sCANT NEWS FROM THE FRONT.

LONDON, November Such scanty in
telligence as is tiltering in from the front is
generally accepted here as reassuring. al
though the later reports agree that the
fighting outside Ladysmith on Thursday
and Friday was much more severe than in
dicated by the official accounts. There is no
longer sucn q disposition to jump at the
conclusion that a crushing blow has been
inflicted on the Beers as shown be-
fore. British contempt for tho burghers
has been modified by defeat. The best in
formed are inclined 10 discount the stories
OF the cutting UP Of the Beers until further
confirmation Is received. But the mere fact
that Gen White was enabled to undertake

taken as an Indication that the Boer Invest

Fine Weather Reported All Over
the State
CONTEST FOR ASSEMBLYMEN

NEW YORK. November THE weather
in the greater New York today could not
have been finer. The sky in the early
morning was clear, the air was pleasantly
cool. and the result was that voting all
over the city was at a pretty rapid rate
considering that only local officers and
semblyncen were to be elected. The polls
opened at o'clock and will close at g.
In Harlem, where there are several close
assembly, districts, the early voting was 50
heavy as to surprise the old-time politi-
clans. In the eighteenth election district
of the thirty first assembly district forty
five votes out of a registration of 27O had
been polled at 7:45 o'clock. In the nine
teenth election district of the assembly dis
trict SO votes out of 362 registered had been
cast at 1856 o'clock. In the ninth election
district of the thrty-fourth assembly dis
trict SO votes out of 1862 registered had been
cast at $40 o'clock
Light Registration.
The registration was light this year, and
1t is probable that the poll will be 10 to 10
per cent below that of last year, when a
governor and other state officers were elect

In the nineteenth assembly district of this
city, where 4 strong effort was made to
prevent the reelection of Robert MaZet, q
republican, twenty-four arrests for illegal
registration had been made at $50 o'clock.
The arrests were made on warrants Sc
cured by State Superintendent McCullagh.
The prisoners all gave bail for examination

Immediately left the court room and ex-
pressed their intention of going back to

Croker Claims Victory.
At noon Mr.. Croker said:
Everything points TO sweeping demo-
cratic victory in the city, 1t will be clear
sweep all around. In the nineteenth assem-
bly, district Mr.. Saxton advises me that
Mr. Stewart will get bigger majority than
MIR. Mazet will get votes"
In Brooklyn a good vote was rolled up
before noon. The activity of both parties
caused by a belief that the county officers
might be Won or lost by narrow margins
encouraged the workers to get every man
they could to the polls.
The Brooklyn voting up to noon was
quiet and there were few arrests in that
borough.
Reports from Buffalo, Rochester Albany
and other upstate cities show that a deter
mined fight was made by both sides to
capture assemblymen. In Buffalo and Roch-
ester voting machines were used, and it
was expected that the count of the vote
Would be known very early in those places.

The Land Question.

THE land question in Guam is something
which badly needs the prompt action of
qualified officials. l state this because the
methods used by some persons to obtain
real estate appear to me TO be decidedly
questionable One case in mind is that
where a certain individual passed HIM
self off the American governor on
the ignorant and unsuspecting natives, and
thereby obtained possession of several
ranches for almost nothing. There being
no government at Guam, there is no one
there to hinder the preparation OF such
outrages.
Since the evacuation of Guam by the
Spaniards mail and all other regular COM
munication has been cut off; consequently
any one going to that place should go well
provided with all the necessities of life
which L previously named. as they fire.
Quently cannot be had at any price owing
TO the exceeding Incidence of the natives.
For the present at least one should be on
the safe side and expect TO find absolutely
nothing at Guam.
Il viii mention in this connection that
the coal supply ship Nanshan. stationed
there, finds IL frequently impossible to get
provisions to feed the crew"
r IT must be borne In mind that since the
writing OF the above Coy. Leary has ar
rived at the island and many of the evils
here complained of have been cured and
medical supplies have been secured.

RIDPATH As A RoM1NcER.

Not all the follies and absurdities
of the dollar faction Jeffersonlan
banquet IN New York were uttered
by William j. Bryan. John Clark
Ridpath contributed his full quota
to the imbecllities of that gathering.
Said Ridpath, it was a fitting thing
that the author of the Declaration of
Independence SHOULD at last, in his
democratic way, ride up to the presi
Dental mansion, like the plain man
that he was, hitch his horse, and
make ready, without the presence of
cavalcade of venal Office seekers,
to take the oath as chief executive
of democratic nation"
That horse-hitchlng story is a
fiction. 1t comes up every four
years in the Democratic press
throughout tie country, but not the
smallest atom OF truth was ever in it.
No mention of any such thing was
made in any of the papers published
at that time. On the contrary, the
records of that day show that a wide
ly different con lition of things pre-
vailed at the .JeffersonIan inaugura-
tion from what RIdpath and the
other Democratic romancers talk
about. The Aurora, which was one
of the yellowest of the Jeffcrsonian
papers, said, in its edition of March
IL, 1901, describing the Inauguration
ceremonies, that "at an early hour
on Wednesday, March 4, the City of
Washington presented spectacle of

The horse -hitching fake, which, of

was false. Equally tricky is Ridpath's
sneer about the "venal office. seekers. -

turned Goodrich out of the Office of

Jefferson put Goodrich out because
he was a Federalist and put Bishop
in because he was a Democrat.
