show Little Excitement.

snow Llttle EAcAttmchts
Chicago, Nov. 2--It was a quiet election
evening in this city in the downtown thor
oughfares, in the big hotels and the other
resorts for crowds politically inclined, and
Of betting proclivities.
The hotel clerks and employees of sport
ing resorts agreed that bets were few and
far between and small. The people who
have crowded places at night seemed to
have gone home to get up early and vote.
Political arguments and speculation were
on the tongue of all citizens I'm pairs or
more and there was general desire that
tomorrow night would come and end the
suspense.
Most of the money wagered on the re-
suit of the election in various ways had
been put up before tonight and the odds
on Mckinley winning remained the same.
A wind swept rain fell for short time
tonight, but at late hour the stars are
twinkllng in anticipation of bright day
for voters.

New York. Nov 2.-The stock exchange
presented quite a scene of excitement and
enthusiasm when the gong sounded for
the closing of the board at o'clock. A
large crowd of members were present ana
were regaled with songs by the glee club
of the republican dry goods district. The
glee club consisted of four members, two
ladies and two gentlemen, and it is the
first time in the history of the exchange
that ladies have appeared on the floor of
the exchange. The club sang a number
of national airs and were appIauded TO
the echo. After each song the enthusi-
asm reached a higher pitch, and finally
the brokers were fairly beside themselves,
waving hats and handkerchief amid wild
shouts for sound money victory at the
polls tomorrow. No such scene at the
stock exchange has been witnessed in any
previous presidential campaign.

New York. Feb. 27.-Col. w. M. Eadie,
one of the leaders OF the Salvation Army
In this country. announces positively
that all danger OF secession by the
supporters OF the former commander,
Ballington Booth. were now past. All
the brigadiers of the army, who, during
the controversy between the two fac
tions, had been wavering. were now
ready 10 support Gen. William Booth,
OF London. against Mr.. and Mrs. BAL
iington Booth. The last of the brig
ndiers TO reach this decision, Col. Endie
said, was Brigadier Fielding. Of Chi
cago. During the trouble Brigadier
Fielding was ore OF Ballington Booths
most ardent supporters.
While the leading officers have de-
cided 10 support Gen. William Booth In
the removal of darlington Booth. tho
rank ami file OF the army are still large
~ in favor Of their much-beloyed com
mander and his wife.
At the headquarters OF the army, the
situation Is not materially changed.
The one important change Wednesday
was the resignation of Maj. Peter Glen
and his wife. Mai. Glen had been in
charge of the field department and was
one of the most powerful officers In the
work. The couple sent a letter To Com
missioner Eva Booth giving MS their
reason for resigning the belief that
Commander and Mrs. Ballington Booth
had been dismissed without just
cause.
Maj. Glen said that Baliington Booth
had In no way advised his resignation,
and that his action in withdrawing was
entirely OF his own accord. 'Balling-
ton Booth will not lead an American
army" was the answer Maj. Glen made
70 questions about Mr. Booths inten-
tons. "He has received a number of
invitations to conduct evangelical meet
ings, and very probably will engage
In some such work"
Maj. Glen also said that the published
reports that large sums of money had
been promised TO Mr.. and Mrs. Balling-
ton Booth TO carry on any work they
might desire were in n measure true.
lie said that committee of prominent
citizens had made such offers, but who
they were he would not say. Officers
Of the army have little fear that Balling-
ton Booth will not turn over the funds
OF the army in this country, which are
all deposited in his name In various
hanks. He has already signed checks
for the current expenses of the organi-
zation. Another account has been
started I'm the name of Eva Booth, TO
which all available funds are added.
hut many of the contributions still
come in in the form OF checks "to the
order of Ballington Booth which must
be deposited in the accounts In his
name.
