The congressional district Is almost ns close , and but little will be known of the result until after the returns nro In. The returnj of the past two or three years have i shown plainly that neither party can claim . an absolute cinch on the result.

Early In the campaign the democrats and populists claimed the universe for their Jim. linger would not be elected If nobody was running against him. But In the past few weeks a decided change has come over the spirit of thrlr dream , and Sunday and yester day one man xvas looking for somebody to bet $100 $ that Hager would have more than 2.000 majority. This Is n fair Indication of the growth of Hager's boom under the ac tive and untiring campaign ho has made all over the district. Yesterday , as a last resource , an effort xvas made to bolster up Weaver's collapsing prospects by circulating Ing broadcast the following letter : CHICAGO. Oct. 10. My Dear General Weaver : The laboring people throughout the country feel n profound Interest In your present canvass. They know that your elec tion to congress means that they will Imve a champion In the houre of representatives who will sacredly guard and fenrlessly de fend their Interests. With thousands of others I unite In the wish that you may be triumphantly elected. Believe me always , my dear general , yours faltlifullv. EUOUNI2 V. DEBS. This letter came from the general offices or the American Hallway union In Chicago , and It was expected that Mr. Debs , as presi dent of the union , would exert a mighty Influence I over the members of the order. But there Is good reason to doubt this. The railroad men would undoubtedly have treated Mr. Debs as supreme dictator had this wish ot his been made knoun last July. But a little ' thought on their part has caused a different state of mind to-arise. "Debs ordered several thousand of us out on a strike last summer. " said one of the fellows , with patches on his trousers , "and since we lost our jobs we have been wonder ing Just how vnuch right ho has to dictate which way we L.'mll vote. " And the Impression with this particular voter seemed to be that ho would do as he pleased nbout voting for Weaver , In spite of Debs' -ulshes In the case. DEMORALIZED DEMOCHATS. Ye-strrday afternoon the fact became eip- parent that the democratic ticket was In a very precarious condition , and that the chances for a part of It , at least , being snowed under were excellent. The consequence quence was that word was sent out tp all the outlying townships that everything waste to bo done to defeat the republican county candidates , at whatever f'spenso might be necessary. Even General Weaver wna not to be spared , Instructions were given that ho was to be traded oft freely for candi dates on the county democratic ticket. This shows that the report first circulated In the campaign , that the nomination of Weaver was merely an expedient and not the re- suit of a feeling thru he represented demo cratic principles , wns correct , No effort will bo made to elect him , ami he ulll lie slaughtered right and left In order to make a democratic sweep for the county.

General Weaver made tlie closing speech of his campaign last evening at the opera house , which was crowded to suffocation with n perspiring crowd , One little diversion hap pened early In the evening for which the concessional committee had not prepared , nnd came near causing n riot. II was Just after the speaker commenced that a little Oil democrat , who had filled up on pre-elec tion enthusiasm , took exception to something or other. Wending his way to the front of the balcony , ho extended a forefinger In the direction ot the general nnd shouted In a volco that made the seats creak : "you're a liar , " A dozen fellows sprang to their feet and called upon the rival orator to "shut his mouth , " which , however , he refused to do fem any great length of time. He Insisted on making a speech , and It was not shut oft un til : some one with more mechanical Ingenuity than the rest twined the hook of a cnne around the obstreperous man's neck and pulled hint down. Ha was bundled oft down stairs and handed over to the police. After that the speaker wan not Inter rupted. Ho went on with an apology for his ) , | record , for the purpose of proving that the term "Jumping Jim" was not BO ap plicable . ' to him as some people seamed to think. He admitted that he had belonged to almost every party at one time or an other , but he Insisted that It was principle and not convenience that made him choose his political anillatlons. He told the same old story of his war history that was trotted out before the audience at Fair- mount park on labor day. Comparing the uniforms worn by himself and Congress man Hager during the war , he folded up his handkerchief In three cornered fashion and gave It to the breezes to Indicate that linger was too young at that tlmo to do much fighting. At this n number of ladles who had apparently heard General Weaver for the flrst time left the hall , saying that they had expected to hear a gentleman speak. And all the faithful whooped and yelled , From every standpoint excepting at tendance the meeting was not the all round success that the demo-pops had hoped for. Look at the prices !

Verdict for Ilvfcmhiiit In I'rcnolicr CampI I f > ilt for Dnmtgo * . After having been on trial for fourteen days , the suit of Larrabeo M. Campbell against Frank C. Johnson has ben dis posed of , the Jury returning a verdict for the defendant. This is one of the cases which has at-1 traded considerable attention In the courts. I owing to the prominence of the parties , the plaintiff being a Methodist preacher and the defendant one of the main stays In the Citizens' bank of this city. Some years ago all of the parties lived over al Randolph , one of the little towns In western Iowa , where Johnson bad a country bank and Campbell preached In a little church around the corner. While there , Campbell alleged that Johnson became Intl-1 mate with his wife , one Jlattle Campbell. and that on account of the Intimacy his family was broken up , n divorce being the result. On this showing Campbell brought suit , alleging that ho had been damaged In the sum of $50,000 , by reason of the fact that the affections of his wife had been tampered with and effectually stolen away. During the trial the defendant contended that It was a case of blackmail and that the preacher and the woman were con i- spiring to get a large slice of his wealth. Last Saturday the case went to the Jury and yesterday the verdict was presented , an agreement having been reached early Sun day morning.

I'I re In n I'rlMito llotrl In Ilurtfonl-Om- IVnm MI Injured. HARTFORD , Conn , , Nov. 5. At 1 o'clock this morning the police had accounted for all who were In Miner's boarding house last night when that structure caught lire. The only one Injured was a young woman named Hattle Thomas , who was painfully burned about the wrists while making her way , from the burning roof to that of an adjoin ing house. The losses will aggregate $75- 0 0 , with about 90 per cent Insurance. The origin of the fire Is a mystery. Tha ftro originated In the Neal , Golf & Infills building , 428 tn 432 Main street. The ( lames were flrst seen bursting through the Ilrst floor nt the front of the htore , nnd soon tlie entire front of the large ( je five-story brick building was enveloped In llamuB. A general nlarm brought all the apparatus and the llames were teen Gil buck Into the Interior , Many ct the ts of O. II , Miner's boardinghouse at 432 llnln street had a narrow escape. At 7:20 : Fred Grcsbcck , n clerk In the furnishing store , entered the building nnd lighted the urns. Neither he ncr the policeman , who hml Just made his rounds , found any slf.ua of a lire , but It Is thought by some that he dropped a match. The bursting out of the heavy glass windows of the store gave rise to a theory of an explosion of the gas meter or an oil barrel. l-'lro In u May Hum. P1TTSBUHO , Nov. 5.

Tliroe Ailj-ilnlni : Houses Which the An- nrchlHts llnd HH.IHOII to AttncK. LONDON , Nov. 5. A squad of detectives itrpm Scotland Yard Is busily nt work ln- ' | vcstlgatlng the bomb explosion which oc curred last night at the residence ot Hon. Reginald Brett , two doors from the resi dence of Sir Henry Hawkins , one of the justices of the queen's bench division of the high court of justice , and for whom the bomb Is supposed to have been Intended , Colonel Sir Edward Bradford , the chlet commissioner of police , Is personally directIng - Ing the matter. The scene at Tllney street at daybreak this morning was one of extreme excitement. The whole neighborhood seemed to be In posses sion of uniformed police , who kept back the crowd of sightseers who have flocked to the spot. Many o the residents ot the locality were so alarmed by the explosion that thej I i fled from their homes nnd have been too i i frightened to return. Consequently the resi dences have been under pollca guard since I last night and \\lll BO remain until order Is restored. A number of the residents were , ' however , willing to return if the police had permitted , but until the official investiga tion ts completed the police thought It ad visable to keep everybody away from the scene nnd so many householders , their fami lies and servants , stood shivering behind the police lines during the early hours ot the i morning. So soon as there was light enough for the work , Colonel Majendle , the chief Inspector of explosives , directed that photographs be taken of the scene of tbe explosion from all points of view , and all the fragments of the bomb , splinters , etc. , were taken by the po- lice to the home office for examination The police have no definite theory as to the origin of the explosion , with the exception of suspecting the man from the Savoy hotel. But the authorities are busy running down four theories which may any one of them connect the suspected man with the outrage. In the first place the police are Investigat ing the theory that the explosion was the work of some person who sought revenge for some decision rendered by the late Lord Ejher , master ot the rolls and father of Hon. Reginald Brett , in which case , according to ( he police , the author of the explosion must bo sought after among the many criminals who have appeared from time to tlmo in the rolls court , who may have entertained malice for some Imaginary grievance. The second theory ls.itlint Mr. Brett may have In some way excited the animosity of the dynamiters. > The third theory of the ipallco Is that the outrage was the result of the recently an nounced determination fit the Irish physical force party to commence an active dyna mite campaign and that ( he explosion was Intended as some sort of o.nptlce or warning to the home secretary , Herjry Asqulth , whose residence Is next door la fhat of Mr. Brett , but which Is tenanted by 'Mr. Horace West , the secretary ot Mr. As/juUK. Then again it.It Is thought Mr. West hlmtelt may have In curred the cmmlty of anarchists or others nby bys his refusal nt some time1 to bother Mr. As qulth with anarchistic appeals or to transmit to him the demands of.me'rqbers ' ot the Irish revolutionary party. , , , Some plausibility Isgiven this theory by the tact that as exclusively cabled to the Associated press on Saturday last , the Scot land Yard authorities then had evidence lat the Irish physical force party was planning Immediate campaign. This activity , It was claimed , was In consequence of the reply of John Morley , chief secretary for Ireland , to the deputation -which called on him last ck | In reference to the release of the Irishmen now serving terms of Imprisonment In Eng land , under the treason-felony act. The fourth theory Is that the cutrage Is of anarchist origin and that It was directed against the residence of Juillce Hawkins who. in addition to trying and condemning the WalUall anarchists , has tried and con demned the majority of ( he anarchists ho have been brought Into court during the ist ten years , and who has been threatened repeatedly peatedly since the trial of the two Italian anarchists. Ferns r a and Poltl , who , on May 4 last , wore sentenced respectively to twenty and ten years Imprisonment. The Dally News says a long anarchist manifesto was. Issued In London a few days ago. Unax printed on colored paper and was couchfd In violent , but faulty Kngllih. uJu was headed : "Death to Judges ; Death to Jurors ; , " nnd said , among other things : "Comrades , revenge Is n duty.

A dispatch to the Pall Mall Gazette front Llvadla gives another de scription of the official reception of Princess Altx Into the Greek church. It says In sub stance : Princess Allx entered the Imperial chape ) InSh a white dress , nnd was led by the empress. She read aloud the articles of faith. Next came the pater nester and prayer by the czar's ' confessor , Father Ynccheff , which the princess followed. Father Ynechcft was fol lowed by txvo assistants bearing n jeweled bottle which was carried on a rich tray , containing the cacrcd oil with which Father Ynechcft nnnolntcd the kneeling ncophlto upon the head , breast , hand , and on the soles of her Icct , at the same tlmo giving Jier the new names of Alexandra Fedorovna. After the service the czar nnd czarina par took ol holy communion with Princess Allx. The empress looked careworn. The princess of Wales has been with her sister , the czar ina , ever since her arrival at Llvndla on Sat urday evening. The czarina and the princess of Wales occupy the same apartments. The czar and prlnca and princess of Wales will leave Llvadla on Thursday at noon , ar- rlvlnc at Moscow on Saturday , where the body of the late czar will lie In state through out Sunday.

LONDON , Nov. C. The Dally News says that the Chinese minister has Imparted to the foreign office China's desire that the powers mediate with Japan for peace. The minister has gone to Paris , to mnke n similar . request of France. In a leader commenting on the forecolng the Dally News Bays that the Chinese have npnroached the powers with the terms of pence she will offer Japan. This Is a formal renewal on a larger scale of the overtures made to the queen's ministers n month ago , Lord Rosebery's course could not have been more completely and conclu sively vindicated. No European power can well desire to prolone this disastrous con flict. Even the I'- - ! States , despite the Monroe doctrine , mii t be concerned for the regularity nnd security of Its great trade with Japan. It will be difficult to contend that Interference Is premature now.
