Lqkdos, Oct 26; The Parnell
Commission again listened to Attor
ney General Webster's; presentation
of the limes' case toflayiTbe speaker
eontinaed to recite a catalogue of
Outrage supposed to be traceable to
members ot tbe league, and then
quoted from speechei o Mr. Dillon
and other Parnellite to, prore their
support of the plan oi campaign. Be
dealt! in tueceesion with, a series of
atteranoea made by Messrs. William
0'BrjeD,.Cox, Eennej aid Matthews
to sho,w their sympaiy With the out
rage, and he intimated his intention
to deal al length wilt yiolent orations
of League members made in County
Clare duriDg theyearl 1885, 1886 and
18874 X . v
At thia Presiding Justice Hannen's
patience seemed to be exbausted, and
leaning forward he asked the Attor
ney General if he, did not think he
had already given sufijcient indication
of the line of argument be intended
te adopt. i
Sir; Chwles Russell, counsel for
ParneU, suggested tbat the Attorney
General might hand;!; bim copies of
the cpeeches he meant to quote from
and thus tare time. .
The Attorney General replied that
he must deal with all the Irish coun
ties he had picked oat as affording
the mpst itriking proof of the charges.
He quite understood Justice Hannen's
hint and ( was desirous of adopting
any practical suggestion which would
enable him to ihortenhia remarks.
Losdos, Oct 26.-iThe Attorney
General concluded hs remarks by
s ating that men who had kctually
participated in the outrages would
be called as witnesses and they would
tell'what moneys had ! beejn paid to
them and bow the crimes they were
hired : to : commit were t arranged.
Court then adjourned Until Tuesday.
The Times has serf ed subpoenas
upon Frank Hugh, O'Donnell and
bis solicitor, requiring ;tbem to pro
duce certain documents bf fore the
Parnell Commission. J It has also
subpoenaed Henry Oampbell, Par
nell s private secret art, to produce
letters; which he wrote for Parnell
to Patrick Egan and others.

The moat telling work f done for
Cleyeland in Connecticut i must be
credited to the tariff reformers, the
independents at New Baven having
labored to good result, and they have
recently called in speakers from New
York and Massachusetts. George M.
Stearns has had great;:' audiences in
his tour of the Connecticut cities and
larger owta -in A nd. political meet
ings cf all kinds . are well : attenaa
there i elsewhere this) year while
there are Democrats jlnd tariff re
formers wbo predict Clereland's suc
cess in that State It U very evident
that the possibility of fbis has decid
edly increased of late.blit the Repub
licans will do all they dn t hold the
State, i Tbe issue inf Connecticut,
therefore, will be uncertain jun til the
votes are ooontea. m -
The' best political jidgef on the
spot agree, that all doubt af to New
Jersey:: has been removed, tod that
Cleveland; wuf seourefits electoral
vote. !' I
It will have to be aamitfed, also,
that the Democratic chances in In
diana appear to be the? best, despite
tte ' khm ' is tt hne the ile
publican candidate. There sre noevi
dences that Gen. Harrison ifr gaining
votes front the other side, and the op
position of the labor interest does not
appear to abate. f
Hew York is again) tbe pivotal
State. Tbe Republicans could loce
New York and win wita Indiana and
either j Connecticut or r:Kew:: Jersey;
bat to tbe Democracy Cleveland's
own State is essential as the outlook
now is. The Democrats! can lose Oon
neotiont and win with New York, New
Jeraev and Indiana. Iln 1884 Mr.
Cleveland received 219 electoral votes
and Mr. Blaine 182. So good an ob
server a E. Q. Dunnell, Washington
correspondent of the": Ne York
Times, who has made a toot of the
West,; thinks there is; rather more
than an even chance that Cleveland
will secure the 13 electoral yotes of
Michigan.. That may be regarded as
a picturesque poaaibility only.
Of the probabuities in tne empire
State it can fairly be said, after much
study bf the situation base4 on ex
pert information received from many
sources, that the chances of Cleve
land's success there are. brighter now
than they appeared to be at this stage
of the canvass four velars ago. It
looks as if the currents of the cam
paign, their magnitude and course,
were becoming evident enough so
that their beanncrs and influence
might be approximately determined.
Of course the first thing to be settled
is whether tbe -'tariff 'scare,;' so re
lied upon by the Republicans, is go
incr to demoralize the vote that aaa
ally goes with' the Democrstlc party
ana swing 11 to xiarrisqn. inis
is what Republican :;i newspapers
advance as' their chief ground
of hope, but what dos careful

F. Spinney, who does State politics
from Albany for the Ne Yof k Times,
is acknowledged to be a keen and
competent political correspondent
He has been circulating throughout
the State without discovering a tariff
stampede. A patient i and minute
search in the Mohawk Jalley, which
is a nest of manufacturing! villages,
disclosed changes both ways, but tbe
balance was in favor e-f (Jleveland,

Democrats are not in good shape,
and there is likely to be a falling. off
of Cleveland's vote in such; but on
the other hand Albany county, which
gave Cleveland 600 majority in '8 is
likely to yield mm this year perhaps'
2,000. In Monroe county Rspubli
can differences are expected to load
to a reduction of Harrison's majority.
Erie county is not likely to go back
on Cleveland as is predicted. ' All
these things make it look as if th&re
was no "revolution in the air.

an apparently substantial basis of
comparison. The many thousand
Irish votes that Blaine intrigued . to
e
et four years ago will go for CleVe-
and rather than Harrison this year.
This is another element in fixing mat
ters on the old lines. It will be well
to reckon it the fact, also, that lor
tbe last dozen! years Republican pre
dictions in September and October
brought them to the Harlem rier
with from 60,000 to 100,000 majority;
but on the day after election those
majorities have uniformly shrunk
about 50 per cent- Blaine's majority
down to the New York city line if as
62,000. Is Harrison stronger than
the old leader in the interior
of New York State! If he is as strong,
the increase in population might g've
the Republicans a slight increased ma
jority this year. Confident Republi
cans say Harrison is to reach the
metropolis with 70,000 lead.
This is a hopeful estimate, bat if it
should prove 1 approximately correct,
what then? The reliance of the Dem
ocrats would be on overcoming this
majority in the counties of New York;
Kings, Queens, Suffolk and Rich
mond. New York will poll 250,600
votes, and Blaine had 90,000 there
It does not seem likely that General
Harrison can exceed that number,, or
even equal it. The independents will
vote solidly for Cleveland. Tbe Ir'eh
defection, which so nearly counter
balanced the Mugwump vote four
years ago, does not exist this year.
Candid observers say that Cleveland's
majority in tbe city will be rising of
60,000 votes. Hinge county gfive
him 13,000 : majority in '84, and this
lead is reckoned as more likely to. be
from 15,000 to 17,000 this year:
Qaeens and Richmond give the Dem
ocrats 2,000 majority each, and Suf
folk is Republican by about 500. -So
that, if the Republicans should reach
Harlem river with 70,000 majority,
bevond that point it is estimated., by
come of the ablest judges of political
events on the spot, there will be
found Democratic majorities of ?8,
500, an offset that would give Cleve
land a plurality in the entire State of
8,600.

OlTtt Trouble an the Maxima Frontier.
Br Telf graph to the News and Observer.
Chicago, III , Oct. 26. 1 .1 dispatch
.from El 1'aso, Texas, says the task of
enforcing the (.binese exclusion set
proves to be no easy one. along the
Mexican frontier. '
El Paso, Texas, and Paso del Norte,
Mexico, are separated only by the
Rio Grande, which is at present prao
tically dry, and ford able for ten
months in. the year. There are two
or three hundred Chinamen in tho
passed freely from one to the other.
Collector Magoffin is enforcing the
laws as fully as his email force of in
spectors will permit, but it is an easy
matter for the Chinese to violate them.
Moreover, Chinamen can easily come
up the Mexican Central Railroad, or
across the country from (luaymas, or
other Pacific points, and j slip across
the line to the United States.
" The Trouble la the Blaine Famllj-.
A ditpatch from Augusta, Me , j
says: "James G. B?aine Jr , is at
his father's house here,! financially
brake. This is said to be one of the
reasons why he does not return to his
wife in New York. Blaine, Sr., re
fuses to give his son any money, and
the letter's New York creditors aie
too rapaoious for the young man to
face at present."
A correspondent of the New York
Star writes to that paper: "I have
known Mrs. Blaine, Jr's , family for
wenty years back, and know that Mr.
Nevinc, as well as his wife, are true
Christians, and that I cannot say of
the Sr. Blaines. I bad business at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel! one night,
and the ' Plumed Knight was also
there, talking to a friend in the lobby,
and I overheard bim say (this was
before Blaine, Jr , was married) that
he (meaning his son) married
against nis wishes he would soon find
way for a separation ior divorce.
Now that the trouble has been pub
licly made known I recall the speech
of that man on that evening, and my
sincere wish is that young Mrs. Blaine
will beat the Blaines and win htr
suit. Another, wish is that young
Blaine will come to the front and
stand by bis young wife as she has
stood by bim, and not heed the fool-
vjnhness of his honored parents. He
lias reached an age when he ought to
do and think for himself. Knowing
both parties, the Blaines, Sr., and
the Nevinses, I deem it my duty to
say this."
Mr. Walker Blaine, in j speaking ot
tbe troubles of young James G.
Blaine, Jr., said: "These matters
annoy us very much. ; l'eople eo
magnify minor details and make a
trifling matter, and one ; of no great
public interest, a very large anair. 1
think the domestic relations of my
brother have never been 'satisfactory,
bnt a great many stories have been
circulated which are not true. When
the matter gets into the court a, if it
does, then the true details will be
known. : The whole thirg brings
much humiliation to us.'!

Los Asgkleb, Cal., Oct. 25, 1888.
To the Editor of the Herald:
lour dispatch received. The Po
mona man who wrote to tbe British
Minister, Sackville-West, asking the
minister's opinion how the writer
should vote for President, is a re
sponsible Republican citizen for whom
vouch, but he requests that
his name be withheld for the present.
The Minister's letter is unquestiona
bly a genuine autograph letter, sig
nature, coat of arms and all. The
writer's object was clearly to elicit
the real opinions of British Ministers
as to the two great political parties
in their relation to England, and also
to get the Minister s private advice
to naturalized Englishmen in doubt
about how they should vote.

A atemarhab'e Will Contest,
Twelve years ago Charles H. Baker
was known as the richest man in Win
ston county, Ala. In 1878 he went
to Memphis, Tenn , on business, and
when the yellow fever broke out there
his namo appeared in the list of new
cases, and soon afterward, the family
hear i that he was dead, i Baker was
twice married, and the will which his
widow filed made no mention of the
three children by the first wife. The
latter contested the will, and an expen
sive litigation followed, which finally
resulted in favor of the widow. An in
junction restraining Mtls Baker from
taking charge of the p' I'crty fol
lowed, and the day after u injunc
tion was served Baker himself turned
up and claimed his property. The
yellow fever had deprived bim of his
reason, and he had drifted here and
there as a common tramp, finally
turning up at Buenos Ayree, rgen
tine Republic, where he wax taken to
a hospital and ultimately cured,
lie then worked his way as
a common sailor to New Or
leans, and, after, many hn.dshipe,
reached home only to hud a large
share of bis property wasted in litiga

By Telsuiaph to the News and Observer.
New York, Oct. 26 Considerable
alarm has been occasioned over the
death in St. John's Hospital, in
Brooklyn, of Cspt John Gillard, of
the steamer Carenz, of yellow fever.
The health authorities, however, as
sert that there is no cause for fear,
as ever j thing possible to pre
vent the spread of the disease has
been done. The steamer' Carens
was immediately returned to thelower
quarantine, wlere she will be thor
oughly fumigated. A portion of her
cargo, which was discharged at Mar
tin's stores, was also disinfeeted.
Some trouble was experienced in
finding out the coachman who drove
the sick captain to the hospital and
not until after several other persona
had hired the hsok could he be found.
The vehicle was thoroughly disin
fected and the officers are now at
work tryiDg' to locate the several pas
sengers. ,
The body of the captain, after be
ing enclosed in an air-tight casket,
was taken to Evergreen Cemetery for
interment. Portions of the body had
been retained by the doctors and will
be subjected to microscopic examina
tion for scientific purposes in more
fully determining the diagnosis of the
case. Part of tbe ship's cargo which
was shipped east will be looked for
by the health authorities, they having
been informed of the matter, so that
proper precautions can be taken.
