''The Republican Committee have been very
careful in estimating the result Of the election
on November g." said Mr.. Maney 10 the news
paper men. "They have desired to avoid mis-
leading the public in any way. They have been
criticised somewhat severely for claiming so per-
sistently that there was an overconfdence on
the part of the Republicans. which should be
guarded against This claim was, however well
founded at the time. Lately the outlook has
materially changed They have, however.
watched the situation with the utmost care.
They have had every State carefully canvassed
and polled They know the condition thorough
Iy in every section. They feel absolutely conf
dent now as 10 the result. They know now that
it will be impossible to defeat the reelection of
President Mckinley. They equally positive
that he will receive larger number Of electoral
votes than he received four years ago. Ken
tuckv they firmly believe will go Republican,
but they know full we'll that the chances are
that the Republicans in that State will be count
ed out. In Nebraska, the Republicans are con-
fdent of carrying the State, and the Information
received during the last few days would almost
Justify placing this State In the sure RepubI-
can column The committee desiring TO be
ca reful and conservative in any statement tney
give to the public, assert that the Repuohcans
will carry States insuring Mckinley 200 Votes'
The fight in Indiana will be closer than in any
of the other States but with the thorough or
ganizatfon which the Republicans nave In tnat
state and with a popular State ticket, the
chances are very largely that these votes Will
be found in the Mckinley column, which would
give 2S1 electoral votes for Mckinley and Roose-
Welt. -, -

had been returned to Parliament. On the days
polling the Liberals gained six seats and the
Conservatives three. and since the election be
gan there has been a net gain for the Opposi-
ton Of one.
A striking feature Of the contest yesterday
was the emphatic verdict given for the Govern
ment by London and the great manufacturing
centres Of Manchester and solford. The Minis
terialsts almost succeeded in sweeping the
board in the two Lancashire cities while never
before in its electoral history has London polled
such heavy maJorities for the Conservative

metropolis are Burns and Lough. The former
has been a consistent opponent of the war policy
Of the Government but he has. Notwithstanding

heavy poll while Lough just scraped in at West
Islington by 10.
Mr. Labouchere has again been elected for
Northampton, but his majority has been re-
duced. and he would probably have been beaten
outright but for his Liberal Imperialist col
league. who actually headed the poll and dis
placed the Unionist holder of the second seat.
Havelock Wilson, Labor Member and pro-
Boer, has been badly beaten at Middlesborough,

A DISASTROUS FIRE.
The Commonwealth Mill and Hoist
 at Pearce Destroyed.

Last Saturday afternoon the fine mill and hoisting works of the Com monwealth Mining X Milling com pany, at Pearce, Arizona, were de- stroyed by fire. The fire started in the boiler room from the ignition of oil used for fuel, and spread with great rapidity. The Prospector says: "The
 wind was blowing toward the mine and hoisting works and the treStle connecting the mill with the mine was soon in flames.
 The progress of the lire could not be stayed and the fine hoSting works were also engulfed in the destructive flames which followed the timbersdown the shaft to the 2c0 foot level. In anticipation of the fires reaching the shaft a large bulkhead was hurriedly constructed at the POO foot level shut ting off air and further progress of the fire, The loss is estimated at S300, 900, some s3O,0O0 or S4O,OO0 being lost in quicksilver alone. It is understood the property was covered by insur- ance. The management has been quoted as saying that rebuilding and resumption of work will be started immediately after adjustment of loss. etc, and a few weeks will doubtless witness the beginning and replacing of machinery. By this misfortune 150 men are thrown out of employ ment for some time. To give an idea of the rapidity of the work of the fire, it is stated ttat in 2S minutes from the time Of explosion all the struc- lures were lad in ashes.
 The Tucsor. Star says: "There were 10 men below on the shift to come off at o'clock. and these men had close call, from the fact that the shaft was bur ned. Men got out from old open ings. east and west of the shaft. Juan Catalina, the hoist engineer, drew up a cage filled with men while his own person was il imminent danger. Pete Wagner went into the weStside means of egress and earned out old Tim who was over cOrle by heat smoke. Roy Powell mill man was badly burned in his futile efforts to check the fire.
 "The oil tanks which feed the fires were 100 yards removed and but for the explosion of a tank filled with sulphuric acid itiS possible they might have caught fire. The acid drenched the tanks thus saving them. In the mill was a number of the German pat ent cannon ball mills besides 50 stamps, the latter installed during the past two years.
 "The Commonwealth silver and gold mines numbered but five claims in the low hills in the Sulphur Spring valley, some 26 miles south of Wilcox. The was sold to John Br0ckman by John Pearce for the sum of s275,- coo. Little work had been done at the time BrOckman represented Barring ton Bros. and R. A. F. Penrose in the deal, which was made about May, 1891. During the period the Commonwealth have controlled the property they have been enriched to the extent of about S2,000,0 900 a year at least for four years past. 7"
