' 1 " SSSJJSJM Sherman. It is well known among public men in Ohio that Senator Sher inan has a warm feeling for Judge Xash, and, therefore, it is not strange that Republican papers today and heretofore have published telegrams from Mr. Sherman showing that feel ing. One printed today, addressed to Chairman Dick, of the Republican State Committee, says: "I feel the deepest solicitude for the election of Judge Xash. It will mean victory for sound money and prosperity." It is also well known that Mr. Sher man has not a cordial feeling for Pres ident McKinley and. Senator Hanua, and that he openly antagonizes the President's Philippine policy. Hence, the Democrtic papers have been pub lishing interviews and despatches from ex-Senator Sherman indicating hks po sition in 'that regard. One of the latter, addressed to the editor of an Ohio Democratic paper, contained the following: 4,I am strong- of the Philippine Islands. The seizure! of part of the Philippines against their! will is a gross violation of the laws of: nations. the alienation of Republicans 'who dis- S,derably Smith had tAVO battalions agree with the administration oh the,of tue -Seventh infantry, two. guns Philippine question will be more than nocrats wno believe inland a detachment of engineers and sig upuoiumj; me xovernmenr, ana wno opposes the silver policy, to which the Democrats are pledged.

The Democratic majority will be large, Last spring a formidable movement! was started for the nomination of a United Staees Senator bv the direct vote of the people. The convention was laigelv attended, and had the sup-! port of public opinion. The movement however, lost much of its force by the failure to make a nomination, and while Governor Tyler is the exponent of that idea, he was late in coming! Major.

Both Parties Confidently Nebraska. Omaha, Xeb., Xov. 0. Both sides closed a hot contest in Xebraska to night. In Omaha the fusion forces had all their leaders on the platform nntil midnight. W. J. Bryan delivered during the evening eight speeches f rom different halls where rallies were go ing on. The crowds were enormous and there was a great deal ot eutnusi-j asm. The Republican management has been conducting a careful cmvass in , every county in the State, and upon reports from many workers throu.nn out the State Chairman TetTt is making j h's calculations, lie says: 'Everything favors the Republican forces. I look for a substantial ma- jorlty. We have reports covering the entire State. The masses of the people ; are against any change and I confident ly believe that will be the verdict ren dered tomorrow." Democratic Chairman Dahlman to night says: "The fusion forces could not be in better shape than they are. Our latest reports confirm the report that the. fusiopists will have a majority of from j tenor twelve thousand. Of this three is absolutely no doubt. Populist State Chairman Edmiston is even more sanguine. He says: "Our reports are most favorable. Our men estimate that the State will go fusion from lo,000 to 20,00. Weaiher conditions certainly favor us. We hav everything our way, and the vigorous campaign that has been made by Mr. Bryan is certainly bearing fruit. We wiil have an early and heavy vote."

OUR NATIONAL FINANCES, Itlost Farorable Condition Shown by the TTfreasnrer's Report. Washington, Xov. Hon. Ellis 11 Roberts, the Treasurer of the United States, in his annual report to Secre tary Gage, sums up the operations of the last fiscal year by saying that "a notable activity was exhibited in all kinds of currency, with a marked in crease in the use of gold coin, and in a less degree of silver coin, while the prosperity of the country has at no time left any part of the government notes in the Treasury, above the de mands of daily business in its several ofHces." ; He says: "The effect of the new revenue laws is shown. In the receipts for the year, in 'which there was an increase over 1S98 of $5o5r3,419 from customs, and of $102,530,520 from internal revenue. The collections of internal revenue were larger than those for any pre vious year, with the exception only of 18(36, and the total ordinary receipts, which amounted to $515,000,020. were also the largest on record, with the same exception. The net ordinary ex penditures were a little over $005,000, OOOr ojn amount exceeded only twice in 1803. nd 1S04. There was a defi ciency of $89,111,590 in the ordinary revenues. "Inclusive of loans and , the issue of notes and certificates the total receipts on all 'accounts,, by warrants, were $1,039,451,340' and the total disburse ments $94G,222,'1.4S. With the addition of the 'proceeds of the new three per cent loan ; to ;the , ordinary revenues, there was a' fiscal' surplus of $100,791, 521 for the' year. ' The receipts from the loan' represented every part of the country." Of , the, total of (nearly $200,000,000, upwards of $125,000,000 came to the in Washington in the form- of checks' on Kinks in every par of the country. 'Xearly $29,000,000 was' paid in gold, upwards of $25,000 000 . in United States motes, and the rest in other kinds of money. '.'The increase in the receipts of gold froiutcustoms was not exceptional, for a like growth has taken place in al government transactions. In the fisca year -898 gold coin was taken for 10.03 per cent of the receipts, amounting to $2,076,736,587, and given for 1LS3 per cent of the disbursements, amounting to $2,195,973,013. In 1899. the receipts of 2393, 199, 747 showed 37.6 per cent, and the disbursements of '$2,371, 283.029. showed 35.37 per cent in gold coin. For the quarter ending Septem ber 30 gold formed 3S.5 per cent of the receipts and 35.2 per cent of tie disbursements. For twenty-one years there-has been a natural and healthy increase of gold in circulation. "While disbursements of gold have been so heavy, the holdings of the Treasury in coin and bullion have sur passed ail previous records, both m gross amount-ana m net excess over outstanding certificates. The former gross maximum is rounu in Septem ber, 1888, at $332,551,300. and the net maximum beofre 1898 was $218,818, 253 in March of the same year. On June 30, li98, the gross gold in the Treasury was $202,825,049, and the net $107,004,410. These figures rose to $353,002,380 gross and $254,328,821 net. September 30, 1899. These statistics make plain a tendency to an increase in the use of coin of all kinds. On October 1, 1899, the estimated amount of gold in circulation was 33.18 per cent of all the currency, and the gold in the Treasury was 00.44 per cent of the United States notes and Treasury notes outstanding. These resources, the Treasurer sug gests would make it. easy to establish permanent and adequate gold re serve. THORITE FOR ARTILLERY. New and Powerful Explosive for Use In the Philippines. wasnington, :ov. 0. American ar tillery in the Philippines is to be sup plied with a high explosive similar to tbat used by the British against the Boers in South Africa, against which General Joubert has entered protest. English lyddite is not near as pow erful as thorite, the new explosive just adopted by the bureau of ordnance. It was invented by Dr. Tuttle, of Seattle, and officers who possess the secret are on duty at Sandy Hook where manu facture of the compound will begin in a few days. Officers who have tested it say that t Is. far in advance of any explosive now in use in the world. It is abso- utely safe when handled outside of he gun, and is just as safe when in the charged shell. It is believed to have good keeping qualities, and tests conducted at Sandy Hook have shown to have remarkable power. In this respect it Is ahead of lyddite, and shells charged with thorite will burst into thousands of fragments and scatter over large areas. The yalue of such an explosive for use in the 'Philippine campaign is re cognized by the Secretary of War, and orders have been issued to hasten the manufacture of thorite as much as possible, so that a large quantity may be sent at once to General Otis for, use in the 3.2-inch shells of field guns. Sharkey Anxious to Fight. Xew York, 'Xov. 6. Sharkey's deter mination to fight Jeffries again has not diminished, -and today his manager posted $5,000 to bind a match.

London, Xov. 6 A dispatch to the Times from De Aar says that a dis patch rider from Kimberley states that the situation in that town is normal. Apparently no preparations for wrar had been made, but, on October 9, the De Beers Company produced from its mines a complete armament of guns and ammunition, not only for Kimber ley, but also for the towns of Laungs arid Vryburg. Xo news has been received either at the war office here or at Cape Town confirming the statement of trouble in "Basuto Land. It is known, how ever, that 30,000 of the younger Basu tos are armed and anxious to fight the Boers. The war ofiice admits that there t Lanf!feli BaLTof 7 reSaramSi the action Considerable surprise is experienced at the constant bringing up of new guns by the iBoers at Ladysmith. The Times,-reviewing recent events says: "Two conclusions are inevitable; one is that the policy in Xatal is dictated by political instead of military con siderations; the second is that the in telligence department .must have been unable to provide adequate informa tion It came as a surprise that the, Boers were privided with siege artil-'and Power Company aiyl a number of lery, probably 10 and 12-centimeter j northern gentlemen, who will in the pieces If this had been known there' future co-operate -with the latter com could have been no difficulty in pro-jpany In the .management of the street viding Ladysmith with an adequate ar mament." The Morning Post, which is a strong government and aristocratic organ, complains that the campaign has the: appearance of shaving been arranged at ten minutes notice. It points to the necessity for guns at Ladysmith and says that four were taken there from' Durban at the., last minute, getting through just before the Boers cut rail way communication at Colenso. Evacuation of Stormberg. East London, Cape Colony, Xov. 3. (Delayed in transmission). British troops are evacuating Stormberg Junc tion, Cape Colony, today. The naval brigade and Second battalion of the Berkshire regiment went out 'by train. The mounted company of Berkshires is marching southward, but the desti nation of the troops is not known.

There is no news from the scene of military operations in South Africa later than Friday's date. The dominating reature oi io situation then was the withdrawal of British garrisons southward in the face of threatened advance of the en emy. Colenso, Colesburg and Storm berg Junction had been evacuated in turn, ana ic was miu iuu me uum- baixlment of Rosemead ami Xaunpoort Junction was Imminent. To attempt to hold these places With the present available forces was evidently regard ed as courting annihilation. It has been understood that Storm- berer had been selected as a depot for accumulating stores for the third di vision. Such stores as had been gath ered have been removed sixty miles to the southward. v : Officials Surprised at Strength of Boers London. Xov.. 6. Lord Wolseley, commander-in-chief of the forces, in a sneech at the Authors' Club this eve ning, admitted that government offi cials were surprised at the strength of the Boers. He said: LC I 'We have found the enemy mucn more powerful and more numerous than anticipated." " oo.nomi WoIspIpv went on to assure his hearers that every war was a game . . J . i of ups ana aowns. o uuuiRusu m history was ever a march of triumph No. 135 from beginning to end. The disap pointments from which they were now suffering were useful in many ways, especially in bringing the nation closer! together. He declared his absolute confidence in the final outcome. , A dispatch to The Daily Xews from Estcourt,, Xatal, some distance south" of Colenso, on the road to Pieterma ritzburg, dated Xovember4 3, states, that the evacuation of Colenso' was ab-, solutely necessary because the Boers?', greatly outnumbered the British garri-' son at that place. To continue there meant to invite disaster. The Boers have been reinforced by a commando of Free State troops which brought the total strength of the enemy up to' 5,000. Colonel Cooper therefore de-" cided to withdraw his force. An ar mored train brought in the outposts. Boers made attack on Wylie Fort, which was held by the Dublin Fusi leers. They were repulsed by a volley which killed twelve men and twenty.-' horses. At daybreak Friday the Boers began shelling Colenso camp, obviously unaware of the fact that the place had been evacuated. It is -reported here that in the engagement at Tatham's farm, neaLadysmith, Xovember 2, the Boers lost 800 in killed, wounded and prisoners. Fight at Tatham's Farm. Estcourt, Xatal. Xov. 4.
