ILLINOIS.

Chicago, H., Nov 3-All indications are that an enormous vote will be polled in this city today. The weather which was threatening and showery last night, is very clear and balmy after a foggy early morning, and all parties are hard at work getting their respective. partis- ans in line. Voting began promptly in all wards thousands of men going to the polls before working hours. The profnpt- ness with which votes were cast in- dicated that very little scratching was being done, all other considerations be- ing lost sight of in financial issue. -,
 For the first time in many years sa- looms are generally closed throughout the city. Voting proceeded quietly Very little disorder was reported from any precinct. ss--'-
 Owing to the large number of voters at dozen or more precincts in this city, the election commissioners found it.nec- essary before noon today to supply extra ballot boxes. In a number of booths in the southwestern portion of the city and other laboring settlements, two bal lot boxes being used. The early vote is reported heavy. . ..ss, -ras
 About twenty barkeepers and saloon proprietorsz all over the city were arrest ed this morning for making secret sales of liquor.; The chief of police in person arrested bartender in Alderman Nor ris' saloon on West Randolph street shortly after the polls opened for con- ducting his business through the rear door. Up to o'clock there have been no disturbances of consequence reported from any of the wards. All reports indi- cate that the heaviest vote ever recorded has been cast. It is estimated that fully 50 per cent. of the voters marked their ballots before Il o'clock. It was notice able that both rich and poor were early at the polls. 7. ..-...-s ss...-.-=s

MARYLAND.

Baltimore, M. D., Nov. 3-Election day in Maryland dawned warm and sunny and it is expected that the full voting strength of both the leading parties will be registered in both city and state.
 In Baltimore, long lines of voters were in waiting at an early hour at the 301 vot- ing places. When the polls were opened at 6 a. m., and by 10 o'clock it was esti- mated that nearly half of those entitled to vote had cast their ballot
 Long waits at the polls were to great extent obViated by the fact that the city had been redistricted and 104 new poll ing places added since last election. No precinct in Baltimore contains more than 400 voters. The polls closed at 5 D. m., an hour earlier than heretofore This early closing, coupled with the shortness of the precincts, is expected to greatly expedite the completion of the returns so that the vote in the city may be known at an early hour.
 Baltimore, Nov. 3.-Returns from the city precincts are coming in slowly, but indicate large republican vote.
 Ten scattering precincts in the city give Mckinley 1,720; Bryan, 1,024.
 Both chairmen of the state committees of Maryland claim the state. The re- publicans say they have 10000 plurality the democrat ts claim 5000.
 Scattering precincts out of 402 in Balti- more city give Mckinley 5,005; Bryan, B.
 
 municipal ticket will not be far behind McKinley's vote.

 Baltimore, Nov 3.-Eighty- pre- cincts out of 3O2 in Baltimore give Me- Kinley 16,45S; Bryan, 10,S51.
 Advices from Garrett indicate that the republicans have plurality of 70O
 Carroll county will give Mckinley a plurality of 500.
 Advices from the counties are coming in slowly, but indicate that the republi- cans have made gains in many places thought to be sure for Bryan. Talbot county goes republican by about 300, sev- en districts out of twenty-two in Freder- ick county show slight republican gains and indicate that Mckinley won in the county by 800 majority. Kent county is republican. The state, including Balti- more is repu blican by 25, 900 to 10000.
 At 10 o'clock the indica tions point to the election of five republican congressman in Maryland. But fragmentary returns from many of the counties have been re- ceived. The three districts made up in part of Baltimore city, viz: the Second Third and Fourth, have given Baker Booze and Mcintyre handsome majori- ties. Ex-Congressman Sidney Mudd's majority in the Seventeenth ward of this city will probably suffice to overcome any democratic majorities in the counties.
 Capt. John Mcdonald, republican, is elected from the Sixth district, composed of western counties. ',,.....
 Little has been heard from the eastern shore, but a democratic congressman has probably been reelected in the First dis trict.

The count is progressing very slowly on account of the blanket ballot The indi- cations are that Bryan and Sewall have carried twelve precincts and Mckinley two precincts. There are six populist boxes in the county, but the chances are they will go democratic, as the populists as a usual thing are supporting Bryan and Sewall.
 The Palmer and Buckner vote Is very light, not over 20 in the county. The to- tal will be about 750. Of this Bryan and Sewall will poll 500 giving democratic majority of 250.
