NEW JERSEY.
Probably Five Republican and Three
Democratic Coneressmen/

D5IHucfaLIc OongTessmen.
New York. Nov. 7.-On the eve of
battle the situation is extremely mixed,
and both sides claim a sweeping victory
in New Jersey. FosterIM. Worries, the
Republican candidate, claims ne will be
elected by 5000. The Democrats claim
the state. for Elvin w. Crane for gov
ernor by from 1000 to 10000. The leg
islature is in doubt, with everything de-
pending on Essex county's eleven MEM
bers of the house. Both parties claim
Essex. Upon Essex depends the con-
troll of the state and the election Of
United States senator. The congress
sional elections, it is thought will show
Democratic gains of two or three in the
delegation OF eight. The most probable
complexion of the congressional dele
cation seems to be i've Republicans and
three Democrats.

INDIANA.
Democrats Claim Eight of Thirteen
Congressman.

Indianapolis, Nov. 7.-On the eve of
the election both parties seem conf
dent of victory The Democrats claim
they will elect eight of the 10 congress-
men. and perhaps three more, and that
the legislature will be Democratic by a
majority Of four, maybe 12-on joint
ballot.
The Republican leaders promise to
carry the state by from 1900 to 10000,
and to elect SO representatives and four
senators, thus securing a good working
majority. Overstreet will be elected in
this district. and 10 other districts will
return Republican congressman, they
predict. The betting generally is in
small amounts, and relates to local can
didates.

dications. are that the Democrats will
elect three out of four candidates for
congress and have the legislature on
joint ballot by a very narrow margin.
Chairman Dawson of the Republican
state committee says the Republicans
will have all four congressman and a
majority of the legislature, insuring
the election of q Republican United
States senator to succeed Faulkner.
Chairman Only of the Democratic state
committee says:
"Advices from every section indicate
that the natural reaction from the phe-
nomenal Republican effort of 1896, gen
eral apathy and the disappointed appli-
cants for Office viii produce Democratic
gains sufficient to make the legislature
Democratic on joint ballot by narrow
margin. The Democrats will carry two
of the four congressional districts, and

Indications Point to Fusion Success.

Boise. Ida. Nov. THE last day be-
fore the balloting closes with no mate
rial change in the situation. In all the
headquarters an air of confidence is
found and it is even more pronounced
than two days ago. The Republican
confidence is based largely on SUPPOSE
ton that great manysDemocrats will
leave the fusion and vote for the Pop
ulist candidates for governor and con-
gresham. How much of this is for
effect and how much based on facts
cannot be stated, but it has been APP
parent for several days that the most
was being made of the alleged strength.
The best obtainable indication does not
indicate any drift to the Populists. The
latter as a party are far weaker than

Scandinavian Vote May Decide the
Election.

EIect1On.
Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov THE chair
men of both state committees say they
see no reason to change estimates pre-
Viously made. The element of uncer-
tainty is the Scandinavian vote which
is being claimed for the fusion ticket
because it is headed by Governor Lee,
who is a Norwegian. The Republicans
declare this vote will this year go on
party and not nationality lines If it
does, they declare that nothing can
beat the Republican ticket, including
Burke and Gamble for congress.

WATER COMMITTEE
 FAILED TO REPORT To the Meeting of City Council
 Last Night. ILLNESS OF A. T. LONDON Attorney of the Waterworks Company Caused Postponement Till Monday Nght-Short
 Sesslon--Sanltary Inspector
 Gets Touching Up.
ILLNESS OF A. T. LONDON

Again has the report of the water com mittee been postponed. The report is ready
 and embodies quite a number of changes
 in the schedule of rates. This time it was
 postponed until Monday night on account
 of the illness of Attorney London, of the
 Water company, he not having had time to
 confer with the committee since the com pletion of the report. On account of several of the aldermen
 being delegates to the judicial convention, very little business was transacted at the meeting of the oity council. Those present were Mayor Evans, Alder
 men Lynaugh, Ashford, Kerr, Mcknight, | Meighan, Moore, Williams, Drennen Gra- ham, Altman, Hamilton, Pearce. Gray, Par ker Harrington and Hentschel. Mayor Evans Reports Mayor Evans explained several matters.
 one of which was the case of Clerk Min gea. He merely reported what has already been printed.
 He also referred to the warning street car clements He spoke of the matter of arbi- tration and said that he had appointed
 Judge A. c. Howze to represent the city, vice W. c. Shaekeford, who had been forced to leave the city on business. He advised the board to take some action. Alderman Moore moved that when the board adjourn it adjourn until Monday
 night to hear from a conference on this
 question, and from one other special com-
 mittee.
 After Alderman Moore, Parker, Drennen and Altman had been excused to attend the judicial convention the board got down to routine business. Alderman Graham, for chairman Altman, of the judiciary committee, reported the | ordinance providing for the grading of | Eighth avenue and Twenty-fourth and | Twenty-slxth streets and Sycamore street, l all south of Highland avenue. He also pre- l sented petition from property owners | on Sycamore street praying that the city not force them to pay for street improve ments. The petitioners seemed to be in error in holding that they could not pay on the ten year plan. After the ordinance had been defeated 1t was reintroduced, and put on it's second reading.
 To Aid in Registering Voters On motion of Alderman Gray a committee of five was appointed to aid in having vot- CTS register. He thought the council was vitally interested in this matter on account | of the Birmingham amendment. The fol- l lowing committee was named: Aldermen | Gray, Pierce, Hamilton, Lynaugh and Drennen
 | Alderman Hamilton called the attention 1 of the board to the fact that the sanitary condition was bad, and fntimated that San- itary Officer Thomas was not attending to his business.
 This lead to a motion that a part of the city prisoners be placed to work cleaning the city.
 After considering several petitions and
 disposing of routine business the board ad-
 journed.

ALL MUST REGISTER.
The People Do Not Seem to Understand It
 Yet.

The fact that only twelve days remain in which to register in order to be able to vote dn August does not seem to be known by the people generally.
 Henry B. Gray who is representing the democratic nominees in getting the demo- crats to register asks The Age-Herald to say that it is very important for all demo- crats to register at once.
 Those living in beat s7 can register at Adams drug store and those in beat 21 at the court house. These registrars will only be allowed to register voters until June 1, and if the democrats are to vote in August they must register.
 There are many questions coming up which will be of importance to demo- crats and The Age-Herald urges every one to vote.

STREET CAR FIGHT
Is Now Being Put in Good Shape for Arbi-

After a long time the fight between the Birmingham Railway and Electric company and the Birmingham Traction company is now getting In shape to be arbitrated.
 The general managers of the two compa- nfes tried for three days to settle their differences, then for three more President Jemison and General Counsel London la- bored toward the same end. Nothing was accomplished.
 But on yesterday the arbitration board was put in working order. Judge A. C.. Howze was appointed in place of W. C.
