NEW York, Sept. i6. SO clamorous have
become the demands for.-,mal bills from
banks in this city that Monday it was de-

These amounts were Immediately sent south
TO nelp move the cotton crop
The banks still insist that they are very
short Of small bills and that if they do not
receive more assistance from the govern
ment they will have to resort TO their gold
reserve. 1t is believed that Treasurer Jor-

HEAVY REPUBLICAN LOSS AT DAN.

Negroes Voting the Democratic Tick ct
Republicans Charge Sharp Practices
on the Democrats.

Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
DANvILLE, VA, Nov. 3.-Danvile, located
about one hundred and fifty miles south of
Richmond, and made famous by the riot of
two years ago, is to-day having an entirely
peaceful election. The negro population in both
city and county is very large, and the voting
power of both parties nearly 5000.
At two o'clock there are strong probabilities
of severe loss to the republicans on the vote of
last year. The party is without any commit
tee or other visible organization and no repub-
lican speaker has visited it during the cam
paign. The democrats are thoroughly equipped
and besides ordinary electioneering agencies
have a number of canvassers on horseback. 1t
is certain that considerable number of
negroes have already voted their ticket,
and also tina, that I. large number will
precinct near the city where there about
four4undrei cOlOred and seventy-five white
voters no poll had been placed up to o'clock,
the judges having refused to pay the price de-
manded tor use of the place. The republicans
charge it to intentional obstruction. The city
and county elect three members of the legisla-
ture. Col. Sims is one of the republican candi-
dates. Weather lovely, and the democrats say
it will be worth 5000 votes 10 their party in
the state.
kilograms at democratic headquarters from
colored strongholds in halifax and other coun-
ties close to Danvile report negroes voting
freely the democratic ticket.

Lively Times Between Indians and

BUsTAMENTK, MEXICO, Nov. 3.-The Indians
retreated TO the mountain canons, a few miles
distant, Sunday, and made all arrangements
for an attack on the town last night. Col
Cisneros, with his command OF state troops,
arrived at noon and at once set out to attack
the Indians They did not give him battle, but
fled in all directions. He succeeded I'm captur-
ing four of the Indians. One OF the captives
admitted that they caught white man early

Early Friday morning they captured the court

Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
RICHMOND, VA, Nov. 3.-I.ast nights consul
tations and preparations for to-days election
terminated with increased hope and expecta-
ton among the democrats, and with a slightly
diminished hope among the republicans. This
feeling applies to both the state ticket and the
legislature. News received by republicans,
greatly changing their expectations AS to the
vote in the Norfolk and Petersburg congress
sional districts, checked the growing confidence
of a few days past in Wise's election. On the
other hand the democrats were not encouraged
by reports from the southwest. Democrats ex-
pect great changes in portions of the black belt,
especially in the counties of Charlotte, Meek
lenburg, Halifax and Pittsylvania and freely
admit that they are benefited by Gen. Mahone's
neglect of those largely colored counties in order
that he might the more literally and success
fully look after the doubtful count les where the
use OF the sinews of political warfare would pro-
mote the capture OF the legislature. His in
Inmates profess hope OF " ise's election and ad-
here TO the claim of fffty-seven members of the
house of delegates and enough senators to give
them the legislature Oh joint ballot. Cautious
democrats believe that they will have fifty
which with their certain control of the senate
would make them masters of the Legislature by
comfortable majority. Chairman Barbour
confidence is quite as strong as Gen. MahOne's
on the other side. Gen. Lees confidence in his
election is absolute, and he counts upon his
election by \ very much larger majority than
his friends expect Mr.. Wise merely repeats
the hopeful expectations which he has eX-
pressed to his friends for a fortnight past. 1t is
a sufficiently accurate statement of the situa-
democrats will probably elect both their state
ticket and carry the legislature.

FEEDING THE ARMY.
Report Of COmmissary General Mac.
feely.

The annual report of Commissary General
Macfeely to the Secretary of War shows that
the total amount to the credit of the subsistence
department tor the fiscal year ending June 80
1885, was S4,O43, 1913, the total expendi
lures $3.O51 1885, and the amount ON hand
at the end of the year 1901, 3657S. The ave-
rage contract price per pound for fresh beef for
the supply of the army in the various states
and territories was for 1885, ten and twenty
four hundredtbs cents, and for 1886, nine and
fifteen hundredths cents. The value of SUBJ
sistence supplies issued to the Indians during
the year was SAL ,526.33. S2O,955.4O was the
amount of extra duty pay of enlisted men de-
at posts, being an increase of $7,77S.4O over
the previous year, due to the increased rate per
day authorized by act of Congress OF July 5,
1884. For advertising tor proposals. &c, 81 1896
was expended, being an increase of So, 165.43
over the previous year.
Losses in transportation were reported, for
which no one was found responsible, and by
ssasoas Geing saSs4sa e. ess na tSan Iosses
lost in transportation and responsibility liked
amounting to $SS5.76. The value of supplies
lost by theft. death, &C., was $245.S4. Stores
$13,675.15. From such as were sold there
was realized $l,923.22, leaving net loss of
sll,75 81 93, being decrease over the previous
$35, 562.O3 for the subsistence of recruiting
parties and recruits at rendezvous, the number

average cost per ration 5O.6752 cents, an in.
crease of .9447 of q cent over the cost OF the
previous year.
Gen. Macfeely urgently invites attention to
the importance of providing by law for the en-
listment of cooks aud bakers for the army, for
preserving the health and promoting the COM
fort and efficiency of the troops. One cook to
each company, troop and battery and to each of
the three general depots for recruits. and q
baker to each garrisoned post, would be all that
would be needed. At the commencement of
the year there were on file 1921 claims for
communication ofratiOns to Union soldiers while
held as prisoners of war, and during the year
1,1O7 claims were received, making q total Of
2,42S claims; 715 were rejected, and 726,
amounting to $1S,27l.25, were allowed and re-
commended to the third auditor for payment.
Gen. Macfeely recommends that existing
orders limiting the number of cOmmissary SER
geants to 100 be revoked, SO that 1t may be
practicable to have q sergeant at each military
post or place of deposit OF supplies
