FAULKNER BEGINS TO FEAR.
THE CHAIRMAN HOPEFUL BUT LESS
CONFIDENT OF VICTORY.

Rather Adverse Returns Coming in
From the West and Middle West
During the Past Few Days-The
Committee Handicapped by Lack
of Money and Literature-The
Republican Chairman StiIl Boast
full.
Washington, Nov. AT democratic
congressional headquarters to-day Sena-
tor Faulkner did not appear quite so com
fident of democratic success as he has
heretofore.
The work of Senator Faulkner's COM
mittee is over, for he has no funds at his
command to send home belated and in
digent voters and the supply of campaign
literature was exhausted two weeks ago.
The committee rooms will be kept open
until after the election, and arrangements
have been made to receive the returns by
bulletin tomorrow night.
Rather adverse returns have been COM
ing in against Bryan from the west and
middle west during the past few days.
Still Senator Faulkner claims that Bryan
and free silver will be victorious to-mor-
row.
Two years ago, when he fell down so
badly in his predictions relative to the
complexion of the majority in the pres
ent House of Representatives, he says he
based his statements then made upon re-
ports received from the chairmen of dis
trict and county committees In the pres
ent contest he has not depended entirely
upon the district and county organizations
for his information, but has obtained it
through his conection with the national
committee and personal observation. Just
before leaving headquarters this after
noon, he remarked that he sincerely be-
lieves that Bryan will be elected, and
then he added that if he fails in his pre-
diction this time he will never venture
to make political prediction again.
Representative Babcock, chairman OF
the republican committee, is more cheer
full than his rival at the democratic head
quarters. Mr.. Babcock has worked in
double harness with Mark Hanna all
through the present campaign, and he
knows Just what has been done, and he is
also aware of the results that have been
obtained. He is, therefore quite confident
of republican success. While the general
work of his committee was concluded sew
eral days ago. he is still busily employed
in sending home voters from this city,
who are not able to reach their respective
voting places unassisted The basement
of the oHtel Normandie was to-day
transformed into a transportation bureau,
and Chairman Babcock provided several
hundred voters with the means to go home
and vote for Mckinley. The headquar-
ters will be kept open until after the
election and tomorrow night Chairman
Babcock will receive returns from national
committee headquarters, and also from
the various press and telegraph associ-
ations. The bulletins he receives will be
spread upon a canvas in front of head
quarters and a number of prominent re-
publicans are expected at headquarters
when the returns come in.

OUTLOOK FOR THE WEATHER.
Grave Danger of Rain In n Number
of the states.

Washington, Nov. 2, IL p. m.-The
weather bureau furnishes the following
special bulletin to the press:
The weather conditions are maturing
about as indicated in the special bulletin
issued this morning. A storm condition
tonight covers the upper lake region, up
per Mississippi and upper Missouri val
leys Rain is now falling at Chicago,
Green Bay and Duluth; and over the east
ern portions of North and South Dako-
Ia and Western Minnesota. The amount
of snow, which has fallen in the Dakotas
and Western Minnesota during to-day
ranges from one to six inches.
On Tuesday cloudy weather and moder-
ate rainfall will probably prevail in Michi-
gan and Wisconsin with high southeast
winds; rain or snow in Minnesota, with
clearing weather in the afternoon; snow
in the eastern portion of the Dakotas,
probably clearing by noon; cloudy and
light showers in oregon, Washington and
Montana.
In Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois,
Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas and all other
states not previously mentioned, clear and
pleasant weather is practically certain to
prevail on Tuesday. Willis G.. Moore,
Chief of Bureau.
There is absolutely nothing in the wealth
er conditions to prevent every farmer in
the New England and middle states ana
south from coming to the polls, as the
roads are in good condition and are sure to
remain so for several days. The noun
tain states are also dry, but the western
slope of the Mississippi valley has been
thoroughly soaked in the last three or
four days. and even in Kansas and Nc
braska teaming is so heavy that another
general shower would make many poor
roads almost impossible. This stay-aJ-
home state of affairs is worse in Oregon
and Washington than anywhere else In
the union

WITH CAROLINA'S VOTE.
Both Parties Claim to Have n Cinch
on the State.

On Nne
Raleigh, N c., Nov. 2-The populist
state chairman says his poll of the state
shows 177,OOO republicans; $1,000 populists;
and 10000 democrats, registered.
H. H. Banks last Saturday declared his
independent republican candidacy for con-
gress in this district. Chairman Holton
attacked him in an address, saying his
action was inspired by democratic money.
Tonight Banks denounces this statement
and intimates that he will sue Holton for
libel.
Betting was even here to-day on whether
Mckinley or Bryan would carry the state.
The weather is cloudless and warm, and
the indications are that the vote will be
immense.
The democratic state chairman declines
to give the result of his poll of the state.
He sent kilograms to-day to all the coun-
ty chairmen saying he has informal tion
from National Committeeman Jones that
fraudulent schemes will be practced in
North Carolina, and that he is reliably
informed that there will be mixed tickets
or false boxes or counts. He also says to-
night: 1--WE will stick to our electoral
ticket and vote for the populists thereon,
whether they vote for democratic electors
or not"
At 10 o'clock tonight Populist State
Chairman Aver gave out the following:
THE state looks favorable for BRYAN.
Our people win stand by the democratic
electors The cooperation state ticket
will win, and as to the majority it is onlv a
matter of calculation

est Estimates on the State.
New York, Nov 2.-The scenes in the
corridors of the uptown hotels
were exciting tonight and the
Fifth Avenue. Hoffman, Impe-
rial and Bartholdi hotels were
thronged with the partisans of McKin-
lev and Hobart and some Bryanites ven.
tured within their portals with the object
of betting on the result. The Hoffman
house lobby corridor and cafe were
thronged with wearers Of Bryan badges,
who kept up a continuous shouting for
their favorite. At the Imperial there was
a mixed assemblage and at the Bartholdf
the crowd was thoroughly Bryanite.
THE betting opened to / that Bryan
would be defeated, but along toward MID
night and to l were the best that
could be had. Col. Harry Swords bet
81 200 to $400 on the general result, taking
the mckinley end; Gen. Powell Clayton
bet 5000 even with a Philadelphia man,
who would not give his name, that Nc
Kinley would receive 10000 majority In
this state.
There were a number of other small bets
during the evening, in the Fifth Avenue.
At the Hoffman House, w. r. Hearst
wagered $500 against $1,000 that McKin-
ley would not carry Michigan, Indiana

The Democrats Figure on 10000 and
the Republicans on 10000.
St. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 2.-Never before has
Missouri been so thoroughly canvassed and
campaigned. The registration is the high
est ever known and the vote will certainly
pass all records. The republicans have
fought hard and aggressively, and their
claim of coming victory is not campaign
bravado.
The democrats, aroused from apathy by
the vigorous front of their opponent, have
set their squadrons moving in every school
district and feel assured of victory. The
republicans are strongly abetted by the
Palmer and Buckner democrats, while
Bryan will receive the united support of
the populists and the straight democrats.
Chairman Chauncey 1. Filley, for the re-
pubhcans, this evening offered $500 rewa rd
Tor the conviction of any one initiating a
voter or committing a fraud at the polls.
in anticipation of possible riot, 500 extra
policemen have been sworn in.
The democrats claim 10000 majority and
the republicans $4,000 majority. Tonight
there was a slight rain here, but there is
promise of fair weather tomorrow.

IRISHS TOUR IN NEBRASKA.
One Man Killed and FusiIades of
Spoiled Eggs Numerous.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 2.-The tour of the
John P. Irish party, which followed Can
didate Bryan to-day was marred by one
distressing and fatal accident, and Sc
ries Of unpleasant incidents. The special
train bearing the California gold standard
advocate was partially wrecked at NAL
colin, the first stopping place after leav-
ing Lincoln, and John M. Tipling we'll
known travelling man of this city, was
killed. The special had been given the
right of way, but by some misunderstand-

ed to remain on the main track as the
special thundered in. Mr.. Tipnng was on
the rear end of the caboose, and attempt
ing to jump was caught between the ca
boose and freight car ahead and fatally
crushed. The body was brought to Lin
coin tonight. Mr.. Irish and his party
were badly shaken up, but not seriously
injured.
At Sutton, where the crowd which wei
coined Mr.. Bryan yet remained. Mr.. Irish
was greeted with a shower of eggs and
heavier missiles, one of which broke car
window and injured a lady.
At Grafton, boots and Kisses greeted
him, and at Harvard the same reception
was accorded. not, however, without
cheers from the republicans.
In other towns he was given a respect

NEBRASKA TO BE CLOSE.
The Trend of Events For SO Hours in
Mckinley's Favor

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 2.-Enminating the
effect of w. ]. Bryan's trip through Ne
braska to-day, which none deny has been
a factor in his benefit the political trend
of the state for the past thirty-six hours
has been favorable to the republicans.
For this condition of affairs the populist
supporters of Mr.. Bryan have men IN
their own ranks to blame The meetings
of to-day and Saturday night were mark
ed at a number of towns by overt acts,
such as throwing eggs at republican
speakers and burning republican banners
and the reaction has set in. Aside from
this there has been nothing to change
the estimate either way. The vote will
be close in any event, and it is question:
able If the result, even on the heads of
telligence of the assassination of four ne

Bryan men have a trifle the better. of It
No large wagers have been made or ODDS
offered by either side. Mr.. Bryan's home
county is claimed by the republicans by
1000, but his supporters insist it is far
too large.

Txvo MEN K1sTED IN Mrxu
Their Lives Lost in n Heroic Efort
20 Save Another.

Pottsvile, Pa, Nov. 2--An accident, re-
sulting from singular cause, cost the
lives Of two men and the fatal injury OF
a third at Packer colliery No. 2, at GIrard-
Vile, this afternoon. Thomas Welsh OF
Lost Creek, John Hallaran of Gilberton,
Joseph Staum of Lost Creek and Michael
Mack were at work In the mine this af-
ternoon. Welsh had been engaged in what
is known as "robbing" pillars. He had
driven a pole in the face OF the breast,
in which he put his blast. ] He applied
the match to the squib and hastened away
for place OF shelter. He had gone but
few feet when a large lump OF coal
rolled on to his foot, pinning him fast
TO the ground. Momentarily expecting
the explosion of the blast, he cried for
help. The other three men were working
near, and, diregarding the danger to
themselves they ran to Welshs rescue.
They had scarcely reached him when the
blast exploded, bringing down with 1t
mass Of coal upon the men. Hallaran and
Staum were crushed to death and Welsh
fatally injured. while Mack was fortu-
nate in escaping with slight hurts.

OHIO APT TO GO REPUBLICAN.
The Party Chairman Counts on at
Least 65,OOO Majority.

Columbus, o., Nov. 2.-Chairman Caren
of the national democratic state commit
tee and Chairman McConville of the
democratic state committee will give no
estimate of the election result in the
state. Chairman Kurtz of the republican
committee lets his statement of Satur-
day night, in which he claimed the state
for Mckinley by 5000 to 10000, stand un-
amended.
Leading republicans here are inclined
to regard this claim as too high, but
all think the state is safe
The betting seems to support this, as
the odds are two to one in Mckinley s
favor on the state.
The republicans have much the better
organization; in fact, it is perfect, and
Chairman Kurtz is inclined to accept the
statements of his local committeeman
rather than reports from casual observ-
ers to the effect that there are big repub-
lican defections to free silver among the
farmers and Workingmen

Votes Than They Expect.
Hartford, Conn.,, Nov. 2.-Regarding the
prospects Of the silver democrats in this
state, Chairman Troup of the state CEN
tral committee said to-day: II believe
there is fighting chance for Bryan in
Connecticut. The republican committees
are not counting on the detection from
the party. The silver republicans are an
unknown quantity, while the gold demo-
Gratis have openly declared themselves.
If the silver republicans who will vote
for Bryan outnumber the gold democrats
who have deserted and bolted the state
will give its electoral vote for Bryan.
1.-THE democrats will elect the congress-
man in the Second district, eight of the
twenty-four senators and 100 of the men,
bers of the general assembly. The silent
vote that has not declared itself will set
tie the question We expect silver repub-
licans will vote our ticket by the thou
sand and this our republican friends have
failed to calculate upon. 1t looks bright
in Connecticut"

KENTUCKY,s BIG VOTE.
Democrats and Republicans StiIl
Claiming the State.


Louisville. KY, Nov. 2-The indications
are that tomorrow Kentucky will cast
the largest vote in the history of the
state. The campaign managers of both
parties express supreme confidence in the
result. Chairman Sommers of the free
silver democratic campaign committee
admits that Bryan will lose heavily in the
blue grass district, but says that gains
IN Western Kentucky will more than off,
set these losses. Twenty-nine thousand
hve hundred and four is MIR. Sommers'
estimate of Bryans plurality outside of
Louisville, which he comedies to McISin-
ley with the reservation that the labor
vote may develop great strength.
Chairman Roberts says 1900 Is a rock
bottom estimate for McKinley's plurality.
Neither side makes any new claims on
the congressional contests.
Col. Breckenridge is going TO have a
hard fight in the Seventh district, with
the chances slightly in his favor
The weather Is clear and warm, with
indications Of fair for tomorrow.
