Washington, Nov. Consul Burg,
at chihuahua. Mex, says in q report
to the state department that the mer-
camille business there is in the hands
of the Germans and French. There has
been a falling off in imports, the
greatest decline being in cotton tex

decreased.
Commercial Agent Hamilton. at
Morrisburg, Ont, in a report to the

for the present necessarily stopped
trade, but this viii only be temporary.

ton adds: Reciprocity is the cry of

THE RED Man IS A CITIZEN
DECISION WHICH MAY AFFECT
UTAH's FUTURE.
North Dakota Court Holds That In
dams Owning Patented Lands In
Severalty Are Electors.

Bismarck, n. d, Nov. 1.-THE SUI
preme court has filed decision in the
case of Fort Lotten Indians who have
taken lands in severalty within Benson
county and who applied to the commits
sioners of that county before the last
election fer the establishment of
polling place, claiming that they We're
entitled to a vote. The commissioner
refused to establish a polling place and
the Indians took the case to the dis
trict court. Judge Morgan ordered the
polling place and the commissioners ap-
pealed to the supreme court. That tri-
burial sustains Judge Morgan and de-
cides that the Indians who have taken
lands in severalty and have received
preliminary patents are electors and
that the provision of the state code
which requires them to have final pat
ents from the government is unconsti-
tutiOnal.
There are about 300 Indians in Ben
son county who will be entitled to vote
under this ruling and if their vote is
cast solid it will practically control
elections in that county.

BOTH PARTIES CONFIDENT.
But Nebraska Republicans Must Run
Against Fusion Field.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. Political man
ayers for both parties in this city ex-
press supreme confidence as to the re-
suit Of tomorrow's battle. Even with
their admirabl organization and per-
feet harmony in their ranks, the Re
puhiicans must, nevertheless. face a
compact fusion of all elements favor
able 10 free silver. which a year ago
carried the state by 1000 plurality.
The National Democrats and Prohibi-
tiOnists are not a serious factor in the
race, and tonight it is given out that
an understanding exists whereby the
National Democrats will vote almost
solidly for the Republican nominees.
Added to this is the fact that the last
day of the registration in the cities
brought out an Unexpectedly large en-
rollment, which Republicans claim is a
good augury. Fusionists deny this. and
insist that, having made most aggTes-
siye campaign. their followers are most
interested. and the larger the vote the
better their chances. The blanket bal
lot is to be tested for the first time to-
morrow. and the effect. it is believed
Will be to greatly delay the returns.
W. J. Bryan made his final speech III
behalf OF the fusion ticket today and

Old Miner Says the Horrors of the

an experienced miner. who left for the
Klondike Aug. last, in company with
A. B. Ferguson, a prominent Kansas
Cityan, has returned here. after reach
ing Lake Bennett, $50 miles from Daw-
son City.
The horrors of the Skaguay trail are
very much exaggerated. said Mr..
Cave, in an interview, and the only
trials and tribulations people may have
there are due to the fact that the people
are inexperienced. 1 have known men
to travel in palace car to Seattle. take
steamer to Skaguay, and. with no
knowledge whatever of mountain life
or camping out, start out on the trail
Such people cannot cook, and do not
know how to pack or make life easy.
These people send out the reports of

Mr.. Cave says that part of the time
he was with Sylvester Scoville. the

band. He will go back to the gold
country next spring, he says. after he

less cash in the treasury, amounting to
81, 02O 563, sol, an increase for the month
of $S,441, 1873.
This increase is principally accounted
for by the decrease in the amount of
cash on hand. The debt is recapitulated
as follows: Interest bearing debt, $S47,
S65,5G0; debt on which interest has
ceased since maturity. $1,331, $40; debt

Gates and treasury notes outstanding,
which are offset by an equal amount
of cash in the treasury.

dy equal to $4,000 per mile for that
portion Of the line between the Missouri
river and the base of the Rocky noun
tainS; $4,000 mile for the distance Of
$50 miles through the mountain range;
$50, 900 per mile for the distance inter-
mediate between the Rocky and Sierra
Nevada ranges, and $4,000 per mile for
a distance of $50 miles through the
Sierra Nevada. The company had also
a land grant 1qualling 1880 acres to
the mile.
The original act provided that the
government subsidy should be a first
mortgage on the road, but by amend
ment it was made a second mortgage
the company being authorized to issue
its own bonds TO an amount equal TO
the governments loan as a first mort
gage on the line. The whole available
capital of the road that was ultimately
to cost S50,000,00O was only $21S,000.
The government had offered in sub
sides more than the cost of construction
of the road, and Cakes Ames of Easton,
Mass, who was interested in the build
ing of the road, formed a corporation
which became known as THE Credit
MObilier of America" which was to re-
ceive all the profits of the constructors,
and divide them among the stockhOld-
ers in the Credit Mobilier. The profits
were enormous, amounting to S43, $685..

Under the Ames contract alone. and
within one year. dividends were paid

The Republicans say thew can lose 1000
votes compared with last year, count
ing 25000 only as the Democratic loss. and
they win sim have the 10000 plurality
claimed by their chairman.
Chairman Walsh of the Democratic
committee is claiming that his party will
lose no votes. but will gain some from the
gold Democrats. He says the Republicans
last year polled 10000 votes in excess of
their normal vote, which was 10000 at
nigh water mark until last year. He
thinks those 10000 votes Were largely gold
Democrats and that those win this year
mostly vote for their party ticket.
Messrs. Shaw and White, the two STAN
darG bearers. closed their campaigns to-
night in discussing the free silver and the
gold standard issues in Iowa. The gold
Democrats claim 1900 to 10000 votes. The

that after the high tide of last year there
is no telling by politicians what viii hap

Beginning With Whitney's Scheme
In 1915 and Ending Today.
Omaha, Nov. 1.-The idea of uniting
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts by a
system of railways is said to have been
given public expression in the Emil
grant, weekly paper published at Ann
Arbor, Mich from Nov Is. 1929 to De-
cember 1884 The article advocating the
railroad appeared Feb. 6. 1892, and it
was eagerly taken UP and discussed by
various newspapers and periodicals.
A. Whitney, merchant Of New York.
who had travelled in Europe, China and
Japan considerably. was most promi-
nent in urging the project. The aim
and object of his life was the building
of a railroad from Lake Michigan or
the Mississippi to the Pacific coast He
first brought the problem to the notice
of congress in a memorial presented
by him to the senate on Jan. 4. 1S45.
Whitney spent all his time and most
of his money on the scheme, and wound
up by selling milk in the city of Wash
ington for a livelihood.
A bill that passed the senate June 90

KEYSTONE STATE.
Democrats Content With Making a
Good Showing.


Philadelphia, Nov. 1.-The campaign
just closing has been exceptionally
quiet. the only feature having been the
aggressive canvass of DR.. Swallow. the
prohibition candidate for state treas
urer. which has been wholly on the
lines of reform in politics, with little
or no reference to the liquor question.
The state officers to be chosen are state
treasurer and auditor general. In 1895
Haywood, Republican, for state treas
urer. had a plurality of 174.264 in a to-
tai vote of 7e9 1876. The prohibition vote
was 220.779
Republican chairman Elkin, in his
figuring of the result. predicts a vote
of 1885, 65, and q Republican plurality
of 177.490. He conceded Swallow 1880
votes.
Democratic chairman German says
there viii be a total vote of 925, 600 and
that the Democratic candidate Will
have a plurality OF $4,000. He gives
swallow 10000.
Chairman Jones. of the Prohibition
party claims that Swallow will have a

COTTON INDUSTRY IN DANGER
Prolonged Strike of Manchester OPP
erativeS Probable.

Manchester, Nov. AT a conference
just held here between representatives
and the employees and delegates of
the cotton mill operators. the en-
ployers gave months notice of their
intention to make a per cent reduc-
ton in the amount of wages of their
employees. AS the operatives through
out the north of England have an
nounced that they will resist reduc-
ton in wages, it seems probable that
a strike affecting 100000 persons, which
may last for months, entailing a loss
of $370000,000, according to the Pail
Mall Gazette, and also possibly bring
about the ruin of the cotton industry
in this country, viii begin on Dec /.
The representative of the employers
and the delegates of the operatives
had previously conferred, but failed to
come to an agreement.
