There are no particular dis. Sam P. Hall Allowed His Friends to Make His Fight. tricts in which the Republican .vote pre- vails, but the majority is about evenly dis- tributed all over the county. Around Haywards, where the Democracy has long considered it had a stronghold, the Re- publican majority is Jarger even than was expected, The result certainly proves the failure of fusion and by 8 o'clock hardly a Bryan badze could be seen on the Street, The speed with which the well-known Bryavites gought cover was only equaled by the rapidity with which those fusion- ists who were not recognized changed their colors and appeared to be anxious { for recognition as belonging to the great majority. The stand of Congressman Hilborn has been indorsed. and districts that have hitherto been strong for Mr. English have passed him by on this occasion. The fight for the two Supefior Judge- ‘ships has been very keen, but W, E. Greene and Hall can hurdly lose their ma- jorities when the entire vote isin. Thomas Garrity and Judge M. E. Gibson ran very strong and polled larger votes than were expected for them. Very bitter has been the fight for Justices of the Peace, but there is no doubt that J. .J. Allen and F. V. Wood, the incumbents, have been re-clected. J. W. Stetson and * J. McElroy each had too many friends for the others to be successful. A complete Republican legisiative ticket has been elected.

Stratton is safe in the Twenty- ‘seventh Senatorial District. ‘One of the great surprises of the elec- tion was the manner in which the sixth -amendment was deieated. - It has always been thought that Ala- meda County was a stronghold of woman’s suffrage, but the result has proved that there was more smoke than fire. It will probably be beaten by a majority of 5000 votes, while it needed two-thirds to carry. Very close has been the contest between Supervisors in the Fifth District. Tt narroved down to a fight between W. 8. Pelonse, J. Mitchell and J. Allyn, 4 Mitchell, R., and Peiouse, Ind., ran \c‘ close, but the Republican candidate ¢ out ahead by a moderate majority. 1 the Fourth District Roeth, R., had a walkover from Brown, ind., and Gray, Fliltun. . In the contest in the county Supervisor- ial district the First is the c{ompt.ol any. The latest returns show that Jarvis (R.) 3 leld.u:g Wells (fusion), and as the ormer's majority is not confined to any - particular precinet,. it is conceded that | Jarvis is elected. Thomas Pearson, the colored candidate for the Assembly from the Forty-eighth | District, did not poll 6 per cent of the vote of the aistrict. Historic Altamont precinet,in which Hil- born was counted out four years ago, gave | English a slight majority, although Hil- | born ran abead of his tinket. The exact | figures are: McKinley 20, Bryan 52, Hil- | born 34, English 47. It is worthy of remark that the railroad | ward (the First), in which the “coerced’’ employes were wearing McKinlev badges | under duress and “winking ai their con- | cealed Bryan badge,” gave McKinley a | larger majority than ever, | The complete vote in the First Super- visorial District 1s so close that it can only be determined by the official returns, THE DAY’S BATTLE. How It Was Fought and Won and Lost in Alameda County. OAKLAND, Can, Nov. 3.—Alameda Oounty did not retire last night. Of course many of its conservative citizens took a | few hours’ rest, but at this particular time they do not constitute *‘the county,” The term is monopolized just now by those to | whom politics are paramount. These had not finisned their interest in last night's parade bafore rhey begun to prepare for the work of fo-day. The voting - began early, and in some of the precincts one-hait of the entire votes were recorded before 10 o'clock. Every- thing was quiet and orderly, and the Aus- tralian baliot system once more covered itself with glory. ‘The increased number of booths, which guarantees that no elector shall have to walk more than a couple of blocks to the polls, has almost done away with the use of carriages, and the streets were quieter | than at any previous election. There were ma;‘y interesting sidelights | to the election. en who have walked to the polls arm in arm for a_score of years | to-day went separately. Hundreds who have hitherto been stanch Jeffersonian Democrats to day walked to the baliot-box with a gold ribbon on their coats. Judging by appearances one might sup- | pose that a majority of the ballots that went into the tin boxes were for Repubii- cans, but it was what isknown asa “silent | ballot.”” People seemed to be voting their convictions, and consequently were not | discussing their choice. Senator Denison, wearing several kinds of badges, indicative of his loyalty to Mc- | Kinley, was one of the most familiar figures on the street, Nothing seemed to trouble him and he walked up and down | Rroadway chatting with his frieads and | remarkins oczasionally with a twinkle of | bis small eyes, that it was only a question | with him of how large it would be. *It’ ;olcouru. was McKinley's majority. He “ made one reference to the California eagle | that he sent to Ohio several weeks ago, |'and said, that nhe had no doubt the bird | would be fully justified in shrieking to its | ntmost capacity before midnight. | " Tom Garrity, with plug hat and frock Senator Denison Thought He Heard His Eagle Screech. coat that came below his knees, was as busy as Senator Denison was quiet. Colonel Garrity is making the fight of his life. He believes that there are always a number of voters who hesitate to make a choice until they get the rubber stamp in their fingers, and Colonel Garrity was de- termined, if possible, that they should make him their choice for Superior Judge. It meant a great deal of work, but the colonel was a% al to it and went about his task as good-naturedly as though he were making a speech before a friendly society. He seemed to have many friends and was very much in evidence, but, of course, this was no indication of what the ballot-box might reveal, Fred V. who has made an ex- cellent Police Justice, certainly made a mistake in not obtaining the Republican nomination, he retained the friend- ship of Senatur Earl he would have had no difficulty in being successiul before the Alameda convention, but “he evidently preferred his record to a party indorse- ment, and made an energetic tight, with no other apparent backing than that of the/A. P. A. Sam P. Hall, tall and placid as ever and whose whiskers seemed to be more abundant than usual, did not appear to be making a single effort in his o *n behalf for the Superior Judezeshiv. Many of his friends, bowever, did for .gam what he is absolutely ineapable of doing for himself, viz.: make a_political fight, and hix sup- porters certainly appeared to be sufficient to elect him, : Hardly any of the other candidates were in evidence during thel day, and a new precedent seemed to be established for the first time in this election. It was that of allowing friends 1o attend to the Fred V. Wood Made His Fight| Alone and— electioneering and ot the principals keep- ing in the background. While this was | not acceptable to “the push,’” as it pre- | vented a great deal of buttonholing and | other things known to that element, it | was certainly profitable to the candidates. | In all the districts the fight most ap- parent was that for Supervisor. 1In each of the three districts from which a candi- date was to be elected there were from four to six names on the ticket, and not one of these resigned at the eleventh hour in favor of some one else, as is nearly always the case; consequently each can- didate continued his little fight up to the hour of closing the polls, thus leaying the issue in each case very much in doubt. The First Ward, which shares with the Bixth the distinction of being the liveliest in the City on election day, was remark- ably quiet. Very little challenging was done, no fights were indulg-d in, no acci- dents were reported and the general con- duct of the day was somewhat of a surprise to those acquainted with the former his- tory of these districts. The Fifth District was not itself. For Colonel Garrity Making the Race of His Life. twenty years it bas been customary to see the kid-gloved electors of this fashionaole territory gailantly led to the polls by the rio of English brothers. So quiet was it in this ward that not even a dog-ared to bark. But the appearance of harmony was deceitful. For the first time in the English history the three brothers voted | not the same ticket. John English sided with Warrenand perhaps voted the Bryan electoral ticket, as they certainly did the Warren B. Congressional ticket, William D., however, althou:h it is probably only generous to suppose that he gave a vote to his brother for Congress, wore a gold badge and so far as the Presidential vote is concerned was on tie other side of the fence from bis esteemed hrethren. In the interior of the county a large vote was polied, but nothing exciting was re- ported. The main fights were those cf Supervisor and Assemblyman, especially in Eden Township, where Thomas D. Wells, who succeeded in _polling a larger vote in this county than Mr. Morehouse at the last e‘““mi for State thunlizer. was running strongly nst the Republican candidate, F. C. Jarvis, ® Interest in local fights died out entirely about 3 o'clock, when some of the early returns from the East were posted on the local bulletin boards. The quiet of the day was broken up and vast crowds gath- ered wherever they couldgee or hear any news from the Freu battlefiela in the East. For several hours the populace was wrist of a patient in the hand of a physician. The crisis was reached and the verdict was awaited breathlessly. ——————— GRAND JURORS VIGILANT. Patrick Roberts, a Clerk, Arrested for Calling Off the Wrong Name. The beneficial effect of the action of the Grand Jury in personally visiting the pre- cincts to see that no frauds were perpe. trated was illustrated last night a few hours after counting the ballots had com- menced. Grand Jurors W.. L. Ashe and H. W. Goodall were in the polling booth of the Tenth Precinct, Thirty-third District, on Potrero avenue, near Twenty-third street, watching the count. About 10 o'clock they became suspicious of Patrick Roberts, the clerk who was calling off the votes. They watched him closely and became conyinced that he was in several instances calling off the name of T. B, 0'Brien when the votes were for his opponent, James G. Maguire, in the Congressional fight. ’ hey notified &r&:lm Mooney of the fact and he placed Roberts under arrest. He was taken to the Beven.eenth-street Police Station and booked on the felony charge of violating the election law. The two Grand Jurors will swear to a complaint against Roberts this morning. e — TO CUKE A COLD IN ONE DAy, Take laxative BromoQuinine Tablets. All - gists refund the money if it fails to cure. ag:. ALAMEDA'S ACTION MUCH DISLIKED Recedes From Its Position on the Tidal Canal Agreement. Will Not Abide by the Terms That- Were Accepted a Week Ago. i ALL WORK WILL BE DELAYED. Oakland Cannot With Dignity Listen to Anything More From the Encinal City. OAKLAND OFrFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, Nov. 3. } To the surprise of everybody on both sides of the estuary the Alameda Board of Trustees has broken the compromise agreed upon between it and the Oakland Board of Trade regarding the harbor im- provements. g The Trustees have forwarded a docu- ment to the Board of Trade of this city in which at great length they set forth the reasons why they wish to repudiate their agreement of a week ago. Much surprise was expressed at that time at the conces- sions made by the Encinal City to Oak- land, and it was supposed that the terms made by the Alameda committee were too generous to suit the people of that city. The supposition has proved true, and the work of President Forderer, City Engineer Poyzer and Health Officer McLean has beenrepndiated. The report of a week ago was, of course, acceptable to this city, but now it cannot be expected that any other overtures coming across the estuary can be regarded as being offered in good faith. The re- port from Alameda would have been pre- sented to the City Council last night had a guorum been present, but it has now been postponed to the next meeting. This peculiar action on the part of Ala- meda has reopened the whole contro- versy and it is now probable that nothing | will be done till another Congress has met oranother National administration takes office. s As the Alameda committee was given power to act it is regarded as very peculiar that the Trusteesshould recede from their action, and it is looked upon as the policy of a child who can’t get what he wants | and will not let any one else have it. A member of the Board of Trade said to- day: “This action on the part of Ala- meda has forever ended the possibility of arriving at a compromise, and there is nothing to do but to leave the entire matter to the War Department, and of course that means delay. Colored McKinley Club. OAKLAND, Can., Nov. 3.—In the re- port of last night’s demonstration men- tion is made of ‘“the Afro- American League.”” This was a mistake. The name should bave been the Colored Repubjican McKinley Club. “‘The Afro-American League is com- posed mostly of silyerites Am} Bryanites,” said President C. Felix Lafon to-night, “‘and has worked in opposition to us. We bave a club 300 strong, and nearly every man was in line, and I am proud of my countrymen.” An International Wedding. OAKLAND, CavL, Nov. 3.—Antonio F. Gonzales of Mexico, secretary of the Sal- vadoran Consul, came oyer here last even- ing. took out a license to marry Frances Leonie Creighton of San Francisco. aged 18, and was wedded by Rev. Mr. Van der Mark. He is a deputy in the Assessor’s office. There was a little banauet and wine-opening afterward, and then the couple returned to San Francisco. At the Macdonough. OAKLAND, CaL., Nov.3.—The Fraw- ley Company will open bere Thursday night at the Macdonough and will play the rest of the week.

Polled at the Coliege Town. Suffragists Active—Stratton, Wright and Gentry Run Ahead of Their Ticket. BERKELEY, Car., Nov. 3.—The elec- tion in Berkeley passed off quietly and was almost wholly without incident worthy of mention. In most of the pre- cincts more than 50 per cent of the entire vote was cast before 10 A. M. At some of the polling-places citizens were on hand when the sun rose over the eastern hills, and the casting of ballots began as eariy as the law allows. Very little excitement marked the day’s work and the only interesting contests were those of the fighters for the sixth amendment ana of candidates for local offices. The woman suffragists were out in full force. They establiched headquarters at the Woman's Exchange building and their leading campaigners, including Mrs, Car- lisle, Mrs. Haight, Mrs. R. P. Thomas and Mrs. William Keith, visited the various precincts in buggies and added their last stroke to the suffrage cause. The general rosult of the National and Congressional ticket was regarded cer- tain for Republicans and in consequence bn:I little interest centered in the big ight. Stratton for Senator, Wright for Assem- blyman and Gentry for Jus:ice of the Peace ran away ahead of their tickets. Accgpted His Resignation. BERKELEY, CaL., Noy. 3.—The Unita- rian society of Berkeley has accepted the resignation of their or, Rev. Rdward B. Payne, and the trustees of the church nave n appointed to draw up resolu- tions expressing the profound regret of the members at his withdrawal. His resignation was tendered to take effect on January 1, or if he should find it neces- sary 1o leave before that time.

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FraNcisco OAvLL, 908 Broadway, November 3. The park committee of the Oakland Board of Trade is now undertaking the actual work necessary to procure an sppropriate public park for this city. E. C. Sessions, James P. Taylor, M. J. Keller, D. E. Collins and A. D. Pryal have the matter in hand. Before they takeany further steps they are anxious to be in- formed of ail the available sites. The following circular was issued to- any, and will doubtless be the meuns of inducing many persons to send the com- mittee the desired information: The Oakland Board of Trade, having after much careful consideration concluded that the time has arrivea when, for various reasons, it is expedient for the city of Oakland to ac- guire a public park of ample dimensions, say 00 acres, more or less, with suitable ap- proaches thereto, in the suburbs of the city or in the vicinity thereof, the committee charged { with the duty of -ecunng ‘Fm\msmonu are now ready to receive and do hereby solicit proposals from owners of real estate suitable for this purpose.

He is touring the world, having started out in a dress suit with 3 cents in his pocket on February 25 last on a wager of 50,000 francs, or $10,000, that he will be back by Christmas. It is hard lines with Brouard now, for he showed the contents of his pocket yesterday to be but 35 cents.

NEW YORK OPERA DEBUTS, Mme. Harriclee- Darclee’s Art and Voice Score a Success. A Timid New Tenor and Other Fea. tures of Colonel Mapleson’s Promises. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 3.—More of Colonel Mapleson’s promises were re- deemed last evening at the Academy when “La Traviata’ was given, and several members of his company were heard for the first time. Mme. Harriclee-Darclee made a distinct success. Her voice, though a trifle husky in the opening last night, is normally clear and pure, and she is generally accu- rate in intonetion. In quality it is metal- lic and not intrinsically sympathetic, though her art as an actress supplied its deficiencies in that respect in the pathetic seenes of the second act. Her voice has, however, some really beautiful notes, and is very thoroughly trained. Her execution of difficult passages was recognized by hearty nsplanu, and by the more deliberate and monumental “floral_tributes” under whicn the ushers labored down the aisle and which they finally eapsized into the orchestra. The tenor of the occasion, SBignor Betti, made, it was announced, his first appear- ance on any stage. The announcement was not incredible. Though it was plain that he had a pleasant and well-trained voice, and that as a concert performance his singing of the music of Altredo would bave been very acceptable, he has not as yet found himself on the stage. In the first act his nervousness affected his singing, which was notably more effective when he was behind the scenes than when he was in front of them. But, although in the su uent scenes he was able to do himself more justice as a singer, the efforts of dialogue and perceptress did not suffice to make him really versonate Alfredo. Signor Ughetto gave a conscien- tious and not very noteworthy Gormont. myriad of tramps who have crossed and recrossed the globe by way of San Fran- cisco and Vancouver in the last couple of years. He pays his way, he says, by his ‘writings and lectures. From here he will go to Mexico, and there hopes to catch a steamer on the gulf to carry him safely to Paris, when he can get the 50,000 francs. He exhibits a hairy haversack and a rewsome-looking bludeeon,both of w hich ave been with him during his hairbreadth ’scapes. Without the bludzecn, he says, he would not be alive, as when he was in the wilds of Persia highwaymen lay for him on various occasions, so that it was & case of thrills and throbs all the time. Where all ha has not been and what he has not seen would be bard to relate. He exhibits a scar on the underpart of the right hand, which; he declares, was from a hand-to-hand contest with a bandit. Then, he says, he got a shot in his nose and another in his foot. His nose seems hole, though, and without spot or blem: h, Ng sign of a shot in the foot was vis. er. 'With a knapsack over my shoulders I welked from Paris to Stuttgart,” he said. “From Stuttgart I made my way to Con- stantinople, and from there went through Persia and other countries to Siberia. crossed many of the mountain ranges of Asia and passed throught great stretches of wilderness. “When I started out I slept with my knapsack under my head, but when I had made a little money by writing and teach- g I began to ride by railand boat. When Ireached stretches of wilderness I walked, rode on horseback, or otherwise proceeded as I could. My hardest experiences probably were in the interior of Persia, where I was stopped by the robbers. It wasall I could do 1o get away. Iam looking pretty fairly in dress and health now, as vou have sng- gested, but I have looked different during much of my trip. I speak French, Ger- man and English, and have traveled ata great advantage because of my knowledge of them. “My first money was made at Rouen, where the story of my wager written in a hvmorous vein for the papers got me enough money for a traveling suit. I have accumulated a traveling trunk, many trinkets and files of papers and dif- ferent kinds of clothes since then.” Mr. Brouard is about 35 years old, rather under medium height, with a smooth- shaven bronzed face and dark gray eyes. He seems like a man of culture. It isun- certain how long he will remain here. He is at the Occidental, and reached here by way of Tacoma. — Found Dead al Fort Scott.

FOOLISH TRAIN ROBBERS, Told the Engineer to Run Ahead and He Forgot to Come Back. Also Then He Gave the Alarm and the Robbers Took to the Brush Without Any Booty. FORT WORTH, Tex., Nov. 3.—From those on the northbound *“Katy’ train, due at 9:15 p. M., but which arrived late one hour last nighit, the details of a hold- up at Alvarado were learned. It was a Nothing was secured by the would-be robbers, either from the United States mail, express or passen- gers. The robbers, three in number, flagged the train about a mile south of Alvarado. When it stopped they made the train por- ter, with persuasive eloquence of leveled six-shooters, cuv the baggage, mail and express cars from the rest of the train. These cars ‘were moved forward a little and then the robbers tried to force the ex- press messenger to open the car. He re- fused. Then the engineer was ordered to run his train forward far enough to get a ood start back into the standing cars at ull speed, and thus smash in the express- car so it could be entered. “All right,”” said the engineer, “but as me and my fireman will jump as soon as we get her under good speed backing, you haa better go back to the coaches and wait until the smash comes. If you don’t you stand a good chance of being killed.” They did not want to be killed. They wanted to get the money in the express- car. They took the engineer’s advice and waited. The engineer pulled ahead to get his distance, forgot to stop, and went on ahead until he got to Granville. Tele- grams were sent out for aid in capturing the robbers, but these worthies had be- come alarmed and taken to the brush. Afterward the engine was backed down, and the train proceeded on its journey with about one hour's delay. ———— HIGHBINDERS IN CHICAGO. San Francisco Methods of Extortion Not Tolerated by the Police of the Lake City. CHICAGO, Irr., Nov. 8.—It is thought at the Central police station that tha Chi- cago highbinders’ feud which has terror- ized the Chinese quarter of San Francisco has reached Chicago, and Inspector Fitz- patrick is taking action to promptly sup- press any trouble that may arise among the 1800 subjects of the Emperor of China who reside in this city. Several days ago a Chinaman named Soong Gee Tong secured a warrant for the arrest of Holy Woy, who had, Booung claimed, embezzled some money from him two years ago. When Woy was taken tn the station he declared he was the victim of highbinders. He said he left Chicago two years ago and went to Pittsburg, where he opened a laundry. He made money, and a few days ago started to re- turn to China to get married and live in comfort. The highbinders, he claims, thought he knew too much of their meth- ods to be allowed to tell them at home, especially as the Emperor had threatened to decapitate all relatives of the highbind- ers in'China. They therefore sent Tong to Chicago to have Woy arrested and thus prevent him from returning home. Inspector. Fitzpatrick believes the Chi- naman is telling the truth, and says if he finds there are highoinders in Chicago they will have to leave town. e ACTRESS ADA REHAN.
