IU -publican candidate for Governor, clostd hl3 campaign at a large meeting in the Auditorium in this city this evening, lie was assisted by ex-Governor Frank D. Jackson and lion. Sidney A. Foster. John Uriar, in charge of the literary bureau of the Republican state committee, said today that the heavy snow throughout Iowa would increase the Republican vote 10,) by driving the farmers from the cornfields end giving them a chance to cast their ballots. The Republican vot for McKinley last year was ü;7,sis. The state central committee estimates that there will be a falling rf of about 15 per cent, from last year's vote, or a de-crease of not far from 4.",jmj. If these figures are realized Mr. Cummlns'H vote will be in the. neighborhood of - ,'., e.'r 21, im more than the total vote received by Leslie M. Shaw two years ko. Shaw's plurality was ;.K;. Add to this figure the 1T1. additional Republican votes as estimated and the result is a plurality of TT.i.mj. Frank tj. Stuart, of the Democratic committee, is or opinion that th Republican plurality in Iowa will be substantially lowered this year, lie thinks th"- Democratic nominees on th county tickets over the State are a better class of irn than ever before nominated, and he b iin s that when election is over and the result is announced the number of Democratic county bittet-rs in Iowa will be larger than at any time in recent years. Ihe 1'rohibitionists are still sanguine their party will cast not less than 1I5.MJ votes this year as a protest against the nomination of Mr. Cummins by the Republicans for Governor. ix Tin: iilckiiyi: state. Rettin? Favor Republican Interest Centered In the Legislature. COLUMBUS. O., Nov. 4. The vote In Ohio to-morrow will be compared with that for Governor two years ago when votes were cast and Governor Nash, Republican, had a plurality of 49.023 over John R. McLean, Democrat. Two years ago 1W,721 votes were cast for Mayor Jones, of Toledo, nonpartisan candidate, and 16.003 votes for other minor candidate s. The latter will bo about the same to-morrow. The Jones vote of 1S1'J will materially affect the comparisons, especially In Cleveland and Toledo, as Jones then carried both Cuyahoga and Lucas counties. In 1SM there were S.luy precinct3 in the State. This year there are 3,221 precincts. Roth sides to-night repeat their previous claims. The betting is at various odds on the Republicans and mostly on the size of the plurality. The most spirited betting is on the legislative results in Cuyahoga, Franklin and other doubtful counties. Cold weather continues throughout the State. Advices from different parts of Ohio tonight Indicate great interest in doubtful counties for mtmlrs of the Legislature. There are no holding over members in any year. Ali members of both branches arc chosen every two years. Senator Foraker is Interested now in all the Republican legislative canuidates, as he is a candidate for re-election. There is a precedent to give inembe-rs the indorsement of a second term and this makes the candidates interested in all the otht.r Republican candidates who are running for their lirst terms, as they will be. if successful to-morrow, the Republican nominees in the same districts and counties two years hence, when Senator JIanna stands for re-election. The two Ohio senators have appeared repeatedly on the Fame platform and co-operated with Chairman Dick for both the State and the legislative tickets. The state administration has always been a potent factor in senatorial contests in Ohio. It Is conceded that the late John Sherman would have been defeated by Foraker In the former's last contest for the senatorship, but for the assistance of McKinley, who was elected Governor. In like manner Governor lloadley supported Senator I'ayne, Governor Campbell supported Senator Rrlce and Governor Bushneyy supported Senator Foraker. When liovernor Rushnell, during his second term, pposed Hanna for senator, the success of the latter by one vote was an exception to ' WEATHER FORECAST.

the rule, and it was said that the national administration then overcame the state administration. If elected to-morrow Governor Na&h will be in power several months after the election at which members of the Legislature are elected to choose a successor to Senator Hanr.a. It is reported that Congressman Dick, who has been a member of the state committee for many years. Is likely to be the Republican candidate for Governor two years hence, and "the aftermath" in many respects is as interesting to the politicians as the result of the election Itself to-morrow.

Lnndls Predicts fMMtO Plurality. Fpclal to the InJlanai-lis Journal. DELPHI. Ind., Nov. 4. Representative Landis returned from Ohio this morning, closing his campaign of ten days in the Ruckeye State at Lisbon Saturday night. Lisbon is 'the county seat of Columbiana county and the home of Represe ntative R. L. Tayler, who was chairman of the Roberts committee, and while there Mr. Landis was his guest. Mr. Landis spoke with Senator Hanna at Cleveland Saturday nlsht of last week and says all his meetings were well attended, but from the standpoint of enthusiasm were not what meetings are in a presidential campaign. He believes the Legislature is safely Republican and that Ohio will give Governor Nash Go.Ouo plurality. i:W BALLOT LAW IX MARYLAND. Political Managers Uncertain ns to How It Will Affect the Voting:. BALTIMORE. Md.. Nov. 4.-On the eve of election in thl3 State both parties claim to have the better of the situation, but the leaders refuse to give any figures. A state controller and a clerk of the Court of Appeals are the only state officers to be chosen, and most interest attaches to the election of a Legislature, which will choose a United States senator to succeed George L. Wellington, who was chosen as a Republican, and whose term will expire on March 3. 11Kj3. The campaign, which was one of the shortest on record, was marked with an apathy on the part of the voters that has puzzled the leaders of both parties and left the result considerably in doubt. In Raltimore City especially the situation is anything but clear. The Republican managers claim that they will elect the city ticket and will carry all three legislative districts. They count upon a large independent vote for their ticket. The Democrats say that their city ticket is safe and that they will win their legislative ticket in two districts. in the counties the outcome Is also exceedingly doubtful. The Democrats unquestionably believe that they will carry several of the counties heretofore considered hopelessly Republican, and this belief is largely based on the expectation that the new arrangement of the ballot will disfranchise the greater part of the illiterate colored voters. Republican leaders from the counties claim that they have succeeded in drilling their vote and that their loss will be very small. Nobody has as yet been able to forecast the exact effect of the new ballot law, and each side claims the other will suffer heaviest through its operation. Roth sides appeared to be equally as confident and only the counting of the vote can decide between the rival claimants. The counting of the ballots this year will be different than formerly, and it is doubtful whether the complete returns will be in until Wednesday afternoon. LIGHT VOTE PRODAI1LE. Temperature Dunn to Zero in Xorthvrestern Nebraska. LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 4. With zero weather reported at Alliance, in northwestern Nebraska, a light fall of snow In the eastern part of the State and prospects of more, the outlook. is not favorable for anjthing like an average vote to-morrow, even for an off year. Political managers affect to believe that with the interest awakened in the closing days of the campaign the voters wjll come out regardless of the weather, but they are united In the opinion that the totals will be much below last year. Headquarters of the two campaign committees were almost deserted to-night, but the rooms of both were open and will so remain until the result is definitely known. Chairman Lindsay, of the Republican committee, said: "We have conducted a thorough, effective and systematic campaign in every precinct of the State. Our party organization Is better to-day than It was last fall. We have a larger majority in Nebraska right now than we had In the last campaign, and if we don't elect Judge Sedgwick by an increased majority, it will be simply because the voters are not brought out." Vice Chairman Scott, for the Democrats, said he had nothing to add to his previous statement. He predicted the election of the fusion ticket. Chairman De France, of the Populist committee, coincided with Mr. Scott. He said: "I look for from 200.000 to 23.) votes for the head of the ticket. Sedgwick. Republican, will have about 94.0oo to !)J.uu) and Hollenbeck, fusion, from 100,000 to ltt,U00. Owing to the -weather our vote Is principally In the country and bad weather cuts it down." Ilrraii nnd n Snowstorm. OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 4. William J. Bryan closed the campaign In Nebraska for the fuslonlsts with four speeches in this city and South Omaha to-night. At each place Mr. Bryan was greeted by enthusiastic crowds, notwithstanding a snowstorm. The principal speech to-night was at Franck Hall, where he spoke to the people on national issues. Mr. Br-an said to-night that he expected that Nebraska fusionists would elect their state ticket by a fair majority, but refused to make an estimate on other States. EXTRAVAGANT CLAIMS. Pennsylvania Fnsionists Say Their Ticket Will Be Elected. PIIIIVDELPIIIA, Nov. 5. The leaders of both the Republican and fusion parties tonight reiterate their claims that their respective candidates will carry the State. Chairman Reeder, of the Republican party, said to-night tlTat late advices received from western and northwestern counties lead him to raise his former estimate. He now says Harris and Potter, the Republican candidates, respectively, for state treasurer and Supreme Court justice, will have nearer 110.000 than 100,00) majority. Chairman Creasy, of the Democratic state committee, declined to give figures, but confidently predicted the election of Coray and Yerkes, the fusion candidates for stale treasurer and justice of the Supreme Court. He said: T can conscientiously say that Coray und Yerkes will be elected. Twothirds of the counties of the State will give majorities for them." Chairman Ritter, of the Union party, also claims that Coray and Yerkes will be victorious. Ho said they will come to Philadelphia with at least 50.000 majority, and that Philadelphia may even give a majority for the fusion candidates. Chairman Miles, of the Philadelphia city committee, claims a majority of over G0,0"0 for the regular Republican state ticket, and the same figure for Weaver, regular candidate for district attorney. The Municipal League is predicting the election of Rothermel. the fusion candidate for district attorney, by from lO.ooo to 2u" over Weaver, and also predict a majority In the city for the state fusion ticket. Coray Eieets Ills; Vote. WILKSRARRE. Pa.. Nov. 4 E. A. Coray. the union Democratic candidate for state treasurer, issued a statement tonight. In which he says he Is In receipt of reports from every county In the State and thev nil Indicate a bl,r vote for the fusion ticket. He thinks the State outside of Philadelphia will give 7. 000 for fusion. No prediction 1 made ns to the vote in Philadelphia. The agricultural and coalmining counties are expected to vote for Coray and Yerkes, the fulon candidates. ILLEGAL REGISTRATIONS. Democrats Will Attempt to Carry Louisville by Fraud. LOUISVILLE. Ky., Nov. 4. It appears to-night that the special feature of the election In Louisville to-morrow when a mayor and full city and county and legislative tickets will be voted for, will be the attempt of the Republicans to challenge Democratic voters whom they suspect of being Illegally registered. The Republican managers will have men at the polls in each precinct with a lUt of names of per-

?ons whom the Republicans allege are illegally registered. They declare they will challenge the vote of any person on the lis-1 who offers co vote. The Republican managers sent circular letters through the mails to th persons In question and claim a large number were returned by the letter carriers with the indorsement that the person to whom the letter vast addressed was not to be found at the address given and this address was the address from which the person in question had registered. The Republicans regard the nondelivery of the letters as presumption of illegal registration. They threaten that if such persons offer to vote they will be arrested. Tho Democrats deny all charges of illegal registration and charge the Republicans with attempted intimidation. They deny that any of the voters on the Republican managers' lists can be arrested for offering to vot. and say any challenged voter can. by affidavit, establish -his right to vote. The weather promises to be clear and cool. Chairman C. C. McChord, of the Democratic state campaign committee, to-night gave out a statement in which he claims the Democrats will have twenty-two to twenty-five of the thirty-eight members cf the senate of the next General Assembly, and from sixty-two to sixty-five rjt the Vß) members of the lower house. This General Assembly will elect a United States senator to succeed William J. Deboe.

Clash at Polls Possible. DENVER. Col.. Nov. 4. Both the Democratic and Republican party leaders tonight express confidence in the result of tomorrow's election. The Democrats control several of the county offices. The sheriff, however, supports the Republican -ticket, and it is asserted that he will appoint a large number of deputies for duty at the polls, while on the other hand the fire a.nd police board, composed of Democrats, is charged with appointing a large force of special policemen to counteract the action of the sheriff. Two years ago a collision occurred between the police and the deputy sheriffs in which several men were killed and wounded, and similar trouble Is exacted this year If the same tactics be followed. The election throughout the State Includes only county officers, and in only a few counties is much interest taken in the result. Party Lines Drawn In Kansas. TOPEKA, Kan., Nov. 4. The election in Kansas to-morrow will be only for township ofllcers and County Commissioners, yet there is an interest shown more than local. Party lines are closely drawn, and there Is a general feeling that the winning party will be in good condition to control the state election next year. There are three candidates for Governor among the Republicans, and the political managers of each are keeping a close watch on the situation throughout the State. The election will also be interesting as giving an idea of the political complexion of the next Legislature. Hopes for a Plurality of fiO.OOO. SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Nov. 4.-Col. A. II. Goetting, chairman of the Republican state committee, said to-night: "We will be satisfied if Governor Crane receives a plurality of SO.uoO. The difficulty will be in getting out the vote." ELEVATORS BURNED. Thousands of Ilnshels of Wheat, Corn and Outs Destroyed. PORT HURON, Mich., Nov. 4. Fire tonight destroyed two large adjoining grain elevators owned by the Botsford Elevator Company here, entailing a loss of $3oO,GOO.

Jurvl Hall Military Academy Rnrned. DENVER, Col., Nov. 4. Jarvis Hall Military Academy at Mont Clair, eight miles from Denver, a school for boys, maintained by the Episcopal Church of the diocese of Colorado, was burned to the ground tonight, causing a loss estimated at $73,000. Seventy-five students roomed in the building, but all escaped without Injury. The origin of the fire is unknown.

A cablegram was received here this afternoon from Vicente Guerrera, who Is In Havana as the agent of the Cigar Manufacturers' Association. He was scheduled to have the steamship Florida sail this afternoon for Tampa with cigar makers. The Resistencla Union leaders from Tampa and Key West were there and precipitated a general strike in all the Havana cigar factories nnd the men were soon In the streets using all the means in their power to prevent the embarkation of men for Tampa. So much trouble was created that Mr. Guerrera asked for protection, which was at onco accorded him. Under protection, fifty cigar makers were placed on board the vessel which sailed from Havana about 5 o'clock thi3 afternoon.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. Lord Pauncefote, the British ambassador, called on Secretary Hay to-day to announce formally to the secretary his return from a vacation In England lasting all summer and his readiness to undertake at once the conclusion of the new Hay-Pauncefote treaty. The Interview lasted about half an hour. Many topics were touched on beside the treaty, which was not given particular consideration to-day, the conversation on that point being rather preliminary to the beginning of the treaty drafting. Lord Pauncefote did not bring with him to the States a copy of the proposed convention. In fact, this document does not exist as such, for, although the principal points of the treaty have been agreed upon between the tw principals, they have yet to be transferred from protocols Into a formal treaty. This work of transference will begin in about a week, according to the present expectation, and if It proceeds steadily after that timei, the new treaty will be in shape for submission to the Senate immediately after that body convenes next month. Lord Pauncefote did not bring to Secretary Hay any late views from the British government as to the treaty. The secretary has been advised so fully by Ambassador Choate at their conference at New Haven of the details of what had been done in London, and the cable reports had been so complete that there was nothing new to be communicated on the subject. Mr. Gerard .Lowther, the first secretary of embassy, who served as charge during Lord Pauncefote's absence, is about to leave the United States for England. Important Case Advanced.

"I was in England when President McKinley was shot and during the days preceding his death." said Mr. Choate to-night, when speaking of the late President. "The English people were very deeply stirred over the event. They felt a sincere grief.

POLITICAL HONESTY.

Wlllinm Allen White Makes n Plea for American Polities. In the preface of his new book, "Stratagems and Spoils, Stories of Love and Politics," William Allen White, the Kansas editor, politician and writer, embodies a vigorous defense of American political honesty. From so experienced an authority it comes with peculiar force and seems to have a special Interest at this time. He says: "But to come to politics: There is much scandalous talk by scantily informed people about the corruption of politics. The trulh of the matter is that politicians are about as honest in their business as storekeepers are in their business, or lawyers are in their business, or bankers, or preachers, or day laborers, or farmers, or college professors are in their own callings. "Of course, politicians are not so honest as lawyers imagine they would be if they were preachers, nor as preachers fancy they would be If they were storekeepers, nor as storekeepers believe they would be as lawyers. "But in the main the business or professional man has no reason to despise the politician, for the politician does not lie unless he is forced to by another mans duplicity (which Is the standard in other vocations.) He does not take bribes except in ignorance as the business man and the farmer and the preacher do every day of their lives. And the politician, above all, does not admire the cheat and the deceiver. "The political Heals of the average, ward caucus are as high as the ideals in most ether gatherings. The brave man, who wins by raw courage and shrewd directness aiid simple honesty, is honored as sincerely and i is as successful in politics to-day as he is in any other branch of human endeavor, however exalted its criterion. The county convention of Douglas county, Kansas, or of Kings county, New York, Is perated on a moral plane about as high as the faculty politics of the average university or as that of the church politics of the various religious organizations. "In the business of politics we are all partners. The concern reflects the American average. The man who .does not participate in the partnership who refuses to vote merely drags down the average for an honest negro or an active Polak or a capable Irish emigrant to elevate." WISE CHANGES IN THE NAVY. Healthful Inilnence of Glvlnsr Enlisted Men a Chance for Promotion. Providence Journal. The recent promotion of two warrant officers In our navy to the rank of enslgii marks a eleparture in that branch of service, or rather, perhaps, a return to earlier customs. In the United States army the practice of promoting men from the ranks for merit has always prevailed, and there Is no good reason why similar chances should not be given to the bluejackets of the navy when they are able to pass the examinations required of graduates of Annapolis. For a long time officers of the navy have complained of the difficulty of securing a good class of men as recruits from among native-born citizens. But this Is not surprising In the face of 'the fact that the grade of warrant officer was the highest to which an enlisted man could aspire, not matter what talents he might possess or what might be the length of hi service. Such a state of affairs would naturally deter many a young man with a taste for sea life from entering a career in which ambition must be laid aside, and when, by the very putting on of a uniform, he would confess to his friends and acquaintances that he had resigned all desire to rise and had consented to always occupy a subordinate position. Now, however, this is all changed, and a foremast hand, by paying strict attention to duty, studying hard and leading a correct life, may find himself in line of promotion to the highest rank. It has been objected that enlisted men have not the social advantages enjoyed by the cadets of the Naval Academy and that any such who might receive commissions would stand on a different plane and might be found wanting in situations requiring tact and delicacy of handling. But this objection needs little attention. Men of ability make their way even if their manners may be a little rough and not equal to those of the young man who Is most at home at young ladies' afternoon teas. A perfect comprehension of the fact that the olficers of the United States navy understand their business will count much more with the representatives of foreign powers than any suavity of manner. CHINESE HONESTY. It Mlsht Well lie Taken ly All the World for an Example. Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle. A returned military officer from China expresses much admiration for some Chinese virtues. He says that, well led, they would make admirable soldiers. But what Impressed him most he details in the subjoined paragraph: "The most remarkable characteristic of the Chinaman is his honesty. With very few exceptions a Chinaman's word is as good as his bond, and he can safely transact business matters involving large sums of money by word of mouth. This, of course, is only among themselves, as contact with the foreigner has taught them the necessity of notes and securities when dealing with other races. The same applies to contracts and any other binding agreement. One of their strongest beliefs is that all debts must be paid on their New Year, and if necessary they will sell the last rag on their backs to liquidate their Indebtedness." In this important respect the Chinese are superior to the Western nations and might teach them one large element of civilization. No nation has been more dishonestly dealt with than the Chinese, yet they remain the most honest of nations so far as commercial transactions are concerned. Under the circumstances, it is not wonderful that Chinese are hard to convert, and that missionaries find that field of labor rather discouraging. HIS BALLOON DIRIGIBLE. Dentsch Prize of 100,OX Francs Awarded to Santos-Duniont. PARIS, Nov. 4. The committee of the Aero Club, by a vote of 12 to 0 to-day proclaimed M. Santos-Dumont, the Brazilian aeronaut, the winner of the prize of lOo.OoO francs offered by M. Deutsch, for a dirigible balloon. The vote was preceded by warm discussion. Count Dion, who presided, while eulogizing the courage of M. Santos-Dumont, contended that he had not won the prfze owing to the time limit. Prince Roland Bonaparte, on behalf of the special committee, who watched th' contests, declared that M. Santos-Dumont ha.l materially and morally won the prize, because a new regulation as to the time limit was never officially Indorsed by the Aero Club. HOEY'S CASE CONTINUED.
