KING ARRIVES IN LONDON Powers Insist on Order in the Turkish Empire. A DIPLOMAT’S PERIL LONDON, November 6.—Practically all the Clyde engineers are idle, as the bulk of them refused to go to work this morning as a protest against the action of the ship- builders yesterday, who posted notices lock- ing out 25 per cent of the employes in their yards. Only members of the unions were locked out. The lock-out is in sympathy with the Belfast shipbuilders, whose em ployes recently struck work.

CUMBERLAND, Md., November 6.—The result of yesterday’s election is far beyond the expectations of Lloyd Lowndes. He was kept up until an early hour this morn- ing, and was allowed to retire only after making e@ short speech to the thousands of men who gathered in front of his residence at abcut 4 o’clock this morning. Mr. Lowndes arose at about 8 o’clock and at once began reading the congratulatory telegrams which came pouring in upon him from all over the country, a few of which are as follows: , “As the successful leader of a popular revolt, splendid in its proportions, accept my cordial congratulations. “JOHN V. L. FINDLAY.” “I salute you as the next governor of Maryland. May your administration be for the best interests of the whole state. “FRANK BROWN.” “Cordial congratulations on your signal and deserved success. 8. B. ELKINS.” A Star reporter called ypon Mr. Lowndes this. morning. Said Mr. Lowndes: “I knew the people were tired of being subjected to the boss government which has predomimated for so many years past. I do not consider this a_party victory,” continued Mr. Lowndes, “I ‘know that the independent people have done much toward my election. "Tis an uprising of the people and a triumph over the rixgsters.” “My party,” said Mr. Lowndes, “have a difficult task before them, and my influence will be to advise and lead them on con- servative principles, and unless this is done we cannot expect to hold the state. The people wan* reform in state and municipal matters, an: my endeavors will be to give it to them, varrying out the platform as adopted at the Cambridge convention. “I shell show the people that I want just what I sald in my campaign, and shall en- deavor, with God's help, to give them a good, clean administration.” Mr. Lowndes is jubilant over the victory. In this county David W. Sloan, republi- can, was elected judge; Col. G. A. Pearce, republican, state’s attorney; August Miller, Fepuphcnn, sheriff, and a full republican icket. — MARYLAND SENATE. Democrats Will Have Fourteen Out of Twenty-Six Senators. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, November 6.—It is now sure that the democrats have elected five demo- cratic senators, as follows: Bennett in Car- roll, Bond in Calvert, Michael in Harford, Finley in Queen Anne's and Jack in Wicomis co. The democrats have nine hold-over sen- ators, and will thus have 14 of the 26 sena- ters in the body, and be able, doubtless, to cause the republican majority considerable trouble. > MONTGOMERY'S VOTE. A Close Contest and the Democratic Majority Greatly Reduced. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. ROCKVILLE, November 6.—Montgomery county, Md., gave a greatly reduced demo- eratic majority on the state ticket, al- though Miller, the republican candidate for judge, was severely cut by his party. Hen- derson (dem.), for judge, carried Montgom- ery by nearly 800 plurality, while Hurst's plurality over Lowndes Is less than fifty. The demcecrats probably elect their full county ticket, although Dawson, republi- can, for state's attorney, ran very close to Kilgovr, and Lewis is close to an election to the legislature. The Colesville district showed Hurst, 200; Lowndes, 270; Miller, 37 majority; Kilgour, 20; Dawson, 265.

A ROMANTIC MARRIAGE Mr. White and Miss Hislop Wedded Under Singular Circumstances. Sensational Evidence Developed in Dr. Hislop’s Trial in the Police Court. ‘There was a wedding last evening at the residence of Mrs. Edward Morgan, 1132 10th street, which had all the interesting feat- ures of an up-to-date romance. The hero and the heroine of the story were Mr. J. K. White and Miss Gertrude Hislop. Mr. White is a draughtsman in the Post Office Department, and his bride was the adopted daughter of Dr. Margaret Hislop, 313 M street. For some time past Mr. White has been paying devoted attention to the young lady of his choice, but of late the course of love has run by no means smooth. Dr. Hislop has a brother, Dr. William L. Hislop, a dentist, who makes his home with his sis- ter. The relations between the two young men have been somewhat strained, and yesterday afternoon Mr. White received a letter from Miss Hislop, the outcome of which was that he hurried to the Police Court and swore out a warrent charging the dentist with making threats. The war- rant was served and the young couple were married while Dr. William Hislop was de- tained at No. 2 station house. Later in the evening he was released on $200 bond. Evidence in the Police Court. It was thought that having obtajned his wife, Mr. White would let the case against young Hislop drop, but this he did not do. The wedding was out of the ordinary, but the evidence in Folice Court this morning developed a sensation of even greater mag- nitude. Mr. White told at some length the rea- sons he had for being afraid of the other man, and finally the defendant was placed on the stand. He stated that he was the brother of Mrs. White’s guardian, and had rever done more than show a proper in- terest in the young woman's welfare. Dr. Margaret Hislop, who is a maiden lady, then took the stand in her brother's behalf. She said that they had always opposed the young lady's marriage and did rot thirk Mr. White was a suitable man. Was the Young Lady’s Mother. “Are you this young Jady’s guardian’ asked Judge Miller. “Yes, sir.” “Were you appointed guardian by the court?” “Ne, sir.” “Then how did you get control of her?” “F am her mother,” said Dr. Margaret Hislop in a low voice. This answer created a genuine surprise in the court rocm. “Is your husband dead?" Dr. Margaret Hislop in a low voice stated that he was not. Mrs. White was again questioned, and stated that she remembered little of her early life except that she had lived in Wis- consin and went with Dr. Hislop when she was about twelve years old. + Dentist Hislop was recalled and Judge Miller, who did not seem to understand the situation, asked him how it came about that he and tis sister had the same name; was he her brother-in-law? No, sir; my sister is not married.” ‘The evidence in the case did not make out any very heinous offense against the den- tist, and he was placed under $200 bonds to keep the peace. SUGAR TRUST. ‘The Cases of the Contumacious Wit- neases to Come. District Attorney Birney stated to a Star reporter this afternoon that he would hard- ly be able to call up the sugar trust cases before next Monday. The cases of the alleged contuma- clous witnesses—Messrs. Chapman, Ma- cartney, Edwards, Shriver, Havemeyer, Seymour and Searles—will, sald Mr. Bir- ney, be tried before Judge Cole in Criminal Court No. 1.” ‘That court would, however, be occupied, he thought, the rest of the week with the Young will case, and for that reason the sugar trust cases could not be called this week. Upon the conclusion of those cases, it be- ing his intention to first try Broker Elver- ton R. Chapman, Mr. Birney said he would call for trial the case of Benj. H. Milliken, the young man who Is charged with break- ing into the residence of Judge Phillips on the evening of the 4th of last July with in- tent to assault his daughter. Ss Wills Filed. ‘The will of the late Lizzie S. Lamb, dated September 21, 1891, and filed today, gives a lot on Columbia Heights and one at Glen Echo, Md., neither being more fully describ- ed, to the widower, Daniel S. Lamb, for life. At his death the-proceeds therefrom are to be equally divided between Lillie and Robert Lamb, children of the deceased. The per- sonalty is divided among the children aud Sallie Scott Jones, a sister, and premises 0 M street are left equally to the children, Lille, Lizzie, Robert and F. Lamb.

Mr. McGill, register of wilis, had an in- terview with the President at the White House today, and took occasion te thank him for his appointment. Mr. M. M. Parker Has a Bicycle Fall. Ex-District Commissioner Myron M. Par- ker, while riding a bicycle yesterday evening near Thomas Circle, was thrown heavily to the ground and his face and head bruised and his arm sprained. Fortunately no bones were broken, and, with the exception of being somewhat incommoded for a few days, Mr. Parker will be in no wise the worse for the accident. ———— The Result in Omaha. OMAHA, Neb., November 6.—Broatel, an ALP. A., is elected by 300 over Brown (cit- izens’) for mayor. Here is another suggestion for the business man who adver- tises or ought to advertise. Advertising space is valuable in proportion to the extent and character of circulation of the advertising medium. The Star’s advertising rate for a given space for three months or more is less than 5 cents per line, without changes; for ten thousand lines to be used within a year, changes at will, the rate is 74 cents per line. The Star’s circulation is be- lieved to be five times that of any afternoon paper in Wash- ington—no other afternoon pa- per makes public its circulation. On this basis it is therefore easy to calcylate that a fair rate for space in other afternoon papers would be one cent a line where The Star charges five and 1} cents a line as against The Star’s charge of 7% cents. A BLOW TO FUSION|ACCUSES HIS WIFE How New York Politicians Regard the Result, ¥ WHAT REPUBLICANS ACCOMPLISHED A Plurality of 85,000 is Now In- dicated. BROOKLYN IS ALSO CARRIED Spectal Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, November 6.—Some of the extraordinary results of yesterday’s extra- ordinary election are beginning to come in for the attention of the politicians this af- ternoon. They are trying to explain how the republicans captured the state by at least $5,000, the legislature, on joint ballot, by at least 65 majority, to say nothing of the elec- tion of Wurster, the reform candidate, mayor of Brooklyn, by a bare 2,000 majority. The general results of the election are sur- prising, but the poiiticians of both parties, who are identified with the machine organi- zations, are unanimous in the belief that the People are tired of the fusion and that mu- nicipal elections, for the next few years at least, will be fought out on straight party lines, as they used to be. The reform party leaders blame the Platt men for the defeat of the local ticket, and the latter-do not deny the charge that they did net work as hard for the success of the local as they did for the state ticket. They point to the majority for the state ticket, however, as an example of what their machine can accomplish without the help of the reform element. Tammany mean take pretty much the same view of the result as the Platt men, but claim that they did not poll their full Party vote. The poor showing made by the state (so- called Cleveland) democracy -and the inde- pendent county organization practically re- moves them from the field and leaves it to the old parties. The most accurate returns received up to 1 o'clock indicates a majority of 85,000 for the republican state ticket, the election of 137 republicans out of the 0 members of the leg:slature, a major:ty for the: Tammany county ticket by 21,000, and the election of Wurster (reform republican) as mayor of eye by an estimated majority of 2,- NEW YORK’S LEGISLATURE, Corrected and Estimated Returns From Throughout the State. NEW YORK, November 6.—A list of the new legislature by corrected returns from nearly all election districts, and careful es- timates in others, shows that the state sen- ate will consist of 35 republicans, 14 demo- crats and one independent, and the assem- Liy will ba made up of 99 republicans and 51 democrats. The city complete gives Palmer, repub- lican, for secretary of state, 97,336; King, democrat, 138,48, a democratic majority of 41,612. Returns received by the Associated Press from all but 497 out of the 3,383 election dis- tricts north of the Harlem river, in New York state, give Palmer, republican, for sec- retary of state, 344,700; King, democrat, 224,715, a republican plurality of 119,994, out- side of New York and Kings counties, showing a republican gain of 26,333, com- pared with 183. Deducting the democratic plurality below the Harlem, the republican plurality in the state at large will be in ex- cess of 70,000, With the total vote in New York city near- ly 60,000 less than it was at the contest for mayor one year ago, Tammany Hall's local ticket polled about 18,000 more ballots than were cast for Hugh J. Grant last Novem- ber, while it is estimated that the anti-Tam- many vote is something like 40,000 smaller than that which was given to Strong in 184. The registration was about 55,000 In excess of the ballots cast. The fusionist leaders admit that for some reason there was an absence this year of the unity of purpose and concert of action that characterized the work of the anti-Tammany forces last year. In this city the majority for the democrat- ic state ticket is approximated 10,000 greater than the average of the majorities for the Tammany local candidates, which are from 25,000 for Sohmer for recorder, to 17,000 for Purroy for county clerk. The last named is the chairman of the Tammany comm‘ttee on organization. THROUGHOUT NEW YORK STATE. In Almost Every County Gen. Palmer Gained. ALBANY, N. Y., November 6.—As the re- turns from the counties north of New York city have come in all predictions of repub- lican Iesses and democratic gains have been noted. Palmer, for secretary of state, whose plurality, it was alleged, would be greatly cut in all northern counties, showed a gain over his vote of '93. In almost every county he had gained, ex- cept possibly New York, Kings and Erie, while his opponent, King, had lost. The only way in which there could be said to be a democratic gain toward normality in the vote was induced by the gain from New York city, where Tammany had made a meager sort of record by obtaining a plu- rality. In counties where the democrats had ex- pected to gain, except at Albany, the gain was not apparent, and the whole support of the democratic state ticket seemed to fall upon New York and Kings county. In Kings couaty the surprise was great. It was the home county of the democratic nominee for secretary of state, and yet it had not polled the vote that it was supposed it would; indeed, it fell far behind. Even Albany county did not come up to the record it was expected to make. It found a favorite in its nominee for secre- tary of state and kept its plurality down to Ene barest kind of plurality for the demo- crat. In the municipalities the democracy won. Tammany is in control of New York city, the Cleveland element is in control in Al- bany and republicans dominate in all other parts of the state. The state majorities for all republican candidates are in excess of any figures thought cf by leaders of any party. David B. Hill will not go back to the Sen- ate at Washington, unless the democrats should elect a big enough majority in the assembly next year to overcome the re- publican majority in the state senate on joint ballot. In New York city the good government or- ganization will not be entitled to print its candidates on the regular ballots next year, if it has a ticket in the field, as it did not poll the 1 per cent of all votes cast necessary under the law for a place. —_—— Prince George’s Republicrn.

Early this morning there was left stand- ing of ‘the big building at the southeast corner cf Broadway and Bleecker street only one triangular wall, which fell shortly before 7 o'clock. Arlington L, Wardjsty Files » Cress Pe- tition. Says His Wife ig immoral and Ad- ON dicted to Stroag Drink—Makes Spewa’ Charges. Arlington L. Hrardisty, ‘who was sued for divorce by Annis S*Cammack Hardisty on the 16th of September, today filed his answer to his wife's charges. The defendant is a young blacksmith, and his wife is the daughter of a well-known resident of this city, John Cammack, who fs said to be possessed of considerable means. The young people eloped in October, 1890, it is said, and were married in Balti- more. The runaways lived happily togeth- er for quite a while, apparently. But, in petitioning for a divorce, Mrs. Har- disty charged her husband with being en bmbitual and confirmed drunkard for more than three years prior to the filing of her petition. She also charged him with non-support, and with spending $18,000 of ber money ‘In an effort to satisfy his al- leged craving for intoxicating Mquors. In his answer, however, the husband not only absolutely denies all sueh charges, but makes grave charges against his wife. Counter Charges. In his answer the young husband states that at the time of the marriage he was a sober, industrious man of , twenty-four years, in good circumstances and working at his trade. In a few weeks—in a few days, in fact—he claims, his wife developed habits of profligacy, immorality and waste before unknown to him. These alleged habits, he declares, often led him to neg- lect his business to accompany her in his passionate desire tg please, indalge and de- light his wife. Denying absolutely that he is or has been a drunkard, and that he spent his wife's money to gratify his desire for drink, Mr. Hardisty charges that his wife has been, during the entire period of her married life, extremely addicted to the use of intoxicat- ing liquors, and he says that whatever money of hers has been spent for such pur- poses was expended by herself to gratify her own desires, and not for him. Her sep- arate estate, he says, she kept in her own name in bank, making her purchases in her own name, and that she so kept and dis- bursed all the money he made. Infidelity Charged. The husband then goes on to charge that Mrs. Hardisty, for almost the continuous pericd of their married life, “has been dis- solute in her habits, frequenting places of amusemert and resorts of questicnable character, taking long trips to distant cities with other men.” And he further charges on different occasions she “has traveled by rail or boat to places, paying the expenses of fare for traveling as well as for the eating and drinking of intoxi- eating liquor of lewd, licentious and treach- ercus inale companions, staying away from heme of nights.” All of those things, he says, were contrary to, his will and con- sent, protests and remonstrances. He charges that his wife, because of her fondness for other men, willfully deserted him the 10th of last January, leaving the house which he, through her father’s boun- ty, had provided forther at Sligo, Md. Then Mr. Hardisty goes on to state that he Is in- formed and believes that his wife is now continually living unlawfully and cohabiting with one James Osborne. The James Osborne referred to by Mr.Har- disty is said to be engaged as a bartender at the Emrich ‘Motel, this city, and it is understood that*he denies the husband's oo so far; at/least, as they concern im. e Se THE REGISTER'S REPORT Record of the Transaeticns in Bonds and ee ‘The annual report of Mr. Tillman, regis- ter of the treasury, was made public today.

Mr. B. H. Warner's Address at the Spencerian Business College. Mr. B. H. Warner yesterday delivered an address to the students of the Spencerian Business College on the “Personal Habits and Life of Young Men Outside of Busi- ness Hours.” He said that the question was often asked what business it was to their employers how employes occupied their time after business hours. “It is so much their business.” he replied, “that large companies have been established in great cities, occupying buildings. reaching up to the sky, for the express purpose of guar- anteeing the private character and habits, and hence the business integrity of young men applying for positions. The morning malls to Washington are laden with in- quiries concerning the personal life of young men. And business men find it necessary and prudent to pay well for the services of men whose business it ts to ascertain where and how their employes spend their evenings.

Unhappy Termination of His Mar- ringe With Margaret Mather. From the St. Louls Globe-Democrat. Col. Gustav Pabst, son of Frederick Pabst, the brewer, is about to bring snit for divorce fror.. his wife, Margaret Mather- Pabst, who was formerly well known as an actress. At present Col. Pabst is absent from Milwaukee and has been out of town for several weeks. His attorney in the case is A, A. L. Smith, who, when asked about this suit, admitted that proceedings would be brought. Aside from this, °Mr. Smith refused to say anything. The case grows out of the trouble that occurred be- tween Col. and Mrs. Pabst on the public street in Milwaukee a number of weeks ago. Miss Mather’s attorney is Gen. Hora- tio C. King, a prominent member of the New York bar. Miss Mather spent the summer of 1892 in a cottage at Lakeside and Col. Pabst, who was a visitor at Louis Auer’s place across the lake, was a frequent visitor to Lake- side. When Miss Mather commenced her season in the far west Col. Pabst was re- ported to be traveling with the company. Some time in November it became known in Milwaukee that they had been married, the ceremony having taken place in a Kenosha clergyman’s residence. Soon after they came to Milwaukee, where they have since resided. Mrs. Pabst, who is still at the Milwaukee residence, would not make any statement about the case. 4 —--e0e—______ Peanu Will Be Scarce. From the Jacksonville Citizen. Peanuts will be a very short crop this year, according to the reports from all over the south collected by a central hand- ling house in Cincinnati. The great heat and long drought during the late summer and early fall seriously impaired both the qvantity and quality of the crop. The Virginia crop will most likely be but half the size of last year’s, and in quality will be much below the average. The Ten- nessee crop will be short, but the quality of the nuts is better than in Virginia. But in face of this depressing news concerning a great American staple, it is reassuring to know that successful experiments in rais- ing peanuts have been made in many parts of the country hitherto considered inhos- pitable. Washington and Oregon fariners have raised good crops this year, and a Biddeford, Me., farmer tells this week of having just harvested a good though small crop. THE OLMSTEAD WILL CASE Some Interesting Testimony in Oourt Today. Evidence to Show That Mr. Olmstend's Treatment of His Wife Wx Not the Best. The testimony of Mrs. Linda Hutchinson Webb, the contestant in the Olmstead will case, was concluded just previous to the adjournment of the trial yesterday after- noon, and she was followed on the witness stand by Mrs. Emily G. Ramsdell, a friend for many years of the Hutchinson family. Mrs. Ramsdell’s examination had progress- ed but a few minutes, however, when the court adjourned for the day. In resuming the stand today Mrs. Rams- dell recalled an occasion some time are- vious to the estrangement between Mr. and Mrs. Olmstead and Mrs. Hutchinson and Mrs. Webb when Mrs. Olmstead called upon her. Mrs. Olmstead, stated Mrs. Ramséell, remarked that she was very un- happy and miserable, and intimated that her unhappiness was due to the legal pro- ceedings which Mr. Olmstead was insisting upon against Mrs. Olmstead’s mother and sister. Mrs. Ramsdell endeavored, she said, to comfort Mrs, Olmstead by telling her that perhaps she would not be compelled to join in the proceedings against her mother, but Mrs. Olmstead, sobbing, declared that she could not escape it, and that she loved her mother dearly. Gov. Cronby’s Testimony. The cross-examination of Mrs. Ramsdell developed nothing new, and ex-Goy. John 8. Crosby of Montana, took the witness stand. He stated that he was a friend of the Hutchinson family, and said that in 1884, during the estrangement between the Olmsteads and Mrs. Hutchinson and Mrs. Webb, he met Mrs. Olmstead on the street. He asked her now it was that she was not visiting her mother’s house, and she re- plied, “Because I am afraid.” “afraid of whom?” he asked. “Afraid of Frank” (Mr. Olmstead), Mra. Olmstead explained. On cross-examination Gov. Crosby said that he had dined on several occasions with the Hutchirsons, but could not, after the lapse of ten years, recall the exact dates. “I should hardly ask you to give us the bills of fare,” said Mr. Davis. “Nor could I give them,” said the wit- ness, “further than to say that they were very good.’" “I presume so,” remarked Mr. Davis, suavely; “that was the reputation they usually had.” ‘The next witness placed upon the stand was Mrs. Emma Hutchinson Nesbitt, a niece of the late Wm. Hutchinson. She said she was at the Hutchinson house a number of times when both Mr. and Mrs. Olmstead were present. On one occasion she remembered that in the course of a general conversation Mr. Olmstead told his wife to keep quiet; that he “was doing the talking.” Mrs. Nesbitt said that his manner on that occasion was yery dic- tatorial, and she also told of several other incidents going to show his bearing toward Mrs. Olmstead. Mr. Olmstead’s Manner. Mrs. Nesbitt said that on one occasion, after Mrs. Hutchinson had given Mrs. Olmstead a new brougham, Mrs. Olmstead went to the telephone and asked her hus- band if she might use her new carriage. Mr. Olmstead evidently refused, for Mrs. Nesbitt said she heard Mrs. Olmstead say: “Please, Frank, let me use it.” She re- peated this request, but the incident ended in her ordering out her old coupe. On the occasion of Mrs. Webb's sickness, which lasted for some little time, Mr. and Mrs. O:mstead neither called at the house nor sent to inquire about the condition of the sick woman. Continuing, Mrs. Nesbitt said that Mr. Olmstead’s manner toward his wife was frequently that of a bully. His manner toward Mrs. Hutchinson was much the same as it was toward his wife. Mrs. Olm- stead’s manner was that of a sweet-tem- pered, patient and submissive woman. To her mother she was devoted and affection- ate. Mrs. Hutchinson was very generous to both daughters and treated them im- partially. The major part of Mrs. Olm- stead’s wardrobe came in the form of pres- ents from her mother. On cross-examination Mrs. Nesbitt told of the beginning of her intimacy with the Washington branch of the Hutchinson fam- ily, and especially with Mrs. Olmstead, and then a recess was taken until 1 o'clock. THE MASSACHUSETTS ELECTION. Notable Features of the Contest Yes- terday. Special Dispatch to ‘The Evening Star. BOSTON, Mass., November 6.—Massachu- setts went republican yesterday by a plu- rality of 64,473, substantially the same mar- gin as last year. The total vote is: Green- halge, 186,048, against 189,821 last year; while Williams, democrat, received 121,575, against 118,149 for Russell in 1894. Boston was carried by Mr. Williams by a plurality of 2,241. The vote was 32,485 for Williams and 30,244 for Greenhalge. Woman Suffrage. On the question whether it is expedient for municipal suffage to be granted to wo- men, the vote in this city was, “Yes,” 22,- 021; “No,” 41,912—an adverse majority of 19,891. It will be observed that the total vote on this question was about the size of the total vote for governor, showing that even if it did come at the tall end of the ballot, it was not neglected. Of course, there were a good many thousand men— ten, perhaps—who did not vote on the ques- tion, but the size of the vote was, never- theless, satisfactory to those most deeply Interested in the subject. There was fear that it would be more seriously neglected. The total registration of women through- out the commonwealth, as calculated prior to the election, will not fall below 29,000, nor exceed 32,000. Of this number, only 37 per cent voted, and all but 3 per cent voted in favor of the proposition. Wellesly Col- lege girls held a vote of their own on suf- frage, and decided, “Yes,” 310; “No,” 149. The vote did not follow party lines at all. The suffragists are not discouraged. Mrs. Eliza Trask Hill, president of the indepen ent women voters, in speaking of the vote on woman suffrage, said: “J do rot consider this vote on woman's suffrage any test of public opinion, but it will enable us to poll a larger vote for the school boards. If the test had been taken a month hence there would have been four times as many people yoted, as they are now just beginning to be awakened to the mat- ter.” ‘The complexion of the legislature will not be materially changed. There will be a gain of two senators for the democrats, giving them six of the forty members of the body. There are a few gains for the democrats in the house, but their representation will only be about fifty in a total membership of 2140. Dr. William Everett was yesterday de- feated as a candidate for the house of rep- resentatives. In Senator Lodge's home, Nahant, the woman suffrage movement received a most chilling reception. Out of 155 voters 91 voted on the referendum, and of the latter number only one was gallant enough to vote “Yes.” The remaining 90 voted “No.” The Gayhead Indians evidently dodged the woman suffrage issue, for only 12 votes were recorded thereon. Of these three wero in favor of granting to women the right to vote; nine were opposed to it. Dallinger, the republican candidate for the senate for Cambridge, beat Dennison by nearly 1,000 votes. Judge Corcoran was defeated for the senate in the third Worcester district by William H. Cook, editor of the Milford Journal. Gov. Greenhalge, in speaking of his elec- tion, sald: “The election shows that the pecple are steadfast. They are not easily swayed by false issues and specious argu- ments. They are inclined to support public officers who try to show diligence, care and irtelligence in the performance of duty. Small mistakes are overlooked in a broad view of an administration.” The Result in Frederick. Special Dispatch to ‘The Evening Star. FREDERICK, Md., November 6.—The plurality for the republican state and county tickets in Frederick county is 7v0. Guion Miller, for judge,“ fell behind his tleket, his plurality being 450. [FINANCE AND TRADE Selling Industrials the Feature of the Day. OPENING P.ICES WERE MOSTLY HIGHER Granger Shares Lead in a Railway Decline. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS ——_-+_—_ Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, November 6.—Pronounced liquidation in the several industrial prop- erties was the most Significant feature of today’s stock market, and resulted in con- cessions ranging from 1 to 4 per cent. Opening prices were in a majority of in- stances marked up substantially from Mon- day’s final figures, but served only to at- tract selling orders, The decline was conducted by several of the more prominent bear operators, and was not seriously opposed, the occasional covering of short contracts being the only noticeable element of strength. Sugar sold under par, as was promised earlier in the week, and seems likely to continue the program usually used at this season of the year. American Tobacco ard Distillers were freely sold, and developed little rallying power as the day progressed. Tennessee Coal and Iron, after a protract- ed period of disappointment, was forced dcwn on selling attributed to lack of faith on the part of those who were persuaded to buy at much higher prices. In the railway list proportionate declines were recorded, the Granger shares, Burling. ton leading, being the features. The unscitled condition of the continen‘al markets and disquieting Parisian cables were responsible for the decline in this de- partment. A decline in Turkish securities added to the financial troubles of the active traders on the Bourse, and several firms were reported to be in doubt as to their abili- ty to meet outstanding obligations. An ex- tension of time has been granted, however, and trouble may yet be avoided. —— FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, The following are the opening, the high- est and the lowest uad the closing prices of the New York stock market today, as re- ported by Corson & Macartney, ‘members New Ycrk stock exchange.
