NEW YORK, November 6.—The new bal- lot, which must be folded in a particular way, and the multiplicity of ballots, all of which must be properly folded and return- ed by the voter, greatly delayed the voting. It was estimated this afteraoon that from a third to a fourth of the voters would not be able to get in thetr ballots. It 1s hard to tell who will be most hurt by his. In the democratic districts the voting was a little slower than uptown. But Jt it said that at every precinct the Tammany voters were instructed to be early at the polls. The democrats are very confident of elect- ing Cummings and McClellan to Congress, both of whom are having a hard fight. It is still expected that Cantor and Sickles will be defeated. In Brooklyn the struggle cver Congressmen fs extremely close. Traded by Tammany. NEW YORK, November 6.—It 1s alleged that Recorder Smyth, who is a candidate for re-election, was traded by order of Tammany Hall, so that votes for Grant for mayor may be obtained. Wilson Probably Defeated. A dispatch to the republican committee from J. W. Poe, Charleston, W. Va., says: Congressman Wilson (democrat) loses heavi- ly; Dayton (republican) elected, almost cer- tainly. NEW YORK, November 6.—The republican chairman of West Virginia claims Wilson is losing heavily and will be defeated. MASSACHUSETTS. BOSTON, November 6.—Returns from a quarter of the city show a net loss of 1,600 for Russell, democratic candidate for gov- ernor. BOSTON, November 6—Everything in Massachusetts points to a sensational re- | publican victory. Boston's normal demo- cratic majority of some 10,000 is cut down to 8,000, and the republicans surely elect twelve of the thirteen Congressmen and probably the thirteenth also. BOSTON, November 6.—Republicans claim | solid congresstonal delegation. ‘The demo- crats have four members in the present 'nouse. The governor will be republican, COLORADO. Women Generally Voted in -All the Larger Towns. ~ DENVER, November 6.—It is safe to say that no less than ha!f of the votes polled in this city today were through women. Out of a total registry of 70,000 in Arapa- hoe county about 30,000 are women, and as a large number of men registered were on the books a year ago, and some have since left the city, while the female registration is all new, it is likely that more than three-sevenths of the legal voters are wo- men, The polls opened at 7 a.m., and at that time scores of women were in line in every precinct. Hundreds of carriages were flying over the city directed by committee women, among whom were many of the most prominent society ladies of the city, gathering the voters. From the very opening of the campaign great interest has centered in the action of the new voters. The fact that the suffrage campaign of a year ago was conducted al- most conclusively on lines laid down by the women themselves, and was the first of its kind that ever proved successful, was an indication that the women wanted the fran- chise and might be expected to make use of it when received. This idea was further strengthened by the fact that at the spring elections in the vari- ous towns of the state the ladies turned out tc the primaries,accepted places on the tick- ets and polled a considerable number of votes, The important issues in the present campaign have made the woman vote much sought after, so that strong efforts have been made to secure a full registration. Or- ganizations composed exclusively of women, but co-operating with thos of the men, have been formed in the interests of the various parties, and social distinctions have for the me been practically thrown aside in the fervor of campaign work. The original friends of equal suffrage are very much pleased at these vindications of their claims. The old argument that the women did not want the ballot and would not vote has been successfully refuted by actual demonstration. Reports from all portions of the state show that the woman vote will be very heavy, though the ratio will not be so large in the mining districts, where the male population largely predom- inates. Partisanship among the women is very high, and the probability is that the most of them will vote straight tickets. This result will also in a measure be due to the fact that the system of voting in this state makes scratching rather a tedious proceed- ing. Nothing since the adoption of the Aus- tralian ballot system has more contributed to quietness than the presence of women at the polls. The usual campaign newspapers’ talk of contemplated bulldozing of the voters was indulged in, and the result has been that men who have not voted before in years because they detested the annoyance attendant upon the effort appeared at the pols today with their wives, mothers or daughters to be sure that they received proper treatment. It is safe to say that not one of the 75,000 women who have today exercised the right of franchise in Colorado has received anything but the most cour- teous treatment. CALIFORNIA. The Tendency to Vote Republican and Anti-Railroad. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. SAN FRANCISCO, November 6, 1894. According to latest estimates Geary will be returned to Congress from the first dis- trict. In the second the chances are good for re-election of Caminetti, although the Scuthern Pacific Railroad Company is do- ing ‘ts utmost for Grove L. Johnson of Sacramento. In the third district the dem- cerats have slight hopes that Warren En- elish will beat Hilborn. There was no dovbt that Maguire would be returned from the fourth district until yesterday, when {t became apparent that he will have a hard struggle with Shannon, and the re- sult is doubtful. All is chaos in the fifth district. Loud is pitted against Denman and Kelly, both democrats. Kelly was the regular nominee of the democratic conven- tion, but the state central committee took his name off the ticket because of his al- leged connection with municipal frauds in San Francisco. Denman, an independent democrat, was substituted for Kelly, but the latter may hold enough votes to return Loud. There is no foretelling the result. Patton is the anti-railroad and democratic candidate in the sixth district, and the re- sult of the fight between him and McLach- lan, republican, will bé taken as a test of the anti-monopoly strength of Los Angeles. ‘There ts little doubt that Bowers will de- feat Alford, democrat, and be returned from the seventh. The two great elements cf the contest in California are that It Is conceded to be both a republican year and an anti-railroad year, two facts that can- not occupy the same place in this state. Republicans Claim to Have Won a Decided Victory. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, November 6,—The republt- cans are very confident of success in Con- necticut. Pigott, democrat, and possibly Deforest will be elected to Congress, but in the other two districts the republicans believe they have won, and they expect to carry the state. NEW HAVEN, Conn., November 6.—The vote here was unusually heavy for an off year. Pigott, the democratic congressional candidate, was cut considerably, but the A. P. A. is not making much showing, on the surface, at least. Republicans maintain that Pigott must have a majority of 1,800}: in elty to win in the district. Reports from Waterbury, Middleto-yn and other towns in the second congressional districts are that Congressman Pigott ran behind his ticket. In this district it ts claimed that the republicans traded votes for the state ticket for congressional votes, They expect that the election on governor will go to the legislature, which is expected to be republican. Wires to the northern and eastern parts of the state are down and no reports heve been received from first and third districts. BRIDGEPORT, Conn., November 6.--The election here was the quietest In years. De- forest, democratic candidate for Congress, was extensively scratched, It is claimed. Reports from Ncrwalk and Danbury state that the hatters cut Deforest in those places. This city is democratic, but indi- cations point to a falling off of majority, INDIANA, INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., November 6.—Ex- President Benjamin Harrison sauntered leisurely down to his voting precinct in the second ward this forenoon and took his place in the chy to the ballot box, he chatted wit around him. From his short st stall, the Inference is drawn that little or no scratchtmy. ‘The same old trouble that has come up every election day has again been experienc- the did ed at the poor farm today. The paupers are being voted and the republicans are protest- ing, but without any visible effect. O1TO. CLEVELAND, Ohio; \Noyember 6.—As the day wore on the storm apated somewhat, but the weather continue@ extremely un- pleasant. By noon it wag estimated that at least half of the-full vote had been polled, notwithstanding ythe storm, which, at times during the mer! had assumed the proportions of a bili Several ad- ditional arrests for tilegul, voting were made, but there was no distgr¥ence or trouble of any kind reported. he republicans are claiming the election ef their entire ticket, while the democrats persist that their can- didate for Congress, Tom L. Johnson, wil! certainly carry the district by a safe ma- Jority. LOUISIA Buck, Democrat, Probably Elected in the Second District. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW ORLEANS,November 6.—Democrats claim that New Orleans will go for Buck in the second congressional district by 4,200 majority. No news has yet been received from the parishes, but Jefferson is expected to give Buck 1,000 majority. Buck will prob- ably be elected by 500 majority. Returns from the first district show that a light vote has been cast—1,384 for Meyer and 799 for Coleman. There has been no news yet from the parishes, Nothing has been heard from the third district. There has been no dis- turbance at any of the polling places. The workingmen’s independent party were de- nied representation at the polls. Fifteen votes were cast for its candidates, Ele:tion continues quiet throughout the state and a heavy vote is being polled. Second district, at noon.—Buck (democrat) has 2,692 majority in seventy city precincts, indicating his yote equal to Davies, who was elected two years ago by 5,500. NEW JERSEY. s Confident of Getting the Leg re. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star, NEW YORK, November 6.—The republi- cans, it 1s belteved, will carry the legislature of New Jersey. It is thought that the ‘demo- crats will carry not more than three of -the elght Representatives to Congress. JERSEY CITY, N. J., November 6.-—-Brisk voting was done at all the pully in this city today, Both republicans and democrats pro- fessed confidence in the rysult. In Hoboken the democrats say they are confident they have carried the city by about 1,300 majority, They say the two democratic candidates for assembly will be elected, as will Col. Stevens for Congress. The repub- leans, on the other hand, are confident. KANSAS, Repablic: GREAT BEND, Kan., November 6.—The republicans will probably carry the county ticket. The populists are equally sure of the county on state ticket. The vote on Jerry Simpson and Long will be very close, with odds In favor of the former. TOPEKA, Kan., November 6.—The voting in Topeka was very heady. It is predicted that the number of ballots east today will exceed those of the presidential year. While both republicans and populists are claiming gains, the indications point to a lerge majority for the republicans in this city. KANSAS CITY, Mo., November 6.—Across the state line In Kansas City, Kan., w men made a Getermined fight to carry the constitutional amendment granting them the privilege of voting in all elections. They were splendidly organized and had active workers at all booths. Aside from the interest manifested In the contest on the woman's suffrage question, the elec- tion for state, congresstonal, legislative and county officers passed off quietly. KENTUCKY. ¢ That Breckinridge’s District Has. Gone Republica: LEXINGTON, Ky., November 6.—Reports from all over Ashland district Indicate a heavy vote. The Breckinridge and ex-con- federate elercent fs voting largely with: the republicans for Judge Denny for Congress. Owens’ friends are discouraged over the outward Indications at the polls, but do not concede defeat. - Colored men are voting in Jarger numbers today than for ten years, democratic elec- tion officers oftering few objections. ILLINOIS. Tho CHICAGO, November 6.—Serious trouble occurred at the town of Lamont on the drainage canal. Through a clerical error an insufficient number of ballots was sent to the place and the canal laborers, angered at the oversight, gathered in a disorderly crowd and announced that they intended to vote, whether they had ballots or not. Sixty deputy sheriffs were hurried to the scene and it was thought the force would be sufti- cient to quell the disturbance. It was gen- erally believed that the populist vote in the city would not exceed 35,000. The town of Pullman was thought to have been carried by the people's party, and the vote in stock yards and railroad quarters was large, but outside of the populists strongholds the vote was thought to be far short of the party leaders’ claims. At populist headquart-rs, however, it was claimed that the vote would reach 100,000. CHICAGO, November 6.—William Lorrt- mer, republican candidate for Congress from the second district, was thrown head over heels from the voting place in the Lamont Town Hall this afternoon. Tweaty-five deputy sheriffs sent ‘ffen Chfeago to that ‘township to preserve ‘order were'thrust into jail at Lamont. Justice ¢f the Peace Wimer refused to release them on bail. This pro- ceeding was what precipitated: the conflict ‘that resulted in the éhief of ‘police of La- mont taking Lorrimer into his arms and carrying him into the street. ~~ NEBRASKA. of Fraud Made by Both Sides. OMAHA, Neb., November 6.—At 1 o'clock reports from all parts of the state indicate the heaviest vote in the state's history. The weather throughout the state Is fa- vorable for a heavy country vote and the populists are encouraged over the pros- pects. Severe weather would, it is claim- ed, have meant success fer the republican ticket, but the situation Is now quite ta- vorable to the fusion candidates. Trouble has occurred In some localities over dlfier ence of opinion of clerks and judges of elec- tion, touching the manner of handling sample ballots, some voters claimng the right to carry into the booths sample bal- lots from which to prepare their votes. On account of the rumers of fraudulent vot- Ing it is quite probable ¢ a contest will Charges occur on the state ticket ip any event un- less the plurality is overwhelming. NORTH CARO’ pt AL RALEIGH, N. C., November 6.—Perfect order prevails. The indications are squarely for the democrats in the city and county. They will probably lose this city by 400, but hope to overcome that in the county, MICHIGAN. DETROIT, Mich., November 6.—Nearly 900 laborers employed by the Detroit Gae Company, on the streets were forbidden permission to vote by their employers. Tie superintendent claims the reason was sole- ly because the lateness of ihe season de- manded that the work be pushed. When United States Senator McMillan, Who {3 chairman of the republican central state committee, offered his ballot to the Inspector at the polls today it was dis- covered that the Senator had omitted to register. He was consequently debarred from voting, to the amusement of both his political friends and opponents. NORTH DAKOTA. FARGO, N. D., November 6.—The weath- er is clear and a full vote is being cast. All over the state a fight Is being made on resubmission and other interests are lost sight of. The demgcrats are scratch- ing the populist candidate on the fusion lcket. It looks !ike a close race between Kinter em.) and Allin (rep.) for gov- ernor, SOUTH CAROLINA. COLUMBIA, 8. C., November 6.—There is a report here that there was an elec- tion riot at T.amars, Darlington county, during which three or four men were wounded. . CHARLESTON, 8. C., November 6.—First returns in are from Abbev.lle and give Evens (dem.) for governor, 223; Pope 360. New Berry county, so far, Evans, 124; Pope, 484. Benfort county, Elliott for Con- gress (dem.), 284; Murray, (rep.), 134. Elliott @em.) for Congress, 2,836; ray (rep.), 258. CHARLESTON, 8. C., November 6.— Twenty-three precincts out of a total of twenty-eight im this county give for Con- gress: Ellott (dem.), 2,505; Murray (colored) (rep.), 341. Mur- TENNESSEE. NASHVILLE, Tenn., November 6.—Re- Ports from the state indicate a fair vote, with some anomalous conditions, which render it difficult to make estimates as to the results. The prevailing belief is that the democrats will win, with reduced majorities. MISSOURI. Thought Probable That Joy Has Been Defented. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. ST, LOUIS, Mo., November 6, 18%. Joy, republican, who was unseated for O'Neil, is probably defeated by Espenchild in the eleventh congressional district. The tide has turned in the twelfth in favor of Cobb, and he may be elected. There is said to be much corruption at the polls. ST, LOUIS, November 6.—In the second ward Stephen Dellacella, commander of the ltallan-American cavalry organization of this city, was arrested for carrying a sti- letto, but gave bond. PENNSYLVANIA. PITTSBURG, Pa., November 6.—The elec- tion in this city was noted for the great number of challenges by republican watch- ers. Several thousand voters were chal- lenged at the polls on the ground that they had not paid a state or county tax in two years, Many of them had their tax re- ceipts in their pockets and others could not vote. Reports from the twenty-fourth con- gressional district show republican gains, although the democrats still claim the dis- trict. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., November 6.—The law enacted by the last legislature making election day a legal holiday was in force for the first time today, and the principal streets wore a holiday’ appearance, being crowded with men and women dressed in their best. The first sign of trouble in the third congressional district came when three democratic inspectors from the ninth, fourteenth and eighteenth divisions of the fifth ward appeared before Judge Reed at 12:30 o’clock and declared that the repub- lean election judges in these divisions re- fused to allow them to perform their duty. Judge Reed sent court ofhcers to the trou- bled regions with instructions to arrest the men if they persisted in turning down the democratic inspectors. Special Police- man Lynch of the fifth ward has been ar- rested for interference. MARYLAND. . Republicans Have Probably Elected Coffin and Wellingte to Congress. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, November 6.—A very heavy vote has been polled in the city and state. The indications now are that the democrats have carried the city by a reduced majority, but that Rusk (democrat) {s re-elected to Congress in the third district; Cowen (demo- crat), in the fourth district; that Kerr (emocrat) is elected judge of the supreme bench, and that the democrats have elected a majority of the city council. Chairman Rusk claims that the demo- crats have polled a larger majority than was expected and the republicans concede that the democrats have carried the towns. Re- ports from the interior of the state indicate that Coffin, republican, has carried Anne Arundel county and has defeated Rogers, democrat, for Congress in the fifth district and that Wellington, republican, is clected in the sixth district. * The democrats have undoubtedly carried the first and second -districts as well as the third and fourth. Republicans concede the election of Miles and Henry in the first and Talbott (dem.) in the second by reduced majorities. Montgomery County, Bethesda district, Montgomery county, Md., gives Wellington (rep.) 112; Williams (@em.), 159. CUMBERLAND, Md., November 6.—This town is perfectly wild tonight. The streets are overcrowded and pandemonium reigns. The vote was the largest ever polled in the different districts in this city. Williams’ friends are very despondent, while Wel- lington feels sure of success. VIRGINIA, Democrats Have Elected Eight and Probably Nine Congressmen, Special Dispatch to The Evening Sta RICHMOND, Va., November 6.—Reports from nearly all of the congressional di tricts In Virginia up to 8 p.m. indicate that a much lighter vote was polled than was ex- pected. This s due in a large measure to the failure of the negroes to vote the new Walton ballot law. This law, which is given a full trial for the first time today, is a modification of the Austvalian ballot sys- tem, and one of the requirements to vote intelligently is to know how to read. ‘The illiterate negroes either through tira- idity, superstition or sensitiveness refraincd from entering the booth or in any way at- tempting te vote. As a result the demo- crats, it is belleved, have elected at least eight out of the ten Congressmen and pos- sibly nine. The democratic leaders tonight claim them all, but it is thought by many that either the sixth or ninth districts will be lost to the democrats. * In this tity (third district) there was great slump in the negro vote, which in- sures the election of Col. Tazewell Ellet (dem.) to succeed Capt. George D. Wise. The meager returns up to this: hour make certain the re-election of W. A. Jones in the first; C. A. Swanson, in the fifth; S. 8. Turner, in the severth; E, E. Meredith, in the eighth, and H. St. George Tucker, in, the tenth. It will be midnight before defi- nite returns are received. Reports indicate the adoption of the constitutional amend- nent reducing the criminal expenses in the state. RICHMOND, Va., November 6—Half of the precincts in Richmond city heard from officially give Ellett (dem.), for Congress 2,000 majority over Southard (rep.). te: aN ANOTHER SMALLPOX CASE. Laura Davis, a White Woman, the Latest Victim of the Disease. Shortly after 6 o'clock this evening the quarantine station was notified that there was a suspected case of smallpox at 212 F street northwest. Dr. Elliott ordered the wagon hitched up and drove at once to the house. There he found Laura Davis, .a white weman, aged nineteen, suffering from the dread disease. It appears that Miss Davis is a boarder in the house, and the proprietress declined to allow her to remain. She was accordingly taken to the smallpox hespital and given over to Dr. Nevitt.

What Minister Gana Says of the Re- cent Resignations, Minister Gana of Chile says concerning the reports that the president and vice president of the Chilean senate have re- signed, as @ recult of the conversion laws, that the laws direct the payment in gold of the paper money or notes issued in 1879. The notes were somewhat similar to the American greenback, but were issued whol- ly on the. faith of the government, and nol convertible into coin. It was found that the exchanges were badly affected by the unsecured notes, so that the Chilean con- gress passed a law making them convertible into gold in July, 1896. At present an ele- ment in Chile is urging that the date of the conversion shall not be put off until 1896, and it is on this question that the senate officers have resigned, according to unoffi- cial advices. Senor Gana says the president and vice president of the senate are elected monthly, in order to keep them responsive to the sentiments of that body. Minister Gana ‘learns from his fountry that the mining expcsition in progress there is very successful, although States exhibits are not all that could have been wished. The German and British ex- hibits are elaborate, the former being aided by the German government. ‘Concerning the amnesty laws of Chile re- cently announced through the State De- partment, Senor Gana says they are much broader than has been understood. They cover all persons in any way charged with | offenses during the Balmaceda | political Tegime, or subsequent thereto. This will have the effect, the minister says, of having many persons return to Chile. —— Rival C ma im Cnlifornia, SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, November 6.— ‘The chairman of the republican state com- mittee claims that Estee’s plurality fo: governor will exceed 20,000, The chairman of the democratic state committee claims a Plurality of 12,000 for Budd. the United | Te proof of the pudding is in fe eating.

NEW YORK, November 6—It looks as i: Hill might have in New York city hardly as many hundred plurality as there were thousands claimed for him. Morton has carried Kings county by a good majority if early returns indicate anything. Congress is being lost sight of in the interests in the state and city ti¢kets. It Is hard to tell what the democrats have saved out of the delegation. Republicans May Elect All Five gresnmen, The indications are that the republicans have elected all five representatives to Con- gress from Kings county. The Complete Snowunder, Returns from 600 out of the 1,141 election districts in New York city give Hill but about 2,300 plurality. This sufficiently showd how complete is the democratic snowunder, Grant concedes his defeat. JP. M Tammany Beaten All Row NEW YORK, November 6.—The New York Sun says: In an interview with Policg Justice Grady, he says that Tammany it beaten all around. How They Exph it. The difficulty experienced by the ignorant, clumsy voters in preparing their ballotd cost the democrats thousands of votes. Morton's majority will be very large, but hardly as large as Mr. Hackett claims. Con- servatives place It at 60,000 or 70,000. NEW YORK, November 6.—The republi- cans are rejoiced over the indications of the result of the New York election given by returns up to 7:80. They regurd it as show- ing that their most sanguine hopes will be realized when the count is completed. They think that when all the returns are in it will be found that both Hill and Grant have been deeply snowed under, and that in the storm the democrats will lose heavily from their congressional delegation. But small crowds watching the re- turns, but there is a constant cheering about the bulletin boards as one bulletin after another favorable to the republicans is displayed . As nearly as can be learn- ed the total vote was much reduced by the time taken by voters to prepare ballots: Out of fifty-five election districts in this city heard from at 7:35, Hill lead Morton by but 1,700. CHAIRMAN HACKETT’S CLAIM. Democrats Won't Have Over Ten New York Congre: Special Dispatch to The Evering Star, NAW YORK, Nov. 6.—Chairman Hack- ett saye that the democrats will not have more than ten Congressmen in New York state. He does not think they wiil have as many. Republicans estimate that the dis- aster to the democrats in New York indi- cates a state of public sentiment, which will give the house to the republicans by 15 or 20 majority. Returns at republican headquarters show that while the republican gains in the upper part of the state are not as startling as in New York city and Brooklyn, they are uni- form and great. They Indicate a majority exceedingly large even for that section of the state. Chairman Hackett says that the returns fully warrant his claim of 150,000 plurality for Morton. oo M ILLINOIS.
