STEER LOOSE.
He Created a Lively Quarter of an
Hour In the Buffalo Stock Yards.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov. g. 1S94-A large
sized Texas steer, mad with fury, broke
loose from the East Buffalo stock yards
yesterday afternoon and for several
hours tore madly through East Side
streets.
The animal had arrived from Chicago
about noon with carload of cattle con-
signed to Werthimer Bros. At three
o'clock several drovers opened the car
with the intention of bringing the ami
mails to the slaughter house. But this
particular steer objected. No sooner was
he outside the car than he charged the
men with lowered head. A drover named
johnson, in trying to get away, stumbled
and fell striking his nose on one of the
rails and breaking it. BY running behind
the infuriated beast and striking him with
their heavy clubs the other men succeed
ed in distracting his attention from john
son and thus saved him from being, per-
haps, gored to death.
The infuriated animal, it's tongue hang
ing out and flanks covered with foam,
dashed madly around the stock yards,
train hands and others.
Mounted policemen from the Eighth
and Ninth precincts were soon on the
battle ground and opened up a lombard
ment upon the wild animal from Texas
with their revolvers. Two of the shots
took effect, but they served only to
heighten the fury of the steer. Six in
nocent cows, however, were killed by
shots from the patrolmen's revolvers.

COST OF THE ELECTION.
State and municipalities Have 10 Pay
al k0.NQn or More.

Special to the Jersey City Nescs.
TRENTON, Nov. s, 1S94-Undsr the
Werts law elections are expensive in New
Jersey The expenses are divided between
the State and municipalities. In New Jer-
sey there are 1922 judges, inspectors and
clerks of election, all under pay. The
judges and inspectors of election num-
Der 3,54s. They also serve as the Board
of Registration. They each average nine
days, getting SO day. as the law fixes
eight hours as a days work. The cost
of these officers will approximate about
who get $3 day, which nets So, 522 max
ing considerable over 100000 for these
officers.
The next item of great expense is the
stationery, which is supplied from the
Secretary of States office. Each county
the voting places all the books of refer
ence and stationery needed. There are
1853 separate pieces. These are diStri-
buted among S57 election districts, and the
value of the stationery for each precinct
is about $4o This makes another item
of S35, $40. The expense of printing tickets
and envelopes falls on the county. 1t IS
impossible to say just what these Will
cost In the aggregate, as the number
varies in different counties, but an expert
figures on the cost of tickets and en-
velopes for each precinct at about ST..
This is an average This makes the total
cost of envelopes and tickets in the
State about $6,209. All these items added
together make, the legitimate expenses
of election in the State about s150, 900. To
this, of course, must be added the ex-
penses of candidates, political organiza-
tions, holding of meetings, carriages,
badges, music and campaign documents,
which will add up ad libftum.

GENERAL BAToHELDER's REPORT.
what Clothing and Equipage fol
Ar,nX and Militia Cost.

WASHINGTON, Nov. s, 1894.-Quarter-
master General Batchelder in his annual
report to tn e Secretary of War shows
that hte clothing and equipage of the
army cost over $1,500,0Oo during the past
year, that the average cost of 957 caval
ry horses recently purchased was $99.i9
per head, and that the department fur
nished transportation from July, 1S93 to
July, 1894, for SS3,664 persons, S,70S ami
mails and 69,S35 tons of material
The Quartermasters' corps expended
over half million dollars for buildings
at military points, the most important
improvements being at Fort Than Allen,
Vermont, Fort Wayne, Mich, and the
new Fort Harrison, Mont. The new post
near Little Rock, Ark, will be COM
menced this year. General Batchelder
also has the supervision of national
cemeteries, and during the year 1881
white marble head stones were erected
to mark the graves of soldiers and sail
ors.
Considerable progress has been made
in fixing the positions of the opposing
armies on the battlefield of Antietam,
Maryland.
General Batchelder has not been able
to reach conclusion as to the desira-
bility of substituting aluminium for brass
in buttons, helmet ornaments and buckles
as the durability of the new metal for
these purposes is questioned.

JERSEY CHAIRMANSHIPS.
Gardner and Loudenschlager in Luck
-EsurrOyvs NAV Be Speaker.

Burrows May Be speaker.
WASHINGTON, Nov. s, 1S94.-Amid all
the features of the great Republican
landslide Tuesday, nothing attracts more
attention than the result in New Jersey.
At the headquarters of the Democratic
Congressional Committee, yesterday af-
ternoon, it was stated that the election
of seven Republican Congressman in
New Jersey was as little anticipated as
a Democratic majority in Pennsylvania.
The reports from the Democratic candi-
dates in the State had been of a nature
to assure their election. 1t has not been
so very long since Representative Dunn,
of Elizabeth, was at the headquarters,
and he expressed himself as very conf
dent of success. However" as Senator
Faulkner said. ''this is evidently Re
publican year, and it is a good deal
better to be defeated in 1884 than 1896. .
No explanations are being attempted
on the part of the Democratic mana
gers. The election and its result is so
pianation. The tariff question in New
England, Democratic disaffection and
lack of harmony in New York, the Re
publican gerrymander in Ohio and the
Gratis everywhere were some of the con-
ditions which were referred to as con-
tributing to the outcome.
CHAIRMANSHIPS FOR NEW JERSEY.
1t is an ill-wind that blows no one any
good and the overturning of the Demo-
cratic majority in the House will bring
two of the New Jersey members to the
front. Congressman Gardner and Louden-
Slayer, who have been returned, will be
among the few Republicans in the next
House who have already served side by
side with Mr.. Reed, and they will GER
tainly secure good chairmanships.
Whether they will be placed at the head
of the committees upon which they now
serve is a question which can hardly
be determined now, but they will be
sure to get excellent recognition.
OF course, Mr. Reed will be Speaker.
That goes without saying. Mr.. Bur
for contest over the position, but he
will not be in it. He will have to content
himself with the Craftsmanship of the
Ways and Means Committee, taking the
place of the now defeated chairman, Mr..
Wilson. Representative Cannon. of ILL.,
nois, will probably have charge of the
Committee on Appropriations. Both Mr..
Burrows and Mr.. Cannon are men of
long experience. in dealing with financial
and revenue questions and will make
efficient chairmen
NOT A HIGH TARIFF MAN
The complexion of the House and of
the Senate for the next two years makes
it impossible for either party to do
the tariff. At the same time Mr.. Bur-
rows, who would have charge of a
tariff. bill. should one be possible, is not
an extreme protectionist. He favors a
tariff, of course. but he is not of the
Mckinley school He has too much of the
Western feeling to be an extremist. Be
| sides this, 1t must be remembered that
Mr.. Reed is a rival of Mckinley for the
Presidential nomination in 1896, and he
is not going to allow anything to occur
in the Fifth-fourth Congress which will
give the Ohio statesman too much promi-
nence and glory.

BROOKLYN MAY SAY NO.

BROOKLYN, NY. Nov. s. 1Ss4-The
vote here on Greater New York. as re-
ported to Police Headquarters this morn
ing, shows that those who favored con-
solidation had lost by about 100 votes.
There are still about twenty outlying
districts to report, and Secretary Shanks.
of the Consolidation League, says that
private advices received by him show
that the consolidation carried by small
vote.
The accountants who are tabulating
the returns say it will be at least two
days before the matter can be satisfac-
torily settled.

RIOT AMONG STRIKERS.
Women CIoakmaLers Lead in Deeds
of ViOlenc

NEW YORK, Nov. 8, 1S94-A riot oc-
Cured in Greene street, near Spring,
this morning, caused by about fifty strik-
ing cloakmakers, including men and
women, who attacked twenty-five cloak
makers as they were about to resume
work in the factories of a. Beller &
Co., No. 81 Greene street, and Samuel
Oppenheim, No. 50 Greene street.
Seven of the strikers, among them
four women, were arrested after the
melee and taken to Jefferson Market
Court, where they were charged with as
sault.
The men and women employed in the
two shops gathered in front of the en-
frances just before eight o'clock when
about forty of the men strikers came up
Greene street and began to taunt them,
calling them towards" At the same
moment ten women strikers came around
the corner from Spring street and as
sailed several women who We're about
to go to work in Oppenheim's shop.
One young woman grabbed a woman
good deal older than herself and ex-
claimed
Shame on you for going to work
when your husband is on strike. Come
with u.s.
The woman jerked away from the
striker but another grabbed her by the
hair and two others tugged at her skirts.
While this was going on, two more
women were surrounded by strikers and
showed away from the. shop door and
urged to stay out, but they refused, and
finally the trio escaped up the stairway.
On the opposite side of the street, in
front of Beller & Co.'S, the strikers
grabbed the non-union workmen and
Several blows were struck, but no per
son was severely hurt.
A stout young girl grabbed the long
whiskers of a acknowledgements
man and pulled a handful of hair out
before she could be stopped.
Policeman Ryder and two other Pa
trolmen came in sight, and there was a
scramble among the strikers to escape,
but seven of them were arrested and
taken to the Macdougal street station,
and thence to Jefferson Market Court.
1t is likely that the Executive Com
mittee of the Union will not press the
charges against Police Captain Grant
for his part in the Rutgers Square club
bing affair
With few exceptions the strikers con-
tinue to hold out and the cloak fac
tories are idle. The distress among the
families of the men continues.

a smile seems to have been an absence
of Democratic votes. We expected a
much heavier vote than was polled The
registration showed $500 names here In

"As to the causes which led to the

tagonism felt towards Congress for its
failure to keep the pledges of the party
in regard to a prompt reform of the
tariff, had much to do with the local as

STEVENSON EXPLAINS IT.
Delay in Passing the TariG Law the
Principal Cause of Disaster.

BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, Nov. 8, 1894. :
Adlai E. Stevenson, Vice-President,
spent yesterday quietly in the seclasion
of the home of his brother John. Mr..
Stevenson was asked to state his opin-
ion as to the causes leading up to the
Democratic defeat. He said:-"My opin-
ion can be briefly stated. The result is
due, in part, to the financial depression
which came upon the country soon after
the inauguration of Mr. Cleveland.
While the Democrats were in no way re-
sponsible for this, they We're made the
scapegoats. 1t was also in part due to
the delay of Congress in passing the
tariff bill. Had the bill BECOME a law "
quite probable that the business condi-
tions of the country would have SO ad-
justed themselves that the political result
would have been different"
Mr. Stevenson will depart + fr9m e,IIa Bloom- @ n
where he will join his family, who are
sojourning there. He will remain in the
South three weeks, going thence to
