MAY BE REPUBLICAN, AFTER ALL.
south Dakota Is an Extremely Doubtful
State Yet.

Sioux Falls, S. D., November 1s.-The
Republican state committee and candk,
dates held special meeting here Tues
day night to check up the official vote as
furnished by the county auditors. Chair
man Elliott authorizes the statement
that the Republicans elect the secretary
of state, auditor, treasurer, commissioner
of public land, lieutenant-governor and
superintendent Of schools by from 100 to
200 votss, and that the vote on governor
and electors is so close that the official
count will be needed TO determine fully,
but that probability favors the Republ
cans.
Both sides bad figured on total OF
only N, 000 votes, but the total recorded
reached 80, 900. The committee has re-
ports OF several thousand votes returned
in Populist precincts where the most
careful investigation fails today to find
the votes.
There is no doubt that heavy frauds
were committed, especially, in the rugged
mountain counties of the Black Hills.
1t Is likely that number Of precincts
will be contested.

ELEVATORS LOWER PRICES
Novel Claim Advanced by Chicago
Beard Of Trade.
HOW THE WHEAT MARKET Is
MANIPULATED.

Statistics Show That While Capacity of
Elevators Has Increased Three Fold
Since 1873 Receipts Are Practically the
Same.
Chicago, November 1S.-In the elevator
controversy resumed before Judge Tulley
today. Attorney Robbins, representing
the board of trade interests, advanced a
novel and startling proposition. The
evidence which will form the basis OF mis-
argument. was presented today. 1t con-
sists of tables compiled from reports of
warehouse commissions, covering the
period from 1878 to 1896. The proposition
the attorney will urge is that the big
elevators of Chicago are responsible for
the general depression of the wheat mar
ket.
According to Attorney Robbins these
tables show the immense amount of
grain kept constantly in store in the
Chicago elevators accounts tor the de-
preston of the market The statistios
show that while the capacity of elevators
has increased from $1,000, 600 bushels
since 1878, he total receipts are practical
ly the same as In 1878.
The additional capacity is being util-
lied, it is said, for keeping grain in
store. Taking first, grain of all kinds,
the tables show that with practically the
same total receipts for 1874 and 1896 the
speculative tendency grow to such an
extent that the least amount of grain in
store Ia 1895, was twice the highest
amount in 1874.
The tables next deal with wheat. I hey
| show the receipts Of wheat during 1895
were less than in 1874 and the following
deductions are made: The minimum
| amount in store in 1895 was forty .aeven
times that ofaa1874 The maxim m amount
of 1895 was seven and half tim es more
than 1874. The minimum of 1898 was
four times the maximum of 1874. The
condition of things in the wheat market
was therefore worse than in the grain
market in general
| Tine object of the elevator men in keep
ing this grain In store is Mr.. Robbins
argues to keep prices low, SO as to reduce
the amount of capital invested. The
controversy between the warebousemen
and board of trade began a year and a
half ago when the board of trade sought
| to prevent Warehousemen from dealing
In grain In open market.
| 1t was claimed the latter were violat.
| ing their charter provisions, as they
were buying and selling grain ownen by
other people which was merely stored

com missioners decided against the
| elevator people and the case was 5aken
| into court.
