earnings for the ST. Paul system and the
hope that its neighboring Granger roads
will be able to add TO their earnings served
an inducement to higher prices In those

Southern railways increase in current
earnings and the activity Of that road in
securing aew and profitable business made
the preferred stock and bonds strong ON

HOOLEY ON THE STAND.
London Promoter Continues to COM

LONDON. November THE examination
OF Ernest Tel ah Hooley, the company pro-
moter, in bankruptcy proceedings, was re-
sumed today. The court was crowded with
people, including many ladies. and a num-
Der of persons were unable to obtain ad-

During the day Hooley made a number of
curious statements, one being that he gave
Lord Churchill f35, 900 to induce the latter
to sell al estate to Mr. Ducros. But he
could not explain why he gave the money,
and later he could not remember what a
check for $500 was for. When shown a

however. remember the circumstances.
Later Hooley saidt that the gold COM

that hesgave $4,000 to charity last wear.
and that his living expenses were from

CURIOUS CAMPAIGN CLOSED
Burrows-Pingree Fight in Michigan Clouds
the Situation. Z
Both Parties Make Fore
casts as to the Result of To-
morrOw,s Election.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.


DETROIT, Mich. November Tt is a
curious campaign that closes today. The re-
publican revolt against Governor Pingree is
of huge proportions and embraces many
prominent members of the party, nearly all
the federal office holders and many leading
business men. The democratic state COM
mittee claims to have a list of nearly ST, ,00t
republicans who will cut Pingree. There is
no doubt that the governor Will receive the
votes 6f'nany stholsHnasi OF democrats and
populists, as he has done in all his cam
paigns. -..
His heavy vote from the opposition party
is of wholly different character from the
republican vote which will go to eX-Repre
sentative Whiting, the democratic candi-
date 1t is composed largely of small shop
Keepers in cities workinsnen and farmers.
Some idea of its size can be gathered from
the fact that Pingree had $1,000 more ma
Jorlty. than Mckinley. His decline in popu-
larity among republicans has been great,
but democratic managers fear that his pop
uarity with their party may have CORE
spondingly increased.
In q final interview today Republican
Chairman Marsh claims 100000 majority for
Pingree and Democratic Chairman Campau,
without naming figures, declares that Whit
ing VIII be elected as surely as the sun
rises tomorrow -,-i.
The republicans claim ten and the demo-
Gratis seven congressman.
There is a fierce fight for the legislature
between Burrows and Pack. rival republi-
can candidates for the United Stats Sen
ate, and in many districts friends of one
are openly bolting candidates known to be
pledged to the other. Governor Pingree
himself is out against several republican
candidates who are instructed for Bur-
rows. Pingree is popular with the volun-
teer soldiers, for he was very vigorous as a
war governor. The gold democratic vote
will go almost solidly for Whiting, al
though he is an ardent silver man on 16
to l platform. The republican vote against
him is swelied by the admirers of Presi-
dent Mckinley. who, is openly charged by
the governor with having made appoint
ments in this state for the purpose of cor
rupting the state senate against railroad
legislation. Under these circumstances
conservative politicians find it impossible to
make any predictions as to the final result
that may not be. rudeIy shattered.
