BoNDHoLDERs ARE ANXIOUS.
Move of the French Government In
Their Belief.


Washington. Nov. 8.-The advices
that have come to hand so far from
the commission at Paris are said to
be rather encouraging than the re-
verse and there is a disposition here
to agree to the statement, rather Curl
ously made by the Spanish cabinet
yesterday, that there will be three or
four more meetings Of the joint COM
mission. This is taken as an indica-
ton that the Spaniards themselves are
not looking for a break in the negOtia-
tons, but they rather expect a peace
full conclusion in a short time.
The foreign bOndhOlders have at last
moved formally to protect their inter
ests in Cuba and Puerto Rico. The
initial steps have been taken through
the agency of the French embassy,
which in this case acts no longer as
the representative of the Spanish gov
eminent, but for French subjects.
Through the embassy a most formid-
able statement has been presented to
the state department, being an. ac-
count. of the various Spanish bonds
owned by French citizens chargeable
against the territories either seized or
set free by the act Of the United States
government. The sum total of these
bonds runs up far into the millions.

with them is not clear The United
States government, of course, will not
pay them, but it may be that the
French government looks to it to cause
the Independent government of Cuba
to assume liability for the redemptiOn
Of the bonds charged against that
island when that government shall
have been duly installed by the act
of the United States government 1t
is probable that other HOLDS of like
bonds, German and British will take
similar steps to have their claims
brought through their diplomatic
representatives to the attention of the
United States government. and it may
even be that the holders of such bonds
in Spain, though Spanish citizens, win
take like course. which would present
a novel claim upon the generosity Of
the United states government.

Mckinley Is Satisfied.

Plttsburg, Pa, Nov. S.-President Nc
Kinley and party reached here on the
return trip from Canton tonight on
a special train, which made the run in
about three hours and half. The trip
to this city was without incident, other
than at several towns along the road
large crowds had gathered and the
president was heartily cheered as the
train swept past. Upon arrival here
the president was met by a representa-
tive of the Associated Press, who gave
the president the returns received up
to that hour. Mr.. Mckinley declined
to make any comments upon the news,
but expressed satisfaction over the
Republican weather generally pre-
vailing throughout the east and said
it would be worth thousands of votes.
At this point the special train was
abandoned and the presidents car,
Cleopatra. was attached to the regular
train which left for Washington at

turns from both the city of st. Louis
and state of Missouri were far from

incomplete returns from 40 out Of ia
counties in the state seemed to indi-
cate that the Democratic majority in
the state and congressional tickets Of
1896 would be equaled. The claim was
made that success in the doubtful
counties of Butler, Carroll and Scotland
and the election of five additional DEM

with senatorial gains elsewhere, in

Election Law Worked Smoothly

New York, Nov Superintendent
McCullagh, after the polls had closed,
made the following statement in re
gard to the operation of the new cleo
ton law: MY deputies have had no
trouble in any of the territory of
Greater New York. We had 700 depu
ties, 500 of whom were on duty at the
polls, 100 in reserve and 100 specials
acting as messengers. The only terri
tory in which 1 had any trouble was in
the Sixth and Eighth election districts
of the Second assembly district. My
deputies arrested four men for defect
i've naturalization papers, who were
held for the United States judge.
II expected to have trouble with
gangs of repeaters from Newark, New
York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Bris-
toll, Connecticut and the famous Bat
Shea gang from Troy, but as far as 1
have heard, there have been no difficult
ties with these men.
In case my men had been over
whelmed at the polls. I would have
called on the police, although I could
as a state officer call out the militia to
quell any disturbances.

Light Vote, But Whole Democratic
Ticket Elected.

Jacksonville, Fla, Nov. S.-The vote
today, judging from returns now in,
is from 10 to 20 per cent lighter for
both parties than in 1896. The whole
Democratic ticket is elected. The light
vote is due to the feeble resistance
offered.
The constitutional amendment re-
quiring that bonds of state officers be
in sound security and guarantee COM
panies was carried overwhelmingly.
The Republicans and Populists will not
altogether elect over five members of
the legislature, if that many. The
legislature elected today will choose a
successor to Senator Pasco.
