NEW YORK STATE.

New York, Nov. 2.-Rain which pre- vailed generally all over the state had the effect of keeping great many of the country voters away from the polls. The result is apparent in the reduced majorites given in concededly repub- lican districts to William J. Wallace, the republican nominee for chief judge of court of appeals, as compared with the pluralities by which the same dis tricts were carried last year. In many instances the pluralities of year ago are reduced nearly one-half and in a few that have been reported is the fall ing off less than % per cent. Conceding to Judge Parker, democrat majority of 100000 in Greater New York, it is probable that he has won in the state.
 The returns for assemblymen are en- tireIy lacking in the Greater New York district owing to the large number of candidates whose votes must be count ed before the assembly nominees are reached and the results here will prob ably not be known until tomorrow. Outside of Greater New York, with thirteen districts to be heard from, dispatches to the Associated Press show the election of 61 republicans and + democrats. This, it is believed, in- sures the continuance of republican control of the assembly whatever may be the result in the Greater New York districts.
 The indications are that the demo- crats have a small majority of the members of the state assembly. In the greater city, it is estimated from very | meagre returns, the representation will be fifty-one democrats and ten repub- licans, while in the upper part of the state there are said to have been changes from republicans to democrats in twenty districts. In the last assem-
 bly, the republicans had majority of
 seventy eight. Conceding all that is claimed by the democrats the next house will have ten democratic major ity. State senators were not elected this year.
 Other estimates give a republican majority in the assembly of three. Estimates of the majority of Parker dem, for chief judge of the court of appeals, range all the way from 35,O0C
 to 5O,OOO.

FAY OFFS NEARLY FINISHED.
Entire Police Force Will be on Duty by
 November 10.

President Ullman announced at the meeting of the police commissioners held last night that by close figuring the savings in the department would be sufficient to carry through the remain der of this year by laying off the men only two days each during the month of November, instead of one week each, as has been done every month for some time. MT. Ullman stated that the en- tire force would probably be on duty by November 10.
 The efficiency committee recommend ed that Patrolnan John McQueeney be promoted from grade B to grade A. McQueeny was eligible for promotion at the last meeting but under the new rules of the board such matters must be first referred to the efficiency conn., mittee before final action in taken by the commissioners. Commissioner Hu- binger stated that he had been unable to find any reasons why McQueeney should not be promoted. Superinten- dent Wrinn said that John McQueeney was one of the best men on the force. The board then voted to promote him. | the promotion to date from November l. | The report of the civil service com | mission on the examination of candi- dates for appointment on the police force | was read by the clerk, accepted and placed on file. President Ullman re- marked that the report was one of the | best ever transmitted to the board by the civil service commission in respect to the standing attained by the appli- cants in their examinations. The men
 examined with their standing are: Os-

STAINS WARNING TO US
I'VE MUST NOT FURTHER VIOLATE
 INTERNATIONAL LAW.

This Is Her Main Grievance--Her Note
 Courteous, but Insists Upon More Rigor-
 ous Measures Being Employed to Pres
 vent Filibustering-Madrid Papers Say
 Our Vessels May be Searched.
 Madrid, Nov. 2.-Marshal Blanco, the new captain general of Cuba, has sent a cable message to the Spanish gov- ernment saying he has formed favor able opinion regarding the prospects for the pacification of Cubs.
 A semi official note was circulated to-day giving more exact indication of the contents of the Spanish note, in reply to the communication of the United States on the subject of Cuba than has hitherto been published. It says the note of Spain consists of twen- ty-eight pages of folio. The first part of the reply is paraphrase of the note of the United States minister, General Wopdford. and 1t concludes with the assurance that Spain is animated by the same friendly feeling as expressed in behalf of the United States.
 The second part of the reply goes into elaborate details concerning the various filibustering expeditions which are said to have left the United States for Cuba, which details are based en- tirely upon the report of MT. Calderon Carlisle, the former counsellor of the Spanish legation at Washington. Spain. in concluding that portion of her re- ply to the United States, expresses the hope that this phase of the situation will be changed and that the United States will try to prevent further vio- lations of international law"
 Replying to the offer of mediation made by the United States, Spain Says she hopes the United States will act 'loyally and correctly in helping Spain to pacify Cuba, especially in view of the fact that an extended form of autonomist government is about to be sincerely granted"
 The general feeling here is more hopeful of a peaceful outcome of the situation, especially since Marshal Blanco's arrival at Havana, as it is believed his presence will greatly fur ther the solving of the Cuban problem. At the same time it is pointed out that the submissions of the insurgents can not be expected unless they are en- tirely abandoned by the United States"
 Havana, Nov Especial dispatches received here from Madrid say that the recent magazine articles of Mr. Han- his Taylor the former minister of the United States at Madrid, on Cuban af- fairs, has produced an unpleasant feel ing at the Spanish capital and it is added that the belief prevails there that the government will be compelled to in- tervene in this affair.
 The Imparcial says: tIt is very strange that the Three Friends should leave the United States engaged in lawful trade and yet have a govern ment official on board as a guarantee of the legality of her voyage. It may eb a trick of the United States govern ment to incite Spain to exercise the right of search, which is always liable to bring about diplomatic complica- l tionS."

KENTUCE Y.

Louisville, Ky, Nov. 2.-Returns from the state are meagre and un- official at this hour. These show that Shackelford, silver democratic nominee for clerk of the court of appeals, is leading Bailey, rep. The national dem- ocratic vote was light, though trust worthy figures will be late. A conser- vative estimate at il o'clock tonight places the majority of Charles P. Weaver. democratic candidate for mayor, over George D. Todd at from 5000 to $500
 Contrary to the expectation of many the election was comparatively quiet. There is no doubt about the constitu- tional amendments carrying in Louis vile.

 Columbus, O., Nov. 2.-Since mid- night the following was given out from the republican state headquarters:
 ''To the Associated Press-I think Bushnell has been reelected governor by from 12,O0O to 15,OOo plurality. We have elected fifty-four of the 109 repre- sentatives and seventeen of the thirty six state senators certain, assuring us Il votes on the joint ballot, 73 votes be- ing necessary to elect a senator. We have twelve doubtful counties unheard from, in which we expect to elect twelve more republicans. There are three more doubtful senatorial districts un- heard from, in which five state senators are to be elected and from which we will certainly elect three senators. We claim the election of the entire repubn- can state ticket and a majority in each branch of the general assembly.

 Columbus, O., Nov. 2.-The democrat ic state committee claims the election of their state ticket by from to 10000 plurality and a majority of the legisla- ture on joint ballot for United States senator No figures were given on the thirty-six state senators and 109 rep resentatives. but 1t was claimed that the republican loss of fourteen members of the legislature in Hamilton county would insure democratic control of the legislature. The democrats also claimed the twelve members of | the legislature from Cuyahoga coun- ty, which includes Cleveland the home of Senator Hanna. The republicans at this hour do not concede the loss of the state or the control of the legisla- ture, but admit that the result will be close on both. Owing to the conditions of the roads, the bicycle couriers are having trouble in rendering the prompt service that was expected from the rural precincts.
 Cleveland, O., Nov. 2.-The Leader says: Governor Bushnell has carried Ohio by a majority from 10000 to 25,- GOO. This insures the election of re- publican majority in the general assem- bly and the return of Marcus A. Hanna to the United States senate. In this city and county the republican ticket has majority of from four to five thousand, but three republican senators and representatives from this county are elected.
