EARLY RETURNS
Looked For From New York OW-
ing to Little Scratching.

New York. Nov. 6-2 p. m.-with the
most favorable conditions prevailing
throughout the state the indications are
that the vote will be as large as was ever
polled in the Empire state. The voting
early was unusually rapid, many places
reporting at noon two-thirds of those reg
istered had exercised the electoral fran
ehise- At no polling place in all the state
has any disturbance occurred. The use
of ballot machines in a large number of
the larger cities expedited the voting. The
short time occupied by voters In marking
their ballots is taken as evidence that lit
tie scrat ching has been done and the ex-
pectation, therefore, is that the counting
will be completed early. The country dis
tricts as well as those in the cities and
villages gave evidence of unusual interest
in the contest.

PRISONER GETS VACATION.
BY Mistake of Judge Counterfeiter
Gains Six Years of Liberty.

Columbus. o.. Nov. 6.-Fred Roth, a
counteTfeiter. will have six years of
freedom between two sentences which
he is to serve, and if he runs off far
enough in the interim will get out of
the second sentence altogether.
This is due to the mistake of a Gin
cinnad judge, who sentenced him to
serve second sentence of eight years
for counterfeiting in Cincinnati. This
sentence to commence in 1907, when, on
paper, his present sentence of 26 years
for counterfeiting in Wayne county
would be finished
The judge forgot the good time sys-
tenn, under which for good behavior
Roth has gained six years, and will be
liberated in December. Roth can go to
foreign land if he SO desires. unmo-

SATISFACTORY TO THE PUBLIC.
Bill for Local Street Railway Console.
datiOn Commended.

General satisfaction was expressed in
business and financial circles today over the
fact that Congress has enacted the neces-
sary legislation which will permit the con-
solidation of the eleven street railways in
this District now operated by the Washing
ton Traction and Electric Company. While.
as far as the public is concerned, these roads
are already being operated as If they were
one system, yet up to the present time and
until the provisions of the law which passed
the Senate yesterday can be made use OF
all these roads are controlled by separate
companies with distinct accounts. The Sc
curities of the holding company are simply
collateral, based upon the stock OF the
separate companies. Under the new law
there will be one corporation In place OF
eleven, to be known as the washington
Traction and Electric Company.
To fully perfect the details OF the process
by which this change will be effected may
take some time. but the assurance that the
corporate future of the enterprise is secure
is looked upon as the termination of the
effort which has practically transformed
the street railroads of the District and pro-
vided a system which is not only modern,
but Is believed to be unequaled in this
country. The record of the company in
this respect. the substantial fashion of
making the improvements and the large
sums of money expended in betterments. 1t
is stated. had strong influence In bringing
about this legislation. 1t is the intention to
go ahead and complete what has already
been begun and to perfect the details OF the
mana cement and operation OF the road at
as early a date practicable.

MIR. HAY TELEGRApHs GALL WE'LL.
American Consul at Pretoria Sends n
Brief Message.

The two words "All wel'' was all that
United States Consul Hay had to send to
the State Department upon the occasion of
today. Probably the consul, knowing that
the news of Lord Roberts occupation
would reach the State Department through
the regular news channels, felt that it was
only necessary for him to assure the de-
partment that the United States consulate
had not been disturbed in the critical period
incident to the abandonment of the Boer
capital by its former defendant. 1t must
also be noted however. that the consul has
with scrupulouS nicely refrained from COM
municating in his official dispatches any in
formation whatever respecting the military
situation that might by any possibility be
Instantaneous to the Beers.
With the occupation of Pretoria by the
British the United States consul has nearly
exhausted his usefulness in the Transvaal
He went there at a critical time and has
acquitted himself admirably, showing rare
tact and ability, and managing to discharge
the delicate duties placed upon him of car
ing for British interests to the entire salts
faction of the British. while retaining the
confidence and respect of the Boer govern
mensr to which he was accredited. Now
that she wave of war has passed beyond
the Boer capital. the duties of United
States consul will be much simplif1ed and
reduced to the ordinary routine, so that
Cons:! Adelbert Hay is now at liberty to
su:ned tina, he will avail himself in the
near future of the permission which has
been extended to him to surrender his APP
