of the scattering returns thus far re

in the state, outaide of this county, at
29,000.
California.
San Fbancisco, Nov. 3. If McKinley
keeps up the average ehown in precincts
already counted in California, there Is

have 30,000 the beat of it, and six Re
publican congressmen out of seven have
been elected. -'

IDemoeratio Claim in Illinois.
Chicago, Nov. 3. At 9 :30 the chair
man of the Democratic committee had
received no reports from the county
chairmen. Press reports indicated a
majority of 50,000 for McKinley in Cook
county, and this was generally conceded
by the committee.
- No reports on which even an estimate
of the state, outside., of. Cook could be
made had been received, but -the com
mittee still claims 35,000 for Bryan. The
. vote by precincts runs 10 per cent below
the' registration. ' This bears out the re
port that the returns so far received are
only on straight Democratic and Repub
lican tickets, omitting the People's
Party, which the committee counts on
for 25,000 votes. . - '.''",.

Proceedings In the Competitor Trial
Temporary Suspended.
Havana, Nov. 3. Owing to a notice
of protest from Cdnsul General Lee,
taking exception to the new court mar
tial of the Competitor's crew, begun in
Fortress Cabana recently, the proceed
ings in the case have been temporarily
suspended. A summons has, however,
been published in the local papers re
quiring various witnesses to - appear and
file written evidence against the prison
ers. One member of the expedition, George
Ferran, who after landing surrendered
to the British authorities and was par
doned under General Weyler's. amnesty
decree, has just been arrested to await
the trial as a witness.
James Brown, a British subject, and
prominent in Havana business circles,
baa been imprisoned upon a political
charge.
The report that Antonio Maceo
crossed the military line after- attacking
Artimesa and being repulsed with great
loss, according to the official account is
again denied. It is stated that the in
surgents on that occasion acted without
unrfon, disobeyed orders, made no at
tack upon the forts .and. were unable to
capture the Spanish occupants. Maceo,
the day after bombarding ArtimeBa, in
conversation with a member of a firm
near his forces, sustained and admitted
that it was no easy matter to cross the
military line. Spanish forces are slowly
occupying positions Maceo may have in
tended to use, and be is said to be rest
ing in order to care for the wounded.
There are two versions as to the
whereabouts of Maceo. One has it that
Maceo and Rubia are in the mountains
on the limits of Cabanass and Cayaja
bos, which constitute-part of Sierra de
Rosa Rio. Another report says he is in
the range of mountains of. the Sierra,
south of San Cristobal.
Toe Spanish troops are continuing to
advance westward toward the insurgent
strongholds, without receiving any as
sistance from the troops stationed along
the military line which are being still
farther strengthened.

ber, 1896, at 2 o'clock p. m.
I am today more than proud to call The Dalles my native city.
We have looked forward to the the event of the opening of the
"Locks" for many years. At times the heart has become sick from
hope long deferred, but at last the great day is here that marks the
beginning of an era of unexampled prosperity for our city as well as
for our surrounding communities the great day. that marks the
opening of the "Gateway to the Inland Empire."
It is proper that all residents of our city should join in celebrat
ng an event of so great importance, and that tomorrow should be
made a day of general: rejoicing and thanksgiving, and that the day -be
devoted to a celebration of the time when the Grand Old Colum
bia flows from our beautiful city un vexed to the sea. .
." THEREFORE, as Mayor of Dalles City, I earnestly request that
all business houses be closed; thatall persons cease their avocations
and allljusiness be suspended, and that all join in celebrating the
grandest event in the history of The Dalles, and make tomorrow a
day of rejoicing never to be forgotten, and that our citizens individ-
