It was the intention of President Goff, who presented the electrical appliances, to lhave ten lamps of 8,000 candle power each sns-' ponded in the air, as on the Hell Gate tower. The effect of this system of lighting would be a blase of light around, the torch which could be seen for thirty miles, and would illuminate the entire statue to the base of the pedestaL Nxw York, Nov. 5.—Since election the Henry George party have been talking freely of contesting the result, bat a compromise among the supporters of the Labor candidate was effected by which Mr. Hewitt's election is not to be contested, although a number of his supporters are to bo arraigned on charges of alleged bribery, intimidation and assault Twenty-eight lawyers met in Mr. George's headquarters in the Colonnade hotel. Gideon JTT Tucker was elected president, A. A. Levy vice-president, F. C. Leubusher secretary. , The first work done by the lawyers was ttD organise a committee on complaint. Then fifty-sir men who had been waiting streamed in and made their statements, fbith were taken down in shorthand. They swore to cases of intimidation, bribery and asasult on the part of Democratic and Republican workers and policemen, which they said they had personally witnessed. Several bruised heads were placed la evidence in the assault cases. Counsel were assigned in every case and suits will be brought. Committees on membership and on legislation were also appointed.

Mc- Carthy, Father McGlynn, Louis F. Po*, Rev. J. H Kramer, Professor Molmo and Henry George held a long conference about the new party last night Mr. George said that he Would probably write an open letter to Mayor-elect Hewitt, but declined to state its contents. Alleged bribery and Intimidation will probably be eommentsd upon. The Central Labor union campaign committee held a meeting last night and considered the question of forming • permanent organisation. It was agreed to faeue a call to the districts to send delegates to a convention, which will be held at an early date, when a permanent party will be formed. None of the district clubs have been broken ftp, and the leaders state that they will keep up the agitation until the next election. Chairman John McMackin said: "This is not the end of this movement, and you win see that by the time the next election takes jdace we will have an organised Labor party eC]ual to cope with the other political organisations."Louisville, Nov. 5.—Specials to TlDe Courier-Journal from Covington state that Carlisle has an assurod majority of 300, with 5 precincts yet to hear from, the vote of which oannot materially alter this estimate. As a result of the conference the statement is given out officially that the Knights' representatives withdrew all the grievances of the strikers at Troth's mills, with the exception of the one relating to wages, which will be referred to arbitration. This was agreed to by the aid committee and practically settles the difficulty. Arrangements were also made for the settlement of future questions and a set of rules to guide both employer and employe agreed to by the manufacturers, and the Knijfhte' committee. will be satisfied if Mr. Carlisle is elected and they hold the house. Nothing is said at the White House exoept that they are well satislied with the result. Friends of the administration say they think that, taken altogether, the result of the election shows a healthy condition, and cannot in any way be, construed Mnto a set back for the administration. The tendency, they say, seems to be to distribute the strength of the party over the country, and take from it all sectional character. The rains in Minnesota, Colorado, Nebraska and Massachusetts, and the gain of a congressman in Pennsylvania, they say, offset the disruption In the south. The men who have been defeated have not been oonspicuous friends of the administration. Quite the contrary has been the case. The only place where it might be said that the administration was squarely the issue was in Massachusetts, and there very satisfactory gains wars made. In Virginia, where the DemocMts lost so heavily, the candidates were conspicuously opposed to the president and civil ser- North OareiinsL, where the Democrats lost two congressmen, one of the men defeated uras the ante-administration candidate who was nominated over Mr. Cox. The force of the whole Protectionist organisations, they ■ay, was used against the conspicuous civil service reformers. Besides this, Mr. Mor-rison was opposed to the administration, so was Holman, so was Warner, of Ohio aad Whan the lighting of the statue was placed In the hands of the lighthouse board Lieut. Melis, who was in charge, decided not to place the electric lamps outside the torch. A number of holes were cut in the torch, and the lights were placed inside. The lenses were so regulated that the light was confined acid made visible only at long range. By Lieut Melis' plan the powerful light can only be seen faintly from the harbor. From the Battery and the Brooklya bridge it looks like a glow worm and loses the brilliant effect of a blase of fire such as was intended by M BartholdL To remedy 1|»e loss of light on tha statue Lieut Melis placed at the angles of the parapets lamps which .weqa provided with reflectors to throw the light up and illuminate the statue and pedestal. By a Ihtianapous, Npv. 5.—The returns so far make a very material change in the situation in this state, and show that the Republicans have carried 55 representative and 19 senatorial districts, while the* Democrats have carried 45 representative and 31 senatorial districts, giving the latter a majority sf 1 on joint ballot This trill ensure the election of a Democrat to succeed Harrison in the United States senate.

If the returns fall under the estimates a part of the Republican ticket will be defeated. Complete returns were not received up to noon Unlay. The Democrats claim that the counties unreported will show gains, and that a part if not all of their state ticket is elected. Indiana In the Balance.

A Poor Kan's Idea. POLICEMEN IN DISGUI8E Restore Ordor at a Bod Flat Mooting la New York. Nkw Tobk, Nov. 5.—Mrs. Parsons, wife of the condemned Anarchist, spoke to a large gathering at the Cooper onion last night It was clearly an audience of "Reds," and flags «f that color were profusely distributed about the hall Resolutions denouncing everybody connected with the Anarchist trial a Chicago we-e adopted. A remark by tbe chairman, denouncing The Staato Zeitung for its attacks upon the Anarchists, was greeted by howls for the expulsion of a reporter for that paper who was present. There was considerable confusion for a while, and the reporter looked uncomfortable. Bome men in citizens' clothing interfered to restore order, and these proved to be policemen In disguise. The discovery of this fact had a mollifying effect upon some turbulent spirits who were in the crowd. Mrs. Parsons, after requesting persons near the doors to take their hats off and stop smoking, delivered a long and quite eloquent attack upon the "factory czars, railroad kings, Pin&erton thugs and coal and iron barons." Harr Hasselmann, ex-member of the German relehstag, also spoke. miscalculation in this the statue Is shaded a»4 darkened by the protruding base, while the stone pedestal stands out brilliantly illuminated. The effect of the light in the torch is also to throw a shadow which obscures the hqad and shoulders of the statue at night The unsatisfactory result of Lieut Melis' The Knights at Chicago. •Chicago, Nov. 6.—Yesterday in the different Assembly meetings of union men employed at yards an order was read from Master Workman Butler, calling out the beef meB by Armour & Co. It b the general opinion, however, tuk Armour's men will disregard £he order and remain at work. If they do so .they will be discarded by the Knights of Labqr.

Lcmomru, Nov. 5,—It Is reported here that Democratic congreasmah elect CaruthJ? who has a majority of about 160 in this, the Fifth district, is so dissatisfied with the result that he will resign his prospective seat, In otter that the district may be contested again. The district is usually about 7,000 Democratic, and the light vote potted Indicates that a large number of Democrats refrained from voting, believing that their candidate would, as a matter of course, be elected by a creditable majority. On the other hand the Republican organization was better than ever before known, and their candidate received the full party vote. Similar conditions undoubtedly prevailed in each of the three Kentucky districts in which the regular Democratic candidates ware defeated. plan of lighting was predicted by electricians before the torch was altered. Gen. Schofleld and the American committee now" see the mistake made by the lighthouse board and are considering plans ta rectify it One project is to place a powerful lens behind the light and reflect the dim rays toward the Battery. .This change will cost about $16,000, and must be dons at the expense of the lighthouse department An objection to this plan is that wherever the reflector is placed It will cut off the light from that quarter.

While the party ware going through Colorado, Mangus jumped through the car window and ran some distance before he was recaptured.

Mr. Ridgeway had 30,000 copies of the sermon circulated among the Germans, and captured nearly the entire German vote. To a reporter a snearher of the American oommittee said: "It was my idea to hare the electric lamps put outside the torch, so as to give a brilliant effect As It is now the light is very feeble, except from a neat distance. This is a mistake. It it very unfortunate that the statue is thrown into the shade: I had in mfbd to place a row of lights at the top of the pedestal, and in this way to hrightea the effect When the subject of lighting the statue casus upGeo.

Nxw York, Nov. 5.—The unsatisfactory effect of the present method of lighting the statue of Liberty has caused the authorities in charge of the matter to consider plana far changing the light The electric plant was given by the American Electric Manufacturing company, who prepared to place the lamps on the balcony outside of the -torch. It was the intention of President Goff, who presented the electrical appliances, to lhave ten lamps of 8,000 candle power each sns-' ponded in the air, as on the Hell Gate tower. The effect of this system of lighting would be a blase of light around, the torch which could be seen for thirty miles, and would illuminate the entire statue to the base of the pedestaL Nxw York, Nov. 5.—Since election the Henry George party have been talking freely of contesting the result, bat a compromise among the supporters of the Labor candidate was effected by which Mr. Hewitt's election is not to be contested, although a number of his supporters are to bo arraigned on charges of alleged bribery, intimidation and assault Twenty-eight lawyers met in Mr. George's headquarters in the Colonnade hotel. Gideon JTT Tucker was elected president, A. A. Levy vice-president, F. C. Leubusher secretary. , The first work done by the lawyers was ttD organise a committee on complaint. Then fifty-sir men who had been waiting streamed in and made their statements, fbith were taken down in shorthand. They swore to cases of intimidation, bribery and asasult on the part of Democratic and Republican workers and policemen, which they said they had personally witnessed. Several bruised heads were placed la evidence in the assault cases. Counsel were assigned in every case and suits will be brought. Committees on membership and on legislation were also appointed. The tow commltee will meet every Monday night and the sab-committee on grievances will naet every night Professor David B. Scott, Professor De Leon, ex-Senator Eccleaine, Her. D». Mc- Carthy, Father McGlynn, Louis F. Po*, Rev. J. H Kramer, Professor Molmo and Henry George held a long conference about the new party last night Mr. George said that he Would probably write an open letter to Mayor-elect Hewitt, but declined to state its contents. Alleged bribery and Intimidation will probably be eommentsd upon. The Central Labor union campaign committee held a meeting last night and considered the question of forming • permanent organisation. It was agreed to faeue a call to the districts to send delegates to a convention, which will be held at an early date, when a permanent party will be formed. None of the district clubs have been broken ftp, and the leaders state that they will keep up the agitation until the next election. Chairman John McMackin said: "This is not the end of this movement, and you win see that by the time the next election takes jdace we will have an organised Labor party eC]ual to cope with the other political organisations."Louisville, Nov. 5.—Specials to TlDe Courier-Journal from Covington state that Carlisle has an assurod majority of 300, with 5 precincts yet to hear from, the vote of which oannot materially alter this estimate. As a result of the conference the statement is given out officially that the Knights' representatives withdrew all the grievances of the strikers at Troth's mills, with the exception of the one relating to wages, which will be referred to arbitration. This was agreed to by the aid committee and practically settles the difficulty. Arrangements were also made for the settlement of future questions and a set of rules to guide both employer and employe agreed to by the manufacturers, and the Knijfhte' committee. will be satisfied if Mr. Carlisle is elected and they hold the house. Nothing is said at the White House exoept that they are well satislied with the result. Friends of the administration say they think that, taken altogether, the result of the election shows a healthy condition, and cannot in any way be, construed Mnto a set back for the administration. The tendency, they say, seems to be to distribute the strength of the party over the country, and take from it all sectional character. The rains in Minnesota, Colorado, Nebraska and Massachusetts, and the gain of a congressman in Pennsylvania, they say, offset the disruption In the south. The men who have been defeated have not been oonspicuous friends of the administration. Quite the contrary has been the case. The only place where it might be said that the administration was squarely the issue was in Massachusetts, and there very satisfactory gains wars made. In Virginia, where the DemocMts lost so heavily, the candidates were conspicuously opposed to the president and civil ser- North OareiinsL, where the Democrats lost two congressmen, one of the men defeated uras the ante-administration candidate who was nominated over Mr. Cox. The force of the whole Protectionist organisations, they ■ay, was used against the conspicuous civil service reformers. Besides this, Mr. Mor-rison was opposed to the administration, so was Holman, so was Warner, of Ohio aad Whan the lighting of the statue was placed In the hands of the lighthouse board Lieut. Melis, who was in charge, decided not to place the electric lamps outside the torch. A number of holes were cut in the torch, and the lights were placed inside. The lenses were so regulated that the light was confined acid made visible only at long range. By Lieut Melis' plan the powerful light can only be seen faintly from the harbor. From the Battery and the Brooklya bridge it looks like a glow worm and loses the brilliant effect of a blase of fire such as was intended by M BartholdL To remedy 1|»e loss of light on tha statue Lieut Melis placed at the angles of the parapets lamps which .weqa provided with reflectors to throw the light up and illuminate the statue and pedestal. By a Ihtianapous, Npv. 5.—The returns so far make a very material change in the situation in this state, and show that the Republicans have carried 55 representative and 19 senatorial districts, while the* Democrats have carried 45 representative and 31 senatorial districts, giving the latter a majority sf 1 on joint ballot This trill ensure the election of a Democrat to succeed Harrison in the United States senate. Official returns from 68 counties, and estimates on the ftD- nv dning 34 at Republican headquarters, gtfve Robinson, Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, a plurality of 1,337. If the returns fall under the estimates a part of the Republican ticket will be defeated. Complete returns were not received up to noon Unlay. The Democrats claim that the counties unreported will show gains, and that a part if not all of their state ticket is elected. Indiana In the Balance. N«W YiQRK, Not, &—In the electrical department of the American Institute fair, now being held In this city, (re aeveral new inventions intended to reduce the coot of the electric light Among them ia one by a poor mechanic named ft. P. Clark, who reside* in Oswego, If. T. Mr. Clark haa devf)t«d twelve year* to the study of electricity, and his latest invention is a dynamo which, by including aq additional msgnaHo field within the ring armature, nearly doubles the number of lights per machine of a given sisa without any additional cost. A Poor Kan's Idea. POLICEMEN IN DISGUI8E Restore Ordor at a Bod Flat Mooting la New York. Nkw Tobk, Nov. 5.—Mrs. Parsons, wife of the condemned Anarchist, spoke to a large gathering at the Cooper onion last night It was clearly an audience of "Reds," and flags «f that color were profusely distributed about the hall Resolutions denouncing everybody connected with the Anarchist trial a Chicago we-e adopted. A remark by tbe chairman, denouncing The Staato Zeitung for its attacks upon the Anarchists, was greeted by howls for the expulsion of a reporter for that paper who was present. There was considerable confusion for a while, and the reporter looked uncomfortable. Bome men in citizens' clothing interfered to restore order, and these proved to be policemen In disguise. The discovery of this fact had a mollifying effect upon some turbulent spirits who were in the crowd. Mrs. Parsons, after requesting persons near the doors to take their hats off and stop smoking, delivered a long and quite eloquent attack upon the "factory czars, railroad kings, Pin&erton thugs and coal and iron barons." Harr Hasselmann, ex-member of the German relehstag, also spoke. miscalculation in this the statue Is shaded a»4 darkened by the protruding base, while the stone pedestal stands out brilliantly illuminated. The effect of the light in the torch is also to throw a shadow which obscures the hqad and shoulders of the statue at night The unsatisfactory result of Lieut Melis' The Knights at Chicago. •Chicago, Nov. 6.—Yesterday in the different Assembly meetings of union men employed at yards an order was read from Master Workman Butler, calling out the beef meB by Armour & Co. It b the general opinion, however, tuk Armour's men will disregard £he order and remain at work. If they do so .they will be discarded by the Knights of Labqr. Their refusal to oome out will settle the strike, for oo the refusal being known to the strikers it is stated the latter will at onoe apply to )m taken took. Carutfe Mot Satisfied. Lcmomru, Nov. 5,—It Is reported here that Democratic congreasmah elect CaruthJ? who has a majority of about 160 in this, the Fifth district, is so dissatisfied with the result that he will resign his prospective seat, In otter that the district may be contested again. The district is usually about 7,000 Democratic, and the light vote potted Indicates that a large number of Democrats refrained from voting, believing that their candidate would, as a matter of course, be elected by a creditable majority. On the other hand the Republican organization was better than ever before known, and their candidate received the full party vote. Similar conditions undoubtedly prevailed in each of the three Kentucky districts in which the regular Democratic candidates ware defeated. plan of lighting was predicted by electricians before the torch was altered. Gen. Schofleld and the American committee now" see the mistake made by the lighthouse board and are considering plans ta rectify it One project is to place a powerful lens behind the light and reflect the dim rays toward the Battery. .This change will cost about $16,000, and must be dons at the expense of the lighthouse department An objection to this plan is that wherever the reflector is placed It will cut off the light from that quarter.

Kansas Crrr, Nov. S.—Mangus Head, chief of the Chiricahua Apaches, and thirteen bucks and squaws, passed through this city under guard, en route to Port Marion, Fla. While the party ware going through Colorado, Mangus jumped through the car window and ran some distance before he was recaptured. Then he obtained a knife and stabbed himself in half a dozen places, inflicting serious wounds. He afterwards attacked bis interpreter, striking the man about the head with the shackles on his wrist During the consequent uproar the train started, carrying off all the party except the interpreter, who was left behind. A Bad Indian. Elected by a Sermon. It is the intention of the American committee to continue to light statue until Jan. 1, when it is expected that congress will make an appropriation for foal Brooklyn. Nov. 5.—At a Democratic Jollification meeting last nlgM Mr. Bell, the Democratic candidate for congrees in the Third district, said ha believed that he had been elected, and be proposed to contest the matter with Mr. White. Mr. Ridgeway, who was fe-elected district attorney Tuesday, declared that he had been g&atly assisted by a sermon*' preached against him by Rat. Theodora L. Cuyler, last Sunday, accusing him of being in favor of opening beer saloons Sondays. Mr. Ridgeway had 30,000 copies of the sermon circulated among the Germans, and captured nearly the entire German vote. To a reporter a snearher of the American oommittee said: "It was my idea to hare the electric lamps put outside the torch, so as to give a brilliant effect As It is now the light is very feeble, except from a neat distance. This is a mistake. It it very unfortunate that the statue is thrown into the shade: I had in mfbd to place a row of lights at the top of the pedestal, and in this way to hrightea the effect When the subject of lighting the statue casus upGeo. Schofleld suggested that the matter be given over to the lighthouse board, and wa acquiesced. From that time we had nothing more to do with it Whatever have been made are not ours.

These diffloultiss, be thinks, come from the fact that the theological fitness of candidates for missionary service is determined by the board through its prudential committee. Of late, owing to the committee's; supposed attitude {toward certain theological questions and theological seminaries, there has been dissatisfaction.
