Democratic Chances of Victory Greatly Enhanced by tlie Hew Method of Selecting Electors. Secretary Tracy to Ask Congress for an Appropriation of 000,000 for the New Jfary, The Political Onook The SoatVa Claim for Committeeahtp. 5VASHIXGTOS, Sept. 28. ISpeolsl.

Aa the time drawa near for the meeting of coa-frreaa the dlcuaslon of political topics becomes more defiojte and itraincant. Poll-ticiaua are constantly arririnc from all parts of the oountry, and frem tne views which they express and the Information wnicu thtj bare gathered, it Is beooining eaaier to forna opinions ooucerainc tiie con dittoes wfaioli are likely to determine the Isaues of the next presidential campaign. I hare talked with men to-day who hare riven some study to the subject recently. There seems to be no doubt about the fact tn at Blaine will be a candidate if the state of his tiraltb will render it practicable, and the latest reports coacerniuc his condition are to the edect that it is very much lm-prored. There ate several political lnct- uenia, nowever, wnicu may control nis eeurae without regard to nis health, and these are the results of the state elections in Iowa.

PunnsTlraota. Ohio and Xew Turk. The Democrats are confident that they will carry three of these atatea. and have a food chance lu Ohio. There ia tlioucbt to be bnt little doubt concerning: the elo ion of lower in Sew lorK, aud the bad nnancial management of the Republicans in Pennsylvania has greatly strengthened the Lemocrata in tlat tate.

If thia Mate should be loat to the Republicans it is likely that Mr. Blaine would not euter the held. If he should do so. however. Harrison's chances for a renominatlon would be considered very poor.

Of course, the most interesting question at present to the members of the bouse is the election of speaker. The issues which will coino out in the solution of this problem are so important that It makes the question a very serloua one. indeed. It is wit Improbable that the election of the speaker may be delayed beyond the usuhI time, and the difficulty of organizing the committees satisfactorily will be very great, aud may require a considerable period. In fact, whoever shall be elected speaker will have a very hard role.

There bare been occasions in tne past wnen' tne organization of the bouse was delayed for uioutus. General Banks, who was a candi date for that oriice in the thirty-tifth eon-greati against John Sherman, was not cfaoen until the 'id or February, ana the question was not decided in the tbirty -seventh ooa-grera until some time in January. The most important matter, however.wlll be the organization of the committees. It is a time-honored rule to promote to the chairmanship of the oommittees the senior ineuioers or tne time party as tne epeaxcr, aud Speaker Heed followed the rule iu the case of thirty-nine committees out of fifty two. The thirteen members whose claims were disregarded had all been opponents of Mr.

Keed for the speakership, except two. Mow, if the rule were observed, forty chair-manahips out of ttf ty-six would go to southern men, which would be bad politics, in view of the charge of sectionalism which would be made not only by Bepublloans but by disaatUtied Demoerata. Of the 233 Demoorstt in the house ef the Flfty-eeoond congress, 11T are from the south and 121 from the north; but the aggregate aerviee wf the southern members is 600 years as against 188 years for the 121 northern lemocrat Under the rule Ala bama and Texan would each nave six ehair- manalilpn, Mississippi four, and Louisiana and Arkansas one each. Bnt If Mr. Mills were elected speaker, of course be would not appoint six chairmen from his own state, and ao with Mr.

Criap. or Mr. Hatch. of Mirtsouri, or any other candidate. 80 la any event mere will, no aouDt.

Nbw Yokk, Sept. 28 A Washington special says: About SlS.OOO.OOO Is the sum tha nary department will ask for in lu annual estimate for continuing work on the new nary. This doe not Include anything for new vessels.

It is simply the amount required for meeting payments under existing contracts, whloh will be due during he fiscal year ending 1893. Of the amount la required for the construction of the vessels proper and $7,000,000 for machinery, armament and equipment. The secretary, it is understood, will espe-cinlly advocate this year tb construction of a number of fast torpedo boats and small, light draft cruiser. Most naval otheers would rather see th limited amount that is likely to allowed this year for additional revels ex ouded In several smaller craft, that can be built quickly, than to have all the amount centered in one large battle ship that requires yeara to build. It 1 con-aldered desirable to continue tb addition ef large ships but if there is to be only on choice the nary department decision will in faror of small ship, sneh as are now inoct urgently needed for serrioe in China and on tue Paeitia station -ships of the protected cruiser type, oapmole of moderately tncb speed, that can go from on port of the Pacido to another on ahort notice to look after American Interests, and at th sain time be serviceable la preying on an en, iiiy's commerce In th event of war.

An Interesting Baling os Bounty- Bgu tattoos. "WxsHiKOtox, Bept. 38. Special. An interesting question has corns under th sugar bounty regulations.

It seems that a Kansas Arm wbioU had taken out sngar producer license was dusolvei 07 th withdrawal of one of the partners. The question has arisen whether the old lioens will be good for the new firm. And if not, how can the commissioner lssn a new license, now that the period allowed by law for issuing license has expired The decision of the department is that tb business as regards rhe government, tuuat carried on under the old firm name, and tha bounty tuuat be paid to tbein. The members of the old tirui will be compelled to arrange among them el res as to the division of the money and secure thetnselr by indemnifying bon is. in riew of this complication the commissioner of internal revsuu will probably recommend to congress such modiheations of the law a will cover similar caeca.

Th Herald' thia morning print a special cable dUpatckt from It Valparaiso oorreapoadantj wfcw says: Nsws ot serious Import to th tTttlte4 States government and to American goav eraly reaches me to-day from Santiago. IS is to the effect that the leaders of th junta, for what reason doe not yet clearly appear, have for the laat few day adoptvt a course which has had the result of harassing Minister Egan. It may be the expression of resentment growing' out of tha uaia seizure, wuicn nas never pven ngnuy understood by the congresslonalista, but ha aroused a strong feeling ot anttpathF to the United States, or It may be the determination to make iteo unpleasant for Mr. Egan.cn account of the stories spread about his sympathies with Balmaocda.a oriva the minuter out of Chill.

These are only surmise. The fact is that the junta has been endeavoring to taduo Mr. Egan to give up all those who havs sought refuge In the United States legation. The Junta has gone even further thau this. It has put forth th claim that it aa the light to arrest anyone, no matter cf what nationality, wbo may be found on th street or anywhere else outside of ta four walls of th legation.

In keeping with thia claim a number of foreigners have already been placed undo arrest. Among them are three Americana, wbo were engaged In business hero. Tbe matter went so far that every person having occasion to visit the legation wa ordered to obtain a permit from the latecv eat before was allowed to go into tha plaoe. To eaf ore this rule a fore cf polics) were put on guard outside the legation and Satrolled the block day and night until i r-ay last, when Minister gaa entered moat vigorous protest to the whole proceeding. Hi manner was so arnest that th polio were withdrawn.

WABBTiraTOsr, Sept. 28. For tw bouts this morning th president wa la consultation with the representativ of th tas and navy departments. Secretary Tracy, who arrived In Washington laat Bight, a early a week before the data flx4 for als re-turn from the north, cam th white house early In the da. He was joined there by Acting Secretary Wharton, ot tha department of state, and General John W.

Foster, and later by Commedar Bass say, chief ot the navigation bureau. Who ha4 been summoned for the purpose. While no official Information upon th) subject can be obtained, there ie reason to believe that the administration is confronted with serious end perbap th res tr lying aspect of affairs in Chill. Since last Friday cablegrams eoucuvd In cipher have been passing between Washington -and Valparaiso. The official of tb state and navy departments, through whose hands these cablegrams have passed, refnso to make their content public.

It is gathered however, that they relate to affairs in Clu.i, and that serious complication hsve arisen, between the Junta and the United State representative in that country. At present the United States naval forrt in Chill consist ef one vessel, th cruiser Baltimore, commanded by Captain Schley. The Ban Francisco touched at Caliao. Peru, last week on her way northward, with Admiral Brown In command. An effort ws mad by the navy department to eommanv' cat with her, but she sailed for Aespuloo," Mexico, Friday, before tb cablegram reached her.

Her bottom 1 very foul, and. the vessel would bo almost unserTloeabla unless docked and cleaned. There are ao other modern vessels ea th Paeiti side that oould be dispatched to Chill, and it is assumed thst Commoder Ramsay wss called Into the consultation cy tbe president for tbe purpose of explalnlsg tbe exact extent of sh resource of lit navy department. It 1 conjectured ksr that the matters under consideration at tb conference were statements from Minister Egan and Csx-taiu Schley ef recent trouble la CLui, whioh are also eonjeetured to accord wit the special dispatches from Valparaiso, printed ta the New York Herald this morning. Tbe brief dispatch was to tbe effect that three United State citizens bad been arbitrarily arrested id Santiago by order cf the junta; that a cordon of police had been posted around the United States legation building; tbat access th legation had been controlled by th Junta, aad flnsilr bat tbe United State minister Chi wss being harassed aad annoyed ta hit efforts to care for American interest.

Jnst what Captain Schley had to communicate to the navy department cannot be learned from asy of th otllelal. bat It is surmised that It related to th treatment ef refugees, or that a bitter anti-American sentiment in Chili resulting from th seUursef the Itata has revealed Itself la hostile er unfriendly demonstrations toward the facers and men of th Baltimore. However toi may be it I certain that th ethciais cf tiie state and navy department are net alarmed at tbe situation, and If the conference was called to devise meaas of meeting any emergency, it is apparent that toe persona wbo participated ars satis Oed that tkla has been doue. JfO MOSS VESSELS TO BB BEST TO CHILL Secretary Tracy, while declining to max any statement relative to th eonf sreno at the whit house this morning, said that be did not intend to send any more shir to Chili, and that he did not regard the a. illation there a thrsatealng.
