KANSAS.
Republicans Elect Nine Out of
Thirteen District Judges.

TOPEKA (Kans), Nov. 4.-Election
returns haye been received at Repub-
lican headquarters from 63 Kansas
counties of 105, and returns of 6S coun-
ties have been received at Populist
headquarters. While both reports agree
on large Republican gains over the vote
of 1896, they are conflicting in compar-
ison with the vote of 1895, and this
must be determined by the official
count.
The Republicans elect nine out of
thirteen District Judges, as follows:
NJ. p Simpson in the Ninth District,
r. NJ. Picker in the Fifteenth, Ansell
r. Clark in the Twentieth: r. b. Spill
man in the Twenty-first; r. F. Thomp
son in the Thirtieth; F. T. Price in the
Thirty-first; w. E. Hutchinson in the
Thirty c. w. Smith in the
Thirty fourth. and VIM Thompson in
the Thirty-fifth.
The fusionists elect these Judges:
John T. Burris, Tenth District; A c. r.
Geiger, Seventeenth; w. T. Mcbride,
Nineteenth, and J. E. Andrews, Thirty
third
About the election of these Judges
there is no dispute. The Populist man

CARPENTER WILL CONTEST.
The Third Trial Results in a Dis
agreement of the Jury.

STOCKTON, Nov. 4-The Carpenter
Bailey will contest, which has been in
the courts of this county for fourteen
years, and which was on trial for the
third time during the last nine days in
Judge Jones court, is still unsettled,
the third trial resulting in a disagree
ment of the jury, which stood eight to
four in favor of the Carpenter heirs It
required nine of the jurors to arrive at
a verdict. The jury was out all night.
Bailey and Carpenter were partners
in cattle raising and farming many
years ago, and Carpenter left his then
very valuable property to the Bailey
children. His relatives in The East then
undertook to break the will, and got

preme Court sent the case back for a

While both committees are keeping
secret any arrangements for legal pro-
ceedings, yet it is stated that the DEM
ocratic State Committee will seek to
enjoin enough certificates of election
from Republican Representatives to
prevent the Republicans organizing the
House and appointing the committee
that will consider the contests.
Developments are expected to-mor-
row in the policies of both parties, as
far as appealing to the courts is con-

UNION PACIFIC SALE MONEY.
NEW YORK BANKS APPLY FOR
THE DEPOSITS.
The Governments Share S53,S9S.-
$50, Together With the Cash
in the Sinking Fund.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-Assistant
Secretary Vanderlip has returned from.
brief visit to New York, where he ar
ranged for the transfer by the Reor-
ganization Committee of the Govern
ment's share of the purchase price Of
the Union Pacific Railroad.
| Several of the prominent New York
CITY banks have made applications for
the deposit with them of such amounts
of the purchase money as the Treasury
Department may deem necessary. in or
der that there may be no disturbance of
the money market in consequence of the
Reorganization Committees heavy
Withdrawals. The National City Bank
will accept S15.000,000 the Chase Ma
tional $4,000 600, the Hanover National
S2,0O0,000, the National Bank of the
Republic $S00,000. and the American
Exchange National and Seaboard Ma
tional 100000 each, making total of
$20, 100000.
Other banks vii also apply for con-
siderable amounts, and furnish the re-
quired indemnity bonds, should it be
deemed necessary. The fact, however.
that the Reorganization Committee has
decided to make its payments accord
l,
stead of paying the whole amount at
once, will relieve the situation very ma
terially.
According to the Treasury caIcula-
tions, the exact amount of the Govern
ment's share of the purchase money is
S5S. AS, pa. Of this amount So. .236,512
is principal outstanding. $50. $50, 1S1 in
terest due and unpaid, and 1881 $50 in

this gross sum there is a credit of S4.-
o31 ,921, representing the cash in the
sinking fund, and Sill being the
amount of the interest on the bonds in
the sinking fund due November 1st,
making q total credit of S4,549, ,36S,
which, being taken from the gross
amount of the purchase price, leaves a
balance of SJ3, ,S9S, 800.
OF this amount SS0S4, sos, less the
amount of cash in the sinking fund, will
be due in fifteen DAYS after the con-
tirmation of the sale, which is expected
10 take place within the next few days.
The second payment will be made fif-
teen days after the first, and will ag-
gregate $12, $50, ,S4S. The three remain
ing payments will be made within forty.
fifty and sixty days, respectively, from
the day of the confirmation of the sale,
and will be for ST.. .590,S4S each.

100000. Part of this amount repre-
sents the salaries and patronage Of the
other officers elected on Tuesday, but
this is comparatively small, most Of the
total representing the patronage Of
Greater New York's first Mayor, Rob-
ert A. Van Wyck.
A conservative estimate of those who
will draw payment indirectly from the
city through city contracts and the like
is $4,000. Mayor Strong, at the time
the greater city charter was passed,
estimated this force as equal to, if not
exceeding, the actual number of all Of
ficeholders.
Second only to the President of the
United States in the value of his pat
ronage, the first Mayor of the greater
city is first IN che significance of this
patronage. With his collea gues-elect

Mr.. Van Wyck can lead an army Of
officeholders, and those indirectly en-
ployed by the city, as great as the

EASTERN GRAIN MARKET.
A PANIC ON THE EXCHANGE AT
CHICAGO.
December Drops Three Cents From
the Opening Price, but Later
as Rapidly Receivers.

CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-Wheat opened
firm at shade above yesterdays clos
ing price. Liverpool was stronger than
expected, showing but 3sd decline, while
Paris was up 30 centimes in the face
of yesterdays 1850 break here. Light
local receipts We're a sustaining in
fiuence.
Shortly after the opening, at which
time December was quoted at 9214c, the
market was struck with one of those
extraordinary panics that every once in
awhile knock into smithereens calcula-
tions based on the sanity of operators.
The panic was apparently the result of
an unskillful arrangement for the SELL
ing out of line of 2oO, 600 bushels of
December wheat, upon which the hold
er had placed with his brokers stop
loss limit, when he bought it two days
previously.
To insure the prompt execution of the
order to stop the loss at a certain price.
the brokers, in anticipation of its reach
ing it to-day, divided the amount among
ten or more agents, and of course when
the market got within 1-16 of the limit,
what appeared to be a general selling
panic by the crowd, it became impossi-
BILE to get rid Of any until the market
had dropped Sc from the opening price
of December.
May also suffered, but not nearly so
much, that option declining to 91asc,
about a cent under the opening prices.
Buying orders were quickly distributed
among a number of active brokers by
George B. French, supposed to be the
leader of the bull clique, through whose
efforts the market was mended in an
even shorter time than it had taken to
smash it. December had run down to
92c, but it advanced to 9oc without a
stop.
Receipts at Chicago included 116 car
loads by rail and cargo of 70. 1000
bushels by lake from Duluth Mime

The Atlantic port clearances were
again very heavy-T60. 900 bushels. New
York advices were very bullish as re-
CARDS the number of boat loads said
to have been worked for export on the
early decline, claims being made of as
many as ninety-five loads, or $50 600
bushels.
The market was very unsettled after
its early break and rapid recovery, but
it made no more SUCH wild sbips The
tendency was to sink, and even the re-
ported taking of total of 132 boat
loads at New York and outports failed
to hold it up. December wobbled be-
tween 94l4 and 943sc, but it closed at
94c. as against 95Ac yesterday. May
