RATE OF EXCHANGE IN SIAM.
The Eject of the Recent Troubles
China.


The effect of the recent troubles in China
has shown itself in the high rate of ex-
change in Siam, and is the subject Of a re-
port to the State Department by Consul
General Hamilton King at Bangkok.
Exchange at present is much higher in
Bangkok than it has been for many years.
and the cause is attributed 20 the great de-
mand for silver, caused by the Boxer
troubles and concentration of foreign troops
in China. The Hong Kong and Shanghai
Bank of Bangkok Notwithstanding this
great demand, has locked up in its vaults
at present over 100 tons of silver ticals. The
Chartered Bank of India, Australia and
China has over eighty tons Of silver coin
which it would be glad to put into circula-
ton
The consul general ascribes two causes
for this serious state of affairs. One given
by a Siamese bank official is as follows:
although all our rates, with the eXcep-
ton of Hong Kong, are quoted in the same
manner as in the Straits and Hong Kong,
nevertheless the silver tical is the currency
of Siam and dollars do not circulate at all.
To find the true tical-sterling rate, the ster-
ling rate should be multiplied by three and
divided by five. The tical weighs about 236
grains and is minted from British or Mex
lean dollars melted down. The mint gives
so ticals for $4S which is equal to mining
charge of 81 per cent. The mint will not
accept bar silver for coinage into ticals''
The second cause is framed by himself,
and is as follows:
THE disturbed condition of affairs in the
far east and the poor rice crop last year
dustries. of the country-the teak lumber
and rice trades-and' closed the avenues
through which this large amount of ioca!
coin finds it's natural outlet"

Continuation of the Hearing in the

NEW YORK, November S.-The first wit
ness today in the hearing of the proceed
ngs against John F., VIM. I. and Edward
H. Gaynor and Captain B. D. Greene, be-
fore United States Commissioner Shields, to
remove the case to the jurisdiction of the
United States courts in Georgia was
Fred Gillespie, a clerk in the United
States district court for the eastern
division of Georgia, where the defendants
were indicted for conspiring to defraud the
gov ernment. Attorney Rose examined the
witness in regard to the revision of the
jury list for the Savannah division in
March, 1897.
District Attorney Erwin objected to the
line of testimony as he said, all the mat
ters were on record. Mr.. Rose contended
that the jury had not been properly drawn,
and therefore the evidence against the de-
PENDANTS could be given no weight because
the jury had no legal existence. The wit
hess said the jury list for his district was
revised under the direction of Edward S.
Elliott jury commissioner There were orig
inally 562 names placed in the box. AT
the time the November grand jury was
drawn there were 365 names in the box, Of
which 200 belonged in Chatham and Glynn

REPUBLICANS CLAIM NEBRASKA.
State Chairman Says Mckinley Has
Snfe Majority.

CHICAGO November S.-Nice Chairman
Henry C. Payne of the republican national
committee today received telegram from
the chairman of the state committee of Ne
braska, stating that the republicans car
ried the state by a safe majority; also that
they have the state senate and in all prob
ability will be able to organize the house.
A prominent official of the War Depart
ment this afternoon received telegram
from Assistant Secretary MeikleJohn, VINO
is now at Fullerton, Neb., saying positively
that Nebraska has given its electoral vote
to Mckinley and Roosevelt, and that the
state legislature is republican. 1t is con-
ceded on all sides that Mr.. Meiklejohn Is
in a position to get the latest and most re-
liable information on the subject. His tele-
gram is dated Fullerton, Neb, November
s, 1900 and is follows:
Nebraska is redeemed. Mckinney mas
carried the state by not less than 5,oVo.
The legislature is republican. both houses.
(Siened) "MEIKLEJOHN.'
The news contained in the above telegram
is especially gratifying to the officials OF
the administrati ton generally and to the
friends of Mr.. Meiklejohn in particular, as,
in addition to adding the electoral vote OF
the state to the republican column, 1t nrac-
tically insures the election of Assistant
Secretary Meiklejohn to the United States
Senate as the successor of Senator Thurs
ton whose term will expire March next.
and who has declined reelection. 1t ls
further significant in that the result OF the
election in Nebraska prec.udes the pos
sibility of the election of Mr.. William j.
Bryan or any other democrat TO the pros
pectve senatorial vacancy.

1000 Democratic.
LEG S L A TU RE IN DOUBT

OMAHA, November S.-The Evening Bee
prints table on the national ticket giving
complete returns from fifty-five counties,
and on ten other counties, with one pre-
cfnct missing from each, out of total of
ninety counties, giving Mckinley 80 22S;
Bryan So, 1856 The same counties in 1896
gave Mckinley. S5,415; Bryan, 96.547. This
is net gain for Mckinley of IA sos Bry-
ans plurality in 1896 was 1850. With this
ratio of increase throughout the missing
counties, Mckinley will have a plurality of
about 5000 in the state. There We're 1900
to 1900 more votes poled in the state than
in 1896, and the fusionists claim these are
mostly from the cities and towns, which
have already been heard from, and that the
counties yet unreported will give Bryan a
small plurality in the state.
The state ticket is running close to the
vote on President, and 1t may require the
official count to decide on governor and
other state offices. Both sides claim four
out of the six congressman. The legisla-
ture is closer than any other ticket. The
Douglas county delegation will be split
about in half, between fusonists and re-
pubicans. The latest returns indicate that
neither side will have more than five or
six majority on Joint ballot

REPORTS FROM MIR. coNGER.
Efforts to Bring Foreign Ministers
Into Agreement.

Efforts to Bring Foreign Ministers
Into Agreement.
Additional reports from Mr.. Conger this
morning record the progress of the efforts
being made at Pekin to bring the foreign
ministers into agreesaent as to the basis
of negotiation with China. The department
still declines to nlaks public any of the de-
tails of the deliberations of the ministers
and it appears that this reticence is a mat
ter Of international agreement, the purpose
being to avoid presenting any Of the differ
ences that may arise from time to time to
the notice of the Chinese plenipotentiaries
who might use them to serve their own ends
However, the statement is reiterated that
progress is being made towards a satis-
factory conclusion, and it Is hoped that
within short time it will be possible to,
at least, initiate the formal negotiations
with Chinese plenipotentiaries.
No advice has yet been received here con-
firming the report that Russia has annexed
territory in Chih-li province, and the i'm
preston prevails that II the Russians have
occupied any territory there, 1t is simply
military movement in preparation for the
maintenance of the Russian forces at
suitable base on the road to Pekin to pass
the approaching winter.

WILMINGTON, Del, November S.-Un-

today show the total vote to be as follows:

McKinley's plurality, 4013.
The official count is being made today,
and while it may change these figures II
will make no difference in the result.
Alexander M. DAILY, democratic nominee
for Congress, ran about a thousand ahead
of the Bryan electoral ticket
There is no change in the complexion of
the legislature as given out yesterday but
there is great interest in the official count
of today, as there is probability of the
count changing the result in some of the
close districts, and possibly changing the
complexion of the legislature from republ-
can TO democratic The count began at 1O
O'Clock this morning and will occupy all
day and possibly run over tomorrow.

DEMANDS UPON MOROCCO.
The Presence of the Kentucky May
Induce Prompt Compliance.

Acting under instructions from the Secre-
tary Of State, United States Consul Cen
eral Gunnere at Tangier has made strong
representations to the Moorish government
officials urging the prompt payment Of the
indemnity demanded by the United States
government for the killing of Marcus Essa-
gin, a naturalized American citizen, by a
mob at Tanger about year ago.
Essagin, though at first supposed to be a
Frenchman was naturalized American
citizen. He became involved in an aiterca-
ton with a Moor, against whom he had
accidentally run, when a crowd Of the
Moor's comrades fell upon him and beat
him to death. The Moorish government dis
claimed responsibility for mob violence OF
that kind. but the United States govern
ment contended that the Moorish govern
ment had failed in its obligations in not
furnishing the perpetrators of the crime.
Now Mr. Gunnere is directed again to pre-
sent the case, with an urgent request for
settlement.
1t so happens that the big battle ship
Kentucky is just making her way through
the Mediterranean to Manila, and If she
touches at a Moorish port, she will be
very likely to do her presence may have
beneficial effect in stimulating action upon
the consurs demands.

THE SENATE.
1t VIII Comprise 53 Republicans. -
Democrats and o INDEPENDENTS.


Democrats and o Independents.
A large republican majority is assured for
the Senate after March 4, 1904. Provided
republicans are elected in accordance with
the political complexion of legislatures just
elected there will be forty-nine repub-
licans. twenty-seven democrats and nine
independents in the Senate, while there Is
still doubt in regard to the legislatures of
three states which have the priv..ege of
electing in all five senators. The legisla
lures of Nebraska Delaware and Idaho are
still in doubt, but Nebraska and Delaware
are regarded as practically sure for the re-
publicans, while Idaho will probably be
democratic In the event of these legiSla-
lures being indicated, the republicans
will nave fifty-three in the Senate, the
democrats twenty-eight, with nine inde-
pendents. Senators Kyle of South Dakota
and Stewart of Nevada acted with the re-
publicans in the last session of Congress,
though they are classed as Independents.
Turner Of Washington, Harris of Kansas
and Wellington of Maryland are also in
cluded in the nine independents, though
each has acted with the democrats.

Leslie Combs, chairman of the republican
state campaign committee, said:
I'VE still believe that Mr.. Yerkes has

Our figures show that Mckinley has run
800 votes behind Yerkes. At least 5000
republican ballots have not yet been count
