SOME "CITIZENS" GET IN The Legislative Delegation Will Be Split ROWE IN THfc LEAD FOR MAYOR Moody Carries County hy 5000 Mc Donell tor Assessor, Brooke for Treasurer. At the election yesterday, results in Portland and Multnomah County were mixed. Incomplete returns from 54 pre cincts in Portland and complete and incom plete returns from 20 of the 26 country precincts appear to show that the "Citi zens" Legislative ticket has won a partial victor'. Two, and perhaps three, of the four candidates for Senator are probably elected, and the results are uncertain as to the remaining. For the Lower House there is an exceedingly close contest. Out of 3000 votes counted, no conclusion can be reached, except that indications appear to favor a split delegation. Mr. Inman is doubtless elected Senator, and both Mr. Mays and Dr. Smith are In the lead of the Republican candidates. Mr. Chamber lain leads Mr. Sewall for District Attor ney, and if his present lead Is not brought down, will be elected. Mr. Moody for Congress has carried the county by a majority of about 5000, and Mr. "Wolverton, for Supreme Judge, will have In the neighborhood of 4000 plurality and probably more. Judge Sears and Judge George are doubt less re-elected. On the county ticket. Republicans were generally successful. Mr. Frazler Is leading for Sheriff by a narrow margin. Mr. Brooke has appar ently beaten Mr. Hoyt for Treasurer, and Captain McDonell will in all likelihood b the next Assessor. Kennedy for Clerk of the -Circuit Court, Holmes- for Clerk of the County Court, Beach for Recorder, and Hurlburt for Surveyor have large majorities. Mack and Showers are elect--ed County Commissioners. ' In the city there is a remarkably close controversy between Rowe, Storey and "Wells for Mayor, with the chances favor ing Rowe. Chase has probably been elect ed City "Engineer. The rest of the city Re publican ticket is safe. The constitutional amendments all seem to be T beaten In this county. Woman's suffrage has been snowed under by a con siderable vote. The total vote In the city was 13,592, a falling off of about 20 per cent from tha registration, whldh was 1C.200. The total vote. of the county will be about 15,500, the registration being 18,754. Up to mid night last night about 3000 vote had been counted.

PRETORIA INVESTED Roberts' Army Is at theTrans vaal Capital. THE CITY HAY SURRENDER Thoush at a Council of Generals Last Week It Was Decided to Resist to the End. LONDON, June 5, 3:20 A. M. Of official Intelligence regarding what Is transpiring outside Pretoria there is little or nothing today. Lord Roberts Is silent. Never theless, by piecing together Items from various correspondents, it would seem ".hat HO. MALCOLM A. MOODY Lord. Roberts Immense army is all-Cia-v pJoyed north of Johannesburg, except one brigade, which Is at Johannesburg, and that six columns are converging on Pre toria. A undated news agency message from Pretoria, via Lourenco Marques, June 4, says: "Pretoria is now invested by the British. No resistance will be offered. The city will be surrendered by the Burgomaster as soon as formal demand Is made." This message purports to come in cipher. President Kruger commands the telegraph east-X-ard from Pretoria, and telegraphic news from Pretoria to Lourenco Marques haa ceased, but the messengers of news paper correspondents continue to pass to and fro on the railway. The latest to ar rive at Lourenco Marques bring events at the Boer capital down to a late hour Friday night. At that time, according to these sources of information, the Boer leaders had quite recovered from the panic, and had determined to defend tha town. "One message, which ia dated June 1, says: "Pretoria is full of strange burghers, but most of the commandos are laagered outside. A. great war council of Generals has Just concluded its deliberations. The decision as to the future military course has not been made known. Louis Botha and Delarey sat in the council." Another dispatch brought to Lourenco Marqis by messenger and dated at Pre toria Friday at midnight, says: "The "war council assumes the powers of the government. Its members declare that the capital may still be successfully defended. One Commander declared: "With the help of God, the hour will come when Great Britain will acknowledge the inde pendence of the two republics. A tre mendous change will yet come over tho situation.' General Delarey said that Pretoria would be defended to the utmost, adding: 'There is every chance that we will yet beat the enemy out of the coun try.' President Kruger is somewhere to the eastward, but is in constant wire com munication with the leaders here. There Is, however, a deep feeling of anger against him on account of what is now called his unnecessary flight, and because he and the officials took all the gold and left their subordinates unpaid. The lat est phase of public opinion is a marvelous revival of courage." From Xiourenco Marques comes a dis patch, dated June 4, saying: "It Is known that some great British movement Is In progress-outside of Pre toria. Tho mysterious movements of President Kruger's secretary and physi cian, particularly their visit to the Dutch warship Frlesland, which is in the harbor here, has aroused suspicions that Import ant personages are expected." The news fronl the minor theaters is less cryptic The JBoer operations to break Lord Roberts' communications have been completely baffled, and the Boers are in danger of being surrounded by the British forces at FicRsburg, Senekal. Heilbron and Lmdley. General Rundle, Instead of throwing himself against the Boers In trenched at Bedulphberg, moved toward Ficksburg and established communication Tvlth General Brabant. The Boers marched parallel with Rundle. intending to seize a strong position ofl the Ficksburg road, but General' Rundle got there first. The 1500 Boers who were in this movement are now reported to be going elsewhere. Tho cor respondents' with General Rundle continue to point out the hardness of the fight of last Tuesday, but they believe it will be the last real resistance. Colonel Lloyd was thrice: wounded. Drummer Haynes, while aiding Colonel Lloyd, was shbt In the hand, which was resting near the Colonel's heart. General Buller's guns throw a shell or two toward the Boer positions in front of him occasionally. General Baden Powell Is still at Mafeking. General Hun ter's column Is marching unopposed into the Transvaal beyond Llchtenburg. A new phase of the Anglo-Dutch con flict is opening in Cape Colony. The lead ers of tho Afrikandcrbund propose, it s asserted, to block business in the Cape Parliament until the British Government acts on the resolutions adopted by the .people's congress at Graaf Relnert, declar ing that the chief Immediate cause of the war was the unwarranted and Intolerable Interference of tho ministry In London in - the internal affairs of. the South African republics. 4 A. M. Beyond Llchtenburg, the Bosrs are assembling to oppose General Hunter. Colonel Mahon effected a juncture with Hunter Thursday at Maribogo. PORTO RICAN OFFICES.

HAVANA June -4. Acting Director of Posts Erlstow today inquired as to tha amount of postal funds taken by C. F. W. Neely In May, 1S99, and ascertained that it was $31,312 95". Neelv's monthly average was about $17,000. 113 system of bookkeeping was simplicity itself. Ap parently he merely divided the amounts received, taking one-half for himself and accounting for the other. This morning the examination of Estes G. Rathbone, ex-Director of Posts, was continued. It lasted more than four hours. The most startling fact devel oped was that May 26 of la-?t year Mr. Rathbone ordered Special Agents Leath erer and Sullivan to exaiplne his accounts. They found a shortage, but It was not thought that anything had gone wrong. They reported, however, that there was no check upon the Bureau of Finance, and they recommended that certain blank forms be made, which would answer the purpose, such as all postmasters use when making their reports to the de partment monthly. Mr. Maynard. then chief agent. Indorsed the recommenda tion and forwarded It to Mr. Rathbone. The latter approved It and sent it to Auditor Reeves, -who Initialed It and for warded it to Neely. After h.j had In itialed it. Instead of putting the scheme into operation, he quietly pigeon-holed it. and it did not see the light until May 15 of this year, when the plan was put Into effect. Mr. Bristow says he Is almost sure that the extent of the steal will amourit to something between $50,000 and $100,000, but that this will not touch the item of sur charge stamps, -which Is $411,000. As to how manv of these were burned and how many sold. It is Impossible to obtain definite Information. As many have been traced, it is known positively that all were not destroved. but if Neely sold, say. $50 (SCO or $100,000 werth. It would not be surprising to Mr. Bristow to find them scattered all over the world. The postal inspectors say it is astonishing that a system so rotten could have been con cealed beyond the first month. Every day only adds to the surprises. OREGON'S VOTES Republicans Win General Election. MAJORITY IS NOT LARGE Count Is Slow and Few Re turns Are In. COUNTY TICKETS MUCH MIXED Republican Candidates for State Offices and Congressmen Elected Legislature Believed to Be Sate. Returns received up to 3 o'clock thia morning give very little definite informa tion. They indicate, however, that tha state is safely Republican. The vote polled fell considerably short of the registration, and for the most part the election was very quiet. Local issues interfered ma terially with a full expression of party sentiment. Wolverton is re-elected Judge of the Supreme Court, and Bailey is re elected Dairy and Food Commissioner. Moody is safe for Congressman in tha Second District, and probably Tongue la the First, with slightly reduced plurality. The Legislature will be Republican, but probably less heavily so than the last one. Fuslonlsts were successful In electing part of the county officers in neveral counties. The great length of the tlCKet, and tho fact that very few "straight" ballots wera cast, made the work of tallying very slow, and In a large number of precincts tha count will not be completed until well into today. Baker County. BAKER CITT, Or., June 5. The election passed off quietly in Baker City yester day. Crowds thronged the streets during the day, and a number of fanners were in town, also miners from the near-by mining districts. The crowds were or derly, however, and not a single arrest was made. The largest vote over polled in tho county was castt that of Baker City being beyond all. "expectations. A great many who neglected to register had their votes sworn in, and the total vote exceeds tha number on the registration books. The principal fight between both parties wa3 made on the candidates for Sheriff ana Clerk. Both men are popular, and their hosts of friends worked Incessantly la their behalf. The Indications are, from the meager returns In at midnight, that both these offices will be captured by the Republicans) by small majorities. It ia also conceded that W. E. Grace (Dem.) for the Legislature Is elected over John T. English (Rep.). With the latter excep tion. It looks like a Republican victory throughout the county. The office of Re corder, however. Is doubtful, and may go to the Democratic candidate. Incom plete returns for the precincts in the city for state officers at midnight were ae fol lows: Congressman from the Second Congres sional district Moody, Rep, 229; Smith, Dem, 232. For Supreme Judge Greene, Dem, 221; Wolverton, Rep, 2S2; English, Rep, 25S; Grace, Dem, 239. Incomplete returns from Sumpter glva English. Rep, 92; Grace, Dem, 72. Re turns for the other state officers could not be obtained. Huntington precinct Moody, 68; Smith, 40; Greene, 40; Wolverton, 70. Full returns will not be In from many of the outside precincts before tomorrow noon, while others will not be in beforo tho following day. The vote on the equal suffrage amendment is light, but It Is be lieved to be overwhelmingly defeated ux the county. BAKER CITT, Or., June 4. The Dem ocrat have probably elected thoA Repre sentative, Commissioner, Recorder, As sessor and School Superintendent. The Republicans the Sheriff, Clerk, Treasurer, Surveyor and County Coroner. Sam. White, Dem, for District Attorney, is running ahead of the ticket. Smith, for Congress, Is 50 ahead. Bight hundred votes ara counted. Clatsop County. ASTORIA, June 4. The Republican state ticket has a large majority in Clat sop County. We elect at least one Rep resentative, Treasurer, Sheriff, Assessor, Countj Clerk, Surveyor. Harrison Allen, for District Attorney, and Moody havo large majorities. F. J. CARNEY, Cnalrman Republican County Committee. ASTORIA June 4. Indications at 10 P. M. are that the vote was divided between Republicans and the Fusion forces. The election of Hahn (Citizen) for the Legis lature Is conceded by the Republican lead ers. At this hour it looks as If LInville, the Republican incumbent, for Sheriff, was elected by a safe plurality, and Lyman (Citizens) for County Superintendent of Schools by less than 30 votes. The elec tion of Republican candidates for County Clerk, Assessor and Surveyor is conced ed beyond question. Moody for Congress may get 300 plurality, but it is doubtful. The county campaign was badly split up by factional and local Issues for the Re publicans concerned. ASTORIA June 4. It rained in tor rents all day. The returns are elow. Moody and the state ticket are elected by a majority of about 500. Harrison Alkn gets 500 plurality for District Attorney. In county officers, the Republicans elect the Sheriff, County Clerk, Treasurer, As sessor, Surveyor: other offices are In doubt. The Legislative ticket is In doubt, and is probably divided. Woman suffrage was ignored. ASTORIA June 4. Election returns re ceived up to midnight Indicate that for Congressman Malcolm A. Moody will re ceive a majority of 700 In this county. For the Legislature, the election of John Hahn (Citizens) is conceded. The vote for J. E. Toung (Republican) and B. F. Allen (Citizens) Is very close, with sev eral doubtful precincts to hear from. ASTORIA, Or., June 5. It Is the con sensus of opinion among political lead ers of both parties that Clatsop County (Concluded 09 Fifth Pftge.) I. I
