BETTING FAVORS ROOSEVELT
ODDS OFFERED THAT HE WILL BE
 ELECTED.
This Marked Wonderful Change in the Betting-Plenty of Republican Found Takers-several Large Bets Made All in Favor of Roosevelt.

New York, Nov. 1.-The last day be- fore election marked a wonderful change in the betting on the guberna- torial race, and the odds of 10 to on Van Wyck, which had prevailed for several days, began to wobble in the morning under pressure of republican money until by noon even money offer ed by Colonel Roosevelt's supporters almost went begging. In the afternoon the odds switched over to the republi- can candidate, and 10 to and in some instances to 1 was offered on his chances to win. A good amount of this money found takers, but there seemed to be a surplus of republican money on the market. When, however, the re- publican roll made it's appearance on Wall street and at the Hoffman house and at the Fifth Avenue hotel, the dem- ocrats demanded odds, which were giv- en. One bet of $500O to $4,500 in favor of Roosevelt is said to have been made in Wall street, and Washington Selig- man laid $5,000 to $4,500 on Roosevelt and offered several thousands at odds of 10 to on the republican candidate without a taker. Among the bets made were $2,500 against $3,000 and $l,60O against $2, 900 in favor of Roosevelt.
 David B. Hill said tonight: This is going to be another election like that in 1882, when the democrats carried not only New York and Brooklyn, but the rest of the state above the Harlem riv- CT. It is landslide for Van Wyck.''
 Senator Murphy-'The republican ticket will go down to Spuyten Duyvil creek with majority of not to exceed 4O,0o0. They will be met with an over- whelming vote in Greater New York On Tuesday night expect to hear that the democratic ticket has been elected by from 50,Oo0 to 60,0o0'
 Chairman F. H. McCarren of the dem- ocratic state executive committee .van Wyck will be elected and his plu- rality will approximate 70,000 He will get 100, 900 in Greater New York"
 Thomas c. Platt-"Colonel Roosevelt's election is assured beyond the shadow of a doubt. Roosevelt will have 100000 plurality or more"
 Benjamin B. Odell, chairman of the republican state committee-"Colonel Roosevelt will win by 40,000 plurality 7
 Lieutenant Governor Timothy Wood ruff-"Victory is certain for the repub- lican ticket.'
 Chauncey M. Depew-"From my ex- perience of years in this sort of cam paigning have no hesitation in saying that the election of Theodore Roosevelt is as certain as if it was all over now. ,
 Michael Dady-"R Roosevelt will carry Kings county ba 18,000 plurality.
 Lernuel E. Quigg-"It looks to me as if Roosevelt might get 100000 plurality 7

THE EXPLOSION IN WASHINGTON
A Careful Examination of the Damage
 hx Architect Wood.

Washington, Nov. "A report was current during the morning that the west central wall of the capitol was cracked as a result of the explosion on Sunday. Architect Wood made care full examination. The crack proved to be in the outer or veneer wall and not in the six-foot foundation wall This main wall has stood over one hundred years and is still in fairly good condi- tion The explosion blew out a heavy stone door frame in the outer wall and this loosened several stones in the ve- neer wall. Mir. Wood satisfied himself that the main wall had not been dis turbed The library of the supreme court, which, next to the congressional library, is the most valuable collection of books in Washington, escaped with little damage, although it was in the very center of the disturbance.
 1t is estimated that the loss in the library will be covered by $1,5o0. The books escaped intact. the loss being confined to singed woodwork. The floor or the eleclTlCdl IUUlll uliuel Wllti ztliSs explosion occurred was completely de- molished Fortunately no one was in the room at the time. MT. Wood at the close of the day expressed the opinion that the damage to the capitol building could be repaired for $2o.000. He said: T find that the foundations of the building were not damaged in the least, and that the only injury done to the structure by the explosion was done to the arched floors"
 Mir Woods and other architects be- lieve the explosion was caused by gas, but all decline to go into details The work of removing the rubbish caused by the explosion has been proceeding all day, seventy-five or one hundred men being employed for this purpose. As soon as the refuse is cleared out the work of repairing the damage will be- gin Mr Woods thinks that the su- preme court room will be ready for occupancy within two weeks. Here as elsewhere, the damake was less than was thought.

Each of Three Leading GubernatOraal
 Candidates Claim State.

 Candidates Claim State.
 Philadelphia, Nov. 7.-Each of the three leading candidates for governor Stone republican,; Jenks, democrat, and Swallow, prohibition and honest gov- ernment-will have a sufficient number of votes for election, according to the claims of the respective party leaders. Aside from these claims the county re- ports indicate a plurality for Stone, the republican candidate. Jenks, the dem- ocratic candidate, however, has the benefit of a harmonized party. While pr. Swallow will undoubtedly receive 8 heavy vote, there are indications of a falling off in the Swallow following in consequence of the recent development of increased prospects of the success ot Jenks. Some of the prominent indepen- dent voters have in the last few days announced their intention of voting for Jenks.
 The republican and democratic state chairmen concede Swallow from 15O,000 to 100000 votes, and each claims that his respective candidate will be the only one to receive over 100000 votes. The republican chairman claims lS3.- 600 plurality for Stone, while the demo- cratic chairman figures out a plurality of 35, 900 for Jenks and the prohibition chairman claims 69,000 plurality for Swallow. In the congressional contests 1t is generally believed that the demo- crats will be successful in four or five districts now represented by republi- cans. The present delegation to con- rress from the state is composed of twenty-seven republicans and three democrats. There is no reason to doubt that the republicans will have strong working majority in the next legislature which will elect United States sena- tor.

The Harvard Eleven.

Cambridge, Nov. 1.-The Harvard varsity players were given rest to- day in order to tune them up after the hard work of Saturday. No one is injured to any extent, though some de- veloped bruises of some consequence. To-morow the team will go out for practice and will line up for few mia utes against the second eleven. Light work will be the order for a, couple of days, increasing in amount in order t.; be in readiness for the Brown team on Saturday. The substitutes and second eleven were out this afternoon for a lively practice. It is quite noticeable that the Harvard men are not remark ably confident over the Yale game fer they realize that she has a back field that can play good football, but satar- days win gives Harvard hope that her chances are a little improved. The condition of the Harvard team is su- perb, but Trainer McMasters will have to exercise extreme care that none of the men go stale before the Yale game. The experience of past years will be brought 1nt0 play as never DeIOre III keeping the team fit for the chief battle of the year. The report that Harvard intends to drop University of Pennsyl- vania from the list as a result of Satur- days game is ridiculed in varsity cir cles and a high authority in Harvard athletics tonight took the pains to de- clare that no such feeling existed. He further said that the relations between Harvard and the University of Penn sylvania are exactly as after the game last year.

Hecker and Lee.
 Washington, Nov 7.-Colonel Hecker with Colonel Lee of the board which for the American army of occupation has reached Washington and has had several conferences with the president and Secretary Alger. During his ab- sence in Cuba he made several reports by mail and although he probably will supplement these by another report, he has already communicated verbally to the president the salient facts of the forthcoming statement. Arrangements are making for the reception of the troops. Secretary Alger has approved the location selected by the Hecker board for the principal garrison, which will be about eight miles south of Ha- vana. It is near but not directly in the town of Mariana, for Colonel Hecker advises strongly against the quartering of unacclinated troops in permanent structures which may be in. fected with fever. Two camps will be pitched at this point, one on either side of the aqueduet which supplies Havana with water. This aqueduct will be tapped and the water drawn from 1t by steam pumps to supply the camps. which will be pitched z1 a plateau about 160 feet above sea level The greatest care has been taken in the se- lection of camp. The troops will be landed and marched directly to the camp to avoid exposure to possible in- lection in Havana. The work on the dock has given employment to about 1,500 insurgents.
