MARTIAL LAW IN
SEVERAL NATAL DISTRICTS

LONDON, Nov. 6.-Advices from Cape
Town under date of November say that
martial law has been proclaimed in the
districts occupied by the British troops
between the Orange River and De Aar.
The Premier, w. P. Schreiner, has sent
a circular to the magistrates and others
warning all persons against statements to
the effect that the Parliamentary institu-
tions and constitutional government will
be lost or detrimentally affected He adds
that the proclamation of martial law is
only a matter of temporary urgency in
some districts and does not compel the
burghers Of the colony to participate in
the "deplorable hostilites.'

Holstein grandson of Queen Victoria and
captain IN the Kings Royal Rifles, and
other officers have left Cape Town for

PENNsYLvA1!IA's CONTEST.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 6.--What little
interest IS manifested in to-morrows elec-
ton in Pennsylvania IS centered on the
vote for State Treasurer and particularly
as to which of the two prominent candi-
dates for that Office will receive the
greater portion of the big independent
vote cast in the general elections of the
last two years. DR.. Swallow, the reacher,
editor and Prohibitionist, received lis, 1854
votes for State Treasurer in 1897 and 131,-
6S3 votes for Governor in 1895. In these
years the Republican candidate had plu-
ralities, respectively, of 129,7n and lis, los
The Swallow vote was cast largely by in
dependent voters of the leading two par
ties, who were dissatisfied with the party
issues or their party leaders. This year
there is no independent candidate to draw
these votes and the Democratic leaders
claim that Greasy, their candidate for
State Treasurer, will benefit from this in
dependent vote. Furthermore, they claim
that vigorous efforts to prevent illegal
voting in this city will result in reducing
the heretofore large Republican majority
returned from Philadelphia.
The Republican State chairman and 9TH
er party leaders, however, confidently
claim that Barnett, the Republican candi-
date for State Treasurer, will receive the
full party vote and that he will have a
majority in the State of at least IT'S 000
The total vote for Governor last year was
965 900, but the general prediction is that
the vote this year will fall fully 200 900
below these figures

OHIO WILL BE CLOSE.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 6.-There are six
candidates for Governor to be voted for
in Ohio tomorrow. Three of them claim
Mayor Samuel NJ. Jones and his most
Jealous supporters make any such
claim as that OF the election
Of Jones. Jones' vote will re-
duce the vote Of all the others, including
ing that of the Prohibitionists. the Union
Reform and the Social Labor tickets, and
the result depends very materially on
where most of the Jones vote will come
from.
1t is certain that either George K. Nash
(R.) or John r. Mclean Cd will be elect
ed. If Jones pulls more from the Demo-
Gratis than from the Republicans the pre-
diction of Chairman Dick that Judge
Nash will have $4,000 plurality may be
rect in assuming that Jones will draw
much more heavily from the Republicans
than the Democrats, then Mclean will be
elected. The Democratic managers have
made much capital of the fact that Jones
had been Republican up to this cam
paign and that he was himself connected
with a trust and that he would not pledge
himself to vote for Bryan in 1900.
AS Ohio is normally Republican State,
Jones could draw most heavily from the
Republicans and still not affect the result
were It not for the factional feeling which
may also cost Judge Nash some Republi-
can votes. 1t Is conceded that all the
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

Yesterdays meeting Of the Board Of

Politics proved a stronger attraction than
municipal business and the session last
ed Just an hour The most important
matters transacted were the numerous
street contracts and sewer matters. Gas
contracts and the plans for the proposed
City and County Hospital went over for
another week upon the suggestion of the
Mayor.
The recent action Of the board discharg-
ing all Of the present patrol drivers in
the Police Department was made good by
an order transferring s11.424 from the po-
lice patrol fund to the Police Department
salary fund, which was adopted without
one dissenting vote. This means that
hereafter the Police Commissioners will
have the appointment Of their own pa
troll drivers and that they will appoint

The campaign closed tonight with large
meetings which were addressed by the
State party leaders. The Democrats
crowded Music Hall to listen to the last
speeches of their leaders, William Goebel
and Senator Blackburn, before the cleo
ton. The Republicans held a rousing
meeting at the auditorium. Each of
the State chairmen predicts success for
his ticket and in any guess as TO the re-

OUTLOOK IN BRYAN'S STATE

LINCOLN, Neb, Nov. s.-The Nebraska
campaign closed tonight with rallies at
a number of the larger towns. There was
a thinning out at committee headquarters
during the day, but much activity In the
way of sending out final instructions to
precinct workers. Estimates of the chair
men at Republican and Populist head
quarters do not vary greatly, and con-
servative men OF both sides believe the
result will be close.
In this city and county Judge Reese
(R) for Supreme Judge, will run ahead
of his ticket slightly, due to his personal
popularity, this being HIS home, and his
managers contend that the same rule will
hold good all over the State. They refuse
to admit of the possibility of defeat for
the head of the ticket, but are not so
sanguine for the two university regents.
At the State House, among the fusion
officials who have been stumping the

HEALDSBURG'S WATER
FIGHT IN THE COURTS
Light and Power Company Sues the
City to Prevent Building of
Another Plant

SANTA ROSA, Nov. 6.-Actions were
commenced here this morning by the
Healdsburg Electric Light and Power
Company against the city of Healdsburg
and Board of Trustees, City Treasurer
and Contractors Stanley and Martin, ask
Ing the Superior Court to enjoin defend
ants from constructing water and light
of building. Plaintiff alleges that amend
ment of the original plans for construc-
tion of the works by the City Trustees
renders the original contract and plans
void
The conditions of the suit are very much
like the suit brought by the old water
works company here against the city of
Santa Rosa at the time of the building of
the municipal water works. Another al
legation of the complaint is that revision
of the original plans of construction of
both systems means a damage to the city
of Healdsburg of about $4,000.

ALLEN WINS IN MAINE.

PORTLAND, Me-, Nov. e.-Amos L.
Allen, Republican candidate for Con-
gress in the First Maine District, was
than $500 votes over Luther F. McKin-
ney, the Democratic candidate. With the
town of Dayton. in York County, to
hear from, Mr.. Aliens majority is 1851
Dayton will doubtless reduce this, but
not enough to bring it below 1900.
The First Maine District was Speaker
Reeds district last year, and he had
nent. At that time Mr.. Reeds plurality
was 5526 over Mckinney but there was
a prohibition candidate, who pOlled 673
votes, thus reducing his majority to 479l.
There were only two candidates this
year, but it is evident from spoiled bal
lots that a considerable number of pro-
