BILLING fAvoRS MKlNLtY


Reports which come from New York
are 10 the effect that betting odds on
the presidential election yesterday
shifted to 3 to 1, with no takers. and
one bet was reported to have been
made on the general result last night at
SO, 500 on Mckinley to $1,000 on Bryan.
This bet is at odds of 3la to L.
It was also reported on good au-
thority that Richard Croker has ceased
betting, but that he has already wager
ed on this election upward Of 100000.
II is also said that up to date about
1900 900 has been wagered on the
election in Wall street One broker
age firm has negotiated bets aggre-
eating more Than s75O,0OO.
The shift In the odds favorable to
the Republican candidate began last
week, when Louis V. Bell offered to
wager 100000 to $4,000 on McKin-
ley's election and then made the propo-
sition thatifthatb bet was taken he would
wager 100000 to 100000, the only
condition being that this sum should
be taken in one bet. This offer was
made because the hackers Of Bryan had
complained that they could not get
Mckinley money In large enough sums
to suit them.
Just prior to that offer a bet of S22,
600 to $4,000, at odds Of II to 8, was
made in the office Of Bell g. Co.. but
there has been no odds like that since.
Bell & Co., for a customer, yesterday
offered to bet $4,000 against $4,000 on
the general result. This is S4OO bet
ter than 21s to 1. There was no tal1er
for this bet, and later any quantity Of
money was offered in Wall street at to
1, but there was no Bryan money to
cover it.
These wagers and betting PROPOSE
tions have been made or offered in the
Office Of Bell & Co. during the week:
Fifteen thousand dollars to $4,000
that Bryan would not carry Indiana
Illinois and kentucky. This bet was
taken.
A proposition Of $4,000 to $4,000, or
any part thereof. at 3 to 1, that Bryan
would not carry Indiana, Illinois and
Kentucky This was refused.
A proposition to bet $1,000 to $500
that Mckinley would carry Illinois
This was not taken.
A proposition to bet $4,000 to $4,000
that Mckinley would carry Illinois.
This also was not taken.
Henry w. Bull, OF the Stock Ex-
change firm Of Edward Sweet & Co.,
yesterday offered to bet $500 against
81 900 on Mckinley. No takers
]. J. Judge reported that he had
wagered 500 on each proposition that
Bryan will carry Kentucky, Maryland,
West Virginia and Delaware.
Edward La Montague, a Wall street
broker, was reported to have bet s3,5OO
to $1,000 on Mckinley at the Waldorf
last night with a member Of Tammany
Hall. Further details Of this bet could
not be learned.

CLASH WITH DEPUTIES AyERTEp

Three thousand strikers who started
from Mt Carmel last evening to shut
down the Reading Company's oolliery
at Trevorton, were turned back by a
miners union district president in
time to avert a clash with hve carloads
Of deputies, who were rushed to the
mine.
General Goblin last night at Shenan-
doah. issued orders for Battery c to
break camp to-day.
Not more than 100 carloads Of coal
daily are now being shipped over the
Reading road, and the stock in the
company's storage yards is very small.

being in the field is that Addicks found
them good servants of his two years
ago and that he believes he can make
use Of them again. All well-wishers Of
the Republican party in the two dis
tricts should combine to give them and
their master a signal defeat at the polls
Tomorrow.
In the Mill Creek hundred district
no open and avowed follower Of Ad-
dicks could hope to carry the pri-
maries. But IL the Republican voters
will take the trouble to ascertain who
the Addicks workers and voters are
back Of, it will be to the interest of
themselves and the party to vote for
other men for state senator and rep
resentative. The two men who have
the Addicks backing have been known
heretofore as Republicans, and they
still profess to be Republicans: but
the voters should not be deceived for
these pretensions Of Republlcanism
are but subterfuge to catch votes
that they never could obtain as Ad-
dicksites. They hope to accomplish
by deceit what they cannot accomplish
by an open, manly course and an hon
est avowal of their new political af-
tillation. by defeating them the Re
publleans of Mil Creek hundred win
knock down two legislative manikins
set up by Addcks, and at the same
time stamp out OF the politics of the
district methods which are new and n
disgrace TO those who introduced them.
Because one Republican ticket has
been agreed to for the state, that does
not mean that Republicans have re-
inquished their fight against Addlcks
as a senatorial aspirant. Neither does
It carry with it any Republican admis-
sion that Addicksism is less a public,
political and partisan offense than II
was when the party-wrecker was
cracking his whip over his henchmen
In the Legislature and forcing them
to defeat the Republican party. Demo-
Gratis have said that there was a bar
gain in the harmony ticket negotia-
tions by which Addicks should be sent
to the United States Senate. Let the
Republicans Of New Castle county give
the lie to that mwarranted statement
by defeating every Addicks Legislative
candidate who presumes to stand for
a nomination.
The voters in the several districts
know the men who are for Addicks
openly or secretly. Where they areI
avowed Addlcks supporters the duty OF
the elector is to defeat them. Where
their position Is doubtful take no
chances, but vote for candidates con-
cerning whose attitude in this vital
matter there is no doubt, and who are
known to be opposed to Addicks and
his ambition and methods Let there |
be no Blake.eys, Frizzels or Ewlngs, |
masked or unmasked, in the legisla-
tive delegation nominated tomorrow.

That Republican ratification meeting
at Tenth and King streets last evening

NO TRAITORs ms TIME

Republican voters must not forget
that in the contest for legislative can
didates tomorrow the line will be
drawn clearly between men who want
to go to Dover and elect two Repub-
lican United States senator's, and those
who want to go there to carry out the
will OF j. Edward Addicks even to the
extreme OF deadlocking the Legislature
and preventing the election OF any
body.
With such a condition existing the
voters should experience no difficulty
in making their selections.
While the other offices ON the ticket
are important, they do not carry with
them that grave after-effect which is
embodied in the legislative branch Of
the ticket. Those men who are run
ming for the offices Of senator and
representative can do the party and
the people more good or more harm,
according to their inclinations and op-
portunities than all the other candi-
dates on the county ticket. Those who
are successful can make or break the
party, serve or betray the people and
glorify or disgrace Delaware in the
great sisterhOod OF states.
II ]. Edward Addicks was untitled
for the senatorship in 1895, and there
are few Republicans who will say that
he was not. he is doubly untitled foI
its honors now, in the light OF his po-
sition in the party and his actions
since that time We do not beiiey,
that the people OF this county have for
gotten or forgiven either his actions
then or his actions since, and we an
confident that at the primaries to
morrow they will give crushing an'
decisive evidence Of It in the defeat o
his candidates for the Legislature 4
every district in the county.
In Brandywine hundred Representa-
tive Ewing is before the people 70
denomination. and in Christiana hun
dred Representative Frizzel is askin
the Republican voters to send hir
back to the Legislature. The bold
ness of these men. who no longer ca
deny their servility to Addicks an
who now come before the people wit
their masks of. is astounding and il
sulting to public and party decenc
Their present candidacy is an eviden,
that Addicksism has run mad. Ha
these men made a record for state
manlike action and been in all respec
but that OF assisting Add.cks to dea
lock the Legislature good and intel
gent members Of the House, their co
duct in the joint assembly was such
to preclude from the Republican mil
any thought OF returning them. B
they have no redeeming qualities

to stand again for nomination. TIT

congress Of ALL nations
MEETS THIS MORNING IN THE
DISTRICT COURT.
Assemblies in the Prisoners Dock.
Judge Wilcox Presldes and Fines
Each Delegate 50 and Costs,

There were lots Of drunks and law
yers in the District Court this morn
ing, though few of the drunks had law
yers, also the DRINKS and lawyers sat
on opposite sides of the court room.
Those of the drunks who had not been
able to give bail were crowded in
double row on the benches in the pris-
oners' dock, where they looked like a
rump congress of all nations that had
been gathered together with such haste
and so summarily that most of the dele
gates were more or less dishgured by
the impact. There were representatives
of Europe, Asia, Africa, America and
the Islands of the Pacific. There were
also representatives of the rough and
ready court plaster surgery that is fire.
quently necessary late on January 1.
1t was believed for a time that the
justly celebrated and widely known
John Doe" had been discovered among
the delegates. But when the burly negro
who answered to that name on roll call
came to have his credentials examined
he proved to be only the equally well
known but less celebrated John Smith.
The delegates were uniformity and i'm
partially fined 81 and 81 costs each, and
were then sent to their respective fore
castles, drays, trucks or sewer digging,
or over to the reef to join the movement
for good roads.
Out of fifty-six defendants before the
court, thirty were charged specifically
with being drunk, while others were
charged with offenses of which drunk
enness was the melting cause or matter
of aggravation.
Philip Sylvia of the Punchbowl team
of c. Gomez and P. Sylvia charged with
common nuisance in that they fired off
fire crackers in a public street, failed to
appear when his name was called and
forfeited his bail of IS. Gomez a lad or
about IA appeared, but insisted that he
just happened along at the time the
fire crackers were being exploded and
stopped to watch the proceeding and
hear the noise. Deputy Marshal Chill
ingworth suggested that a reprimand
would be sufficient.
"Well, if you were firing off bombs
and fire crackers you were only doing
what 500 other people were. Now you
must promise not to do it again, for a
year at least" said the court, and
Gomez went thence to get the IS he had
deposited as bail.
After the preliminary roll call and the
finish of the cases when there was a
plea of guilty and regulation fine, the
court took recess to answer sum-
mons that came down to him from the
Board of Health asking his presence at
it's meeting for short time.

MORE EXPANSION.
Negotiations for the Purchase of Chat
ham Island.


NEW YORK, December 20.-A special
to the Sun from Washington says: The
negotiations for the transfer to the
United States of Chatham Island, one
of the Galapagos group, have been
opened between this Government and
the Government of Ecuador. An en-
couraging attitude has been assumed by
Ecuador and there is every reason to
believe that the transfer will be affect
ed by treaty arrangements which, of
course, must receive the sanction of the
Senate, and in a measure that of the
House of Representatives as both
branches of Congress must appropriate
the amount of the purchase price before
the island can become the property of
the United States.
Chatham Island is desired by the
Navy Department for coaling station.
1t lies in the Pacific about 600 miles off
the coast of Ecuador Its possession
would be of great advantage to the
United States. The negotiations are
said to be the outcome of the story re-
Gently published that Great Britain was
attempting to secure the Galapagos
group. This caused the Navy Depart
ment to urge the President to make
every effort to obtain Chatham Island
for use as coallng station.

PATENT WHALERoNE.

A. C. Hunkemoller Of Holland has OBJ
tanned a patent for the production of
artificial whalebone from tendons espe-
cially the strong tendons of the hind
legs of animals. The novelty of the
process consists of producing an article
of considerable value from parts when
have hitherto been abandoned to the
gluemaker; and 1t Is claimed that the
artificial whalebone surpasses the nat
ural article both in elasticity and
strength The process is explained i'm a
few words as follows: After removing
from the fresh or sailed tendons dried
ones cannot be used) all adhering flesh
or skin, they are thrown into a water
solution Of salt of chrome of about ten
to twenty per cent. of their weight.
Chromate of aluminium and one half of
one part of chloride of sodium Is prefer
able. This tanning lasts from four to ten
days, according to the thickness of the
tendons and the strength of the soiu-
ton. The tanned matter is then pressed
between warm plates and is afterward
cut into strips for use.
