Payne, chairman of the executive committee of the National Republi? can committee, furnished the Asso oiated Press tonight with the follow? ing statement giving the outlook Tueaday from the Republican stand? point : "Our lateat advicea from New York are conclusive that the State will give a large majority for McKinley Local conditions in Greater New York, well known in the oountry will in creaae Mr. Bryan's vote in that metropolis, but we believe that a majority for McKinley in the State is a most conservative estimate "Early in the campaign there may have been some question as to the reault in Maryland. Mr Bryan's visit to that State proved injurious to bis cause, and there has been in the last three weeks a great revival of feeling among the aound money Democrats, especially in Baltimore, which preaages a majority for Mc Kinley of between 5,000 and 10,000. "As to Ohio, while there may be losaea in Ouyahoga County and Cleve land, and, perhaps, one or two of the other large cities, this wHl more than be made up Ui the rural districts of the State We predict with the greatest confidence a larger majority in the State tbao waa given in 1896 "Undoubtedly Indiana haa been the battle ground in the States of the Middle West Evety vote has been thoroughly contested The Republi? cans will suffer losses in a few of the larger cities, but there will be gains imong the farmera and the firat vot? ers of the young men. Developmenta ?how tiiat 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 Rooky Mountain States, those that four yeara ago went almost solidly for free silver, there has been i revolution in public sentiment, and It will not be surprising if all or nearly all of them reverse their posi lion of four yeara ago It is as cer Lain aa Anything can be that Kansas, Wyoming, South Dakota and Wash iogton will be carried by tbe Repub? licans by deciaive majorities The States of Nebraska, Utah and Nevada art more likely to give thefr votes to McKinley than to Bryan. "The results of the campaign lodi sate dearly that the Administration of President McKinley wjll be sos tained by tbe people, aod that he will lecure a larger*vote than in 1896, both of tbe popular vote aod in tbe Electoral College "Safely Republican : California, 9, Connecticut, 6.

Mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are charged with pro psgatiog yellow fever aod malaria Investigation recently made failed to find tbe supposed yellow fever bacil lrjs. bnt has discovered much to sub? stantiate tbe old theory of 20 years ago that disease is spread by infected mosquitoes Tbe theory that these insects convey malaria has long since been accepted as a fact, and the doctors made good use of this truth io their late investigation as to the propagation of yellow fever io Cuba These doctors, while in Cuba, made some very interesting and rather dan* gerous experiments They would in? oculate mosquitoes aod then allow them (o bite the doctors engaged in the investigations. Dr Lazear in the middle of September was bitten on the back of tbe band by a mos quito whose variety was undeter? mined. He deliberately let tbe insect stay until it hsd satiated its hunger, waa taken down with tbe fever and died within a fortoight Though thia was not one of the mosquitoes under observation it, of course, bsd hsd opportunity enough to become Infected from tbe patients before bit? ing Dr Lazear. The medical board making these investigations bss giveto out the fol? lowing conclusions as the result of its preliminary work: "The mosquito serves as the inter? mediate host for tbe parasite of yel? low fever, aod it is highly probable tbat the disease is only propagated through the bite of thia insect."

Upon tbo death of a sheriff the law provides tbat tbe coroner shall take charge of tbe offioe until tbe vacancy has beeo tilled by appointment. In this ease tbe coroner is a negro.

The late Johu Sherman's life and character are being extensively re? viewed. For the past five or teu years, owing to the infirmities of old age, be was classed as a back num? ber. Mr. Shermau unquestionably possessed many of tbe 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 her fold. Again, there were manifestations of viows as broad as the nation?using one of Mr. Bryan's late phrases. It can be said in honor of his mem? ory tbat as Mr Sherman grew older he learned to think a little better of the south, and though living to a ripe old age, he did not live loug enough to divest himself entirely ot his sec tfooai prejudices It was back in tbe bloody shirt days ot tbe 80's when John Sherman, then foremost among Republican statesmen in flaunting the ugly rag, publicly charged Wade Hampton with being responsible tor tbe Ku Klux in South Carolina Immediately Hampton dis? patched the Honorable John the fol? lowing significant reply to the in? famous charge i Charlottesville, Va , Oct. 1 Hon. John Sherman Sir: As you do not disclaim the language 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 beet loved men at Washington from the south Hamp? ton had much to do with hushing; the bloody ehirt raviogs of such men as Johu Sherman ?Anderson Daily Mail. Phosphate Companies Shut Down at Beaufort. Charleston. S C , Nov 5 ?In con 1 sequence of the decline in price of | phosphate rock and difficulty in obtaining ocean transportation two big mining companies near Beaofort have closed down for a time and another is working only half of its plant The Coosaw company has over .00, 000 tons of rock ready for shipment and ia working half of its dredges, having no market as yat for its pro duct.

Baltimore, Nov 5 ? Mra Mary Ann Jackson, widow of the Confederate general, "Stonewall Jackson," who has been at the Church Home and Infirmarv on North Broadway and Fairmount avenue for more tbsu a month, left today for her home in Charlotte, N. C, in company with a friend Mrs Jack won came to Baltimore for treatment for neuralgia, from which she bad suffered greatly She con suited Dr Louis DeLaue Tiffany, who advised a surgical operatiou The operation was performed by Dr Tiff' any three weeks ago today with complete success and Mrs Jackson has not suffered a moment's pain since She is now entirely restored to health ? ? ? Cberaw, Nov 5 ?Charles B Col lins, a white man well known in this county, residing in the Ausley neigh borhood, committed suicide yester day morning at his home by shooting himseif in the temple. Deceased at timoH drank to excess and had threat ened to end his existence before It ie thought by some from the range of the bullet that he did not intend the fatal shot on thin occaHion, but was "bluffing," and the pistol wan fired unintentionally on hie part The in quest was held today by Coroner Woodward, aenieted by county phy siciau, Dr Teal Something like rjoited action in egard to Chinese affaire now seems ossible. The Britisb-Germao agree meet seems to have brought abuut a oseibility of join; aotioo by the power:, at least so far as it relates to the "opuo oor" and the territorial iotegrity of Cht?a Six powers, namely, Italy, Austria, Japan, the Uoited States, France and Russia, aooept tbe clauses relative to those two questions, and tbe first three have giveo unconditional assent to tbe whole of tbe agreement. Tbe last three powers withhold action on tbe clause relating to future action in oase of 'be seizure of territory by any power. Tbe powers seem deter? mined to iosist upon tbo execution of Prince Toao, with whom, tbey demand, ten of tbe other leadiog spirits in the late disturbance must be put to oeatb. Tbe powers have agreed upon tbe indemnity which Cuioa will have to pay. It will be a heavy one, amoootiog to $200,000,000, the largest ever ac mand of aoy nation for a failure to ful? fill its obligations under international law. China will have to oooteot iteelf with the reflection that its territorial integrity, so lately seriously threatened, has now some prospect of being pre? served.?Bradstreet State of South Carolina, COUNTY OF SUMTER.
