EXPECTS DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS
Senator Harris Prediction Regarding
the Election in Kansas.

IAo G1cCL1Ou IN Kansas.
Senator Harris Of Kansas has just re-
turned to the United States from Europe,
where ne went some weeks ago to arouse
interest in the stock exhibit Of the st. Louis
exposition. The senat or will go to his home
state and plunge at once into the campaign
His term will expire next March, and his
succession to office will depend upon the
result of the November elections The SEN
ator will make on an average two speeches
day until the campaign Is over. He pre-
diets that the election Of the democra tic
state ticket Is a very probable result
Senator Harris also makes the unioue
prediction that the republicans in reality
do not want to elect ma iority of the
members of the F'ifty-eighth Congress
Divided responsibility would be a God send
to them, he says, and 1t is his belief that
the republicans want to be relieved from
enacins the demanded legislation regard
ing trusts and the tariff.
While Senator Harris believes that the re-
publicans do not want to win, he also saws
that he would not be one Of the chief
mourners II the democrats do not elect the
majority of the members of the next Con
gress.
incidentally. in his travels abroad sena-
tor Harris took 1t upon himself to procure
some evidence Of the charge of the demo-
Gratis that American manufacturers were
selling their goods abroad cheaper than
wearing a pair Of American made shoes
which he purchased In London at 20 per
cent less than he can buy the same shoes
in this country. The pair of shoes will be
one OF his chief campaign arguments as he
makes the rounds Of the state of Kansas.

his CONDITION SATISFACTORY.
Physicians Announcement Regarding
the President

The Presidents physicians dressed the
wound in his leg this morning and subse-
Quently announced that the condition was
satisfactory. The Inflammation Is receding
slowly, but 1t may be a day or two yet be-
fore the physicians can state definitely that
granulation has set in without involving the
bone. The President continues In good
spirits and is taking his enforced confine-
ment philosophically. He spends the major
portion of his time on lounge reading. but
Is ready to take up any necessary business
when 1t Is brought to his attention for ac-
ton. Yesterday afternoon he signed sew
eral pardon cases laid before him by the At
torney General The members Of the cabi-
net are cooperating with the physicians to
secure absolute rest and quiet for the Presi-
dent by refraining from bringing to his at
tentlon any except urgent business. None
Of the cabinet officials called during the
morning, and no one was admitted to the
Presidents room. AS on previous days.
however many persons stopped at the door
of the temporary White House in Jackson
place to inquire about the Presidents condi-
ton and to express their hopes for his
speedy recovery.
1t Is likely that the President will not
make any more trips of consequence away
from Washington this year. 1t Is getting
TOO near the session of Congress, which
means the preparation of an annual mes
sage and many appointments.

CANADA's COOPERATION.
Effect Of Exclusion Of Undesirable I'm.
MIGRANTS.

If Canada decides to cooperate with us
fully in keeping out undesirable immi-
grants" said Mr.. Taylor. assistant secre-
tary Of the Treasury. this morning in COM
penting on the immigration commissioners s
visit to the dominion, cit will be the great
est step that has been taken in long time
toward increasing the effectiveness of our
restrictions. The Canadian government has
recently promulgated an order putting that
country on nearly the same basis as our
own Much will, Of course, depend on the
efficiency OF Its enforcement, and Commits
sioner Sargent has gone there to confer
with the officials to see what arrangements
can be made for much uniformity as
possible In the practices Of the two govern
ments. We are hoping for great results
Canada has been brought to this position
by peculiar play of forces. Formerly she
welcomed practically all the Immigrants
that would come there, because 1t was
short Of laborers: but their tendency was
to get across the border into the United
States. At least one steamship line run-
ming to Canadian ports has, through fts
agents In Europe, advertised that persons
taking passage by 1t would be assured Of
admission into the United States. It's
method was to land them In Canada and
then trust to their getting across the bur-
der line. Since our laws have been effect

COAL FOR NAVAL VESSELS.
Winter Maneuvers Will Not Be Ham
pered for Lack of It.

There Is no danger OF the failure OF the
projected great naval maneuvers in the
Caribbean sea this winter for lack Of coal,
thanks to the foresight Of Rear Admiral
Bradford chief Of the equipment division
That officer long ago foresaw the possibili-
ties OF strike, and ne now Is In the pecu-
harly comfortable position OF having at
command about 100000 tons OF coal dis
tributed throughout the coaling stations
and navy yards, with ironclad contracts be-
hind him which insure the naval vessels in
this country an adequate supply at all
times as long as there is any to be had.
Moreover. not only was the coal purchased
at low figure, ranging from $3.50 to s.. Is
per ton. but the contracts bind the coal
dealers to deliver coal for the future needs
OF the navy at about the same figures.
These facts were developed by questions
submitted by the general board, and Ad-
miral Brad6ord's assurances have given
considerable satisfaction

the Remains in Chinese
Restaurant.
SIX ARRESTS MADE

NEW YORK, September 27.-The headless
and nude body of man was found today
at 80 West Goth street, building occupied
by a Chinese restaurant. Six arrests have

eral detectives traced the odor to the base
ment Of the building and found the body.
The head was in furnace. Blooi was all
over the place Close by, under a pie Of
lumber, Thomas Tobin, a waiter, was
found feigning sleep, according to the
police. There was fire In the furnace
which the police say was eXtinguished with
few pals of water. Then, with a long
bar they pulled the charred head Of a man
out Tobin is under arrest.
Police Captain chan went to the upper
part Of the building, which Is known as the
Empire Hotel. and arrested four men and
woman as witnesses.
Belief That It Was Murder.
The building IS a three-story, shabby
looking, brown-stone structure close to
Broadway.
It is said that suit of clothes, vest,
with a macintosh and a shoe were found
in the furnace.
Blootstatns were found in the cellar,
which led to the belief that a murder WIS
committed there and the body taken to the
furnace, which is near.
1t Is said that one of the men arrested
as witnesses, named McEnerney, has given
the police some valuable information and
has limited that he saw part of the tragedy.
The dead man Is said to have been a patron
of the place.
The odor Of the burning flesh was pre-
cepttble, 1t is said, block away.
Story Of the Murder.
According to Captain Sheehan McAner-
ney is the bartender in the place. The
captain says McAnerney told him that
Tobin; the dead man, who was known about
the place as Captain Jim of Long Island; a
woman known as Turner, and he, McAner-
ney, were sitting In room drinking at
about o'clock this morning when Tobin
and Captain Jim" had a quarrel. Their
trouble became very bitter and Tobin left
the room, returning in few seconds with
a cleaver with which he struck Captain
Jim" on the head, after which he dragged
the man downstairs to the cellar, where
he hacked the body to pieces.

lively inforced on the boundary, however,
we have turned back 80 many of the unde-
srable classes that the stream of immigra-
tion through Canada has become clogged,
and her hospitals and relief institutions
have been filling up to a surprising extent.
This has brought home to the Canadians
our own unless the worst elements Of the
stream were to be backed up on her own
territory.
This applies only to undesirable immi-
grants from across the Atlantic Canada Is
apparently not ready TO Join us in Chinese
exclusion, although there was report
in the morning newspapers that Commits
sioner Sargent has made an agreement
with the Canadian Pacific by which 1t will
land Chinese immigrants only at certain
points. That would help us somewhat"

had moved a closure on the motion
that government business supercede
everything, the Irishmen began yelling
"Outragel Gagl" etc.
ODonnell endeavored to address the
chair and the speaker called for or

ing the house, despite the speakers
directions that he sit down. The pre-
mier then moved the Irishman's sus.
pension, and the cries were imme-
diately redoubled
ODonnell crossed the floor of the
house and shook his fist in Premier
Balfours face, and began to upbraid
him His remarks were inaudible, ow-

tice of the angry man. save to smile
at his remarks.
