A GOOD CHANCE TOO DEMOCRATS Washington Politicians Think McClellan will Win Out GOOD REASONS ARE GIVEN The Democratic Candidate is a Young Man, Now a Member of Congress, But He Has Big Following In Metropolis. Washington. Oct. 9.—The impres sion here of those who have made point of keeping posted on the poli tics of the great American metropo lis is that the democrats are going to win in the coming municipal elec tion in New York. Tammany Boss Murphy appears to have succeeded so well in muddying the waters of the fusionists that they are regarded as hardly likely o recover in time to rallv with the co hesion of forces of opposition neces sary to elect the sleek and erudite Mr. Low. The situation, therefore, looks quite promising for the son of “Little Mac.” Mr. McClellan—George Briton Mc- Clelland, or “Colonel McClellan,” as he is sometimes called on account of rank obtained in the New York militia, is thirty-eight years old. He was horn in Dresden, Saxony, dur ing a visit of his parents in Germany. He was graduated from Princeton in 1886: has been a newspaper man, re porter and editorial writer on New York papers; is a lawyer by profes sion; was president of the board of aldermen of the city and county of Newi York in 1892 and 1893. He was elected to the Fifty-Fourth congress In 1896 and has served continuously since. Representative McClellan has not cut much figure in congress. He has rarely participated in the discussion of current questions He was a mem ber of two committees in the Fifty- Seventh congress—ways and means and library. Though a member of the committee handling the tariff sched uler he has not been, known to engage in any of the numerous debates on the subject. He has spoken occas ionally only when military topics were considered and on these showed a commendable degree of familiarity and accuracy of information. He is a man of agreeable address and of evident amiable disposition. He is nothing of a “mixer,” and his sem blance of popularity to be inferred fnoim hie 'nomination for so conspic uouis an office a mayor of Greater New York would, but for Tammany methods or making slates, he a mat ter of curious surprise to those who have observed him during his four terms of congress. But McClellan is a thorougii demo crat by conviction, education and in heritance. He is of high enough class to get many a vote of the silk stocking Murray Hill crolwd who are assumed to be all for Low. Shay Opera Company. One of the features of the Rose Ce celia Shay Grand Opera company which will be heard here Wednesday night is the chorus. Miss Shi3y per sonally selected every singer ir/ it from more than one thousand ices and it took more than a year iJ ioi get it together.

The orchestra of this really great organi zation is led by sigjior Carlo Nicosia who was for years the concert master of Mascpgni, the great composer.

ALASKAN FIGHT OP TO UMPIRES Arguments in the Boun dary Case Have Been Concluded AMERICAN’S GOOD ADDRESS Closing Speech of Dickinson for the United States Described as Bril liant Effort—Secret Meeting of Umpires Begin. London, Oct. 9.—The arguments in the Alaskan boundary arbitration were finished at 3 p. m., today. Mr. Dickinson concluded with an eloquent peroration, dealing with the bonds of amity between the United States and Great Britain. The wives and families of the com missioners and of counsel were p -ea ! ents. | John W. Foster, the agent of the' United States, thanked the British ! government in the name of the Amer ican government for its courtesy,' Lord Chief Justice Alverstone paid a tribute to Mr. Dickinson, and the 1 session broke up * i I The closing moments were marked by an intensity hitherto lacking in tho proceedings. As Mr. Dickinson finish- 1 ed his argument and commenced his' references to international relations and the other listeners appeared t.a grasp the true import of the pio> ceedinigs, which had almost been lost sight of in the puzzling technical de-' tails in which they had been shroud ed. *! “The tribunal,” declared Mr. Dick inson, “is unique and the treaty will entirely miscarry unless at least one member shall decide against the con tention of his own people. The fact that justice should be exalted aboi/e the plane where the sympathies that move men have sway, challenges the attention of mankind and distin guishes this tribunal above all 1 thers. It doesn’t follow that a failure to reach a decisioln will show that such faith was in aniy degree misplaced: but if a settlement is reached it will he a triumphant epoch in history. '“What could give higher inspim tion to those laboring for the peace of the world than the settlement of these issues, so pregnant of possibili ties? If the tribunal should render judgement unanimous it would be the strongest assurance yet given to hu-j manity that the Christian nations ere tending toward the only practical j realization of the poet’s dream of a] parliament of nations and a confer eration of the world.” Mr. Dickinson also paid a high trib ute to the opposing counsel and L: M Chief Jrustice Alverstone’s fairness. Lord Alverstone said he had heard many leading members of the Ameri can bar speak in arbitration and other cases; but Mr. Dickinson’s argil ent equaled anything he had ever heard, and he had not suffered by the fairness and impartiality with which he had presented his arguments.
