Clise's Withdrawal.

Rumors that Mr.. elise had sent a letter
asking his supporters to withdraw his
name as a candidate for mayor were circu-
lated about town yesterday afternoon, and
when the council met in the evening the
fight would be ended 1t was this fact that
drew together curious crowd of men In
the lobby of the council chamber. The
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1897-11-20

For the second time since the election OF
Frank d. Black in the memorable munich
pal campaign OF 1896 the people Of the city
of Seattle will wake up this morning 10
find themselves possessed of a new mayor.
The council last night ended the long
deadlock over the mayoralty by electing
ex-Judge Thomas ]. Humes 10 fill the un-
expired term OF Mayor Black. 1t required
ten ballots last night-sxty-five in ALTO
end the controversy. Before the baiioting
began II. r. elise. who had been the
favored candidate OF five members Of the
city council. withdrew from the race. leav-
ing the field to Atkinson and Humes.
During the early ballots it was seen that
the Atkinson men and the supporters OF
Judge Humes had a clear majority OF the
council, no other candidate appearing 10
take the place of Mr.. elise.
A survey of the balloting reveals indica-
tions OF an understanding between the
Hunes and Atkinson men by which each
candidate was to be given two chances at
the prize, and was then TO give way TO the
other for an equal show But two OF Judge
Huines' supporters evidently did not stay
by the arrangement, II such there really
was, for when Atkinson's vote crawled up
TO five there 1t would stick. and two votes
would be registered for Humes.
On the ballots when Humes' strength
would be shown. the other Republican
members who did not favor him scattered
their votes In promiscuous style.
Mayor-elect Humes learned OF his cleo
tion few minutes after the council had
adjourned. He accepted the congratula-
lions of his friends in a matter-cf-faet sort
of way. saying that he had not expected
to be elected, bat would do the best he
could TO fill the office. To all inQuirers
Mayor-elect Humes declined to express
himself particularly as TO his course as the
city's executive officer saying that he
would not announce his policy until he had
had time TO examine into the various mu-
ncipal problems that are presented.
II Is probable that Mayor-eiect Humes
will be sworn in this morning. or as soon
as the preliminary formallsies can be at
tended To.

EvANoELlNA IN NEW YORK.
The Cuban Heroine Arrived From Ha-
yana on the steamer Seneca.

The Cuban Heroine Arrived From Ha-
ysna on the steamer Seneca.
New York, Oct. 1s.-Evangelina Cis-
neros, who recently escaped from
Spanish prison in Cuba, was passen-
ger on the Ward line steamer Seneca,
which arrived today from Havana.
Miss Cisneros asked to be excused from
saying anything about her imprisoa-
ment and escape, On the passenger list
she was registered ~ Miss Juana Sola.
She was travelling under the care of q
gentleman who accompanied her from
Havana, Several newspaper reporters
and four women went alongside the
steamer, and after the health officers
inspection was over they accompanied
Miss Cisneros to this city.
Miss Cisneros' escape and safe arrival
on the Seneca was one OF the most dar-
ing teats ever attempted ana success
fully carried out. On Saturday, when
the Seneca was to leave Havana, detec-
tives watched the gangways with extra
caution. Their vigilance would prob
ably have prevented the departure OF
Miss Cisneros from Cuba had it not
been for refreshments, including wine,
served them by friends OF Miss Cisneros
aboard the Seneca.
A few minutes before the Seneca
was ready to sail, slim young fellow
came running across the wharf. He
had no baggage and was fashionably
dressed. The detectives stopped Inn.
MY name is Juan Sola," he said.
and he showed his passport, Every
thing was satisfactory. So the senior
was allowed to go aboard. 1t is said if
it had not been for the wine, the
strange figure of Senior Sola might have
aroused suspicion.
Miss Cisneros friends, when they
saw everything was satisfactory, disem-
barked and watched the ship pull out,
carrying the fugitive to safety under
the stars and stripes.

EUROPEAN CROP SHORTAGE.
Agricultural Department Summarizes
the Situation.

Washington, Oct. l8.-The monthly
report OF the agricultural department
on the European crop condition, sum
marizing the crop reports Of European
correspondents TO Statistician Hyde has
been made public. The following is an
abstract:
Recent information, while IL may in
some cases modify the crop estimates
for particular countries, does not essen
italy change the situation as regards
the deficiency in the principal crops Of
Europe. The outlook TOR wheat in the
Australasian countries continues good,
but the prospects in Argentina are
somewhat less bright, owing to the
drought and frosts. Accounts from In
dia are quite favorable, both as to the
Kharif crops harvested or to be harvest
ed this fall, and as to the seeding Of
the Rabi crop to be harvested next
spring, which latter includes the wheat
crop.
The aanual estimate of the world g
wheat crop issued by the Hungarian
ministry Of agriculture gives the follow
ing revised results for 1897, compared
with 1896:
Wheat production OF importing coun-
tries, 500, III 900 for 1897; 886, $50, 900
for 1896.
Wheat production Of exporting coun-
tries, 1897, i,34i ,S06, 900; 1895, i,452,-
902, 900.
Total wheat production Of both i'm
porting and exporting countries in 1897,
2,142, ,577. 900; in 1895, 2,238. 541 900
bushels.
Net deficit, 1897, 202, ,s95, 900 bush
els; 1896, 1870, ,534, 900.
Extremely pessimistic reports as to
the extent Of the crop failure in Russia
have been circulated, but the liberal
quantities Of wheat coming forward for
shipment have led dealers to receive
such reports with incredulity. 1t is
probable, however, that much Of the
Russian grain going to Western Euro
pean markets is out Of the more liberal
harvests OF former years, and there is
evidence there going to show that the
crop Of 1897 is at any rate considerably
below the average.
Consul Eugene Germain, OF Zurich,
Switzerland, after an investigation of
the European fruit prospects, expressed
the opinion that there will be a good
market for American apples and dried
fruits this season if growers would be
careful to put up choice stock only.
He says:
Nothing smaller than eight cases in
French prunes will pay to ship to
Europe. and all other dried fruits must
be uniform in size and attractiyely
packed"
