wild and eager for the fray on
Tuesday morning. When they left
home on Tuesday morning they had
two objects in view, Tax Reform and
jubllationl AS the returns, published
in the Sentinel, under protest, in
dictate, they got both. 1t was
sweeping victory for Farmer Ian
ham and Tax Reform, Of course
Farmer Lanham was profuse in his
thanks for the kindly assistance
had rendered and requested that
my left hand be kept in ignorance
of what my right hand received.
Before left town called on
Bro. Bolden, of the Sentinel, aud
offered my coincidence. He was
not in receptive mood by any
means and protested vehemenily
that We had thrown too much hay
seed in his eyes. | reminded him
in as mild manner as | could that
We were conducting a hay-seed
campaign in the interest OF the
farmers; that both factions had the
same object in view-the good of
the party. But Bro. Bolden refused
to look through my spectacles, and
from the style of his language was
inclined to lampoon Farmer Lanham
for capturing the pie. The brethren
in Taylor seem to be partial to pie
as the Preston brethren. When
deprived of this diet they grow
dyspeptic and eschew brotherly
love. / pointed out to Bro. Bolden
the necessity of falling down upon
his knees and worshiping Farmer
Lanham, who, as the campaign grew
apace, would be the salvation of
the party. He still protested that
the dose of medicine which the
Doctor Farmer had prepared for
them was not palatable one, but
inasmuch as there was no avenue Of
escape he would have to take his
medicine along with Ira and Bruce.
l was rejoiced to find the party
so harmonious in Taylor county.
Harmony seemed to prevail on
every hand. The county is full Of
thermometers at the present time,
who assured me that nothing could
disrupt the party so long as there
was pie in sight The enthusiasm
on Tuesday conyinces me that their
declaration IS correct.
Take this message back to the
stalwarts of Preston" said Post
master Bruce Blue, in mournful
tones. "and tell them that we deeply
sympathize with the pie hunters who
were slain in battle IN the noble
Banner county, Tell them that the
interloper whom they sent to Taylor
is the cause of our mourning to dayl
Tell them the only regret we have
is that we will have TO eat crow and
shout for him until after the cleo
ton. Say to them that Bro. Bolden
is taxing his ingenuity in yonder
sanctum to prepare a double leader
eulogizing Farmer Lanham as the
only genuine Republican pie hunter
in Taylor county today. We will
vote for him along the lines sug
gested by Senator Nathan Bay
Scott, the inventor Of the smelling
machine"
Embracing Bruce 1 assured him
that we would do likewise in Pres
ton; that our yell was of short dura
ton, and before the lies of Nov
ember we would all be hurrahing
for the PIE. nominees. One touch
of the party lash makes us all fall
in line. We are all thin skinned
and cannot bear the cato nine tails.

MANY ARBITRATION TREATIES.
Great Britain and Mexico Ready tc
 Negotiate Mish D. s.

Washington. Nov. s.-secretary g. Hay has received assurances, not official but sufficient from Great Britain and Mex ico that they stand prepared to nego- tiate arbitration treaties with America on the lines of that recently concluded between France and the United States. Consequently the state department will proceed at once to complete the whole fabric of treaties so as to have them ready for submission to the senate when 1t meets again December 5.
 Baron Von Sternberg, the German ambassador, was at the state depart ment to-day, and it is understood that he is prepared to proceed at once with the German treaty. The Italian and Swiss treaties are almost complete. It Is known that a number of the coun- tries of Central and South America stand ready to enter into similar ar arrangements with the United States, but as a preliminary 1t is desirable that they adhere to The Hague peace con yention under which any arbitration re- suItIng from the arbitration treaties must be tried.

 Whereas, MT. and Mrs. William J. Hills, in spite of their good record and the absence of charges of inefficiency have been removed from the offices of superintendent and librarian of the Bridgeport library.

 what will be the last public hearing held by the aldermanic committee on railroads and bridges on the cut prob lem, unless an extra meeting is peti- tioned for, was that in city hall last evening. The audience room was thronged, and in spite of the installa- ton of extra chairs coraIled from other rooms a number of citizens were oblig- ed to stand. z
 Chairman Ricketts opened the meet ing by stating that the question to be discussed was, briefly, whether or not 1 the city should take upon itself cer- tain share of the expense necessary to eliminate the cut and substitute some one of the other suggested routes.
 The general sentiment seemed to be very strongly against the proposition for bonding the city to accomplish such l a result. Many of the speakers favor ed keeping the railroad in the present cut and having the improvements in. l the cut ade in as satisfactory a manner as possible.
 Thomas G. Bennett, president of the Winchester Repeating Arms company, opposed any change tending to the abo- lition of the present cuts. He said in l full:
 MIR. BENEFITS REMARKS. l would like to call attention to the fact that there are other places that are spending money not to get rid of ithe railroad, but are spending money to get the railroad into the center of the city. You see that going on in New York where millions are being spent to get the railroads into the center of the city-the Pennsylvania and the New York Central. Now, we ought to have this road in the center of the city. It would be a great boon to us If We were Ito have a way station somewhere along Ichapel street, but that need not be dis cussed tonight

New York, Nov. s.-W. R. Hearst is sued the following statement tonight with regard to the report that steps were being taken to organize a new party:
 T have no knowledge of any meeting between MT. Watson, Mir. Bryan and myself. I think the democratic party will reorganize itself on basis of true democracy, eliminating the Wall street influence that proved so disastrous in this campaign. and I, as loyal demo- crat, will be very happy to see that done. am always ready to contribute my own services and those of my pa- pers to the democracy for reorganiza- tion or any other purpose, if they shall be required.
 T shall be glad to work with all loyal democrats for the success of democrat ic principles, but think the loyal dem- ocrats are quite capable of choosing their own leaders, and imagine this point will now be conceded by those who endeavored to force leaders upon them.''

WILL CONTEST ERECTION
Victory by One Vote in Hartford to be
 Carried to CourtE.

Carried to Courts.
 Hartford Nov. 9.--The contest for state senator from the Third district, where Matthew Hogan won from Frank A. Hagarty by one vote, will be con- tested and fought out in the legisla- ture, according to a statement tonight of Chairman Robinson, of the republi- can town committee of this city. Ho- gan is a democrat and Hagarty re- publican, and the latter's defeat is due, according to Chairman Robinson, to the throwing cut of certain ballots by the moderator without just cause. One ballot in particular, which if it had not been thrown out would have given the elecrtion to the republican nominee, was not allowed, and 1t is this one that the trouble is over This envelope con- tained a straight republican ticket and a straight democratic ticket, and over MT. Hogan's name on the democratic ticket was pasted the name of the re- publican candidate. It is claimed that the voter, whoever he was, plainly meant, by the pasting of MT. Hagartys name over MT. Hogan's, that he want ed to vote for the former. The moder- ator refused to allow it and the ques- tion was taken up by former Chairman Andrew F. Gates, of the republican state central committee. An entire re- count in the district will be necessary if the republicans insist on taking the matter to the legislature. The votes were; Hogan 2,265, Hagarty 2.254s

General Board Asks Three New Battle
 ships and Other Warships to Cost
 $41,3O0,0OO - Homogeniety Earnestly
 Urged-Great Speed Recommended
 for scouts--Torpedo Boats Should be
 More Scaworthy.
 Washington, Nov. s.--Three battle- ships, five scout cruisers, six torpedo boat destroyers and two squadron col Iliers at an aggregate maximum cost of $41, 100000, is the building programme which the general board of the navy has recommended to the secretary of the navy to urge congress to authorize tat it's next session. Secretary Morton will refer the recommendations to the board of construction, for comment and endorsement, and will base his recom- smendation to congress on the reports ! of the two boards. The general boards recommendation are signed by Admir- 1 al Dewey, president of the board.
 Homogeneity is earnestly urged by I IllO DCeIu cSo LAG SI0dI IIcSQl tOI IU6 navy. Partly for this reason and partly because of the general commendation at home and abroad of the latest type of American battleship, the board sug- gests that the new battleships shall be of the general type of the Connecticut class. This will give the navy nine first class battleships of 16,000 tons dis placement each. The board estimates that the complete cost of each of the new battleships when ready for sea will mot exceed $S,000,00O
 l Great speed is urged as the feature lof the scout cruisers recommended. Two million dollars is the estimated 1 limit of cost of each of these ships. Tn character they will follow the general lines of the Chester, Birmingham and Salem, authorized by the last congress, (which have displacements of 4,000 tons. The board thinks the six torpedo boats and six torpedo boat destroyers recom- lmended should have greater size and
 seaworthiness than previously built Evessels of the class.
 ' The board desires that the new de-
 stroyers shall be so constructed so that I they can make long cruises with the Ibattleships without need of repairs and 1travel with ease in a rough sea, even fl ] this necessitates a reduction of speed, 4 The new colliers asked for probably Twill have a displacement of 12,500 tons
 and a speed of about sixteen knots which would enable them to keep uE
 with the battleship squadron at cruis- ling speed.
 It is believed that the recommends Etions of the general board in the nlair twill receive the endorsement of the l board on construction and finally of the secretary himself. Secretary Morton however, probably will not announce his final recommendations for the increase of the navy until he can confer with leading members of the senate ano house naval committees, and be able te .E get some idea of the amount of the ap, J propriation congress is likely to author
 ize for the increase of the navy this .j year.

VICE PRESIDENT- ELECT
 TO VISIT NEW HAVEN
WILL ATTEND YALE-HARVARD
 FOOTBALL GAME.

Accompanied by Mrs. Fairbanks He
 .WnI spend Several Days With His
 Two sons Who Are Attending the
 University-Refers to the Election as
 Notable yIctory-One for Right
 Principles.
 Indianapolis, Nov. S.Senator Charles W. Fairbanks, vice president-elect. to- day received flood of teIegrans, one of the earliest telegrams to arrive be- ing cablegram from John K. Gowdy, consul general at Paris. Speaking of the result of the election, he said:
 Tt is notable victory--one of the greatest victories that has been achiev- ed in American politics. It Is victorss for right principles over wrong ones; it is victory for the principles of the republican party and for the magnifi- cent administration of Theodore Roose- welt as president. The American peo- pie are great people and when they think upon great political questions, their Judgments are righteous alto gether. I am gratified with the results in many of the states of the union, but 1 1t Is needless for me to say that am most gratified with the magnificent patriotism manifested by the great state of Indiana. But we should all re- member that the debate has closed, the l verdict has been rendered, and we all now settle back to our duties as citi- zens of this great republic and to our duties to one another.
 "I shall probably be in Indianapolis a week longer,S' said the senator to- day when asked regarding his plans.
 Mrs. Fairbanks and have planned to visit our sons Robert and Richard, at Yale, and attend the Yale Harvard football game on November 19. I have an engagement to attend meeting of the Mckinley memorial commission in New York, on November 22, and the Home Market convention in Boston on December 1. It is more than likely that shall not get back to Indianap- olis.''
 The senator did not say what would 1 be his course in regard to the Indiana senatorship, which he now holds. He will resign it formally, but how soon, he was not to-day ready to announce.

HORRORS OF poRr ARTHUR.
Shocking Descriptions of Condition ot
 the Besieged.


 the Besieged.
 London, Nov. 10.-Special dispatches from Port Arthur and Chefoo which are printed in this mornings newspa- pers add little to the recent news of the besieging operations at Port Ar thur, but give terrible descriptions of the condition of the besieged.
 The Daily Mails correspondent be- fore Port Arthur describes the Rus sians killed and those taken prisoners as greatly emaciated and asserts that the men subsist entirely on daily ra- ton of less than two pounds of black bread.
 The, Daily Telegraph's Chefoo corre- spondent declares that the task of burying the bodies of the clain at Port Arthur is now beyond control and that the corpses are simply pitched into the new dock excavations near Golden Hill wher ethere is only few feet of water. The condition of the helpless women is hesrtrending. Several groups of them going to market have been blown to pieces. The street scenes there are said 1 to be sickening.
 Bennett Burleigh sends to the Daily Telegraph a narrowing picture of the condition of the wounded in Port Ar thur, of whom vast numbers are lying unattended within the inner forts. In the name of common humanity, he thinks some effort should be made in behalf of the helpless sufferers, and he suggests that as soon as possible they should be taken upon neutral ships fly. ing the Red Cross and transferred tc lhnSpitals as Chafaa and Shanghai.

PAREER THE NATURAL LEADER
Opinion That He Owes It to His Coun-
 try to Accept.

New York, Nov. s-Wm. s. Rodie. in charge of the bureau of organization of the democratic state committee, to-day expressed himself as follows concerning yesterdays election:
 The result of yesterdays election demonstrates that the American people are contented with present conditions.
 Tt also reveals the actual strength of the conservative democracy which must in the future be the nucleus of a party which will successfully appeal to the country; a party founded on the prin- ciples of equal opportunities for every citizen, attracting to It's ranks patriotic and thoughtful voters.
 "Atlon B. Parker is the natural lead- CT of such a democracy and he owes it to his country to accept the responsi- bility.'
