Both Democratic and Republican leaders say that frauds and irregularities were used in several precincts, and hundreds of bal lots have been held up by the supervis ors in Baltimore and in at least three counties.

ENTIRE SECTION ROUSED Armed Citizens Fast Joining Sheriff's Posse. REIGN OF TERROR TO END Horsethleves Have Long Laid Tribute on Ranges in Guise of Stockmen Victims Afraid to Complain, Fearing Worse Treatment. LONG CREEK, Or., Nov. 11. (Special.) Intense excitement prevails in the Long Creek country tonight over the forma tion of a Deputy Sheriffs' posse to round up and capture tho gang of horsethleves whose depredations have become so wide spread and bold as to make the situa tion on the ranges of Northern Grant in tolerable. Citizens are Joining the posse in such numbers as to make ultimate capture of the marauders almost certain. Only three specific warrants have been Issued and the names In these cases are withheld at the request of posse leaders, who do not wish to make public the Identity of the men they are pursuing until the ar rests are made. The present uprising In Northern Grant against the semlorganlzed gang of rust lers, from whom no man's horses have been safe. Is the climax of years of pa tient endurance. Individual arrests have been made from time to time by the Sheriffs of Grant and Umatilla Counties, but the band as a whole has never been broken up. Occasional recruits from trusted sources have kept the outlaw ranks from depletion. "We'll chase this gang till h 1 freezes over. If wo don't catch "ea," tersely re marked, one of the officers .'today, and the same note of determination is echoed by every stockman rallying, to the hunt. It Is the peculiar system of this par tially .qrganlzed gang which has enabled the members to operate successfully for many years. They are not a spectacular band of horsemen, who sweep into a dis trict and out again, taking with them 100 or 150 head. - They are residents of North ern Grant itself or of contiguous territory. and rarely take more than two or three animals at the time. The principal rustlers in the section pass as . semn-espectaoio stockmen. They may lo suspected by their neigh bors, but having reputations of being men who will .not stand much "fooling." these suspicions aro hardly ever put in words. Frequently they are not even whispered between neighbor and neighbor. A man does not always know foe from friend in Northern Grant. Bolder and more active operations than even the harassing thefts of the past three years have been In progress since Spring, and this thoroughly earnest man hunt, to which the patient stockmen have at last been stirred, promises to break up or actually wipe out one of the most annoying bands of bad men that ever tormented the interior.

Argentine PrBW"Ur'gesr5JLOO0t00zfin the -Creation of a NavyJ" BUENOS AYRES. Nov. 11. In view of the project of Brazil to raise" a loan of $50. 000.000 to increase her fleet, Argentine newspapers are urging a rearrangement of treaties .with Chile In order to enable this government to expend $15,000,000 in the creation of an Argentine navy, al leging that Brazil is ambitious of secur ing supremacy among the Eouth American states. The proposal of a BrazillanX loan, it 13 stated, has already been arranged and Is merely awaiting the sanction of the Sen ate. In well-informed quarters here It is believed that the action of Brazil is due solely to a desire adequately to strengthen her coast defenses, owing to fears of fu ture European aggression In southern ter ritories. There is a strong sentiment ad verse to the rearrangement of treaties with Chile, or to the committal of tho country to heavy expense for National defenses. BEST E0R BrTTTJPPIKES.

LONDON, Nov. 12. The Times says this morning, editorially, in discussing the pro-' posed second Hague conference! "We freely admit as an abstract ques tion that there is no reason why the ex istence of hostilities In one quarter of the globe should militate against the work of the powers In the cause of peace. Rather, perhaps, we might expect that it would give them additional stimulus,, but at the same time it would not be surprising if objection should be taken by one or the other of the belligerents to the assem blage of such a conference while the war is still going, on. "The position of neutrals and the vari ous Intricate questions arising out of a state of war at sea will evidently be among the chief subjects discussed at the, new conference. Russia, for example, might not improperly decline to submit to the conference a class of questions which affect her so directly and which. If laid before the "conference, have practically the results of submitting before the con ference her attitude during the war to the Jurisdiction of the assembled powers. It Is clear that the usefulness of the confer ence will be very much Impaired if any jof. the great powers should either abstain from taking part, or should join with un willing hearts." But the Times says some practical solu tion of this matter-Ill probably be found as the matter takes shape. France Approves Peace Conference.

IL Chief Constructor Capps, of the Navy, in his annual report made public today, urges the Immediate construction of a new masonry drydock at the Puget Sound Navy-Yard of suffl dent size to hold the largest ships afloat and large enough to simultaneously ac commodate two moderate-sized vessels, Such dock, it is estimated, will cost 51, SCO,- 000. The present dock will jieed extensive repairs within four years. This is as signed R3 a reason why work on the new dock hould be commenced, pot latex than. January 1. 196$. . The rapid increase in re pair Vfark done at 'P.uget Sound yard -is said t ' dnaad additional dockings facili ties. w Constructor Capps -renewB his recom mendation, for new work at Puget Sound Navy-Yard, including a marine railway for hauling out small craft, an additional wharf for berthing vessels under repair, a floating derrick for hoisting and hand .ling heavy weights to and from vessels. such as boilers, guns, turrets and new buildings, as follows: Foundry, blacksmith shop, sawmill, pattern, block and cooper shop, office- building, hardwood lumber shed and dry kiln. Although recognizing the desirability of having some of the Government yards equipped for building naval vessels of the largest size, Constructor Capps says 'The repairing and overhauling- of the fleet must at all times remain the important wprk of navy-yards, as in time of war their resources will be taxed to the utmost in performing such work. The Navy, he says, Is Increasing so rapidly that ample work, will be pro vided for the navy-yards by "repairs and refits alone." Of the work on- the battleship Connecticut, building: at the rew York shipyard, the' chief construe tor says that despite every effort to reduce the cost of this, the nrst battle Vshlp to be constructed in a navy-yardj to the most economical basis, "it can hardly be hoped that the work will be done as cheaply as when performed in private shipbuilding yards, whose rates of pay for nine hours' work, in many cases, is less. than those being' paid for eight hours work at the navy-yard In !ew York." Attention is called to the urgent necessity for adequate dockinsr faclll ties for vessels of the fleet and for the building of additional piers and sen eral improvement of the berthing' facil ities at the several navy-yards. Adml ral Capps earnestly recommends that the department permit the detail pf three ofneers or the construction corps as assistants to the bureau of construe tlon and repair. Many Improvements In navy-yards are recommended, but the estimated cost of this work is not included in the -portion of the report made public today, FLUE IMPERILS C0I0EAD0 CITY Anaconda.
