SENATOR DAVIS CONDITION.
Ampufation of His Foot Considered
undesirable at Present.

- VI AAAs ~ WV
Undesirable at Present.
ST. PAUL, MINI, Nov. Sat a con-
sultaiioa this morning it was decided that
an amputation of the diseased foot Of
Senator Davis would not be desirable
DR.. Murphy's opinion is that Senator
Davis is suffering from local gangrene
There is an accumulation OF pus in the
sole of the foot and an operation was nee
essary TO relieve the gathering. The SEN
ator's heart is sound and there is no
evidence of general infection.
Or. J. B. Murphy. of Chicago, a spe-
cialist in blood diseases, and DR.. A. J.
Stone, of st. Paul. performed the opera
ton which gave Senator Davis relief from
pains which had troubled him all night
The reason assigned for not amputating
the foot is the fear that the shock might
prove fatal or that the blood had beco me
so impregnated with poison as to make
the case hopeless. The members of the
family are maintaining an outward APP
pearance of cheerfulness and the Senator
Is keeping up bravely. Among the hun
dreds of kilograms received by the Sena-
tor was one from President Mckinley.

But while the mortgages paid off and

the decrease in the real estate mo; sgages

unprecedented Exodus From WASH
tnEton OF Government Clerks.
The great exits from the city. the sta
tons Of the Pennsylvania and Of the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroads. were crowded
all yesterday with an outgoing throng of
voters destined to nearby towns in neigh
boring States. Every train leaving the
city carried additional coaches to accom-
modate the increased traffic. Travel has
been heavy since the first OF the month,
increased by the numerous voters resid-
ing in distant localities who required an
early start in order to get to the polls
Of their homes. Outgoing passengers yes
terday were of nearer States. and the an
ticipations in view of the lower fares for
short distances of n greater volume OF
this class of travel was fully borne out
by the number of applications for special
rate tickets and by the appearance of the
depots.
Another matter which perhaps added to
the increased travel to the States Of
Maryland, West Virginia. and Virginia is
the removal of the restrictions in the sale
Of special election-rate tickets to those
States by the railroads. The congestion
created by the system of headquarters Ger
titicates. with numerous endorsements.
and red-tape delays. it was seen would
operate against the sale of short distance
tickets. and the railroads yesterday ac-
cepted the reduced fares for such tickets
without requiring the usual certificate.
Many who would have considered it too
troublesome to secure certificates for
small sums. and who might consequently
have remained in the city. were induced
to go to their homes by this arrangement.
The election travel of the year has been
unprecedented. No estimate OF the travel
Of 1896 is at this moment to be had. but
the railroad officials are agreed that 1t bore
no comparison with the present outpour OF
voters from the city. Figures furnished
them by the two party headquarters. where
certificates are issued to voters to enable
them to secure the reduced rates. indicate
that the Democratic Congressional Com
mittee has issued 1900 certificates. while

CLOSE OF THE CAMPAIGN.
Sligo, Md, Democrats Hold Their
Last Rally.


The closing meeting Of the campaign in
the Thirteenth district in Montgomery
County, Nd, was held last night at Sligo.
1t was an open air meeting and was most
enthusiastic. 1t was presided over by Blair
Lee. who introduced the speakers, Stilson
Hutchins, A. NJ. Fulton. and William H.
Fletcher.
Mr.. Fulton was the first speaker. He
discussed trusts and Imperialism. During
the course of his remarks some one in the
audience asked him IL he thought Aguinaldo
was a patriot the same as Washington.
Mr.. Fulton answered that it made no diff
ference; that the Filipinos were doing what
we did against England, fighting for lib
erty. His remarks were literally ap-
plauded.
Mr.. Fulton was followed by Stilson
Hutchins. who said this country was found
ed on the principle Of government by tho
consent Of the governed. The Filipinos
were fighting for their liberty the same as
We fought over hundred years ago. In
trying to subdue the Filipinos, he said, we
had spent over 5000. 000, 900, which would
construct the Nicaragua Canal: and the
Nicaragua Canal would be a benefit to
every man in this country. The Filipinos
had the right to govern themselves the
same as we had. We could not, he said.
afford to make them citizens of the United
States, to let them come in competition
with our laborers. and yet that Is what
will be done If the Republican policy is
carried out. The Filipinos. he said, are
entitled to establish a government of their
own.
Mr.. Hutchins urged every man to vote
for Bryan, then to see that at least ono
friend also voted for the peerless leader
of Democracy. who was the man of the
people. Speaking Of trusts. Mr.. Hutchins
said they were In control Of the Republican
Congress and were passing laws to pro-
mote their interests. Mr.. Hutchins' talk
was frequently punctuated with applause.
Mr.. Fletcher made general talk on i'm
perialism. which was well received

Growth of Our Foreign Trade.
