LATE NEWS BY WIRE.
Point Made by Democratic Lawyers
in New Jersey.
ANOTHER LEGISLATIVE ELECTION
Becomes Necessary Through Judge
Oepue's Decision.
CAN'T PERSUADE WERTS.

TRENTON. N. J.. Nov. 1O.-The effect of
Judge Depue's decision yesterday in the
gerrymander case is being variously con-
strued and many democratic lawyers are
maintaining that 1t necessitates the holding
Of another election for members of the legis-
lature
II the law under which the election held
last Tuesday is unconstitutional they claim
the results of that election are nullifed and
they point to the state constitution and the
law as well for the authority that the COVER
nor has to order a new election.
According to their presentation of the
matter. the assembly seats are vacant by
reason of the decision. The Constitution,
article four. section four says: THE House
shall direct writs of election for supplying
vacancies occasioned by death, resignation,
or otherwise, but II vacancies occur dur
ing the recess OF the legislature, the writs
may be issued by the governor under such
regulations as may be prescribed by law
The law is that when any vacancy shall
happen in the representation of any coun-
ty in the senate or general assembly If such
vacancies happen during the recess of the
legislature or after the annual election and
not less than fifteen days before the COM
mencement of the legislative year il shall
be the duty of the governor forthwith to
Issue q writ of election to fill the said va
cancy, unless ne snail be OF the opinion that
the services OF person in the Office then
vacant will not be required during the legis-
tative year or the residue thereof.
Gov. Werts has been communicated with
on the subject, but his views regarding the
matter have not been made public yet. 1t
Is very doubtful if the politicians will be
able to persuade him to take this radical
step even though technicaiuies and the
constitution and law make 1t permissible.
In the decision in question 1t is ex-
pressly ruled that the elections hereafter
shall be conducted by the county instead
OF by the district system.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1o-Dullness has
again settled down upon speculation.

to the caprices of professional operators.
Opening figures were IA to 1 1-2 per cent
below last nights closing. and were but lit
tie benefited by subsequent transactions
London was dull and lower and sold a few
stocks on this side. principally st. Paul and
Atchison.
Encouraged by yesterdays success the
bear party were particularly aggressive in
their attack on the weak spots, and met
with little resistance from the other side.
The dizziness, however, retarded their prog
ress somewhat because of the small addi-
ton to the floating supply Of stock for bor-
rowing purposes. The bulls are extremely
weakened and retreat without any at
tempt at defense. Under this condition of
things the present restricted dealings will
continue until the selling movement reacts
upon itself and precipitates a covering
movement
Rumors Of q rival in the manufacture OF
gas for the city Of Chicago has encouraged
liberal selling of the present company

Atchison's affairs are the subject of much
unfavorable comment and rumors OF a re-
ownership are in circulation. The attack
on the stock that was predicted before the
opening did not materialize and the price
remained almost stationary around Is IL.
New York and New England was weak
on the report that the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Company would pre-
vent them gaining terminal in this city.
The price of the stock quickly dropped of

selling movement prompted by this intelli-
the New Haven's action to economy and
say that New England's interests will not
be injured by the move.
St PauPs earnings for the first week
this month decreased Sc, 900 and the price
OF the stock was depressed l per cent in
consequence.
The remainder Of the list was but little
changed from opening figures owing to the
prevailing dizziness and lack Of interest.
Conflicting rumors and opinions were
prevalent all day and the action Of the
market lent as much credence to one as
to the other and made action on either
hazardous.
The usual delivery hour squirt lent q
brief cir Of activity to the dealings and
temporarily improved prices.
Brown Brothers advanced posted rates

About Chry.anthemum Shows.

William Clark of the firm Of Clark Bros,
florists, has returned from visit to New
York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, where
he visited the chrysanthemum shows. He
waG greatly disappointed at the New York
show, while the efforts of the Phi,adel-
phians came up to his expectations. In
that city. Mr.. Clark says, there are many
private green houses where the gardeners
have plenty of time to devote to their
chrysanthemums. and for that reason the
show was much more attractive than it
would otherwise have been. The plants
he says, We're unusually fine and healthy
and the blossoms were as fine as he had
ever seen. In Baltimore the show was not
so good. The show in this city next week
he says, will be fine one and while 1t will
rot be as large as those in the other cities
he thinks 1t will compare favorably with
them Almost every local florist will be
represented and a larger attendance than
last year is expected.
