CAST LIGHT VOTE
Bad Weather in Ohio Keeps
Many Voters at Home.
THE RESULT IS HARD TO FORETELL
Intense Interest In the Contest In Ken
tucky The Election In Other
State.
Cleveland, Nov. 2 Indications
throughout the western reeerve are that
jf the proportion of Iossm continues
throughout the state the vote will fall
off by 200,000 over that of last year. The
roads are in bad condition and the
farmers are reluctant 19 come out and
vote. Thie, added to the general apathy
will make the vote remarkably light
It is impossible to foretell the effect of
this condition, bat usually in Ohio a
light vote is favorable to the democratic
cause. -
RAIN AT MANX POINTS.
Heavy Tote Being Cast All Over the
Stat.
Columbus, O., Nov. 2. The polls
opened with a heavy rain falling and the
vote almost at the rate of one per min
'ute. Dispatches from all over the etate
indicate that a heavy rain is falling and
that a fairly large vote is being cast.
At Cincinnati.
Cincinnati, O., Nov. 2. At 12 :30 this
afternoon reports from all parts of the
city show' that an unexpectedly large
vote is being polled. Close observers
say the result will be decisive one . way
or the other.
IN OLD KENTUCKY.
The A.
F. A. I Strongly In Evidence
In Louisville.
Louisville, Ky., Nov. 2. From indi
cations a big vote will be polled in the
municipal race today, notwithstanding
it is raining steadily. Feeling is at
fever beat and never, perhaps, is the
biBtory of the city have the. party lines
been drawn so closely. The contest is
made all the more bitter from the fact
that the A. P. A. it is said, ij solidly
aligned for the republican ticket, and
the Catholic vote is equally solid for the
democracy.' . '
Trouble Likely at Lexington.
Lexington, Ky., Nov. 2. The elec
tion in this city and county today is a
most bitter contest. Every hardware
store yesterday sold out its stock of fire
arms.
. SILVER HEN STILL HOPE.
Bartloe Bays the Cause I Hot Waning
In the West.
Washington, Nov. 2. Great confi
dence prevails among the leading demo
crats and their Bilver allies here as to
successes in the state and local elections
The importance of these elections to the
cause of silver is everywhere conceded
Hon. Horace F. Bartine, of Nevada,
secretary of the American Bimetallic
Union and editor of the National
BimetaliBt, who has been actively en
gaged in correspondence with silver
men in all the states, said today :
"There ia certainly no waning of
interest in the bimetallic cause west of
the MiBBOuri. In some of the mountain
states so-called nonpartisan movements
have been inaugurated, the precise eig-
mficance of which I do not know. But
they cannot possibly be productive of
any good to the silver canee if they "suc
ceed. .
"The intermountain states have been
regarded as the Gibraltar of bimetalism
in the United States. The triumph of
. the. ticket of any faction or party there
not known to be emphatically and un
equivocally for the true bimetallic
doctrine will be hailed all over the
United States, and in Europe as well, as
a weakening of the silver cause. It
would do infinitely more harm than a
similar success in any other part of the
country."
In BrVan's State.
Omaha, Nov, 2. Election day is
. bright and clear in Nebraska and the
voting is going ahead steadily. It is not
likely a large vote will be cast, as the
registration waa light. Telegrams op to
noon indicate the entire absence of ex
citement and interest.
,At 2 o'clock fully two-thirds of the
vote has been cast.-" Chairman Dahl
mac, of the democratic committee,
claims the state by 5000 for the fusion
ticket. ' '- - '
.LIGHT VOTE IN VIRGINIA.
Sadden Death, of s . Republican Sena
torial Candidate Cockran.
Richmond, Va., Nov. 2. The weather
is cloudy all over the state; with' rain on
the coast. A dramatic incident, of the
campaign was the death this morning at
Staanton of Colonel James Cockran, the
republican senatorial candidate for the
ninth . district. He expired suddenly
after a vigorous campaign. Returns
from all parte of Virginia indicate that
the vote ia very light.
Heavy Vote in Maryland. .
Baltimore, Md., Nov. 2. The polls
opened this morning daring a perfect
deluge of rain. At 8 o'clock the skies
cleared up a bit, and the indications
pointed to the polling of a very heavy
vote; with the result in doubt.'
SLOW VOTE IN MASSACHUSETTS.
General Opinion I. that Wolcott Will
He Re-elected.
Norton. Nov. 2. Rain prevails all
over Massachusetts todav. and voting
during the early hours is slow. The
general opinion is that Governor Wol
cott is Eure of re-election.

first town to report its vote for governor
today. The vote is : : Wolcott, 311 ;
Williams, 121 ; Everett) national demo
crat, 28. -
Too Much Mad In Colorado.
Denver, Nov. 2. The weather is
clear and cool, but the roads are so
muddy on -account of the heavy snow
storm of a week ago, that not many
voters will take the trouble to vote.
Fair Vote In Iowa.
Des Moines. Ia., Nov. 2. Indications
at noon point to the polling of about 80
per cent of the vote in the state. The
weather throughout the state is . perfect.

weather prevailed throughout Kansas
today. The registration has been light.
In Sooth Dakota.

spite of beautiful weather.
A BATTLE ON AT NEW IOBK.
Balloting Progresses Rapidly in Every
Borongh.
New York, Nov. 2. Rain, which fell
more or leea persistently throughout the
forenoon, had little effect to restrain the
voters of Greater New York from giving
expression to their preferences for city
and borough officials. ' The polls opened
at 6 o'clock and within two hours a eood
third of the voters had been polled in
the residential sections of New York
and Brooklyn. From that time forward
the polling proceeded little less rapidly.
At noon but a Bmall fraction of the regis
tered vote remained uncast.
The ante-election claims of the chair
men of the four leading campaign com
mittees'are as follows :
Democratic estimates give Van Wyck
a majority over all other candidates com
bined of 20,000 and a plurality over Low,
the next highest) of 130,000. The re
publican estimate give Tracy a plurality
of 75,000. The citizens' union estimate
gives Low a plurality of 15,000. The
George estimate gives George a plurality
of 65,000. There are 6522 election dis
tricts in Greater New York.

TAMMANY ON TOP
The Machine Works Well
When It Works at All.
NEW YORK STATE DEMOCRATIC
The Reunite Close In Ohio The Interest
General Light and the
' Vote 8m.il.
New York, Nov. 3. The result of the
election in Greater New York wa"s a
complete victory for Tammany city,
borough ' and county ' tickets. Robert
Van Wyck was elected mayor by a
plurality of 85,308, receiving 235,800
votes.
Seth Low, the citizens' union candi
date for mayor, carried several assembly
districts and polled a large vote, but all
the boroughs returned pluralities for the
Tammany forces.
Mr. Low was well ahead of General
Tracy, the republican nominee, who waa
third in the race. Low polled 149,873
votes, Tracy, 101,833.
Henry George polled 20,832 votes, and
the 'combined votes cast for Gleason,
Ward well, Sanial and Cruicksbank, the
candidate of the prohibition, social
labor and united democracy, polled less
than 5000.
Indications are that with exception of
six of the twelve assemblymen in Brook'
lyn and nine of ttiirty-five in New York,
all the Tammany candidates are elected.
1 3 Queens four of the assemblymen are
democrats. The citizens' union elected
two assemblymen in New York county
The result of the first municipal elec
tion in Greater New York completely re
verses the conditions of 1896, when Mc
Kinley's plurality in the same territory
was 56,865. The plurality of Van Wyck
is abont 85,000, and the entire Tam
many ticket is elected by majority
ranging from 70,000 to 100,000. Color's
plurality over the machine republican
(for controller) ia over 100,000. Both
Van Wyck and Coler were free-silver
adherents in 1896. Alton B. Parker,
democrat,-for judge of the state court of
appeals, carried Greater New York by
106,000, insuring his election and demo
cratic success in the state.
Such a rush to the polls haa never
been known except in presidential years,
Rainy weather failed to dampen the
civic patriotism.
The vote for Van Wyck ia about 44.25
per cent of the total vote cast, or less
than the 45.21 per cent cast for Bryan
in 1896 in the same territory.
THROUGHOUT THE. STATE.
All the Large Outside Cities Elected
Democratic Mayors.
Albany, Nov. 3.' Returns from the
State, which are coming in slowly,, de
monstrate that the republican landslides
of the past two years have been reversed,
if not by giving as large a majority for
the democrats, at least by changing
something like ,240,000 voteB. The
greater surprise of returns is great gain
made in the assembly by the democrats,
many of them being in counties and dis
tricts where there was no expectation
on the part of the democratic managers
2051
of winning. The republiccns will still j
control the assembly, although by
largely decreased majority. ,
' More surprising perhaps than the re
turns on the state and assembly district
tickets were the results of the municipal
campaigns in the large cities. New
York, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse,
Dtica, Albany, Troy, . Binghamton and
Schnectady all. elected democratic
mayors. '.
A LANDSLIDE IN OLD IOWA.
Shaw's Plurality for Governor Over
Twenty Thousand.
Des MoiNEsIa., Nov. 3. Reports re-
ceived from 50 counties give Shaw a
plurality of 20,320. It is expected by
Chairman McMillen that the plurality
will be increased by from 12,000 to 14,'
000 when the returns are received from
the entire state. The republicans
claim 63 in the house, out of 100, and 40
out of 60 in the senate.
The returns early last night showed a
net democratic grain of 37 to the precinct
Later, this was reduced to 21, and is
expected. to go as low as 14 or 15.
REFORM PARTY GOT THE MAYOR

Denveb, Nov. 3. State returns are
meaner, but indicate the re-election ot
Charles. D. Heritt, republican, as
supreme judge, by 1500 majority over
Gabbert, popnlist-democrat. - The entire
silver republican ticket was elected in
this county. ' ' -
Democrats Carried All.
Richmond, Va., Nov. 3. It is esti
mated on full and partial returns that
the democrats elected 13 out of 21
senators and 74 out of 100 members of
the house.. McCaul, ' the republican
candidate for' governor, will cary his
own precinct.
Fusion Carried All.
Lincoln, Neb., . Nov. 3. Additional
precinct returns from the state do not
change the figures given last night indi
eating a fusion plurality exceeding that
of 1896, which was abont 11,000.
Republican Victory Here.
Sioux Falls, S..D., Nov. 3. In eight
judicial circuits of the State the republi
cans elect five judges, the democrats
one and the populists two. The repub
lican victories come as a surprise to the
republicans as well as to the opposition.
Gorman Will Prjbably Win. .
Baltimore, Nov. 3. With semi-of
ficial returns from all the counties in
the state, except St. Mary's and Calvert,
and fairly good estimates from there,
the democrats appear to have elected
enough members- to the legislature to
give them a , majority of five on joint
ballot and to insure them a United
States senator to succeed Gorman.
DAWSON FAMINE TO BE RELIEVED
Supplies Are to Be Sent in by Reindeer
Express.
Chicago, Nov. 2. The threatening
famine in the Yukon valley will be re
lieved. Dr. Sheldon Jackson, en route
from the Klondike to Washington, said
that the recent order of Secretary Alger
to Colonel Randall, in command of the
military reservation at St. Michaels, di
recting him to use reindeer for hauling
food to the miners will relieve much suf
fering. .
Dr. Jackson has in the herd 200 head
of reindeer trained. to harness. He also
haa two Lapa and several Esquimaux
experta in driving deer, whom he can
turn over to Colonel Randall. ' He
further states that the present exigency
emphasizesjthe urgent need of procuring
trained reindeer in large numbers, that
the mines of Alaska are so peculiarly
situated that they cannot be supplied
with a continuous adequate food supply
until reinder transportation is systemat
ically organized on a larger scale.
' v Weyler In a Tight flace.
London, Nov. 4. A dispatch from
Madrid this afternoon says the cabinet
is now considering the question of im
peaching General Weyler, on account of
remarks which he made previous to leav
ing Havana on his return to Spain..

THE CUBANS ACTIVE
Conflict Rages with Unabat
ed Fury.
A SERIES 0E HARD CONTESTS
Icsurgents Capture a Spanish Convoy
in Plnar del Rio Town of ; '
Holguln Captured.
New Yoek, Nov. 4. A dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says : ' ' v .
, The insurgent troops in the field are
very active. On October 30 the Span
iards sustained the most severe loss they
have met for some time. On the borders
ofMatanzas province General Molina
waa defeated by the insurgents under
General Betancourt. .
General Molina was pn his way to
Havana with a brigade of troops to par
ticipate in Blanco's reception. At Agu
acate he heard that the rebels were en
camped in Purgatory hills, and broke
his march to attack . them. : The fight
waa a long one and the Spanish loss waa
large. He was finally forced to re
treat. In Picar del Rio province the rebels
onder command of Captain Lorr at
tacked a convoy that left San Cayetano
and captured a large supply of clothing
and ammunition.
A report apparently well founded is
current in Havana to the effect that
Holguin has been captured by rebbels
under Cebreco. That has been attacked
and 'that 75 Spaniards were killed, is ad'
mitted, but the capture is denied. '
General Luque with heavy reinforce
ments left Havana yesterday for Hoi'
gain. -In
a book on the Cuban war just pub
lished, here, General Weyler, writes the
introduction; Jn one place be says :
"The system of warfare carried on by
me in this campaign is not a new one.
It ia the same as that pursued by the
Americans of the North when Lthey
fought tneir brethren of the South." -
A million dollars in paper currency
haa mysteriously disappeared from the
treasury here. The money was intend
ed for the pByment of the navy and the
troops. .;. . -
This fact coupled with an attempt to
deprive the army and navy of their pay
for the months of April-, May and June
ia causing great indignation.
Spain Ready to Defy Vs. .
Madrid, Nov. 4. The Spanish cabi
net haa decided to reply to the United
States minister's acknowledgment of the
Spanish note in reply to the represen
tations of the United States on the sub
ject of Cuba, declaring in guarded terms
that with reference to granting autono
my to Cuba, Spain will do what she sees
fit.
It ia alao understood that the Span
ish government is determined to main
tain that the Spanish officers acted cor
rectly in making the capture of the
Competitor in April, 1896, and the pro
tocol of 1877 solely referred to American
citizens residing in Cuba.
The letter of Senor Salvon, publiehed
in the Spanish newspapers yesterday,
Replying to the article of Hannia Taylor
formerly United' Statea minister to
Spain, on the Cuban question, recently
published in ' the American magazine,
has created the greatest stir here. The
Spanish papers hotly attack Taylor.
Result Is In Doubt.
Columbus, O., Nov. 4. An official
canvass of votes ia in progrees in most
of the counties of the etate today. These
counts will be watched carefully and
awaited anxiously in the close counties.
The democratic and republican bead
quarters will be kept open to get the of
ficial figures. .'
The republicans today confidently
claim a majority of five on joint ballot.
Columbus, Nov. 4. Up to nosn . the
etate committees had not changed their
respective claims. - Their advices from
the close counties indicate that protests
are being filed today in anticipation of
contests of about a dozen seats in the
legislature.
The state ticket ia no' longer in dis
pute: Interest in the vote in the close
counties on members of the legislature
ia increasing.

BIO DAM GAVE . WAY.
Torrent of Water and Debris Let Loose
" , Near Susanvllle.
Long Cheek, Or.", Nov. 2. News' baa
been brought here from Susanville, a
mining camp about 15 miles above this
place, in the Greenhorn mountains, by
Robert Marshall, an old miner of that
place, of an accident that occurred in
that district, a few days ago. Though
no lives were lost, considerable damage
waa done to property.
, Sloan & Haskell bad been operating a
hydraulic placer during tbe past season,-
and had just completed a large reservoir,
the dam of which waa 30 feet high. The" '
apparatoafor raising and powering the
floodgate was not sufficiently strong to -do
the work, and the reservoir 'over
flowed. . The immense dam gave way,
Bending such a torrent of water, logs,
stumps and other accdmulated debria
down the race that nothing could with
stand it. - The volume of water was so
great that the second dam, just below,
waa washed away as clean as if it had
never existed. The water thus unre
stricted spread over the valley below,
completely inundating the placer works,
for the operation of which the reservoir
had been constructed. Several hundred .
feet of flume was destroyed; and tbe -
giant used -'in operating tbe water was
knocked out of position, but only slight- :
ly damaged. .
Mr. Marshall says that men were put -
to work as soon as tbe force of the water ' .
was spent, rebuilding the dams and
flume, but the work will be necessarily
slow on account of the damaged con
dition of things. He estimates the dam
age to Sioan & Haskell's property at
about $1000, to say nothing of the delay .
to the works and the time required to
repair them. , .
