New YORK, Nov. 7.-Betting on the
general result of the Presidential election
at the Hoffman House tonight showed
a change of odds in Harrison's favor.
Two to one continued to be offered on the
chances of Cleveland's victory in the
State. The corridors and cafe of the
hotel appeared to be overrun with Harri-
son men. and Harrison money on the
general result went begging. Michael f.
Dwyer's commissioner, Joe Nerding,
created sepsation by refusing even
money bets on the general result and
offering 5000 to 81, 1000 Harrison money.
On that basis his money was eagerly
taken up in several quarters. but he kept
on offering it in almost any amount.
At the Republican Committee rooms
late this evening Chairman Hackett was
confident that New York State was all
right. He said that Friday last he ex-
pressed the opinion that the Republicans
would come down to Harlem with $4,000
majority. He was even more confident
now. He didn't think the Democrats in
New York, Kings, Queens and Rich
mond Counties would be able to get a
greater majority than in 1888, and thought
Harrison's majority in the State would
be larger than that year.
AT Democratic headquarters the an
nOuncement was made that there had
been an increase in the registration in
New York, Kings, Queens and Rich
mond Counties which should give no less
than $4,000 majority. He does not think
the Republicans will meet this with more
than 80, 600 from the rural districts. There
fore, they expect 10000 plurality for
Cleveland in the State.
Chairman Harrity claims New York,
Indiana, New Jersey, Connecticut, Wis
,onsin, six from Michigan, and fair
probability of Colorado, Illinois and
Iowa
Hon. J. S. Clarkson tonight said all
doubts Of Harrison's election were gone
Last week he classed New York, Con-
necticut, Indiana, Nevada, West Virginia
and Delaware as doubtful States. but to-
d,ly took Indiana and Connecticut out Of
the doubtful column, which gives Harri-
son 252 electoral votes. and elects him
without New York.

INDIANA.
Result in Doubt, Both Parties Claim
ing Triumph.

INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. There is prac-
tically no change III the situation in In
diana. The result is still involved in
doubt, and both sides are claiming the
triumph of their Electoral ticket and
State officers by a good round plurality.
The Peoples party Chairman places the
Populist vote in the State at 49, $40. The
Populists claim fifteen members of the
Legislature, and that they viii hold the
balance of power in that body and die
tate the election of a successor to Senator
Turpie. The Prohibitionsts claim vote
of 5000 in the State, which is probably
5000 in excess of what they will receive.
The Prohibition and Peoples party vote
are quantities that give the situation an
element of great uncertainty.
The comparison of the vote tomorrow
will be based on the vote OF 1890, when
the Democratic State ticket was elected
by $4,000 plurality. There are 2,96g pre-
cincts in the State, and to overcome the
plurality of two years ago the Repub-
licans will have to gain an average of
nearly seven votes to the precinct.

May be More Indian troubles.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 7.-General Miles
passed through here to-day, having COM
pleted his annual inspection ofthe Indian
reservations. General Miles, in an inter
view, stated that the condition of affairs
was satisfactory everywhere, excepting
among the Cheyennes ana Arapanoes.
The latter tribes he expects to go on the
warpath, unless the Government takes
steps Immediately to relieve them from
threatened starvation. Since their reser-
valon was opened to settlement, their
ignorance of agriculture, combined with
the poor character OF the soil, and with
the disinclination of the Indian to work
it, has resulted in bringing them to a con-
dition verging upon starvation.

UTAH.
Three Tickets in the Field for Dele
gate to Congress.


SALT LAKE, Nov. THE only general
ticket in the territory is for delegate to
Congress. Three candidates are in the field
Clarence e. Allen Liberal Republi-
cam, J. L. Rawlins (Democrat) and Frank
j. Cannon Mormon -Republican.) The
Church party has hitherto been the
Peoples party. This year there was a
split, and numbers called themselves
Democrats or Republican, as the case
may be. Both pledge Statehood for Utah.
The Liberals oppose Statehood, and have
made their canvass to that opposition.
They expect to poll about 1900 votes, and
on that vote to say that u tab is not vet
properly prepared to enter the Union.
For a time The tariff was the main de-
batting issue between the church, Repub-
licans and Democrats, but for the past
fortnight the chief effort has been
directed to showing the Mormon rank
and file that their leaders favored Democ-
racy or Repubiicanism in their lifetime.
The past few days of this campaign for
church influence has been embittered by
personalities, the result of all being to
cement the claim of the church Repub-
licans that they will elect their candidate.
who is son Of George @. Cannon. The
Liberals claim the situation to be an indi-
cation of the contention that the church
rules absolutely in Utah, and therefore it
is unfit to be State. The campaign
closed here tonight with joint debate
between Cannon and Rawlins, and by a
grand rally by the Liberals.

TOPEKA (kas.), Nov. THE situation
in Kansas, as far as it has undergone
change since Saturday night, changed
slightly more in favor of the Fusionists
to-day, the Democratic candidate for
Congress in the Fifth District withdraw
ing in favor of the Populist candidate.
Fusion is now accomplished in all the
districts excepting the Sixth. The Chair
man OF the Republican State Committee
claims everything. He says they will,
without doubt, have ma ority of from
ten TO twenty thousand on the State and
National tickets and will elect every Con-
gressional candidate.
The Peoples party men and Fusionists
have even more confidence than the Re-
publlcans. The Chairman of the Popu-
list State Central Committee claims the
election of Llewellyng, candidate for Gov
ernor, by majority of at least IL. 900. and
says Weaver will run ahead of the State
ticket by at least 10000 votes. The FMS
ion between Popuiists and Democrats
has been arranged in nearly eyery Iepis-
lative and Senatorial District in the State
and indications are that the Lerislature
will be Republican, although the Re-
publicans claim they will have major
ity and will elect Senator Perkins to the
United States Senate. The Fusionists. on
the other hand, claim that they will even
have a larger majority than in the last
Legislature, when they elected PETER to
succeed ingalls,.

NEW HAVEN Comm, Nov. Z. = The
Chairmen of both State committees were
interviewed tonight, and Chairman Ben
ton of the Republican Committee said he
expected his party would secure a safe
plurality for both Electoral and State
tickets. He looked for the election of a
Legislature Republican in both branches.
Three out of four Republican candidates
for Congress will be elected, and he will
not be at all surprised if the party made
a clean sweep, insuring full representa-
ton of Republicans in both Houses at
Washington.
Chairman Davis of the Democratic
Committee says he is absolutely certain
the Democratic Electoral ticket in the
State will have plurality of not less than
1000. He said the election of the Gov
ernor will be thrown into the Legislature,
which is in doubt as to political COM
plexion on Joint ballot, and no one could
foreteu the result. The Democrats are
sure of three congressman out Of four.

LONDON, Nov. THE Secretary of the
Amalgamated Association Of Cotton
Spinners estimates that $1,000 persons
will be rendered idle by the combined
strike and lockout i'll the cotton-spinnng
trade which began Saturday. The inn
proved conditions, however, make it
probable that many master spinners will
continue to run their mills, and the num-
Der of the idle may be reduced 10 $4,000.
If this proves correct, the strikers will
probably win, as they have ample funds,
with the help of those at work, to make
long fight.
Mawdsley said tonight that the en-
ployers of the cotton mills that have
Iocked-ouU hands, or where the opera
tives have gone on a strike, are anxious
to avoid the hardships of the struggle

DENVER Coll, Nov. THE political

publican Committee expresses the opin-
ion that the Harrison State and Congress
ional ticket viii be elected by 10000 plu-
rality. This is stoutlv contradicted by
Chairman Mckinley of the Clevelandites,
who recently withdrew their Electors
and adopted the Peoples party ticket.
Mckinley thinks the Weaver Electors
will have a plurality Of from 5000 to
1860.
Chairman Arbuckle of the Weaver
ticket, and a free-coinage Democrat who
fused with the Peoples party, thinks the
entire ticket will be victorious, with the
