in 1898 by 7O2. His election on each
of these occasions was due in large
measure to Republican factional diff
ferences, but the conditions are now
reversed. The Republicans are prac-
tically united and enthusiastic in the
support of Hon. Emmett Tompkins,
the party nominee, while the machine
Democrats, including the Thurmans,
eX-Sheriff James Ross, Allen O'Myers,
Dewitt C. Jones and others, are lead
ing the revolt against Lentz. The Re-
publican campaign managers are con-
fident that Tompkins will be elected.
Lentz, who is conducting his own cam
paign. as he has done heretofore, does
not appear to be discouraged in the
least, and asserts that he will be elect
ed by an increased majority. There is
nothing in the situation at this time to
justify a prediction with any degree of
certainty as to what the outcome will
be- There is considerable opposition
to Lentz, but CT course, he has a ma
jority of 700 in his favor, so that the
chances may be said to be about even.
State Chairman Dick, however, is con-
fident that Hon. Emmett Tompkins,
the Republican candidate, will be elect
ed by a small majority.

State Dairy and Food Commissioner
Blackburn, who, like Mr.. Bonebrake,
has been greatly maligned, will come
under the wire an easy winner on cleo
ticn day. His Democratic opponent is
being opposed by the State Grange and
other farmers organizations, who in
resolutions adopted at their annual
meetings some time ago declared Mr..
Yates to be incompetent for the duties
G. the office. Those who want pure
whisky and wholesome food will vote
for the reelection of Mr.. Blackburn,
who showed his honesty when he re-
fused to go into John T. Norris's
blnckmailing scheme, explained in
previous correspondence.

The latest Democratic story out is
TO the effect that Senator Hanna will
resign his seat Immediately after the
Inauguration of President Mckinley,
and that General Charles Dick, chair
man of the Republican state commit
tee, will be appointed by Governor
Nash to the vacancy until the conven-
ing of the Legislature a year hence,
when Dick would be elected for the
full unexpired term. The one thing
which detracts from the story, is thta
this information as to Senator Han
mas plans comes from a Democratic
source. Senator Hanna has not made
it a rule TO take Democrats into his
confidence, and it is not believed that
he is doing so now.

The Democratic campaign OF abuse
and Misrepresentation has now been
turned against State School Commits
sioner Bonebrake, who is candidate
for reelection. The claim is being
made that the school teachers of the
State are opposed to his reelection.
TIE story is entirely groundless as is
shown in the personal correspondence
received by Commissioner Bonebrake
as we'll as that which comes TO RepuD-
lican State Headquarters. Hundreds
of school teachers who want to set
themselves right in this matter have
written to either Chairman Dick or
Mr.. Bonebrake himslf to deny that
there is any truth in the report or any
ground for the same. No one has CIV
en- greater satisfaction in the office.
These false reports were started by
some of Mr.. Bonebrake's personal en-
emies and the Democratic papers, of
course, were only too glad to take
them up. His Democratic opponent
is not even a college graduate.

If the Republicans succeed in hold
ing the Twentieth district and elect
Colonsl Neyin in the Third, even
though Tompklns should be defeated
in the Twelfth, the Republicans will
have made gain of one member of
Congress in the State, while if Lentz
should be defeated there would be a
net gain of two Republican Congress
men in the Buckeye State TO back up
a Republican President in the solution
of the grave problems now confronting
the people.

will not be long until it will be known
what truth there is in the Democratic
stories as to Senator Hanna's inten-
tions.

Chairman Dick is confident that Col
onel r. NJ. Nevin will be elected to
Congress in the Third Dayton) dis
trict. L. F. Buckley, the nominee of
the opposition party was forced on the
Democrats of the district by Captain
Joseph II. Bowling, who has been run
ming things with a high hand in his
home county of Montgomery and the
district for many years. Those who
have grown tired of his domination
have determined to break his rule even
at the sacrifice OF the Member of Con-
gress from the district. The district
has been very close politically for sew
eral years. Hon. John P. Brenner,
the present Democratic member from
the district, was elected in 1896 by 1911
This majority was reduced in 1898 to
122 by Colonel R. NJ. Nevin, who led a
glorious fight that year when the Dem
ocrats Of the district were practically
united upon Brenner, and in the pres
ent contest factional differences in the
Democratic party, will make the cleo
tiCn of Colonel Nevin as certain as
that the sun will rise on the morning
of November 9th.

THE BUND ESRATH INCIDENT.
Kaiser still iFurious-BelievesS salisbury
GmiltY Of BaA EMith.

Berlin, Jan. 15.-Emperor William
still takes the deepest interest in the
Bundesrath incident and holds frequent
conferences on the subject with the for
eign secretary, Count Won BueloW. The
matter was under consideration to-day;
and the correspondent of the Associated
Press was informed after the confer
ence that the emperor is still furious
about the seizures, which he regards as
particularly ungraceful and uncalled
for on the part of Great Britain, mas
much as he was led to believe, during
his recent visit, that England would
hereafter do everything in her power to
preserve amicable relations. In view of
all this his majesty regards the seizures
Of German vessels as apparent bad
faith on the part of Lord Salisbury
The German ambassador in London,
Count Won Hatzfeldt has informed the
German government that the seizures
were made upon the order of the Brit
ish admiralty and not of the foreign Of
flee. The kaiser, however. considers
this a mere subterfuge. 1t is believed
in court circles that while the visit to
England of Rear Admiral Won Senden-
Bibran, chief of the imperial marine
cabinet, will retain strictly private
character, he will drope a word of the
above tenor in the proper quarter. The
semi-otficial dement, of the present
mission attributed to Won Senden-Bib-
rams visit which the war office reiter-
ated to-day is discredited in section of
the press, including the Deutsche Tag
es Zeitung and the Staatsbuerger Zeit-
ung. At the foreign office to-day it was
asserted in reply to inquiry that the re-
ported discovery of a quantity of rifles
in the cargo of the Bundesrath was un-
important, since it was already known,
through the manifesto, that there were
several cases of hunting rifles on
board.

THE pHrL1pPINE DEBATE.
Senate's Attention Occupied for Three
Hours Yesterday.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Spirited debate
on the Philippine question occupied the
attention of the senate for nearly three
hours to-day Mr.. Sperry, dem. of Ar
kansas, first addressed the senate in
support of the resolutions recently in
troduced by Mr.. Bacon, dem, of Geor-
gia, regarding the disposition of the
Philippines He was followed by Mr..
PettigreW. silver rep. of South Dakota,
in support of his resolution of inquiry.
Mr. Pettigrew was very bitter in his
attacks upon the administration. Mr..
Wolcott, rep. of Colorado replied to Mr..
Pettigrew, scathingly arraigning the
South Dakota senator for the attitude
he had assumed on the Philippine
question.
He declared his belief that if Agui-
naldo himself occupied the seat in the
senate occupied by Mr.. Pettigrew rep
resentng the people of South Dakota,
who had sent their sons as soldiers to
the Philippines, he would be too patri-
otc, too devoted to the interests of the,
country to assume the attitude assum-
ed by the present South Dakota sena-
tor. Mr.. Wolcott adverted, ALSO to the
speech recently delivered by Mr. Bev
eridge, rep, of Indiana, sharply criti-
csing it for the spirit Of green which
seemed to animate the senator in MAX
ing such a deliverance. AT the con-
clusion of the Philippine discussion,
Mr.. Rawlins, dem. of Utah, addressed
an elaborate argument to the senate in
opposition to the proposed financial
legislation.

HADLEY AND BRYAN.
Interviews With Them on the Question
OfTrusts

st. Louis, Jan. 15.-Colonel William
Jennings Bryan and President Arthur
T. Hadley of Yale university were in
terviewed to-day relative to the lat
ters proposal to ostracise trust mag
mates. Both are agreed on the idea
that social recognition should be denied
to any man engaged in trust or 9TH
er business enterprise inimical to the
public welfare, and that the public
mind should be educated to see the evils
that exist In the trust system.
President Hadley said my opinion
is that many of the evils commonly at
tributed to trusts do not properly be-
long there. The evils that do exist
ought to be clearly pointed out, and
where it is shown that man is en-
gagged in an unworthy enterprise the
people should deny him social reeog-
milton. I believe the time will come
when they will do so.''
Colonel Bryan said: "a man who tries
to rob the public by means of trust
or by wrecking a bank or a railroad
should no more be countenanced by
society than a plain highwayman."

ternoon in Even Mcintyre & Co.'S store
on Chapel street It was discovered by
one of the clerks about 2:40 yesterday
afternoon and an alarm was rung from
box II at the corner of Chapel and
Orange streets. The fire department.
quickly responded and the fire was ex-
tinguished before any damage Of con-
sequence was done. An investigations,
of the cause of the fire showed that a..
pile of paper had accumulated under
a counter and had been chewed up by
mice. A portion of a burned match led
the fire marshal to the conclusion that
match had been ignited by mice and
set fire to the chewed up paper After
the fire was extinguished the pieces
of paper Were pulled out and about two
bushels of the chewed up pieces were
found under the counter The loss oc-
casioned by the fire will amount to-
only about $50. While on the way to
the fire No. SIS hose wagon broke tire

meeting of the Presbyterian ministers
of Chicago to-day Rev. Arthur ].
Brown, D. d., of New York, secretary
of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign
Missions, made an address in which he
took strong grounds against the Beers
and in favor of the British in their
present conflict for supremacy in South
Africa. Il am in favor of England in
her fight In Africa, because I know she
will carry the spirit of humanity with
her. said Mr.. Brown. There is al
ways a breath of civilization following
the British flag" The speaker also
spoke In favor of the retention of the
Philippines for the sake of civilization
and of the spirit of religion. DR. Brown
commented on the international COM
plications in Asia and said: 1T is in
Asia that England's real power will be
felt. With the menacing attitude of
France and Russia, England must look
well or she will be forced to war with
those nations. But her hand will
spread the word of God, and, therefore,
we should look with favor upon her."

THE MoLINEUx TRIAL.
Prosecution Trying to Establish Mo.
tive for the Poisoning of Barnet.


New York, Jan. 15.--To-day for the
first time in the trial of Roland B. Mol
ineux for the murder of Mrs. Katherine
j. Adams, evidence was introduced by
the state for the purpose of proving, If
possible, motive for poisoning II. c.
Barnet by Molineux. While Molineux
is not on trial for the murder of Bar
net, 1t is extremely important for the
prosecution to connect Molineux with
Barnet's death as showing Molineux's
character, his letter writing habits and
his alleged use Of cyanide of mercury
to kill those whom he hated.
To question by the recorder As
sistant District Attorney Osborne-after
one of the states witnesses had testi-
fied--replied: 1--WE have proved that
the defendant lived with Blanche
Chesebrough in 1897, and we will now
prove that he did not after a while
Another man intervened.'
Later Mr.. Osborne in explanation of
his procedure said that he proposed to
show that from November, 1897, to
January, 1898, the defendant and the
woman whom he afterwards married
lived together as man and wife before
they We're married, and We're so known
81 257 West Seventy-hfth street; that
Blanche Chesebrough then went to live
at 257 Westend avenue and lived there
alone, that the defendant dropped out
of sight and was not hard of until they
We're married; that there was another
caller on Blanche Chesebrough before
she married the defendant and that
that man was H. G. Barnet.
Mr.. Osborne by way of explanation
of a motive said that he had shown a
system in the Cornish case in the hir-
ing of the letter box and the writing of
letters to medical concerns and that he
would show a similar system in the
Barnet case. This was the most i'm
pOrtant feature of the DAYS session

Gated ignorance and incompetence so
gross as to be ridiculous, If the mater
ial interests of the citizens had not
been at the mercy Of such officials
"The conduct of the dock department
is criticised especially in reference to
the purchase of supplies Action to
prevent levying of political assessments
on the judiciary is recommended. In
conclusion the report urges that the
meetings of all city boards be public
because Sin free government publicity
is absolutely essential" The majority
of the committee presented eight bills
for the consideration of the Legislature.
The minority report i'm part says:
AS to the report of the majority in
general we feel justified in claiming
that it is grossly unfair, conspicuously
partisan, coarse in language, vituper-
ative in temper and absolutely unjusti-
fed expect by the reckless disregard
and perversion of the proof adduced be-
fore your committees. In preliminary
report we directed attention to the no
torious fact that the committee had
been discredited from the beginning
before the people; that the partisan
puIpuoc VI lis ClCdI IlOII was universally
recognized; that the appointment of
two dismissed office holders as counsel
was accepted as a clear indication that
the aim of the committee would be re-
venge, rather than reform; that the in
sulting treatment of witnesses and the
ignorance and incompetency with
which they were questioned had arous-
ed the public disgust and indignation,
and that the people, the press and the
pulpit were unanimous in their unfav-
orable characterizat ton of the commit
tee and it's proceedings.

NExr nEpUnAIcAN TICK EFT.
Mckinley Sure of denomination
Vexed Question of Vice Presidency.

Philadelphia, Jan. 15.-Henry c..
Payne of Wisconsin. a member of the
subcommittee of the national republl-
can committee, having in charge the
arrangements for the holding of the ma
tional convention in June, left to-day
for Washington, where the sub-com-
mittee will hold meeting this week.
Before leaving to-day, Committeeman
Payne spoke of the question of the vice
presidency. He said:
1T has been conceded that President
Mckinley will be renominated at this
convention by unanimous vote, but
when it comes to the second place on
the ticket all the indications at this
time point out that there will likely be
large field of candidates, To name
the candidate now is an -imposslbility.
The name of Cornelius N Bliss of New
York would be acceptable to the people
of many of the states, both east and
west. but Mr. Bliss has said that un-
der no consideration must his name be
used for the nomination. l have heard
the name of Attorney General Griggs
spoken of for the place, but it ia not at
all likely he would accept it.
For some time past the west has
been perfectly willing to allow the vice
presidential nomination to go to New
York, but the multiplicity of candidates
in that state of late has made the
statesmen of the middle west Look at
the situation in a different light If
New York wants the nomination she
must stop quarreling If the Mississippi
Valley will present candidate with a
strong backing, 1t has been a long
time since the west has had vice pres
ident and unless there is some decided
stand taken by the eastern statesmen,
the west will do just what she was
ready to do in the last presidential
campaign. 1t was only the great popu-
larty and the friendship entertained for
the late Garret A. Hobart which pre-
vented the west from pushing her own
candidate"

MEANING OF "UN1rED srArEs.o
COMMITTEES Discusses the
QuestiOn-One OuiniOn

Washington Jan. 15.-The ways and
means ub-committee recently named to
inquire into the legal meaning of the
Omitted States as applicable to newly
acquired islands or dependencies to-day
discussed the general subject. The
members feel that the question is piv-
otal one on which will depend the adop-
tion of tariff systems for the islands
The only decision directly bearing on
the point is by Chief Justice Marshall,
holding that the term United States"
means the entire territory over which
this government exercises control. The
members of the committee, including
Mr. Newlands who started the inquiry,
are inclined to view the foregoing opin-
ion as dctum incidental to the case
and not establishing fixed principle of
law. s4

st. Johns. N. F., Jan. 15 (midnight).-
The latest advices destroy many theo-
ries propounded concerning the wreck
in St. Mary's Bay and render it more
mysterious than ever. Owing to the
continuance of turbulent seas it is inn
possible to launch boats or to venture
down to the beach with any safety.
Bodies and wreckage are still visible,
the latter increasing as the ship breaks
UP. The colonial cruiser Fiona is now
at the wreck. She will be Joined in the
morning by the tug Ingraham, and a
diver will then go down if the sea per-
1nits. Failing this, an attempt will be
made to effect landing in Sculpin
Cove where there are two bodies and
almost an entire boat 1t seems highly
probable that the name Of the vessel
will be learned tomorrow. A report
from Boston that the steamer may be
the Parran, Norwegian, is wrong. The
Parran was sighted on the day Of the
wreck.

RAILROAD UNION MEN HAPPY.
A Consolidation That Has Hampcred
Them TO be Dissolved.

Boston, Jan. 15.-There is much re-
joicing among the railroad union men
in the New England states because on
Thursday next the consolidation known
as the American Federation of Rail-
road Employees will go out of existence.
The men claim that, being bound by
the rules of the order they had not the
power to quit work on few hours
notice, and without that power there
was no chance that their complaints
against unfair treatment would be at
tended to by the officials of railroads.
The rank and file of the members of
the railroad labor organizations feel
that they now can remedy the griev-
ances more quickly and effectively by
their independent stand than they pos
sibly could under the present system,
soon to be abolished.
