PRESIDENT RIPLEY IN GUTHRIE
Outlines His Roads Policy as to Road
Building in Oklahoma.

Guthrie, o. T, Nov. 7.-President Rip
ley of the Santa Fe, is making a tour of
inspection Of the new lines being built by
his road out Of Guthrie and other parts
of the territory. He is accompanied by
J. G. Mccall, president of the New York
Life Insurance company; Z. n. Gibbs,
treasurer OF the New York Life and one
of the Santa Fe directors, and Mr.. Ed
Z. Aver of Chicago. While in Guthrie for
a few hours, President Ripley rather
clearly indicated the policy of the Santa
Fe and Rock Island as to future railroad
extension in Oklahoma. He said there
was no possibility of the Rock Island
building southeast from here; that it
woul drum directly into Guthrie on the
Santa Fe track, or double track, and
the territory and shops for this would be
here. He said there was no doubt what
ever about the building of the Rock
Island to Guthrie: that the contracts for
the mutual building of the line were
signed up by both directors at their meet
ing in June last: that the survey would
be approved some time this month and
work begun, he thought, within sixty
sixty days, and that when work was be-
gun they expected to complete the road
within sixty days to Guthrie.
I'VE are building the line eastward"
continued Mr.. Ripley, because it goes
through a very rich country, and a coun-
try that must have better railroad facili-
ties. We believe this line will pay, and
pay well, and that the growth of the
country tributary to it will add largely to
the Santa FEES freight and passenger in
come. The building Of the line from Guth-
RE to Kingfsher is a necessary connec-
ton Of the east and west. 1t will bene-
fit the towns on the line, and the terri
tory as a whole. However, railroads do
not build especially to help towns. They
build to enlarge their business and this
is what we expect to do through the vari-
Gus branches we are building in and out
of Guthrie"
The Santa Fe will ask Guthrie for
twenty or thirty acres of ground for ter
lninal facilities for the Pawnee and King
fisher roads. II will build thereon shops
and a roundhouse.

ADVANCE IN THREE DIVISIONS
Wheaton. Macarthur and LawtOn En-
route to Surround AguinaIdO.

Manila, Nov. 7-5:45 D. m-General
Wheaton's order was to land at or near
San Fabian, fishing village twenty miles
northeast of Dagupan. The insurgent
force there only numbered about 200 men,
entrenched whereas, at Dagupan, there
are some thousands of insurgents and five
miles of strong trenches. The Mounts
river is blockaded General Wheaton is
supposed to have landed today, though
communication with him is not expected
until tomorrow The weather has been
good since he started and he should have
been able to take the trenches without
great loss of life. From San Fabian Cen
eral Wheaton can control the roads of
escape from Tarlac to the northeast,
making junction with General Lawton.
General Macarthur will begin his adj
vance towards Tarlac tonight. General
Lawton will resume his advance tomor-
row, though in the fact Of great difficult

L0WNDES BEATEN BY 10000
Senator Wellington Says Ii Is a Pure
Nv Personal Defeat.

| Baltimore, Nd, Nov. S.-Returns from
! both the city and state have been very
slow in coming to hand and at 2 o'clock
| this "wednesday morning the full vote
from only thirteen wards of Baltimore
city have been received, while in the
state not single county is complete. The
thirteen complete wards in the city, with
the. balance estimated, show a plurality
for Smith, Democrat, for governor, of
7,541, while in the balance of the state his
plurality will probably be between $500
and 5000 The Democrats have carried
the three legislative districts in Balu-
more city and the probabilities are that
they will have 70 members in the lower
house of the general assembly, while the
Republicans appear to have elected but
16. The senate will be very close, with
the chances slightly favoring the Demo-
cratic claim of a majority of ?. On the
face of the returns the Republicans have
carried but five counties in the state, viz:
Alleghen, Charles, Garnett, Anne, Arundel
and Somerset Five others are doubtful.
These are Carroll Dorchester, Prince
Georges, st. Mary's and Calvert. The
Democrats have carried beyond a reason
able doubt the remaining thirteen, incud-
ing Frederick and Washington. by ma
jorities ranging from 1900 In Baltimore
county and 1.OOG in Dorchester town 10
very close margin In some Of the others.
A special from Cumberland to the Bal
timore Sun quotes Senator Wellington az
saying that this was one Of the happiest
days of his life. The senator added: THE
defeat of the Republican party in this
contest was not a surprise to me- At the
time of my retirement from the chair
manship of the state central committee
of the party there was no question in my
mind as TO the result. This is not de-
feat for the Republican party; it is a
defeat for Lowndes and his personal al
lies"

Vet 10 Hear From

Denver, Colo, Nov. 7.-Today's election
has resulted in a complete victory for the
Democratic ticket in this (Arapahoe)
county, by plurality from 10000 to $1,000
and possibly by a clear majority. The
Silver Republican vote will not reach
$4,000 out of a total of 350,OOG cast in the
county. The result is largely due to the
popularity of the proposition TO issue
bonds for the city of Denver for the con-
structios of a municipal water plant
which was advocated by the Democrats
and opposed by the other arties. The
proposition carried by a large majority.
The women were very active during the
day. as well as during the campaign. Re
turns from the state are very meagre
and indicate that results are mixed. only
county officers were voted for in this
state.

IN JUDGE SCOTS TIME

Guthrie, o. T, Nov. Frank McMas-
ter, the well-known newspaper man and
politician Of Oklahoma City, has filed a
petition in the supreme court to set aside
the judgment rendered by the court in 1891
which was rendered in the famous con-
tempt case in which McAIaster figured on
one side and Judge Henry w. Scott on
the other. McMaster was held in durance
by Sheriff Fightmaster of Oklahoma
county on three separate counts, viz:
Contempt Of court in bringing suit; con-
tempt Of court through newspaper pub
ncation and contempt in open court. His
punishment was fixed on each count, at
six months in Jail and $500 fine, aggregat-
ing eighteen months in jail and $500 in
fines. The trouble originally grew out of
a controversy between McMaster, who
was then editing a newspaper in Okla
homa City, and Henry W. Scott, an as
ISOLATE justice of the supreme court.
