IND1CATIOS8 POINT TO SUCCESS OF HUMES Relieve! He Hoa Been Elected Mayor of Seattle 1y Very Small Majority. SEATTLE, March 5. ITp to 1 o'clock thl (Wednesday) morning the count of ballot In the city election waa far from complete. A very heavy vote waa pulled and scratching waa general. While both partisans of Hume and Goodwin claim their candidate ha landed the mayoralty, the Indications are that Hume is undoubtedly elect ed by a small majority. , The balance of the Republican city ticket waa also elected. The vote waa one at the heaviest ever polled is the city, and, despite the Incessant downpour, tha streets were thronged throughout the ' day. The Democrats early conceded the uccess of the entire Republican etty with the exception of Humes, claim ing (that Goodwin would liave 3000 plu rality. It Is evident thait the result will be very close. The count thua tar ahowa Humes to be In the lead. Never before has so much scratching been done. This has resulted In a slow count and It will probably be daylight before the result is positively known.

In tern t ate Commerce and Slier man Art Must lie OIMrvetlt It Is Stated. CHICAGO. III. March- 4.-Preldent Roosevelt haa given the railroad man agements of the entire country to un derstand that the interstate commerce and the Sherman laws will be en forced to the letter, say the Record Herald. The Information waa convey ed through the medium of the inter state commerce commission, and it is understood that the administration will not favor any amendment to the law until the preesnt laws have been en forced and' the result noted. The Record-Herald asserts that the new order of things has caused con sternation among the executive offi cials of roads centering In Chicago and all are engaged in the work of "clean ing house." Hurried consultations have resulted In the decision that all associations and organisation which are in viola ton of the laws Involved must be done away with and every effSh made to show the commission that the roads purpose handling traffic free of all pools, agreement or cut rates. The flrst move in this direction is the dissolution of the Council Bluffs, Omaha and Sioux City committee, of which George W. Rlstlne is In charge. It Is understood that the Kansas City commiitee will soon be dlssolvtd. Un less the commission insists uopn It, nothing will be done with the Western Trunk Line committee at present, nor with the various passenger association which are In violation of the Sherman law. Similar action will be taken by the lliu-s east of Chicago and bureaus in the charge of iThalrman Tucker will probably be abolished. Railroad offi cials are not a unit regarding the char acter of action necessary, ibut a large number of them believe that all or ganisations should be done away with. Attention Is called to the fact that IT everything is to be handled on tariff schedules there will be little use for associations or "statistical" bureaus as some are called.
