Closing the Campaign.
CHAIRMAN JONES IS CER
TAIN BRYAN WILL BE
ELECTED.
Chicago, Nov 3.-Chairman Jones,
of the national Democratic committee,
furnished the Associated Press with
the following statement covering the
outlook from his standpoint :
"The fight is won. Bryan and
Stevenson ?ill he elected. The Demo?
cratic majority tn tho Electoral College
will be ample. The Democrats will
hold all the States they carried io 1896
with the possible exception of Wyo?
ming. We wiil also oarry New York,
New Jersey. Delaware, Maryland,
West Virginia, Kentucky, indiana,
Ohio and Illinois. The chairusan of
tbs State committee of California bas
just wired me that we.will carry that
State by 10,000 mijority. In a gen?
eral way I should say there would be
somewhat of a falling off of Bryan's
strength compared with 1896 wese of
the Mississippi and that east of the
Mississippi he will make overwhelming
gains The campaign bas bee*? spirit?
ed from the start. The Democrats
were somewhat handicapped for want
of fonds, while tbs Republicans, as
foor years ago, had more than they
could use. The Republicans endeavor
ed to intim?date laboring men and
alarm these men, but not with the
fierce oppression they brought to bear
io 1896.
"Of course the trusts, the great
aggregations of combined capital, the
seekers for franchises in Porto Rico
?od the Philippines, the promoters and
exploiters generally, hare spared no
effort and will sparc no effort to re-elect
McKinley. It is my firm belief, how
ever, that the electorate cannot be
debauched this year to a sufficient
extent to throttle the public will. The
. country is aroused as it has not been
sines the days preceding the civil war
The existence of the form of govern?
ment established by the fathers is at
stake. Whether the trusts el ail gov?
ern the country or the country regu?ate
the trusts mast be decided. It wiil be
found when the votes are counted that
the people have determined with
emphasis that the Republic must be
preserved, that the power of the trusts
canst be curbed, that the man is to be
considered before the dollar, and that
the voice o; thc pee pie cannot be sup?
pressed by attempted intimidation or
corruption.
"The States that will vote for Bryan
will show that the people have
confidence in bim from the Atlantic to
the Pacific and from the northernmost
to the southernmost boundaries of the
Republic.
"James K. Jones."
NEW Y?RK ESTIMATES
New York, Nov 3.-In the Hoe of
foreshadowing the result of next Tues
day's electioo, Joseph H Manley, vice
chairman of the Republican cational
committee, said tonight :
"The ride i* io our favor. McKinley
will get the larges: electoral vote ever
cast for any President. For the past
two week-5 the treed io our favor has
increased to sush ao exfea: that it has
mace success doubly assarred.
"No one who has studied the situa
lion, and has watched the developments
in the campaign oan fail to see how the
?ide has been setting towards McKio .
/Tice Chairman W. 3. Stone, of thc
Democratic national committee, and
in eharge of the eastern head?
quarters, dooli oed to give any
table tonight, saying that all tabulated
statements were issued ic Chicago. He
said :
"I feel confident, however, that
William J. Bryan will be elected Presi
dent of the United States. The senti?
ment in favor of Bryan has been inoreas
iog duriog tba past two weeks and is still
increasing. I base my statements on
reports from this State, New Jersey,
Maryland. West Virginia, Indiana and
ot'aer doubtful States. From sources of
information that are absolutely reliable
? feel confident io asserting that New
York State will go Democratic hy over
25.000 plurality,
' With the solid South, New York
and Indiana and Western States that
are sure for BryaB, he will be triumph*
aotiy elected It is useless to go into
the metter of figures, and it is not my
provinoe to make a tabulated statement.
I refrain from doing so. I am going
around a good deal amoog the people,
making speeches and bearing what is
talked of and there is unquestionably a
sentiment io favor of Bryan which will

Payne Claims Everything.
Chicago, November o -Henry C.
Payne, chairman of the executive
committee of the National Republi?
can committee, furnished the Asso?
ciated Press tonight with the follow?
I ing statement giving the outlook j
j Tuesday from the Republican stand - j
! point :
! "Oar latest advices from New York
are conclusive that the State will give
I a large majority for McKinley Local j
? conditions in Greater New York, j
weil known in the country will in ?
j crease Mr. Bryan's vote in that j
metropolis, but we believe that a j
majority for McKiuley in the State
is a most conservative estimate.
"Early in the campaign there may
have been some question as to the
result in Maryland. Mr Bryan's |
visit to that State proved injurious
to his cause, and there bas been in
the iast three weeks a great revival
of feeling among the sound money
Democrats, especially in Baltimore,
which presages a majority for Mc
Kinley of between 5,0<)0 and 10,000.
"As to Ohio, while there may be
I losses in Cuyahoga County and Cleve j
! land, and, perhaps, one or two of the
other large cities, this will more than
be made up io the rural districts of
tbe Slate We' predict witb the
greatest confidence a larger majority
in the State tbao was giveu io 1896
.'Undoubtedly Indiana has beeu
th6 battle ground in the States of the
Middle West Every vote has been
thoroughly contested The Republi?
cans will suffer losses in a few of the
larger cities, but there will be gains
among the farmers and the first vot?
ers of the young men. Developments
show that the young men of the
Slate are almost unanimously sup
porting McKinley and Roosevelt
It is understood in Indiana that the
majority for the Republican tioket
will be in excess of 20,000.
"In the Rocky Mountain States,
those that four years ago went almost
solidly for free silver, there bas been
a revolution in public sentiment, and
it will not be surprising if all or
nearly all of them reverse their posi?
tion of four years ago It is as cer
tain as anything can be that Kansas,
Wyoming, South Dakota and Wash
ington will be carried by the Repub?
licans by decisive majorities The
States of Nebraska, Utah and Nevada
are more likely to give their voles to
McKinley than to Bryan.
"The results of the campaign indi
cate clearly that the Administration
of President McKinley wjll be sus
tained by the people, and that he will
secure a larger ?vote than in 1896,
both of the popular vote and in the
Electoral College

doubt surrounding the casting of the

question whether the Democrats

Mosquitoes are charged with pro
j pagatiDg yellow fever and malaria
Investigation recently made failed io
find the supposed yellow fever bacil
?08. but has discovered much to sub?
stantiate the old theory of 20 years
ago that disease is spread by infected
mosquitoes The theory that these
insects convey maiaria has long since
been accepted as a fact, and the
doctors made good use of this truth
in their late investigation as to the
propagation of yellow fever in Cuba
These doctors, while in Cuba, made
some very interesting and rather dan?
gerous experiments They would in?
oculate mosquitoes and then allow
them to bite the doctors engaged in
the investigations. Dr Lazear in
the middle of September was bitten
on the back of the hand by a mos
quito whose variety was undeter?
mined. He deliberately let the insect
stay until it had satiated its hunger,
was taken down with the fever and
died within a fortnight Though
this was not one of the mosquitoes
under observation ii, of course, had
had opportunity enough to become
infected from the patients before bit?
ing Dr Lazear.
The medical board making these
investigations has give? out the fol?
lowing conclusions as the result of
its preliminary work :
'.The mosquito serves as the inter?
mediate host for the parasite of yel?
low fever, and it is highly probable
that the disease is only propagated I
through the bite of this insect."
Ministers are Trying to
Agree Upon Basis of
Settlement.
Washington, Nov 5.-Minister Con?
ger's last advices to the State depart?
ment indicate that satisfactory progress
is beiog made by the ministerial oorps
at Pekin toward the arrangement
of a basis upon which negotiations
shali be bad with the Chinese govern?
ments for a fioal settlement.. The
ministers have passed upon ?the ques?
tion of punishment, and also apon the
several other iraporeant points, which
are to figure in the negotiations. The
results have not been made public.
The Russian minister is understood to
be participating actively in the discus?
sions and the proceedings are harmo?
nious. So far these have been confin?
ed to the effort to secure a perfect
agreement by ali the ministers upon
the basis of negotiation, and up to to is
time no effort has been made to deal
directly with the Chinese government
It is tbe underetacding tbat when the
ministers themselves have agreed upon
their programme, there will be little
difficulty in securing ints acceptance by
the Chinese government, which is
indeed powerless to offer serious resis?
tente to the united demands of the
powers

TOWARD FREEDOM.
Convention to Form Cuba's
Constitution.
Habana, Nov 6.-Tbe Caban consti?
tutional convention met in tbe Marti
Theatre this afternoon at 2 o'clook.
Long before that hoar the theatre was
crowded. Maoy thousands were
unable to gain admittaoce, and the
streets in the neighborhood were block?
ed with people.
Gen Wood acid his staff, accompa?
nied by Gen Fitzhugh Lee and his
staff, received an ovation on entering,
the band playing "America."
Senor Cisneros and Geo Rivera es?
corted Gea Wood to the platform,and he
almost immediately opened the conven'
tion.
"As military governor of the' islaod
of Cuba and representiog the president
of the Uoited States,'' he said, "I oall
this convention to order. It will be
your duty first of ali to frame and
adopt a constitution for Cuba, and
I when this has been done, to -formulate
I what in year opinion ought to be the
1 relations between Cuba and the United
j States.
i "The constitution must be adequate
I to secure stable, orderly and free gov?
ernment When you have formulated
? the relations which, in your opinion,
! ought to esi?t between Cuba and the
! Uoited States, the government of the
United States will doubtless take such
j aetion on its part, as shall lead to a
final and authoritative agreement be
tween the people of the two countries
to the promotion of their oommon in?
terests
"AH friends of Cuba will follow
your deliberations with the deepest
interest, earnestly desiring that you
shall reach just conclusions that by the
dignity, individual self-restraint and
wise conservatism which shall character
ize your proceedings the capaoity of the
Cuban people for representative gov j
ernment may be signally illustrated.
"The fundamental distinction be?
tween true representative government
ana a dictatorship is that in the former
every representative of the people, in
whatever office, confines himself strict?
ly within the limits of his defined
powers Without such restraint there
oanoot be free constitutional govern
meot. Under the order pursuant, to
which you have been elected and con?
vened you have no duty and no
authority to fake part in the preseot I
government of the island. Your
powers are strictly limited by the terms
of that order."
The convention organized w'.th Senor
Lorente, justice of the Supreme court,
es president, and Senor Willuendo as
secretary. Tbe following oath was then
administered :
"We, delegates elected by the people
of Cuba to the national constitutional
convention, swear faithfully to fulfill
the duties o? our office We publicly
and solemnly renouoce allegiance to. OT
compact made with any State or nation,
whether o?de directly or indirectly,
swearing to the sovereignty of the free

swearing to respect !be solomon this j

All of the 31 delegates were present.

convention was "only a continuation of
the fight for independence.'7 moved tb3t

A SHERIFF'S DEATH
I
GOT McSweeoey has been. advised
of the death OD baturiay evening last
of Mr Joo B. Skinner, the sheriff of
Georgetown county. Upon thc death
of a sheriff the law provides that the
coroner shall take charge of the office
until the vacancy bas been filled by
appointaient. In this case the coroner
is a negro. Consequently the govern?
or will today appoint Mr Skinner's
successor, who will most likely be Mr
McKeithen, the efficient chief of police
of Georgetown.-The State.
i Yesterday Gov McSweeney, acting
upon recommendations received, ap
pointed Joseph J. MeKeitneu, the
preseut efficient chief of police of the
city of Georgetown, as sheriff of
j Georgetown county to succeed the late
sheriff The appointment is regarded
as a good one Mr MoKeithea's name
will appear on the Democratic tickets
io Georgetown county in the general
election today as the nominee of tho
Democratic party and he will doubt?
less be elected for the fall term.-The

j 1 Sherman and Hampton.
The late John Sherman's life and
character are being extensively re?
viewed. For the past five or ten
years, owing to the infirmities of old
age, he was classed as a back num?
ber. Mr. Sherman unquestionably
possessed many of the qualifications
of a statesman. Yet at times-often
-he stooped to the narrowness of a
Paddy from Cork. He could be as
vicious on occasions as a wolf, ex
pecting an invasion upon ber fold.
Again, there were manifestations of
views as broad as the nation-using
one of Mr. Bryan's late phrases.
It can be said in honor of his mem?
ory that as Mr. Sherman grew older
he learned to think a little better of
the south, aod though living to a ripe
old age, he did not live loug enough
to divest himself entirely ot his sec?
tional prejudices It was back in
the bloody shirt days of the 80's
when John Sherman, then foremost
among Republican statesmen in
flaunting the ugly rag, publicly
charged Wade Hampton with being
responsible for the Ku Klux in South
Carolina Immediately Hampton dis?
patched the Honorable John the fol?
lowing significant reply to the in?
famous charge :
Charlottesville, Va , Oct. 1
Hon. John Sherman
Sir : As you do not disclaim the
ianguage to which I have called your
attention, I have only to say that in
using it you uttered what you knew
to be absolutely false. My address
will be Columbia, S. C. I am your
obedient servant, Wade Hampton
It is not necessary to say that this
was Sherman's last attack on Wade
Hampton In less than five years
after this incident Senator Hampton
was one of the best loved men at
Washington from the south Hamp?
ton had much lo do with hushing the
bloody shirt raviogs of such men as

Scmethiog like united action in
regard to Ofaioese affairs now eeeme
possible. The British-German a?ree
ment seems to have brought about a
poee?bility of joint action by the powerc,
ot least BO far as it relates to the "open
door" and the territorial integrity of
China. Six powers, namely, Italy,
Austria, Japan, the Uoited States,
France and Russia, aocept the clauses
relative to those two questions, aod the
first three have given unconditional
assent to the whole of the agreement.
The last three powers withhold action
on the claose relating to future action
in ca6e of the seizure of territory by
aoy power. The powers seem deter?
mined to insist upon tho execution of
Prince Tuan, with whom, they demand,
ten of the other leading spirits in the
late disturbance must be put to death.
The powers have agreed upon the
indemnity which Cbioa will have to pay.
It will be a heavy one, amounting to
$200,000,000, the largest ever de
maod of any nation for a failure to ful?
fill its obligations under international
law. China will have to content itself
with the reflection that its territorial
integrity, so lately seriously threatened,
bas now some prospect of being pre?
served.-Bradstreet
