Below will be found th names of all the candidates fur state officers to be voted for in the several commonwealths which elect state officers No•vember 8. The abbreviations used are as follows: Rep., republican: dem., democratic pro., prohibitionist peo., people's, used uniformly for the new party, whether known as people's or independent: sil.. silver L. W. rep., lily white republican B. dem., boltingdemocrat: sil. dem., silver democrat C. dem., Cleveland democrat soe.. socialist. Two or mora party designations after the name of a candidate indicate a fusion. As will be observed, there is more fusion this year than usual, especially among- the democrats and people's party in several of the western states, in others, as in Texas and in Colorado, the democrats are indulging in family rows which lend decided zest to the campaign in those states, while in Nevada numbers of old republicans and democrats seem to have been absorbed into tho new silver party, which is at war with both the old party organizations. In several of the southern states the republicans have put out no tickets and will content themselves with supporting the nominees of the people's party, representing the opposition to the democracy. Altogether the situation is as complicated as anyone could wish—a fact that will add greatly to the interest in the election returns as they come in Tuesday evening, November 8

Raising

Milwaukee Kelief Committee Money for the Victims. Milwaukee Wis., Nov. i.—The work of arranging for the permanent relief of the tire sufferers is now well in hand. Committees of business men have been hard at work and there is no doubt that everything will be in excellent shape within a few days. It had been estimated that 8100,000 would be sufficient, and it now looks as if SI50,000 would be needed. But contributions are coming in fast, the great bulk being from residents of this city, although Chieagoans have been very liberal. The sum of had been pledged and paid in ato'clock Monday evening. No appeal for outside aid will be made, but contributions from outside sources will be gratefully received, and the character of the men composing the relief committees is ample guaranty that the money will be expended in a worthy manner.

At a meeting of the common council Monday afternoon the following communication was sent in by .Mayor Somers and unanimously adopted: "Milwaukee brushes the soot and cinders from her face to bow acknowledgment tc the country. Swept by a hurricane ol lire, with hundreds of homeless people te be cared for, the citizens of this municipality have had no idle moments since Friday night, and the work of succor,np the htlp loss has only just begun. Before the flameswere even under control came generous contributions from the citizens of other ciii(s, am. with them kindly words of comfort and pledge of further aid. To all of these the common council, in behalf of the inhabitants of Milwaukee, extends heartfelt thanks. "To the cities of Chicago, Kenosha, Hacine. Sliehoygan und Oshkesh a special tribute is due In the i.*.dst of a terrible windstorm, with dangerous fires blazing in their own territory, thu quickly responded to our appeal for help am sent engints and men to our assistance. "With work on every side, Milwaukee pauses an in.-1a111 to again express her deep sense ol gratitude to the generous-hearted people of this our country."

Oct. 111. Four hundred

A total property loss of S.l.tiOri.OOO, with insurance amounting to about £2.800.000.

Four persons killed aud eight or ten injured. Such, in brief, is the result of the fire which threatened for a time on Friday night to sweep Milwaukee off the face of the earth.

everything but the clothing they wore, still there is not as much gloom as might be expected. The general relief committee held a meeting and issued the following:

To the Public.

"Itis estimated that there will be needed the sum of S100.U00 to pioperly care for the people made homeless by Friday night's tire. At the meeting of citizens held in the chamber of commerce Saturday morning tho sun. of 5.000 was subscribed: and, while we appreciate the kindness of those outside who have already made generous subscriptions, we desire to say that we are confident the remaining amount required will tie subscribed by our citizens without it being necessary to appeal to the outside public. We confidently appeal to our citizens to raise the full amount needed." ..

Help for tlio Homeless

There is promise that those who were rendered homeless will not be permitted to suffer. Already SO-,!,90S has been raised, and all but about §10.000 came from this city. Many offers of assistance have been received and accepted, so that there is no doubt that a fund of 5?i00,000 will be available within a few days. Many of the people made homeless by the fire and now in actual want may soon be placed in comfortable circumstances. Their homes are gone, but their land is still there, and it is valuable land. Wealthy corporations, business men and speculators will be ready to buy these lots. The Third ward lies in the business center of the city and for many years business men have turned longing eyes toward it. But the occupants and owners of the tum-ble-down frame houses were hard to deal with. The3r were content to live in these houses and reflect that every year added a substantial value to their property. Men lived in houses that were not worth $50 on property that is worth £50,000 and that property is now even more valuable than it was before the lire. A new Third ward will spring up—a ward of business blocks and manufacturing establishments—and the very people who throng the relief headquarters for meal tickets may have their bank accounts and snug little brick residences. The Hansen Malt and Hop Company has already made arrangements to rebuild. It will put up two eight-story brick buildings and work will begin at once. .Many Who Need Help.

Of course all the residents of the burned district did not own their houses or properly in the ward. Fully one-half those burned out are left without, a cent, and the destruction of the business houses has thrown many men out of employment. To render aid to all these will be the work of the relief committee, which has taken hold in earnest. Investigating committees will be appointed and the many deserving will be cared l'or. \v

Crowds Visit the Kuins-

Tliousalids of people visited the burned district .Sunday. In the wholesale district massive, walls towered above the crowds, while broken, steaming bricks were piled high in the streets. The ruins of a big tobacco house furnished excitement and plunder. A pile of leaf-tobacco as big as a two-story building was within the shattered walls. It had all been nicely wet down and was ready to be rolled into cigars. Early in the morning men were marching down East Water street with enormous bundles of excellent leaf tobacco. A policeman finally woke up and put a stop to the festivities, but not until about three freight car loads of tobacco had been carried away.

ISoildiui Among the ICmbern Down in the yards of the Chicago" &' Northwestern railroad there was a curious scene. Long trains of wrecking ears, loaded with twisted iron and cracked ar trucks, were being hauled away, while all around were blazing heaps which the firemen had not liad

The greatest individual financial loss sustained by the great lire was that suffered by the Chicago A, Northwestern ltailroad Company, which ollicials and local agents ol' the road now estimate will foot up from Ssoo,000 to Sl.OOO.Ont) and will likely go nearer the latter than the loriner sum. The burned property includes I both of the great, freight houses, one. I for incoming and one for outgoing freight. Tli-.v were nearly 100 feet wide, covering the length of about three blocks. That devoted to incoming freight was thoroughly, filled with merchandise of all kinds and descriptions which had been unloaded during the day and was ready for delivery. That devoted to outgoing freight was but partially filled. As a rule an average of 125 cars are loaded there, daily with outgoing freight. The usual number of cars had been loaded during the day, aud many of Uiein were standing on the switches ready to be taken out during the night. As to the value of the freight in the houses and in cars ready to be taken out no accurate estimate can be made until the losses are adjusted between the company and the shippers. One car is sail! to have contained $H0,000 worth of holiday goods just shipped by a local firm, and it is expected that many others were filled with "aluable goods. There were burned in all on the. freight house tracks 10S loaded freight cars, perhaps three-fourths of them received and ready to unload. Their contents can only be ascertained by a complete cheeking up of the way bills. Many of them are said to have been loaded with valuable dry goods of various kinds which merchants were providing for their holiday trade, and on such the loss will be heavy. There were a good many cars loaded with grain of all kinds shipped to this market and a number of cars loaded with potatoes. The freight cars empty are estimated to be worth an average of 8500 each, but those values are small as compared to the contents of the ears.

There were also forty to fifty of the Northwestern's coal cars in the company's coal yards, all loaded, which were completely destroyed.

Tho aggregate of the insurance carried on the burned property, as compiled by the insurance men, exclusive of that carried by the Northwestern road, is 82,750,000, and is divided among about 160 companies, which, with one or two exceptions, the insurance men say, could easily stand ten times the loss sustained here without crippling them in the least. Tdere are one or two mutual companies which lose heavily and may be seriously affected. Unfortunately, one of these is most largely represented in the residence district burned, where, should it fail to pay in full the losses will fall upon a class of people who can least afford to stand them.

Following are the insurance companies which sustain the heaviest, losses: Hartford SrTo.OOO Home iO.iKK) Lancashire (England) 00,000 Milwaukee Mechanics' 75.000 Commonwealth (New York) Ta.o.io German-American (New York) 0O.OO.. Ohio Farmers" oo. London and Lancashire 5o,ioii Phoenix of Brooklyn rio.oon Commercial Union f.uouti Continental North Liritish MI.ODO Northwestern National fiO.uO.i Concordia 4U.0J0

The balance of the losses are shareu among the many companies in amounts ranging from S2.000 to 82S.000. Insurance men say that it is seldom that such g.-eat. losses by tire are so widely distributed aud as a rule carried by such strong companies Except the one or two instances named all losses will be paid in full, and promptly.

PENNSYLVANIA FOREST FIRES.

All K(Torts to Arrest the Flutues l*rove Fruitless. .-DIXG, l'a., Oct. 31. —Forest fires have been raging for a week among the hills of eastern Pennsylvania. They have done the greatest damage in Northumberland, Wyomingand Schuylkill counties. less in Herks and Chester, and have seriously interfered with railroad traffic. Near Milton and Sunburv the fires have crept close to the tracks in many places, and only by the most strenuous exertions have the workmen been able to arrest the flames. Along the Susquehanna river, near Lewisburg. the ridges of White Deer. Hrusli and Montour have burned furiously. In Luzerne county the mountains back of Plymouth and around Ifazelton, Sugar Notch, Ashley. Welsh 11 ill. Harvey's lake, Luzerne borough ami Shiekshinny have 'neen almost stripped of timber. Only blackened wastes rem:: n. The Wyoming valley is clouded over with thick, pitchy smoke. In Schr. ".kill county similar fires are burning over :tn ex tens ve territory, and are the most destructive ever known there. East of here the Chestnut hill ridge, which divides Uerks county from Chester, is aflame from Monocac.y to l'ottstown. Many valuable farm buildings have been reduced to ashes, besides no end of timber. The mountains surrounding Heading have been on fire for a week. At night they resemble volcanoes in action.

Over 5,000 visitors of note, exclusive of the delegates from the Protestant countries of Europe and the Protestant princes of llerniany, are being entertained in the little town.

The emperor arrived shortly before 9 o'clock. He was accompanied by the empress and their three sons, the duke of York. Prince (.lustaf, crown prince

The emperor wore, the uniform of an ofliccr of the garde du corps, lie walked tho entire distance from the station to the town hall, and as he moved through the. lines of troops they presented arms, while the crowd shouted and cheered enthusiastically.

The imperial party were received at the town hall by the burgomaster of Wittenberg, who, on behalf of the municipal authorities, read an address to the emperor. When this was finished aud the emperor had replied in a few words, thanking the town oflicials for their good wishes, the procession began to form.

Fortune! a Biff ProeoMsloo.

The making up of the line was watched by the members of the imperial party from the windows of the town hall. At the head of the procession, which formed in the market place, directly in front, of the town hall, were the highest Protestant clergy of the empire, including the president of the evangelical superior council and the general superintendent of the Lutheran church. riic.se were followed by a large number of clergymen of lesser note. Then came a long line of generals of the army in full uniform and other military officers, the ministers of state, representatives of the landtag and :nanv other oflicials from the civil, military and naval departments. Then came the Protestant princes of Oerinany with their retinues and •lie representatives of Protestant, foreign sovereigns. The emperor and his suite brought up the end of the procession under the escort of a squadron of cavalry. Included in the procession were the festival committee, various municipal and district oflicials and many religious societies.

The hue moved slowly across the market place in the direction of the church. Lines of troops guarded the route, and as soon as the order was given for the procession to move the church bells began to pe#il merril.-, while the strains of "Fine Feste Hurg" broke forth from the instruments of the trumpeters stationed iu the towers of the castle church. (Jnvp the Key to tlie Mmperor.

When Emperor William arrived at the door of the church Prof. Adler, the architect of the restor"d edili.'e, presented the key to lib. majc-ty, tviio. with a few gracious words, handed it to the president of llic church council. The latter in turn handed the key to l)r Quandt, the pastor of the church. saying •Hv •otnmand of the emperor, the n-uti-ctor md high architect of this hou^c of lod. and in virtue of mv otiice.
