intruding and remarked that it was an
embarrassing situation. To this the
admiral assented. He said that he
would rather be excused, under lie cir
cumstances from telling what his plans
for the honeymoon were.
SEEK THE CABIN.
After five minutes in this semi-circle
of the curious, the admiral and Mrs.
Dewey walked into the cabin, which
was almost empty and sat down to-
gether on one of the side benches away
back in the stern of the boat. They
were alone only for few minutes, how
ever; then one by one persons began
to walk around the cabin and to take
seats opposite, and in another five min
utes all the seats were crowded. The
admiral appeared slightly embarrassed
but he talked on unconcernedly to Mrs
Dewey, trying evidently to appear un-
conscious of the curiosity of the other
passengers. He took it all good ma
turedly.
When the boat reached the Cortlandt
street ferry house the crowd hurried
out to the street in front to see the
distinguished passengers to their car
riage and to give them a cheer. A big
policeman, knowing who was coming,
for them to come through. The admiral
did not come out the way the crowd
expected, however He apparently did
not attempt to evade the curious, but
he simply went down with Mrs. Dewey
to the lower floor of the station, instead
of leaving by the wide stairway to the
street, and took one Of the Pennsylva-
mia Railroad Company cabs.
CHEERED IN THE STREET.
A cheer rose from some boys at the
carriage entrance to the station, and
the carriage sped out and across to

of their cab and into the door, before
another crowd had time to gather.

are not to be heralded in advance. The

was here few days ago that he was
to be married today, for he had every

CONTEST MORE THAN LIKELY.
Fraud Charged in Some Of
the Mountain Dis
trictS.

Louisville. KY, Nov 9.-A confusion
of claims and counter claims, to quiet
which the official count, or perhaps a
contest before the legislature, will be
necessary, is all that is left of Ken
tucky's election. About it all, vehe-
ment cries of fraud committed or con-
templated are heard. Each side claims
the election of it's ticket by plurality
of about 1000 and presents figures to
back up the claim.
These figures in some counties vary
widely, and it is impossible to tell
which side if either has accurate re-
| turns Chairman Long of the repub-
| lican committee, when asked for an es-
| innate of the vote on the gubernato-
rial race, said: Il can furnish the ac-
| tual figures. On the face Of the re-
turns, Taylors plurality is 41S6. All
of the precincts have been heard from
except II districts, not including the
returns from Kenton and Breathitt
| Gen. Taylor said he was sure Of his
! election by majority of not less than
1000. Taylor said that official and semi
| cial returns from nearly every precinct
| had been received. A special from
Frankfort quotes Gov. Bradley as say
| ing Taylor has been elected by at
least 10000 majority and he will be the
next governor of Kentucky"
On the other hand, returns from DEM
ocratic sources show a plurality on the
face of the returns of about 1000 for
Goebel. This the democrats claim. is to be
affected by returns from some missing
precincts, where the democrats can
hardly do worse than break even. Mr..
Goebel and Senator Blackburn, in in
terviews at Frankfort today, openly
charged the republicans with fraud in
the eleventh district, from which the
returns are coming in very slowly. The
indications point more strongly than
ever to contest before the legislature,
which, there seems no reasonable doubt,
will be controlled by the democrats.
Whether or not the members belonging
to that party will stand together on
questions affecting the contest, cannot
now be foretold.
The canvassers, which meet tomor-
row, simply count and tabulate the re-
turns The state board of election COM
missioners then finish the work and
decide questions affecting contested
ballots. This commission certify to the
election of officials, giving the correct
number of votes after the decisions Of
committees on contested ballots have
been recorded.

. New York, Nov. 9-Mrs Russell Sage
of New York, wife of the man Of many
millions, is a busy woman. Her work
for the Woman's hospital occupies a
large share of her time. In addition to
this, Mrs. Sage has signed and is cir

FIGHT TO A FINISH.
Journeymen Plumbers Expel Daily S
Men From the Union.

The Journeymen Plumbers union is out
to fight the firm of Edward j DAILY &
Co., master plumbers, to, a finish. At the
meeting of the union, in labor headquar-
ters, last evening, Michael Field Frank
Fielder and William Patterson. members
of the union who were employed by. Mr.
DAILY, were expelled.
When Mr.. Daly's Pearl street shop was
put under the ban of the local union he
cause of a discovery that he bought
goods of the Callahan Supply company
the journeymen in the employ of Mr.
Daily were ordered out. There was a
skirmish, and Mr.. DAILY announced that
he had taken the three iourneymen into
partnership, thus removing all traces of
non-unionism in his shop The local
union considered the scheme one con-
cocted for the sole purpose of besting
the opposition and because of the trio
of journeymen's allegiance to their en-
ployer, the men were expelled last night
The other union men employed by Mr.
DAILY are at work, and the union intends
to conduct a battle along the lines sug-
gested by Mr.. Daily in his diplomatic
lodging. President Harney considers the
move one aimed at the Organization to
defeat its objects, and he was supported

When asked her views on the Rob-
erts question, Mrs Sage said, with an
air of conviction: He is a Mormon;
that should be sufficient to unseat him.
Before Utah was admitted as a state
the Mormons promised to give up po-
lyganly, but they have not kept faith.
They have belied themselves. l have
signed a petition against Roberts, and
am circulating it. | have written to
my friends on the subject. and am on
the point of sending out special letters
to persons of prominence.
When ask-d if she was interested in
the proposed woman's hotel, Mrs. Sage
said: Il am heartily in favor of it,
though | have not yet taken any shares.
1t is a splendid idea. Mr.. Mills has built
two hotels for men, and think women
are entitled to one for themselves: If
directed by women the enterprise
should be a success, for women are
not extravagant in the handling of
funds. 1t has been my experience that,
though some women spend great deal
of money OH dress, yet as directors or
handlers of a fund they are more care
full than men,"
