are the four republican districts in
Maryland. The republicans think
Maryland will be democratic this time.
There are three or four doubtful dis
tricts in West Virginia. Hughes in the
fifth district has an especially nard
fight. There is a double republican
nomination in this district.
In Ohio there is rump candidate
against Hilderbrant, and there are two
or three other districts where the re-
publicans expect trouble.
Kentucky has but one republican
esentative-Hunter, from the elev-
enth. 1t is not sure that he can win
again.
BOwersOck has rump candidate
against him in Kansas, and Campbell,
in the fourth, has trouble.
These are the specific reports of
trouble the committee has in hand.
They are amply provided with funds
and intend to make a hard fight in
every district where they have a fight
ing chance. At that they do not expect
to carry the house by more than twen-
ty majority-if they get that. They
have thirty-one now.

BROKEN BACK FIXED WITH WIRE
William O'DonneIPs Fractured Spine
Sewed Up With Silver Cords.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 31.-His
fractured spine healed after having
been sewed up and otherwise mended
with silver wire. William O'Donnell
tai yesterday. He was cured, with the
exception of a little paralysis on one
who performed the remarkable opera
ton says will eventually pass away.
O'Donnell who was given up as in
durable half a dozen times, was in
jured in May last. He was driver
for the Adams Express company. His
team collided with trolley car. o.
Donnell was thrown out and the big
gray horse fell upon him, fracturing
his spine.
In the Polytechnic hospital, where he
was conveyed, the physicians said that
he had hardly one chance in hun
dred for his life. Even if he recovered,
they said he would be crippled for life.
DR.. Francis P. Stewart, the surgeon
who recently saved the life of a negro
in the jefferson hospital by stitching
up a cash in his heart, determined that
he would try to mend O'Donnelrs back.
The operation was one of the. most
trying and delicate the hospital staff
had ever witnessed. ODonnell stood
the ordeal so we'll that slight hopes
were entertained for his recovery.
Several times however it seemed as
if he would die. Soon the fractured
parts began to knit and grow strong.
When O'Donnell, on a wheel chair
was pushed out of the hospital yester-
day. his face was radiant with the
prospect of a new lease on life. In a
few weeks it is expected he will be
able to walk.

in the country where the republicans
will make contest. Actual condi-
tons were demanded. These reports
are now all in. They nave been sup
plemented with reports from the many
republican candidates who have been
in the city, and the committee has a
fair working knowledge of the situa-
ton from their viewpoint.
Losses In Connecticut.
All districts in Connecticut are
doubtful as the republicans see them.
In 1892. Connecticut was a democratic
state. 1t was carried by the republic
cans in 1896 and held by them in 1900.
The reason Mckinley received his plu-
ralities in Connecticut was because the
republican managers were able to con-
vince the great army of mill employees
that they would lose their places if
Bryan was elected. This year the re-
pubiicans think the democrats who
voted for Mckinley will vote in a large
measure for Parker. There are five
representatives from Connecticut, four
by districts and one at large. All are
republican at this time. Two of the
districts have large pluralities and two
ordinary. The plurality for delegate
at-large was about $4,000. which the
republicans consider the best plural
ity. and they think this may be over
turned.
There are no definite reports on the
Massachusetts situation. It is not yet
certain what the reciprocity agitation
will do, though it is understood that
Senator Lodge will concede a point and
refer to reciprocity in the republican
state platform. This will help but the
republicans think they may lose a seat
or two.
New Jersey is doubtful. In the fifth
district Fowler had about hoo plurali-
ty; in the third Howell had about 1900.
and in the fourth Lanning mad about
1000. These are in no way sure for
the republicans. They think they may
win back the ninth. where Benny, the
democrat, won by 799.
The La Toilette republicans are 60
ing after Babcock and Miner in Wis
consin. Both have large normal repub-
lican ma jorities that should save them
but the La Toilette men say they will
defeat THESE two republicans if it can
be done. In Milwaukee, the republic
cans have two districts where there are
fair pluralities. However, there are
about 5000 Socialist votes in Milwau
kee, and it is expected that many of
these will vote the democratic ticket.
Maryland Will Be Democratic.
The Delaware district is doubtful. So

in Cebu, Leyte, LuZon, Masbate, Min
danao. Mindoro. Negroes, Panay, Para
gon, Samar, Saraogon and many other
islands. 1t is we'll displayed in the
forestry building. 1t is worth upon
the beach where it is cut. 10 cents per
square foot; 80 cents delivered at Ma
Mia and $1.45 per 1000 feet of lumber.
1t is probably the most common and
best known hard wood in the Philip
pine Islands.
The texture is fine, and granny, and
susceptible of a fine polish. 1t is Of
great value for building purposes. on
account of it's great strength and being
exempt from decay. 1t is cut into mag
nificent planks and is used for flooring
door panels and other furnishings and
finishings in the construction Of the
better class of buildings. 1t is used
in ship building for everything except
ing the keel. 1t is excellent wood for
statues and other ornamental wood
work as it is not subject to the attacks
of insects which deface and destroy
many kinds of wood in the Philippines.
There are great opportunities for
making money by handling the fine
woods of these islands, for the mar
kets of the world.
A finer display Of different kinds of
woods, has probably never been made
than that contained in the Philippine
fOroctry aYhihit at the Worlds fair

epEa c. SMITH TELLS OF FINE
TIMBER THAT ABOUNDs IN
THE ISLANDS.
MAGNIFICENT Display Is Made at the
St. Louis Expositon-Great
Opportunities Offered.

In a previous article, referring to the
forestry display by the Philippine is
lands at the worlds fair, the Nara
wood was particularly described, it be-
longing to the superior group and first
in general use for fine furniture, doors,
casing and flooring in the better ap-
pointed dwellings,, writes Eber G..
Smith.
A number of slabs finely polished in
the forestry building and the hand
some tables in it and various other
buildings in the Philippine reservation
are beautiful specimens Of nara. the
piano in the administration building is
also built of nara wood.
In my former articles, nara was
called the mahogany of the Philippines,
quoting Foreman, but on account OF it's
close resemblance, texture and specific
gravity, it seems it would better be en-
titled to be called the rose wood of
the Philippines 1t is eighth among
the woods of the islands in resistance,
twenty-third in elasticity and thirty
first in specific gravity
OF the fine woods of the superior
group, Calantas is the next in impor-
lance to nara. OF this wood there is
an excellent display in the forestry
building. The two large slabs, 39x51
feet and four inches thick, highly pol
ished on one side, is magnificent sam
pie of the Calantas wood. From this
and other specimens on exhibit, the
worlds fair visitor can form a good
idea of its Importance. 1t is fairly dis
tributed over the islands and is worth
from five to six cents per square foot
on the beach where it is cut, and 80
cents delivered in the log at Manila,
and 500 per 1000 feet linear measure
in lumber, in Manila. While these are
the classified prices they should not by
any means be taken as a basis for
business calculations.
With proper transportation, modern
methods of chopping and handling logs
and good saw mills, taken together with
the cheap labor that can be had in the
islands. there is no reason why the
fine woods of the Philippines might not
ha rla1 no Of
world at a lower figure than similar
woods from other countries.
Calantas grows principally on the is
lands of Luzon, Mindoro, Negros and
Paragua.
OF all the woods of the first order,
calantas is first in elasticity and is
therefore most valuable for small boat
building, for making cigar boxes and
ordinary constructions.
OF specific gravity, it is forty first
and for resistance there are forty-six
other woods which rank above it, 1t
IS sometimes enormously called cedar
In America on account Of the close re-
semblance to the south and central
American cedar wood. 1t varies in
shades, from a blood red black red,
purplish red 10 an ashy red. 1t is not
much subject to attacks of insects and
