DISAPPOINTED. BLAINE AND M’KINLEY ARE IhE RE PUBLICANS' CHOICE.) Democrat. Can Boo That Victory Ii In Tbolr Gra.p, While Republican. Aro Overcome with Gloom—Tariff Reform Bouhd to Bo the Democratic Watchword. Washington, Nov. 8.—The general feeling here is that the elections this week ami their results have smoothed the way for a Democratic victory in 1893. The president, Mr. Blaine and other members of the administration see this and they do not contemplate the figures of the last election with anything like satisfaction. They have seen the free coinage and Farmers' Alliance scares falling out of sight and tariff reform standing out boldly as the issue'with the certainty that a proper man will be the nominee of the Democratic party on a sound platform. The members of the administration make but a feeble attempt to disguise the fact that the losses their party have sustained are serious if not fatal. The thing Mr. Harrison was concerned about above all else was the election of Mr. Fassett. His vocabulary does not snpplyaterm strong enongh for his disappointment. Democrats are inconsolable because Mr. Campbell has been compelled to take, bnt there is acknowledged .atjcb in that result in the way of profit if the Democracy will not close their eyes to it. It holds the Bepnblicans to the rub ber tariff as an issue for which they mast contend, and it promises to elimi nate the free coinuge of silver idea from the fight in ’93. Thus sunlight can be seen through the only Democratic re verse. While the administration 'finds no solace anywhere, the New York San in an editorial leader prophesies that Blaine and McKinley will be the Re- mblicun ticket in '93. It is thought ere that the large Republican major ity in the Ohio legislature will invite a bitter fight between Sherman and For- akcr for the senate. WAR SHIPS WANTED.

Washington, Nov. 6.—The reported revolutionary movement in Brazil, ac compuuie.1 by a declaration of martial law and establishment of a dictator- Bhip. is likely to cause uuutner demand niton the already strained resources of the navy, for it is regarded as uecessafy for the protection of Americau interests that a United States naval force be at hand there in case of a formidable out break. The only vessels regularly at taclied to the South Atlantic station in the vicinity of the Rio de Janeiro are the Essex and the Tallapoosa. The first is an old wooden cruiser, and the second is worn out, unserviceable and offered for sale. The Boston is somewhere off the Bra zilian coast en route to the Pacino, *bnt it is not probable that she will be de tained. The Yorktown, however, was at Bahia, Brasil, Saturday, and she will probably be ordered by cable to re main there or return to Banfos, not withstanding the fact that she is also on her way to the Padfio station. Meanwhile the work of repair on tha Newark at Boston is being pressed, and in case of emergency Admiral Gher- ardi’s flagship, the Philadelphia, now on her way to the West Indies from New York, could be ordered by cable to proceed to Rio de Janeiro. Ship. Ordered Prepared for Sea, Nxw Your, Nor. 8.—Secretary of the Navy Tracy was in Brooklin and order ed Commandant Erben to get every ship in the yard ready for sea with all possible expediency. Other yards hare similar orders. THROUGH THE HEAD. M'KINLEV TALKS. He Give. His Reasons for Hie Success- ful Election. Cincinnati, Not. «.—A Times-Star Canton, O., special says: Major Mc Kinley said, speaking of the Ohio elec tions: "I am convinced that the jndg- ment of onr citizens doee not npprove the constant agitation in the tariff iaane in the face of the fact that it can ac complish nothing. It most sorely be apparent to all alike thpt the conditions, without which effective legislation is possible, do not exist. The Republican senate and Republican president are the bulwarks against which the free trade forces dash powerless, and with no im mediate prospect of a change in these conditions the only result of continued agitation ia to disturb business and retard enterprises which the new law designs to enoonrage. In spite of all the bill is working its way, and from being on the defensive a year ago, we are now on the aggressive. When bus iness is already good, onr people will not long tolerate movements which dis turb it in the face of the conditions I have named and yon will find that Re publicans and Democrats alike will call a halt on the men whose stock in trade is not a fair, square argument bnt jug- glingtniarepresentation. Ohio has gone Republican, and I accept the resnlt as indicating that the state stands bv the Republican party with fnll faith in its protective principles as embodied in the tariff law; and more thau this, Ohio stands, as she always has, in favor of a fnll dollar and a sound currency. " BERLIN BANK FAILURE. Firmer Took s Little Girl for Woodchuck end Killed Her. I Parkersburg , W. Va., Nov. 6.—The! following report of a terrible affair has been received here: A man named Wil son, a farmer near Wolf Snmrnit, who had been annoyed by the depredations of ground,hogs in his fields, went into the I woods near by where the woodchucks concealed themselves and set snares for| [the animals.

Rerun, Nov. 6.—The suspension of the firm of Hirschfield ft Wolff, bank ers of this city, caused a sensation in financial circles, bnt it was as nothing lo the late developments, it was re ported at the time the failure was an nounced, that the empress of Germany and Prince Henry of Russia were liable to lose a large amount by the failure, and that the minister of pnblic worship, Dr. Von -dossier, had lost his entire fortune, and that many members of the most aristocratic families were involved^ in the firm’s troubles. Under snch cir cumstances-a rigid investigation into the affairs of Hirschfield ft Wolff was only natural.

Indianapolis, Nov. 6.—During the- lost two months the surveying party sent out by the national govehunent has been at work locating the boundary line between Ohio and Indiana, which haa been in dispute. The work, under Professor Mendenhall,' has been com pleted and the surveying, party haa ita report rendy for submission. The facts found by tho surveyors aro, that the trae line as declared when Ohib was or ganized into a state commences twelve miles west of the present boundary line between Ohio and Indiana, thns making astrip200milles long and of the width of six miles—1,300 square miles, to which the state of Ohio lays claim. The strip described iuclndes the cities of Fori Wayne, Richmond and Uuion City, aud has a population altogether of about 300,000. Inquiry into thb causes that led to the juggling of these bound ary lines discloses that when Ohio was made a state there were post traders lo cated at Richmond and Fort Wayne who traded with the Indians, which they would have been compelled to re linquish if irt Ohio. Should Ohio insist and establish her right to the land, In diana wonld have the right to claim eastern Illinois. M’CARTHVITEB ATACKED.

Dr. Charles Tanner, member of par liament for Mid-Cork, called npon the sheriff and entered a formal protest against the quantity of stones laid abont in the street ostensibly tor repairing pnrposes. Mr. Tanner called attention to tne fact that in view of tho polliugin the election to be held for a successor to the lalo Mr. Parnell, these stones might be used with deadly effect by the McCarthyites and Parnellites. Dr. Tanner declared that he would li ivo an inquire mado into the mutter, and if it was discovered that tho stones had been laid in the streets with an ulterior ob- ject, he would i.isint upon the dismissal of the city engineer, who was responsi ble for having them placed nbout the city.
