THE RETURNS AT WOODLEY
VIII Be Received by Telephone From the
White House.
The President and Party VIII He Kept
~ Returns Come In.

The President will get the election re-
turns tonight at Woodley. Arrangements
to that end were made today. The press
associations and the Western Union Tele-
graph Company will send all their bulle-
tins to the White House by telegraph and
those of special significance will be tele-
phoned by Private Secretary Thurber to
the President at his country home. Sever
al members Of the cabinet will probably
spend the evening with the President. 1t
is safe to say that they will know the re-
suit in New York, Virginia, Ohio, Iowa
and Massachusetts, before they retire for
the night-that is. Of course. provided the
returns received are sufficient to base a
judgment as to how the elections have
gone.
There were only two absentees at today's
cabinet meeting, viz, Secretaries Lamont
and Carlisle, both Of whom are in New
York today, one to vote the democratic
ticket and the other to lend the aid of his
presence to the success of that ticket. The
political situation was talked about during
the session, but did not prevent proper con-
sideration of questions affecting our foreign
policy and the financial situation.

SOUTH CAROLINA SUFFERERS.
Miss Clara Barton Describes the Con
dftiOn and the Relief Proposed.

Miss Clara Barton Describes the Con-
dillon and the Relief Proposed.
At the headquarters of the Red Cross So
ciety last evening there was a large gather
ing of people to listen to Miss Clara Bar
tons account of her experiences among
the Port Royal Islands of South Carolina,
which were swept over by the storm and
completely devastated. She described the
sufferings of the island people as being
most intense. and the restitution as COM
plete.
Mr.. George H. Pullman, who has been
with Miss Barton at the islands, also told
how the work of relief was carried on and
TO what an extent the people there are de-
pendent upon charity. 1t was shown that
the need of help for the sufferers is press
ing, and that for more than seven months
means of self support. Miss Barton de-
scribed the situation of the islands and ex-
planned how 1t was that the storm had
been so destructive to them.
The inhabitants. she said, were negroes
who lived in frail shanties and were little
protected from the storm. She knew that
their crops of cotton were destroyed, their
boats with which they go about among the
cattle were drowned. Thirty thousand per-
sons were without the barest necessaries
of life and 5000 houses had been swept
away. She had undertaken the work Of
relief at the request of Gov. Tillman, who
had wished to put the whole system of re-
lief under the charge of the Red Cross.
Since Congress had failed to aid she ap-
pealed to her hearers and the country at
large to contribute any amount, however
small, for the relief of the sufferers.
The Legion of Loyal Women, GA 18th
street, will receive all articles contributed,
and they will be boxed and sent to Beau
fort, s. c. Miss Barton leaves Washington
in a few days to superintend the work of
the Red Cross Society on the Islands.

CONTINUED RISE IN SILVER.
Russia Expected to Adopt Silver n,
Part of Her Monetary System

The strength displayed by silver during
the past week has attracted the attent ion
Of treasury officials. who keep a close
watch on the least fluctuations in matters
affecting the value of money the world
over. Silver is reported today in LonIon
as BIG pence per ounce higher than yester-
day, the figure today being 80 GIG pence
per ounce.
The cause for this strength is believed
here to be due not to temporary speculation.
but to well grounded opinion that Rus
STA in the near future will adopt silver as
part of her monetary system. 1t is stated
at the Treasury Department that intima-
lions have been received that Russia will
replace her uncovered paper money with
silver, to be used for subsidiary coin. At
present the amount of silver in use in Rus
STA as money is not SO cents per capita
Russia has 100000. 900 uncovered paper, or
about SAP per capita. 1t is stated here
that Russia can easily absorb $3.50. 600, 900
Of silver, and is DESTROYS of doing SO, for
the purpose of pushing her commerce in
the east with Persia, India and China,
which use silver almost exclusively as
money.

effect that the Pacific mail steamship Costa

CHICAGO, Nov. 7.-Interest in the Judi
cia-y election today is conferred in Joseph
E. Gary. republican candidate for re-elec-
ton to the superior court bench. The So
cialistic labor vote is arrayed against the
judge who presided at the Haymarket an
archists trial, and the opposition of Gov.
Altgeld. who pardoned Neebe. Felden and
Schwab, is expected . keep the regular
democratic vote in line.
Early reports, however, are that there is
much scratching by the democrats in the
Silk Stocking wards in favor Of Judge
Gary.
There has been no trouble at the polls.
and the vote is light compared with the
mayoralty election. Mayor elect Swift did
not go near the city hall today, and all the
municipal departments were closed.

NO Vegetable or Decayfng Matter co
BE Deposited on This Dump.
The public dump at the corner OF 18th

source Of much complaint for some time.
Recently Health Officer Hammett ordered
an inspection OF the dump and today he
forwarded to the Commissioner the re-
port Of Sanitary Inspector Stevens together
with the recommendation that the police
department be notified to correct this seri-
Gus evil by inspection and order that no
vegetable or decaying matter be deposited
at this place In the future. The report Of
Inspector Stevens follows:
This dump is used by the contractor sof
street and alley cleaning as q depository
for the sweepings OF same and also by tie
sewer department for dumping the Nth ana
refuse taken from the sewer traps OF the
city. The latter class Of matter is dumped
on the low ground and Is afterward covered
by the domestic rubbish.
The Center Market Company sent three
loads OF refuse to the dump today, two
loads OF which were composed largely CT
garbage, such as leaves OF cabbage and let
tuce. rotten apples and potatoes.
With one exception. viz: About two bar
refs or refuse, consisting OF ashes, oyster
shells and garbage from the house of q Mr..
Williams on z street between sth and 10th
streets southwest the domestic refuse. Of
which between thirty and forty barrels
were deposited on the dump DURING my stay
there, was Of good character, being COM
posed only Of ashes and sweepings Of stores
ana dwellings without any trace OF gar
bage.
The superintendent OF the dump, Mr.
William Barker. informed me that on three
occasions during the past three weeks the
driver OF q wagon belonging TO some meat
house on Louisiana avenue has deposited
garbage, composed OF blood, entrails Of
animals and poultry and other decayfnF
matter In the bushes on the edge OF the
dumping round. The most of this matter
has been covered up and saw only one
can. which he CBarkerl said had contained
he was right. Mr.. Barker also Informed
me that grocers wagons come to the dump
and deposit thereon mixtures OF ashes rub
bish and garbage.
1 respectfully recommend that the stten-
ton OF the police department be called to

stopped.
