NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-The Aew York World this morning publishes the fol lowing story: David A.

Dishler's employer is Chairman Charles W. Hackett, of "blocks-of-one" and "confidential circu lar fame." Dishler and Hackett have been pals in Utica . politics for years, When Dishler concocted and carried tc a successful issue the daring scheme tc literate "Tom" O'Brien, the prln.-e ol bunco men, who was convicted of bunco. Ing Farmer Post out of $10,000 last April, the chairman oi the llepublican campaign committee was separated from him for a time. Dishler was indicted in Albany County and Oneida County and he has been a fugitive from justice eversince. That they got together aftei a very short while is shown by a lettei which the World has photographed an reproduces in fac simile to-day. Thii letter was sent to Jos Frick, a saloor keeper in Utica, who has been an asso ciate and second of Dishler for man, ears.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Indications point to the balance of power in the United States Senate being in the hands of the Populist's or Farmers' Alliance men. The Democrats appear to have gained control of the State Legislature on joint ballot in four States whi6h are now represented by Republicans in the upper house, and the Populist's claim to be able to elect three new Senators. This will change the standing of the different parties in the Senate from 47 Itepublicans, 36 Democrats and 2 Far mers' Alliance, to 43 Democrat, 40 Re publIcans and 5 Farmers' Alliance. Complete returns on the vote for mem bers of the Legislature of several of the Northwestern States are not to be had, but the Farmers' Alliance appear to have sufficient number of these States to give them the balance of power. At midnight, report from yesterday's Congressional elections, were still far from complete. Statements of the po litical divisions of the membership of the Senate and House of Repres(nta tives in the Fifty-third Congress neces sarily contain elements of uncertainty that cannot be avoided, but the reports that have been received do not make anj material changes in the tables here tofore sent out by the 'nited 1'ress. The Democrat claim that they have carried the Wyoming Legislature. and theretore will zecure a successor to Senator Wtrren, whose term expires larch 4 h t.ext. This would give them 12 Senators, and Almost certaluly give to the 'Ihird party Senators the control of that body. Enthusiastic Democrats, however, clain that their part y will se cure enough Senators from otber West ern States to give them control of the upper branch ot Congress after March 4. But i substantial basis for that claim cannot be seen in the rerorts so far received. A number of changes in the compo sition of State delegations in the next louse of llepresentatives as heretofore given have been made necessary by re ports received tonight. The net re - sults, however, do not vary materially r from the figures given last night and today. In th, Sixteenth New York district, -rancia Mervin (Itep.), seems to have defeat,d Henry M.

WASiIINUTON, Nov. 9.--Secretary of e State Foster attributes the Republican ii defeat to the tariff issue. The party, ' he says, challenged the judgment of P the countr y on the McKinley bill andl b the verdict must be acceptedi as the fl will of the people that a different poll- c cy must be adopted. Other questions n entered somewhat into the contest, but a to no such extent as to materially af- ti foot the result. Nor would it have ci been different if any other candidates b bad been selected or had other leadere a managed the campaign. No Adminis- a tration ever went before the country " with a cleaner record. It is the policy, I not the personal, of the Administra-' y tion that has been condemned. In this n view of the matter the Secretary was ti gatified to hear that Cleveland was ' flkely to be sustained by a party major-. b ity in both branches of Congress, so it that the new pollcy may have a full and far.trial. ____ d THE 'VOTE IN South Carolina was c very light, but Cleveland and Tilman t: got nearly all the votes that were cast. ii Oleveland Conlgratutated.

The ImMigrat ion Problem. 3ral Some very shrewJ suggistions in re -or- gard to a question on which the whole country it at present. intent may ie o found In the following extrAct from an g of article on immigration in the Chautau not quan. As intimated by the writer, our of boasted respectability of labor is at 1 , stake, and the longer the tide of unre IND stricted immigration is allowed to flow ,cet in upon us the more insecure will be come the foundations of our free Amer t is ican institutions: "Granting that i t migration as now conducted Is not ad re- vantageous to our side, the question may be asked: Does this country per ud. form the Samaritan act in receiving it? Suppose we drain off every festered sIe spi-t of overpopulation in Europe for tnt. one generation, conditions remaining ese the same there, as they have for cen turics, would not a single generation uld fill u the vacanciel, and wretchednesi to survIve as triumphant as ever? So I of long as we perform our present office will the demand for a different stake of in- affairs be likely to be made of those Lt European powers, partially responsible for popular misery ? It wouk seem a (18'-surer benevolence for this country to lY, attempt to help others by the power of ,he example. Among our bUsted tenets are those asserting the tespectability im- of labor and the governing right of the ate common people. Ilow long can we or- maintain such claims if c, ntinually imi Ie, porting elements fatal to them ? It is ay alicat a question whether we dare m,t further endanger our institutions by lofty indiffereice regarding the mein bers of our national household. Our government among all is unique. It is ' to be fervently hop9:I that whettier we i a reatrict the immigration of classes now 4c admitted or confine ourselves to per fecting the execution of existing re Ide strictions, we shall act in such a way -as to maintain our proud place as an tly example of free government by intelli A).' gent common people." ids 4 CICAOO is to have the largest and r most powerful telescope in the world. ie It is the gift of Charhs T.
