M'CLELL A ISMAYOR

Son of "Little Mac" Defeats Low for Ruler of Greater - New York. BUT OHE JJTJBOUGH IS FOE L017 Znd That by a Plurality of Orly 200 Devery Uowhere XXaauachusetts Remain in the Republican Column with Ohio and Iowa Hanna'a Sara V Thing. New York, Nor. 4. At 8:15 p. m. Major Low entered his office- and to the newspapermen said that he was about to send the following telegram to Colonel McClellan: I congratulate you on jour election. If X can be of service to you, pray command me. The mayor then said: 'I think that the telegram sums up all that I bare to say tonight" Now York, Nov. 4. Afttr a remarkable campaign in which there wa s united against him nearly all of the newspapers and practically every minister of religion in the city, George B. McClellan, son of the civil war general, has been elected third mayor of the Greater New York, over Seth Low, Fusionist, the present mayor, by a pluoioboi a. m'cttti.ax. rality of about 70,000. Edward M. Grout was elected comptroller, and Charles V. Fornes president of the board of aldermen. These two men were originally on the Fusion ticket, and were indorsed by Tammany, whereupon the Fusionists took their names from the Low ballots and nominated other candidates. ITry Was id Also "Also Ban. A surprise was the low vote for "William S. Devery, ex-chief of police, who ran on an independent ticket which was given practically no support. This results shows a tremendous changeof public sentiment since Mayor Low's election two years ago, when he won by 31,632. At that time he carried all the boroughs but Queens, his plurality in Manhattan and the Bronx being 5,653; Brooklyn, 25,767, and in Richmond, 763. In Queens Saepard, Dem., had a plurality of 561. Low Got bat One Borough, - This time McClelJan carried Manhattan and the Bronx by about 58,000, a ;ain of 63,000; Brooklyn by about 6 T, a gain of 31,000, and Queens by out 5,000, a gain of more than 4,CO. Tills makes a total net gain for fclcAClellan of a be at 103,000, as compar4 wlt2i Shepard'i rote of two years a. go. Xow carried only on a borough Richmond by about 200 votes. New. York, Nor. 4. McClellan's plurality in the city of New York is 61,414. OADf IX THE LEGISLATURE Republicans Bare Seren More Membe Bow the Mayors Fared. Returns from all assembly districts of the state gave the Republicans ä net gain of seven In the assembly, with two districts in doubt, thereby increasing the Republican majority In the state assembly. Harvey Watterson, son of Colonel Henry Watterson, of Louisville, was defeated by a very close vote In a strongly Republican district in Manhattan. Returns from the state indicate the election of Republican mayors In Syracuse, Rome, Elmlra, Plattsburg, Rochester, Albany, Blnghamton, Watertown. and Oneida. Jn Oswego, Ctica, Schenectady, Troy and " Amsterdam Democratic mayors were elected.' The latest return indicate that tha canal proposition to widen and deepen the- state canals to admit of the passage r 1,000-ton barges, has been carried by a majority of about 175,000. The proposition carries with it an appropriation of $101,000,000. Tbevoteof Brooklyn for mayor, with four election districts missing, gives; UcClclIan, 101,439; Low, 9,723. XX TUB WKTERX STATES Eick Claim la Ohio Cammlai fleeted la Iowa Xraea and Colorado. Cclunbns, O., Nov. 4. The Democratic state committee is giving out to statements. Ths Republican state committee announced that the plurality f:r Herri:!: over Jcbnsoa fcr cot

ernor would exceed any plurality ever given a governor In Ohio and that the Republican majority on joint ballot in the legislature for the re-election of Senator Hanna would be over 100. Before retiring Chairman Dick sent the following telegram to Senator Hanta at Cleveland: "Hcrrlck's plurality will reach 123,00. Republicans elect twenty-nine senators; Democrats elect four. Republicans elect eighty-six members of thehou6e and the Demo crats twelve. , Twelve districts are not yet reported. This insures a Republic-' an membership of 115 and a Republican majority on Joint ballot of eightyseven, giving yon the largest vote for United States senator ever recorded In the general assembly of Ohio, and marking the most complete political triumph In the history of the state. Denver, Nov. 4. With nearly full retiirns from the election in this city and scattering returns from various patts of the state there seems little doubt of the election of John Camp; Ik: 11, Rep., for member of the suprema court. . No other office was filled by this year's election. Chairman Miller Smith, of tho Democratic state central committee, says: "Returns so far received show that Wilson, Dem., has carried this city by about 5,500 plurality, but that the Republicans have made gains In the state outside of Denver, and that Campbell Is elected by a small plurality." The News (Democratic) concedes the election of Campbell. The Republican state central committee claims Campbell's e4ectlon by 5,000 to 7,000 plurality over Wilson. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 4. Based on returns from 115 voting precincts outside of Lancaster county' (Lincoln) and Douglas county (Omaha) the Republican state central committee claims the election of the entire Republican ticket by not less than 10,000 plurality. This claim is considered conservative, and newspaper returns tend to confirm it. The vote for the 115 precincts gave Barnes, Rep., 9,642; Sullivan. Fusion, 8,102. The same precincts two years ago gave the Republican candidate y,675, with the Fusion 8,107, a change so slight thct it will require a Fusion landslide from an unexpected quarter to overcome the Republican plurality of 12,000 of two years ago. Des Moines, la., Nov. 4. Returns received up to this writing Indicate the re-election of Gcernor Cummins by a plurality of at least 56,000, and his associates on the Republican ticket by substantially the same pluralities. At Democratic headquarters so large a plurality is not admitted. The legislative returns, although not complete. Indicate material Democratic gains over two years ago, when the house contained eighty-two Republicans and eighteen Democrats and the senate forty Republicans and en Democrats; but the Republicans have a good working majority. The Republican managers figure a plurality of 60,000. Chairman Jackson, of the Democratic committee, said: "I still hold that Cummins' plurality will not be over 30,000. - BAY STATE RE-ELECTS BATES

Including- the Balance of the Republican Ticket Other Eastern Stated. Boston, Nov. 4. Although somewhat pushed by the exertions of thtlr opponents the Republicans In the state lection re-elected Governor John L. Bates by practically the ea me plurality as last year. The rest of the ticket was also elected and the party probably will have the usual proportion of tven rr nno In tl 7vleglilatureof 19xx iue- vaxi returns showed that GOV. bates. ,". V T ernor nates had made slight, gams in the small towns and cities, but this was overcome by the Democrats in this city who succeeded -in increasing Colonel Gaston's plurality of 13,000 last year to nearly 20,000 this year. In addition to electing their state ticket and holding the-legislature, the Republicans were also successful In retaining control of the governor's council which will be composed of fire Republicans and an Democrat. With returns complete "from every town and city- in tbe state the. total vote for governor Is: Bates, Rep.,. 199,893; Gaston, Dem., 163,544 a plurality for Bates of. nearly 30,000. The Socialist party, which bad three members of the legislature last year, will be represented by only one, a member from Brocton. The total vote of the dty for governor was Gaston, Dem., 47,323; Bates, Rep., 2894. Last year the city gave Gaston 45,663, and Bates 32,127. Philadelphia, Nov. 4. -Figures from the sixty-seven counties of the state Indicate a plurality for Mathues, Rep.; for state treasurer of 217,784. Snyder, for auditor general, and Morrison and Henderson, for judges of the supreme ccsrt, were given approximately the same pluralities. Snyder, who became the object of criticism because as a state senator he voted for what Is popularly known as the press muzzier" law, was apparently cut very little.' The-returns .indicate Republican gains in forty-nine counties and Democratic gains Jn the remaining eighteen counties. It is apparent from the nature of the estimates received during the night tha?: the official count will increase the. Republican plurality to such an extent that it may exceed 225,000. Trenton, N. J., Nov. 4. The Republicans In New Jersey elected four-.of the six state senators and enough cf the assembly to claim both ' houses. Tj; entire Democratic assembly ticket was elected In Union county, which ia a defeat, for United States Senator ICcan. The next senate will xtarJ fourteen Republicans and seven ,JDeo-cr-ts. Ia the house at least thirty-elr

S . r-Tv

of the sixty members will be Republicans. . - Providence, R. I., Nov. 4. The retruns indicate the re-election of Governor Garvin, I era., by a greatly reduced plurality. The vote is very close, however, and the result probably will be In doubt until the last district is heard from. The Republican state central committee claims that later returns will overcome Garvin's lead.

UABTLAND AMD KENTUCKY Slow Retarn, bat Democratic SacceM Indicated la Both State. Baltimore. Nov. 4.- At this writing only eighty-five of the 308 voting precincts of Baltimore city have been reported ts tbe election supervisor's office. These, If the ratio of Democratic gains are maintained, indicate that Edwin Warfleld. the Democratic nominee for governor, bes carried the city by 7,000 or 8.000 plurality. Returns from the counties are meager. Indications point to the election of Edwin Warßeld, Dem., as governor over Stevenson A. Williams, Rep., and that the legislature which' will elect a United States senator will also be Democratic. r I.ouIsvIlIe, Nov. 4. With the close of an election characterized by an unS. C W. BECKHAM. usually heavy vote, numerous disorders, and evidences of many gross Irregularities the re-election of Governor Beckham, the Democratic candidate, over Colonel Morris B. Belknap, Rep., by a nmjorlty of fully 15,000 seems assured. The Republicans concede the election of Governor Beckbam. The day In Louisville was an exciting one and the eelction was bitterly fought, and the allegations of fraud arenumerous.includlng Intimidation of negro voters. These conditions led to many fights, the most serious of whfch occurred between Tom Klley, a Democratic election ofiicer, and Jacob Riemer, a Republican ofiicer.. The men used pistols and Kllcy was seriously wounded. Of the 119 counties In the state returns Lave been received from thirtyeight. These give Beckham 54,054 and Belknap, 36,770. Over forty of t-e counties are remote,' some of them being nearly two days' Journey from telephone or telegraph wires. Louisville and Jefferson county gave Beckham 5,200 majority over Belknap In round numbers. Yerkes, Rep., carried Louisville and Jefferson county at the last gubernatorial election by 5,100. This gain of 10,000 votes, added to Beckham's majority of 3,500 at the last election insures him a majority of 13,500 If all the other counties in the state duplicate their vote at the last gubernatorial election. Beckham, bowever, has made a total gain of Nearly 2,000 In his total vote from the twenty odd counties heard from. . ' Schmitt Win at S-tn Francisco. San Francisco, Nov. 4. The city election brought out a heavy vote. The incomplete returns indicate that Eugene T. Schmitz, the Union-Labor party candidate, has been re-elected mayor with Charles Crocker, Republican, a fairly close second. Tlrgiala Is All Ons Way. Richmond, Va., Nov. 4. The elections In Virginia, which was for members of the assembly, have resulted in a Democratic sweep of the state. ' Flvs Men Go Dewn; Ons Dead. Houston, Tex., Nov. 4.

REDSKIN AMBUSCADE

Laid for a Sheriff and His Posse Results in a Battle of an Hour. 8EEEIFF IS ONE OF THE KILLED Second Battle Reported with Heavy Loss by the Indians Five Hun drcd Men In Chase. Denver, Colo., Nov. 8. Five hmdred men. including sheriffs' posses augmented by volunteers from the ranches adjacent, are scouring the country In the vicinity of Lightning Creek, in eastern Wyoming, in search of the band of Indians which Saturday afternoon fought a battle with Sheriff Miller's posse, killing the sheriff and one deputy named Fossenburg. .The latest advices are to the effect that a second battle has been fought and ten Indians killed and eleven others captured, but this has not as yet been verified. News from the scene of the trouble, which is twenty-flve mlhs from telegraphic com m urica tic n, is very meagtr. Laid In Ambnscade for the Sheriff. The Indians, seventy-flve in number, said to be under the leadership of Charlie Carries Elk, are supposed to be Slouxs from the Fine Ridge and Rosebud agencies in South Dakota. They have been hunting In the Converse country, Wyo, in violation of the game laws of the state. Sheriff Miller with a posse went to the scene of their depredations last Saturday, and for the purpose of arresting the Indians. The Indian's had received warning of the coming of the whites, and prepared an ambuscade for them. The posse would have been entirely wiped out but for the fact they were proceeding cautiously and were in a measure prepared for some trick on the part of the Indians. Fight Laated for an Hour. At the first volley from the Indians Sheriff Miller and his deputies hastily ran to cover, and then ensued a genuine Indian fight. The whites found refuge behind trees and boulders. It is thought that at least six Indians were killed and several others wounded, among the latter being Eagle Feather, a subchief. The battle lasted almost an hour, when the Indians began to make their escape by ones and tos on horseback. They carried their dead and wounded with them, and are now believed to be well on their way to the Bad Lands in Nebraska. DEMAND MADE OJi WASHINGTON That the Indians Must De Punished Theil Excuse for Killing Game. - The officers did not attempt to follow, but sent a courier to Lusk, the nearest telegraph office, with a message to Governor Chatterton apprising him of what had occurred. The news of the battle spread rapidly, and every ranchman lor miles around armed himself and joined one of the numerous posses hastily, organized to punish the Indians. The governor wired the In-! terior department at Washington that the Indians must be Immediately arrested. For the past two weeks the band of Indians had been in northeastern Wyoming slaughtering game in violation of tbe laws. In addition the settlers have been complaining bitterly that the Indians have been killing and stealing their cattle. Settlers warned the leaders of tbe band to leave the country, but tbe redskins only laughed at them. They alleged that the government had so reduced the amount of the rations that they were forced to kill game to keep from starving. Charlie" Carries Elk openly declared that if he and his followers were driven too far they would fight. . When Sheriff, Mil If r, of Weston county, was notified of the refusal of the Indians to get out of the state, and the threats made by them, he organized a small posse, including R. D. Hackney, D. O. Johnson, Frexl Howell, Lieutenant B. F. Hilton and James Davis, and started for Beaver Creek, eiong which the reskins were encamped. On Friday the Indian camp was reached. It was deserted by all except the squaws, children and a few old men, who were busy skinning wild animals and preparing the meat for winter use. The entire camp was placed under arrest and sent - to New Castle in charge of Lieutenant Hilton. The posse started on a search for the braves. They were located Saturday and during the afternoon Sheriff Miller and his deputies started to close , In on them. When the whites got within rifle range of the Indian camp they were suddenly Sred uptn and the battle followed. The "Infuriated" Mob Again. Shreveport, La., Nov. 3. Joseph Craddock, a negro, was lynched by an infuriated mob composed chiefly of blacks, at Taylortown in Bossier parish, about seventeen miles from Shreveport.

GAS BELT'S

HEEDS

Plenty of Coal and Then Factories That Do Not Depend on Fuel. GIRL DIDITT EKOW Until It Was Too Late, Her Intended Husband Aocepting but Ono Chance State Notes. w Munde, Ind., Nov. 3. To insure the continued prosperity of the Indiana ga belt two things are necessary, according to tbe business meo of this locality. Ons of tbe Is some method of bringing soft coal into the belt at a cheap rate and in as great quantities as may be needed, and the other It the location of factories whose existence is not dependent especially upon the fuel supply. In every town of the gas belt the business men and manufacturers are bending themselves to the task of accomplishing these two things. -If the fuel question were satlsfactoriy settled, there would be no doubt of Increasing prosperity, the manufacturers say. Too Late to Iluy That Road. Munde manufacturers are holding conferences almost dally to discuss methods of relieving the coal famine which threatens them. A scheme much discussed is the formation of a company of Indiana manufacturers and business men to purchase the old Midland railroad, or Central Indiana, as it is now called, which is owned jointly by the Big Four and Pennsylvania roads. There was a time when the road could have been purchased for a song, but it is doubtful if its present owners would be willing to part with it. . Central Indiana Road Would Do. If th road could be bought, the plan would be to convert It into a coalcarrying road almost exclusively at the beginning, though afterward it might be enlarged Into both a general freight and passenger road. The Central Indiana, whose eastern terminus Is Munde, penetrates the Indiana coal fields, and if the roads were properly equipped with cars and engines, could eaIIy solve the fuel problem In the gas belt. Vuel Supply Is lacreaeed. The situation here was partly relieved last week by the arrival of several carloads of coal for the iron mills. It Is said assurances have been given that there will be more coal in the city this week. Some or the mil's are still using natural gas. and as long as there Is plenty of this fuel which will probably be until the weather becomes extremely cold there will be no danger of their closing.
