NATIONAL POLITICS.
A CLOSE CONTEST.

Chicago. Correspondent Stealey, of
the Washington Post, writes his paper
the following:
I believe that the candidate who re-
ceives the majority of tho labor vote Of
the country will be the next president,
and the question is how is that vote 60
ing. It Is the great factor, in fact, the
sole arbiter, in the contest. The pre-.
ponderance of open, expressed opinion
is that Mckinley will be overwhelmingly
elected. Especially is this so in the gold
atm os phere of this section of the country.
But there are men and good politicians
who believe that the contest between Bry-
an and Mckinley will be mostly sectional
and exceedingly close. Two men of this
kind who in previous campaigns have
been prominent as chief managers of
their party interests, each being attached
to the national committees, one Demo-
crat and the other Republican, reside
in this city. For two weeks have been
comparing notes with these two dis
gentlemen, and the following
table Of estimates (begging the pardon
of Hanna, Quay, Grosvenor, Butler and
other far famed lightning calculators of
the claim-it-al brigade for the infring-
ment) will show the opinion formed by
these gentlemen, who have tried to view
the situation from an impartial stand
point:

SEPAR ROBBED AGAIN.
story Of the Second Successful Raid
OF Bandits on the Village or Separ
in Grant County.

Last Tuesday evening, about O'Clock,
two men held up the entire population
at Separ, this county, and took every
available thing in sight. One of the men
was recognized as "Black jack" and the
other, it is said, was none other than JEFF
Davis, both of whom belong to the famous
Nogales and Separ gang of bandits, says
the Deming Headlight.
The robbers first entered the telegraph
and express station, robbed the operator
and pumpman, marched them to the
boarding house, relieved the inmates of
all their available cash, making them get
into position in the procession, marched
from there to j. D. Weens store, where
there were about eight armed cow
boys. "Black Jack" and his first lieuten-
ant disarmed the cowboys, borrowed all
their loose change and then turned their
attention to Col. Robert Millikep, post
master and assistant in the store, who,
making some resistance, received an ugly
scalp wound from the back end of a gun,
the front end of which was held by
one of the bandits, which convinced him
that his proper place was in line with the
operator, pumpman, lodging-house keep
er and cowboys.
After securing about 800 in money,
lot of whiskey, tobacco, cigars and mer.
chandise, the bandits gave the order TO
march, and, what proved to be, the entire
population of Separ was marched about
two miles from the depot, when the rob-
bers mounted their horses, which were
stationed there, and, after bidding the
citizens fond farewell, departed. When
the passenger tram, going west, pulled
into the station, the crowd was just re-
turning from their forced march into the
country.
Frank McGlinchy and Steve Brchfeld,
of this city, and two deputy United States
marshals, who were in this section from
the northern portion of the territory,
started Wednesday for Separ to take up
the trail of the robbers, but up to the
time of going to press no arrests have
been reported.

FIGHTING in CUBA.
Conflicting Reports Regarding Ma
ceO's Crossing Military Line-His
Repulse Denied.

Havana, Nov. 2.-The report that An.
tonic Maceo crossed the military line,
after attacking Artimesa and being ,e-
pulsed with great loss, according to the
official account, is again denied.
It Is stated that the insurgents upon
that occasion acted without unison, dis
obeyed orders, made no attack upon the
forts and we're unable to capture the
Spanish incumbents.
Maceo, the day after bombarding Arti-
mesa, in conversation with the manager
of firm near Mungas, Pinar del Rio, de.
plored the loss his forces sustained and
admitted that it was no easy matter to
cross the military line.
The Spanish forces are slowly occupy
ing the positions that Macso may have
intended to use and he is said to be rest
ing in order to care for the wounded.
The Spanish troops are continuing
their advance westward toward the insur-
gent strongholds without receiving any
assistance from the troops stationed
along the military line, which is being
still further strengthened.
HAVANA WILL BE BEsIEGED.
New York.-A dispatch to the Herald

role of prophet, the Herald could posi-.
lively announce that Havana would be
besieged by Maximo Gomez within the
next sixty days. To that end he said that
Gomez and all the rebel forces were now
marching westward toward the capital.

have all the other men in the territory.
He has crippled and delayed more mining
