i
' The Constitution’s Estimate of
I Thursday Morning is En
tirely Too High.
I'jThe Associated Press, City,
.1/ Gentlemen: The Democratic esti
| mate given out by the morning papers
I was evidently well padded, for the
■ purpose of cooking the returns under
jthe claim of an increased majority.
[Phis is thoroughly demonstrated by
semi-official reports received by me up
Jo this hour, 12, noon. My instructions
Sieve that only, official and complete
Bturns shpvld be wired me. Hence we
’ill not receive any returns until this
Hternoon and night. Nine counties
five reported showing a Democratic
loss of 1150 from figures given out by
democratic morning papers. At this
' latio Atkinson’s majority could not be
.yer 20,000;' but in heavy Populist
(bunties have not been reported we
confidently expect this majority to be
wiped out. Unless the Democratic re
turning boards illegally throw £>ut
Populist precincts as has been done
heretofore.
A partisan registration law has been
used as a tremendous instrument of
fraud. Copies of the lists were refused
Populists in nearly every county and
bogus and doctored lists sent to Popu
’*■, Jist precinis thereby disfranchising in
Isome instances 20 to 50 per cent of
the legal Populist vorters. Reports
show the negroes voted solidly aginst
us in nearly every county I confident
ly believe Wright is elected on a fair
•ount of the vote as cast in spite of
tremendous frauds. Respectfully,
John D. Cunningham,
Chairman.

ONLY A PRACTICAL JOKE.
There Was No Bomb Explosion In the City
of Paris, as Reported—Officials Talk.
Paris, Oct. 9. The prefecture of po
lice has issued a denial of the report
published in several newspapers saying
that a bomb had been exploded upon the
Place de la Concorde. The authorities
say that the report grew out of a prac
tical joke. Some one placed a simple
firework petard at considerable distance
from the route of traffic, and its explo
sion caused no damage.
The municipal council of Paris has
received a dispatch from the municipal
council of St. Petersburg setting forth
that “the whole of the population of
the Russian capital is profoundly moved
at the reception, so cordial, magnificent
and imposing, which France is giving
to our beloved czar.”
Continuing, the message says:
“The municipal council of St. Peters
burg makes itself the interpreter to
Paris of the St. Petersburg sentiment,
while appreciating the full import of the
event for the universal peace and hap
piness of nations. Vive la France; vivo
la Bussie!”

THECZARINGAYPAREE
His Majesty Given an Enthusi
astic Reception.
ACCOMPANIED BY THE CZARINA
The Royal Couple Went at Once to the !
Ruslan Embassy, Where They Will Re- '
•ide During Their Stay at the French
Capital—Welcomed by President Faure :
and Other Notables.
Taris, Oct. 7.—The czar and czarina
arrived bore safely from Cherbourg at
10 a. m. The weather was fine and the j
countless decorations showed up splen
didly in the sunlight. Their majesties
were accorded a most- rapturous recep
tion and reached the Russian embassy,
where they will reside during their
visit to this city, at 11 o’clock. The
crowds began gathering along the route
of the procession shortly after daylight,
and by 8 a. in. the neighborhood of the
Avenue du Reis de Boulogne, the Place
de I’Etoile, the Avenue des Champs
Elysees, the Place do la Concorde, the
Pont de la Concorde, the Boulevard
Saiut Germaine, the Rue Saint Simon j
and the Rue de Granville, on which the
Russian embassy is situated, were 1
thronged with enthusiastic people. A
double line of troops held the route
from the railroad depot to the embassy
from shortly after 7 o’clock, and tho
soldiers were reinforced by lines of
gendarmes, sergeauts-de-villa and de
tectives, the latter including a number
of agents of the Russian secret police
and picked men from the nihilist detec
tive corps.
Tho decorations eclipsed anything
Been in the French capital. Russian
and French flags, floating side by side,
predominated, but the trees, balconies,
lamps, and auythng and almost every
thing was utilized. The trees, bared of
their natural foliage by the autumnal
blasts, were thickly covered by artificial
leaves and flowers, representing peach,
almond and other blossoms. Postral
columns, 40 feet bight, painted to imi
tate stone and surmounted by Russian
doubleheaded eagles, each 6 feet high
and supported by imperial columns
lined the Champs Elysees. The Place
de I’Hotel de Ville was made brilliant
with the Venetian masts and colonades
decked with paper flowers, and the
Tuilleries gardens were decorated with
flags and statues.
, Special Train Reaches Versailles.
Tho special train of the czar with the
president of the senate, M. Loubet; tho
president of tho chamber of deputies,
M. Brisson; the premier, M. Moline, and

A BIG BATTLE AT GUANO.
Cubans and Spaniards Fight—Eighty of the
Former Ruled and Many Wounded.
New York, Oct. B.—A dispatch to
The Herald from Madrid says: Havana
telegrams bring the report of success
ful operations that have been started
against Maceo by Colonel Granades.
Acting in combination with General
Barnel, he left Pinar del Rio on Oct. 9.
On arriving at Guano ho found tho Can
tabrian battalion defending itself
against the attack Os 3,000 rebel infan
try and 800 cavalry sent from Lomas
Blanca by Maceo.
Surrounded by the enemy and har
rassed by the cavalry, the position of
tho battalion was desperate, and was
only saved by the opportune arrival of
Granada’s column, which, attacking
vigorously, broke the insurgent circle,
obliging them to retire toward Caja
Toro. The encounter lasted five hours.
The rebel loss was 80 killed and many
wounded. The Spaniards lost 12 killed
and four officers and 88 men wounded.
General Barnal, commanding 800
men, fought the whole of Maceo’s forces,
occupying good positions at Lomas
Ceija Negro. The. light lasted all day,
resulting in the enemy being driven
from their positions and leaving 100
dead on the field. The wounded are
said to be over 200. Among the Span
iards, Colonels Marcial anil Romero and
Adjutant Barnal, with 18 men, wero
killed and nine officers and 65 men were
wounded.
CLAIM M’KINLEY’S STATE.
Democrat, Say Ohio Is Wild Tor Free
Coinage of Silver.
Washington. Oct. B.—Tho people at
Democratic headquarters were in high
good humor during tho day. They had
heard from Ohio, and tho news that
they had received was apparently of tho :
most cm 'uragin.r nature to them.
“Wo have get Ohio sure,” said Assist
ant Secretary Mi J. er. “You never saw
such letters as we are receiving from
there. The state has gone wild for free
silver. We get about 2,000 letters a
week from Ohio, and during the last
two or three weeks these reports from
every section of state tell of Repub
licans declaring for silver and Bryan.
“I have several thousand names of
Republicans who have come over to our
side and are calling for campaign liter
ature. There are Bryan and Sewall
clubs in Ohio composed entirely of Re
publicans. I tell you, McKinley is go
ing to be beaten in his own state, and
Bryan will be the next president.”
The fact that the Democratic commit
tee is receiving so many reports from
Ohio lends color to the rumor that the
combined silver forces are making a de
termined stillhunt with the hope of
capturing McKinley’s own state. The
Republican managers in Ohio claim not
less than 100,000 majority, while here |
in Washington their figures on tho state ;
only reach 50,000.

■GREAT NOVELIST GONE
’ George Du Maurier, Author of
“Trilby,” Dies In London.
HEART DISEASE WAS THE CAUSE
Surrounded by Friend' When the End
r Camo —Talked of the Success of His Hook
During Hi, L.ist Moments—Had Been
Hoverinjj Between Life and Death For
' Several Days.
London. Oct. B.—George Du Maurier,
, the artist-novelist, author of “Trilby,”
I died at 2:30 a. m. His end was pain
. less and he passed away surrounded by i
; friends.
! The illness of Mr. Du Maurier was
•pathetic in the extreme. For days he I
, had been hovering between life and j
‘ death, at intervals conversing with his
friends regarding his work. Upon one
J occasion a friend at the dying man’s
j bed referred to the success of the
■ “Trilby” book, and as a play, where
i : upon Du Maurier replied:
i | “Yes, it has been successful. But
the popularity has killed me at last.”
j One of Du Maurier’s friends, who
was present at his death, said:
“He died almost as tragically as
j Svengali. At the zenith of Trilby’s
■ fame Svengali became ill with an affec
tion of the. heart, and Du Maurier has
gone the same way. At the zenith of
his popularity tho author has succumbed
to heart trouble, from which he has al-
; ways suffered, his suffering being ac
centuated by the constant success of ex
citing incidents, in which the closing
few months of his life were spent.
w Checks rained in upon him as his old
heart trouble increased. This, accom
' panied by an affection of the lungs, took
■ him off.”

JOE DUDLEY NOW ON TRIAL.
Ho Is Charged With the Murder of Robert
H. Browning, lu April, 1895.
Selma, Ala., Oct. 9.—The ease of the
state of Alabama against Joe Dudley,
charged with the murder of Robert H.
Browning, in April, 1895, is being tried
in the circuit court. Some difficulty
was experienced in securing a jury.
The trial will recall the tragedy en
acted in Henry Cassia’s store, on Wa
ters street, Friday, April 26, 1895, in
which Edward A. Dudley and Robert
H. Browning met sudden and terrible
deaths. The parties to the tragedy
were in the city to attend the trial of
James Minter for the shooting of Souk
Dudley, the father of Edward and
. brother of Joe, several weeks before.
I Browning and W. H. Sneed, his
friend, were standing at the counter
I near the front of Cassia’s store, whoa
I Ed Dudley entered, and, it is claimed,
j brushed against Browning. Dudley,
I without stopping, •walked to the water
■ bucket in the rear, followed by Brown
• ing. Words ensued aud both men
opened fire with two pistols each.
Sneed took a hand and was stopped
by Sheriff Kennedy, who ’was close by
