WHILE THE RETURNS CAMEIN Bones at Headquarters of the Pari d.cate the Interest. In- REPUBL.CANS ACTIVE AND WATCHFUL Candidates and Commiiteemen Keep Canes on the Count at the Rooms Whence the Campa Was Directed. The republican headquarters in the Mer- chants' hotel presented a busy scene from the time the returns began to come in at 8 o'clock until nearly midnight. A large crowd had assembled to get the figures hot from the telephone wires and among these banked up about the doors were sceveral candidates. Judge Berka stood on the out- skirts, derlving great satisfacticn from com- paring the vote of this year with that of a Wear ago, with special reference to the po- llce judgeship. Seated at a table inside the charmed circle, Judge Vinsonhaler made fgures tndustriously on blue sample ballots, while E. F. Brailey, candidate for corcner, looked over his shoulder. Fred Bruning, eandidate for county commissioner, and Tom Crocker, candidate for register of decds, llstened attentively as the man at the telephone called out the news. Other candidates dropped in during the course of the evening to compare the returns with those recelved elsewhere, A general air of confidence prevalled from the first, which became more manifest as the evening advanced. Twice wi the monotonous drone of the volce at the tele- phone Interrupted by resounding cheers; once when word came that “Tammany Is knocked out,” and the other when a mes- sage was roceived that Judge Sedgwick had been elected. Democraty Were Lukewarm. In the rooms of the Jacksonian club, 1417 Farnam street, dozen stragglers stocd abtout, manifesting a lukewarm interest in the progress of the count. Just inside the entrance a young man with long blonde hair sat at a table playing solitare. From the window of an adjoining room a stereopticon projected illegible figures upon a canvas across the street, while a crowd stood on the sidewalk below vainly striving to de- cipher them. Judge Gordon came in at 9:30 to ask “Where am I at?' He looked wor- ried, as much so as when handing down ths police court decision in the formaldehyde case. The headquarters county central Fourteenth, were dark, having been temporarlly moved down to the coal office of B. E. Howell, the chairman. Th! #eemed to be the center of democratic ac- ivity. The little office was crowded to suffocation, but democratic candidates were conspicuously absent, as several unpleasant things had been sald over the telephone. At 10 o'clock Chairman Howell sald: “T of the committee, democratic 213 South believe we have elected the entire county ticket. The returns’—then he was called 1o the telephone to repeat to some coal cus- tomer the reports from the state election, and from New York The rooms of the Douglas County Democ- racy on Fifteenth strect were practically deserted during the entire evening. A few of the faithful dropped in from time to time, but found little encouragement {o remaln. The club, however, made some | concesslon to the fact that there wi election by appointing a young man to a tend the telephone and ho answered all questions as to how things were golng by Tepeating: “The returns from the Elev- enth of the Sixth give Sheriff Power 110 and At this rate we've got them McBride 75, enowved under.” + € LOW WI”N&LNEW YORK (Continued trom First Page.) portant factor in bringing about the re- sult."” Mr. Low said that tomorrow he and his wife were going to Great Barrington, Mass., where they would remain the re- mainder of the week, It not for a longer time. About 11 o'clock Mr. Low gave out a formal statement Iin which he sal “The outcome of this election is a splendid vl dication of unlversal suffrage. From all parts of the city have come the votes that have rebuked the Tammany orgle of the Jast four years. All the patronage of the eity aud limitiess money have not avalled @gainst the aroused indignation of the peo- ple and it is safe to eay that absentee gov- ernment and government for priva in will not be seen again in New York City for many a day. “This is no man's triumph, but is the people’s victory. The agencles that have brought It about are many. Those who Jabored so long and so patiently to bring about the successful fusion of many ele- ments«and those who have supported the fusion €3 loyally are all entitled to the greatest credit. For myself, ! ask for the generous and constant support of the com- munity in the great task to which It hi summoned me." Mr. Low is In recelpt of hundreds of tele- grams from men not only.In the city, but Blso from different parts of tho state and country, among them being congratulations from President Roosevelt and Senator For- aker of Oblo. Shepard Abandons Hope. Edward M. Shepard made public acknowl- edgement of his defeat tonight at police beadquarters In Brooklyn. He sent a tele- gram of congratulation to Mr. Low and dic tated a statement to the reporters in which Be expressed his hope that the coming ad- ministration would be a surcessful one. His telegram read: “With all sincerity 1 wish ycu the utmost success in the great office to which the people of Greater New York bave called you." Mr. Shepard then dicta‘ea this statement: “T sincerely wish Mr. Low a thoroughly successful administration. The people have Indicated thelr decided preference. Not only is it the duty of every good citizen to cheerfully acquiesce In the result, but he should do his utmost to make the result beneficial to the city. All of us—republicans and democrats alike—should loyally hold up the hands of those whom the people have chosen In all good work on their part. “I thoroughly appreciate the good work done against adverse conditions by the dem- ocratic organizations in five boroughs. 1 belleve that the faith of the New York democracy, notwithstanding this temporary defeat, Is definitely set to a future of politi- cal reform which will at no distant day bring to the party merited honor and suc- [ Likely Retire to Europe, Mr. Croker retired at midnight.

BRIGHT KANSAS GOLD STORY Unfon Pacific Land Department Re- Fuses to AfMrm Deny It B. A. MecAllaster, land commissioner of the Union Pacific, refuses to either afirm or deny a story sent out from Topeka that his department has withdrawn from sale nearly 50,000 acres of land In Ellls and Trego counties In western Kansas as a re- sult of the recent excitement over the al- leged discoveries of gold In that section. The Topeka story says that “many lead- ing chemists have visited the region d the great majority of them declare that the shales along that river will produce trom $10 to $20 per ton in gold and $6 to $10 in silver. “Two new mills are now bullding in Ellls county, and Smoky Hill City has griwn to metropolitan proportions in a month. Five hundred thcusand dollars have been In- vested In lands of no value for any other purpose. “‘Shale enthusiasts say that $200,000,000 can be taken from an acre of land and that shale lands extend fifty miles along the river and eight nilles on either side. Prof. Lovewell, a Topeka chemist, who bas made scores of successful test: there is more gold In western Kansas than in all of the gold fields of the world.” If the land department has withdrawn. the lands from sale no announcement to that effect has been made and there are good grounds for the bellef that such action hae not been taken or even contemplated. May Be Water Fumine. The Unlon Pacific is threatened with & water famine on the seventh division, be- tween Green River and Evanston, says a Cheyenne diepatch, and as a result the con- struction of large reservoirs at convenient places along the line is now being consid- | ered. Surveys have already Leen made and it is expected work on the reservoirs will be commenced at once. Tor nearly a year past water cars have been hauling a supply from the division points to places along the line where water wae scarce and from these cars the loce- motives received their supply. During the last year three large reser- voirs were constructed, one at Le Roy, oac at Carter and another at Bryan. These caught and held the flood waters and when the rains ceased in the summer they were drawn upon by the railroad. While this storage supply dld much to' relieve the trouble, it has been found that additional storage reservoirs must be con- structed at ouce ®0 13 to impound the waters from melting snow the coming spring. Several reservoirs will be bullt along the Bear river-Le Roy cut-off and a large one will be bullt in the mountains back of the town of Rawlins. Compound Engines W The triumph of the Rio Grande Western locomotives over those of the Denver & Rio Grande and Midland rallways, In recent tests between Denver and Pueblo, was not s0 much a triumph of the rallways or of the crews as it was a victory of the com- pound type of locomotive over the simple type. Upon the conclusion of the tests President Jeftery of the Denver & Rio Grande gave an order for forty locomotlves of the compound type, 80 great was the ing shown by this style of engine. If all the Rio Grande lo- comotives were compound the coal Mllli would be reduced $1,000,600 a year, according | to the showing made. The tests were made under the direction of Charles H. Quereau, assistant superintend- ent of motive power of the Denver & Rio Grande. Mr. Quereau used a dynamo meter car which was leased from the Chicago & Northwestern. When the tests wers completed tables were worked out showing the weight and the amount of coal required to do a given amount of work. The showing in favor of the compound engines was 15 per cent. dian Road C 1t {s more than probable that the com- munity of Interest lately established be- tween the Hill, Harrimen and Santa Fe interests to lnsu e the main® nce of trans- coptinental rates will not bring about the | result anticipated. The Canadian Pacific does not propose to be counted out as a transcontinental route, and is sald to be preparing to give the American lines all the fight they want. It takes particular ex- ception to the slortening of time by its competitors, and, us it cannot make equally fast time, it threatens to get even by cut- ting of rat Wal OMcials Here. A party of Wabash operating offictals, in- cluding C B. Adams, superintendent of transportation, and J. 8. Goodrich, nuperin- tendent of the western division, finished a tour of the newly acquired Omaha & St. Louls line yesterday by an Inspection of the Omaha and Councll Bluffs terminals. Thelr speclal arrived at the Bluffs at 10 o'clock, and after looking over the company's prop- erty there they crossad the East Omaha bridge. The bridge and terminal company's property was inspected as far ns Sherman avenue, where the connection is made with the Missourt Pacific. Afterward the Union station and terminals were inspected.

Mippoes l GENERAL CORBIN AND BRIDE Erillisas Wedding Coremeny Takes Place in Washington Today. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT WILL ATTEND Date Was Set by McKinley and His Letter to Groom Shows th c ship Existing Bee tween Them. WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.—The most bril- liant wedding ceremony Washington has seen in many a day will take place tomor- Fow at noon at the handsome home of the Misses Patten, on Massachusetts avenue, when the fourth daughter of that family ot heiresses, Miss Edyth Patten, wiil become the bride of the adjutamt general of the army, Gemeral Henry C. Corbin. A prince of the church will officiate and the presi- dent of the United States will be one of a large company of distinguished guests. It will be a military wedding, at which not only Geperal Corbin and his staff will vear full-dress uniform, but also their brother officers among the guests, who will number quite 800. Colonel George R. Dyer will be best man and the following officers, all_ members of the adjutant's department, will gerve as ushers: Lieutenant Colonels Wiiliam H. Carter, Thomas H. Barry, George Andrews, John A. Johnston, Willlam A. Simpson, Henry P. McCaln and Majors Henry A. Green and James Parker. Miss Patten, who returned last week from four months' visit to Paris, will have no attendants and will be given away by Sen- ator John P. Jones of Nevada, who years ag0 was assoclated with her father in vari- ous business enterprises on the Pacific coast. Romance of the Courtship. Every element of romance enters into this marriage, which Is the comsummation of a long and interesting courtship. When the groom began his military career thirty- nine years ago as a volunteer in the service of the Eighty-third Ohio infantry, his bride- to-be was still unborn. Her parents, a struggling young couple, were seeking their fortune in California. Later the golden wave of prosperity placed them on a par with Mackay, Falr, Sbaron and other ploneers of ‘49, whose children and grand- children are now conspicuous members of smart soclety in Washington, New York, Paris and London. The father of the future Mrs. Corbin was Edmund Patten, who died almost imme- dlately after laying the foundation of the large fortune destined to make his children famous. He left a widow and five daugh- ters, the eldest just entering her teens, the youngest a babe In arms. With the keen foresight which distinguishes her daughters in all their business transactions the young widow, whose experience in life had not ex- tended far beyond the mining camp, gath- ered up her fortune and her children and came to the capital of her adopted ecoun- try, where judicious investments in real ee- tate in the then almost unimproved reglon about Dupont Circle increased the original fortune many times. Educated in Pa After establishing her home fn this city Mrs Patten went to Parls, where her chil- dren were placed in the Convent of the Sacred Heart to be educated. There they grew to womanhood. Naturally clever, fond of study, and of wonderful perception, Miss Edyth Patten soon became a noted scholar in this famous school, which has given many daughters to soclety. She s today a brilllant conversationalist in French, Ger- man and Itallan. and an accomplished mu- slolan. Returning to Washington in the elghties, Mrs. Patten built the home her daughte: now occupy, but died shortly after its com pletion, leaving as the head of the family her eldest daughter, in whose name the in- vitations to Wednesday's wedding have been issued. General Corbin, although almost twice the age of his future wife, shows little sign of advancing years, and with the possible exception of his one superior in the serv- 1ce, Lieutenant General Miles, s rated by many the handsomest man in the army. His regular army career began in May, 1866, when he was appointed second lieu tenant iIn the Seventeenth United States Infantry, having been mustered out of the volunteer service lees than two months be- fore. During the civil war he obtained the rank of brigadier general, and was the first man from the state of Ohlo to ace cept a field officer’s position in a colored regiment, the Fourteenth United States in- tantry, which he led at Pulaski, Decatur and Nashville. Fights 1 s on Frontler. After his appointment to the regular service he served in Texas with General Sherldan, Jefferson Barracks, Mo., and in Kansas and New Mexico. For ten years he was on active and arduous duty on the frontier against hostile Indians. Much of his life was spent at various posts in Texas and at the Columbus barracks, untll the {nauguration of President Hayes. He was invited to accompany that first of the trio of Ohlo president to Washing- ton and was detalled for duty at the White House. He was a close personal friend of President Garfleld during.his short reign, and all the world knows of the Intimacy which knit him to the late lamented Pres- fdent McKinley. Indeed, the one cloud in General Corbin's present happiness is the absence of beloved commander-in-chief, who was the first of the close circle of friends to be told of his engagement. President McKinley' utograph letter of congratulation more than anything else shows the comradeship which existed be- tween the president and the adjutant gen- eral. The letter follow Executive Mansion, Washington, April 12, 1901, Dear General Corbin: Mrs. McKinley has Just recelved your note informing us of your coming marriage to Miss Edythe Pat- ten. We congratulate you most heartily upon your good fortune and wish for you both every happines and will you convey to Miss Patten Mrs, McKinley's love and good wishes and my most cordial regards. May God's blessings attend you both and always is the wish of your friend, WILLIAM M'KINLEY, McKinley Namen the Day. The very wedding day was named by Mr. McKinley, the original selection of the bride being November 4. When he was {old this the late president remarked that he hoped to vote In Canton on the morning of November 5, but be could not think of “the general being married without his presence it would not be valld,” he laugh- ingly remarked, as he requested Miss Pat- ten to defer the ceremony to the 6th. When the tragedy at Buffalo thrilled the world General Corbiu was on the Pacific ocean, bomeward bound from an official visit to the Philippines. His first impulse was to abandon all the eclat of & fashion- able function and wed the maiden of his choice with a ceremony as simple and un- ostentatious that of the admiral of the uavy and his bride two years ago. Miss Patten was still in Parig, where she jour- neyed to procure her trous: au, but time and space can easily be eliminated by the cable and many a message was flashed back and forth from Miss Patten's hotel and the big office in the War department. Every dftall of their marriage bad been THE OMAPHA DAILY BEE: WEDN ESDAY, planned in the early summer, the breakfast ordered and decorator engaged on a ecale ot magnificence seldom equaled in Wash- fogton. A list of nearly 1000 weil- known people, representing the elite of the entire country, had been compiled, from which the invitations were to be went out before the home-coming of the bride. By the advice of her friends Miss Patten de- clded to carry out the original plan, to which the gallant bridegroom acquiesced, with the result that Wednesday's ceremony will serve curtain raiser to the soclal season. ‘Journed Far for Wedding, - Two oceans and two continents have been traversed since those June days and although & great sorrow and a national tragedy has confronted them, It was a radiantly happy bride and bridegroom who met In New York last Saturday when the steamer St. Paul came into port. The wedding tomorrow will be the sec- ond in the Patten family, the only other daughter to embark on matrimonie’ seas having been Mise Augusta Patten, the sec- ond daughter, who some fifteen years ago became the wife of Mr. John M. Glover, then a representative from the state of Mis- sourl. Mrs. Glover now resides in New York. The remaining daughters are the Misses Mary, Josephine and Helen Patten of this city. General Corbin was married for the firet time in 1865, his wife being Miss Frances Strickle of Wilmington, 0., who died in this city in 1803 Three children of his m. riage are Itving—Mre. Willlam Upsher Pa sons of New York; Miss Grace Corbin, an invalid, who makes her home with rela- tives in Ohlo, and Mr. Rutherford Hayes Corbin, now filling a position in the Philip- pines.

Comes of Colonial Stock. Although born in Ohlo, the adjutant gene eral comes of coloulal stock, his great- being the John Corbin whose name appears as sergeant of volunteers trom Virginla In the revolutionary war. grandfather emigrated to Ohio and set- in Clermont county, where the tra- ditional log cabin 1o which the adjutant general was born gave way, years ago, to the present comfortable homestead. Upon leaving the department the adjutant general makes a daily visit to the new home, now almost completed, in the north- west section of the city in the immediate vicinity of the new French embassy site, which has moved the social breastworks far to the northwest. Although of modest exterior, the furnishings and appointments of this home will compare favorably with those of its more conepicuous neighbors, tapestries, hangings, rugs and much of the turniture having been selected and pur- chased by the bride-elect during her wso- journ in Parls. The house will mot be finished before January, and the interval between the re- turn from their wedding journey and the new year will be spent by the general and his bride in the former's modest apart- ments on R street.

PARIS, Nov. 5.~The followin| has been received from Admiral “Mitylene, Nov. 6.—11:40 a. m.—Armored division arrived at Mitylene." The dispatch does not mention any - dent attending the landing, but it seems certain that the French commander car- ried out his instructions, which were to oc- cupy three ports of the island and to selze the customs. One cruiser and three torpedo catchers got separated from the squadron owiug to the speed of the latter. The dispatch boat Mouetta was sent to meet them and to ace company them to Mitylene.

CHINA SMILES ON A BOXER Leader in Secret Soclety Secures Gov- on = Japan Follows New Policy. PEKIN, Nov. 06.—Na Tung, former Boxer leader, has been appointed to the Chinese foreign office by an edict received today. He recently returned from Japan, where he went as speclal envoy to apologize and express condolence for Sugiyama Akira, chancellor of the Japanese legation at Pekin, shortly before the legations were besieged. This appointment Is considered a step of the Chinese ministers toward the re. storation of the Boxers to imperial favor. Japanese influence supported Na Tung, & fact which contributed further evidence of Japan's recent policy of co-operation with China. Not long ago Japan sounded the powers regarding the propriety of another protest against the Manchurian c(nvention between Russia and China and was disappointed by a lack of interest in the question on the part of the United States und Great Britain.
