F street northwest. DIR. Elliott ordered the
wagon hitched up and drove at once to the

proprietress declined to allow her to remain.
She was accordingly taken to the smallpox
hospital and given over to DIR. hewitt. She
was put to bed Immediately in one of the
spare rooms and everything done to make
her comfortable. At q late hour this evening
she had a high fever and was suffering in
tense pain in her head The patient was In
such a condition that it'was impossible to
learn anything of the case beyond the fact
that she had been Ill for three days. Just

SAN FRANCISCO, November 6. 1894.
According to latest estimates Geary Will
be returned to Congress from the first dis
trict. In the second the chances are good
for re- election Of Caminetti, although the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company is do
Ing ITS utmost for Grove l.. Johnson of
Sacramento. In the third district the dem
ccrats have slight hopes that Warren En-
glish will beat Hilborn. There was no
doubt that Mcguire would be returned from
the fourth district until yesterday, when
1t became apparent that he will have
hard struggle with Shannon, and the re-
suit is doubtful. All IS chaos in the fifth
district. Loud is pitted against Denman
and Kelly. both democrats. Kelly was the
regular nominee of the democratic conven-
ton, but the state central committee to TX
his name off the ticket because of his al
legged connection with municipal frauds in
San Francisco. Denman, an independent
democrat, was substituted for Kelly, but
the latter may hold enough votes to return
Loud. There is no foretelling the result.
Patton Is the anti-railroad and democratic
candidate In the sixth district, and the re-
suit of tho fight between him and McLach-
Ian, republican, will be taken as test of
the anti-monopoly strength of Los Angeles.
There is little doubt that Bowers will de-
feat Afford, democrat, and be returned
from the seventh. The two great elements
Of the contest in California are that 1t Is
conceded to be both a republican year and
an auti-railroad year. two facts that can
not occupy the same place in this state.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
RICHMOND, Va, November 6.-Reports
from nearly all of the congressional dis
tricts In Virginia up to pm. indicate that
a much lighter vote was polled than was ex-
pected This is due in a large measure to
the failure of the negroes to vote the new
Walton ballot law. This law, which Is given
q full trial for the first time today, is a
modification of the Australian ballot sys-
tenn, and one Of the requirements to vote
intelligently is to know how to read.
The illiterate negroes either through tim
idity, superstition or constituencies refraincd
from entering the booth or in any way at
tempting to vote. AS a result the demo-
Gratis, 1t is believed. have elected at least
eight out Of the ten Congressman and pos

Slow Work ut the Polls May Have Cut

NEW YORK, November 8-The new bal
lot which must be folded In a particular
way. and the multiplicity of ballots. all of
which must be properly folded and return
ed by the voter. greatly delayed the voting.
1t was estimated this afternoon that from
a third to a fourth of the voters would not
be able to get in their ballots 1t is hard
to tell who will be most hurt by this. In
the democratic districts the voting was
little slower than uptown. But 1t 1t said
that at every precinct the Tammany voters
were instructed to be early at the polls.
