FACING one of the largest audiences
ever gathered within the monster space
of Madison Square Garden, William
Randolph Hearst, the democratic and
Independence league candidate for gov
ernor of New York, last night predicted
bis own election by $50, 900. A feature
of the meeting was the fact that Mr.
Hearst was given one OF the greatest re-
captions, from the point OF cheering, ever
given to any man in the history of New
York political meetings. The political
significance of all this thunder, which
Mr.. Hears. suddenly aroused, after SEEM
ingly to be losing strength in the terri
tory of Manhattan, is something the
wisest politician cannot copjure. Chas'
F. Murphy, when asked BY one OF It's
closest friends last night II he was sin-
cerely for Hearst, and If he would deliver
Tammany to Hearst as far as bis In
fuence goes, replied vigorously; VI
don't care a damn for this man Hearst.
He is a monkey on a stick, 80 far as am
concerned. But David B. Hill and Others
have been trying to swing this State into
the democratic column for years and all
the democrats have got out OF it has been
defeat. All we want is to elect man
governor on the democratic ticket
Wen get the goods afterwards. And
these are democratic principles accord
ing to many of the present New YORK
leaders of this party No wonder so
MANY democrats outside of New YORK
are hoping that Hearst and bis followers
will be swept out OF existence next
month.

knife Only Remedy for Cure of Cancer.

Paris, Oct. 23.-PrOfessor Monproht, of
the School of Surgery at Angers, who has Just
returned from the international conference on
cancer at Heidelberg, says that cancer is un-
doubtedly durable by surgical operation If Ia
ken in time. No serum has yet been discovered
that will cure cancer and find, he says, that
the Germans are not further advanced in
this respect than we are in France. Cancer, II
taken in its esrlier stages, is qHite durable but
only By means Of surigal operation that IS
the only remedy. The public must not be al
lowed TO 20 on believing that Ike only practi-
cal cure for cancer is from some purify medi-
cal discovery instead Of the surgeons knife.
Even if the remedy be ultimately discovered,
the surgeons interventin would still be neees-
sery, for the tumors would have to be re-
moved

Political Crisis I'm England.

London, Oct. 23.-Extreme import.
auce is attached to the session of parlia-
ment which opened today in view of the
possibility that before final adjournment
comes the breach already existing be-
tween the House of Commons and the
House Of Lords will have become 80
wide that active steps will be undertaken
to abolish the hereditary upper house.
The dead lock already existed before
the adjournment of the last session. An
effort will be made by the government to
force the Lords to agree to the pending
measures which have caused so much
discussion Every indication shows that
the Lords will resist to the end. An ap-
peal to the country on the proposition to
either abolish the House of Lords, or TO
take away its powers, is regarded as the
certain outcome of the struggle unless
compromise can be arranged.
Members of the government and liber.
al leaders in the Commons have gone
further than to merely hirt that such
movement to do away with the upper
house will follow continued opposition
to the advanced legislation proposed by
the government, and for what the liberal
party is pledged, and for that reason the
session just opening is regarded as the
most important in years.
There are several measures of great
importance to the country over which
The two houses have clashed. The first
10 come will be the education bill. Both
the Church of England and the Catholic
Church are opposed to the measure.
Nearly every bishop has expressed his
opposition, and many of the Lords as
well have declared they will never agree
to ii becoming law.
The struggle between the two houses
may become bitter at the very beginning
of The session over the bill.
There is a possibility, however, that
the issue may be postponed pending the
appeal of the legal decision against the
public payment for religious instruction
in elementary schools. If the Lords
take up the consideration of the educa-
ton bill at once, trouble is expected.
Several other measures which have
aroused just as bitter feeling will be sent
to the House of Lords soon by the Com
mons. One of these is the trades dis.
putes bill. The measure originally Was
drawn up by the Attorney General, but
the government substituted the bill of
the labor party which gives greater pro-
lection to trades unions ~ exempting
their funds from liability for illegal acts
committed by members of the unions.
