PENSION OFFICE METHODS.Commissioner Ratim Proposes to Make
Some Changes In Them.
Gen. Raom, the commissioner of pensions, isengaged today in the preparation of an orderwhich is designed to systematize more com¬pletely the business of his office. The orderwill make such a division of the work that
j comes to the commissioner that the two deputycommissioners and the chief clerk will be ableto relieve the commissioner from a good deal of
I 'he business that uow devolves upon hiin. Adivision of the work was made when Col. Dud¬ley was commissioner, but it has not been ad¬hered to, aud at present the two deputies haveno well-defined duties.
A PRACTICE WHICH WII.L BE STOPPED.A number of cases have been brought to the
attention of Gen. Iiauin of claimants who havecome a long distance for the purpose of beingexamined by medical boards in this citv. Thecommissioner today refused several applicantsand stated plainly that he would not encouragethe continuance of such practice. In the ilr^tplace Gen. Rauni says that the claimant comeshere at great expense, aud in the second placeto order him for examination before a Wash-ington board is a reflection upon the ability andstanding of the local boards tftat have jurisdic¬tion of the case. If the local boards are notcompetent or are influenced by pr<juJice orfavoritism. Gen. Rautn saya they will be re¬moved and competent surgeons appointedin their piaces. Gen. Raum finds that thispractice has
LED TO ORKAT ABUSES.It has resulted in bringing men to this city whoaro absolutely penniless. They come to thecommissioner and say that they want their pen¬sions hurried through as rapidly as possible, asthey need the money to keep them from starv¬ing. 1 he only method by which these casescan be expedited is to make them special, andGen. Kuum thinks that it is better for thesemen to stay at home and take their turn withthe rest. He has not issued an order to thiseffect, but it is understood that he has reachedthe conclusion not to order non-residents of theDistrict before the boards in this city for ex¬amination. Hereafter it is said that onlv resi¬dents of the District will be ordered before thelocal boards, and that if claimants come fromoutside of the city for examination they willbe told to go betore the local boards.
GIVING UP HOPE.
Mr. Brown's Fruitless Trip to Rich¬mond la Search of His Daughter.The mystery surrounding the disappearance
of Belle Brown is no nearer a solution than ithas been. Saturday Mr. Brown went to Rich¬mond in answer to a telegram from the chief ofpolice of that city and saw the girl who was
supposed to be his daughter. The cirl inquestion, the officers state, is the one whocalled at Mrs. Dyson's house in Norfolk theday after Belle left her home. The officers arealso of the opinion that she is the girl whowent to Norfolk on the Lady of the Lake onthe 10th instant. When Mr. Brown arrived inRichmond and was told that the girl waB in aquestionable locality he concluded that shewas not Belle and was going to ret irn withoutseeing her, as he was sure thatif Belle was found she would be ingood company. He went and looked at thegirl, only to find that she was not his daughter.1 oday Mr. Brown did not even have a theory,and when seen by a Stab reporter he said thathe was like a ship at sea without a rudder.

THE DAT BEFORE THE FIGHT
Last Survey of the Political Pros¬pect.
OHIO LIKELY TO 60 REPUBLICAN.
Virginia to Witness the Hottest BattleSince the War.
THE BASEBALL MEETING IN NEW YORK
FIGURING IN OHIO.
Uncertain Quantities In the Calculation.Tlie Hott inn on the Result.
Special Dispatch to The Kvebiso Stab.Columbia. Ohio, No*. 4.
The political campaign in Ohio, so far as thespeakers are concerned, is closed. The c itn-
pai^n managers on both sidos have done tneirbeat and whatever the result may be the de¬feated p:-.rty cannot hold their state committeeresponsible. There is a nervous feeling ex¬
isting on both sides, as the uncertain quantitiesin the contest, which have much to do withthe result, cannot be estimated.
THE ELEMENT OF DOCBT.The republicans have no means of knowing
whether Governor Foraker Will suffer by thescratching process beyond the line of uoisy,disaffected republicans, or whether there is asilent force in every county that will show itsopposition to tlie third term by means of thev^st pocket vote. If the entire opposition tothe governor has been developed there would
i be but little difficulty in predicting to a cer¬tainty the plurality thatmight be looked for, butunder the circumstances a very close estimateoaunot be made.
THE DEMOCRATIC CLAIMS.While the democratic committee claim the
election of Mr. Campbell it is quite apparentthat there is very little certainty about any oftheir calculations outside of Hamilton andFranklin counties. They claim a full partyvote for the democratic ticket and the state ongeneral principles. So tar as can be judgedfrom information at hand it seems quite prot>a-i ble that out-.de of Hamilton and lrankl:n
i counties Mr. Lauipbell will be scratched withI quite as uiuch vigor as will Gov. Foraker.With anything like a full vote tlie most coii-
! servative republicans figure out a plura.uy ofat least 10,000 lor Foraker. Some const rvativedemocrats are uow inclined to concede thevictory to Foraker by a small plurality of trou.2.000 to 6.000 aud a republican legislature oujoint ballot.
WHAT REPUBLICANS ASSERT.The republican committee claim the election
of tlieir state aud legislative ticket by hand¬some pluralities, and say that their organiza¬tion is so perfect that it cannot be stampededwhatever may be the tenor ot roorbacks likelyto be sprung hereafter. As to organization itis generally conceded that the republicans havea great advantage, and as a rule their estimateshave proved far more reliable than those givenout by the democratic committee.Ohio i* a republican state, and with anythinglike a full vote the republicans hive the ad¬
vantage. That they will get out a fairly fullvote is probable, us they have the machineryand the means to do the work.
THE BETTISO.Foraker is a strong favorite among the sport¬
ing fraternity and premiums are offered. Prop¬ositions were posted today offering $500 to 4400on the governor. Some bets have been made$50 to $25 on the governor, and others that hewould have 10,000 plurality. F.W.S.
THE BASE BALL MEETING.AMomentous Contest Begun Amid Great
Excitement.
New York, Nov. 4..There was a big gather¬ing of bU'< ball players at the Fifth avenuehotel this morning. The first official step inthe great fight between the brotherhood ofbase ball players and the national league wasabout to be taken, and as a consequence allprofessional ball players were on hand tolearn the first particulars. The men who metat noon to discuss the situation composedthe grand council of the brotherhood. Theywere eight in number, James O'Rourke of theNew Yorks, Ed Hanlon of the Pittsburgs. Law¬rence Twitcbell of the Clevelands, George E.Andrews of the Indianapolis, A. A. Irwin ofthe Washington*, Daniel Brouthcrs of the Bos¬tons, Fred Pfeffer of the Chicagos and JamesFogerty of the l'hiladelphias.It is the annual meeting of the council, andthough the delegates are not inclined to speakof what will be doae. it is pretty well knownthat the advisability of establishing a brother¬hood league to fight the national one will bethe all-absorbing question discussed. Besidesthe delegates to the convention therewere gathered in the corridors ofthe hotel this morning Manager McGunnigleof the Brooklyns, Manager Burnliam of theWorcesters, John Whitney of Buffalo, JohnMorrill of Boston, Gen. Arthur Dixwell. JackKowe. A1 Johnson of Cleveland. John Ward,the president of the brotherhood: DirectorBillings of the Boston club, James Gore and anumber of others equally well known to tholovers of the national game.At the close of the_ present base ball season,
when the rumor that the brotherhood wouldfiglit the league was first started, the capitalistsand managers of the last named organizationlaughed at the idea and contemptuouslytermed it a big bluff. It was even boasted thatthe players would not dare to oppose theleague.
"
Gradually it dawned upon the leaguemagnates that the members of thebrotherhood meant business and itwas then that lawyers were con¬sulted as to their position in the trouble. Alegal opinion was rendered that assured theleague managers that legal proceedings couldbe instituted against players who violatedtheii contracts, I'his opinion does not seemto weigh heavily upon the minds of the dele¬gates this morning, aud it is likely that what¬ever action will be taken it will be done with¬out the opinion entering into the auestion.Among the late arrivals were Wood of the
Philadelphia. Mike Kelly, Tim Keefe, secretaryof the brotherhood council; George Wright,Will Collins of the Athletics, Buck Ewing.Owen Clarke, John Kelly. Roger Conner andManager l'owers of the Rochcstera.Shortly after 1 o'clock the delegates retired to
their room and the meeting was called to order.It is likely that a session of three or four hourswill be required for the transaction of busiuess.
How it Looks at Alexandria.Special Diajwtch to The Evkxixq Star.Alexandria. Nov. 4..The political combat
here deepens and the city committees of bothparties are on a "still hunt" for voters, and inthis way the most effective work is done. Theydo not. however, confine themselves to this,but bring the best talent they can get to ad¬dress the people from the hustings. SenatorBlair spoke Saturday night for the republicansand Senator Butler. Hon. John Goode and Hon.Frank Hume will speak, tonight for the demo-crata.There is a rumor among the democrats that
a train load of negroes will be voted here earlytomorrow and then run off down the road torepeat in several towns. Detectives, underorders of the Richmond democratic committee,are here to watch out for any irregularity ofthis sort.
Tin God* at War.Harttom>, Conn., Nov. 4..Twenty-four of
the twenty-eeven officers of the first regimentConnecticut national guard have resigned andthe other three are expected to resign ou ac¬count of Gov. Bnlkely having rented the regt-meutal armory for polo. It is rumored thatthe governor will refuse to accept the resigna-tion» and will declare the officers dishonorablydischarged for conspiracy and lnsubonl 1 nation.

. GREAT OKI I AIN WAR1IKL.of Our Inlluc.icc on South
Aiiicrlcan Trade.
London. Nov. 4..lhe effort which is beingmade by the Washington government to es'ab-lish more intimate commercial relations be¬tween the I nited States and the states of SouthAmerica has awakened on this side of theAtlantic a new interest in the latter countries.This interest is born partly of a half-detinedfear that the efforts of the United State* willbe successful and the trade which Europe hasbuilt up be diverted to North America. Mostof the English newspapers ridicule the possi¬bility of a combination between North andSouth America. The total yearlv loreign tradeot South America is estimated at ?T(W.O(i0.two.barely one-tiiih of which is done with the UnitedSlates. It is argued that this conditiou of affairsis maintained not so much on account of thetariff and navigation laws of the Lulled Suitesas from the absence of United Slates capital inSouth America, 'lhe enormous araouut ofEuropean capital is pointed to and also the factthat Europe has furnished in the last thirtvyears nearly two million settlers in variousparts of the country. Despite that most ofthese sjttiers come from other countries thanthe British Isles, English capital. English tradeand English shipping are supreme in SouthAmerica, and it is shown that financially andcommercially England has au immense stakethere. Thus while it is insisted upon that theL nited States has no possible chance of form¬ing an exclusive customs union with SouthAmerica the English are somewhat jealous andextremely watchful of the outcome of the Tan-American congress. Every movement of thecongress has thus far been reported here.
WILKIE COLLINS.The proposed memorial to Wilkie Collins in
