STATES CONSIDERED AS DOUBTFUL Indications That Favor the Repub- lican Candidate. SUMMING UP THE STATES —_+—_—_ Neither national chairman has modified in any way his claims announced in yes- terday’s Star. The following tables, there- fore, give a view of the situation as seen through the estimates or claims maije by the national coramittees on the eve of election: Conceded to McKinley. Cennecticut s Maine + 6 Massac E aS New Hampshire. 4 New Jersey BD New York. ea Pennsylvania . Rhode Island. Vermont eer ts Total . Conceded to Bryan. Alabama Arkansas Colorado .

Washingto! 24 13 23 12 75 In order to carry the election, Mr. Mc- Kinley will have to secure, in addition to the electoral votes of the states conceded to him, 107 votes out of the list of states brought into doubt by the conflicting claims of the chairmen. Mr. Bryan, on the other hand, in order to be elected, will have to secure 146 electoral votes out of the states thus brought into dispute by the claims of the rival chairmen. If Mr. McKinley were conceded the seventy-five electoral votes admitted by the democratic committee to be doubtful, he would still have to secure 32 votes in order to be elected. These 32 vetes would come out of the list ‘claimed positively for both.” Mr. Bryan, if he were granted the 5S acknowledged by Mr. Hanna as in daubt, would still have to secure Ss votes from the states disputed by the chairmen in order to carry the election. It may be assumed that in the states claimed with doubt by Chairman Hanna. that in his mind the chances are really in favor of the democrats, else his claim would be more positive. A like assumption may be made as to the states claimed by’ airman Jones as doubtful. So it is fair to say that in the minds of the men who have been managing the campaign, Kan- sas, Missouri, Texas, Virginia and Wash- ington are doubtful states, with the proba- bilities in favor of the democrats. Like- wise, Delaware, Illinois, Iowa and Wiscon- in “may be put down as doubtful states with the chances in favor of the republi- cans. If the states in which the chances are thought to favor the republicans are adjed to the conceded McKinley states, an elec- toral vote of results. A similar pro- cedure with the Bryan states gives him | votes. Respecting the list of fourteen states, “claimed positively for both,” it is evi- dent to those who have followed the drift of campaign news closely that the republi- cans claim more rositively the states of Indiana, Maryland and Minnesota, than the others. There have been indications of a stronger claim_on the part of democrats to the states of California,Nebraska, North Carolina and Tennessee than to the other states named. So far as the news that has come from the states and the claims made by the political managers go, it seems to be about an even thing in Kentucky, Mich- igan, Nerth Dakota, South Dakota, Wy- oming and Oregon. Constructing a new table, taking the strength of claims into account and basing a statement of proba- bilities on them, the following results Chances and Claims Favor McKinley. Previously allowed. 1 Indiana Marylan¢ Minnesot: Total. Chances and Claims Favor Bryan. Previously allowed. California. Nebraska. North Carolina. Tennessee. 224 Total. aooe . Chances and Claims Seemingly Equal. Kentuck; 13 Michigan. 14 ‘West Virginia. = 26 North Dakota. 3 South Dakota. 4 Wyoming. 3 Oregon.. 4 Total, If McKinley carries, in addition to the states conceded to him, all the states which in this table have been classed as favorable to him, he will have secured 224 votes, or the exact number necessary to election. If Bryan is granted all the votes re- corded as favorable to him, he will have 176 votes, and will need, in order to be elected, to receive all of the 41 electoral votes from the states where the chances and claims are seemingly equal, and onc state from the column recorded as slightly favorable to McKinley. These figures are given, not as/protic- tions, but only as indicating the cHances a3 viewed by politicians. It is this belief that chances favo> McKinley in the states named that has induced betting men to place odds oa McKinley. >— Election News in Alexandria.

Result of a Socinl Affair and a Free Gold Watch and Chain Fight—The Assailant Not Known. Alexandria county has another murder to add to its long Ist of sudden and unex- pected deaths. The victim this time was a colored man. The man who did the shooting is also colored, although his iden- tity is unknown and likely to remain so. The affray cccurred last evening about 10:30 o'clock at a place just back of Jack- son City, at the intersection of the Wash- ington and Alexandria pike with the Co- lumbia pike. The collection of shanti which graces that particular spot in Vir- ginia is known as Roach’s Springs, or more popularly Mudd’s Corners. One of the prominent residents of Mudd’s Corners is an elderly colored man by t name cf Jim Lewis, whose principal occu- pation in life is the removal of garbage from this city. He does considerable bus!- ness around the hotels and this work has brought him into close contact with a number of the colored cooks and waiters of the various hostelries. Being of a hos- pitable nature Jim thought it would be a good idea to entertain a party of his friends at a “sociable” last evening. A sociable at the other end of the Long bridge consists for the most part of # banjo or a guitar, a certain amount of cheap gin and an unlimited opportunity to dance with the dusky belles of the neighborhcod. Jim's invitation was ac- cepted with alacrity and a ‘bus load of colored men, for the most part young fel- lows who were ready for a good time or a fight,started across the bridge after work- ing hours last evening. Presumably there were a few razors in the crowd; certainly there were several pistols, for one can never tell what he is likely to strike at an Alexandria county sociable. Jim had invited in all the young colored women of the neighborhood to dance with the guests from this side of the Potomec end the party gave promise of being a real social success. But the male residents of Mudd’s Corners resented the popularity of their city rivals and decided to break up that sociable {f they had to break a few heads in the bargain. They made a rush for Lewis’ shanty, but the onslaught was 1:0¥ unexpected and the besieged prepared to repel invaders. A free fight ersued and a number of shots were fired. ‘The Wash- ington party made a break for their ‘bus back to town none the worse for their visit to the old domin- ion. When the smoke of battle had clear- ed away, however, it was found that one the local contingent, Johnny Pollard, was lying in a gutter in front of the house. He had been shot through the body and died almost immediately. Pollard’s body was left lying where it fell until this morning when {It was viewed by the coroner of the county. Common- wealth Attorney Johnson was notified, as was also the sheriff, and an investigation has been started. It {s doubtful whether the details of the fight will be reached, for Lewis asserts that he does not know the names of any of his guests, and it was im- ressible today to find a single man who would admit that he was in the raiding party last night. Pollard was a tough citi- zen and was at times employed about the brick yards. He had the reputation of al- ways being ready for a fight and enjoyed the reputation of being about as good an all-round scrapper as the county could pro- dvce. About a year ago he had his face pounded to a jelly in just such another social affair. He was twenty-four years of age and married. Castoria For Infants and Children. CASTORIA DESTROYS WORMS.

Securea— Robbers Are Active in This Cit One of the boldest robberies that has been committed in thig city in a number of years was committed lagt night between 9 and 10 o'clock on the sidewalk in front ef the Portland Flats, ‘facing Thoma Circle. The victim of the" bold highway man was Mr. Samuel EF, Merrill, who lives at 1127 14th street, jumt opposite the Port- land. He is a heavy maw and ts advanced in years, but foftunately when knocked down by the murderous highwayman he fell upon the sidewalk in a manner which caused him no serious harm. Early in the evening Mr. Merrill was at some of the down town hotels discussing politics vith some friends. At one hotel, where bets were being made, it is said, hv exhibited a roll of money and made an offer to stake some of it on the result of today’s bettle of votes, but could find no tak Soon after 9 o'clock he started for home, getting on a 14th street car at Penn- sylvania avenue and Gth street. In the crowd where politics had been discussed there were plenty of bystanders and dis interested persons, some of them of the Jackson City stripe, and it is thought that one of them who wanted to get the roli of bills followed Mr. Merrill on the car. If he did there was nothing suspicious about his conduct to attract attention, nor did Mr. Merrill even suspect anything wrong urtil he was actually waylaid. The robber was a white man and he was seen to approach the victim from be- hind. Being a heavy man Mr. Merrill was easily pushed down, and in an instant the highwayman had his watch and chain and was on his way from the scene. There were several yedestrians on the street at the time, but only one of them, a col- ored man, made any effort to catch the thief, and he soon gave up the pursuit. When Mr. Merrill had recovered from the shock he found that the thief had used ferce encugh to ear out the button hole of his vest through which the chain was fas- tened, and his face was also disfigured. ae watch, chain and locket are valued at 3200, Information of the daring crime was soon conveyed to the police, and Detective Boyd, as well as the officers of the second pre- cinct, were making an investigation. A gocd description of the criminal was given, and the police are making efforts to ap- prehend him. Other Robberies. Some time last night burglars visited the home of Detective Sergeant Robert Jchnson on P street northwest and mad: extensive preparaticns for a big haul. M. Johnson is sick, and it is supposed th: while she wes moving about the house tle Lurglars were frightened off. Nothing was krown of their presence in the house unifl this morning, when the discovery was made that the back dcors and windows had been opened and the Hght on the upper ficor had beer. extingulghed. There was evidence that the burglars had been through almost the entire house, but noth- ing was missing. A Liberty bicycle, No, 13004, was stolen from in frent of a cigar store at 4% street and Penngylvania avenue yesterday. The wheel belonged to J. H. Busnish. Sunday night the plate of Moore & Tri- olean, No. 1216 Pennsylvania avenue, was burglarized. An entrance was effected by fercing open the rearidoor,“and a box of cigars and two bottles of whisky were stolen. A bolt of cloth was of E.

ALL SEXES AND CLASSES ARE ALERT A Glance at the Sentiment as Shown by the Crowds. RECEIVING THE RETURNS ‘Two women met on the third floor of the Boston House this morning. On any other day of the year it would have been a cer- tainty that their conversation would have been on subjects of winter =tyles in gowns and bornets. Today it was different. “Who's going to be elected” asked the tall, slim one earnestly. “Mr. McKinley, of course,” replied the short, pudgy one with decided assurance. That's the way it was all over town, In breakfast rooms at the hotels; in counting rooms, business houses, in saloons and lunch rooms and everywhere cn the streets everybody interrogated everybody else as to the result of the election. Most people said it was McKinley sure, but the or servative observers of events declared the result was a toss-up, and wouldn't be de- cided until there was an official count of the votes. An old gambler stood in front of the Na- tional Theater ruminatively picking his teeth. An acquaintance came along E street and hailed him. “Hello, Billy,” he exclaimed. it look to you? ‘The gambler paused and regarded his in- terlocutor sagely. “It’s just like this,” he responded. “Two fellows are playing a game of table stakes poker. Both are well fixed with stuff and both are game sports. The deal is made and each gets a pair of queens to go with and each tries to drive the other out by raising like he's sitting behind a full house. They put all their money up before the drew, and that’s how McKinley and Bryan are situated today. Each has a pair of queens und each has a chance to better nis hand in the three-card draw. The deal is now on and only the show down can tell who's got the best hand.” Many others are holding similar views, and probably no national election day in Ure history of the country has ever been marked by such universal interest in its outcome or half as much real anxiety on the part of so many people. Little Brynn Money in Sight. There was some betting done, but Bryan men, no matter how sure they seemed to be of their candidate's victory, were not possessed of the wherewith in sufficient quantities to back their opinions to any great extent. The odds were three and four to one on McKinley, and the backers of the latter apaprently were limitless in their financial resources. A thousand dol- Jars of McKinley money at Shoomaker’ and several times that amount at Driver's remained uncovered, although offered at three to one, and small bettors appeared to prefer taking state to national risks. Sev- eral bets of money on Maryland were recorded, and three wagers of $25 each, even money, were made at a F street resort that McKinley would not have 40,000 ma- jority in Ohio. A big bet was made at “How does an uptown news: pay a Georgian sending $500 to bet agai *”) of a Washingtonian’s mon which was pit up at three to one on M. Kinley The Universal Card Fad. Everybody seemed armed today with a ard bearing the list of states and their re- spective allotment of electoral votes, with columns in blank for tabulating the pro bilities, and newspaper men were particu- larly requested by the owners of the cards to look them over and give an opinion to the correctness of the figuring.

Harvard and Tufts Men Meet on Bos- ton'n Streets, The last torchlight parade of the cam paign rrarched through Boston last night in the interests of the gold standard. The paraders were made up entirely of Har- vard students, although it was anticipated that the Institute of Technology and Tuft's College would be represented. Anticipating that the thwarted efforts for a “rush” ‘on Friday night might cause the students to make a more decided attempt last night, the police made elaborate arrangements for quelling any disturbance, with the re- sult that there were nearly as many off)- cers in the parade as students, while both the front and rear of the procession was strongly guarded. After the parade broke up a large num- ber of Harvard men went to Park Square, where they encountered about twenty-five Tufts College men. A rush ensued, and soon the streets near the Providence depot were thronged with people. The police, however, charged on the students, and after half an hour succeeded in clearing the square, but not until a number of the Harvard students had received consider- able punishment.

An autopsy was performed today on the body of the unfortunate colored woman, Matilda Catlett, who was found dead in an outhouse in Ambush court yesterday, by Deputy Coroner Glazebrook. Wm. Schoen- berger, the morgue keeper, had closed the door of the little Lrick structure when 2 Star reporter called to inquire about the result of the autepsy, and, so far as he was concerned, his lips were sealed by order of the coroner, “I can’t give out any information,” he said. “No one but the coroner is allowed to give out news.” “Where is the deputy coroner?” he was asked. “He's gone,” was the response; “but he couldn't give you the information even if you should see him, for the coroner will not allcw him to give out news. I will though, that there will be no inquest held.” The next thing to do was to find the coroner, but this was next to imposstbl and the only information obtained othe: than that given by the morgue keeper was that given by a policeman, which was that alecholism had caused death. It was learn- ed that Matilda had been drinking some of the cheap whisky over at Jackson City, and a policeman, who professed to be aoquaint- ed with Jackson City and the character of its liquid merchandise, expressed surprise that Matilda had lived long enough to re- turn to her temporary home in Ambush court. Now her body will be buried in pot- ter's field.
