CROSS EYES, THE1P. CAUSE AND CUKE, BY "Dr. A. B. linker, Oculist & Aurist.

Feautiful eyes are an ornarceit to the couutean e: and any deformity, no matter bow stigct lci only ntrs, but make a lasting impression ipoo tbe deposition and development ol Ue individual. The remarks of the rude and vaoughtleM are among the earliest and mw: painful recollections of these unfortunate. In nan 7 instances tn.y become so morbidly sengame that tue mention of cross eyes to them 1. almost torture. Nor is the appearance alone coneerned in this defect, but the functions of the ? also sutler to such an extent that one eye if nearly blind and too other weak. A care, then, involves restoration ol sight, m well os personal appearance. KINDS AND CAl'SEi There are seven kinds ot cross eye1?, which way be produced from various causes, among tbe dom common are children imitating tho-te wftwe eyes are turned, looking at tbe nose, paralysis of an ocular muscle, sore eyes badly treated, measles, feers, whooping cough, tee thin sr. worms, stys. injury, near-sight. oers.frM, etc., etc. ; or they may be congenital, Iroin lint. EE3T TIME TO BE CIT.ED. Cross eyes can be cured at any ace, tnt the Smproveinent In sight is not so srreat in middle age as In youth. Children born with ttie deformity should le treated as scon aher dentitioc as possible. In youth, the squint is not luliy established usually but one eye is at fault binocular vision is more easily established, Itemeajuricg power of dis'ances and duseniocs is not destroyed, besides the tendency to snake the child cross, b j, b&shtul or vicious is obviated, and tbe impediment to propereducalion, the want oi vision, is removed by curing while young. THE TREATMENT. Ti e theory of curing cror s eyes as taught in the attools find practised by oculists generally Is the fame throughout the country. But few oculists are able to measure the decree and direction ot the squint, hence it it that theycut and try," and the attempt to cure often proves futile, without a second or third Operation, which, if anything, is more complicated th&n the lirst. We wish to call sttention to our NEW AND PAINLESS METHOD, cf treating this deformity. It Is doneat onesittice. in a miuut or two. and requires no confnement, banding or after treatment. The patient can return home at once positively cured. Without egotism or bombast, we believe that we cure more crofg eyes In a month than the average oculist in a ear. As evidence of o:r success we append the names of a few of the hundreds o! out rat rot s as REFERENCES, Who are so easy of access that those interested can tee for tLemcves what our patrons say after the lapse of a year.

"WAeiriM-TCX, October 31 The President this afteiEoon receiveo a oerutation from Great Britain who desire h's co-operation in eecurirg a treaty between that country and the I'niled btates, which shall provide for tbe amicable settlement of disputes bv arbitration. The delegation included Lord Kincard, the K;ght Honorable Sir I.jon I'layfair, M. 1'.; Sir Georee Campbell, M. 1.; Sir John Swinburne, M. P.; Mr. Haller Stewart, M. P.; Mr. lienj. Pickard, V.. 1'.; Mr. William Cremer, M. P.; ilr. Caleb Wright, M. P.; Mr. A. D. Provand, M. P.; Mr. Octavius V. Morgan, M. P.; Mr. Monroe FergUEon, M.

AccomnanviDr the deputation - - a, a were Mr. William Jones, Secretary of I'eace Association, I.onlon; the Rev. Mr. Kowland E. Howard, Boston; Mr. John B. Wood and Philip C. Garrett, of Philadelphia, and the Kev. Ir. Eaton, of Hew York". Mr. Andrew Carnegie of Pennsylvania, in trodnced the visitors to the President in a short address, in which he presented the great importance of tbe question. The Kt. Hon. Lyon Plajfair, presenting the members of Parliament, and Mr. John Wileon representing the Trade Congress, also matfe short addresses in support of the movement. Mr. Playfair's address was as follows: Mr. President: I have the honor to represent a deputation of twelve members of Parliament who propose to present to you, as the head of this great nation, and through you to Congress, a memoilal in favor of the ar' itraticn of political fifierences fc.cn d;p'omatic agencies have failed to adjust them. This memorial has been signed by -zo members of the House oi Commons, er by more than onethird Of its whole number. It is really the outcome of an ardent desire on the part of the woriinpmen of the I'nited Kingdom to perpetuate the triendhlp and peace which now happily exists between the kiudnd people of both sides of the Atlantic Tbe representatives of the people have given expression to this feeling sinoiig their constituents by signing the memorial. Even if it doe not etu-ct an immediate or proximate treaty of arbitration, you will, Mr. President, recognise that the memorial is a remarkable expression of tbe brotnerly feeling which our working clasps entertain for tt cir kinsman in tbe I'nited States. International arbitration. If established, would only be one step further in ti e history of civilization. When individuals quarrel, society s not permit them to settle the dispute by violence, but it refers them to courts oi iuity or law in order that the differences msy te compcM-d. Why should not this principle be extended to nations especially where, as in ttecasetfthe United Kingdom and lnited Mates, they are allied by blood and knittoirctttr bv love. We are both tbe common inheritors of the traditions and glories oi the Arglo-Saxon race, from which wo have obtained the f-piiit f conciliation- a spirit that Las ko aided the iat:onal !( Tclijmcnt of toth countries. Tl etmie is lavorable lor a consideration of the jtitfctlon, )'ause the whole world is startled at te new ssi-vct of var which the procret s til tclcnce is msking a huge engine for the bit.tal tuKbtiy td n en aud wanton waste ofprrroty. !s increasing cost tbre tens the bssjg of iiational credit, and even of national solvency. In ten years the co.t off European RimsEBtut has 'ncreased by at least perVcnt, whi.e it amount to 3wr cent of the whole tarnires of Kurci-e. TheJ'uited States almost a!c te sn-oi g Dsticns en keep down itscomI stsr t cxp nditures br ause it coes not consider it ticoMiry to anticipate war with foreign Esticns. It is here, thtrefore, ratnertban in Kurort, that the profOfals for treaties of arbitration might naturally be made. At all evenu he might devle a treaty of 8- titration tetwetntl.e United Kingdom and tbe tmttd States. Hist would be a glorious example to other nations, and might icad to the t o great Anglo-h-axon cations being the peacemaker, of the world. That is the feeling which has induced so many members of Parliament to of er their co-operation to members of Congress in settling political diC (. rentes by arbitration. If our two countries uc-eed In doing so it will give an eminent illustration that uatious, as well as lndh iduals, can compose their dlllerences without violeLce by adhercu c to the j ricc:pies of canity and of international law. Afr. Gremer, M. P., Secretary of the AVorkingmen'a Peace Association, who originated the memorial, then presented it to the President, and made an address, in which be raid that the objects cough t had met with the approval of all classes in Great Britain, including large numbers of members ot both Houses of Parliament. The Workingman'a Peace Association, the congregational onion of -0.000 members, Mr. Gladstone, etc., and represented that it was especially desirable that the United States should take the initiative The President responded as follows: Ontlement The main and prominent Idea so fittingly presented by you and by the memorials you deliver, is a loity and eanobilng out, involving the preservation of peace with all its manifold blessings. These have, as civilization has vrogresscd. been more and more recognized as the tasisof of national prosperity and nappiness. And this reflection may well lead to surprise that peace has made'no ereater progress in it sut stitution for the wasting progress ot war, as an arbiter of international disputes. It is well that the minds of good and thoughtful men should be new turned to this subject, and that a concerted movement should be made to svu-ersede the honors of war. It is well, too that this eRort should be maae by the citizens of the two countries which proudly claim to be in the van of civilization and progress. The pconle of my country boast that they can exhibit in their prosperity and development more ot the victories of peace than any other nation on the globe. At the same time our history demonstrates that we need yield to none in the spirit and patriotism which make war terrible. It seems to me that a country thus demonstrating the advantage of peace, and at the same time having no fear of the suspicion of weakness, is in a favorable condition listen to the merit oi the? case you presen'JJ Ai to my mind there Is nothing more touching or peraciasive than the part the laboring men of Cnrlsnd have taken in this movement. 1 hey speuk Sot their freedom frem Increased cost of living Induced by war. Nay more, they peak lor their homes, their families and their lives. I cannot but think that there are object lessons before the working tneu of America, wbU b will read, ly awaken their sympathy with and lesire for a condition of international understanding wbk:h ball alleviate tbe death and distress which Mar 1-rirgs to their households. I am sorry to be ODligcd to confess that the practical aide of this question ha received but iiltie of niy attention. I am reminded, too, that in the administration of government, ditiiculty cften arlhei In the attempt to earefjuy appl; ideas which in themselves challenge nnqualifed srproval. Thai it may be that the friends of international arbitration will not beabl at once to ic'CJre the adoption In its whole extent of their humane and beneficent stbeite. But surely progress should be made by a sincere and hearty eCort. 1 promise JOu a faithful und careful consideration of the matter and I believe 1 may tptak for the American people in giving the asurates thattbey CcslziW lt lbs killing of

men for the accomplishment of national ambition abolhhcd; and that they will gladly bail the advent of peaceful methods in the settlement of national disputes, so far as this is consistent with the defence and protection ol our counuy'fl territory, and with tbe maintenance ol onr national honor when it affords a shelter and repocefor national integrity, and personlles tbe safety and protection of our citizens. The reputation having been inyited by Mr. Carnegie to visit Pittsburg, will leave hereon a special car by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, to-morrow morning, for that city. COAST DEFENSES.

statements al Rrrommdsthiiii of tHe Chief of Engineers Mortar Kattenes. Washikgtn, October 31. Gen. Duane, Chief of Kogineers, has made his report to the Secretary of War. Beyond reference to the attached reports of o&cers in charge of improvements, the subject of river and harbor improvements receives little mention in the report, which is devoted largely to a statement ot the condition of seaccast and lake-front deiensea. On thia topic Gen. Duane says that many of the woiks are dilapidated, and economy requires that they should be kept from decay. Tbe estimates submitted aggregate .V.':; 1,000, including USSC.OÜO for the construction of gun and mortar batteries, and $l,!-Go,0K) for submarine mines and appliances for closing channels. In a report upon the subject of fortifications made by tbe board of engicers, which ia included in Gen. iJaane's report it is faid: 1 1 must be evident that immediate action is ddsaoded to place our sea-coat defences in Vropcr condition to resist the attacks ot an enemy. From tbe difference of opinions which exists among certain non-military experts as to the character of armor to be used in land defences, the impression has been created that this matter is an unsettled ana tentative condition, and that tbe policy of inaction now existing should still continue. But the facts will not warrant this conclusion, as more than ninetenthB of the armament recommended for our sea-coasts is not to be mounted bebind iron protections, but in tbe rear of earthern covers surmountiDK ana shielding tbe masonry, magazines, borno-prools and store rooms. 1'articvilarly is this true of the rl tied mortars which must hereafter play an important part in tbe defence of our channels and water-ways, and there is no reason why tbe erection of tbe batteries required for them should be delayed a single month. In a word, proper sums may be judiciously expended, and much progress toward placing our coast in a defensive condition may be made indeed, must be made, before the question of ar mor demands consideration." in accordance with tbe instructions of the Secretary of War, the board ba9 also submitted preliminary plans for the defence of the more important sea-board harbors. Two typical designs prepared by the beard which are said to meet all mod ern requirements are for fortifications constructed of sand, covering tbe masonry and bomb-proofs. The report says that no ar mor is now or ever will be required for such defences. It is bellend that disap pearing carnages can be constructed which will carry twelve inch fifty ton rifled gun, and an appropriation is suggested sufficient to place a few of these guns ard carriages at each of the principal ports. The plan of defense by mortar and gun batteries recommended by the board involves an expenditure during the next fiscal year of $2,810,000, which it proposes to divide among the ports as follows: New York, 4H),0C0; San Francisco, $ö)000; iWBton, l0.0f;0: Hampton Koads, $2"0.000: New Orlean, $210,000; Philadelphia, $210,000; Waehington. $80.C00; Baltimore, $S0,000; Portland, $2tK))000; Narragansett Hay, $2ih),0C0. The plan also contemplates the preparation of casements, cable shafts. etc., to the number of twenty-six, distri buted as follows: At -New ort live, at San Francisco five, Poster five, Hampton two, . i niiaae ipnia two, Washington one. Palt imore cne, Portland three, Narragan sett Pay two. Change of County Otticei, Etc. Frank UN Ind., October 31. i Special.!

The consolidated Cattle Growers Association of the United States assembled in annual convention at the Coates Opera House this afternoon. A little over one huadred delegates ware present, but they came from nearly every State and Territory in the Union. Tbe time until 3 o'clock was occupied by the cow-boy band oi Dodge City, who appeared in regulation frontier costume including-revolvers. Shortly after 3 o'clock, Mayor Kampf delivered a brief address formally welcoming the delegates to Kamas City, and he;was followed by 1 Ion. K. H. Allen, president of the Baard of Trade. President B. W. Smith, of the Association, and Dr. Ames, of Montana, replied on behalf of the visitors. W. II. Hines, of Michigan, was selected as temporary chairman after which the usual committees were appointed. Pending their reports, Norman J. Colman, Commissioner of Agriculture, was introduced, He began by saying that the cattle industry of this country, representing twelve hundred millions of dol'ars, was under a cloud of misfortune at present, but be was satisfied that the population of the country is increasing far more rapidly than Is the meat supply, and that this circumstance would rectify matters. He then proceeded to read a semi-official statement of tbe work of bis department In fighting pleuro-pneumonia. After summarizing the appropriations and tbe authority given by Congress to the bureau for tbe purpose of exterminating the plague, Mr. Colman said that he prepared a series of rules and regulations which he sent to the governors of the various States and Territories with tbe request that they co-operate in the observance of them. Thirty-one Slates and territories had responded and promired their assistance. He had also submitted to the State Legislatures an act providing for State co-operation. This bill became a law in Rhode Island, Virginia, New York and Illinois. In regard to the actual work of the department, he mentioned that Cook county, IlL, and a number of counties in New York and Maryland had been plated in quarantine. A circular had been issued to railroads asking their co-operation, and he was pleased to state that very effective assistance had been rendered by the railroads in refusing to ship diseased cattle, and in showing a disposition to kf ep their cattle cars clean and in good condition. From January 1 to October 15, of the present yeat, the inspector of the Bureau ot Animal Industry bad examined 12.6.V. herd?, containing 'J2fi cattle. Of these 478 herds, containing i;,tj cattle, were placed in special quaran tine, and l,LUi were lound to be diseased. Thia did not include the Chicago qnarantine. Mr. Colman, in saying that the disease had been eradicated from Cook County, 111., remarked that the quarantine wonld be removed about December 1, and and paid a high compliment to Professor Law of New York, who had charge of the work ; Dr. Salmon, of the Bureau of Animal Industry, and tbe Illinois State Bor.rd. Continuing, be eaid: Maryland and New York have been the worst hot-bed of the disease. For years it has existed in Maryland and defied ail attempts to extirpate it. Tbeciiiesof New York. Brooklyn and Baltimore and their suburbs have tor forty years been plague s iot whence the disease has r j-rotd to other pans of the country. But in Maryland, we now have things under control. The system which proved so succ essful in Chicago, is now In operation under direction of l"rof. Law and we have hopes ot entirely destroying it in a short time. The ccrumUsioner then read statistics of the number of herds examined and quarantined in Maryland, New Jersey and New York, and Epcke encouragingly of affairs in tbe latter State where the Legislature and Governor have invited the placing of the whole business under Government control. In regards to needs of the bureau for the next year, Mr. Colman said that about all that was necessary was a sufficient appropriation, as the work was progressing smoothly and systematically. In conclusion, the commissioner said : 1 have not alluded to the fact that the disease hs been stamped out In MUsouri, where one Illinois buil, coming into the State at l uitoa, caused a quarantine against tbe whole State and a loss to cattle men of $1,000,000. 1 have not alluded to the fact that it has been stamped out In Kentucky, wnere the amount ot loss whs Si.OOO.fXO. It has bten estimated that cattl d 'rease in the past forty-five years has cost .reat Britain $500.000,00: yet It exists there today In almost as bad a form as it ever did. They have strong laws, but they leave the execution of them to the local authorities. The diiease needs heroic treatment. In Scotland it is so bad to-day that upon my recommendation this country has declared a o.uarantlne against all Scotch cattle. It hss been my ambition to see the disease wiped out until not a trace of it shall remain, and within a year and a half I expect to have this ambition gratified. And I will say that it may be a wise idea to quarantine against all Europe, which has been the hot-bed of diseases which afterwards aflllcted this country. After paying a compliment to the cattlegrowers and the cattle of this country, tbe Commissioner retired. His paperas well aa all other matters pertaining to pleuropneumonia were made the special order tomorrow. Hon. Lajfayette Funk, of Illinois, was elected permanent chairman. There was a long debate on the appointment of a committee on resolutions, the point of difference being as to tbe s'ze it should be. It was finally agreed that seven delegates constitute the committee, and the convention at 4 p. m., adjourned until 10 a. m. to-morrow. Pktsbnrg .School Troubles. Pitts kcf;, October 31. Rev. James J. McTighe. the Roman Catholic Priest whoe election to tbe Principalsbip of the Thirty-third Ward Public School, caused such a stir recently in religious circles, has tendered his resignation and has ordered the Catholic chlldrea to return to the Parochial school.

THREATENING ANARCHISTS. They Resort to Anouymons Messages to Alarm the Law Officers. Chicago, October 31. Unwilling to rest their chances for a commutation of sentence of the Anarchists in the county jail, on legal technicalities, voluminous petitions ahd Titrolic diatribes, the Anarchist sympathizers have, according to most trustworthy report, descended once more to tbe use of that satantic and idiotic method of persuasion, tbe anonymous threatening letter, and during the past weeks Judge Gary, States-Attorney Grinnell and others connected with the famous trial, says this same authority, have been dailv deluged with missives of this kind. While the cfiicials themselves pay little head to thia cowardly form of attack, their wives have been made to sutler for them. Especially is this the case with Mrs. Grinnell, due to the receipt of letters in which the writers threaten in the event of nothing being accomplished to save the necks of the seven men, to kidnap her children. In consequence, she suffers mental torment when tbey are out of her Bight, fearful that the threats will be carried out. The police watch In the neighborhood of Judge Gary and Mr. Grinnell has been considerably atrenghtened, which, while adding some sense of security to the vicinity, nevertheless keeps the possible results of an attack on the houses ot tbe two officials fresh in the minds of the residents. Judge Gary himself treats the letters with contempt, characteristic ot tbe brave jurist, and pursues his daily routine Of du'ies With Undiminished Calm. Despite his attitude however, he is followed to and from his residence by a detective, ever ready to spring to his aid should occasion require, and an attack upon his person would have to be executed with skillfuljcelerity to be successful. Captain Black arrived from Washington this morning. Referring on the Anarchist case he Eaid if tbe decision at Washington is adverse, the strongest kind ot eCort will then be made to obtain clemency from tbe Governor. He thinks the revenge circulars published were concocted by enemies of the condemned. Admiral Porter's Keport. Wa?hi5(.toj?, October 31. Admiral Torter has made his annual report to the Secretary of tbe Navy. In considering the question of coast defences, the admiral statea the following harbors are entirely defenseless against a single iron clad: New York, Boston, San Francisco, Lake Ports; Hampton Roads. Norfolk, New Orleans, Philadelphia. Washington, Baltimore, Portland, Maine; Rhode Island ports, Key West, Charleston, Mobile, Savannah, Galvestion, Jeneacola, Wilmington, N. C.; San Diego, Cal. ; Portsmouth, N. H. ; to say nothing of many other places of importance. The heavy iron-clads could commence at tbe Eastern most point, and proceed along the coast to Texas, having them all under contribution. In time of war, says the Admiral, the torpedo system will be useless for defence in the absence ot proper fortification and guns. For the event of war, we are no more prepared than we were a year ago. although we have made a beginning to repair simply the waste in our navy for the past twenty-five years. In the opinion ot the admiral, tbe first step toward tbe protection of the coast should be the construction of a squadron of heavy iron-clads. The admiral argues at length in favor of subsidies for chipping, and points to the success of the system in Kngland, Germany and France. A Troublesome land Grant. WVlflKGTOIf', October 81. The Commissioner of the General Land Orlice has made a report to the Secretary of the Interior upon the status of the New York Indian lands in Kansas, in which he holds that these lands were reserved by treaty stipulation, and the reservation has never been lawfully extinguished. The lands were offered for sale by President Buchanan in August, 1M.O, and the Commissioner holds that whatever rights Bettlers and purchasers may have acquired thereby, none of the lands could be granted to the railroad companies which have received petents there for. He recommends that suits be instituted to set aside these patents. The quantities of landa embraced in this reservation which the commissioner holds have been unlawfully patented to the railroad companies are as follows: Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad Co., 1S2.348 acres; Leavenworth, Lawrence and Galveston, 42,85; acres; Missouri River, Fort Scott and Gulf, 227 acres. Tbe first two named roads jointly l,:::t7 acres, or about 22C,8:U) acres in alL The Blinky Morgan Trial. Cleveland, O., October 31. The testimony in the case of "Blinky" Morgaa on trial at Ravenna for the murder of Detective Hulligan, was in when the court adjourned to-day, and argument will begin to morrw morning. A genuine sensation was produced this afternoon when the prosecutor called for Mrs- Ann Smyth, of Allegheny City, in rebuttal. It was to Mrs. Smyth's bouse that the stolen fun were taken, and in her testimony last week for the defense she swore that she could not identify either of tbe prisoners as the man who rented her room or came to her house. When called to-day she said that James Robinson, one of the prisoners, was at her house the same day that McMann was arrested for tbe fur robbery; that Robinson asked for the other man. She eaid that she discovered after she bad testified last week that she had made a mistake. She had only seen Robinson in jail where the light was poor. When Robinson was brought into court, however, after she had left the witness stand, she recognized him. Mrs. Smyth made the correction in her testimony voluntarily.

To Walt In Chicago Cu til the United states Snpreme Court's Decision is Renlered Reliable Hearers. PiTTf nt'RG, October 31. An evening paper publishes the following sensational storA": A couple of well-known gentlemen averheard something yesterday that was rather startling. The parties referred to reside in Allegheny, and, being in the neighborhood of the Union Depot, boarded the Chicago train for the purpose of crossing the rivers. They took a seat in the smoking car, next to seat occupied by two men. Just before the train pulled oat of tbe depot an old man with a white beard entered the car, carrying a box about two feet long and ten inches square. He spoke to the two men referred to,;aud, seating himself on the arm of their seat, handed the box to one of them, and in a low voice that could be overheard by the two Alleghenians, said: "There's the box; now handle it carefully, for It wont take much to make it go off." This remark at once aroused the curiosity of the gentlemen who overheard it, and they at once began to pay the strictest attention to what followed, although apparently deeply encaged in perusing the papers which they were holding before them. The old man still retained his position on the arm of the seat, and was heard to say: "Now, vou both know what to do. Just as soon as you get to Chicago go straight to Tom's place on South Halstead street and stay there until tbe Supreme Court's derision haa been made. That will be about Tuesday. Then go to see Parsons and find out what he wants. Be very careful, though, to watch that box all the time." By this time tbe train had nearly reached the Federal Street Depot, and as its speed began to decrease the old man arose and gave a hearty handshake to each of his friends and said : "You don't need to be afraid about going to the jail, for no one there knows you, and remember, that no difference what happens they must never hang." The train stopped and with a hurried good-bye the old man left the train. The two gentlemen who had overheard what was said got up to leave the train also, and walked through the car in order to get a view of the two men who were apparently bound for Chicago. One of tbem was about thirty years of age, smooth face, blonde hair, and a fair complexion, with a German expression about hie features, The other was very dark and wore a heavy beard, and looked to be about fortyfive years old. lie was recognized as a man who bad taken a very active part In one of the meetings addressed by Mrs. Parsons in Alleehany last winter. He had been seen there by one of the parties who had overherd tbe conversation and who had attended the meeting referred to. His name, however, could not be recalled. The only inference io be taken from the incident is that the parties were interested in the fate of the Anarchists in Chicago and apparently have devised some plan for their relief and are counting on the inability of the Chicago authorities to recognize them as one of the prime factors to make it a succets. It would, indeed, be strange if a rescue of the imprisoned men would be attempted by Pittsburgers, or that bombs be used for the purpose of avenging them should be made in this city. The two gentlemen who overheard the incident are well known and their statement can te relied npon. Senator Frye's Opinion. New York, October 31. Senator Wil liam P. Frye, of Maine, is in town. To a reporter yesterday he said: "I have not the slightest doubt that Cleveland will get the Democratic nomination tor tbe rresi dency. A President who can violate every public utterance he ever made touching civil service relorm persistently and con tinuously, and at the same time satisfy the mugwumps that they did entirely Tight in voting for him on that Issue, is clearly en titled to the Democratic nomination." He said that the way he would deal with the surplus would be to spend it. He was asked if Mr. Blaine would be the Republi' candidate, and said: "My answer is, he will be if he desires to be." "Can be be elected?" Here the Senator hesitated for a moment and then added in a reflective manner: "I think his chances better than tbey were feur years ago, and I think: he is the strongest man we have." Still no News of the Vernon. Mawitowoo, Wis., October 31. Very little more is known of the lost propeller, Vernon. Diligent search has been made bnt no more bodies have been found. A fishing boat this morning picked up a life boat having the name Vernon on It. The boat had two holes in the bottom, but gave no evidence of having been occupied by any one. A pail belonging to tbe steamer was picked up by the tug Alba tross eight miles from Two Rivers, which WOUla indicate that II any bodies came ashore it will be at a point several miles south of here. Captain Seymore, once in command ot the Champlain. says that judging from tbe travel on the line when be was connected with it, about thirty-live people must have perished. The general opinion is that tbe disaster occurred near the treacherous Two Rivers point. 3leving on the Indians. St. Pacl, October 31. A Pioneer Press Ft.
