Especial to The Pogt.l

New York, November at was sug,
gested couple of days ago that the re-
publican National committee might find 1t
necessary before the campaign closed to
hedge on some of their enormously con-
ident predictions regarding the result
of next Tuesdays election. In fact, the
tip was given quietly to the newspaper
men that something OF this kind was TO
be looked Tor. Senator Beyeridges state
ment that Bryan will sweep the country,
which he made in the presence of four
witnesses in indianapolis today, Is not
quite as much of a surprise as it other
wise would have been.
The Middle-Wes looks assured Tor the
democratic ticket.
eve Will certainly carry that section,'
said Mr.. Sam Donaldson, who is in charge
of the Hoffman House headquarters, to-
night. Il say it confidently and h0nggTT',
that believe Mr.. Bryan will be elected
and make this assertion upon the best
of advices and information.
THE parade tomorrow could hardly
have much effect in changing my views
for this State. 1t will be more or less
| OF holiday and everybody who cares FOR
for that sort OF thing Will be more or
less in the crowd, not to mention the
many who are forced to parade without
regard to what their vote viii be. Al
together, the methods pursued by the
republicans IN preparing this supposed
demonstration to take place tomorrow
Twin hardly leave room for the
preservation OF It's character either
as gold parade or republican
parade. or anything else. Enroliments
have been made for the marching OF per-
sons who never had the slightest inti-
nation that they were TO be numbered
among the anti Bryan forces. AS some
OF these clubs so made up are regular re-
publican organizations there is likely TO
be some trouble at the primaries next
wear when democrats learn that they are
counted against their own party. 1t can
be said that the parade will not be ac-
cepted by any as an intimation of repuh-
, lican strength no matter what its size
may be-"

SALE OF MILEAGE BOOKS
A HALF MILLION SOLD SINCE THE
BUREAU BEGAN BUSINESS.
Passenger Men Meet and Agree on
Rates and Limits for Home WISH
tors Meetings-Persona1 Notes.

Three years ago. when the Central Pas
senger Association Established what is
known as its mileage bureau there were
grave doubts as TO the life of the move
ment. which was a radical change and
much opposed by the travelling statesmen.
The wisdom of the plan has. during the
three years, been practically demonstrated,
and with the slight notifications that have
been made the mileage book is popular
with the merchants and travelling sales
men. A statistical report of the mileage
bureaus operations from the time of its
establishment. Sept. 1. 1897, to the night
of June 90 last has just been prepared by
the officials of the association. 1t shows
that in the thrty-four months total Of
$3947.32 was disbursed in rebates on pay
ments for interchangeable mileage books.
The largest monthly disbursement was
made last June. when s15i.27 was handed
over the bureaus counters on the eighth
floor of the Monadnock building. The dis
bursements in the other months of 1900
were as follows: January. sl3e790; Febru-
airy. s12s. 49, March. sf4s,34s; April, slf7.622.
and May. sl52.277. From Sept 1 TO Dec.

were bought by travelling statesmen, thus
showing that their ranks increased. The

Special to the Indiananolis Journal

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
KANSAS CITY, July 25.-Lee made wild
throw to first in the sixth inning to-day
and Hartsel and Geier scored from second
and first The throw virtually gave the
game to Indianapolis.
In spite of the fact that Lee was hit very
much harder than Kellum the game rightly
belonged to the home team, for the safe
hits made by Indianapolis were scattered
through nine innings while Mannings men
put FIVE of their good ones together in the
fourth inning and scored four runs. If the
book does not show Kellum TO have been
batted hard this is because there was some
great fielding behind him, for the errors
which charged TO the visitors were
made on balls that came like cannon shots.
The indianapolis intield was not up to the
mark with its work, but the men In the
outfield more than made up for this Hog
riever and Hartsel must each be credited
with cutting down what would have been
three-base hit, and both the flies were sent
at times when they would have developed
into runs. On the whole, the fielding of
the home team was better than that of the
visitors, the only absolutely inexcusable
play being Lees throw. which lost the
game.
Lee got out of bad hole by allowing
indianapolis to score only one run in the
first. A hit by Hogriever. a bunt by Hart
sci ana Coughllns error IN dropping Lee S
throw when Geier hunted filled the bases.
Hogriever crossed the plate when Geier
and Seybold were doubled, and Magoon
soon went out at first. In the sixth o Brien
got single and in the seventh Gonding
made a scratch two-bagger. but no harm
was done. Hartsel, who had hit for a
base, and Geier, who had hunted, came I'm
on Lees bad throw in the sixth. In the
seventh the visitors took their last two
runs. Hogriever went from home to third
on Coughlin's low throw to DUNCAN and
scored on Hartsers two-bagger. Geiers
single brought in Hartsel Score:
