Trip From Terre Haute

Terre Haute, Ind, September 16-Hon. W. J. Bryan arrived here at S:35 this morning on his way to St. Louis He was given only five minutes time, but he made a speech expressing his confidence in the outlook of the State at the forthcoming election. we are counting on Indiana this year for its old time Democratic ma- jority," he said, and the crowd shouted back, You'll get it." The talk was in- formal and along general lines as in many of his brief speeches.
 As the train moved out he said: 'In 1896 the people came to us in the hope of secur- ing an American financial system; this time they are coming to us because they want to continue our American system of government"
 At Effingham, H., MT. Bryan referred to the affairs in South Africa in the following language:
 If the Republicans say that they be. lieve in a republican form of government, you tell them that when King dies . Republican President will send a message of condolence, but that when two republics are dying your Republican President dares not express his regrets I want you to ask your Republican friends who have made Ithe change in the Republican party. In 1896 the Republicans were not afraid to say that they sympathized with the struggling patriots in the islands just to the south of us, but Paul Kruger has been defending the existence of republic and has been driven step by step from his own land. Not a Re- publican of prominence dares send across the ocean one word of sympathy to men whose heroism revives the memories of Marathon and the Mopolyle."
 The sugNstio was received with ap- plause.

To ascer- tain this they have made vast number of experiments since they were appointed last December and they have decided upon a simple mixture consisting of two cakes of pure sweet chocolate and three cakes of a combination of meat and breadstuff in a condensed form, all contained in a small tin can, six inches long and like a flask. The board Is also to make test of a com bination which is the same as their own compound, except that tea is used in- stead of chocolate.

MANCHESTER MARKET
Great Excitement Over the Movemen
 in Cotton

Manchester, September 16-The excite ment in cotton last week practically blocke d all attempts to complete important transac- tions In cloth. Prices were very irregular, although the sales effected were usually at subs stantial advances. Satisfactory demands from India were scarce, the manufacturers frequently declining to quote or ask from the figures quite unobtainabe.
 There are no prospects for a movement toward China. Wealthy agents and manu- facturers are holding large quantities of China cloths until the merchants can &C., cept delivery
 The Manchester Textile Mercury esti- mates that the minimum average of stop page for the mills will be eight weeks al though the period may be longer and that the losses, including the wages of 100000 workers, will be f25, 5,0O0, 900. These losses are attributed to the failure of nature to sup ply sufficient raw material. The English manufacturer Is totally dependent upon a circumscribed area of foreign supply and those who provide this supply are now straining every nerve to consume the posi- ton at home, thus becoming formidable competitors of England.
 'These competitors,' says the Textile Mercury, "are the most formidable who could possibly enter the markets of the world against us. The remedy for the fu- ture is the cultivation of cotton within the realm of Great Britain.
 'At the same time a months suspension of buying will practically restrict the scramble for the remnants of the last crop, only purchasable at extremely high prices, to come out of the pockets of the manufac- turers, but which could never be extorted from the merchants or the distributing side of the trade'

Berlin. September 16.-Prices generally de- clined last week, although the Bourse was somewhat more active than usual.

the figures, owing to the unusually
meagre returns received.
The democrats have gained about
s, 600 in Cleveland, and as much in
Cincinnati, and less in some other
cities.
The republicans have gained in the
rural districts and in this city, Cam
ton, the home of the president, in
Akron, the home of Chairman Dick,
and in a few other cities.
Democrat State Chairman Long con-
cedes the state to the republicans but

man Dick stands by his poll Of the
state, which he insists shows from

insists that the republicans will gain
two of the three congressman.
At this hour the indications are that
Mckinley has gained largely in Ohio
e his plurality of 1895 and that
most of it came from the rural dis
tricts.

The total vote in the city OF New

than it was in 1896, and the up state
increase is about 30, 900.
In the city Bryan wiped ont a plnr-

Tennessee Democratic.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. CAT mid
night the returns indicate a fall of
about 80, 600 to 40, 900 votes in the
state, about equally divided among
the parties, many negroes, especially
in the cities, remaining away from
the polls. Bryan's plurality in the
state will fall short of that of Cover
nor McMillin by about 5000 or 4, 900
votes, Mcmillan being reelected by
some $4,000 to 5000. The democrats
carried Nashville, Memphis, Knox
vile and Chattanooga, while eight of
the ten congressman are democrats.
Davis county (Nashivlle) which went
for Mckinley in 1896, goes for Bryan

MARYLAND GOES REPUBLICAN,.
Four of the Six Congressman Republican.
Democrats Give UP the State.

Baltimore, Nov. 6-McKinley has
carried Maryland and beyond the
shadow of a doubt, the only question
to be settled being the size of his ma
jority. With practically complete re-
turns from the city, he has a major
ity here of about 6, 500, while from
the state, scattering returns indicate
an additional surplus of 3, 800, max
ing his total majority in the state
about 10, 600.
There is no reason to believe that
the final figures will vary greatly
from those given above.
Chairman Vandiver of the demo-
cratic state central committee admits
Brayn's defeat in the state, while
Chairman Goldsborough of the repub-
lican committee says that McKinley's
majority will reach IL, 900 at least.
1t is also certain that the republic
have elected four out of the six
congressman, while the remaining
two will probably be democratic. al
though later returns may change this
outlook.

Omaha, Nov. 6-At 10 p. M, re-
turns from state are coming in slow,
less than 400 out of 1,6II precincts
having reported.
These indicate the apparent plural
ity of from 1000 to 4 200 in the state
for Mckinley, although the fusionists
say oniy The republican precincts are
being heard from. Little is heard III
the congressional districts except from
the second district where Mercer, re-
publican, is probably elected.
The city of Omaha is showing some
gains for Bryan. The Legislature will
in all probabilities be republican.
Several state districts, usually very
close, have given a republican plurality
on the national ticket. In the usual
course of events these counties put
quite a figure in the complexion of the
legislature, which this year elects
two United States senator's.

publican, as United States senator.
Midnight-FulIer returns bear out
the first statement that New Jersey
will give Mckinley and Roosevelt 5O,-
600 pluraiiy. The democrats have
only succeeded in carrying four out of
twenty-one counties. They have made
a net loss of three members in the
upper house of the legislature. The
new senate will stand 16 republicans
to 4 democrats and the house will con
tain A republicans and Is democrats,
the same as last year.
