THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
TOO LATE FOE SPECULATION, TOO
EARLY FOB FIGUilES.
New York and Pennsylvania Democrats are
Jubilant—In Ohio the Eesult is Doubt-
ful—The Chilean Matter.
Washington, Oct. 31.—[Spocial.]— A cor-
respondent of a newspaper once met
Murat Halslond on election dny and asked
him how he thought tho election was going.
His reply was: "It is too lato for speculation
and too early for figures." And as the elec-
tions in Ohio, Iowa, Massachusetts and New
York occur at such an "early" dny any one
who oven discusses tho probabilities of them
will bo sure to uutTor an embarrassment.
At present, in Washington, there is nothing
talked of but those eloctions. The speaker-
ship contest is put to 0110 sido and is never
mentioned. Simulation as to who will go in
the'eabinet in tho places of Secretary of War
Proctor and Attorney General Miller is rarely
indulged in. Tho former, 11 is understood,
wants to go in tho circuit court of appeals,
and the latter will go in the senate to tul^e tho
placo of Edmunds, resignod.
Mil lor was the law partner of Harrison, and
as such impressed him with his knowledge us
a lawyer. It is creditable to him that ho could
have so impressed Harrison with his qualifica-
tions as a lawyer that Harrison would like to
placo him in the cabinet and then give him
ono of tho best, most responsible and highly
honorable positions under tho government.
It may bo that he will not socuro tho posi-
tion on tho court of appeals, but it is under-
stood that ho is billeted for tho plucc.
Within the past week we havo had another
Jim Crow foreign policy parade. This was in
the demands on Chilo for explanation and
reparation for the attack of a mob 011 some
sailors belonging to our navy. It was rather
unfortunate for the administration that the
matter complained of occurred just at tho
time it did. Of course Harrison was very
auxious to make capital out of the aifair.
Doubtless he swelled up like a pouter pigeon,
a bird he resembles very much in shape, any-
how, when ho heard how a mob had beaten
up some American sailors. Doubtless he for-
got tho mob at New Orleans and the thousand
and ono mobs that have assaulted and murder-
ed that class of foreigners known as tho Chi-
nese, and thought only of the next republican
national convention and how he would trako
himself more solid with it by being very vig-
orous iu his demands in this littlo and gioatly
troubled reDublie.
But when his demands wcro stated there
was no sensation hero. Somehow, while every-
body recognized the undoubted ncccisity of
the demand and the justice of it, stll there
was a kind of sneer at tho pomposity atending
it, and a feoling that Chilo had muchto com-
plain of, as far its wo are concernri. Our
minister in Chile was an open advocao of the
cause of the little tyrant Balmaccta. Our
country had declined to bo even on .peaking
terms with tho party in that county which
was trying to preservo its constitutioi and in-
stitutions from the throtling of n nan who
aspired to a one-man power. So. if a mob
with little sense or judgment, and nobs never
havo either, attacked this country\ marines,
there ought to be somo little chaity shown
for its heat.
1 do not mean to say that we shoild not de-
mand satisfaction, and have it, bo, for the
outrage, but that our conduct Uwnrd this
littlo struggling country to freo itoolf from
Balmaceda naturally and justly <aused the
Chilean patriots to grow heated toward us
and wo ought not to blame them to> much for
it. When tho demands for explanttions wore
made, as I havo said, there wus nt sensation.
After the sneer and the feeling ofsympuUiy,
people began to wonder how the eections in
Ohio, New York, Massachusetts and Iowa wore
going.
It is remarkable that the sitiation in all
these states lias changed a half cbzen times
since tho campaigns were comuenecd. 1
mean by this that tho opinions hero havo
changed many times as to tho wa' the elec-
tions would go. One day it was a sure thing
th/it Ohio would go republican, Sew York
democratic. Massachusetts democratic and
Iowa republican. The next day i would bo
just the other way. Men who hae watched
elections for years from this poiit say they
never before knew of such confusim, of such
murkiness in regard to political miters. And
even when wo hear directly from tieso btates,
thero is
NO LIGHT THHOWn
on it, tho conclusion therefore beug that the
people there are in as much dmbt as the
people here.
I have received and soen a dczon letters
from democrats in Ohio in rogird to tho
situation thero. From them as n wholo no
one can draw any satisfactory (onclusion.
On ono thing they all agree and that is that
Campbell has made a remarkablocampaign,
ono which almost approaches thit most re-
markable of campaigns, the on# made by
Genornl, now Senator, Palmer A Illinois.
Up to his present canvass ho was n>t supposed
to have any great powers on the stump, and
the democrats were very much in trepidation,
like tho Israelites when David vent out to
throw rocks with Goliah.
McKinley had a national reputation ns a
profound man and a great speaker. Tho two
avo met. Tho result is this: The letters I
havo read stato that Campbell utterly routed
McKinley at Ada; that McKinley is tho best
stumper of tho times; that McKinley is
strongor on tho hustings than any man who
is yet spoken in Ohio.
McKinley has only ono speech. That ono ho
has yet spoken in Ohio.
McKinley has only on
delivers well, but no speaks it in tho same
tones, witli the same gesturos and never
changes a word or syllable. I received a letter
a few days ago from a newspaper man, work-
ing for the present in that stato, and he told
me that Foraker told him ho thankod God tho

election was so near at hnnd, for in two weeks
more McKinley would kill with fatigue tho
most loyal republicans m Ohio with that ono
speech which ho insisted on delivering every-
where. McKmley is one of those kind of
trotters which do well on a straight away track,
but if thero are any turns in it or if thero is
any confusion or noise in the grand stand ho
goes in tho air.
The opinion is that Campbell has had much
tho best of tho light and is much the stronger
man. But when tho democrats say this they
have about said all thev can say. Ike Hill,
one of tho most celebrated characters in Ohio,
for years assistant sorgeant-at-arms of the
house, is tho most enthusiastic kind of a demo-
crat. Ho is a member of the democratic ex-
ecutive cominitteo of that state, a line judge
of the political situation, and is given at times
to putting up his money on the triumph of his
party. He has boon sending back hero word
that all was well in Ohio. 1 dbubtod his
honesty in theso expressions of opinion, nnd
so I sent word to him that I had a small
amount of money which I would like to
doubio by putting it on Campbell and if ho
thought that gentleman could win, to lot mo
knowatonco. I knew ho would not let me
bet if ho had doubts, and my ruse was to get a
square opinion from him. 1 rocoived the fol-
lowing telegram:
"Iko Hill says don't bet any money." That
settled the matter with me. The democrats
complain now that they got no assistance
from the eastern Domocrats, and they had uot
enough money to puy even clerk hire at tho
committee rooms; that tho eastern democrats
want Campbell defeated through fear that ho
would be nominated for the presidency. In
fact they are grumbling at everything and
everybody. This does not look as if they
thought they w ere going to win.
At the samo time the republicans aro seared
to death. Tho latest con!ession by them is
that they aro afraid they can not carry Hamil-
ton county by ovorHOUO votes and that it looks
as if Campbell would pull through iu spite of
all they could do.
In >m w York tho democrats havo almost a
sure thing, at least that is the opinion here.
Fassett has made a fast campaign and made
very bad mistakes, lie has taken Tamuiany
for his watchword and hooks on that subject
on every occasion. In his last s{>eech ho de-
clared that Tammany had butchered Cleveland
iu 1888 and had slaughtered divers and sundry
democratic candidates, whoso names he gave.
Ho charges Tammany with being a
den op thieves
and, in fact, has worked himself into a perfect
fury over that society.
Tho only times the republicans ever win in
New York is where Tammany is not satisfied
with tho democratic candidate.
Fassett virtually admits this and yet in all
his canvass has dono nothing but to make
Tammany solid against him by his abuse of it.
The betting is now about 10 to 7 on Flower
and the odds tho democrats aro giving aro get-
ting still greater. Less is known hereabout
Iowa than about any of the other states now
excited by tho elections.
The general opinion, however, is that it will
go democratic.
Tho issue thero is prohibition alone and that
issue has been up before, but tho lines wero
never so sharply draw n as now. Therefore,
while Boies was elected by tho democrats at
tho last election and tlie prohibition question
had much to do with it, there is nothing posi-
tive about his showing the samo strength lie
did last time. There are a great many foreign
born citizens in Iowa who will vote tho demo-
cratic ticket because the democrats aro in
favor of the repeal of the prohibitum law. But
at the same tiuietheic are thousands of eastern
people in that state w ho ure ardent prohibi-
tionists. Somo of theso aro democrats who
supi>ortod Boies the last time, and when the
issue of prohibition was not the only issuo.
The question now is, How many of them
will abandon the democratic party when it de-
clares that it favors the repeal of the prohib-
itory laws and that when it, has the power it
intends to repeal them? The republicans here
arc despondent about Iowa and the democrats
jubilant. But that is ubout all that can bo
said.
In Massachusetts it is agreed the republi-
cans aro much more hopeful of success than
aro tho democrats. Tho former say they can
win at all times if they can get out the coun-
try voto, and that there will bo no troublo this
year in getting out all the republican voters.
The democrats seem to admit this, and the
betting uverages 0 to 4 on tho republican
candidate.
Thero is one inoro state that is not over-
looked hero and which lately attracts almost
as much attention as the states I havo men-
tioned. I allude to Pennsylvania. Ex-Con-
gressman Kerr, who is now tho chairman of
tho democratic executive committee, told mo
two months ago that the democrats stood a
splendid chance to win. Tho issuo tho demo-
crats are making is that the leaders of tho re-
publican party are corrupt and that it is time
the Pennsylvanians relieved tiiemselvoB of tho
Bardsleys, Quays and tho line and turn tho
state's affairs into cleaner hands.
Before the Pennsylvania senate a few days
ago tho attorney general, who was conducting
the examination in the investigation of the
Bardsley defalcation, called the state tr< as-
urer, Boyer, to the stand and asked him if he
had not made arrangements in 1H8!» with John
Bardsley, tho lato city treasurer of Philadel-
phia, whereby a certain sum of stuto money
w as to bo retained in the Keystone national
bank of Philadelphia, tho interest of which
was to bo paid to United States Senator M. S.
Quay. The question v. as objected to, and after
three hours' debate tho senate, bomg republi-
can, by resolution sustained tho objection.
Now, tho pretensions of the republican party
iu that state has been that it wanted tho
light turned on
in theso defalcations und yet as soon as an at-
tempt is made to do it, a republican senate in-
terferes.
Tho Pennsylvania democrats wero jubilant
over this mistake of tho republicans and de-
clare that it will cost tlioin the elections next
month. But then Pennsylvania is so over-
whelmingly republican that it requires almost
a miracle for the democrats to win and no
confidence is to bo placed in tho happening of
miracles. The democrats in all tho states ox-
eopt Now York, say if they loso they have
made a light that will aid them in 1*1*2, and
that lose or win, tho party is in better con-
dition tliau it has been for years, because the
campaigns have called the people's attention
to the tariff and that as they understand it,
tho ranks of tho party swell.

Berlin, Oct. 31.—[Copyright, 1891, by New
York Associated Press.]—Following up tho
recent rosenpt tho emperor has instructed tho
minister of justico to prepare a report ou tho
laws rotating to social evil und to formulate
measures for the extension of tho supervision
of prostitutes and of houses frequented by
them. In tho meantime tho polico aro going
beyond tho law in order to act in acoordanco
with tho rescript in clearing tho streets of
women and thoir "bullies," u genius known
in Franco as "Alphonse" and here as "Lud-
wig."
"Ludwigs" who aro accustomed to pervado
the Friodrioh strasse und Loyigerste strosso
und to hiiuut tho cut ranee to beer saloons and
concert halls, did an active midnight trade.
From tho Brandcrburg gate, along Unter Den
Linden, away boyond Schloss, rocautly
swarmed with these abandoned classes, but
they have now nearly vanished. A number
have i»een arrested and many others have
slunk to their dens to await the passing of tho
moral hurricane raised by tho emperor. Pas-
tor Sloeeker's memorable estimate, which
placed tho number of unfortunates at 50,000
and which was questioned when it was tirst
announced, is now considered too low. Add
to the number which Pastor Sloecker thought
to form the demi mondo of Berlin, the bauds
of "Ludwigs" and other retainers of vice,
numboring probably another 50,(XX), and thero
is seen a great fatalic army incessantly war-
ing upon society.
The criminal codo is insufficient for dealing
with them, for prescribing punishment for
those drawing subsistence from the prostitu-
tion of others. Tho law can be paniiyzed by
tho baldest proof that the accused exercisos
nominally or intermittently somo trade.
The press, in its criticism of tho imperial
edict, approves of tho spirit prompting it,
though at tho samo time questioning the wis-
dom of the emperor in U6ing unconstitutional
methods of interference. His advice that bar-
risters should refuso to
depend immoral cases
and his suggestion tluit the public be excluded
from court during tho trial of such cases are
especially assailed as distinct backward steps
in procedure, tending to imperil tho pure ad-
ministration of the law.
The various party organs, the Post, the
Freissinnige Zoitung, the Voiks Zeituug and
the liieiue Journal, while they concur iu ap-
proving the excellent intentions of tlie em-
peror protest against tho means adopted by
his majesty as attacking tho business of judi-
cial organization and trying to destroy tho
guarantees oi pure justice. The outcome of
agitation will, it is expected, be tho introduc-
tion in parliament of severely repressive meas-
ures, including dogging and extended terms
of imprisonment at hurd labor. Iu discussing
tlie question some papers venture to suggest
tlie resorting to a wholesale system of plate
regulation of vice. To this proposition, how-
over, tho emperor will never assent.
When tho reiclistag resumes its sittings on
November 17. this social purity bill, tho Aus-
trian and Italian commercial treaties, and tho
demand for new military credits will consti-
tute the principal business to be considered.
Military credit, which it is expected will
amount to 180,000,000 marks and will bo dis-
tributed over several years, will be asked, on
the ground that there is a necessity for reform
in tho urtiliery service and chaugus in tho
clothing outfit of the annv.
The question as to whether now cannon
should bo made of bronze or steel has been
decided in favor of btoel. Tho extended use
of guus of small caliber has also boen decided
upon. There will also bo presented to the
reiclistag a report advising the reinstatement
of tho navy and increasing tho number of
ships in German waters end on South Ameri-
can and Chinese stations.
The report that a treaty is being negotiated
with the United States involving reciprocity
in tho treatment of
american gha1n and pork
and Gorman sugar and other products, excites
the anger of the agrarian party. Their oppo-
sition to the commercial treaties will be ro-
douhlcd iu tho reiclistag if tlie treaties of Aus-
tria and America aro presented simultane-
ously. Tho contrists, who hold the balance of
the voting power, will bo with difficulty in-
duced to suoport tho government proposals
having this wide range.
The czar and his party proceeded to Russia
via Dirochau and Koenisberg. Tho railway
stations at Dantzic wero guarded by strong
forces of police, and a minute inspect .on was
made of tliv entire lino of railroad to Wirbul-
len.
Advices received here state that 360,(XX) Gor-
man colonists in ttio famine-stricken districts
of tho Volga, distributed among twenty-nino
parishes, aro perishing unaidod. The Ger-
man committee formed at Riga is
awaiting tho dilatory assent of the
St. Petersburg authorities to s< mi
reiicf to tho colonists undor trusty persons.
want of food tho Volga districts are being
ravaged by epidemics of scurvy and typhoid
fovor. The starving peasants attack houses
and all other buildings in which tliey are likoly
to find plunder in order to secure the means
of obtaining food. Tho authorities of tho
strickon localities haveondcuvorcd to suppress
all information, being unwilling that tho true

At a grand official dinner given this evon-

tions of American corn nnd bread, made of a
mixture of corn ana ryo Hour iu different pro-

Tho N«xt Popo.
Rome, Oct. 28.—A recent urticlo from the
pen of Signor Cesariue in ono of the principal
liberal organs has made some stir in ecclesi-
astical circles. Ho is a liberal writer of somo
note, and has made a spocial study of ecclesi-
astical questions.
Ho contends that Austria, in tho name of
the triplo alliance, ought to doiniuato the
future conclaves and procure the election of a
popo amenable to tho suggestions of a triple
alliance. But the pop t of interests to Ameri-
cans in the article is die vigorous opposition
to tho candidature of Cardinal Gibbons for
succession to tho papal chair.
Among other things Signor Cesarino de-
clares that under Cardinal Gibbons the church
will cease to be "Roman."
This attack oil Cardinal Gibbons is re-
garded at the Vatican as tlie expression of tho
fear of the liberals that Cardinal Gibbons
might be eloctod at tho next conclave. Tho
article will, however, have littlo effect, as tho
cardinal is very popular here, and especially
since the Knights of Labor incident has dis-
placed international rivalries and jealousies
which might prevent tho unanimous election
of un European l»oi»e, would not operate in
his case.
So his chance of electiou is considered good.
France and UumU.
Paris, Oct. 31.—Telegrams rocoived from
Brest describe in glowing and enthusiastic
terms tho imposing spectuclo which that har-
bor presented wlion tho French northern iron-
clad division, undor command of Admiral
Gervalc, left Brest for a cruise.
As tho French warships passed tho Russian
ironclads now visiting iu France, salutos were
fired from all tho ships and the shore batter-
ies. Tho y an Is of all the warships wore
manned, onsigns wero dipped and the French
and Russian anthems echoed from the quar-
terdecks of tho vossels of both tleets.
As Admiral Gerrais, on board tho French
flagship Marengo, passed tho Russian flag-
ship ho cried, "Vive la Russie." Admiral
Gervais' exclamation was greeted with en-
thusiastic cheering.
France ami American Pork.
Paris, Oct. 81.—'The vote of the scnato,
placing the duty on American i>ork at 4J5
francs per 200 pounds, removes that prohibi-
tion in principle even if it does not in fact.
Had tho senate voted a duty of 20 francs a
decree providing for the removal of the pro-
hibition would have been issued forthwith. It
is now impossible to fix the date when this dc-
cne wiU bo Issued. Toe general bolief is thai
the chamber of dcputici will accept the duly
fixed by tho senate without auy further dis-
cussion.

London, Oct. 81.—Dispatches received hero

ings and most of the smaller structures iu
these cities were thrown down.
A firo which started among the wrecked

It is estimated that the total numl>er of per-
