bBBINS LOSES;
RALDRICH WINS
hbama Republican Gets Demo-
Gratis Seat In House.
DIE WAS ON PARTY LINES.
Dartlett Made Strong Fight For
His Minority Report, But
~ Without Avail.

A Washington special says; BY the
arrow margin Of seven votes the
kouse Thursday afternoon unseated
Hon. CASTOR Robbins, OF the fourth
Alabsma district, and seated Hon.
William F. Aldrich, the Republican
contestant. This was done on strictly
partisan lines and after a bitter fight
i made by the Democrats, under the
leadership of Judge Bartlett, OF Geor'
gis, in behalf of Robbins.
The result was not altogether unex-
pected, though it was hoped by Mr..
Robbins friends that enough Repub-
licans would refuse to follow the die
tates of the Republican leaders to
prevent Aldrich being being seated.
Robbins was also handicapped by the
fact that his case was the first of the
contested cases to be acted upon by
the house.
The feature of the debate was the
speech Of Judge Bartlett in support OF
his minority report. He made a COM
plete and searching analysis Of the
majority report demonstrating that
any fair and legal consideration Of the
facts would show that Robbins is en-.
titled TO the seat.
Taking it from him." said Judge
Bartlett, in summing up the case after
ward, sis Just like holding man up
at the point OF q shotgun and robbing
him of his money"
There is one feature OF tho vote on
this case that has caused lot Of com.
ment among Democrats. That was
the absence Of General Wheeler and
OF Congressman Stallings. The alb
sence OF General Wheeler gave Rob
bins Just one less vote than he had.
Had he been present under clear title
to his own seat he might have helped
materially. Mr.. Stallings was paired
with q New Jersey member, and,
therefore, his own vote was arranged
for; but il is an open secret that there
is q good deal of bitterness among the
Alabama delegation oyer his failure to
be on hand,
They ray that as one OF the
older members OF the delegation
he might have been able 10 IN
Auence some Republican votes, but
even il he were not, he should have
been present in justice to his col
league, and especially to election
methods, which we're so bitterly as
sailed in this contest.
At 2:30 o'clock the vote was taken
first upon the minority resolutions de-
claring Mr.. Robbins entitled to retain
his seat. The sub.resolutions were de
feated--134 to 138-by . strict party
vote.
The majority resolutions declaring
Mr.. Aldrich, the contestant, entitled
to his seat were then adopted-l42 Il
1876.
There was no demonstration when
the result was announced. Mr.. Al
drich then came forward to the bar o.
the house, escorted by Mr.. Mann, and
took the prescribed oath.
Mr., Dslzell, OF Pennsylvania, from
the committee on rules, then present
ed the special rule regarding pension
sessions. Mr.. Overstreet, Of Indi
a ana, in charge Of the conference
report Of the financial bill, gav'
notice that he would. call up thu
= report next Tuesday. By unanimou'
consent it was agreed that the vote on
the report should be taken at 4:3(
o'clock Tuesday afternoon.

WILLIAM I. BAKER.
Chcago's Prominent Business Man and President of the Worlds Fair, Leaves the Democratic Party and Comes Out for Mckinley.

William. T. Baker, ex-president of the Chicago board of trade. and of the worlds fair, and one of the lead ing democrats of Chicago. has made an open statement of his purpose to vote for Mckinley this fall. In let ter made public today. he makes a powerful attack against Bryan, whom he says personifies Is to 1 and law lessness, and is the greatest imperial ist' since Napoleon Bonaparte.
 MO Baker has been well known in the past for his convictions in favor of free trade and for his aggressive in terest in the work of the National Tariff Reform league. Mir. Baker says, however, that even the demo cratic doctrine of free trade has been abandoned for principles that mean restriction of trade, and, through the populistic attitude on trusts" ''limitation of all successful enterprise within state lines"
 The letter follows:
 "HOn. NJ. 4. Hanna, Chairman Re publican National Committee My Dear Sir: The democratic organiza ton has passed under the control of public enemies, and no man who holds to the traditional doctrines of spirit of our constitution can be frightened by the phantom of imperi- alism which Bryan has conjured up for this campaign only.
 Since Napoleon Bonaparte, there has been no greater imperialist than Bryan himself. His will is the law of the party that supports him, and, if elected, he would endeavor to rule the entire nation with the same iron hand. Napoleon deluged Europe in blood to reach throne, and Bryan would not hesitate to wreck every in dustry in the land to attain the presi dency.
 This talk of imperialism is like the rattle of the snake that hurts nobody. It is the head of the reptile that is dangerous, and there you will find the free silver bite.
 The paramount issue is exactly the same now that it was in 1896. It Is 16 to 1 and lawlessness, as personi- fled in Bryan, versus the gold stand ard and the security it brings. shall vote for Mckinley as representing the latter.

General Macarthur cables the war department from Manila that on Sep tember II Captain Devereux Shield and fifty men of Company F, Twen- tieth volunteer infantry. left Santa Cruz for Torrijos. Nothing has been heard from them since. It is supposed the entire party was captured. with many killed and wounded.
 It is reported from St. Petersburg that, owing to the hostile attitude of the Chinese fleet at Shanghai, Russia proposes to blockade Chinese naval ports. As there is no statement that the blockade is to be preceded by a declaration of war, it isassumed that the blockade comes under the desig- nation of international law as pa cific blockade"
