lord WOLSELEY SPEAKS.
Denounces the Beers The Ups and
Downs of Warfare.

Lordon, Nov. General Lord Wclse-
ley, the commander-in-c chief. who was
the guest of the Authors club last eve
nirg, said that the short service sys-
TEN in the British army had at last
been acknowledged as the right one
even by it's most strenuous opponents.
Discussing the situation in South Al
RIGA the field marshal remarked: In
my various commands l have learned
much of Boer character, and l can
say truthfully that the Beers, as a
people, are the most ignorant with
which l have ever been brought into
contact Their aspiration is to rule the
whole of South Africa. This ia point
the English people must keep before
them. There are ups and downs in
warfare, and the disappointments we
have suffered will have the good effect
of bringing the English people closer
together"

TWO FIRES LAST NIGHT.
One at the Gas Works Might Have Been
Disastrous.

A small fire which, but for the
prompt and efficient work by the fire
men, might have developed into dis
astrous blaze occurred at 1905 last eve
ming at the works of the New Haven
Gas Light company on lower Chapel
street On oil pipe burst and the oil
caught fire. An alarm was rung from
box 3S located on the gas company's S
property, and engine company No.
quickly responded, being the first
company to arrive. The firemen found
the blaze burning tlercely and hose
was at once connected with a hydrant
and a stream Of water turned on the
flames. The fire was Just under the
gas generators and there was great
danger that the flames would commu-
nicate to the generators. Had this
happened there is no doubt that a
great damage would have resulted to
the property with probable loss of life
from explosions. The flames We're fin
ally subdued. however, after valiant
work by No. As men before much dam
age hadh been done.
An alarm was rung from box 721 at

B117ER FEELING IN KENTUCKY


Louisville, Nov. GA quiet and or

the factions is at a rather high tension.
the general apprehension, it is thought,
will do more to lessen the likelihood OF
an outbreak than the precautionary ac-
tivity which has been noticeable to-day
among those who are directing the
movements of the municipal police and
the state national guard. If a clash
should occur, it is most likely o,be in
Louisville. At Bowling Green there has
been a particularly bitter fight between
the democratic factions and extra po-
lice have been sworn in. But at this
and at other of the larger towns moth
ing more serious than the usual election
day casualties is expected.
In Louisville bitter feeling has been
aroused One democratic faction con-
trolls the police, while the other has
made the alleged interference of these
officers with the local primary and cleo
ton machinery one Of its principal cam
paign cries. Mayor Weaver has issued
a proclamation appealing for order and
cautioning the police.
Governor Bradley Is in the city and
will remain here until after election. A
number of reports have been current to-
day as to orders said to have been sent
to militia companies throughout the
state to hold themselves in readiness.
In this state of preparedness, the au-
thorities are waiting for the passing of
fa, iatv xyh icn
springs from a knowledge of the feel
ing aroused in the campaign and the
possibility, always present in city
election of an outbreaS of trouble with
a certain class of political workers,
there is nothing to indicate that the

WILL BE CLOSE IN NEBRASKA.


Lincoln, Neb, Nov. 6.-The Nebras-
ka campaign closed Tonight with rail-
lies in a number of the larger towns.
Estimates of chairmen at republican
and populist headquarters do not vary
greatly and conservative men on both
sides believe the result will be close
In this city and county Judge Reese
Tep) for supreme judge will run ahead
of his ticket slightly, and his managers
contend that the same rule will hold
good all over the state. They refuse
to admit of the possibility of his de-
feat. At the state house there is the
greatest confidence in fusion victory.
Governor Poynter, who accompanied
Mr.. Bryan the greater part of the time
in his two weeks Of campaigning, SAID
the latters presence acted as an inspi-
ration and if the result was at any time
in doubt Mr.. Bryan had completely
turned the tide. He predicted ex-Gov-
ernor Holcomb's election as judge by
1900.

Later (evening)-The British forces
ut Ladysmith, it now appears, were
engaged twice successfully on Thurs

the cavalry scored heavily and that
the infantry did great execution with

GREAT CONTEST IN ONO.
Six Candidates for Govcrmor-Three
Claim Their Election is sure

Cincinnati, Nov. 6.-There are six
candidates for governor to be voted for
in Ohio tomorrow. Three of them claim
their election is sure. The Jones vote
will reduce the vote of all others in
cluding that of the prohbitionists, the
union reform and the social labor tick
cts, and the result depends very mate
rally on where most of the Jones votes
will come from. 1t is certain that eth
er George X. Nash republican, or John
r. Mclean, democrat, will be elected
If Jones pulls more from the demo-
Gratis than from the republicans, the
prediction of Chairman Dick that Judge
Nash will have $4,000 plurality may be
Realized. But if Chairman Seward Is
correct in assuming that Jones Will
draw much more heavily from the re-
publicans than from the democrats then
Mclean will be elected. The democrat
ic managers have made capital out of
the fact that Jones had heretofore been
a republican, that he was himself CON
nected with trust and that he would
not pledge himself to vote for Bryan in
1900
AS Ohio is normally republican
state, Jones could draw more heavily
from the republicans and still not af-
feet the result were it not for the fac
tional feeling which may also cost
Judge Nash some republican, votes. 1t
is conceded that any votes that can be
controlled by Governor BUSHNELL ex-
Chairman Kurtz and other anti-Hanna
republicans will be cast for Mclean, but
this factional work may not extend to
others on the republican state ticket
Meantime the gold democrats as we'll as
the Bryan democrats are supporting
Mclean and there is no factlonal fight
among the democrats. The campaign
has been bitter, dirty and full of charges
and counter charges. 1t is, of course,
expected that this vicious tendency will
continue at the polls tomorrow and that
there will be many arrests especially in
the cities

ELEVEN STATES ELECT TODAY
The Greatest Interest Centers In Ne
braska and Ohio Where Bryan and
Mckinley Are Particularly Concerned
-Bryan's Interests Also Mt StakB In
Kentucky-Military Preparations to
Prevent Trouble In That State.

| To-day eleven states-Iowa, Ken
lucky, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Ne
braska New Jersey, New York, Ohio,
| Pennsylvania and Virginia-wil hold
elections, though only Iowa, Kentucky,
| Maryland, Mississippi Massachusetts,
| and Ohio will elect full state tickets.
OF these the greatest interest centers
| in Nebraska, the home of Bryan Ohio,
always an interesting political battle
ground, and Kentucky, where there are
two democratic candidates for governor.
In Nebraska, only a justice of the SUI
preme court and two members of the
board Of regents of the state university
are to be chosen. Under ordinary cir
cumstances, therefore. but little gen
eral interest would attach to this cleo
I tion. This year. however. Mr.. Bryan
recognizes the Importance of keeping
his state in line and has made vigor-
Gus campaign to that end. Should the
republicans win it probably would have
a depressing effect upon his chances for
nomination for the presidency next
year. Ohio is also a state where presi-
dental issues are considered to be at
stake to certain extent, Should Mr..
Mclean be elected governor it is be-
lieved he would be a formidable rival
to Mr. Bryan for the democratic nomin-
alton for the presidency. A defeat to
the republicans in the presidents own
state would also be depressing to the
republican party. but, 1t is thought,
probably would not in itself greatly in
jure the presidents chance for a re-
nomination. The situation in Kentucky
is even more mixed than it was during
the last presidential election. The
Goebeltes and anti-Goebelites have di-
vided the democratic party and the
probabilities seem to favor the election
of the republican candidate AS Mr.,
Bryan has espoused the cause of Goebel
his, interests are also at stake in the
Kentucky election.

Auditors Annual Report-Dehcit of
Over &G.OOO. 900.

Washington, Nov. 6-The auditor for
| the postoffice department in his annual
report shows that during the last year
| the number of postoffices in the United
States increased from 72900 to 1884;
the number of domestic money orders
issued increased from 27,79s,O72, repre-
senting $401, 1887 to 29,007,SI0 repre-
senting $442, ,4S3, 354--a net increase in
number of 1909, 1872 and in volume Of
Sal, 1,369636. During the year the reve-
nues of the postal service increased

penditures from $97, S53, 407 to $101, ,632, 100
"a net increase in the receipts OF $6,-
00S765 and in expenditures of $377S,752.
Upon this showing the auditor asks for
an increase of thirty clerks as mini
mum requirement for the year 1900.
Considerable space is devoted to the
subject of money orders and statement
is given which shows that during the
last year the system was conducted at
an actual loss to the government of ap-
proxmately s1O5, 5,106, which fact, the
auditor says, would suggest the exercise
of great care in legislating for the en-
ployment of new financial features in
the postal service.
The postal revenues for the year are
shown to have been $95,021, 1854 and the
expenditures S101, ,435.269, leaving de-
felt Of $6,413,SS5. OF this amount the
treasury has advanced $6,000,000, the

WAS UNTITLED SUNDAY.
Beautiful Memorial window at the
Center Church.

| A beautiful memorial window given
| by Justus S. Hotchkiss was unveiled
! in Center church Sunday morning. The
| window, which is the second from the
pulpit on the south side of the church,
was given by Mr.. Hotchlziss in memory
of his father, Lucius Hotchkiss and Of
his daughter, Fanny Winchester Hotch-
kiss, who died six days after her birth.
AT the bottom of the window is inscrib-
ed the following:
In memory of Lucius Hotchkiss
Born March, 1903; Died November 20, 1880;
and Fanny Winchester Hotchkss,
Born July 26, 1879; Died July 81, 1879
The window was designed by Joline B.
Smith Of this city and was put in Sat
urday. 1t represents Christ at Jacobs
well speaking with the woman of Sa-
maria who had come there to draw wa
ter. The passage "Whosoever dHnketh
of this water shall thirst again, but
whosoever drinketh of the water that
shall give him shall never thirst" is in
scribed at the top of the window. The
coloring and drawing are beautiful, as
is also the grouping. The dress of Christ
is of rich maroon over white, and the
prevailing color in the robe Of the wo-
man from Samaria is just a shade off
white. The blue sky and green trees
with the light cloud variation, make
very handsome effect In the two low
er corners of~the window are beautiful
wreaths and at the rear of the well the
architectural wall, covered with a
creeping ivy, adds to the beauty of the
picture.
AT the close of DR.. Snlyth's sermon
Sunday he called the attention. of the
congregation to the beautiful gift, and
said that there was no better way by
which to remember the faithful work of
our ancestors than by a gift Of this
kind The window was greatly admired
by all the congregation, and it Is one Of
the handsomest of it's kind in New Ha-
ven.

ELECTION IN MASSA CH US ETTS.
Republicans Figure ON n Majority OF
from 5O,OOO>to 60 900.

Boston, Nov 6-There is nothing to
indicate that to'morrows election in this
state will prove to be anything but the
customary republican victory. Not
since 1892 have the democrats carried
the state and tonight the election of
Hon. w. Murray Crane, the present
lieutenant governor and the republican
candidate for governor is conceded be-
yond the possibility of a doubt. The
legislature also will be republican by
the usual majority, only the manufac-
turing centers and this city contributing
to the minority in that body. There
are no issues and very few local con-
tests so that conditions are more than
ordinarily normal. Good judges place
the republican majority between $4,000
and 60,0OO the weather being probably
of greater influence on the vote than
party theory.
