VALUABLE PROPERTY INVOLVED.
Claims to st. Paul Land Before the
Supreme Court.

Supreme Court.
In the Supreme Court of the United
States this morning the case of Elizabeth
Wetzel ct al. VS.. the Minnesota Transfer
Railway Company was called and set for
argument later in the term, Senator C. Il.
Davis appearing for the appeilees and
Philip w. Avieti of North Carolina for the
appellants.
In amount involved thus is one of the
most important cases on the docket. The
appellants, as widow and heirs-at-law Of
Jacob Remsen, claim title to 16o acres of
lard in the heart of st. Paul, Mimi, of
the estimated value of $4,00O.OOO.
The case is novel; as the appellants claim
that the defendants could take no title
in the lands they have occupied since 1o4o,
because the act of Congress of 1Si7, which
has never been construed, and under which
the land warrant on which their land was
located was issued, provided that no as
signnlent or sale of it can be valid. unless
made by a decree of an orphans court,
which they claim was never made in their
case.
The case will be fought vigorously by
number of western railways who use the
transfer companys properties.

BALTIMORE, Nd, November. 2-The
polls opened this morning during a perfect
deluge of rain that appears to have extend
ed to all parts of the state, and effectually
checked the voting in the first hour or two.
1t also had tendency to keep the party
workers away from the polling places, and
the result was one of the quietest times
ever seen here on such an occasion. At s
o'clock the skies cleared up bit and the
Indications at that hour pointed to the poll
ing of very large vote, both in the city
and in the county, with the result in doubt.
Both parties issued manifestos last night,
in which each claimed a sweeping victory,
the republicans placing the probable ma
jority for their ticket at 10000 in the city
and 10000 in the state. The democrats. on
the other hand, claimed 1900 in the city
and 10000 in the state.
AS to the legislature. which will elect a
successor to United States Senator German,
both democrats and republicans express the
utmost confidence that they will carry it.
In addition to the legislature, a state con-

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CLEVELAND. Ohio, November 2.-In this
city reports indicate that the Hanna legis-
lative ticket is being cut slightly. This
report comes chiefly from the Newburg
district. which is a manufacturing section.
Mayor McKisson is very strong in that
quarter, and 1t is thought that whatever
cutting there is has been inspired by the
mayor, who Is an enemy of Senator Hanna.
The vote began coming out during the
morning. and 1t begins to look as though
the full quota would be polled. There is
fight being made here on Mr.. Hanna, but
it is believed that the senator will pull
through. Reports from northern Ohio In
dicats that full vote is being cast through
out this section of the state. despite the
heavy rain.
The board Of elections reports some
scratching of the legislative ticket in many
quarters. Interest In the contest seemed to
wane as the day grew older. The weather
is stormy and disagreeable. A steady rain
Is falling, and has been for twenty-four
hours.

1890 o'clock this morning. He went at
once to precinct OF ward Al, and voted
the straight republican ticket. In response
