THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1901. ON HIS WAY TOTHE POLLS PBESIDEKT" ROOSEVELT SPEKT IA2T SIGHT IJf NEW YORK. He Will Go to Oyster Bay Today to Vote, and Then. Refrara at Once to the Capital. NEW YORK, Nov. 4. President and Mrs. Roosevelt and party arrived in New York at 6:20 o'clock tonight, anvhoar and 30 minutes behind schedule time. The party remained In New York over night, and tomorrow will be taken to Oyster Bay, L. L, where the President will cast his vote. He will remain scarcely over an hour In Oyster Bay, returning In time to take an afternoon train out of Jer sey City for Washington. The President was in excellent spirits, and greatly en Joyed the little respite from official ex actions. He spent most of the trip from Washington chatting Jovially with the rest of his party or on the observation platform of his car. Owing to the care with which the exact Itinerary of the trip was guarded from the public, there were but few people along the line wait ing to see the President until Newark was reached. There a crowd pressed the sta tion gates. The President took along with him as far as Baltimore Caspar Whitney, editor of "Outing." At Balti more, he spent the two or three min utes' stop pacing the station platform alone. The day was cloudy and threat ening and he remarked that It was a fit ting contrast to the weather conditions he hoped for tomorrow. The only untoward Incident of the Jour ney was the delay due to a freight wreck at Clay Mount, DeL, which made It necessary to shift the train to the Bal timore & Ohio tracks, on which it ran as far as West Philadelphia. As the train lay in the yards for some minutes, the President stepped to the platform and smilingly greeted a group of railroad em ployes, who climbed upon the platform and shook hands with him. He told them, he was glad to see their Interest In poli tics, as evidenced by the municipal cam paign buttons they wore. When the train pulled Into the Jersey City station It had made up a few min utes' time. A big crowd had gathered and a number of secret service men, de tectives and newspaper men followed the party to the ferry-boat, where carriages were waiting. Arrived at New York, the President and party were driven to the residence of the President's aunt, Mrs. James H. Roosevelt The President will take a ferry early tomorrow morning for Long Island City, where a special train for Oyster Bay will be In waiting. Sec retary Cortelyou will leave the others at Mineola and drive over to Hempstead to vote, while the President, and his as sistant secretary, Mr. Loeb, tjlll cast their ballots at Oyster Bay. At about 10 o'clock the President left his aunt's house, and in comp'any with his cousin, William Roosevelt, went In a closed automobile to the Century Club, where 10 or a dozen personal friends gave him an Informal reception. No list of those present was given, but it Is un derstood Professor Butler and Professor Brander Matthews were among them. After this, President Roosevelt returned to his aunt's residence to pass the night. On tho way to and from the club the President was closely guarded by detec tives, a dozen In all, and detectives and police guarded the house in which he slept throughout the night. BIG ODDS FOR LOW. (Continued from First Page.) and giving them a chance to cast their ballots. The State Central Committee estimate teat there will be a fallllng off of about 15 per cent .from last yoar's vote, or a decrease of not far from 51.000. If these figures are realized, Mr. Cummins' vole will be In the neighborhood of 2GO.O00, or 21,000 more than the total vote received by Governor Shaw two years ago. Shaw's plurality was 56,163. Add to this figure the 21,000 additional Republican votes' as estimated, and the result Is a plurality of 77,000. Frank Q. Stewart, of the Democratic committee. Is of the opinion that the Re publican plurality will be substantially lowored this year. The Prohibitionists are still sanguine that their party will cast not less than 23.000 votes this year a9 a protest, against the nomination of Mr. Cummins by the Republicans for Governor. Apathy has existed from the start. There has been no prominent Issue be fore the state, and the only speaking campaign conducted has been that of the Republicans, the Democratic candidate, T. J. Phillips, being content with a "hand shaking" tour of tho state. IX KEXTIJCKY. It Is Suspected Thnt Many Demo crat Are Illegally Registered. LOUISVILLE, Nov. 4. It appears to night that the special feature of the elec tion In Louisville tomorrow, whon a Mayor and full city and county and Legis lative tickets will be voted for, will be the attempt of the Republicans to chal lenge the Democratic voters whom they suspect of being Illegally registered. The Democrats deny all charges of illegal registration, and charge the Republicans with attempted intimidation. Democratic and Republican leaders to day reiterated their claims of majorities of 5000 to 7003 in the city. The Democrats appear more confident than the Repub licans, but the Republicans have worked harder than for years. Outside the city, there has been almost no Interest, and surprises are looked for In the Legislative race. The indications are for fine weather tomorrow. The election will afford the first test of the new state election law. Under the Goebel law the State Legislature appoint ed three election commissioners, who should have charge of the elections In the state, tabulate and certify the returns and appoint the three county election commissioners In each county of the state, they In turn to act as a returning board for their county. An amendment was made to the law, by which the Clerk of the Court of Appeals should be the chairman of the state election commis sion, while the members should be select ed b ythe ruling bodies of each of the two governing parties. IN SAN FRANCISCO. No Sure Prediction Can Be Made ns to the Result. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 4. There will be no elections In any of the Pacific Coast States for state officials tomorrow, but there will be municipal elections In some of the large cities.

Wells, the Republican aspirant, has served the city as Auditor. Joseph S. Tobin, Democrat, is a young attorney. He Is a member of a wealthy and prom inent family here. He Is Just finishing a term as Supervisor. Eugene E. Schmltz Is the candidate of the United Labor party. He Is a member of the Musicians Union, and his candidacy was brought about by the recent labor troubles In this city. All three men have made an ener getic campaign, and no safe prediction can be made as to the result of the elec tion. Bryan Closed Campaign In Nebraska, OMAHA, Nov. 4. William J. Bryan closed the campaign In Nebraska for the fuslonists with four speeches in this city and South Omaha tonight. -At each place Mr, Bryan was greeted with en enthuslastlc crowds, notwithstanding A. snowstorm. The only development today bearing- upon the campaign Is a long- statement from Chairman Lindsay, of the J Republican state committee, dlscuslng a circular Issued by the State Liquor Deal ers' Association in opposition to Judgo Sedgwick, Republican nominee for Su preme Court. The circular says Judgo Sedgwick Is Inclined to prohibition, and unfriendly to the liquor Interests. Chair man Lindsay, in his statement, says it is time the Judiciary of the state is freed from saloon domination, and minimizes the importance of the circular. Chairman De Frande, for tho fuslonists, said that with bright weather he looked for a satisfactory vote in the country 'districts. With zero weather reported at Alli ance, In Northwestern Nebraska, a light' fall of snow In the eastern part of the Btate and prosepcts for more, the out look Is not favorable for anything ltke an average vote tomorrow even for an off year. Only Connty Election in Colorado. DENVER, Nov, 4. Only county officers are to be elected in Colorado tomorrow, and In most localities the campaign has been made on local Issues. There has been, a bitter contest between Republi cans and Democrats In Arapahoe County, which includes the City of Denver, and both sides claim to have the advantage. The Republican leaders charge that the Democrats Intend to resort to repeating and other Illegal practices, and conflicts at the polls between Republican watchers appointed as Deputy Sheriffs, and the police officers, who are under Democratic control, are feared. Little Interest in Mississippi. JACKSON, Miss., Nov. 4.,-On the eve of the special .election involving the offices of the State Treasurer and Secretary of State, there Is absolutely no excitement and little Interest. The campaign has been short, and conducted principally by correspondence, the malls having been flooded for the last SO days with circulars. The two candidates residing in Jackson have not been out of the town, and others have made but few speeches. The candi dates do not expect that half the vote will be polled at many precincts, and It Is said that no election will be held at some places. Very Quiet in Massachusetts. BOSTON, Nov. 4. No eve of election ever saw Massachusetts quieter than to night. The talk In Boston was not on the result of the state ticket, but on the size of the Democratic majority In Bos ton. In the absence of Issues, it is ex pected that one-third of the voters will stay at home tomorrow, and tho Gov ernor W. Murray Crane, tho Republican candidate, will be' elected by about 50.000 majority over Joslah Qulncy, the Demo cratic candidate. There seems little pros pect of any noteworthy change in the complexion of the Legislature. Jfew Jerney Republicans Confident. NEWARK. N. J., Nov. 4.

DENSE FOG IN LONDON LIKE OP IT HAg NOT BEEN &XPEU t ylEPfCED FOR YEARS" v ' - -" -- In the City, Business Was Thrown Into Confusion, Shipplnff -Bloclr- aded and Railways Deranged. LONDON, Nov. 4. A fog such as Great Britain has not experienced for years en yejoped London and half the United .King dom today, blockading shipping, deranging railways and throwing business In Lon don, Birmingham and other provincial cities Into confusion. So dense Was it that a walk into tho streets was an. adven ture. The fog descended upon the metrop olis and the suburbs so quickly that be tween 4 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon the principal avenues of traffic resembled the steam room of a Turkish bath. Hundreds of thousands of London's suburban pop ulation vainly endeavored to grope their way to the railway stations- The few who succeeded fpund the trains all stalled. Around Trafalgar Square and the bouses of Parliament scenes unparalleled for years were witnessed. Hundreds of om nibuses, cabs, carts and wagons formed an Inextricable and Immovable mass. The mounted police, in trying to clear away the Jam, got lost In the crowds. Many ve hicles were in polllsion; the drivers, not knowing where they were, stood at the heads of their iiorses, patiently awaiting the lifting of the premature darkness. Lanterns were at a premium, newsboys transformed their papers into temporary torches, highwaymen pursued their voca tion, casualties ere few, and even hard ened Londoners expressed a dread of the continuation of such fogs of today. If the fog had not lifted somewhat toward night, London would have been so con gested that housing resources, commodi ous as they are, would have beerf taxed beyond their limits by the forced accom modation of the fog-bound suburbanites. Among children and old people the deliri ous effects of such a continuous and ex ceptional fog can scarcely , be estimated. Several theaters were obliged to close for the evening on account of fog. During the thickest of tho fog a man named Lanscombe entered the Kensing ton branch of the London & Southwestern Bank and shot the cashier dead. He then called upon the clerks to deliver the con tents of the tills. One clerk grappled with the robber, who, finding that escape was Impossible, shot himself. Another clerk was wounded in the struggle. In addition to the outrage at the Ken sington branch of the London & South western Bank, which occurred at 4 P. M., when the fog was densest, several -small street robberies have been reported, many victims being stunned by sandbags. Two express trains had narrow escapes from serious collision.

"The cost of tho war In South Africa is enormous," said Sir Michael. "It still drags. It may be, when next year comes, that I may have to ask tho people of this country to bear even greater burdens, and tq make even greater sacrifices." Sfr Michael Hicks-Beach announced that the government was communicating with the authorities in South Africa with a view to a change In the situation of the concentration camps and to an amelioration of their conditions.

EX-CAPTAIN CARTER ANSWERS His Demurrer In the Case of the Government Against Him. SAVANNAH, Go., Nov. 4. In the. United States Court today answers and demurrers were filed by the defendants in the case of the United States vs. Obcr lin M. Carter and others. This is the case in which the Government has pro ceeded to hold up certain securities and other property held In the name of Ober lln M. Carter or those closely associated with him. ExCaptain Carter, Lorenzo Carter and Stanton Carter filed demurrers alike. The affidavit of ex-Captain Carter Is dated Leavenworth, Kan., October 25. It is contended that the Government has made no case that entitles it 4o equity or re lief, and that the bill contains no matter of equity whereon the court can grant a decree or give any relief. It appears on the face of the bill, says the answer, that there Is another suit pending for the same matter between the. same parties. The discovery sought In the bill is in aid of a criminal suit, and not in aid of a suit of a civil nature. There are several causes in the bill, and it the complainant Is entitled to relief It should have sued at law upon the sev eral causes. The defendant, therefore, demurs to the bill and asks the Judgment of the court whether he shall be com pelled to make further-answer and prays to be dismissed with his costs and charges most wrongfully sustained. The answer of the Edison Electric Il luminating Company shows that on its books when -t was the Brush Electric Light Company, Oberlln M. Carter ap peared as the owner of 50 shares of its capital stock. p!x hare of which were transferred to him June 3, 1S95. six shares June 23, 1895, 15 shares June 25, 1S95, and 23 shares October 5, 1895, all of which were transferred by Carter January 7, ikJ. since which date no stock has been owned by Carter to the defendant's knowledge. That except as stated the defendant is a stranger to all the matters and things in the plaintiff's bill. The defendant denlen all, manner of unlawful combinations which it is charged in the bill of com plaint. The answer of the Savannah Brewing Company shows that on June 1, 1894. there were Issued to Carter certain certificates for 12 shares of its capital stock and June 23 1S95, certificates were issued to him for 13 shares.
