side the hotel, Madison Suqare and the streets branching from it were packed with cheering, noisy crowds, watching the election returns bull letined by the newspapers. It was a great contrast to the silent little gathering of republicans in the parlor
 Whatever might have been the re- suit had Henry George survived the campaign, the election from the earli- est returns showed that the substitu- Jion of the son for father as the may orally candidate of the Thomas Jeff ferson democracy, had proved a fail ure from any but a sentimental point of view. In fact, Georges candidacy had made but a beggarly showing, scarcely five per cent of the vote in New York city counted before s o'clock having been cast for the son of the author of Progress and Pow erty.''
 The George vote possibly suffered by the failure of the supervisors of elections to supply a large number of precinct with pastors to attach to the voting papers. The law requires that in event of the death of a candidate before the date of election and after voting papers have bean printed there shall be printed and supplied to each precinct pastors upon which is printed the name of the original nominea The diStri hI1tinn roaa -p cases.

 Albany, N Y-Estimates of votes on chief justice of the court of appeals, based on returns from New York, Kings and Queens counties, lead to the belief at 8 o'clock that Judge Parker, Dem., will come up to the Harlem with 6O,OO0 plurality and that Wallace, Rep, can hardly meet him with enough votes from up the state to win, as the republican p1uralities last year for Black are almost cut in two. Five hundred election precincts in the boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx give Wallace 40,537; Parker. ST ,506.

New York, Nov. 2.-Tammany's vic tory in the first municipal election in Greater New York is a surprising one. The only question that remains to be settled at Il o'clock is the size of the pluralities by which the entire ticket headed by Revert A. Van Wyck, has carried the gigantic municipality. It can scarcely be less than 60,000 and may be larger than that.
 Van Wyck has boiled vote which falls possibly 10000 under the com bined votes of Tracy, republican, and Low, Citizens union. The latter was successful to the extent of polling an aggregate vote in excess of the 140,- 900 pledged by the signatures to the petition upon which he became the candidate of an independent organiza- tion which at the outset offered to join hands with the republican party organization in a concerted effort to exclude Tammany from power in the greater city which will come into be- ing on January 1, 1898, with a popula tion second in magnitude to none Of the great cities of the world.
 The offer was declined on the ground that in such movement the republican organization would pa1tici- pate only conjointly with the other party to the compact. The Citizens union on the other hand refused to recall its nomination of MT. Low in order that the form of selecting can didate might be carried out con- jointly with the republican organize tion.
 The total number of votes cast was not far either way from half a mil lion. The indications are that Var Wyck received 233, ,752, Low, 146,S ,S21; Tracy, 1O0,99S, and George 2O,3S6. The aggregate is swelled by few thousand votes cast for Gleason, independent democrat; Daniel, socialist, and Ward we'll prohibitionist. On the city ticket with Judge Van Wyck, Byrd Coler is elected comptroller, and Randolph Guggenheim, president of the munich pal council
 F. A RULER OF MILLIONS.
 The headquarters of Robert A. Van Wyck at the Bartoldf hotel, was the scene of great joy as the returns be- gan to indicate sweeping Tammany victory. A score or more of people were in the rooms where the returns were being received They cheered lustily. But it was a feast without a host.
 Mayor-eGect Van Wyck did not ap- pear at the headquarters at any time during the night. At 10 o'clock his secretary announced that MT. Van Wyck would not be at his headquar- ters and could not be seen.
 WOE IN THE OTHER CAMP.
 New York, Nov 2.-Lemuel E. Quigg of the city and county com mittee went sadly upstairs at the Fifth Avenue hotel leading to the state headquarters, at half past eight, and looked in through the door, then he turned and walked out again.
 What do you think the outcome will be-" was asked of him.
 ''It seems to be all an outgo," he replied, with an effort to smile.
 Senator Platt remained in his apart ments and declined to be seen. Out

IT WAS CLOSE IN OHIO.
But Both State and Legislature Be
 lieved to Be Republican

Columbus, O., Nov. 2-The result in Ohio is so close that it may require an official count to determine it. espe- cially as to the political complexion of the legislature. Republicans and democrats are both claiming the sta;e and legislature with such persistence that it will require an official count at least to get one or the other to con- cede defeat.
 Incomplete returns indicate the cleo tion of the republican state ticket by about 10000. but the result on the legislature is so close that no definite figures can be made tonight. The democrats have gained in all cities largely except in Cleveland

TROUBLE ANTICIPATED.

Military and Naval Attaches to Madrid
Will Leave Their Families Behind.
WASHINGTON, July 6.-There was
quite furry of interest in the Cuban
question in town when it became known
that Secretary Alger had intimated to
Captain Taskar r. Bliss, who will
shortly go to Madrid as military at
tache to the American legation there,
that it would be inadvisable to take
Mrs Bliss and her children with him,
because of the possibility of trouble
Lieutenant George l.. Dyer, the naval
Rttache, also proposes to go to Madrid
unaccompanied by any member of his
family. These developments are gen.
orally accepted as an indication that the
administration expects more or less ex-
element at Madrid during the coming
autumn, or as soon as Minister Wood
ford shall have had opportunity to pre-
sent the demands of this government to
the Spanish court. 1t also developed
that Consul General Lee is expected to
arrive in Washington during the next
two weeks. He will not return to Cuba.
General Lees home coming will be in
season to admit of consultation between
him and General Woodford.

THE ORDER OBEYED
OHIO, ILLINOIS AND PENNSYLVANIA
MINERS QUIT WORK.

Exact Number on Strike Not Known,
but Is Placed at About 200, 600 Officials
of the Miners Union Confident of a
Successful Outcome.
COLUMBUS, O., July 5.-Telegrams re-
eeived by President Ratchford of the
United Mine Workers, indicate that the
order for general strike of the miners
has been complied with generally
throughout the mining districts of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and Western Pennsyl-
vania, and in sections of West Virginia
and Kentucky. 1t will take several
Gays, however, to determine with any
degree of accurateness the number of
men involved. President Ratchford
roughly estimates the number at 200, 900,
but this is regarded as very liberal. He
is pleased with the unanimity shown by
the miners, and says that he has the
greatest confidence in the successful
outcome of the strike. He thinks the
Prospects Are Better Than in 1894,
when general strike was inaugurated.
AT that time the scale of prices was be-
ing paid in many mining localities, not
ably West Virginia, where majority
of the miners continued at work and
thereby greatly weakened the strike
He has hopes that the West Virginia
miners may now be brought into line,
inasmuch as they are receiving wages
far below the scale and their condition
is not any better than that of the min.
ers in other states.
President Ratchford has received tele-
grams from a number OF Pittsburg
operators asking permission to operate
their mines at scale prices. These re-
quests are all emphatically refused as it
would work an injustice not only to
other operators but their miners as well.
AS to the probable duration of the strike
President Ratchford says that will be
Governed Entirely by Circumstances.
It will last several weeks at least. The
miners are in better position to with
stand long strike at this time, as a
great many of them have garden prod
ucts on which to subsist, and there will
be no great hardships entailed such as
would follow strike in the winter
The Ohio operators have not yet held a
conference to consider the matter, but
are considerably worried. While they
say the strike is ill-timed and likely to
fzzle out, they will close down their
mines for short time, at least, until
they can determine how general the sus-
pension is. A partial suspension only
in the Pittsburg district would be ruin
Gus to their business, should the Ohio
miners refuse to work.

MILWAUKEE, July 6.-The annual
convention Of the National Educational
association, for which several thousand
teachers have already arrived, was ush-
cred in during the day by a session of
the national council of education.
At the afternoon meeting the time

sioner of Education W. T. Harrie,
after which general discussion was

At the evening session a paper was
read by George P. Brown, editor of The
State Journal Of Bloomington, Els, in
which recommendations were made for
the amendment of the constitution and
bylaws of the council so that subjects
besides those now laid down in the by
laws may be discussed at the meetings
of the council. After stormy debate
the subject was referred to a special
committee of five to report at the next

Race With Pennsylvania and Columbia
Very Disappointing.
PoUGHKEEPsIE, N. Y, July 3.-The
contest between the SCARED crews Of
Cornell, Pennsylvania and Columbia
was an easy victory for Cornell. The
race, which had been heralded as prom
Using close and exciting finish, and
which each college coach declared would
be a record breaking contest, turned
out to be the merest sort of a procession
and an apology for a race. 1t is true
that the water conditions were not
favorable to fast time, but the lightest
crew on the river and the one less
likely to be able to stand the swells
caused by the wind blowing against the
tide came out of the contest an easy
winner. The heaviest crew, Pennsyl-
vania, found its boat washed full of
water before the second mile was
reached, and after passing that point
was compelled to retire from the con-
test. Columbia finished the race, but
was eight lengths behind the winner.

ErOspvcts That There VIII BE Good
Crop In the Northwest.
ST. PAUL, July g. Nothing in wealth
er conditions throughout the Northwest
has occurred during the week to dis
turb the excellent prospects for a large
crop of good quality. The week has
been very favorable in Minnesota, with
abundant showers, we'll distributed,
opening with heavy, soaking rain
Sunday and warm, variable days for
the rest of the week, Wheat is report
ed as looking well throughout this state
and in the Dakotas. In South Dakota
reports seem to indicate ample moisture
as result of the rains, but more show
ers would not come amiss in some local
tiles. Early sown spring wheat in all
three states is reported to be heading
out well, and in most cases heading
long. Very few reports of damage by
hail have come in as yet, though some
portions of South Dakota have been
visited. The only minor note sounded
during the week were scattering reports
of slight damage by rust and the prev
alence or fears IN some SSectlonS Gnat
rapid growth of wheat on rich soils
might weaken the stalks and increase
the danger OF lodging.
The Market Record thinks if no &C
cident happens there ought to be more
than 200, O00,0 900 bushels harvested in
Minnesota and the Dakotas. Allowing
10000, 900 bushels for the other spring
wheat states and about 100000, 900 of
winter wheat, which is now practically
assured, the outlook is for a crop for
this country of 575,0OO,OoO bushels of
wheat.
