RIVAL FORECASTS IN NEW YORK
CROKER CLAIMS STATE FOR
VAN WICK.
Chairman Republican State Commit
tee Sees No Question of Roose-
velt's Election By 10000.

New York, Nov. 4.-Chairman Oden of
the Republican state committee has given
out the following statement:
The campaign which is so rapidly
drawing to a close from every indication
points to a Republican victory. The clos
in@ of a careful canvass of the upstate
counties convinces me that a plurality
large enough to more than meet and Off
set any possible plurality that can be OBJ
tanned in Greater New York by Tam
many hail is assured.
L find that the constant talk by Tam
many hall leaders of their certainty of
carrying the state has been pure bluff.
There is no possibility of their securing
in the city of New York a plurality that
would insure the election of Van Wyck
and they are now seeking with fake bets
to bolster up what they know to be a los
ing cause. Their bets the Republicans are
calling, and we are met with the informal
ton at their betting stand that there is
no more Van Wyck money in sight. On
the contrary, l am in receipt of informa-
ton from hundreds of Democrats within
the city of New York who propose to vote
for Roosevelt, and / believe that there IS
q surprise in store for Democrats as v Al
as for Republicans, only that the surprise
for the Republicans will be in the nature
of a pleasing one
Il claim the state of New York without
any question for Roosevelt by at least
1900. His magnificent canvass has awak-
and his manly and courageous utterances
and his reputation for honesty have
brought to him the independent voters
who are to decide this election.
Richard Croker, in a statement to the
public, says:
Il am confident that Judge Van Wyck
will be elected by a handsome plurality
He will have from IS. 600 to S0000 plurality
in these two boroughs, and the rest of
Greater New York viii increase the total

GATHERING OF TROOPS
AT THE CAPITAL, Nv SPITE OF
CONTRARY PROMISES.
Dowager Empress Evidently Fears
Growing influence of General In
Command of Foreign Drilled
Troops, Who May Use Them In
Conformity With Foreign Views.

Washington, Nov. A recent edict
of the dowager empress of China, CO.
pies of which have been received by
Mr.. WI. the Chinese minister here,
show with what a strong hand the en-
press rules the government and holds
in check the reform tendencies of the
young emperor. One of the recent ediets
restores the ancient departments Of
Pekin and the governorships of the out
lying country which had been abolished
not many weeks ago by an edict of the
emperor. These places have been pre-
sided over by some Of the most prom
inent men of China, who had grown
gray in the country's service. They
are handed down from father to son,
and great dignity as well as consider
able profit attaches to the offices. The
emperor had previously inaugurated a
marked reform in directing that many
of the old temples throughout the en-
pire be turned into schoolhouses, in or
der that education might be fosJered.
But the empress dowager, while up
holding the desirability of education,
does not want the ancient temples of
China turned into schoolhouses if it is
possible to secure schools elsewhere.
She therefore directs that the temples
be used exclusively for worship, eX-
cept when no school facilities are avail
able elsewhere, or when the temples
have been turned to immoral uses. In
each case the action of the empress
dowagr is a return to the ancient meth
DDS of the country and is accepted with
favor by the conservative element, as
well as by those who desire reforms, so
long as they can be brought about
without doing violence to the traditions
of centuries

forth that Goldberg, who is engaged in
merchandise. owes debts exceeding
$4,000, and that the debts due the pc
utioners exceed $4,000, which is not Sc

goods, which do not exceed $1,000, may
be distributed according to law.
Deputy United States Marshal
Smyth went down to Goldberg's place
to serve the papers yesterday after
noon. The store was closed, but the
deputy hunted around until he found
a party who admitted he was E. Gold
berg, but as soon as he commenced
reading the papers the merchant inn
agined he could avoid service by run
ming away, so he darted out of the
building and left the officer talking to
the air. Mr.. Smyth left the papers and

TRADING VOTES.
Republicans Engaging In Free For
All Dickering.

Condie and Graham workers are be-
ginning their trading. Down in the
Second offers to trade the balance Of
the ticket for a vote for Condie and
Graham are freely offered.
1t is asserted that the Tribune is be-
hind al this. These officers are the
ones who have the disposition of a lot
of revenue, and the Tribune wants it.
So the balance of the ticket, Mont
Fisher and the rest, the legislative
ticket, Charlie Post and all; Benner x.
Smith and the county commissioners
viii ell be traded, in order that the
Tribune may have a chance at the flesh
pots from which it has been kept so
long-
The balance of the Republican candI-
dates are beginning to be bit scared,
and are getting ready to do little
trading on their own hook. 1t looks
like a free-for-all on the Republican
side of the house, and as if there might
be a lot of cutting and slashing done all
day election day. Down in Sandy they
are offering the whole ticket for vote
for Wilson for commissioner. and over
on the west side of the county the man
who will vote for Haigh is promised a
vote Cor the entire ticket in return,
with that exception.
While the Republicans are trading
the Democrats are being urged to
mark an X uD by the rooster and let
it go at that"

HARRIS ON PoPUL1srs.
He Relates Some of Their Peculiari-
ties In Speech.


At Layton, the other night, the Hon.
Fisher Harris created much applause
when he made reference to the Popu-
list party in the following words:
There are two great political parties
working for mastery in this state, as
in the nation at large, one the Repub-
lican party and the other the greater
Democratic party. These two parties
effected platforms and named candi-
dates, and are before you, and have
been before you for some weeks, claim
ing your votes.
1T may occur to some lady or gen
tleman in the audience that the speaker
has unintentionally omitted to mention
the PoDulist party, but l can assure
you that 1 have eliminated the Popu-
list party Intentionally, for 1 cannot
say anything good of the Populist
party, and 1 have been taught from my
youth to say nothing but good for the
dead; and the Populist party, so far as
it is concerned locally and nationally,
is irretrievably dead, and there is no
power on earth that can reSuScitate 1t.
1t started out many years ago, with
fair promises and with a. hope laid
ceep in the hearts of many men that
1t would accomplish something for suf-
fering humanity, but in its efforts to
reform all things it has succeeded in
reforming itself out of existence, until
today, instead of being a great party.
as it should be, it has become the party
Of a few who desire Offices, and whose
chief business seems to be to snarl at
the heels of honorable men. You may
surround them with magnificent homes,
fill those homes with all the pleasures
and necessities of life; you may give
them lovely wives and beautiful chill
dren, and they will not be happy: or
you may transport them to paradise
and let them lie on flowery beds of
ease, and still they will kick: those
men, upon earth, my friends, are called
Populists. (Great applause) And so
we have nothing to do tonight in our
discourse with this party

Mismanagement In the Commissary

Mormon Factions


z. H. Clark, first sergeant troop I, Tor

who has the token in his possession.
The sergeant would not talk yesterday
of the mismanagement of the commissary
department, but expressed his belief that
the fault was due to the inexperience Of
the oHlcerS in charge OF the same. L was
not on the sick report at all, said the
sergeant because | was used to rough
ing 1t. But 1t was tough on some of the
boys.
When asked concerning the report
of the existence of TWO factions-Mormon
and anti Mormon--he said: There is
absolutely no truth. in that report. L
don't believe such a thing was ever
thought Of When We first went there
the negroes were scared to death and the
people OF Jacksonville considered us a lot
OF hoodlumS. as was eVinced by their petit
ton to General Lee to have US camped at
Panama park, which is seven miles from
the city. General Lee complied with the
request because the park was the best
camping ground. A little while later the
people sent to Colonel Torrey a long petit
ton asking that our pay be withheld;
they feared we would paint the town red
when We We're paid off. The colonel tore
the communication in two, with the ex-
clamation: SO much for the petition. My
men VIII be paid when the money is due
These feelings OF aversity, however, soon
passed away and the boys made many
friends in the city. They had no trouble
whatever among themselves"
Speaking of the officers, Sergeant Clark
said there wasn't a man in the troop who
wouldn't follow Andy Burt to the last
ditch if needs be- He had nothing to say
regarding the other officers, but declared
Lieutenant Burt was the great favorite.
Trooper Larson returned from Cuba.

his home in Mt. Pleasant.

by order OF Major General Otis, but

Of prisons, began his investigation of
the cases of the prisoners confined in
that they were unjustly suffering for

accused CT the crime and sent to Jail
Moffett made report of the matter
To General Macarthur, and an exam

MAssING OF TROOPS.
Gathering at Chinese Capital, In Spite
of Contrary Pledges.

Pellin, Nov. Ain spite of the formal
promises of the Chinese foreign Office,
there is every indication of a contested
movement of Chinese troops in the
neighborhood of the capitol. 1t is said
Khang Nyi, the Manchu officer who
was next in rank to the late Prince
Koung in the Kioun XII Tshu or coun-
Gil of state, has obtained great influ-
ence over the dowager empress.
He is bitterly anti-foreign and hope
lessly conservative. 1t is probable that
Kank Nyi was the instigator of the
edict re-establishing the bow and ar
row exercise for the Chinese soldiers.
1t is reported that Yuan Shik Hal,
the Chinese general in command of the
foreign-drilled troops at Tien-Tsin and
an officer whose power is much dreaded
by the dowager empress and her ad-
visers, has received a grant of money
ostensibly for the purpose of increasing
the strength of his division of 10000
men, IF time shows that the dowager
empress can rely upon his fidelity" 1t
has been said that Yuan Silk Hal
might use his troops in conformity
with the views of the foreign ministers
at Pekin.

HOLD-UP LAST NIGHT.
FIRST ONE IN SALT LAKE FOR
MANY MONTHS.
Ernest L. Smith Submits to Two
Thugs at the Muzzle of a Gun
The Haul Light One.

The first genuine hold-up for many
months occurred few minutes before
8 o'clock last night on Second South,
between Sixth and Seventh Fast, the
victim being Ernest L. Smith, a young
man living at 1873 Forest avenue. Mr..
Smith was walking east on the north
side of the street toward his home
with thoughts far removed from thugs,
and when near Hawkes. court and OPP
posite Louis Moser's store, at a place
where the trees heavily shade the
walk, ne encountered two men walking
quietly from the opposite direction
Suddenly one of them flashed a gun
into his face, and said: Throw up
your hands,"
Mr. Smith was taken by surprise, and
thought the genteel thing to do was to
obey, so up went his hands. AS he
Looked calmly into the barrel of a
AZ he asked that they grant one re-
quest, which was to refrain from blow
ing his head off. The man with the
gun cheerfully acquiesced, and assured
him that such an act would be entirely
unnecessary. The other thug went
through his pockets, securing silver
watch, with hunters case, and black
crepe guard carrying a compass set in
flint. The cash haul consisted of $500.
After the work they ordered Smith to
take walk up the alley, and started
west, becoming uneasy at the aD-
proach of an individual a block east.
Smith only went a short distance when
he returned to follow the men, but he
soon lost them in the gloom. Frank
Foot, a friend of Smith, residing at the
Cullen, happened along, and to him
Smith related the holdup. He darted
ahead and overtaking the two men
thought to get a glimpse by turning his
lantern on them, but they quickly
hustled out of sight. Smith went to
the residence of DIR. Dart and notified
the police department. Officers Ed
dington and Armstrong drove down,
but could discover no trace of the par
ties. Smith could not describe them
very closely, but said that neither wore
a, mask. One was shorter than the
other, and they both wore sack coats.
