Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CHICAGO, November "a very heavy
vote is being polled today, and politicians
predict that when the polls close over 3oo.-
900 votes will have been cast in Cook
county. Theweather is clear and cold. The
sun is shining, and all trace of last nights
rain has disappeared. The vote is espe-
cially large in the fashionable precincts. on
the north and south sides. in most OF which
a majority of the registered voters had cast
IL cir ballots before 10 O'Clock. 1t was esti-
mated that at noon two-thirds of the votes
had been cast in the city. Indications point
10 a large republican plurality in Chicago,
which the republicans believe may reach
100000, as near as can be guessed by the
watchers at the polls. Altgeld is running
very largely ahead of his ticket and he is
likely to lead Bryan in the city by JO,eO.
The democrats claim that they will keep
the republicans down TO a small plurality.
Reports from the counties of the state
show large vote, and the republicans
claim that 1t is in their favor The vote in
the smaller cities and towns is especially
large Altgeld is not running ahead in the
country, being scratched by a many dem
ocrats as there are republicans who vote
for him.
Henry l.. Hertz, for state treasurer,
seems to be running behind in all parts of
the state.
The best estimates on the state gives
Mckinley Illinois by from $4,000 to 10000
majority, and Tanner from 20,oo0 to $1,000
majority. The democrats seem ready to
ooncede the state to Mckinley, and they

BOSTON, Mass, November "A brighter
election day Eever dawned in New Eng

vote. and at an early hour this forenoon
the campaign managers were unanimous
In expressions of surprise at the proportion
of the registration that had already been
voted. TIE polls opened at 6 o'clock IN
this city, and during the first hour in many
precincts the number of the votes cast was
larger than ever before in the same period
This was especially noticed in some of the
wards in the more fashionable districts,
where the citizens are not in the habit of
Eurrying to the polling places.
Such conditions are reported also from
all the cities of New England heard from
up to o O'Clock, and on all sides the pre-

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, November 3.-Weather
could not be finer than 1t Is all over Ohio
today. 1t is a mild summer day, too warm
for overooats. The state officers to be
elected are secretary of state, supreme
judge, food commissioner and member state
board of public works; circuit and common
pleas judges and county officers are also
chosen. The gold democrats have nomi-
mated state officers only for those offices
in which the regular democrats and the
populists fused. These are supreme Judge
and food commissioner. Except in these
cases the state and electoral ticket will
run even.
An enormous vote is being polled every
where. Tile fine weather and good roads
in the country add to the intense interest
in the election. and will probably bring the
total vote up to $4,000. In this city half
of the vote was cast In many precincts
in the first two and half hours of the
morning. The vote is large everywhere.
but particularly in republican wards.
At the republican state headquarters
their claim of the state by majority
reaching to 100000 was reiterated this
morning. Secretary Taylor of the demo-
cratic state committee still claims the
state. G.

Four policemen teephoned the police

were notified to keep a careful watch for
any attempted burglary. The fact that
such an explosion had been reported from

count for it. On inquiry yesterday it was
learned that several other persons had

Between the Lonja or Exchange at Sc

the famous Alcazar (Al Kasr-house of
Caesar, the foundations of which were
laid in 1881, but the principal superstruc-
ture was erected by Pedro the Cruel in
1884, and much altered by Charles V,
who displayed here the same passion which
had dishgured the Alhambra by building
one palace inside another
Pedro strictly initiated the Moorish SOW
ereigns in his buildings, as he tried to re-
sembIe them by administering open-air
justice in the Patio de las Banderas. The
history of this strange monarch gives AL
cazar its chief interest. As a child he fed
hither with his mother from his father,
Alonzo XXI, and his mistress, Leonora de
Gu2man. They were protected by the min
lister, Albuquerque, at whose house Pedro
met and loved Maria de Padilla Castil-
ian beauty of noble birth, whom he secret
ly married. Albuquerque was furious, and,
aided by the queen-mother, forced him in
to a political marriage with the French
princess, Blanche de Bourbon. He met her
at Valladolid, but three days after his nup-
tials he fled from the wife he disliked to
the one he loved, who ever after held royal
court at Seville while Queen Blanche, a

many years. was finally put to death at

The Red King of Granada was received
by Pedro in this Alcazar and promised
safe conduct, but ne was cruelty butchered
for the sake of his jewels, one of which, a
magnificent ruby, which Pedro gave to the
Black Prince after Navarete, and which
is the fair ruby, great like a racket ball d"
which Elizabeth showed TO the ambassa-
dor of Mary of Scotland, now adorns the
royal crown of England.
