Price, ex-Surveyor-General of Arizona, und Chief Clerk "W. B. Murphy, jointly, were quashed. The showing on which the Indictments were killed was that the grand jury to which the cases were re ferred tho second time, earlier indictments having been dismissed on demurrers, had not examined the witnesses again, and had not ballotted for the new indictments.

After a remark able campaign. In which nearly all of the newspapers and practically every minis ter of religion In this city were, united against him, George B. McClellan, son of the Civil "War General, was today elected tho third Mayor of Greater Now York over Seth Low, Fuslonlst, tho present Mayor, by 61,414 votes. Edward M. Grout was elected Control ler and Charles V. Fornes president of the Board of Aldermen. These two men were originally on the Fusion ticket, and were indorsed by Tammany, whereupon the Fusionlsts took their names from the Low ballots and nominated other candi dates. -It was the nomination of Grout and Fornes by Tammany that caused Hugh McLaughlin, tho veteran leader of the Kings County Democracy, to bolt, and declare he would not support men who were not Democrats. In splto- of his de fection, McClellan, Grout and Fornes carried Kings County. The management of their campaign thero was taken over by State Senator Patrick McCarren when McLaughlin refused to aid. Small Devery Vote a Surprise. A surprise was the small vote for Wil liam S. Devery, ex-Commissioner of Po lice, who ran on an independent ticket, which was given practically no support The result shows a tremendous chango of public Sentiment since Mayor Low's election two years ago, when he won by 3L63L At that time he carried all the boroughs' but Queens, his plurality In Manhattan and the Bronx being EC63, In Brooklyn 25,767 and In Richmond 73C. Today. McClellan carried Manhattan and tho Bronx by about 50.000, a gain of 15,000; Brooklyn by 3500. a gain of 27,500, and Queens by about 5000, a gain of more than 4000. This makes a total net gain for McClellan of ""about 103,000, as com pared with Shepard's vote of two years ago. Low carried only one borough, Richmond, by about 200 rotes. Means" Much to Murphy. The victory, great as it is for McClel lan, Is of more significance to Mr. Mur phy, the Tammany leader, who made up the Democratic ticket and managed tho campaign. Defeat today would have meant for him deposition from his post of leader, with all its powers and oppor tunities, and the accession to control of another faction. Indeed, plans had been madeby certain Independent Democrats, based on the belief that Low would be re-elected, to reorganize the Democracy of the city with Tammany left out. To Mr. McCarren, also, the result meant much, for had McClellan lost McLaugh lin would havo been again in control, and McCarren and his friends would have had little to hope for. The carrying of Brook lyn for McClellan caused astonishment, as it was believed the cry of "no red lights In Brooklyn" would causo an In creased vote for Low In that borough. Campaign a Remarkable One.' The campaign was one of the most in teresting In the history of New York City. From the day Mayor Low was renomi nated, his supporters urged his re-election on the ground that no partisan question was involved, but every man should vote to uphold the existing administration be cause it had given the city a business like conduct of affairs, and because It had done much to stamp out the "red light" evil of the East Side. It was argued by Fuslonlst orators that the return of Tammany men to office would mean a "wide-open town," unre stricted in lawlessness, and the renewed terrors of the infamous "cadet system," by which Ignorant girls wero forced into lives of shame, their earnings going to men whom they supposed to be their husbands. Mr. 'McClellan was attacked by the speakers for the Fusionlsts because they alleged he had sold the name of his hon ored father to cloak the designs of evil men. To these statements the Democrats responded with the charges that Low's non-partisan claims marked an attempt to secure control of the city in the inter est of Governor Odell; that all tho credit of tho good business administration under Low belonged to Mr. Grout, who was on tho Democratic ticket, and that every Democrat should cast his ballot for Mc Clellan, in view of the Important bearing this clty3 vote would havo on tho Presi dential election next year. . Jerome Low's Chief Aid. Both candidates made nightly speeches. Low's particular supporting orator was District Attorney Jerome, who bitterly opposed the Mayor's renomlnation on the ground that he was unpopular, but who after tho nomination mado frequent speeches for tho Fusion ticket. For McClellan, Bourke Cockran returned to political activity and mado several speeches. Of tho five borough presidents voted for the Democratic candidates wera success ful In tho Bronx, where Haffen was re elected; in Manhattan, where Ahern had .a big plurality; In Queens, where Cassldy won the second time, and In Brooklyn, where Martin "W. Littleton had a larger plurality than McClellan. Littleton re fused to support McClellan, Grout and Fornes and lent his aid to McLaughlin in the tetter's fight against Tammany. In Richmond (Statcn Island) Cromwell, Fu sion, was elected. Returns From the State. Returns from tho state Indicate tho elec tion of Republican Mayors in Elmlra, Plattsburg, Rochester, Albany, Blngham ton, Watertown and Oneida. . In Oswego, Utica, Schenectady, Troy and .Amsterdam, Democratic Mayors wero elected. Returns from all Assembly districts of the state give the Republicans a net gain of seven In the Assembly. Tho Senate holds over and Is strongly Republican. Harvey "Watterson, son of Henry "Wat terson, of Louisville, was defeated by a very close vote In a strongly Republican district In Manhattan. Tho latest returns Indicate that the proposition to widen and deepen the state canals to admit the passage of 1000-ton barges has been carried by a -majority of about 175,000. M'CLELLAN ON THE'RESULT. Victory Should Encourage Demo crats to Unite in 1904. NEW YORK, Nov. 3. Mayor-elect Mc Clellan, who Is at present a member of Congress, made tho following statement, when his election was announced: "I am deeply gratified to my fellow citizens for their ijonfldoned- in ine. I renew the promises which I have made before election. I have no bitterness of feeling for any one. I shall go at once to Washington to prepare for tho extra ordinary session, and as soon as the ques tion of Cuban reciprocity is disposed of, I will turn my attention to the affairs of the city. "I Invite tho co-operation of every citi zen, whether he supported mo or not, and shall disregard political views In the advancement of the city's good. "This victory should encourage and unite all Democrats for tho Presidential contest In 1904." Low Congratulates Him. NEW YORK, Nov. 3. At 8:15.

"If I call a special session of tho Legislature to remedy the defective tax law, the date for the session will probably bo about a week before Christmas," said Governor Chamberlain, who returned tonight from his trip to Washington. "I have not yet determined whether I shall call a special session, and will not do so until I havo Investigated the con dition of tho finances of tho state, the several counties, cities and school dis tricts.

If it is necessary In order to protect public employes and others from warrant brokers and to prevent the crippling of the public service, I shall call a special session, but otherwise I shall not. I will probably decide what to do In the course of a week or ten days." Understands the Department. Governor Chamberlain Is not entirely satisfied with tho result of his trip to "Washington, and yet feols that his visit has been productive of some good. Both he and tho Commissioner of the General Land Office have a better understanding of public land affairs in Oregon, though ho and the department could not agree upon the point which was of greatest mo ment to Oregon's executive. "The principal purpose of my visit," said tho Governor tonight, "was to induce tho Secretary of the Interior to give a preference to purchasers of stato lieu land where tho state's titles have failed, so that tho purchasers could havo time to protect themselves by making their titles good with scrip or otherwise. The Secretary received mo very cordially and heard all that I had to offer In behalf of thoso who are about to lose title to lieu lands in this state. Secretary Has His Way. "He said that, however much he might desire to do so, he was powerless to give the preference I desired. I did not agree with him, and do not yet, for I have ob served that the Land Department is prac tically supreme in tho management of land business, and It seemed to mo that he could have granted this prefqrenco if he would. "The Secretary's opinion prevailed, how ever, and It seems that the only way for tho purchasers of these lieu lands to save themselves is to settle upon tho lands, take a relinquishment from, the state and file as homesteaders. Many of them can not do this. "While I was in Washington, or shortly after I left there, the department made announcement of a forest reserve policy which Is radically different from that which has prevailed in the past. The new plan has already been published in The Oregonlan's Washington dispatches. If that policy shall be pursued In the fu ture, T have nothing further to say against forest reserves, but If the old policy is ever resumed, I shall rise and protest as vigorously as ever. "I do not know whether the policy Is of very recent adoption or whether it has been In mind for some time, and has just been announced. I do know, however, that when the extensive withdrawals of public lands were made in the Blue Mountains, In Southwestern Oregon, in Southern Oregon east of the Cascades and in Northeastern Oregon, the people of this state had no reason to believe that any other policy would be pursued than, that which has prevailed In the past. Why the Cry Went Up. "Every forest reserve that has been created In the past has made 'scrip' by the wholesale for the large corporations, and by means of that scrip the corpora tions were enabled to take our best tim ber lands. When new reserves were pro posed wo had every reason to expect a renewal of the scrlpplng abuse. No won der that a protest went up In this state. "It Is announced now, however, that tho temporary withdrawals will not be made permanent until the laws govern ing the exchange of lands In the reserves for lands outside the reserves havo been amended so that worthless lands cannot be exchanged for valuable lands. If thl3 policy Is to be pursued, then I say the department cannot tie up too much timber land In temporary withdrawals. "If Congress falls to pass the remodlal laws as recommended, none of the re- (Concluded on Page 5.) -THE TIGER IS LET LOOSE? i A tiger in confinement, I do not think would flourish; He needs such lots of human hearts his hungry framo to nourish; I'm very kind to animals, and bo must let him ravage.
