W ASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—The control of tho United States Senate will be determined very largely by the result of the elections next Tuesday, when twenty-three States elect legislatures which will In turn elect tanators. The present party strength In the Senate is as follows: Republicans, 43; Democrats. 34: Populists, 6; Silver Republicans, 6. This gives a majority to no one party, and it has proved a fruitful source of doubt In legislation influenced by party lines. The t< rms of thirty of the present senators are about to expire, and in most of these cases th* legislatures chosen next Tuesday will elect successors. In seven cases, however, the legislatures already have been chosen and senators elected, viz.: Aldrich, of Rhode Isiand; Daniel, of Virginia; MeComae, to succeed Gorman, in Maryland: Hanna, of Ohio; Money, of Mississippi: Proctor, of Vermont, and the Legislature of Maine, which has been elected, but has not yet chosen a senator. In Oregon, also, Simon has been elected to fill a vacancy. These changes, already made, give a net gain of two in the Republican vote, McComas, of Maryland, and Simon, of Oregon. The remaining twenty-three senators are yet to he. chosen. Those who are about to t tire are: Allen. Populist, of Nebraska; Hate, Democrat, of Tennesee; Burrows, Republican, of Michigan; Cannon, Silver Republican. of I'tah; Clark, Republican, of Wyoming; Cockrell, Democrat, of Missouri; Davis, Republican, of Minnesota; Faulkner, Democrat, of West Virginia; Gray. Democrat, of Delaware: Hawley, Republican. of Connecticut; Dodge, Republican, of Massachusetts; Mantle. Silver Republican, of Montana; Mills, Democrat, of Texas; Mitchell, Democrat, of Wisconsin; Murphy, Democrat, of New York; Pasco, Democrat, of Florida; Quay, Republican, of Pennsylvania; Roach. Democrat of North Dakota; Smith. Democrat, of New' Jersey; Stew'art, Sliver Republican, of Neveda; Turple, Democrat, of Indiana: White, Democrat, of California, and Wilson, Republican, of Washington. In several of these cases the election of the present incumbents is expected, but in quite a large, number of th* m much doubt exists. The Republican managers are placing reliance on the fact that they need only a few votes to assure them a clear majority, while the Democrats, Populists and Silver Republicans would have to carry most all of the doubtful legislators In order to prevent a Republican majority. The States considered most in doubt are West Virginia, New York, Pennsylvania, North Dakota, New Jersey, Indiana, California, Washington and Nebraska, contlicting claims being made in each case. Among Senate officials the opinion prevails that the anomalous condition now prevailing, of a Senate without a majority, will end with the coming election, anu that the legislatures then chosen will give assurance of majority rule In the upper branch of Congress after March 4 next.

CLAIMS 1111,000 PLURALITY. IXiinnte of Republican Chairman El kins, of PeuiiMylvanin. PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 6.-Republican State Chairman Elkins has prepared an estimate by counties giving his views of the result of next Tuesday’s vote for Governor. He claims that the Republican candidate, ■William A. Stone, will be elected by a plurality of 131,000 over George A. Jenks, Democrat, in a total estimated vote of 950,000. To Rev. Dr. Silas C. Swallow, the "honest government’’ candidate, he allows a total of 149,760 votes, claiming that Swallow, who carried ten counties in the contest for state treasurer last year, will not have a plurality In any county. Mr. Elkins concedes that Jenks will carry twenty of the sixty-seven counties, and acknowledges a stand-off in three others. He claims that the next Legislature will be largely Republican in both branches, anti predicts the failure of the fusion movement. Mr. Elkins compiled Ills figures from estimates given him by the chairmen of the various county committees and members of the state committee in their respective counties. He believes that in Philadelphia county Stone will receive 110.000 votes, against 45.000 for Jenks and 40.000 for Swallow. and In Allegheny county. 43,000. against 17,000 and 8,000 for the other two candidates, respectively. Mr. Elkins says that the business men and laboring men of the State "hesitate to cast a ballot that will renew the agitation for free trade, free silver and Bryan Um.” Continuing, he says: "If the great States of New York. New Jersey ana Pennsylvania should elect Democratic Governors this year, the result would certainly be followed by the election of a Democratic President in 1900.” On the congressional contests, the state chairman says: "While we don’t expect that the next delegation to Congress will contain as few Democratic members as the present one, yet we believe a good showing will he made by the Republicans throughout the State on this issue.” Democratic State Chairman Gorman also Issued a statement, but lie gives no figures and makes no predictions. It consists of a denunciation of Republican rule in the State and an earnest appeal for the election of Jenks and his colleagues on the ticket. Th<- honest government party also issued an address claiming that Swallow will bo elected. Tn an interview to-night Democratic State Chairman German said: “1 estimate that 1,000,000 votes will be cast, divided about as follows: Jenks. 430.W**; Stone. 395.000; Swallow. 175.000. which will leave Jenks at least 35.000 plurality. I do not care to give figures as to counties, but our whole effort l*as been to have oast for Jenks as many votes as were cast for Bryan in 1596, which was 422,000; anti my advices indicate that he will exceed that figure.” National Committeeman Guffey also expressed confidence In the election or Jenks. INTEREST IN OHIO. It Center* In the Support the State Will C.tve the President. CINCINNATI, 0.. Nov. B.—Special Interest is taken in the election in Ohio because of the public utterances that the President’s native State should show a strong indorsement of the administration at this time by return of Republican congressmen. This is what is known as “the off year.” The dominant party has heretofore lost in Ohio at the congressional elections following a presidential election, and if the Republicans hold their own on Tuesday it will be a marked exception to the rule. The present apportionment of the Ohio congressional districts was made while McKinley was Governor in 1892. Under this apportionment the Republicans in 1894 elected nineteen ami the Democrats only two members of Congress. During the administration of President Cleveland In 1894 there was a tidal wave in favor of the Republicans. At the presidential election in 1896 the Republicans elected fifteen and the Democrats six of the Ohio congressmen. As this is a historical "off year” the Democrats claim that they will make congressional gains, and the Republicans claim ~ they will hob! their ov.n at fifteen to six and possibly make it sixteen to five. The only state officers to be elected are secretary of state, judge and clerk of the Supreme Court, food commissioner and member of the Board of Public Works and none of these places rarrv with them such patronage as the pieces filled last year, when Governor Bushnell was re-elected. Next year there will be elected a Governor and a full state ticket, together with members of the Legislature. with no national issues Involved, hut the campaign will be more animated than this year. During the present canvass the only Issue in the President s State has been the support of his administration. ♦ Iff MASSACHUSETTS. Situation tn fnnxreiiloiil District*— Wolcott'* Probable Plurality. BOBTON, Nov. 6.—The close of the campaign finds three of the usually Republican congressional districts somewhat m doubt. They are the Fifth. Seventh and Tenth, while owing to a split in the party the usually overwhelmingly Democratic Ninth district, now repiesented by John F. Fitzgerald. la also uncertain. In the Fifth district Joseph F. Flynn has been making a vigorous fight fer Congressman Knox’s seat. *ud It la gvueraily conceded that tlie con-

test will be close. In the Seventh district Mayor W. L. Ramsdell, of Lynn, has waged an aggressive campaign, and the indications are that if Ernest W. Roberts, the Republican candidate, is successful it will be by a majority considerably smaller than that given to Congressman Barrett in the same district two years ago. In the Ninth district the independent Democratic candidacy of James A. Gallivan and the war record of Franz Hugo Krebs will make considerable difference in Congressman Fitzgerald's usually safe plurality. In the Tenth district the contest between Samuel J. Barrows. the present Republican incumbent, and Henry F. Naphen, Democrat, promises to be close and both parties are confident of success. The Republicans concede that the vote for Bruce for Governor will exceed 100,000, although the Democrats claim 150.000. year Governor Wolcott’s vote w'as 165.075 and the combined vote of Williams. Democrat, and Everett, National Democrat, was 93,031. The New Jersey Campaign. TRENTON, N. J., Nov. 6.—One of the moat active political campaigns conducted in New Jersey for some years past is closed. Foster M. Voorhees and Elvln W. Crane, the Republican and Democratic candidates for Governor, made speaking tours of the State. The issues discussed were largely of state concern. Much attention was paid on both sides to the labor vote, and the Democrats attacked Secretary Alger’s management of the War Department. Besides the Governor there will be elected in the State eight congressmen, eight members of the state Senate, a full House of Assembly, and minor county officers. The legislature in joint session will have the selecting of a successor to United States Senator James Smith, Democrat, and this is playing as Important a pact in the campaign as the governorship. William B. Gourley, chairman #f the Democratic state committee, said to-day: "The Democrats will have a majority of 10,000 in the State, and a majority in the Legislature on Joint ballot.” Chairman Franklin Murphy, of the Republican state committee, said: "Mr. Voorhees will certainly have from 5.000 to 10,000 in the State. I never saw the conditions more favorable to a big majority.” . ELECTION DAY WEATHER. Rain or Snow Predicted for a Large Number of State*. WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—The following special forecast covering election day weather east of the Rocky mountains has been issued by the chief of the Weather Bureau: “Rain is indicated for the middle Atlantic and New England States and the upper Ohio valley and the eastern lake region. In the States of the middle and upper Mississippi and lower Ohio valleys and western lake region rain Monday night in southern and rain or snow in northern parts of the districts named. Will be followed Tuesday by clearing colder weather. Fair weather is indicated for Tuesday for all districts W'est of the Mississippi and in the Southern States WILLIS L. MOORE, ’’Chief of Weather Bureau.” WILL BE APPEALED.’ Judge I.aenniir* Hensons for Promptly Deciding n Stamp Tax Case. NEW YORK. Nov. 6.-The test ease brought on behalf of the Merchants’ Association in an endeavor to fix the responsibility for the payment of the stamp tax, which payment has been evaded by the express companies, came up for argument yesterday before Judge Laeombe, of the United States Circuit Court, on the preliminary motion for an injunction against the express companies. The case is entitled "William Crawford against William L. llubbell, as treasurer of the Adams Express Company.” After listening to the arguments of counsel Judge laieornoe stated that for the purpose of expediting the case in its course to a higher court, he would decide this preliminary motion at once off hand. He said that he was inclined to <lo this for the reason that a little “hustling”, so to speak, on the part of counsel on both sides would bring the case to a point where it could be heard on appeal at the December term of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. He assumed, he said, that whichever way he might decide, there would be an appeal, and in rendering his decision he did it without prejudice to any of the interests involved. For the purpose of thus expediting the entire matter he therefore rendered his oral decision denying the application for the injunction against the express companies.

CHARGED WITH MURDER MRS. BLACK FORMALLY ACCUSED OF KILLING FARMER BAILEY. ♦ PoNNlhle Clew to Another Murder Found In a Bloodstained Newspaper Hidden In a Pile of Stave*. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE, lnd., Nov. 6.—Last evening a warrant was served on Mrs. Lavina Black in the county jail, charging her with murder in the first degree for the killing of Farmer John W. Bailey the previous day in the sensational tragedy in Harrison township. The woman had previously caused the arrest of Bailey, whose farm adjoined that of her husband, John Black, charging him with criminal assault. At the trial before Mayor Tuhey the defendant proved an alibi. The woman was bent on making Bailey suffer and at once decided to kill him. She called at the home of Smith Childs, another neighbor, for a bucket of water. While there she noticed Bailey in the yard and opened fire only ten feet away. Three of the six shots took effect, one ploughing through the brain. There were three eyewitnesses to the tragedy. After the shooting the woman walked home, informed her husband, and the two drove to Muneie, where she surrendered. In speaking about the case, she states that what she did was bad. but the treatment Bailey gave her was worse, and that wives and mothers should feel glad that the world has been rid of such a man. The woman has never shed a tear and does not show the least sign of remorse. She Is but twenty-nine years of age and is the mother of three children, the oldest a daughter of eleven. Bailey was forty-eight years old and the father of eight children, NEW CO-OPERATIVE COMPANY. Plan* of the Home Industrial Association of Wayne County. Sjiecial to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND, lnd., Nov. 6.—The experiment of co-operative agricultural and horticultural work, with all that pertains thereto, is to be given a test by a company of Richmond and Wayne county men, who have formed the Home Industrial Association. They have a capital stock of SIO,OOO, divided Into shares of SIOO each. No member can hold more than one, share, which precaution is taken in order to keep the work entirely co-operative. Land near this city has been secured and the work of starting a dairy and creamery is in progress. In the spring truck gardening, culture of small fruits and berries, bee culture and other branches will be taken up. The objects of the association are to furnish the members and other unemployed self-sustaining employment and positions of economic security: to give wage earners in all lines of industry who are individually unable to accomplish anything with their small savings, a chance to invest them in a way that will result in good in many lines. The association will first employ its own members as fast as they are thrown out of their regular employment or for any cause desire such employment as can he provided. The promoters of the scheme look forw'ard to a general system of cooperation, and intend, as soon as practicable, to establish branches in other States, with Richmond for headquarters. The first branch will probably be established at some point in the South. CLEW TO A MURDER. Rlood*taliied Newspaper Uonnd In a Pile of Stave*. Social to the Indianapolis Journal. PORTI.AND, lnd., Nov. 6.—ls the owner of a copy of a Cincinnati newspaper of the date of Sept. 24, 1898. can be found, it is more than likely that he can tell a good deal about the murder of Nimrod Williams in this city on the night of Sept. ?,l of this year. In rummaging among the stave piles near Adams & Co.’s factory a man named Houser saw a paper far back between two of the piles. He reached in, drew the crumpled sheet out and was astonished to find that it was covered with blood, and hud a cut across the pages as if the blade of a keen weapon had been drawn through it. Tiie paper was discovered only a short distance from the spot where Williams was murdered, and the general supposition among those who have seen it is that whoever killed Williams used this paper to wipe the blood off the weapon which he used. Williams was found lying along the Grand Rapids & Indiana Railroad tracks with his skull cleft in twain and a clean cut extending down through the brain. At that time all efforts to ferret out the perpetrator of the deed met with failure.

Chnreli Bell* Blessed. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, lnd., Nov. 6.—The impressive services of blessing the bells at St. Benedict's German Catholic Church were held this afternoon. The church, which will be dedicated next Easter, is to be the finest in this section of the country, all that an unlimited supply of money and art could do having been done. The three large bells are to be placed in the tower this w r oek. The absence of Bishop Chatard in the East caused Vicar General Bessonies to officiate, assisted by tin* Rev. Michael Richards, exprovincial of the Franciscan fathers, and stationed at the Sacred Heart Church, in Indianapolis. The latter delivered the sermon after the blessing of the bells. The acolytes, school children, members of the chutch societies and the priests formed a procession, headed by the Ringgold Band, w’hich marched from the chapel to the church.

The women now have in their possession his commission, signed in Mr. Washington's own hand. A special bill providing for a pension for all widows and daughters of revolutionary soldiers has been presented by Congressman Steele, and the women are securing additional evidence to further their claims for pensions. Mr. Steele says the pension records show that there are only nine surviving daughters of revolutionary soldiers. Burn* Larkeil Only n Few Vote*. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE, Ind..

A. 300, the Window Glass Workers’ Association, was made public by the officers at Pittsburg, and another vote on some offices is being made this week, as a majority over all votes cast is necessary to elect. The ballot shows that President Burns is but a few votes short of an election. and his friends say it will be easy lor him the second time, but an attempt is being made to concentrate all the opposition on Getsinger. The total vote for president is 3,408, while last year it was 2.772, Burns getting 2.326. According to the latest reports the membership of L. A. 300 is now about 4,520, making 1,000 members not voting. MiNsion Church Dedicated. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

CLASH IS EXPECTED. Deadly Race Riot Possible in North Carolina on Election Day. WILMINGTON, N. C.. Nov. 6.—While no clash has occurred to-dav rowdyism prevailed which came near precipitating a conflict last night. There, pervades the community an air of suppressed excitement, an apparent deathly calm such as soldiers say precedes and tokens a fearful battle. The strain has become almost unbearable. Every citizen is on the tiptoe of expectancy and the wildest of rumors are afloat. The negroes, while outwardly quiet, are maneuvering in secret. They have recently received another supply of arms as shown by 200 of them parading the streets at midnight last night with rifles and other arms. They give it out that their various orders have sworn death to the “red shirts.” But few white citizens slept soundly last night. Lawless bands of armed negroes gathered tn the northern portion of the city. An outbreak was momentarily expected. A number of white women In that section were nearly prostrated with fear. Some were thrown into hysterics. White men guarded the houses and the Wilmington Light Infantry and Naval Reserves were rendezvoused all night at their armories. Street-cars were stoned by negroes last night, so white people were compelled to desert them and walk. The police force was unable to command order. OLD COUPLE SLAIN. Mr. and Mr*. John Buhl* Hacked to Death with an Ax. TWO RIVERS, Wis., Nov. 6.—Mr. and Mrs. John Bahia, aged seventy-six and six-ty-five years, respectively, were brutally murdered in the village of Mishicott, about two miles northwest of here, some time last night. Mr. Bahls was killed in his barn and his wife was slain in their cottage. The faces of the victims were hacked to pieces w'ithi an ax. Robbery is supposed to have been th motive. Ernest Messinann, a laborer. who had worked about the village and who had been allowed at times to sleep in the barn, has been arrested on suspicion of having committed the crime. He was found at the house of his cousin, John Messmann, at Two Creeks, by Sheriff Muth and deputies, of Manitowoc, and taken there for safe keeping. Messmann asserts his innocence, but it is said blood stains were found on his clothing and stories of the time of his arrival at his cousin’s place do not agree. United States bonds to the amount of S7.(X)O, mortgages amounting to SIO,OOO and gold and currency in the sum of nearly SSOO were overlooked by the murderer.

LURED FROM HOME. Chicago Mnn Supposed to Have Been Abducted by Two Stranger*. CHICAGO, Nov. 6.—The Times-Herald says: “Edgar V. McConkey, formerly a commission merchant in South Water street, was lured from his home at 180 Wilmot street at 6:30 o'clock this afternoon. Absolute mystery surrounds his disappearance, and all efforts on the part of his family to locate him or to explain the abduction have proved unavailing. They believe it is a clear case of kidnaping for blackmail, and tiie. wife and mother fear Mr. McConkey has been murdered. McConkey left. h!s home in response to a telephone call which summoned him to the Upton pharmacy, Milwaukee and Oakley avenues, al 5:30. He was met by two men. and although apparently hesitating to go with them, finally boarded a street car in their company. Nothing has been heard from him since.” CALLED WHEN READY. Drunintic Death of a Woman at n Religiou* Service. KANSAS CITY. Nov. 6.—“l’m trying to live a Christian life. I’m homesick to Jesus. I’m ready to go to-day, this hour, this minute, if necessary. Praise the Lord!” Scarcely had these words left the lips of Mrs. Jennie Walker, at a religious meeting at the Goodway mission to-day. when she tell back into her seat dead. r J he hail was crowded wuh worshipers. After a short service, people in the congregation arose one by one and began to bear testimony Mrs. Walker had risen to testify. In one breath she said site was ready to go—her next breath was her last. The woman had died of heart disease. WANAMAKER. AND 4*l AY. Belief Hint the Former I* Not Working Wholly for Reform. Washington Post. Mr. Wanamaker’s fight is against Mr. Quay. It is the same Wanamaker and the same Quay who worked harmoniously together in politics for years. It is the same Wanamaker who was made a member of the Harrison Cabinet as a result of a campaign managed by the same Quay. In 1890, when Mr. Wanamaker was postmaster general and James G. Blaine was secretary of state and Mr. Quay was the Republican leader in his State, there was a factional tight in Pennsylvania, just as there is now r . Mr. Blaine and Mr. Wanamaker went over to Philadelphia and addressed a meeting at the Academy of Music. Among other things Mr. Wanamaker said: "This brilliant man (Blaine)) w'ho, with his keen eyes, has mapped tiie w'elfare of the country in his mind, can advise us what to do in the present struggle. There are grave things to be decided by the vote of Tuesday next, and Pennsylvania cannot sustain a greater loss than to have the old banner trailed in the dust. * * * Pennsylvania has too much at stake In this campaign to quibble and drink in calumny, slander and abuse. J came home to vote. I will vote for the whole ticket, because it is a good ticket. I am a Republican, and to vote for anything eise would put me outside the Republican party. There cannot be tw'o kinds of Republicans, and therefore I cannot understand how a man claiming to be a Republican, and who votes directly a Democratic ticket, can be a Republican.” Since that time Mr. Wanamaker’s desire to occupy a seat in the United States Senate has failed to fructify because Mr. Quay declined to smile upon it. There are not wanting those who connect this fact with Mr. Wanamaker’s present attitude. But the Post makes no such charge. Tt prefers to believe that a quickened conscience irresistibly impels Mr. Wanamaker to go over to the enemy when the usufruct of Quay’s leadership no longer inures to Mr. Wanamaker’s benefit. Applied to \Yn mi maker. Philadelphia North American. “I cannot understand why any Republican in the State should withhold either his influence or his vote from the Republican ticket. Small differences as to the details of administration, and smaller differences growing out of personal disappointments, should be put utterly aside.” These words, addressed by ex-President Benjamin Harrison to the Republicans of his own State, may be taken to heart by every Republican throughout the country. They apply with particular force to Pennsylvania, where John Wanamaker. a former member of General Harrison’s Cabinet, is w-aging war against the Republican party because of the very "personal disappointments” of which the ex-President speaks. His letter is characteristically strong—one of the strongest and clearest notes that has been sounded during the present campaign. It is patriotic, and it goes to the heart of the burning issues which confront the Nation at this time, and which the people are to pass upon within a week. It is timely, and we doubt not will make a marked impression upon the result of the election throughout the country. Ex-(iovrrnor Seriously Injured. BRADFORD. Vt., Nov. 6.—Ex-Governor Roswell Farnham was severely injured by falling from a railway station platform, Friday evening, and lies in a critical condition with concussion of the brain at his Rome here.

LANDOR’S PERILOUSTOUR HIS OWJf ACCOUNT OP HIS TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE IN THIBET. Graphic SlAry of SnffrriiiK and Torture an Told in His New Hook—Map Traced in His Own Blood. Mr. A. Henry Savage Landor’s earlier volume relative to his visit to the Ainus was so curious in its anthropological character and so replete with adventure as to have at J>nce attracted attention. Some year or more ago news of Mr. Landor's most perilous travels in Thibet, his torture by the Thibetans and his escape from death, made him an object of universal sympathy. Having the stanch Landor blood in his veins, the author of “In the Forbidden Land.” his long-expected volume which appeared in London three weeks ago, shows that he is endowed by heredity with courage of a surprising quality, together with an amazing amount of vitality. Otherwise he would never have lived to tell his wonderful story. Long ago it had been known that the Thibetans were disinclined to have strangers enter their country. Lhassa is still forbidden ground. What difficulties the traveler meets from geographical conditions are serious enough, and entrance to Thibet is quite a different thing from passing through it. From the volume much may be learned of the Thibetans, who seem to be treacherous and cruel, and at the same time cowardly. The rule of the Chinese is only a passive one, and it is questionable whether the Chinese authorities do not wink at the attacks made by the natives on European explorers. Mr. Landor arrived in India in 1807, reached Garbyang in May, and his objective point was Lhassa. His start was made with a company of thirty men. He did his best to have an escort of those brave, sturdy, and faithful Gourkas, but official red tape prevented it. Asa prudent man he tried to keep his preparations for crossing into Thibet a secret, but somehow the news of his advance was bruited, and at once he found the way barred. The Lumas destroyed bridges over the mountain chasms. He had to take dangerous and roundabout ways, and the sufferings of the party from heavy snowfalls, with impossibility of procuring food, at once began. Finally the sacred Lake Mansarowar, which lies in a hollow of the Himalayas, some 15,000 feet above the level of the sea, was reached. Then tracking easterly, the party struck the Gunkyo % lake, and some former geographical errors Mr. Landor corrected. Breasting all kinds of topographical obstructions, the party finally entered the Brahmaputra valley, and this section of the country was explored for 150 miles. Mr. Landor was in good spirits and was sanguine—maybe oversanguine—that the worst part of his journey had been accomplished. The party had been reduced by desertion, some of the men he had to leave behind, until there were only three in all, Mr. Landor and two native Indians. Sing and (.'hander Sing, the latter a singularly brave and'faithful attendant. A TREACHEROUS LAMA. Food now became exceedingly scarce, and finally a halt was made near a. Thibetan settlement, so that ponies and provisions might be procured, for without them the approach to Lhassa would have been impossible. Mr. Landor thus describes his visit to the settlement: “We next had a visit from a Lama, who appeared both civil and intelligent, and who presented us with some butter and cheese. He had traveled in India, he told us, as far as Calcutta, and was on his way from Gartok to Lhassa. where he hoped to arrive in four or five days, having an excellent pony. Other Lamas and men who came to see us stated that they had come from Lhassa in that time, and I do not think they can have been far wrong, as the whole distance from the Lippu pass on the frontier (near Garbyang) to Lhassa can on horseback be covered in sixteen days. The _ natives, as usual, showed great reticence in letting out the name of the encampment, some calling it Toxem, others Taddju. North of us was a low pass in the hill range, and having already seen as much as I wanted of the Thibetans, it was my intention, if I succeeded in purchasing provisions and ponies, to cross over this pass and proceed forward to the Sacred City, following a course on the northern side of the mountain range. Besides, the highway toward Lhassa was getting so thickly populated that I thought it advisable to travel through less inhabited regions. I intended proceeding, dressed as a European, until within a few miles of Lhassa. Then I could leave my two men concealed In some secluded spot, and, assuming a disguise, I would penetrate alone during the night into the city. This would have been easy enough, as Lhassa has no gates, and only a ruined wall around it. I succeeded in purchasing some clothing and boots from the Thibetans, and the pigtail that I needed to make me pass for a Thibetan I intended to make out of the silky hair of my yaks. To avoid betraying myself by my inability to speak Thibetan fluently, 1 thought of pretending to be deaf and dumb. A good meal brought hope and high spirits, and when I retired to sleep I saw myself already within the sacred walls.” But the "civil and intelligent Lama” proved to be a treacherous enemy. Mr. Landor and Chanden Sing had selected some ponies with the idea of purchasing them, when all of a sudden a rush was made for him and his men by the Thibetans. It was. indeed, a rude awakening. OVERCOME BY FORCE.

“As I stood with my hands behind my back I well recollect the expression of delight on Chanden Sing’s face when I approved of his choice, and, as is generally the case on such occasions, the crowd behind in a chorus expressed their gratuitous opinion on the superiority of the steed selected. I had just stdoped to look at the pony’s forelegs when l was suddenly seized from behind by several persons, who grabbed me by the neck, wrists and legs and threw me down on my face. I struggled and fought until 1 shook off some of my assailants and regained my feet, but others rushed up and 1 was surrounded by some thirty men, who attcked me from every side, and clinging to me with all their might succeeded in grabbing my arms, legs and head. Weak as I was. they knocked me down three more times, and three more times 1 regained my feet. I fought to the bitter end with my tists, feet, head and teeth each time that I got one hand or leg free from their clutches, hitting right and left at any part where 1 could disable my opponents. Their timidity, even when in such overwhelming numbers, was indeed beyond description, and it was entirely due to it. and not to my strength (for I had hardly any), that I was able to hold my own against them for some twenty minutes. My clothes were torn to bits in the tight. Long ropes were thrown at me from every side, and I became so entangled in them that my movements were impeded. One rope which they flung and successfully twisted around my neck completed their victory. They pulled hard at it from the two ends, and while I panted and gasped with the exertion of fighting they tugged and tugged to strangle me, till I felt as if my eyes would shoot out of their sockets. I was suffocating. My sight became dim. and I was in their power. Dragged down to the ground, they stamped and kicked and trampled upon me with their heavy nailed boots until I was stunned. Then they tied my wrists tightly behind my hack; they bound my elbows, my chest, my neck and my ankles. I was a prisoner.” Chanden Sing made a sturdy resistance. ‘‘The brave Chanden Sing had been struggling with all his might against lifteen or twenty foes, and had disabled several of them, lie had been pounced upon at the same moment as I was, and had fought gallantly until, like myself, he had been entangled, thrown down, and secured by ropes. During my struggle I heard him call out repeatedly: Handuk, banduk Mansing: jaldi. banduk!’ ( Rifle, rifle. Mansing; quick, my rifle!’) but alas, poor Mansing the leper, the weak and jaied coolie, had been sprung upon by four powtrfui Tnibetans. who held him pinned to the ground, ns if he had been the fiercest of bandits. Mansing was a philosopher. He had saved himself the trouble of even offering any resistance: but he, too, was ill-treated, beaten and tightly bound. At the beginning of the fight a shrill whistle had brought up 4' (the Lamas stated afterward that this was the number) armed soldiers who had lain in ambush round us, concealed behind the innumerable sandhills and in the depressions In the ground. They took up a position round us and covered us with their matchlocks. “All was now over, and, bound like a dangerous criminal. I looked round to see what had become of my men. When I realized that it took the Thibetans SCO men all

counted to arrest a starved Englishman and his two half dying servants, and that even then they dared not to do it openly, but had to resert to abject treachery; when 1 found that these soldiers were picked troops from Lhassa and Sigatz (Sliigatze) dispatched on purpose to arrest our progress and capture us I could not restrain a smile of contempt for those into whose hands we had at last fallen.” A SERVANT’S SUFFERING. The Thibetans, having secured their captives, brought Mr. Landor and his two men to the Grand Lama, or Governor, of the province. Chanden Sing was unmercifully whipped and Mr. Landor was handed over to a dignitary whose title was Rupun. He had comt from Lhassa to arrest the party. It looked as if the Rupun really wished that the prisoners might be let off, but he was in the minority and powerltss. Now turned over to the Thibetans, jthe torture began. The Rupun told Mr. Landor there wis no hope lor the Englishman and tnat his head would be severed from his body. Mr. Landor tells of the sufferings of the faithful chanden: “Just then 1 heard the voice of my servant Chanden Sing calling to me in u weak, agonized lone: ‘Hazur, Hazur, hum murgiaera!’ (‘Sir, Sir, I am dying!') and, turning my head in ttie direction from which these painful sounds came, 1 perceived my faithful bearer with ills hands bound behinu his back, dragging himself on his stomach toward the uoor of one of the other rooms of the mud ho use. His poor face was hardly recognizable, it bore the traces of such awful suffering. “I could stand no more. Pushing my guards aside with my shoulders, 1 endeavored to get to i.ie lKior wretch, and had nearly reached him when the soldiers who stood by sprang upon me, grappling me, and lifted me bodily off my feet. They threw me on the back of a pony. “Though I now feared the worst, I tried to encourage my brave servant by shouting to him that I was being taken to Taklukot, and tliat he would be brought after me the following day. He had exhausted his last atom of strength in creeeping to the door. He w r as roughly seized and brutally hurled back into the room of the mudhouse, so that we could not exchange a word more. Mansing, the coolie, was placed with his arms pinioned, on a bare-back pony. The saddle of the pony I had been thrown upon is worthy of description. It was in reality the wooden frame of a very high-backed saddle, from the back of which some five or six sharp iron spikes stuck out horizontally. As I sat on this implement of torture the spikes caught me in the small of the back. “My guard having been augrr and by twenty or thirty mounted men witl 'skets and swords, we set off at a furiot je. A horseman riding in- front of me led pony by means of a cord, as my hands wci manacled behind my back, and thus we traveled across country for miles. “An iron bar with a handle of wood bound in red cloth was being made redhot in a brasler. The Pombo, who had again placed something in nis mouth to produce artificial foaming at the lips, and so to show his temper, worked himself into a frenzy. A Lama handed him the implement of torture (the taram), ntw redhot. and the Pombo seized it by the handle. 'Ngaghi kiu meh taxon!’ (‘We will burn out your eyes!') cried a chorus of Lamas. The Pombo strode up to me, brandishing the ghastly implement. I stared at him, but he kept his eyes away from me. He seemed reluctant, but the Lamas around him urged him on, lifting the man’s arm toward me. ‘You have come to this country to see’ (alluding to what I had stated the previous day, viz., that I was a traveler and pilgrim and had only come to see the country.) ’This, then, is the punishment for you!’ and with these dreadful words the Pombo raised his arm and placed the redhot iron bar parallel to and about an inch or two from my eyeballs, and all but touching my nose. Instinctively I kept my eyes tightly closed, hut the heat was so intense that it seemed as if my eyes, the left one especially, were being desiccated and my nose scorched. Though the time seemed interminable, I do not think that the heated bar was before my eyes actually longer than thirty seconds or so. Yet it was quite long enough, for, when I lifted my aching eyelids I saw everything as in a red mist. My left eye was frightfully painful. and every few seconds it seemed as if something in front of it obscured its vision. With the right eye I could still see fairly well, except that everything, as I have said, looked red instead of its usual color. The hot iron had been thrown* down and was frizzling on the wet ground a few paces from me.” INGENIOUS TORTURE.

One terrible cruelty was to place the butt of a matchlock at Mr. Lander’s forehead and then to fire off the heavy piece, so that he should be stunned by the recoil. Mr. Landor thought his end was near, for the executioner advanced with a drawn sword: “The executioner, now close to me, held the sword with his nervous nands, lifting it high above his shoulder. He then brought it down to my neck, which he touched with the blade, to measure the distance, as it were, for a clean, effective stroke. Then, drawing back a step, he quickly raised the sword again and struck a blow at me with all his might. The sword passed disagreeably close to my neck, but did not touch me. I would not flinch, nor speak, and my demeanor seemed to impress him almost to the point of frightening him. He became reluctant to continue his diabolical performance, but the impatience and turbulence or the crowd were at their highest, and the Lamas nearer to him gesticulated like mad men and urged him on again. As I write this their wild shouts, their bloodthirsty eounteances, are vividly brought before me. Apparently against his will ,the executioner went through the same kind of performance on 'the other side of my head. This time the blade passed so near that the point cannot have been more than half an inch or so from my neck.” The Pombo. it seems, however, did not wish to have the prisoners beheaded. Finally it was arranged that Mr. Landor should be sent to the Indian frontier. The return Mr. lamdor tells of: “When all was ready Mansing and I were led on foot to Toxen. our guard consisting of some fifty horsemen riding on ponies. We had to travel at a great speed despite our severely lacerated feet, our aching bones, and the sores and wounds with which we were covered all over. The soldiers led me tied by the neck like a dog, and dragged me along when, panting, exhausted and suffering, 1 could not keep up with the ponies. We crossed several cold streams, sinking in water and mud up to our waists. “At Toxen, to my great delight. I beheld Chanden Sing still alive. He had been kept prisoner in the mudhouse, where he had remained tied upright to a post for over three days, and for four days he had not eaten food nor drunk anything. He was told that I had been beheaded. He was in a dreadful condition; almost dying from his wounds, cold and starvation.” BLOOD USED AS INK. Their condition was fearful, as the route was long, and Mr. Landor kept the record, writing it with his own blood: “We suffered considerably on these long marches, as the soldiers ill treated us and would not allow us to eat every day for fear we should get too strong. They let us have food only every two or three dKys, and our exhaustion and the pain caused by riding those wretched yaks in our wounded condition were terrible. “All our property had been taken away from us, and our clothes were in rags and swarming with vermin. We were barefooted and practically naked. The first few days we generally marched from before sunrise till sometimes an hour or two after sunset: and wnen we reached camp we were torn off our yaks and our jailers fastened iron cuff round our ankles, in addition to those we had already round our wrists. Being considered quite safe, we were left to sleeep out in the open without a covering of any kind, and often lying on snow or deiuged with rain. Our guard generally pitched a tent tinder which they slept; but even when they did not have one, they usually went to brew their tea some fifty yards or so from us. “Helped by my two servants, who sat by me to keep watch and to screen me, I managed. at considerable risk, to keep a rough record of the journey back on a small piece of paper that had remained in my pocket when Iliad been searched by the Thibetans. As 1 did when on the rack, I used to draw my right hand out of its cuff, and, with a small piece of bone I had picked up as pen, and my blood as ink. I drew brief cipher notes and a map of the whole route back.” Arriving finally at Dogir.ar, new difficulties arose, for the Governor there, one Jong Pen, wanted them to be turned back. Finally the three men reached British India. No one presumes to question the truthfulness of Mr. terrfble story, for in the appendix is printed the evidence collected in the course of an official inquiry carried out by the Indian authorities. The only marvel is how the three men escaped alive. One of the photographs of Mr. I-andor after he reached India shows all the traces of physical suffering. Here. too. Is a copy of the map traced with Mr. s blood. The volumes record a man’s devotion to geographical research. Johnnie’s Version. Saturday Evening Post. Johnnie was about to repeat his first verse at the Sunday school concert. Os course, it must be short, and in simple words, so his mother selected this for him, ”1 am the Light of the World," repeating it to him a number of times until he was sure of it. The evening of the concert came. Johnnie came out, made his best bow. and proclaimed in a loud voice, “My mother is the light of the world.”

(Concluded from First Page.) which, under other conditions, might pass with slight notice, but which is significant, coming on the heels of a threat made in Havana because of a protest recently made by Mr. Mac Lean. manager of the Marino Railway, owned by an English company, against the use to which the railway stations had been put by Spanish soldiers stationed to guard them on Sundays and holidays. The conduct of the soldiers was grossly indecent, and excited the indignation of everybody living in the vicinity of tin* stations. When Mr. Mac Lean lodged his complaint. General Arolas, who is extremely hostile to the English, as well as the Americans, declared that he would get even with the “Saxon rabble.” El Diario de la Marina publishes a fierce editorial attack upon the United States, declaring that “the whole country is governed by rum and ignorance.” It imputes to the American government “a breach of faith contrary to the usages of all civilized countries in sending war vessels to Porto Rico after the protocol was signed and occupying the Philippines before the conference at Paris has terminated.” The whole article is a mass of inaccuracies and slanders. but its spirit is most seditious. On Oct. CO 105 members of the civil guard were shipped to Spain by the steamer Ciudad de Cadiz against their will and under armed escort. They were among those who. because. of their protest against a nonpayment of arrears upon their discharge from the civil guard, were imprisoned at El Mono by General Blanco.

NEGLECT AT HAVANA. Two Amerlfflii Fever Patients AVtthout Attention for Several Days. HAVANA, Nov. 6.—J. B. Caldwell and F. T. Stewart, attached to the quartermaster’s department, have been stricken with yellow fever. They had been occupying apartments at tiie Hotel Pasaje, adjoining those of Colonel Williams, the chief quartermaster, who is suffering from yellow lever. Both men were removed this afternoon under the order of Dr. Laine to El Vedado fever hospital. In the opinion of Dr. Laine and other physicians the Hotel Pasaje is infected and there will probably be a stampede among the American guests when the fact becomes known. Following'the usual petty jealousies existing between the commissioners, to which the medical corps furnishes no exception, the doctor who attended Caldwell and Stewart gave no notice of their illness to the United States commissioners at Ei Vedado. Colonel Williams being ill and nobody apparently being authorized to assume authority in his place. Stewart, who is a clerk In the quartermaster’s department, lacked certain attentions that only money could buy. Instead of the United States commissioners being informed an attempt was made to collect private subscriptions to provide nurses and medicine. Caldwell and Stewart have been 111 now for several days, but not until this morning was the fact brought to the attention of the American commissioners, who immediately ordered Dr. Laine to see the patients and care for them at the expense of the commissioners. Asa result of his examination the removal orders were promptly issued, Dr. considering ii. his first duty to care for the health of the large number es Americans living at the Hotel Pasaje. Admiral Sampson and Generals Wade and Butler, the United States evacuation commissioners, are highly incensed at the action of those who originated the private subscription for a government official. ♦ CUBANS LEARN SOMETHING. Cannot Steal Now Without Danger of Arrest—Wood’s Appointments. SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Nov. 6—An insurgent captain and lieutenant have been arrested at Guantanamo for holding up a man on the street and taking away his machete, which they afterwards sold for $2.50. They denied they were under any obligation to pay for it, and claimed exemption from trial and imprisonment on the ground of their rank in the Cuban army. Mr. Kempner has been promoted to l>e postal agent of the military department of Santiago. John Gorst has been appointed postmaster ot Santiago city and Hugo Heyderman financial clerk. There axe now eight postoffiees in the department—Santiago, Daiquiri. Guantanamo, Baraeoa, San Louis, Manzanillo. Gibara aiul Holguin. Many people are arriving here with letters from senators. One man is virtually appointed by Secretary Alger as collector of customs at Ma.tzanillo. He expects about three times the salary of the Cuban now holding the position. Owing to pressure of public business General Leonard Wood, governor of the department, has postponed his trip to Guantanamo for a day or two, but he will probably leave before the middle of the week. PLAGUE OF SMALLPOX. General Wood (abler* for Vaccine Virus and Cots. N9W YORK, Nov. C.—General Wood, commanding at Santiago de Cuba, has sent a cable dispatch to the Central Cuban Relief Association, which reads: “I find in Holguin district, just evacuated by Spaniards, long-standing smallpox scattered throughout the district, and am making every effort to stamp it cut. Dr. Woodson, of the army, is in charge of the work. Please send him to Gibara by first government transport one thousand cots and two hundred halfounce bottles of vaccine lymph.” Agent Warner,’ of the Red Cross, who reached Gibara in the latter part of September on the scho( ncr Mary E. Morse, reported on his arri/al the terrible spread of smallpox, which had been raging unchecked for a long time, and called for vaccine virus. Enough for one thousand vaccinations was at once sent, as well as a quantity of quinine. The facts were telegraphed to General Wood, in reply to his message, and he was told that the supplies asked for v/ould he sent to the Red Cross agent at Gibara for Dr. Woodson's use. Gossip About Platt. New York Special. Senator Platt’s friends deny with great vehemence that he is lukewarm in his support of Roosevelt or that there is treason in the Republican camp. They hold that Senatoi Platt is in deadly earnest in wanting Roosevelt elected, and as one of (he strong points in support of that position say that he has the famous Rough Rider in tnining to beat President McKinley out of a renomination. Proceeding with this argument they claim that Senator Platt, after electing Roosevelt Governor, will keep him under control by dangling the White House before his eyes. Those who argue in this fashion are, apparently, forgetful or unmindful that it is in the power of any President to bring about his own renomination for a second term under ordinary circumstances. The case of President Arthur was an exception. He set about to have himself renominated, but could not overcome the cruel undertone of popular sentiment adverse to the idea of making a beneficiary of the violent death of a chief magistrate his own successor. Well, it may be that there is no treason in the Roosevelt campaign, but if such is the case then signs that are usually reliable lie. It is not impossible. however, that the great masses of the Independent, free-thinking voters will take this matter in their own hands and overwhelmingly decide the election to suit themselves. They may conclude that their safety lies in electing a man Governor who is above and beyond boss dictation. There are evidences that the people up the State are moved by such an Impulse. Some of the statisticians and prophets about Republican headquarters predict that Roosevelt will come down to Harlem with 175.000 majority. Others who pride themselves on being conservative put the majority at 100,1)00. Either estimate will elect.
