2 B T T T N S R oL A S S THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1895. RICHES AND A TITLE, New York Agog Over the Coming International Wedding. ALL DETAILS COMPLETE. Marvelous Wedding Trousseau to Be Worn by Marlborough’s Bride. FORTUNES SPENT IN PRESENTS. Jewels Vast in Number and of Rare Design Given to Miss Van- derbilt, NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 4—Not even to-morrow’s elections, important though they are, equal the interest taken by New Yorkers in the marriage of the Duke of Marlborough and Miss Consueio Vander- bilt, which takes place St. Thomas Churcb, in this city, on Wednesday, No- vember 6. The importance attached to this international alliance of American wealth and English high lineage is out- lined in the daily papers, none of which consider that the daily details can be told in much less than a page. Every move of the Duke and his fiancee is chron- icled, even to the pettiest details. The crowd that pushed and jostled and stood for hours and hours in the wind and rain when the Castellaine-Gould wed- ding occurred, happy if they even saw only the third assistant deputy house- maid’s face at one of the Gould mansion windows, was considered phenomenal even for New York, but the crowds ex- pected and arranged for on Wednesday will undoubtedly beat all records. Overa hundred policemen have already been de- tailed to preserve order. Itis now stated on good authority that Miss Vanderbilt’s dowry will be $5,000,000, not $10,000,000 as has been reported. The future Duchess will have only the interest on this sum as her income during life. At her death the principal goes to the chil- dren of the marriage. While it was accepted as a fact that the Duke could marry only a rich woman, sen- timent attached to his marriage with Miss Vanderbilt when it became known that at one time a union was discussed between the Duke and Miss Bass, who belongs to the great English ale-brewing family. Miss Bass has a fortune of $20,000,000 set- tled upon her. That the Duke should pre- fer to wed with $15,000,000 less in sight is said to evidence that his alliance with Miss Vanderbilt is a true love-match. The clergy will be represented in St. Thomas on Wednesday. Among them will be the Rev. Dr. Bridges, from Islip, L. I, and the Rev. Waldo Burnett of Southboro, Mass.,, who for a number of years was the chaplain at Blenheim during the lifetime of the Duke’s grandfather, the seventh Duke of Marlborough. ‘There will also be in the chancel the Rev. Dr. J. Wesley Brown, the Right Rev. Henry Pot- ter, Bishop of New York, as well as Bishop Littlejohn, who christened and confirmed the bride-to-be. Bishop Littlejohn will perform the marriage ceremony and Bishop Dotter will pronounce the benediction. Eight of New York’s handsomest beau- ties will be the brinesmaids. They are: Miss Marie Winthrop, daughter of Bu- chanan Winthrop; Miss Evelyn Burden, daughter of I. Townsend Burden; Miss Morton, eldest daughter of Governor Mor- ton; Miss Elsa Bronson, daughter of Fred- erick Bronson; Miss Daisy Post, daughter of William Post; Miss Katherine Duer, daughter of William Duer and a grand- daughter of the famous wit, William R. Travers; Miss May Goelet, daughter of Ogden Goelet, and Miss Laura Jay, a daughter of Colonel William Jay. Miss Goelet and Miss Jay will be the youngest members of the bridal party. Of these girls, Miss Winthrop, Miss Burden and Miss Morton have had several seasons in society. None of the others have yet been formally introduced, but of the number Miss Duer will be one of the debutantes of the coming season. The ushers whom the Duke has chosen 1o assist him at the wedding are very well known in New York society, and have often assisted at famous weddings. They are, without exceptions, members of the Knickerbocker Club, with which club the Duke of Marlborough has been a frequent visitor since his arrival in this country. These young men are: Messrs. F. Brock- holst Cutting, Richard T. Wilson Jr., Regi- nald Ronalas, Herbert D. Dobbins and Hamilton Wilkes Cary. The Duke of Marlborough’s best man will be his cousin, the Hon. Ivor Church- ill Guest, the eldest son of Lord Wim- borne. His mother is the eldest sister of the late Duke of Marlborough. Young Guest is a fine looking man of tall and commanding presence and just about the Bge of the Duke. The order in which the bridesmaids will walk to the altar is as follows: Miss Katherine Duer and Miss Elsa Bronson; Miss May Goelet and Miss Laura Jay; Miss Daisy Post and Miss Evelyn Burden; Miss Morton and Miss Marie Winthrop. Miss Katherine Duer is the first brides- maid and will enjoy the distinction of Lolding the bride’s bouquet while the ring is being put in place. California brides in prospect who wish to know what is the correct style at ducal weddings for their bridesmaias to wear, will doubtless read with interest the fol- lowing detailed description from an au- thoritative source of how Miss Consuelo’s ettending vestals will be gowned: The bridesmaids’ gowns, although simple in design, are exquisite. The skirts of heavy ivory satin, cut very full, are without trimming other than long sashes of ciel blue satin ribbon, which reach nearly to the lower edge. The hodices, made also of the same rich ivory satin, are finished with very full, long sleeves, and giraled with a broad ceinture of the ceil blue satin. The prettiest, how- ever, is a Marie Antoinette fichu of fine cream lace, which covers the sboulders and crosses surplice fashion in front to meet the girdle. This lace will be caught In frout with turquoise souvenirsof the Duke of Marlborough. Encircling the throat inside of the slightly V-shaped Crockers’ Post street store is fuil of handsome paper, din- ner cards, portemonnaies, and card-cases, and prices are fair, 227 Post street 215 Bush street neck will be worn a broad band of blue velvet, clasped in turn with several rows of pearls. The broad-brimmed hats are the more picturesque, inasmuch as they are made of a deep rich shade of royal blue velvei, trimmed with ciel blue. The six ostrich plumes fastencd at one side are ciel blue in color, as are the large coquilles of satin ribbon which fill 1 the back of the caught brim, also the twist and roseatte of soft chiffon which encircle the crown. The chief beauty of the wedding gown is the exquisite point-lace flouncing which covers the entire front of both skirt and bodice. The lace which will adorn the bride’s veil is an exquisite point d’Angle- terre, and Miss Vanderbilt will be of the third generation to wear it. This lace was first worn when a bride by ber maternal grandmother, Mrs. Murray Siith, who was a Miss Desha of Mobile, Ala.,a memberofa distinguished French family. Mrs. Van- derbilt also wore the lace at the time of her wedding, and the beautiful flounce which has been attached to the wedding gown is as near a reproduction of the lace as could be manufactured in the most famous house in Brussels, where it was found impossible to copy the pattern exactly, as the art which tashioned the old piece islost to this world. So skillfully is this lace ad- justed to the gown, despite the fact that the flounce crosses the skirt horizontally four times, trims the front of the corsage and falls in triple reverse over the shoulder, that it has not been cut. Peeping from underneath the lowest flounces is a narrow border of orange blossoms. The court train, five yards in length, isa marvel of exquisite embroidery all about the edge, extending up both sides to the shoulder. The finest seed pearls, mingled with others of various sizes, are used to form small rose leaves, and these are grow- ing apparently from a threadlike vine of silver, tied at three-inch intervals in a true-lover’s knot. A long spray of orange blossofns which trails over one side of the skirt and the smaller one of the same flowers fastened on the front of the cor- sage are beautifully fine. A feature of the wedding will be the music in the church. At fifteen minutes past 10 Dr. Morgan, the church organist, will commence the programme with an hour’s selections, accompanied by the church quartet, the full chorus and regu- lac harpist. This will last an hour, to be taken up by the New York Symphony Orchestra, led by Walter Damrosch. The wedding breakfast will be served at the residence of Mrs. William Kissam Van- derbilt, the mother of the bride,'at 24 East Seventy-second street, corner of Madison avenue. The Duke and the Duchess will leave after the breakfast at once for the Vanderbilt country place, Idle Hour, Oak- dale, Long Island. They will travel in a private car by a special of the Long Island Railroad. Though the date is not announced yet, the newly wedded couple will leave for Europe but with littie delay. They will spend the winter in Egypt and Italy. As for wedding gifts they befit fully the expectations of even a leading American young lady millionaire. They are simply marvelous in their splendor and value, They are more than ducal—they are im- perial. Among the more striking the fol- lowing offerings stand out resplendent: Mrs. William K. Vancerbilt has given her daughter her entire marvelous set of pearls, consisting of one very long string which it would not be an exaggeration to say is quite & yard in length. The pearls are beautiful and evenly matched and are said to have belonged once to the Empress Catherine of Russia. Any empress of to- day would be glad to own them. Each pearl must be half an inch in diameter. There is besides a collar of pearls con- siderably larger than those composing the long string, each pearl alternating with a solitaire diamond. Still another necklace of pearls and diamonds in antique gold and enamel setting is a gift of Miss Van- derbilt’s aunt, Miss Armide Smith. W. K. Vanderbilt Jr.’s present to his sis- ter is a superb moon, solidly set with good- sized diamonds. From her brother Harold there is a circlet of diamonds, to which is attachea a slender crescent of the same beautiful gems, which, though intended for the head, can be worn for a corsage ornament. Other additions to the future Duchess’ jewel-box are a beautiful square-cut emer- ald, set in a ring with a diamond on either side, from Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt; a tur- quoise and diamond marquise ring from Miss Katherine Duer; a blue enamel watch, set with diamonds and pendant to a true-lover’s knot, from Mr. ivor Guest; a pendant heart, incrusted with diamonds, from Miss May Goelet; a unique pearl brooch, theirregular-shaped pearl suggest- ing to the artist the body of a swan, the neck and wings being carried out in dia- monds, from Mrs. Richard M. Hunt; a ring set with a superb square-set sapphire and two diamonds, from Perry Belmont, and a pair of sidecombs, set with small pearls, from Miss Daisy Post. One of the Duke’s gifts is .a girdle of gold set with diamonds. Mrs. William Astor’s gift is a purse of golden mesh, the fastening being circular in shape and set with turquoise and dia- monds. R. T. Wilson Jr. has sent an ex- quisite vinaigrette of engraved crystal, the stopper set with a large aquamarine, sur- rounded with small diamonds. Mrs. R. T. Wilson’s gift is a pair of £olid gold vases about six inches in height. There are many beautiful fans, all from intimate friends, each one worthy of a place in a collection. Miss Morton, whois to be one of Miss Vanderbilt’s bridesmaids, sent a fine old Spanish fan; Mrs. John H. Davis, a tiny one of First Empire style, of white moire set with a design in silver spangles and medallion portrait heads; Mr. and Mrs. William A. Duer a more modern one, of exquisite point lace and pearl sticks with watteau medallions set in the lace. Two beauties of watteau and boucher are from Mrs, Henry T. Sloane and Mrs. H. ‘Winthrop Gray. . Mrs. Vanderbilt hasalso given her daugh- ter a splendid traveling toilet-case, which contains many pieces, each set in dull gold; each receptacle for toilet articles, whether brushes, combs or pins, being of gold. Some of the other gifts are a beanti- ful silver repousse tray, from the household servants; asilverbonbon-box from Reginald Ronalds; a crystal flask set in gold from Miss Edith Corse Evans; a Louis XVI table clock of dark blue enamel, orna- mented with Roman garlands and Rhin stones, from Miss Cadwalder Evans; a mir- ror, set in silver gilt, from Mrs. Charles Kellogg; a rococo inkstand, pen and tray, from H. Maitland Kersey; a Sevres cup, from Jules Vatable; a silver loving-cup, from Mr. and Mrs. John Jacob Astor; a silver repousse plate from Mrs. Richard Irvin; a silver inkstand from J. Frederic Tams; a large silver-mounted blotting-pad, from Miss Marie Winthrop: a silver minia- ture frame, from Mrs. L. K. Wilmerding; an antique silver box, oval in shape, from Peter Goelet Gerry; a large toilet mirror, set in silver, from Miss Virginia Fair,and a pair of antique silver candlesticks from Winthrop Rutherford. These gifts will not be exhibited except to a very limited number of Miss Vanderbilt’s friends. Valuable as these presents are they are fully equaled by what the Duke presents to his bride. All the family heirlooms of the Marlboroughs, all the jeweled treasures of Blenheim, will be hers. But they will not be presented to the young Duchess until she arrives in England. This deci- sion was arrived at not alone because of the heavy customs dues were they brought to this country, but also of the riskin- volved 1n their transportation. The floral decorations both at the church and at the home residence of the bride on East Seventy-second street, will be some- thing more than gorgeous, ana excel any- thing of the kind ever seen before in this city. New York florists are somewhat disap- pointed that the wedding bouquet will not be furnished by them. The Duke, how- ever, had a romantic notion that it should be culled at Blenheim, where in a series of hothouses the choicest blooms hre grown. He gave orders that it should be sent from there, and it arrived last week on the Lucania, It was brought over in the steamer’s ice-box, but before it could be removed the Duke’s solicitor, Mr. Mil- ward, had to enter it at the Custom-house and pay $5 dues. Mr. Milward valued the bouquet at $50. Tiis five feet across the top and a moun- tain of floral beauty of the rarest orchids and red and white roses. It looked as if just freshly gathered, and was at once transferred to an uptown florist's 1ce-box. It will be broken up for the wedding; one bouguet will be made for the bride, others for the bridesmaids and the rest distributed among the invited guests to the wedding brealfast. Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt will, after the marriage ceremony is pronounced, be en- titled to her pick from the following titles which her future husband now enjoys: Duchess of Marlborough, Marchioness of Blanford, Countess of Marlborough, Count- ess of Sutherland, Baroness Churchill and Lady Churchill. FOR THE EQUINE SHOW. President Crocker in the East Securing Entries of Fine Horses. Gratified at the Prospect of Success - for the San Francisco Exhibition. NEW YORK, N.Y., Nov. 4—Henry J. Crocker of San Francisco, president of the Horse Show Association of the Pacific Coast, is at the Waldorf on a visit to New York in the interest of his association, whose show opens on December 3. He was seen by a CaLL correspondent to-night, to whom he outlined the brilliant prospects for a successful exhibition of the best horses and neatest turnouts that have ever got together on the coast. “Though I have had only about twelve hours to look about me here since my ar- rival,” said he, “I am happy to say that even that brief time has fully convinced me of the success of our coming show. Our judges, Messrs. Pope, Carman, Reeves, Underhill and Bloodgood, will have as fins alot of horses as they ever looked over to handle. Already I have secured the cer- tain shipment of one carload of the pick of the entries in thelhorse show here to San Francisco. They will go in palace horse- cars attached to passenger trains. I feel positive that this is only the first step and that many others will foliow this good ex- ample. ‘“‘All the horsemen [ have so far spoken with predict a great success for us. They say that relatively our $20,000 worth of premiums in San Francisco is equal to the $60,000 hung up in New York, mainly be- cause there will not be so many compet- itors on the coast as here. I have commis- slons to buy eight or ten horses here for exhibitors atour own show and 1 shall take only the best, depend on that. Personally I shall purchase several horses, princi- pally for oxhibition to coach or drag. I shall probably buy only winners at the show here, though the local dealers have plenty of high-class animals for sale. The carriage-builders and harness-makers here, Iam told, have many orders already from San Francisco exhibitors. Altogether, I am most pleased with our future prog- pects. “To-night my friend, Mr. Theodore Kearny, told me he may possibly bring a few horses for exhibition to the coast. If he does he will win many a blue ribbon, because he has some of the best animals in New York. Every new featrre introduced at the horse show here I shall take care to bave duplicated in San Francisco. Of course, until the show opens and with the short time I bave had to get posted in, I cannot say exactly what the new features will be, but I have had inklings of a few that will materially add to the attraction of our exhibition.” Incidentally Mr. Crocker said that while in Chicago he was assured of hearty co- operation toward the success of the San Francisco exhibition by the horsemen there, and some of them may possibly send entries to the coast. He also said that both in Chicago and in New York the racing people were enthusiastic over the coming winter meeting in San Francisco. The pick of the Eastern and Middle States’ thoroughbreds will be shipped to the coast, and the best racing that San Fran- cisco has ever seen is assured. Mr. Crocker ntends returning to the coast on Novem- ber 14. B e JUMPED INTO THE RAPIDS. Suicide of a Philadelphia Man in View of the Sightseers at Niagara Falls. - NIAGARA FALLS, N, Y., Nov.4.—A distressing suicide took place at about 4:40 o'clock this afternoon, when 2 man giving his name as James Hodges of Philadelphia, who said he was connected with the Fourth Battalion of Pennsylva- nia, jumped from near the center of the Bath Island bridge into the rapids. He had intimated to a hackman that he con- templated doing so. The hackman re- ported the alleged intentions of the stranger to an officer who is stationed at the entrance of the park, and who arrested him. Hodges laughed and stated that he was joking with the hackman. He was re- leased and then walked to the middle of the bridge, and suddenly, without removy- ing any clothing, stepped one foot on the rail and dived beneath. The onlookers were powerless to stop him, and watched him as he was carried along by the rushing water over the reef between the bridge and the falls, and then suddenly the body stopped and lodged there just above Chapin Island in plain view from the shore. It seems likely that the body will be carried over the falls be- fore morning. Receivers Must Produce Accounts. MILWAUKEE, Wis., Nov. 4.—Judge Jenkins has handed down an order direct- ing the Northern Pacific receivers to file their monthly report, receipts, books, pa- pers, etc., with Alfred L. Carey of Mil- wm&eo as special master for examination, BATTLE OF BALLOTS, Officers to Be Elected in the Off-Year States To-Day. NEW YORK’S BIG FIGHT. Tammany Struggling for the Control of Affairs in Gotham., FORAKER'S CHANCE IN OHIO, Maryland Seeks to Throw Off the Gorman Yoke—Kentucky in Doubt. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 4—The elec- tion in New York State to-morrow will be for State officers, with the exception of Governor. The battle in this city will be between the forces of *‘good government,” represented by the Union ticket and the followers of Tammany Hall. The Union, or fusion county ticket, contains the names of Republicans and leaders of the New York State Democracy, which is bitterly opposed to Tammany Hall. The Democratic State ticket, however, has been indorsed by the State Democracy, and it is believed will receive the support of the different factions. The campaign in this city closed to-night without any extraordinary demonstration. Tammany Hall leaders predict that its county ticket will be elected by from 40,000 to 60,000 majority, while the fusion- ticket managers are just as confident that Tammany wili not return to power. Both sides declare that they will carry the State by comfortable majorities. In Brooklyn the local campaign has been lively from the the beginning. There are three candidates for Mayor—Shepard (Independent Democrat), Grout (Regular Demoerat) and Wurster (Republican). Republicans believe that Shepard will take enough votes from Grout to elect Waurster, while Grout’s managers feel con- fident that the Republican ranks will be depleted by Shepard to such an extent as to cause the election of the regular Demo- cratic candidate. Shepard, it is conceded, has no prospects of being elected. The probabilities are that Wurster will poll within a few thou- sand of the full Republican vote and be elected. Asin New York City, the Brook- lyn Democrats are united on the State ticket. The betting on the result of the election is very light at the hotels and in sporting circles to-night. But few betting men who wished to wager their money were about the Fifth-avenue Hotel, the Hoffman House, St. James Hotel and the Gilsey House, where in former years there has always been a great crowd. At midnight the odds stood at 3tol ona Republican State victory, while the Tam- many contingent fought shy on the result in the State and coniined themselves to the county. The odds were 2 to 1 on the county, but there were no takers. Among some of the bets recorded are: * Al Smith bet Riley Grannan $1000 to $500 on Tammany'’s victory in the county. George Morgan and R. A. Anderson made a bet of the same amount on the same con- ditions and the same odds. John Mat- thews and Ed Gilmore made two bets of $100 even on the result in the State and county, Gilmore taking the Tammany end. ” Edwards put up $750 against Tom Williams’ §350, that Tammany would win in the county, Edwards taking the Tammany end. Edwards also made sev- eral bets of §400 to $200 on the same condi- tions. Late to-night Ed Gilmore made another bet of $1000 to $400 with “Jaek” McDonald that Tammany would have a majority in the county. ALBANY, N. Y., Nov. 4.—A conference of Democratic leaders was held here to- day. Reports were received from the dif- ferent counties of the State. The esti- mated majorities of the eleven counties which are placed in the Democratic column are 73,000, The estimated majorities in the Republican counties are 52,000. The final estimate of the Democratic State com- mittee is 13,000 plurality for the State ticket and twenty-six of the fifty-two Sen- ators. e UPPOSITION TO FORAKER, Onhio Democrats Rely Upon a Division of the Republican Vote. COLUMBUS, Onro, Nov. 4.—Theelectors of Ohio will to-morrow choose a Governor, Treasurer, Auditor, Judge and Clerk of the Supreme Court, Lieutenant-Governor, At- torney-General, - member of the State Board of Public Works and a full General Assembly. The election of the latter is of especial importance, as it will elect a successor to Senator Calvin S, Brice. The campaign has been a hot one and fought with unusual vigor on both sides. The Republican State Committee states that 860 speeches were made under its di- rection, and fully that many were made on the Democratic side. Ex-Governor Camp- bell himself made fifty-five speeches. On the Democratic side State issues have been adhered to and the Republicans have been vigorously assailed on the ground of corruption in the Legislature and extrava- gance in Governor McKinley’s adminis- tration. Besides defending themselves from these charges the Republicans have attacked the Democrats upon National grounds, claim- ing that the question of the return’of Senator Brice raises a National issue. Governor McKinley has freely embraced this opportunity to urge in his speeches the necessity of increasing the tariff rates. In 1892 the Republicans carried the State by 1072. In 1893 Governor McKinley's pluarality was 80,995. Last year the Re- publican plurality rose to the unprece- dentedly high figure of 137,080. This, however, was upon a total vote of 776,819, In 1892 the total vote was 861,625. A full vote is expected to-morrow, and ‘probably 830,000 ballots will be cast. The Republicans copcede that their plurality will drop back this year to the normal figure—from 15,000 to 30,000. The Democrats claim that it will be wiped out and that ex-Governor Campbell will be elected by 10,000 The committee chair- man will make no estimates, however, The Democrats base their hope of suc- Cess upon opposition within his own party to ex-Governor Foraker, whose faction se- cured control of the convention at Zanes- ville and dictated the nomination of Gene- ral Bushnell. They expect that the same elemel_xt of the Republican party that ac- complished the defeat of Governor Foraker six years ago will vote against his faction now. This hove is strengthened by the fact that the Democrats of Cincinnati seem to be harmonious and enthusiastic ana that there is general apathy in the Western Re- serve, the Gibraltar of the Republicans. Both parties are claiming the Legislature. There seems to be little ground upon which to base an intelligent prediction as to this. LRl sus OUTLOOK IN MARYLAND. Many Democrats Will Vote the Republi- can Ticket in Its Entirety. BALTIMORE, Mp.. Nov. 4.—The. hot- test campaign in the history of Maryland politics closed to-night, when the party managers shut up their respective head- quarters preparatory to the battle of the ballots on the morrow. The Governor, Controller and State’s Attorney, House of Delegates and four Senators will be elected. In Baltimore City a full municipal ticket will be chosen. There are four tickets in the field, but it is conceded that the fight will be between the Democratic and Republican candidates. Many leading Democrats of the State have indorsed the Republican guberna- torial candidate, Hon. Lloyd Lowndes, of Allegheny County, and have stumped the State in opposition to the millionaire mer- chant. John E. Hurst of Baltimore, Mo., who, they claim, was foisted upon the Democratic convention by Senator Gor- man. “Down with bossism!” has been the slo- gan throughout the canvass, and the anti- Gorman-Raisin Democrats have worked hard for the overthrow of the *‘ring.” It is claimed that the Cleveland Democ- racy of the city and State will vote for Lowndes to a man, and many of them will cast the entire Republican ticket. The Legislature that is chosen to-mor- row will select the successor of United States Senator Gibson, and thirteen of the Senators will participate in the selection of a successor to Senator Gorman two years hence. The Democratic managers are to-night claiming the election of Hurst by from 5000 to 10,000 plurality, while the con- servative estimates by Republican leaders place Mr. Lowndes’ majority at 10,000. There was plenty of Lowndes money of- fered to-night at $100 to $40, but few bets were made. = Mg ONE-SIDED IN IOWA. Drake for Governor Will Run Behind the Republican Ticket. DES MOINES, Iowa, Nov. 4.—Indica- tions are that the vote at to-morrow’s election will be light. A feeling of confi- dence on the part of Republicans is respon- sible for this in a measure, as is also the fact that the farmers will not leave their work to vote. The Democrats made a special effort‘to get the voters out, and will come nearer accomplishing this than the Republicans. The Republican State Central Commit- tee claims the election of the entire ticket by a plurality of about 35,000. The mem- bers acknowledge that the vigorous attack made on Drake’s railroad building record has had an effect, and that his refusal to state his position on the liquor question will also cost him many votes. It is esti- mated that he will run from 7000 to 8000 behind the rest of the ticket. The Democrats are conceding the elec- tion of all the Republican State ticket but its head. They claim that the majorities of last year will be reduced nearly half, and claim there is a show for the election of Babb because of defections from Drake’s following caused by the exposure of his railroad record. It is claimed by the Prohibitionists that their ticket will receive 20,000 votes in the State this vear against 6000 last year. — QUIET IN NEW ENGLAND. Indications Point to Increased Repub- tican Majoritics. BOSTON, Mass.,, Nov. To-morrow the regular yearly elections will be held in all of the New England States, and while politicians place no particular stress on the Eastern State elections as having material bearing on the National cam- paign, still they are provocative of more or less discussion. This year, however, the struggle in all the States is very tame when compared with that of previous years, the results in most cases being a foregone conclusion. The Republicans have undoubtedly control of the whole East, and will have no difficulty whatever in electing their candidates. The main features of the campaign do not lie in the individual elections, but two features of the contests will be of more than usual interest. Since the election of last year the advocates of woman suffrage have been actively at work, and this ques- tion will be one of the most important of the whole campaign. The general feeling is that it will be signally defeated, as nearly every member of prominence in either party is opposed to it and is fighting tooth and nail for its defeat. The other question, concerning which there is considerable expectation, is the strength which the A. P. A. will develop. Outside of these two questions the elec- tions will be merely nominal, as in none of the States will the Governorship be in doubt. The Republican candidates all had large majorities last vear, and the general impression is that these will be largely augmented this year. S R ONE DEMOCRAT W1LL WIN, A Minority Candidate Certain of Election in Pennsylvania. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 4.—The balloting in this State to-morrow will be for a State-Treasurer and seven Judges for the newly created Superior Court. The candidates for State Treasurer are: Re- publican, Benjamin J. Haywood; Demo- cratic, Benjamin Meyers; Prohibition, William H. Berry; People’s, George W. Dawson; Socialist-Labor, George Anton. Of the seven Judges to be chosen the law has provided for one representative of the minority party by limiting the ballot of each voter to six Judges. The Republican and Democratic State conventions nominated six candidates, and in view of the enormous Republican majority in the State during the last sev- eral years, about the only live interest in the State elections is as to which of the six Democratic candidates for Superior Judge shall receive the highest vote, and thus take his place on the bench as one of the seven Judges of the new court. This is the first opportunity the people have had to vote for Judges of the Superior Court. Last November Hastings (R.) was elected Governor by a plurality of 241,297 over Singerly (D.). In November, 3, Jack- son (R.) for State Treasurer had 136,146 plurality over Osburn (D.). Of this latter vlurality Philadelphia furnished 52,246 and Allegheny County 23,637, & e NO WAR ON QUAY, David Martin Refutes the Story of a League Against the Pennsylvanian. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov, 8.—David Martin, the Republican leader in Philadelphia, was shown an article contained in a New York paper to-day setting forth that the anti- Quay and Harrison men have inaugu- rated a movement to strike down Senator I Quay and that a fund of $200,000 has been guaranteed for use by those who are to direct the affair. Thearticle further stated that the movement was started last night in Philadelphia at a private ainner, which was attended by most of the men who were arrayed against Quay in his last fight of two months ago. After carefuliy read- ing the article Mr. Martin said: “That’s all stuff. No such dinner was he})d, and there isnota word of truth in it. e KENTUCKY 1IN DOUBT. Both Hardin and Bradley Claim the Blue Grass State. LOUISVILLE. Ky., Nov. 4.—Harrods- burg, the home, town and county of Gen- eral P. Watt Hardin, gave him a grand ovation to-day on the occasion of his clos- ing campaign speech. At Hardin’s head- quarters all is serene and the utmost con- fidence prevails that Kentucky will roll up a handsome majority for the entire Demo- cratic ticket. On the other hand promi- nent Republicans claim that Bradley wili carry the State by 5000 to 10,000. The Prohibition and Populist State tickets will cut no material figure in the contest. The present Governor, John Young Brown, carried the State by over 28,000 and the present canvass has been so thor- oughly and vigorously prosecuted that it is agreed by all parties that the largest vote ever polled in the State will be given to-morrow. LEXINGTON, Ky., Nov. 4.—Senator Blackburn closed the State campaign here to-night at the opera-house, which was vacked to suffocation. He proclaimed himself for free silver in his usual manner and scored the press of the State and Nation for advocating the name of sound money.

There are five candidates for Governor, but those of the Prohi- bition, People’s party and Socialists will probably not receive over 10,000 votes combined. Republican leaders are claiming the election of John W. Griggs Dby pluralities ranging from 6000 to 20,000, and they make statements by counties. The Democratic leaders claim that Chancellor McGill will be elected by the normal Democratic plurality of 7000 to 8000, but they decline to furnish a state- ment, in detail. Conservative men of both varties believe Griggs will be elected. e S LR, The Situation in Utah. SALT LAKE, Uran, Nov. 4.—The cam- paign closed to-night amid a snowstorm. The indications now are that the Republi- cans will elect their entire State ticket, with the possible exception of Allen, can- didate for Congress, who will be scratched heavily for Roberts, Democratic candidate. The Republicans claim an average major- ity of 200, while the Democrats claim a majority of about 500. The Populist vote is likely to be a surprising feature. shateristberm g Militiamen Going to Cuba. NEW YORK, Y., Nov. 4.—The Re- corder says that a filibustering expedition will soon leave for Cuba. It will consist almost wholly of officers of the New Jersey militia who are accustomed to the com- mand of small bodies of men. The men who are going are all Americans, except one Englishman.

TROOPS SENT T ALASKA England Re-Enforcing Its Patrol in the Territory Under Dispute. Inducements Offered to Canadian Settlers to Locate Along the Boundary. MONTREAL, Quesec, Nov. 4.—During the past week there has been considerable bustle among those in diplomatic circles, and in spite of the conciliatory reports which have been sent out irom the Cana- dian Government that the whole Alaskan affair would be settled with dispatch and amicably, the general feeling is that this news was made only in order to gain more time in preparation. It was learned from an authoritative source to-day that the Dominion Govern- ment is hurrying all the forcesit can to the disputed region and that in this it is only acting from orders which have been re- ceived from the British home Government. The officials themselves are very reticent over the whole question, in queer contrast to their willingness to discuss the matter a week ago. The report of the Boundary Commis- sion, which it was announced would not be known until the end of December, is already in the hands of the Dominion Government and will be submitted to the home authorities immediately. While nothing definite can be learned regarding its contents, it has leaked out semi- officially that the report of the commis- sion has put the Canadians at a disad- vantage in regard to their claims to the disputed region. Since last Wednesday a large number of dominion police have been sent to the troubled region and accompanying them have been considerable bodies of miners, it evidently being the intention .of the Government to settle the place as thor- oughly as possible before the question has reached its final settlement. Some of the most startling stories of the richness of the country have been brought to the East by returning miners, and the Alaska fever is growing daily, The press and Government are doing all in their power to foster this feeling, and special induce- ments are even being off ered to settlers to 2o to the territory. if you Onlya Ste From Catarrh to Consumption, allow it to progress unheeded and un- checked.
