Brooklyn Rapid Transit went above par
this morning and was bought heavily af-
ter crossing the line, so that many expect
ed little if any recession al this time, des-
pite the large bulge. The wonderful
strength of the stock was unexpected TO
many. but more and more people are be-
ginning to take it on faith and buying on
p cry recession. The future of the road
seems assured. and on the eve of great
bull market it is not believed that there
will be any great break in this stock. Good
margins are advisable, however, and. in
fact brokers do not care to take any
others.

Heavy buying by the cliques in Sugar,
Brooklyn Rapid Transit, Peoples Gas, and
other specialties gave the stock market
strong tone this morning and at IL o'clock
prices generally had advanced from a frac-
tion in the standard issues 10 4 points in
Sugar. There was a generally better feel
ing IN all directions, the opinion being that
the day would see a rally OF a point or
more perhaps. The bugaboo of tight mon
ey was dispelled yesterday afternoon and
had net appeared again today and there
was nothing else in the situation TO give
uneasiness while the strength of the spe-
cialties had a good effect. Ii is not be
lieved, however. that any sustained ad-
vance can be made yet and ii is probable
that in most stocks profits should be taken
on bulges, always holding, however. some
stock TO be on the safe side in case of sur
prising strength. The bank statement this
week may not be bad, but il Is not thought
likely that it will be good either, and this
and the fear of II will probably cause some
liquidation toward the close of the week.

REPUBLICAN SUCCESS SURE.

Boston, Nov. 4.-The state campaign
in Massachusetts,. which practically
closed tonight, has been more than or
dinarily dull, even for an off year. the
republicans being confident of victory,
and the democrats only hopeful of MAX
ing better showing than last fall
Whatever life has been instilled into
the contest has come from the demo-
cratic side. State issues have been
thrown to the winds, and both sides
have confined themselves to arguments
for and against expansion. The demo-
Gratis have had something to say on
the trusts, but the silver question was
scarcely mentioned.
For the first time in three years the
republicans have a new man at the
head of the ticket, w. Murray Crane of
Dalton, the present lieutenant COVER
nor, taking Governor Wolcott's place as
party leader, while John L. Bates of
Boston, the speaker of the House of
Representatives is the candidate for
second place. The democrats have also
a new man this year in Robert Treat
Paine, Jr., of Boston. John H. Mack
OF NOrtn ADAMS is the democratic can
didate for lieutenant governor Much
of the interest in the campaign centres
in a number of close and interesting
senatorial contests, the principal one
being that in the Greenfield district
where two republicans are striving for
the mastery,
The senator from the Greenfield dis
trict Herbert c. Parsons, an anti-im-
perialist, who declined to vote last
spring for the reelection of United
States Senator Lodge, was refused a
denomination this year, and is running
Independently. This contest. and the
coming back into the democratic field
of many of the Palmer Buckner demo-
| Gratis, are among the interesting fea,
lures of the campaign.
| A. H. Goetting, chairman of the re-
! publican state committee, issued the
/ following statement this afternoon
1.-THE state committee has conducted &
| campaign without noise. We have had
neither oratory nor fireworks. Our prob
lem has been to get the people to &c

| say that there is no doubt of the result

at stake. We have been obliged to figh
the argument that the contest this veal
is only one of najorities,'

WESTERN CIRCUIT PICKED.

New York. Nov. 4.-There was a
meeting today of the recently organ
lied association of American base ball
league. The meeting was held at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, and it was an ex-
ecutive session. Among those present
were Thomas Navin, representing De-
troit; H. c. Quinn and G. S. Havinor
representing Milwaukee; Chris Won
Der Abe, George Schaefer and A. D.
De Donata, representing st. Louis;
Frank Hough of Philadelphia; Michael
Scanlon of Washington, and Thomas
Mccarthy of Boston. A. C. Arson of
ChitmSo was not present, on account
of illness in his family. At the con-
clusion of the session, Secretary Hough
said:
We are more than satisfied with the
work done. The circuit question was
the main topic of discussion AS far
as the west is concerned, Milwaukee,
st. Louis, Chicago and Detroit are solid.
AS to the east, we have New York, Bos-
ton, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washing
ton and Providence to draw from
AT the conference today, Tom
O'Rourke seemed to be an important
factor, as he represented the New York
element, and after the meeting he said:
Il am with the association heart and
soul, and hope things may be satisfac-
torily arranged for a club in this city.

scheme, and believe it is a 60 There
is room for another base ball team in

Secretary Hough said it was the wish
of the members of the new association
to avoid conflict of dates with the
National league, and that it was not the
| intention in any way to fight the
| league if that could be avoided. II
was announced that the association had
been given two weeks option on the

COlensO Abandoned and Hone
OF Reinforcement Cut off.
LADYSMITH INVESTED
Joubert May Now Destroy Bridge Over Tu-
gelaand Isolate British. English Public
Arprehensive of Crushing Defeat
Artillery Fight at Ladysmith.--
Anxiety Everywhere.

London, Nov. 4.-The evacuation O.
olenso is undoubtedly most serious
natter for the British in Natal, as il
not only testifies to the complete in.
vestment of Ladysmith by the Beers
but makes the relief of Gen Sir George
Stewart White an extremely difficult
operation. Colenso is the point where
the railroad from Ladysnith crosses
the Tugela river, which is now in flood.
The town itself is of small Importance.
1t is dominated by the hills on the
north side of the river. Moreover, only
a small naval and colonial force was
stationed at Colenso
The seriousness of the evacuation,
however, lies in the fact that Com
mandant General Joubert, while COM
pletely investing Sir George White at
Ladysmith,ca can seize this Tugela bridge
and, If he has sufficient troops, can de-
tach a force and send it southwark on
Pietermaritzburg, in which case they
can prevent any relief from getting to
Gen. White for some time Thus Gen.
Joubert might remain in Natal several
weeks longer, endeavoring to force Sir
George White into moving forward.
Moreover, another Boer force is re-
ported to have marched through Zulu
land in the direction of Durham, and
already to have reached the Natal
border. Thus. it will be seen the posi-
ton in Natal taking into consideration
a possible uprising of the disaffected
Dutch, is most disquieting, and, in fact,
may be described as critical. British
reinforcements in any number cannot
reach Durham before the end of next
week
A special from Ladysmith, dated No
vember 2, morning, says: During the
night the Beers moved closer to the
British positions and mounted guns in
fresh places. Meanwhile the naval
guns have been moved to more favor
able positions near the town and COM

They fired straight, and some of the
British were hit.

Jim" Jeffries' victory over Sharkey
at Coney Island last night means at
least $100. 900 for him.
There were about 5000 spectators, and
the gate receipts amounted to about
$4,000. OF this the fighters get $40, 900,
$50 900 going to the champion.
In addition he gets an interest in the
pictures, which, with his added prestige
and the possibility of lending his name
to various enterprises, 1t is expected
viii bring his total winnings up to
500, 900 within year.
Sharkey gets $4,000 and the Coney
Island Athletic club $4,000.

Roger Kinnicutt Wins
at Tatnuck Coun.

A. BOWMAN WOOD WAS SECOND,
Exceptionally Good Play
Shown Over the Nine
Hole Course.

Golf enthusiasts swarmed the Tat
muck Country Club links yesterday af-
ternoon, when an open scratch tour
nament, medal play, was conducted by
the club over the nine-hole course
twice. While the tournament was open
to all Worcester amateurs, interest cen
tered in the play of the Grafton and
Tatnuck Club experts. Roger Kinni-
cult of the Tatnuck Country Club drove
exceptionally well, and won first prize,
silver cup. A. Bowman Wood of the
Grafton Club was second.
Mr.. Kinnicutt finished in SO, and the
Grafton Club crack was two holes be-
hind. On the out course, Mr. Kinni-
cult drove with the skill of a profess

He reached "Overbrook," the first hole,
in five, and in the hilly course to San

place the ball in position for the first
drive to "Fairview' Mr.. Woods best
half was in As, and Chandler Bullock,
who finished third tied him on the out
course. Alexander Bullock of the
Grafton Club made a good out score,
closing the ninth hole in As, but the
long, hard drives necessary to tie the
two leaders were not forthcoming on
the in course, but A. H. Bullock tied
Chandler Bullock for third place, with

Two weeks ago the Grafton Country
Club had the Tatnuck golfers as guests,
and the home players won easily over
the "toy course as local experts desi-
nate the Grafton links. Yesterday was

unable to fill them. The rest will be

mills in Worcester, Mass, and a few
will possibly go to other cities.
The Waukegan plant was built by
the Washburn & Moen people about ten
years ago as a branch of its Worces-
ter plant. The greater portion of the
engineers and operatives came origi-
nally from Worcester, and a great many
Of them will now return to their ma
tive city to try and get work in the
mills there
TT cannot be ascertained tonight
whether or not the company will re-
build, but 1t is thought highly prob
able they will in view of the fact that
portion of the buildings remain in
tact. The company's large real estate
holdings in north Chicago and Wauke-
gan, combined with the railroad facili-
ties they enjoy. will make rebuilding
cheaper there than elsewhere.
Unconfirmed later reports place the
number of men who persisted at from
to II, but there will be no certainty
until the 500 employees are checked up.
The flames spread with such rapidity
that within ten minutes after the fire
started all the immense building occu-
pied by the wire drawing department
was a blazing mass
One hundred employees on the first
floor, where the fire started, became
panic-stricken and stampeded. Two
men were nearly suffocated, but were
rescued unconscious. There were many
narrow escapes from the second floor.
One of the workmen says he say two
men fall while trying to leave the
barbed wire department. Seven horses
were roasted alive in a shed. Flames
also fastened on a train of cars stand
ing on Il spur track and six cars were
consumed.

ON THE EVE OF ELECTION.
Final Work Has Been Put in by Can
didates and Friends.


The state election takes place Tues
day. The clans are gathering and the
slogan is heard on the hill 1t is sum
moning the warriors to battle. The de-
cision is not in doubt like 1t is at Lady
smith, where the Beers have the Brit
ish bottled UP; the republicans have a
clean sweep, as clean as the path of a
cyclone.
The republican ward committees
were at headquarters last night, and
they made final arrangements for the
contest. The republican city committee
wish to have it known that the greater
number of hacks are to be sent into
ward and ward 3, where there are
contests that indicate republican vic
tory if the yeomen stand shoulder to
shoulder.
John G. Hagberg was confident last
last night that he is to be elected Tues
day as representative to the legislature
from ward 5. His lieutenants told The
Spy reporter that he could not lose.
Yesterday ward was flooded with
circulars setting forth his record. 1t is
an honorable record and one that any
young man might well be proud of. His
work in the legislature on a variety of
measures should recommend him to
the democratic as we'll as the republic
can voters. He introduced bill to re-
duce the interest on overdue taxes; he
worked for the passage of the vesti-
bule street railway bill; for this he has
a letter of commentator signed by n
B. Knox, secretary treasurer of the
state federation, Amalgamated Assoc
citation of Street Railway Employees Of
America. Few representatives can point
to a more honorable career in such a
short space of time,
The republicans see a show to win in
ward 3 because Of the four ornered
fight. w. l. Mclaughlin is the regular
nominee of the caucus. He is opposed
by Peter f. Sullivan, freelance. Then
there Is the socialist candidate, Dennis

portunity to elect Eleazer Desmarteau.
knowing the situation, the democratic
city committee has authorized John j.
MoCarry, secretary of the ward 3 dem
ccratic caucus, to send out a circular
drawing attention to the fact that Mr.
Mclaughlin is the party nominee, and
as such is entitled to every democratic
vote in the ward. A man, according to
this circular, cannot be an independ-
ent and a good democrat at the same
time. A man, it goes on to say, unwill-
ing to support the tenets of his party,
should not receive his partys support
BY voting for Mr.. Mclaughlin, it con-
cludes the democrats can stamp out
disruption, from which in the past the
party has suffered so much Mr.. Nc
Loughln's record as legislator is also
given.
Mr.. Sullivan, too, put out circular
yesterday, setting forth his qualifica-
lions and his record as a soldier with
Shafter in the Santiago campaign.
jeremiah Fitzgerald, mentioned as
democratic candidate for the common
council from ward 4, has withdrawn.
He believes that Joseph P. Morrissey,
an able young lawyer, will have clear
field for the democratic nomination.

New York, Nov "A physician who
examined Sharkey today, found that
one rib on the left side was fractured,
but he did not believe any bone in
Sharkey's arm was broken. Sharkey
said about noon that he was feeling
first rate.
"Jeffries didn't win the fight, and
giving the decision to him was the
rankest kind of robbery he said. He
added that Jeffries had fouled him sew
eral times, and had lain all over him
half the time of the fight. Sharkey de-
MED that he had fouled Jeffries. He
said that Jeffries did not know any
thing at all about lighting, but ne had
great strength and was wrestler.
Sharkey said he intended to post $1,000
for another fight Immediately.
William A. Brady, manager for JEFF
fries. made statement this afternoon,
in which he says "Jeffries will not
fight again this year, and his next fight
will probably be at the Paris exposi-
ton. He has defeated Sharkey twice
now. and do not think that the sailor
has any right to demand another meet
ing with Jeffries before the champion
meets any one else. Jim will probably
meet Fitzsimmons. Corbett, undoubted-
W. would prove the greater drawing
card in Paris. Jeffries is young yet,
and needs a chance to develop. He can
whip any man in the world. and he is
ready to meet any man."

Chicago Nov. 4.-The American Steel
and Wire Company suffered a loss OF
$500 900 by the burning of portion OF
the old Washburn & Moen wire mill at

that three men lost their lives in the
burning mill, but this is somewhat In
definite. The men may have escaped.
