of Importance in the na-
ticnal committee to talk over what has
been done and what will be done. No
changes will be made as a result of the
conference. I shall remain as l have be-
fore, chairman of the national committee.
None of the important acts of the commit
tee were without my knowledge. Governor
Stone wrote to me fully concerning every
important action of the committee before it
was executed. l have even, while I was
out of the country, kept in thorough touch
with the committee, and have been at its
head except that l was not present to pre-
side at It's meetings. l asked Governor
Stone and Committeeman Johnson to meet
me here.
Il shall take no part in the campaign in
Ohio or Kentucky. Mr. Bryan and Gov
ernor Stone have done as much work there
as can be done by nonresident democrats.
/ am going back to my home as directly
as l can, as it is the advice of my physi-
clans to do no active work.
"Ail my friends whom I have heard dis
cuss the situation appear to be very hope
full of the success in both states. l
have not been able to familiarize myself
thoroughly with the situation there, but l
share the hopes of my friends"

"REPUBLICAN BY 10000"
Representative BrOmweITs Prediction
Regarding Ohio.

Representative Bromwell of Ohio was at
the Treasury Department today, having
come on here from Cincinnati to attend to
some departmental and legal matters. Re
ferring to the political contest in Ohio Mr.
BrOmwell whose home is in Cincinnati
said: THE republicans will carry the state
by from 10000 to 10000 I do not have
the slightest fear az to the result. Mayor
Jones Will poll about 10000 and more of
these will be democrats than republicans
The fusion republicans of Hamilton county
are going to support Nash, and that will
give the county to the republican ticket
The democrats are better organized than
they have been in years, but this will be
of no use to them in the face of the peo-
pies desire that the present prosperous
conditions be continued.
No, there will be no detection among
the republican Germans owing to dissat-
isfaction with the foreign policy of the ad
ministration. I have recently made speech
es to a number Of German organizations,
and / can say that they are still with
President Mckinley. Whenever l talked
about whipping the Filpinos and restoring
peace the Germans gave their approval in
many ways. AS a matter of fact the Ger
mans will prefer prosperity and satiSfac-
ton, with the Philippines thrown in, to
depression and lack of confidence without
the Philippines. ! came over yesterday with
a German business man who has always
been a democrat, but voted for Mckinley
three years ago. He said he preferred good
times and would vote the republican ticket"

ADVERSE TO HIS CLAIM.
Roy l.. Quackenbush Will Not Receive
His Extra Pay.

r. ]. Tracewen, the controller of the
treasury. has approved the action of the
auditor for the War Department in dis
allowing the claim for extra pay of Roy l..
Quackenbush, who was first sergeant of
Company &. 1st District of Columbia Vol
uuteers, in the Spanish war.
The auditor states that Quackenbush was
discharged September +, 1898, on his own
application and that of his family physi-
clan. because of illness in his family.
Having been discharged for his own con-
Venience," he is not entitled to extra pay.
Quackenbush appealed from the action,
saying that because his wife became i'll.
after he had gone through the campaign in
Cuba, was no fault of his, and that the
court would term it Judgment of Cod
He also contends that if his services had
been needed the War Department would
not have granted his application for dis
charge, which was filed at least month
before 1t was granted. The discharge was
not granted until Mr.. QuaCkenbush's family
physician went TO the War Department and
made an appeal. BY this time the rcgi-
uent had returned from Cuba and was at
Nontauk Point. Eight days after his dis
charge his regiment received orders to be
mastered out, all of those who remained
receiving two months furlOugh Quacken-
bush did not receive this furlough, of
course. and claimed two months extra pay.
Under the decision of the controller, Quack-
enbush will not receive his claim.

RUMORED ATTACK ON KIMBERLY.

Kimberley is besieged, and the Beers

are obtainable.
THE Beers have cut the railway at Bel
mont. have seized the Spyfontein railway
station, and constructed fortified earth
works. There are strong defending forces
at Modder bridge and the Orange river
bridge
The object Of these energetic operations
is believed to be the capture OF Cecil

their flag over the town hall.
1T is rumored that the Beers have cap
tured a police patrol of six men at De
Jager's Drift, on the Buffalo river"
The state of affairs at Mafeking can only
be conjectured. The occupation of New
castle by the Beers was prepared for and
expected the place having been abandoned
by the British.
Very heavy rains and SHOWS are reported,

Whites reconnaissance seems to have suf-

The peaks of the Drakensberg range are
snow-cOvered, and the storms which have
occurred must have caused the Beers great
discomfort. which probably explains their
failure to attack General White. Mastery
inactivity characterizes the operations of
both sides.
