The weather is clear and cold in all parts of the commonwealth, aud all the indications point to the polling of a heavy vote in the Massachusetts state elec-tion today. Reports from alt parts of the state show a very full vote is being poilcd, and both the democrats and republicans appear confident of victory. The returns from the polls in this city give but little indication of the large increase re-ported iu the registration. At all points the polling is steadily going on w ithout any un-usual excitement or manifestations of in-terest. At Lawrence the voting is apparently heavier than last year. At Lawrence a big vote Is being polled aud it is estimated that; Russell will" have 1,000 majority. At Fall River the election is proceeding quietly and a large vote is being cast. The republicans expect that Allen will re-ceive a much larger vote than Bracket did. At all the polling places it is conceded that; Russell's vote will be larger than last year. regents. The prohibitionists nominated Mrs. Ada Bittenbender for supreme judge, and Rev. W. M. Gorst and Mrs. Caroline for regents. ,' AH parties admit that the contest between the republicans and the farmers of the inde-pendent party will be very close, the prohi-bition vote naturally being- - light. In no other state in the Union has the campaign been so entirely and exclusively devoted to to financial questions. Even the tariff has been almost lost sight of in the sharp fight which is waged between the republicans and independents upon the silver question. At their stale conventions the republicans endorsed prohibition and the independents denounced it. The republicans endorsed the republican silver coinage act, but denounced unlimited silver coinage. The independent demanded the issue of legal tender notes y the government in sufficient volume to transact the business of the country in qeu of the present national bank notes; loans to, the peopla and the unlimited coinage or silver. There is no reason to believe that the independent, or alliance, party has de- - clined much in membership within the past year, and with the democrats out of the ficlaj , they ought to carry the state. i DEMOCRATS NOT IN THE RACE. Lixcolx, Neb., Nov. 3. The great inter-est felt in the election in this state was sel-dom before equalled in Nebraska not be-cause of the high offices at stake, for only a supreme judge and regents of the univer-sity are to be elected, but because it is to de-termine whether or not the farmer's alliance or independent party is to gain the political supremacy. In one respect the present situation is without parallel in the past thirty or forty years. The democratic party is w ithout a candidate,allow)Eg the state to go by default. This is all the more remarkable when it is remembered that but one year ago their candidate, Boyd, was elected governor, and was only deprived of his high office, on the grounds of The present; demoralization of the democratic party isi due to tho refusal of their nominee of su-preme judge to make the race, whereupon their candidates for regents were alike with-drawn, and the field left to the republi. cans, the independents and the prohibition-- . ists. The republicans nominated A. M. Post for supreme judge Charles Marsh and H. P. Sumway lor regent. The independents nominated 3. W'. Edgerron for supreme judge, A. Dallenand and E. A. Hadlcy for v ' f - i Joluf W-- Morrison, republican; AdelbertL.

This the republican leaders wji.Uqtf admit; thev claim that they will re-cfi-nerly, if not quite, the full party vote for aa ot year. In sunpoTt of this claim tfcey point to the fact that there are no any kind among the party leaders, as there was last year when Fattison i democrat ) was elected g'overnor over Dela-roat-republican) by a plurality of 18.554. f Char.'man Watres of the republican state caftmijjtee estimated the majoritv for the re-publican ticket at 40,000 to 48,000. Chair-tna- a Kerr of the democratic state committee Hiirned that the democrats would come to with 38,000 majority. As the republicans only claim 25.fH.tO majority in Pixi.adelphia, this would leave 15,000 demo-cratic raajorfty. The democratic leaders also cim that Tilden, candidate for state trea-"c- r, will ruu strongly ahead of his ticket. THE OLD KEYSTONE STATE. Philadelphia, Nov. 3. Pennsylvania is voting for auditor-genera- l, state treasurer, and for or against the holding1 of a consti-tutional convention.

In the court of appeals today the argument was resumed in the ap-pe-of the executors of the will of Maybrick. ir Edward Clarke, attoruey-genera- l, on be-half of the defendants, resumed his argu-ment this raurnins, saying as the law did not permit a wife, or other representative of an insured person who committed suicide to recover the insurance money, the law could not allow a person to proht by his or her own criminal act. The master. Lord lh:r, in sum-ming up, oaid he thought a truce on. struetion of policy was that tbe money should be paid to the. executors in trut. If that was done, and a receipt oMained, the respondents were not. bound to see the tru?t fulfilled. After further argument judgment reserved. THE DISTRICT COURT. Local Brokers Deeply Interested in a Case on "Commission.'' At 2 o'clock this afternoon the wheels be-gan their steady grind in the district court again, with Judge. Zanc on the touch, and the case of Geo. H. Touscy et al. vs. Geo. A. Etzcl, which was begun yesterday, on call. The action is to recover 2000 as a commis-sion claimed to be due plaintiffs on a trans-action in nhich it Is set up that plaintiff procurred a purchaser for the North Part mining claim in Silver Lake district, Utah, the purchase price being $20,10t The plain-tiffs allege that the defendants refused to al-low the sale to be consummated or to pay the commission agreed upon, where foi e they demand judgment for fOOO aud costs. . The defense makes a denial of auy agree-ment having been entered into with plain-tiff. A similar action was tried before the courts of Colorado in the case of Thomas Goad vs. the. Twin Lakes Gold and Placer Mining company some three, years ago. and the plaintiff, although not "recognized" in the deal when the hour of final consumma-tion arrived, the court awarded judgment in the sura of $i;,000 for the part he had taken in itf promotion. The action has aroused much interest among brokers of all classes, a large number of whom are in attendance at the court chamber. McMillin discussed the tariff and the "billion j dollar congress." Statu issues were almost ! forgotten. . : j Four complete state- - tipkets are in the field. For governor, .james B. Campbell, i the present incumbent, is" the democratic candidate; William McKinley, jr., the re-publican; John Scitz, "the people's; John J. Ashechurst.'the prohibition.' Upon the tar-iff issue, clearly defined, between the two great parties, for and against the MeKinley law, the : prohibitionists declared for the tariff only as a means to international reci-procity; the people's party demanded that' taxation should not be used to build up one interest or class at the expense of another. Upon the financial question, the republican party endorsed the amended coinage act of the last republican congress, by which the entire product of the silver mines of the United States is added to the currency of the people. The democrats denounced the demoneti-zation of silverdn 1S73, and demanded the reinstatement of the constitutional stand-tr- d of both gold and silver, with the equal right of each to free and unlimited coinage. The prohibitionists demanded a circulating medium of gold, silver and paper. The people's party demanded that full legal-tend- er treasury notes be issued in sufficient volume to conduct the business of the coun-ar- y on a cash basis, and favored government loans directly to the people, at a rate of in-terest not to exceed 2 per cent and the un-limited coinage of silver. Major MeKinley having made frequent references in his speeches to the growing American industry of the manufacture of tin, a sharp controversy arose over the ques-tion, whether there was any growing tin in-dustry, or even any tin ore in the United States. The outlook was not easy to deter-mine. The opposition to Governor Camp-bell in his own party was so pronounced be-fore his nomination that the republicans had no thought of the possibility of his success, and placed MeKinley-- majority at 30,000 and upwards. But, as the campaign pro-gressed, the voice of opposition has been stifled and its extent is less and less appar-ent. So far as appearances go, the tight has not been seriously influenced by the people's and prohibitionist parties. Chairman Hahu of the republican state committee estimates the election of MeKin-ley by 19,000 to 21,000, and claims that the republicans will carry the senate by four majority and the house twenty to twenty-si-x majority. He believes that the people's party will poll 20,000 votes, tbe prohibition- ists 17,000. Chairman Neal of the demo-cratic committee claims the election of Campbell by 11,000 plurality and the general assembly by eight on joint ballot. Governor ; Campbell thinks there is not the least doubt of his election. At the election two years; ' ago Campbell received b7i.423: Eoraker 368.557. SIGNS OF VICTORY.

It deals voluminously with affairs pertain-in- g to Utah, its population, its progress, and t rj general development since September, 1. t The population of Salt Lake City and couuty is lived at 5!,yl, I'rovo and Utah county at 27,: Ogden and Weber county at ''.'klt:, while the entire population of tnc territory is put at 2o7,it05 by the executivc,and 210, THJ accepting the returns of the various assess-ors; the increase over 1S'.0 is given as 2S5T ou the assessors" returns.

Acres of land under cultivation, 374,340; under irrigation, 310,750; under enclosure for pasturage, The report again refers to unocoupied lands in the territory about 31,000.00i acres. Their condition is a matter of pub- lic concern aud should receive immediate at-tention; the reclamation of the arid lands is of equal, if not greater, importance. The amount of land which can now be ir-rigated in Utah is 7a5,22ti acres; the amount whi i, could be irrigated if the necessary work was done to increase the water sup-ply is about 2,:t4,iN)0 acres. It is riovr very plain that unless some artificial methods be employed the limit of cultiva- tion will soon be reached. "During the past year," continues the report, "tho people of the west have given the problem of reclaiming the arable arid lands of tho :serious consideration. It seems that if the growth of the west is to depend upon tho settlement of the public lands there must be some provision made to enable settlers t. obtain water for cultivation at reasonable expense. There is but a small quantity o land now left, and in only few localities, for w hich water can be obtained w ithout Teat expense. The drift of Tmblic oninion ha been unmistakably in favor of the cession of the public lands, excepting the mineral lands, to the states and territories for tho purpose of developing the water supply, and in aid of the public schools." The work of the irrigation congress is dealt with at much length. Public buildings for Salt Lake and Ogden are recommended; the penitentiary, indus-trial home, Deseret university, reform school and agricultural college are referred. The removal of the Colorado Utes to Utah, is vigorously opposed. A statement on the mining industry shows the value of the output in silver, gold, cop-per and lead; the effect of silver legislation, is cited, the coal and iron interests' receive "'X11?'011 88 do tu structural mate rials. t .. 1 schools are --."yifi;' p lrn'i churches are" dealt with.

The division on partv lines is reviewed from the hour of its inception at Ogden, the deelisration of principles is included 'and statehood taken up. Upon this latter tea report concludes as follows: "Of course every territory ought to be ad- mitted into the union as soon as possibi'j consistent with the welfare and needs of tho people. The territorial system is contrary to the principles upon which our govern- ment was established. It denies to the peo-ple who live under it any voice in the affairs of the general government, but statehood should never come until all the conditions which arc necessary to build up a great ami patriotic commonwealth arc perfectly ful- filled." Referring fo the Utah Commission the re-port says it is stated that at the approaching-sessio- of congress an effort will be mad? abolish it.

An unusually from all parts of the leavy vote is reported state. 4fter 9 o'clock the voting became slower and at noon it was the opinion of the leaders of both parties that the number of votes cast up to that hour was considerably less than In previous elections. Business is suspended in nearly all parts of the city. During the mcrning everything proceeded quietly and no disturbances were l jL,cted. nothing is yet known p m. Of course as to the result of today's elect ion, but at this hour the workers are gathered at Tam-many hall on Fourteenth street, and appear to be most cheerful, and confidently assert that Flower has carried this city by 100,000, aud will have 60,000 majority in the whole state. The republi-cans, however, claim that Fassett will be elected by 17,000. The reports received at the police headquarters from every election precinct in the city show the voting this afternoon very heavy and that almost every person registered put his vote in before the polls closed. Buffalo, Nov. 3. A very heavy vote is beiug polled in this city, and the republi-cans are confident of carrying Buffalo aud Erie county. The vote on the city ticket will probably be close. Sheehan is running considerably behind Flower in most of the wards. " Tkot, N. Y., Nov. 3. Beautiful day; large p5 V quiet election; most of the votes polled " V noon.

The AV eatber Raw and Cloudy, Rut Will Q Materially Affect the Vote. Des Moines, Xot. 3. Tne interest taken in irte election here is intense. The weather is raw and cloudy. Slight rains arereported in the southwestern part of the state, but it will not materially affect the vote. In the farming communities the rain will probably increase the vote, as it will give the men an excise to leave their corn fields. Telegrams received by the republican and democratic committees show that an un-usually large vote is being polled. This is true of the country districts as well as of the cities. Both committees claim gains iu the cities. The democrats especially assert that they will elect their whole .ticket, bas-ing their indications on the gains they are reported to be making iu the cities. The republicans are confident they will hold their own in the cities and roll up overwhelming majorities in the country districts, where the prohibition sentiment is strong. The republicans are very confident about the legislature. Re-ports received from close senatorial districts seem to be especially cheering to them. The people's party vote in Polk county is going to be lighter than anticipated, and re-ports from outside counties indicate that the same will be true in the state generally. The prohibition party vote will be the light-est ever known since the organization of the party. The weather continues cloudy and threatening. HEALY PUBLICLY HOKSEWHIFPED.

Sr. Petersburg, Nov. 3. Smith, United States minister to Russia, gave a brilliant dinner last night in honor of Destruve, the Russian minister to the United States, who is about to return to Washington, and Clark Carr, United States minister to Denmark, who has corne to St. Petersburg on a visit. . RAILROAD yOTES. A Car of Ore From the Red Jacket Mine Over the Rio Grande Western. A car arrived at the Mingo smelter today over the Rio Grande Western containing the first (shipment of ore from the Red Jacket mine in La Plata district. This was the shipment over which such a demonstration was made yesterday by the people of Ogden. The car presented a striking effect. It was decorated with rhigs and bore a streamer on each side inscribed: ''First car of ore from La Plata via Ogden." The shipment amounted to twenty-liv- e tons. Train No. 1, the new fast flyer over the Rio Grande Western, was half au hoar late today. The annual conclave of the Knights Tem-plar will be held in Denver next August. As the knights w anted to come to Zion and take a bath in the lake the Union Pacific in-duced the Colorado and Utah Traffic associa-tion to make them a rate of one fare for the round trip between Denver and Salt Lake and Ogden. Special rates have been made by the Union Paaitic for Gilmore's concerts. These will apply to all poinsts as far south as Mt. Pleasant and north to Helena and Butte City. R. C. Bliss, special passenger agent of the Erie, with headquarters at Chicago, is in the city. W. M. Brown, assistant general freight ager.t of the Rio Grande Western, went south over that road today. His trip will consume two or three days. SOUTH DAKOTA REPUBLICAN. Local Causes Have However Resulted in a Rather Light Vote. St. Paul, Nov. 3. Chiefly o account of the large number of men engaged in threfh-in- g wheat in South Dakota, the vote in that state is light. A great deal of "paring" has been done by these men but it is doubtful whether that fact will affect the general result. County commissioners are being voted for besides a congressman to rill the vacancy caused by the death of James E. Gamble. The weather so far as reported is fair. Both republicans and independents claim to be getting the most votes, but the vote seems to be the more favorable to formea. Yaxktcx, S. D., Nov. 3. The weather is cloudy but w arm. The election is very quiet under the Australian system. Jolly, repub-lican, for congress, is receiving a good vote here; Woods, democrat, second, and Smith, independent, third . r A ONE-SIDE- CONTEST. Baltimore, Nov. 3. Every elective ofli--ee- r in Maryland from governor down is be-ing voted for. All parties concede the elec-tion of Frank Brown, democrat, lor gov-ernor. The best that even the sponsors for his opponent. Van Nort, republican, ever claimed was that he would reduce the demo-cratic majority. Fifteen thousand majority is claimed for Brown. The election of Brown by a larsre majority is interpreted to nieau the election of the entire democratic state ticket. The lagislature is regarded as surely safe for the of United States Senator Gorman. In such event a democrat will succeed Senator Wilson, who died shortly before the adjournment of the last congress. v THE OUTLOOK IN IOWA. Des Moines, la., Nov. 3. The most ex-in- g off-ye- campaign in the history of Iowa closed last night. Four parties have candidates in the field. Horace Boies the present incumbent, is the Democratic candi-date for governor, Hiram C. Wheeler the re. publican, A. J. Westfall the people's and Isaac Gibson the prohibition. The three salient issues have been temper-ance, tariff and silver. The democrats de-nounced the preserrt prohibitory laws, favor-ing local option with a license of $500; de-nounced the MeKinley bill and declared for the'free coinage of silver. The republicans endorsed the prohibitory law; denounced the democrats for obstructing its enforcement commended the tariff legislation of the last congress, and met the silver question by merely approving the present coinage act aa the exponent out of which may ultimately come a wise adjustment of the financial" question. Upon these questions the battle has bee( fought, the saloon question being the para mount issue. The result is difficult to pr$ diet, because of the interminglins of stat and national issues and the many discordaif elements that enter into the campaign. Trf republicans are divided on the prohibitia question; the democrats are divided on q silver question; so that on the tariff questiq aloue have the party lines been at all tear iously drawn. j Upon one conclusion all parties are unit V there will be a fall vote. The fact that i f next legislature will redistrict the slate ad greatly" in interest, both parties rraki' strenuous attempts to capture the gene; assembly, as well as elect the stae otlictj Ths republicans are confident that they t get the support of thousands of prohibitum ists and claim s great majority of the uin "Ti pe.ndent" republicans have gone back to r barty. This claim is doubtless correct, a s equally so the democratic claim that th( ands of German republicans, and the liq p interest generally, will support the de r cratic ticket. 'I A very uncertain fact is the vote for We r fall, the candidate of the people's party. IfJ claims that he will poll at least 40,000 vo'if; Gene.-a- l Weaver 6ays he will get 25,000, Blt the republicans and democrats do not cJ1 cede Westfall over 15,000. There will col"3 in about equal nnmtrs from both tne UT" ing par ties. The prohibitionists are not Is" peeted to poll over 1000 or 2000 votes. V Chairman March of the republican 8tle central committee estimates that Whee'r will have a plurality of at least 12,000. "'le republicans of Iowa," said he, "will tT-- , tainly lead the whole state ticket by a hall' some majority. The next house v 11 bojmt publican by a fair morv and fr-- prlj i tee placed the probable democratic plural f ly at from 11,000 to 13,000, based on r'cpo-.'lrt-most conservative.

Acting as ushers were six young gentlemen from Philadelphia al!, members of the famous Pnrladelphia cavalry organization known as the city troop. An Insult to Dillon. Dublin, Nov. 3. The municipal council of Drogheda rejected the motion to present an address to John Dillon. At a meeting of the municipal council of Waterford, the mayor refused to put a mo-- I iion that the council present an' address to Dillon and O'Brien. THE OLD KEYSTONE STATE. A Full Vote Being: Polled "Which Means a Big Republican Victory. Pittsbukg, Nov. 3. The election is pro-ceeding quietly. It is a bright day, bringing out a much larsrer vote than was anticipated, and the indications are that a full ote will be polled. The peculiarity of the fight lies in the fact that the two old established polit-ical parties which are generally bitterly op-posed to each other are working together, hand in hand for the state ticket against the new movement known as the "Straight Outs " Philadelphia, Nov. 3. The weather throughout the state is bright and cool and there is thus every inducement for a big off year vote. The city treasuryship fight is bringing out a large vote-in- , this city. THE ELECTION IN NEW JERSEY. New Jersey, N. J., Nov. 3. State senators are elected in the seven counties. They will Tote forhe successor to United States Sena-tor BlodgVirnocrat. Four of these coun-ties are always Cemocratic. The republicans hcp.' to $irry tbi other three. Next assem-bly they expectto gain at least two mem-bers. They alo hope to regain several members in dis-ict- s which went democratic unexpectedly l.-,-t year. The next assembly will probably Itand thirty-eigh- t to thirty-thre- e in favor i the democrats. Allen L. McDermott, chVuman of the democratic state committee, is confident of electing all seven of the senators, which would make the senate sixteen democrats and live republi- cans. . I this state is for the purpose of electing an cn:ire house of delegates and half of the senate. No state question is involved. The republicans as a party have refrained from placing candidates in the field ; though here and there a republican or independent may be found. The democratic candidates in the main ire alliance men, and while some were nominated for that reason others were not. It is sife to say that the democrats will carry at least seventy counties in the state and a majority of the senatorial districts, hut a majority of those so elected will probably be in sympathy with the alliance.

Flov. tir, the dem-ocratic candidate fur rifiy , Li'lJ"-rit''if'',- r- Lttle prominence has been given to state is-sues, save in the bandying of words over the failure of the census bill, and the consequent of the state, by reason of a dis-agreement as to its terms betw een tqe gov- ernor and the republican majority in the state senate. Both parties profess confidence of victory. Republicans base strong hopes of success on the healing of the breach between the Piatt and Warner Miller forces; and an entire harmony in the party. Warner Miller, in proof of his reconciliation, has spoken in warm praise of the republican candidates, and Andrew D. White has shown that he cherishes no grudge because the guberna-torial nomination did not fall to him. As if to disprove the long asserted un-friendliness between Governor Hill and Grover Cleveland, these two statesman have been called upon to speak from the same platform and responded, giving no evidence of a lack of cordiality. Cleveland has given the controversy what little color it received. He insisted upon the absolute necessity of holding New York iu the Democratic column this year for the sake of the effect on the party in the approaching national contest. Governor Hill made many speeches, vigor-ously defending the democratic regime, crit-icising Fassett's record as senator, and prophesying dire evils to the commonw ealth should "Plattism" triumph. Piatt predicts a majority of 17,000 for Fassett. Other prominent leaders make predictions of 5000 to 20,(t00. The democratic leaders even more confidently predict Flower's election by a plurality of 12,000 to 60,000. Batting on the result has been very quiet here; slight odds have been given in favor of Flower." The-senat- and assembly are also to be elected, and both parties are making a tierce fight for control. The senate has "fifty-tw- o members. Of the present body twenty-nin- e are republicans. To create a tie, and thus give the lieutenant-governo- r the casting vote, the democrats must make a net gain of three. A democratic victory would be in-complete without a democratic senate to confirm the appointments made by the gov-ernor, as the republican majority for years refused to confirm the democratic nomina-tiou- s to certain offices now tilled bv reDub- - licans, whose terms expired years ago. But the prospects are not flattering for changes in the political majority in the sen-ate, and the republicans are confident of gaining one seat now held by the democrats. The assembly now stands sixty-eigh- t to sixty in favor of the democrats. They ex-pect to retain control of this branch, but there are several districts which last year returned democrats and which are likely to elect republicans this year. So the demo-crats must make a gain of new seats to hold their own. An additional reason for making an active canvass for members of the legis-lature is that the present senate will vote for a United States senator in 1S93 to succeed Hiscock. .4 BRUTAL ASSAULT. A Family Quarrel Leads to a Murderous Riot This Afternoon. A long-standin- g feud between the families of W. H. Dunlap and one Tester, a tall, raw-bone- d and sinewy fellow, residing in the region of the Utah &, Nevada railway depot, broke forth in a riotous war about 1 o'clock this afternoon and principals p.nd confeder-ates were dragged, before Commissioner Norrell. It was almost impossible to reach, full particulars. The - deputy who bad - etirufchi - the " "Z finding that the principal who sat nursing an eye that was about ready to drop from its bloody socket had consented to tell his dramatic story, the much excited deputy shut him up with a peremptory order. It was finally learned, however, that Dun-la- p and Tester met in the alley where the quarrel was renewed, and the latter resort-ing to some deadly instrument dealt a mur-derous blow that reveals its trail in a cut some inches long under Dunlap's left eye. Dunlap states that the attack was "unpro-voked while those w ho w itnessed the mur-derous attack condemn it as most brutal. The examination will take place before Commissioner Norrell and if the charges are sustained Tester should land in the bowels of the penitentiary. Sailors Drowned. I Lon-don--, Nov. 3. A dispatch from Port-land says that a boat belonging to II. M. Showe capsized drowning the sailors. . . The Australian System Causes a Light Vote The Religious Qi"stion in Omaha. Omaha, Nov. 3. The electiou is pro-gressing very slowly, owing to the Aus-tralian system, which is being used for the first time. It requires from six to ten min-utes for voters to prepare their ballots. As a consequence, the vote will probably be light. Reports received up to noon indi. cate that the republican state ticket is in the lead. The religious question is playing a lead-ing role in the municipal contest, the Catho-lic forces being pitted against the anti-Catho- lic American Protective association. ' MEN TO HANDLE MILLIONS. Chicago, Nov. 3. A close and exciting election with the first trial of the new Aus-tralian election law is in progress in this city and county today. The maiu interest turns on the choice of three drainage trustees, who will have the handling of some $30,000,000, to be expended in making a canal from Chi-cago to a connection with the Illinois river for the purpose, primarily, of disposing of the city sewage, but with an ultimate use for commercial purposes. There are four tick-ets in the field, republican, democratic, pro- hibition and labor. The outcome cannot be predicted. THE CONTEST IN COLORADO. A Big vote Being Polled in all Parts of the State. Denver. Nov. 3. The weather is cool and cloudy, and from the present indications the vote polled in this city will be very heavy. Reports from the outside towns are to the effect that unusual interest, is being taken in the election, the Australian system being tried today for the first time. Everything so far has gone smoothly. THE 3HVERICK BASK FAILURE. Depositors Will Probably Receive lO Cents on the Dollar. Boston, Nov. 3. Asa P. Potter, president of the embarrassed Maverick National bauk, today says the loss of the Maverick Na-tional bank on account of its dealings with Iruing A. Evans will be about ?200,0o0. If collateral could be judiciously disposed of, the bank's dealings with Evans could in no sense be considered a direct cause of the suspension. Potter declared the real cause of the failure is somew hat complicated. He says the clearing house committees who examined the assets of the bank placed their value far below what they were worth, thus showing a large deficit. 11c added: "Were I allowed to wind up the affairs of the Maverick National bank, no depositor and no stockholder would lose one dollar. All the facts about the bank's condition and about itsmauagement w ill officially be mad", known in the course of time." Pending that, I am content to await the outcome of events." Thomas N. Hart, one of Potter's assignees, expressed the opinion today that no'other banks would be affected by the failure of the Maverick. At 2 o'clock the situation was this: Potter had not been arraigned; French had just been brought into court; Dana had served a continuance of his case; his bail had been reduced from S7o,000 to $6000, and C. A. Brownell had became his oondsman. Boston, Nov. 3. Members of the commit-tee of the associatee banks express the opin-ion that the depositors of the Maverick Na-tional bank will ultimately receive a divi-dend amounting to about seventy tents on the dollar. FIGHTING THE ALLIANCE IN KANsAs. TorEKA, Kan., Oct. 3. The election In Kansas is not fraught with the general int-erest that politics in the mercurial stale usually inspires. Not only is it an otT-yei- lr election, but an election where there is nilt even to be chosen a single state officer. Yilt it must not be understood that it is withoulp interest within the state. It has been On V. of the most hotly contested off-ye- camJ paigns ever witnessed in Kansas. Both of he leading parties arc making a determined effort to break the strength and stunt the growth of the farmers' alliance or people's party. . Particularly is this true of the republican! party: but in some localities the democrats, j as a minority party, have thought it ex-- l pedient to effect fusions with the farmers' I party. With the exception of nine district judges the campaign is purely local, con-fined to the election of county officers. Bu u both the state central committees have beea daily sending out a score of speakers into ; every nook and corner of the state. The republicans feel that it is a question of supreme importance that they should carry many of the county elections, and thus say to the east and the entire nation that the state of Kansas is once more safely in the republican ranks. The democrats naturally are not aiparticularly anxious as the republicans in tfie consummation of their wishes in this respect, and, probably for this reason, the democratic state central com-mittee, at a recent meeting, gave a quasi-endorseme- nt to the various local fusions with the peoples' party. This action of the committee, however, has been repudiated by many leading democrats and several of the most prominent party organs. Particular interest in this election, there-fore, is felt in the strength that will be by the people's party, the party that sw ept the state a year ago and that hopes to deliver the vote 6f the state for the third party presidential candidate in the electoral college next year. . HE DIED IS JAIL. End of a Chequered Career An Incorrig-ible Njmph's riea. A. S. Warden, alias Waters, made his at police headquarters last even-ing and asked to be permitted to lodge there. He was given the hospitalities of the bunk house, aud later the cook asked him to have a cup of coffee. This was de-clined, and turning in he fell asleep. This morning he was found dead upon the flour. The coroner was notified and began an in-quest, which was adjourned until 4 o'clock this afternoon pending an autopsy. De-ceased was a bookkeeper and had been ad-dicted to the use of intoxicants for many years. Gertie Clark, arrested in the recent round-up, was fined and in default of the amount was placed in jail. She was redeemed by a fallen sister and sought refuge in a house of Her mother came upon the scene and secured her arrest on a charge, of incor-rigibility. She pleaded guilty today and was sent to Judge Zane for further orders iu her case. The monthly report of the police court completed this afternoon by Clerk Glenn, shows revences from that source amounting to 3161. THE MISSISSIPPI ELECTION. Jackso-x- , Miss., Nov. 3.

It appears grerter number of votes for straight party ticker. Reports from various parts of the itate all indicate au unusually full vote early 'in the day. , In the afternoon a light fall of snow and raiu astonished everybody. It was not suffi-rie-to have any effect on the voting. The general opinion at this hour (2:30 p. m. ) is that the new law disfranchises very fe voters and that its operations produces the most peaceful election ever witnessed in Cincinnati. There is no accurate method of knowing -- 7mt the record in the ballot boxes is, but the republicans still cling w ith confidence to tbeir claim of an overwhelming plurality in Hamilton county. There, was more blanking i the judicial ticket than anywhere else. Ci.evi: i.AXi Nov. 3 This is au ideal elec-- t on-rta- weather, being overcast, but too t wl for rain.
