FEARS DEFEAT THIS FALL.
CHARLES \. MOORE THINKS REPUBLI-
CANS WILL BE BEATEN THROUGH
MISTAKES ABOUT RECIPROCITY.

Charles 4. Moore, president Of the American
Protective Tariff League, told Tribune re-
porter yesterday that the outlook for the Con-
gress elections next fail was gloomy, and that
the Republicans were likely to lose their ma
jorlty in the lower house. Wilbur F Wakeman,
secretary and treasurer of the league. returned
yesterday from Washington, where he made
canvass Of the political situation. He brought
to Mr Moore somewhat discouraging report.
Things in decidedly bad shape FOR the
fall elections" said Mr. Moore. II they don't

What's the matter"

said Mr. Moore. We are getting too far away
from protection principlcs--or at least some OF
our people are. Reasonable reciprocity IS

thing. I believe in the reciprocity that wants
to know just what We here at home are going
TO get from our foreign competitors when

worth Of their manufactures into our markets.

every dollars worth that we give away. That's

In London the business mans favorite

are few In New York. The streets OF
downtown New York and the streets in
the old city Of London-two quarters
which are somewhat similar in char

districts near the Bank OF England and
the stock exchange in London consist Of
numerous small courts and alleys, only
few feet wide in some cases, not al
ways with room for a cart or cab to
pass. and interesected By wider streets,
such as Cornhill, Lombard Street, and
Old Broad Street. The courts are again
intcrsected by numerous passages AID

alleys. and refectors are generally used
The oh1co buildings are not high-six or

is well covered. and if the buildings

NEW DANGERS AT MARTINIQUE

The terrible experiences through
which the inhabitants Of Martinique have
recently passed and are still passing
render them peculiarly liable to disease.
The history of epidemics shows that
great mental distress and the depress-
Ing devitalizing effects Of improper OF
inadequate nutrition have ever been the
most prominent predisposing factors to
pestilence. The unsanItary habits of the
people. the near presence Of infectious
diseases. ard the approach of the an
healthy season do not tend TO lessen the
weight Of these factors IN the case OF
Martinique Under the present cfrcum-
stances It would surprise no one If a
general Epidemic of yellow fever. for ex-
ample. should make its appearance.
while the chances are large that local
outbreaks OF dysentery, typhoid fever.
and allied intestinal diseases will ap-

every reason to be satisfied with the

should be recognized promptly. There
