The City of London Enveloped in Very
Dense Fog.

The City of London Enveloped in a Very
Dense Fog.
LONDON, Nov 11-Dense fogs have been
prevalent in London for week. At noon
today the atmosphere became thicker than
ever and with the blackness of midnight.
Gas and electric lights were in use every
where, but in the streets their rays were
unable to penetrate the dense mass of va
por. The fog has penetrated the most
tightly closed houses everywhere and
caused q feeling of discomfort. On the
streets pedestrians STUN Dled along, often
unwarily getting bad falls by missing their
footing in the almost zimmerman darkness.
The usual roar of traffic is greatly dimln.
ished, for many careful drayman and others
have refused to allow their horses to be
used, fearing accidents.
Traffic is carried on under great difficult
ties, and it was only by the exercise OF the
greatest care that accidents were not more
numerous, though some serious casualties
ere reported, mostly run overs. The law
less element took advantage OF the occa-
sion and everywhere were active 1t is
utterly impossible for the police to recog-
nize them and the dense fog has rendened
the robbers an easy task. Ia spite of the
precautions of shopkeepers who have
learned much by experience in foggy
weather, sneakthieves have managed to
make many successful coups Several
cases of highway robbery are also re-
ported and in every case the thieves es-
capped under cover of the mantle of the fog.
1t is feared that many fatalities will occur
at tho docks, which are veritable death
traps in such weather.

DETROIT Nov. 12.-Chairman Campau OF
the Democratic state central committee,
says that William Newton, for justice OF
the supreme court; a. A. Ellis. for attor-
ney-general, snd 6. 7. Schaffer, for COM
missioner Of the state land Office, on the
fusion ticket, are elected. The plurality
of Rich Republican, for governor, is any
whore from 5000 to 1900, according to
the claims of the different parties. On this
subject a local paper says: Reports re-
celved this morning from the charmen of
Democratic committees from foriy-three
out OF the eigAty-four counties show the
total vote for Ewing, Populist, for COVER
nor at IL, l65. This vote would wipe out
the Republican plurality, even if it was
what the Republican state committee
claimed, and leave safe majority for the
candidate on both tickets. If the Demo-
cratic committee estimates of the plurality
of Rich over Morse are correct, Ellie,
Newton and Scheffer are elected by more
than 5000 plurality, but Ewing is probably
behind most of his associates on 1he peo-
ple's ticket go the joint vote of both parties
on governor is an exceellnt indication of
what the vole will be on the other offices.

Government

LONDON, Nov. IA representative of
the Associated Press had an interview with
the famous Norwegian explorer, DIR, Nan
sen, in regard to plans for an Arctic voy-
age DR.. Nansen's scheme is essentially
different from plans followed by other ex-
plorers in the northern frozen regions.
He will attempt to ascertain if all nature
has not supplied the means of solving the
difficulty and discover if there is not a
possibility of reaching the north
pole by utilizing certain natural
facilities in the frozen seas of which all
early explorers are ignorant. The circum-
stances upon which these new hopes are
based is connected with the loss of the
Jeanette Exactly three years after she
sunk there was found near Julanshaab, in
Greenland, several articles belonging to
the Jeanette which were carried to port
Greenland from the opposite side of the
polar sea on piece ice. The fact at once
aroused curiosity and DR.. Manson will
