IT WAS a MISTAKE.
Union Pacific Officials Issue a
Blundering Circular.

CHICAGO, Nov. Sit is announced
to-day that the circular issued Saturday
By the Union Pacific, excluding all lines
east of the Missouri river except the
Chicago & Northwestern from partici-
patton in joint billing arrangements,
with that road, was mistake. The cir
cular bore the signature of A. S. Vanku-
ran, the freight auditor of the company,
and stated explicitly that the withdraw
al of the joint tariffs on through buSi-
ness would apply to all lines connecting
with the Union Pacific at Kansas City,
st. Joseph. Omaha and Sioux City, eX-
cepting only the Chicago & Northwest
ern and the Chicago, st. Paul, Mime
apolis & Omaha. A traffic official OF
the Union Pacific was in this city to-
day, explaining to the managers of the
Southwestern and Sioux City roads that
the circular had been issued under mis-
apprehension and did not mean what it
said. 1t was not the intention to dis
continue pro rating arrangements with
any of the roads except those compet-
ing with the Chicago IL Northwestern
at Council Bluffs and Omaha. Who is
responsible for the blunder does not
appear, but an amended notice has al
ready been issued to the agents of the
Union Pacific inStructing them to con-
tinue billing freight on the present
basis of divisions by way of Kansas
City, st. Joseph and Sioux City. The
situation, therefore, remains unchanged
at those gateways, and the only rupture
is between the Union Pacific, on one
side, and the Burlington, the Rock
Island and the Chicago, Milwaukee tS

present incumbent, is the nominee for
the court of appeals judgeship on both
the Republican and Democratic tickets.
AS this is the only Office to be filed on

any interest in the general vote. The

delegation In the Fifty-irst congress
consists of nineteen Republicans and
fifteen Democrats. The Democrats are
hopeful of making some gains, but the
republicans are equally confident that
they will hold their own if not increase
their number. The state senate holds

the Republicans had seveuty-one and

Much more popular interest attaches to

MUCH MINED IN KANSAS.
Farmers and Resubmissionists
Cut q Large Figure.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. 3.-Kansas
has become historical as a state of sud-
den political movements, and the ques-
ton which is agitating its population
this fall is whether the Farmers AL
lance. the Republican party, the Demo-
cratic. Resubmission party, or a COM
binatlon OF either two. is to assume
political control after Tuesdays cleo
ton. There are to be elected a governor
and full list of state officers, seven CON
greSsmen and legislature that will
choose a successor to Senator ingalls, in
the United States senate. The Farmers
Alliance aud the Resubmission parties
have both come into prominence within
the last eight months. The former
party is well organized and aggres-
Sive with an enrolment of l30. 600
members, and acknowledges its pres
ent chief ambition to be the
retirement of John j. ingalls, from the
United States senate. The Resubmis-
sion party is a combination of hitherto
heterogeneous elements, whose basis Of
union is opposition to prohibition. Its
recruits are from both the Democratic
and Republican parties, and its shib-
boleth the repeal of the prohibitory law.
The Republican Resubmissionists are
those who have left their old party be-
cause of the fact that the national Re-
publican party and the Kansas Repub-
lican party are at variance on the LIQUOR
law. The ResubmiSsIon and Demo:
cratic parties have fused in their nomi-
nation of state ticket, declaring that
the people of the state should have an
opportunity for an expression upon the
question. Thus there are three full
state tickets in the feld-the Re-
publican, the Farmers Alliance
and the tic-Resubmission.
Each will poll an immense vote, and
the successful party, which ever it may
be, will probably have plurality of
less than $4,000 The Farmers Alliance
Observation-Disclosures parties
are generally opposed to the reelection
of Senator ingalls,. The great Kansas
senator has become the paramountissue
in his state. and party principles have
sunk into insignifcance with many of
the voters. ingalls, has made an active
campaign aud laughs at the possibility
of Republican defeat. The congressional
fight is somewhat lost from sight In the
prominence Of state issues. The Re-
publicans claim the entire seven CON
gressmen from Kansas, but the Demo-
Gratis express hopes of electing two or
three in the strongest Alliance districts.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 3.-There
is much uncertainty as to the result of
to-morrow'S election in lndiana-eyen
( more than usual. The effect of the new
plan of voting-the Australian system
is something which political leaders con-
fess themselves unable to foretell. An
other feature of uncertainty is the effect
OF the farmers movement, which is in
some sections quite formidable. OF the
thirteen congressman, the Democrats
now have ten. There are four districts
which are reasonably IN doubt. In the
First district, Congressman ParrOtt,
Democrat, was elected two years ago by
9 narrow majority. In the Second, a
Democrat is running on the Farmers
ticket against the regular nominee, and
the Republican may get in. In the
Firth, Congressman Cooper, Democrat,
Aas narrows majority. and Congress
man Brookshire, Democrat, in the
Fourth, is i'll the same boat. In regard

neither Chairman Jewett, of the Dem
Ocratic committee, nor Chairman Mich
ener, of the Republican committee, will
give any estimate as TO majority.
Chairman Jewett said to nn Associated
Press reporter this evening: II am not in

eleven congressman, the entire state ticket

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 3.-The election
in this state tomorrow promises to be
the closest and most hohy contested in
its history. The situation can fairly be
termed uncertain. Four tickets are in
the field, and of those the Republicans
and the Farmers Alliance both claim
the victory. At the Republican state

city. Chairman Watson claims the cleo
ton of the entire state ticket by plural
tiles ranging from 5000 to 1900. No
direct expressions of opinions or eSti-
mate can be gained from the
Democrats or Alliance committees
other than the claim of success
for their respective tickets, with the eX-
ceptiOn of the Second district, where
the Democrats and Alliance men have
fused. There are three tickets in the
congressional istricts. Chairman Wat
son claims pluralities for the Repub-
lican candidates as follows. on poll of
each district: Connell in the Frst, 1000;
Harland in the Second, 1,500; Dorsey in
the Third, 1900. The resu on the pro-
hibitory amendment is also in doubt,
the general feeling appearing to be that
it will be defeated.
LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 3.-The amend
ment will cause great deal OF scratch
ing and greatly complicate the result.
l.. ID. Richards, the Republican candi-
date, and John III. Powers, the Alli-
ance candidate for governor, are non
committal, while James E. Boyd, the
Democratic, is strongly opposed to the
amendment. The Alliance will un-
doubtedly elect a majority of the lower
house of the legislature and perhaps of
the senate.

gan governor and full state ticket,
eleven congressman and legislature
are to be chosen at to-morrow's election.
Michigan is state Of fusion tickets, but
this year there has been departure
from the usual tactics, and no less
than four full state tickets are in the
field-the Republican, the Democratic,
the Industrial and the Prohibition. Hon.
James Nj. Turner is the Republican
candidate for governor. and Hon. E. B.
WlnanS is the Democratic candidate.
The Democrats have made an agress-
I've fight against Turner, and will
probably reduce considerably the
usual Republican plurality on the
party is combination of what would
be III other states the Union Labor and
Farmers Alliance, but its independent
course in nominating a full state ticket
prevents it from doing other than re-
duclng somewhat the vote of the two
predominant parties. Considerable in
terest ceEterS in the congressional con-
tests in close districts. Congressman
Burrows. of the Kalamazoo district. is
this year opposed by his old Democratic
competitor, eX-COngressman Yaple, who
once defeated Burrows in this district.
Both parties are hopeful. but Burrows
will probably be reelected. In

the doubtful districts of the state, Capt.
Q. W. Watkins is the Republican can

the Democratic candidate. Both men
are personally popular and in this dis

result is hard to predict. In the Sew
enth district, the Republicans hope to
gain congressman by defeating Con-
greeman Whiting, who has been re-
nominated by the Democrats, but the
Democrats are just as hopeful that they
will'not only hold this district, but gain
congressman in the Tenth district.

There is no point in the state at which

known. Even the Republicans estimate
that the blunder will give him 1000

QUAYISNI OR PURE POLITICS,
That Is the Issue in the keystone
State.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 3.-The most
active campaign in Pennsylvania for
several years ended tonight. A most
thorough canvass of the state has been
made by the two leading parties, in
which the Republican and Democratic
candidates for -Messrs. Della
mater and Pattison-have personally
taken an active part, each having adj
dressed meetings in almost every
county. The Prohibition and Labor
parties both have full state tickets in
the field, but neither has shown much
activity i'll the campaign, and very few
Labor OF Prohibition meetings have
been held. The state officers to be
chosen are governor, lieutenant govern
or and secretary Of internal affairs.
These officers are to serve four years.
The tickets in the field are as follows:
Republican-George W. Delamater for gov
ernor, Louis A. Watres for lieutenant gov
ernor. and Thomas j. Stewart for secretary
of internal affairs.
Democratic-Robert f. Pattison for gov
ernor, Chauncey +. Black for lieutenant gov
ernor, William ii. Barclay for secretary of
internal affairs.
Prohibition-John D, Gill for governor,
Charles E. Hyatt for lieutenant governor,
William L. Dunn for secretary of internal
affairs.
Labor-Thomas p. Rynder for governor,
Justus Watkins for lieutenant governor,
Henry K. Phillips for secretary of internal
affairs.

elected governor by plurality of A.
651. The full vote was: Beaver, 412,-
2S5; Black, Dem., 369,634; Wolfe, Pro,
81, 45S: Houston, Labor, 4,S35. In 1882
l'attiSOn, the present Democratic candi-
date, was elected governor through
split in the Republican party, an Inde-
peudentcandidate having been placed in
the field. The full vote in that year
was:

3l5,5S9; Stewart. Ind. Rep, 43.74S; Arm
strong, Greenback Labor, 23,4S4; Petit,

in the twenty-eight districts. The pres
e mt delegation i'll congress consists of
twenty-one Republicans and seven
Democrats. TWenty-SiX members of
the state senate are to be elected, one to

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Nov. 3.-All the
Democratic nominations for the legls-

that those elected tomorrow are to
