STEALING THE ELMIRA DISTRICT.

Elmra n. Y, Nov (Specla)-There is little
doubt tonight that Mr. Noyes Rep) has lost his seat
in the next Congress, and that Mr.. Rockwell (Dem)
will be declared elected by the County Board Of
Canvassers next Tuesday. That it Is of the bold
est steals record is practically admitted by prom
inent Democrats. Admitting all clerical errors in
favor of Mr. Rockwell, Mr. Noyes still has majority
of 16 in the district, instead of 25, claimed for
Rockwell. The county clerks Office is in the hands
of Democrats; the County Board of Canvassers is
largely Democratic; leading lawyers are working to
aid the steal and that they will succeed is barely
questioned tonight One bad feature is the fact
that Elmiras Democratic Mayor and Common Coun-
Gil insisted upon appointing all the inspectors Of cleo
ton in the city, notwithstanding vigorous protest
of Republicans, and they were nearly az Demo-
Gratis and Mugwumps they showed their fitness for
the work Of counting out the Republican candidate
As the steals heretofore referred TO In the several
districts would not count In Rockwell, another was
esored In the fourth election district of the Sixth
Ward, and seventeen votes changed TO Rockwell
The bodness OF the steal can be understood when IL
Is seen that only inspectors Of the class mentioned

A SENATORIAL DEADLOCK IN MASSACHUSETTS.
Boston, Now special).-Assuming that the ne
counts now pettoned for in the With Suffolk and
Id Mddlesex senatorial Districts will result in no
change and that the two Republicans first announced
as elected from these districts take their seats the
political composition of the Massachusetts Senate
of 1901 offers some interesting possibilities With
that body evenly divided between the two political
parties the chances for deadlock are unlimited.
For its organization the Senate requires president
and a clerk and without these 1t can transact no

not be inauguaed until the Senate shall have chosen
its president and until nauguratcd Mr.. Russell can
not exercise any Of the functions of the Office.
