States Where Gains Are Expected.
Increased Democratic representation

and Wisconsin.
OF the forty districts eIassed as doubt

10 gain thiTty-two districts to control
the House. Conservative political opin-
ion is against the claim OF dominant
Democratic strength in more than a
dozen Of these districts.
The Republicans have distinct advan-
tage in sight. They would require vic

claim is for coed many more, the Re

SERIOUS RIOTS IN VIENNA.
:. roubIe at Meeting of Supporters of a
 Christian Socialist.

Vienna, October 12.-serious election riots occurred this afternoon at Saint Poelten, thirty-fve miles from here. at a meeting of supporters of the Christian socialist candidate for election to the provincial diet. Several trainloads of ans ti-semites. under the leadership of Herr Luergo, burgomaster of Vienna, left here to attend the meeting. Herr Fermar. bur gomaster of Saint Poelten, who Is a na- tionalist, refused to allow the anti-semites from Vienna to march through the center of Saint Poelten, and compelled them to take circuitous route. After the meet ing the anti-semites attempted to force their way through the principal streets of the town and broke through a cordon of police and gendarmes. A regim of infantry was called out and restored or der. Many persons were arrested,
 Another version of the occurrence says three thousand anti-semites were the ob- ject of hostile demonstrations from thoA- sands of members of the Freisinnigs party in Saint Poelten that serious coll lissions occurred there this evening; that the police were powerless to maintain or der, and that the infantry charged the rioters with fixed bayonets.

ONLY ONE MAN KILLED.
French Strikers Make Bitter Attack
 on Use of Soldiers.

Paris, October 12-It now appears that only one man was killed during the en- counter at the Terre Noire coal field Oc- tober 10 between strikers and gendarmes and that the victim was not connected with the strike. Nevertheless, the miners committee has issued manifesto de- nouncing the killing of this man as mur- der and attacking. the government for utilizing gendarmes and soldiers against the strikers,
 The funeral of the Terre Noire victim. which occurs tomorrow, may lead to trouble, as the strikers intend to demon strate at the funeral, and the socialists declare they will carry red flags, which is prohibited
 The principal feature in the strike situ- ation today Is the division which is form ing in the ranks of the strikers. Those of the Pas de Calais district and the department Du Nord, who are the most numerous. decline to mix the questions of an eight hour day and old age pen- sions into the strike, as the central com mittee of the federation of miners decid- ed to do, and declare they are striking purely for an increase in wages. The local committees of the miners in these districts have asked the prefects to in- tervene with the mine owners with a view of securing a settlement The cen tral committee thereupon issued a mani fest calling the pas de calais and Nord committees to obedience.
 This divergence is likely to influence the duration of the strike.

Amelia Bingham.

Amelia Bingham, backed by the strong est caste which will be in Birmingham this season, will be at the Jefferson thea Ire tomorrow night. Miss Bingham has a cluster of stars which will hardly be equaled by any production in the south this season and she will probably play to a packed house.
 When Miss Bingham appears at the Jefferson 1t will be with the same com pany and exactly the same production that she will offer in New York city later in the season when she appears there for long run.
 In commenting on the remarkable strength of the company the Memphis Commercial-Appeal said:
 One of the recent plays of the prolific and often delicious Haddon Chambers called "A Modern Magadalen," was pre- scented last night at the Lyceum theatre by Amelia Bingham and the finest com pany of players seen in this city in twen- ty-five years.
 Her supporting company is the best to be found on the stage in this country. The performance given last night thrilled the crowded theatre as 1t has never been thrilled before. The memory of 1t will last for seasons to come,

Chicago. October 12.-The operation which Mr and Mrs j. Ogden Armour hope will cure their daughter Lolita who has been a cripple since birth was per formed today by Prof. Adolf Lorenz. Of the University of Vienna. Professor Lo- renz pronounced 1t a complete success and said he had not the least doubt that the child would be able to walk as well as the healthiest child when the plaster cast shall be removed next spring.
 Professor Lorenz was aided by his as- sistant Dr. Friederich Mueller, of Vien- na, Dr. Dexter Ashley of New York, who was student under him during the summer; Dr. Frank Billings, Dr. John Ridlon and Dr. J. L. Miller.
 The operation was concluded about two hours after the anaesthetic was ad- ministered.

 The profession of Chicago will have an opportunity to see Professor Lorenz per- form practically the same operation of reducing eongenital dislocation of the hip tomorrow. He will conduct a clinic at the college of physicians and surgeons, and will have four and possibly five patients, who will receive treatment free of cost, what under other circumstances would cost a fortune

Anxious thoughts sometimes perplex the wife who sees maternity before her. If she Is treading an untried path, she sometimes frets herself into a nervous condition which is injurious and pros trating, If motherhood has already been a painful experience she is apt to shrink from the coming trial and by her very meutal anxiety increase the: possibility of her suffering.
 There is no cause for anxiety for those prospective mothers who use Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It tranquilizes the nerves, encourages the appetite, in- duces refreshing sleep and produces mental cheerfulness as well as physical vigor.

Berlin, October 12.-The boerse last week was again much under American influ- ences, and New York reports were watched with very great interest. Never theless the incident ar Montreal and for ced liquidation on Wall street did not effect quotations, the return of cheap money rates, together with other factors, having given certain firmness to values.
 The coal strikes in the United States and France awakened hopes of an import ed foreign demand for German coal. es pecially from France. Last week France began placing large coal orders in West Phaela. French speculators were active in buying coal shares on the Berlin boerse and the result of these conditions was a general advance Iron shares also profited slightly as a result of the an- of the Transvaal tariff chsnges, which are regarded as opening a better market for German goods Other inoustrials shares were quiet. The shares of ocean navigation companies were slightly depressed.
