General UBrien, one Of the State canvass
Ing board, In aspeech to the Democrats here,
said; II have no fears that the wishes or
Judgment Of the peopls expressed At The bal
lot BOZ Will be falsified or defeated No
party or SET of men can steal the. electoral
vote Of the Empire State. The lawsof the
State In regard to elections and counting
votes are too perfect TO admit fraud. The
people OF New York are too much In earnest

The votes given BY the people Of this State,
have no doubt, will be honestly counted

The Prohibition Vote.

New York, Nov. 6.-The Chicago Daily
Ners has the following: The total Prohibi-
ton vote will aggregate 100000; fonr years
ago II was less than 10000, and II has de-
cldsd the Presidential contest In New Y ork.
Cleveland's majority Is about 1000. The

UNION PACIFIC.
President Adams Statement of the Affairs Of
the Company.

NEW York, Nov. 1.-Charles Francis Ad.
ans, President Of the Union Pacific railroad,
has sent the following communication to
Sidney Dillon, explaining the financial con
dltion Of the Company: During the months
Of July to September, inclusive, we received
just 81 100000 q month net from Omaha.
By net, mean over and above Omaha drafts.
During October We received 81 ,450, 900 and
paid $4,000 on Omaha drafts, leaving us
net 81, 800, 900 for he month. Between now
aud the 1st Of January expect to receive
81, 0O0, 900, 100000 Of which will he neces-
sary to provide for coupons and maturing
obligations which must DO paid of, but am
confident we will have In these two months
81, 500, 900 net TO apply to the floating debt.
I may overestimate in these figures, but do
not think I do. The Pullman notes given
for our share in the contract are reduced
now to 100000. The Company owes US
about $4,000. Meanwhile our accounts at
Omaha are in better condition than they
have been for q long time. No arrears Of
vouchers, and the auditor reports everything
we'll paid up. The reduction Of the earn
ings the past month vas largely due to the
fact Of the changed methods Of keeping &C.
counts. Last year we credited ourselves
with about $4,000 freight paid on coal
used for our own locomotives. or course
we never received this money, and 1t went
into subsequent expenses. This year the
system Of charges In actual and apparent
gross is decreased In so much during Sep.
tember; therefore, We practically received
about 100000 more in money than last year.
l propose to come on to New York next
week and take hold Of the floating debt.
From this time forward the plan Is to reduce
1t steadily, and by every means In our power
until 1t IL extinguished.

QUEBEC, Nov. 6.-The loss by the high
tide last night Is now estimated at s250, 900.
Another high tide again to night, but 1t Is
not expected to be Is damaging as that of
yesterday. Dispatches from various points
along the St. Lawrence state that no such
storm rs that Of last night has occurred for
the past fifty years. So far no lives are re-
ported lost. The Paspebisc fishery estab-
lishment, Robbins & Co. and lie Boutillier
Bros. are considerably damaged. As the
houses along the shore were carried of, so
also were boats, fences, bridges, etc. The
shore is strewn with debris aud household
effects. The suffering Is intense from cold
and hunger. At Islet the damage Is essima-
ted ~ $4,000. All the shops Ia the village

THE REGULAR ARMY.
Lieut.. General Sheridan Recognizes the Dan.
gers of Dynamite.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.--The annual re-.
port of Lieut.. General Sheridan has been
made covering the period from his assign.
ment to the command of the army, Nov. 8.
1885, to Nov. 1, 1884. He says during thI,
time the entire territory under the supervis.
lon Of troops has been unusually free from
collisions resulting In either the loss of life
or property, but the services of the military
in the West cannot b. safely dispensed with
for many years to come. With liberal allow
ances Of ammunition and better facilities
for target practice than hitherto, much
thought and attention has been given 10
rife firing. The high scores attained In the
annual contest for army prizes during the
past season attest most gratifying progress
in this vitality important branch Of military
instruction. The establishment Of . higher
grade Of shArpshooters has developed many
marksmen Of wonderful skill with the rife
In distances up to thousand yards, and It
would now be impossible for close line of
battle to stand up before skirmish line
composed Of our qualified marksmen. The
Lieutenant General expresses great interest
In the national guard Of States, aud thinks
Congress should designate that number Of
men In each State should have and provide
for them arms and camp and garrison equip
age under some wise method OF accounta.
bility for this property. Whenever State
governments themselves appropriate sub
stantial sums Of money for the support OF
their respective military In such q manner
that these sums cannot be affected by party
legislation, excepting for our ocean com.
merce and for our seaboard cities, he does
not think We should be much alarmed about
the probability OF wars with foreign powers,
since II would require more than q million
and half OF men to make campaign upon
land against us. To transport from beyond
the ocean that number OF soldiers with oil
their munitions Of war, their cavalry, artll-
lery and infantry, even II not molested by
ms while In transit, would demand large
part Of the shipping Of all Europe.
He earnestly invites immediate attention
TO the defenseless condition Of seaboard
cities, AMI earnestly recommends an early
beginning cs general system Of seacost
Notifications to be constructed according TO
requirements demanded by the latest i'm
prsvements in heavy artillery. This will
probably not como upon us II capital and
labor will only be conservative. Still 1t
should be remembered that destructive OK.
plosives are easily made, and that banks,
United States sub-treasuries and public
buildings, and large mercantile houses can
be readily demolished and the commerce Of
entire cities destroyed by Infatuated people
With means carried with perfect safety to
themselves In the pockets Of their clothing"
