No other powers were consulted before the agreement was reached, because it was deemed best that two great powers come forward with an agreement, as an accomplished fact and then invite the other powers to subscribe to the principals of the agreement One nation could not have done this alone. Two great powers could. The informant of the cor respondent of the Associated Press added that no special circums tances caused the agreement, and that Germany does not ex- pect occasion to arise.

National Congressional Committee Pre-.
 diets Great Victory

Knoxville, Tenn, October 2O.-A special to the Sentinel from Washington says:
 "The Democratic National Congressional Committee has issued statement that tidal wave of Democracy Is sweeping over the country, and indca tions now point to the greatest popular majority for Bryan ever given any Democratic Presidential candidate.
 Tt says MT. Bryan needed less than 25,- 900 votes properly distributed in 1896. He has lost nothing, but has gained. Bryan will get 60 per cent. of the German vote; the labor vote sufficient to carry several doubtful States; 80 per cent. of the Gold Democratic votes, Irish and Holland vote; 10000 anti-imperialistio votes heretofore unknown; almost all the reform vote: n- dependent vote sufficient to decide certain States; travelling men for Mckinley in 1896 all now for Bryan; all Prohibition votes rot going to Woolley; and thousands of Republicans"
