MAN LEY AS A PROPHET
Bepublieau CIi airman Predicts
Victory for His Tarty.
Snre Republicans Will Have a
Majority in Next House.
BALANCE OF POWER.
The Populists Will Hold It in
the Senate
Kew Yo?,k, Nov. 5. Joseph H.
Manley, chairman cf the Republican
national executive committee, gave
out an interview at tie Fifth Avenue
hotel yesterday. la it he say s that
wherever an election has occurred,
during the last five months, whether
in Oregon, in Vermont and Alabama,
in Maine, Georgia tr in Connecticut,
the result has been tha same. That
is the drift and tr.jnd ail from the
Democratic and ti the Republican
party and the cause, he says, is to
be found in tho diss tisfct;oa of the
people wit'i the present Democratic
administration.
After setting forth several acts of
the Democratic party, which, in his
opinion, have tended to produce this
dissatisfaction, Mr. Manley coutiuues:
"It is no prophesy to assert that the
Republicans will e;irry the majority
of the cori gressional delegate in
tweuty-six tt:iti;s out of the forty
four, and tii us have a 'dear majority
of the pttates in the next house of
representatives which will end all
efforts in the pre.si lential election 01
fc'3 of an attempt ho tiirow th elec
tion of president and vice president
into the house. It is "reasonably as
sured that thu Republicans will or
ganize tho next boiis- of repra -e a ta
tivtwi, having a majority varying from
ten to twenty-five. All indications
point to the defeat of Mr. Springer of
Illinois; II olruan, in Indiana, and
Wilson, in West Virginia.
"The Democrats Will lose, after the
4th of March next, their ascendancy
in the senate.
"Unfortunately, for two years the
Populists will hold tha bilanea of
power in the senate. Their number
will be increased to six. Gover
nor Tilimaa of Mouth Carolina (his
election to the saatu is assured),
will give them six members, and
there is every probability that the
Republicans will have forty-two sena
tors and the Derroerats forty after
the 4th of next March.
"Great as is the interest in the
election in every suction of the coun
try, Xew York is still the pivotal
state, and all eye i are turned ou t,
and, after all, it is the most import
ant in its results a" any election that
will occur on Tuesday.
"What is to be the result in New
York?" is the inquiry from every
quarter. From a careful survey of
the situation, taking into considera
tion all the diilerant elements and
forces at work, it does not seem
among-tho possibilities to defeat Mr.
Morton. It must ie remembered that
in the past twenty years the Demo
cratic party has never carried an
election in New York by a majority
greater than 50.003, nor has any par
ty for that matter, with the sing-la
exception of Cleveland for povernor
over Folger and t le defeat of May
nard last year, but these were phe
nomenal elections,; in the one case re
sultin? from a rf fossl of 200 000 Re
publicans to indorse its? party's action,
and in the other from nearly 100.000
Democrats condemning the conduct of
its own partv. The disalfection of
the Wheeler Democrats alone will be
sufficient to cause Mr. Hill's defeat."
Mr. Manlej- claims that the late
business ciepressit u will have its ef
fect and turn votes into thto the Republic-en
column. He also asserts
that the fia-ht against Tammany in
this city and state will have its effect.
"The revolution against Tammany,"
said lie, "will not. stop with simply
voting- th municipal reform t ket.
The people who are determined to
overthrow Tammany know very well
that their efforts will have been in
vain if they simply overthrow the
Tammany oraraiiintioii in the citv
End permit the Tammany organiza
tion to succeed m the state. They
must maks t heir work thorough and
pneoessf ul; they must defeat Grant in
the citv and taav must and will de
feat Hill in the state."

New Yobs, Nov. 5 Tha World saj-3
that during the past week it has been
in communication with the chairmen
of the Democratic and Republican
county committers throughout the
fetate. It presents a table giving a
resume of the clwras made by both
parties as to expected pluralities for
Hill or Morton, which indicates that,
according- to the views takn by the
chairmen of the various Democratic
county committee, David B. Hill will
win by l;i,fe2" plurality, while the
chairmen of the Republican county
committees, having- charge of their
party's canvas in tae sixty counties
comprising- the state, claim that Levi
P. Morton is to be the next governor.
They figure that he will have 5o,025
plurality. The World says:
"According to the Democratic esti
mates, Morton, it is conceded, will
carry the state entsiele of New York
county by about 8. 175. The Repub
lican's claim that Morton' plurality
above the Harlem bridge will be about
100 250. In other words, if Hill is to
be the next governor, he will have to
carry New York county by about
40,00-'), according- to the Democratic
estimates, or by upwards of 100,000 if
the Republican f gures us to the
probable result for the rest of the
atate are correct."

THE IN" COME TAX LAW.
rraparatioui liamg Mad to Carry It
Into KfTect.
Washington', Nov. 5. The work pre
! liminary to carrying- into elTc-ct the
j new income tax law is going forward
i as rapidly as its nature will permit,
j under tha direction of Mr. William
II. Pugh, who, in October last, was
appointed superintendent of the iu
come tax.
A number of complicated and interesting-
questions hive arisen under
former laws and anticipating- that
questions will arise in the future of
equal importance, it is essential for
their solution to understand what has
been the former legislation of cou-g-ress,
the decisions of the courts
and the rulings of the depart
ment upon the subject of the
income tax. With this view Mr.
Pug-h has been occupied sini-e
his appointment in examining- and
preparing- a digest of court decisions
and department ruling's under their
respective heading's. He has also
prepared a comparison of all the
former laws upon the income tax. ar
ranged so that all the provisions
heretofore made upon the subject
shall appear properly grouped acid
any one at a glance can see tne vari
ous changes and modifications that
have taken place.
There have been several acts upon
the subject of income tax. The rirst
was passed August 5, 101. Under
this act, however, nothing- was done.
The act failed to provide any pro
visions contained in the subsequent
legislation, both as to the subjects of
taxation and the methods of
collection. These were provided
for in subsequent acts.
The second . act was passe d
July 1, 13oJ; the third act, June :s 0,
1834; the fourth act, March 3. 1305; the
fifth act, March 2, lt-67. Under the
first act, SrioO was the amount re
fcerved from taxation and the rate of
tax was five per cent on all sums over
that amount. Under the act of July
1, 18G2, the amount reserved from tax
was as follows:
If the income exceeded StiOOand did
not exceed 810,000 a duty of 3 per
centum on tho amount above S00; if
said income exceed 810,000 a duty of
5 per centum upon the amojnt exceeding-
5500. Under the third act
So 00 was exempted and the duty 5 per
centum, on the excess; tinder the
fourth and fifth acts, $1,000 was free
from taxation and the amount of tax
was 5 per cent on the amouat in ex
cess of that sum.

knelt before the table. After the offering-
of prayers and singing of
hymns, the priest said: "Arise my ;
beloved; arise in the fear of God."
The princess stood up and said: "I i
vow to remain steadfast in the ortho- I
tlox Catholic church to my last breath. j
I vow that I acknowledge this faith
and rejoice in obeying its laws. As a !
sign of this sincere vow, which comes '
from my heart, 1 kiss the cross of the
Savior. Amen."
Then she knelt and the priest gave
absolution.

in which all the members of the czar's
family were named, the priest an
nointed the princess with consecrated
oil on the temples, eyes, nose, lips,
ears, hands and feet. Afterward he
touched thee parts with a sponge

music being the only kind em
ployed throughout. When the sec
ond ceremony was ended the Russian
consul formally acknowledged al
legiance to the new czar by kissing i
the woss held out to him by the

Town of Kin Cnun.
Yokohama, Nov. 5. Advices re
ceived here frota the front show that
there ha been heavy fighting ia the
country jnat north of Port Arthur.
The dispatches received are brief. and
are silent on some important points.
It appears that Field Marshal Oyama
divided hi forced. While one divis
ion landed n the east coast of the
peninsula north of T&llenwan, an
other division was detached with or
ders to effect a landing near Kin
Chow and to proceed thence and join
the main body of the army. This
operation was a complete success.
The Japanese encountered no Chinese
warships and the transports reached
Kayenno and disembarked troops,
guns, horses and munitions in safety.
Kin Chow, which i a walled town,
and which was believed to beheld by
a large garrison, was immediately at
tacked. The outer defenses were
carried by the Japanese after a few
hours' fighting. Tne Chines made
little further resistance and the Jap
anese were soon masters of the place.
In the meantime the Japanese fleet,
which had conveyed the transports,
opened a heavy fire on Tallenwan
and Kakuyo. The firing- scarcely
ceased for many hours. Covered by
fire from the ships the land forces at
tacked and captured Tallenwan in
brilliant fashion. The dispatch states
that the losses were heavy. They also
mention that an important naval en
gagement occurred Saturday, but
give no details.
Yesterday was the 42d anniversary
of the birth of the Mikado. There
will be great rejoicing to-day ever
the victories thus far won by tiie Jap
anese armies. Up to the tiina of
sending this dispatch there has been
no confirmation of the report of the
capture of Port Arthur.
Field Marshal Yamag-ata's army
continues its victorious march. The
division under GeneraJ. Tatsumi,
pushed forward and captu ed Fong
Wang Ching, as already cabled. Tha
enemy was scattered and tied In the
direction of Takusan, Katjoa and
Hotenfu. No fighting is mentioned
as having occurred at Fong Wang
Ching, but it is allesred that 300 Chi
nese were killed at Taikai.
FOBf Trans Ching- Barned.
Lotoox, Nov. 5. A dispatch from
Tien Tsin says that Fung Wang Ching
was burned by the Chinese. The de
fense of the road to Mouken has col
lapsed. General Hung, with the rem
nant of his army, is in the Mathien
ling pass between Fung Wang Ching
and Liaoyauy. Winter has set in.
Snow has fallen in Manchuria. The
dispatch adds that the Japanese clev
erly effected a landing at Pitzwo (Kin
chow), while making a demonstration
against the opposite coast of Shan
Tung. They cut the telegraph wires,
thus preventing the news from reach
ing the Chinese admiraj. A Chinese
tieet, consisting of fourteen warships
and a torpedo flotilla, afterwards
steamed to attack the Japanese, but
was recalled. It is believed that the
government is reserving the fleet for
more important service.

DIAGNOSING DISEASE
BLINDFOLDED.
Ildmarkable Career in th Cure of
the Sick..
Btldlnsss Aarrjitok at Ray fro su tne
. Dtaaur Platrnrsm of tbe Train.
CoL Robert Q. Olcott of London was
the guest cf the Chester club of Phila
delphia tho evening when the subject
for discus.ioa happened to ha our great
men. And. as CoL Olcott's mission in
this country was to investigate the his
tory of the different types of great
Americans, he was called upon to re
spond. "I will respond as to the physi
ciaas," eaid the Colonel in his English
brogue.
"My idea, gentlemen, of a great physi
cian is a physician who is capable, and
who does great things, a man of great
originality, quick in perception, cool in
demeanor, strong in his convictions,
forcible in the presentation of his belief
aud unbiased by sectarian prejudice,
whether it be in medicine, religion or
politics. The physician I refer to is cer
tainly a wonderful physician as well as a
remarkable personality.
"He seems to possess a great intuition,
which enables him to diagnose all dis
eases and describe these diseases with
out being told anything and without
asking any questions better than the
patient can tell him. 1 h&veseenhim in
more than 20 cases blindfolded, and in
this condition tell every person their
diseases in detail without asking a ques
tion. Consequently, when he doctors a
patient he doctors him for tha right dis
ease instead of experimenting with him.
I have Been him more than a dozen
times while thoroughly blindfolded read
a book as readily aa if he had the use of
his eyes. I don't pretend to say how he
does these things for I don't know, but I
do know that he does them.
'He examines thousands of sick peo
ple every year, and tells each and every
one their trouble without asking a ques
tion. Now it seems to me that a man
who can read the inside of a sick person
as he would an open book without ask
iug any questions is far more capable of
treating the patient than the doctor who
has to gueas at the disease from what
the patient m.iy tell him.
"The gentleman I refer to is Dr. R. C.
Flower of Boston, Mas. You have all
heard of him many times. He has thous
and of patients under his care. These
patients are distributed all over your
United States and in othsr countries.
Wherever Dr. Flower goes crowds gather
to see him of the incurable sick from
every part of the world. Inquiry at the
following hotels Riggs House, Wash
iigtoa, D. C. ; Exchange Hotel, Richmond,
Vs.; Kimball House, Atlanta, Ga.; St.
James Hotel, Jacksonville, Fla.; Tremont
House, Galveston, Tex.; Menger House,
San Antonio, Tex.; liicholieu Hotel,
Little Rock, Ark.; Guyosa Hotel. Mem
phis, Tenn.; Gault House, Lovisville, Ky.;

Hotel, Topeka, Kansas; Plankington
Hotel, Milwaukee, Wis.; Palmer House,
Chicago, HL; Cadillac Hotel, Detroit.
Mich.; Deniaon Hotel, Indianapolis,
lnd.; Grand Hotel, Cincinnati, O. and
the Continental Hotel in this city hav
all brought the answer that whenever
Dr. R. C Flower visits their hotels great
crowds of the sick and suffering come to
see him, and that the people who come
to see him are geuerally the most
prominent and wealthy people of the
country, representing all the positions,
business and professional, of life; and as
far as any expressions have been heard,
they have been that Dr. R. C Flower has
cured or ia curing them, and that he
told them their diseases without asking
a question.
"The physician who took Antonio
Casenero, the Cuban prince, and his
wife to see Dr. 1L C. Flower in 1S83, de
ft ribei to me the first interview between
Dr. Flower and the Prince's wife: 'You
need not tell me anything,' said the doc
tor as he took the woman's hand in his
aud looked directly into her eyes for a
minute. 'It is my opinion,' said the doc
tor slowly, that you were bitten by a
vicious cat some years ago and came
very near losing your life from the in
jury. Shortly after this occurred you re
ceived a blow on your left breast. Soon
a lump appeared. This in time was pro
nounced a cancer and you had it cutout.
It soon returned with four or five other
growths, and are under the arm. You
have had at leaat two, and I believe three
operations. Your case is now considered
by physicians generally as incurable.'
'You are right in every particular,'
said the woman, 'but how did
you know these things.' 'Never
mind how I know them. I see you
now have seven or eight growths coming
in the breast around the edges where the
operations were performed and two un
der the arm. Your disease has now reach
ed a state where you are in constant suf
fering.' Without delay the doctor filled
a hypodermic needle with a mixture of
lachesis, permanganate of potash, thy
mol and reaned green tincture of stillen
ger, and made an injection info bach
growth. These injections he repeated
every third day for three weeks, wheu
every trace of the cancerous growths
were gone. He treated the system con
stitutionally for eight months, from
which time Mrs. Casenero has enjoyed
perfect health,
"The minister to the United States
from one of the leading South American
republics told my worthy friend on my
left that he believed Dr. R. C. Flower, of
Boston, was inspired of God to cure the
sick when all other efforts failed,
tht he and his family were
patients of Dr. R. C. Fower, and
his treatment of their cases was
miraculous. I hold in my hand a
letter from the late ex-Governor Bighop
of Ohio, in which he says: 'if miracles
have ever been performed in modern
times then Dr. R. C Flower of Boston per
forms them daily. I have seen him ex
amine scores of patients without asking
a question and then tell each one iu de
tail his trouble. I have seen men aad
women sick unto death with cancers aud
tumors, after given up by the leading
medical skill of this country to die, cured
by Dr. it C. Flower in a short tiui with
out the kaife, without pain aud without
blood. 1 have seen the same wonderful
cures of paralysis, rheumatism, heart and
urve troubles.' The governor closes
this letter liy savin?: 'Tnere are several
brothers in the Flower family whose
lives are full of promise. B. O. Flower,
lie youngest brother, is the popular edi
tor of the Arena, but there is but one Dr.
R. C. Flower, and there will
'ever! Keverl Xeier!
Um aojt'aer. lie has built up his re.eut

the largest aad most extended practice
in the world. Of this great practice h

"It was Dr. B.C. Flower who fourteen
years ago cured in this city the presi
dent of tbe Pennsylvania rsilro.tl of
hopeless paralysis. From that day t ;,.
his miraculous cures have startled your
country at frequent intervals. r-jih
cures as that of Miss Ella Rotts, South
Norwalk, Ct, from helplessness to p.-rffct
use of her limbs; Mrs. A. T. Lonely t f
Washington, D. C, of malignant i. : r . 1
growth of the womb, and all of tln-)
cures permacsnt. His recent cur.-s f
such men aad women as Dr. 1. 1 '.

trouble of the utomsch; of Mh. Jlienu

dence beyond dispute that Dr. II. ' '.
Flower in the treatment and euro oi
chronic diseases is a master; that mi nt of
his cures are men ar.d women i- iven up
by other physicians as incurable. Dr.
Flower is the head, tha examiner and
consulting physician of this great prac
tice, while the treatment and details tw
attended to by his aiociates.
"Your worthy secretary who has known
Dr. II. C. Flower for many year?, hn
told me many an interesting bit of i,n
history while he wa-i in the practice m"
the law. For, as some of you know, th j
doctor was educated for law, pnu iu i
several years, lost his voice, went iri'o
the practice of medicine and has ncvi-r
been able to quit it. it was in lsiS
(twenty years ago) that Dr. R. ('. Flower,
not a practicing physician then, mm-.
called to Mobile to defend a man
under arrest, charged w ith ansuu. Af:r
a desperately fought case he Buccfi'Jc.i
in acquitting his client On Lis return
north at a little station south of Frank
lin, Tenn., a mob of infuriated men stir
rounded the sherill. who was endeavor
ing to get a negro on the train. A t :. 1
Band men, many of them with i;m; on
their faces, cried out:
Ilanglliiu! II miff U i iu !'
A rope was thrown around hi nok, 1
in another moment he would havi bei-u
swinging to a limb, wheu ii. C. Flower,
moving his hand, cried out lroia the rear
platform: 'Gentlemen, hear me li-furu
you hang this man. You are eouthern
men, and I am glad as such to ad ir-M
you. This great crowd is represented by
soldiers who a few years ago worn both
the gray and the blue. Your record
were those of courage, of during and
valor. You were brave men then, r, i 1
believe you are brave men toddy. Yo i
are southerners; meu of chivalry, uiu
easiiy excited, quick to resuut an evil,
but, gentlemen.
You Are Not Murderers,
And I don't believe you want to murder
this man in culd blo-id You don't vsnnt
to establish a precedent of mob 1 v ,
which iuay some day be visited upon
some of you. Let the law, I beg :.
take its course. You will feel better i
you think it over; better w hen you go to
your beds tonight, and better in ta ri
lence of your last night on earth.' At
this the leader of the mob cried out a
he threw the rope down: '1 reckon yo i
are right, young man. We will l-t th
law take its course,' and the shbritf Lm
tied the frightened negro into the f ar."
But enough. Col. Oicoit only fx
presses what thousands know, and if Dr.
1. C. Flower should ever return to tb
practice of law he would at an early day
carve his name on the highest round . 1
a great reputation.
The great interest tbe world now- Ion

healer, when all others fail and doatU
approaches.
He has been the one hope and rs-u-i
for thousands of the sick and dyintj in
