Washington, Nov. 1s. Treasury Of
icials expect that. wit thins "a short time time
the money drawn from the financial in
stitutions of the east for the movement
of crops and other purposes in the west
will begin to find its way to New York
and that the apparent stringency in
money will be accordingly relaxed.
This return, which this year they say
appears to be somewhat later than;
usual, will be brought about by the.
payment of the debts contracted by
business men in the west whose notes
either already have matured or are
closely approaching maturity. Mean
time the authorities here declare that
no exigency exists for any relief meas

pending an exigency no action in that

The KENTUCKY CONTEST.
Still UncertainTlre ORcial
Count Proceeds Slowly.

louisville, KY, Nov. 13.-The second
week of uncertainty regarding the re-
suit. of the sballoting for governor of
Kentucky begins with little prospect
of immediate relief. The official count
has been in progress two days, and of
fetal returns from a large majority of
the 19counties have narrowed the con-
test down to a nose finish Each side
claims the election of its ticket, but the
estimated plurality of either does not
exceed 5000. While the returns SO far
received favor. Taylor, the result of the
count may hinge on the decision given
by the county election commissioners
in several places where contests have
been begun on the ground Of alleged ir-s
regularities. One. of these contests, that
in Nelson county, has been decided ad-
versely to the republicans. It involves
1,19s yotes-nearly as many as either
side claims Gle i'm as its plurality. The dem
ocrats will contest the votes of some
OF the mountain counties, which return
large republican pluralities. The most
important county involved is Knox.
which gave Taylor 1898 plurality.
There are also contests in three pre-
cincts in Louisville which went repub-
llcan. In any event it is difficult to see
how wv bitter contest before the legis-
I slature and the courts can be avoided.
All the contests now being considered
by the county election officers will have
to be argued before the state board of,

meet at Frankfort within a month.
Both sides are preparing for this with
all the legal talent at their command.
