PLEASED WITH THE VESSELS.
Inspection of the Transports BufOrd
and Fitzpatrick.

General Ludngton and Col Bird of the
quartermasser's department returned here
this morning from visit to New York
where they made a thorough inspection of
the transports Buford and Fitzpatrick, which
are about to start for Manila with 1000 re-
c1uits for General MacArthur's army. Gen.
Ludington said he was very much pleased
with the condition and equipment of the
vessels and was confident that they will
render most efficient service. Although not
SO luXu11ously appointed as the transport
Sumner and some of the other troop ships
fitted out last year, he says the Buford
and Fitzpatrick are fine ships for the pur-
pose, being stanch and seaworthy and pro-
vided with every facility for the comfort
ard health of sthe troops. Special provis-
ions were made for the ventilation ard sani-
tation of the vessels. Each ship is pro-
vided with 1000 berths, and it is expected
that each will take its full complement Of
soldiers to the Philippines. The Buford
will start on her long voyage across the
Atlantic for Manila on the 7th instant and
will be followed by the Fitzpatrick a week
later

APPEALS TO MOB VIOLENCE.
Criticism of the Declarations q
Croker and Chairman Jones.


Croker and Chairman Jones.
The declaration Of Richard Croker tend
ing to incite riot at the polls and mob vio-
lence in counting the vote, backed up as
it has been by Chairman Jones Of the DEM
ocratic national committee, has evoked
widespread criticism. Here is one of the
strongest statements hear6son the subject,
coming from prominent republican states
man:
There are two organizations in the coun-
try today which stand as convicted or con-
fessed fraudulent operators at the polls,
one Is Tammany Hall in New York. under
the leadership of Richard Croker, the other
is the southern democracy, now under the
leadership of Senator Jones Of Arkansas.
Both of these organizations either have
been convicted of or confessed to fraudu-
lent practices at the polls. Senator Tillman
openly avowed it in the Senate as to the
south Tammany men have been sent to
the penitentiary for it in New York. Now
the leaders of these two organizations pro-
pose to defeat the will of the people and
openly proclaim defiance of regularly estab-
lished and lawful methods. Do the people
of the United States want President elect
ed by votes counted by Tammany mob
under the direction of Richard Croker and
by southern methods under the direction of
Senator Jones? These are questions for
the people to ask themselves in view Of
the recent declarations by these democratic
leaders,

BETTER CONDITIONS IN HAYTI.
Report of the Death of the Presiden
is COntradicted.

The Haytian minister, Mr.. Legere, has re-
ceived a cable dispatch from his country
contradicting the report of the death of
the president of Hayti. The minister is
just back from visit to Hayti, where he
found the business depression and unfavor-
able conditions of a year ago entirely re-
moved. At that time the failure of the
coffee crop and the high duties against 1t
caused serious depression, and there was
some delay in meeting the bonded debt
Now, however, a general state of prosper
ity has set in. Hayti has effected a reci-
procity treaty with France, under which
favorable figure.
The reciprocity treaty with France leads
to the prospect that similar arrangement
may be effected between Hayti and the
United States The Haytian government
some time ago expressed it's readiness to
take up such a reciprocity arrangement, if
the United States desired it, and that at
ttude continues today. The United States
stands first in the trade with Hayti, and
there is felt to be greater reason for reci-
procity with this country than with any
other. The reciprocity terms given to
France are not shared by this government,
as our favored nation clause in the treaty
with Hayti does not give US the benefit of
the reductions accorded to other countries,
so that there is felt to be added reason for
a reciprocity arrangement which will place
American trade on the same footing with
that of France.

BOTH SIDES CLAIM KANSAS.
Republicans by 25.OOO Majority and
the DemOcrmts by 10000.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
TOPEKA, Kan, November kansas to-
day is claimed by both parties. Morton
Albaugh, chairman of the republican state
committee claims the state for Mckinley
by a majority of 2J,OOO. He predicts the
election of the republican candidates for
Congress in all districts, including Charles
F. Scott for Congress -at-large, and a ma
jority of the members in both branches of
the legislature.
Chairman Ridgely of the populist state
committee also claims the state for fusion.
His latest estimate is 10000 majority Ten
days ago he claimed 10000. Mr. Ridgely
will not however, give figures on the con-
gressional or legislative districts. He in
ssts that the populist vote will be larger
than in 1896. About the only district which
is really in doubt is the third. 1t is iocated
in the zinc and Galena mine region, and
four years ago it rolled up a huge ma
jority for Bryan. This majority will te
largely decreased this year, even Mr.
Ridgely admits, owing to numerous de-
fections but a late poll still shows Jackson
the fusion nominee for Congress. ahead of
Wheatley. Republican National Commit
teeman Mulvane said today that Mckinley
would get the electoral vote of Kansas by
50 600 majority.

SHlPBU1LDERS' ACHIEVEMENT
Remarkable Reconstruction of an
Italian Passenger Steamer.

Quite remarkable achievement in ship
building is recorded in a report recently re-
ceived at the State Department from Vice
Consul Nixon at Newc2 2stle-on-Tyne
The fine Italian passenger steamer Sa-
voia at that place has been pulled COM
pletely TO pieces, reconstructed from her
keel up, and - transformed that the orig
inal builders g-JUid not recognize her if
they should meet her crossing the sea. She
has been cut in two, stripped practically
from stem TO stern new decks have been
put in and serenty feet in length have been
added. What is considered the most re-
markab bic feature Of her reconstruction is
that her after end has been remade to in
close the shafting of her twin 81 eWs which
formerly were bracketed to the stern frame
Ihls is said to be feat unprecedented in
snip repairing. A great many other altera-
tons were made in the course of her trans
formation The rebuilt boat showed most
satisfactory speed trials and is a vast
improvement upon the former SayOia

everything had Quieted down when the
shooting occurred.
Overs went to a store in the ne1ghbor-
hood, purchased a 3S-caliber revolver and
then went in search of Donaldson. He
found the young man in the camp OF two
men named Davis and Smith. and, walking
into the tent with a revolver behind him,
addressed a few words to Donaldson and
then deliberately fired a ball into the young
mans stomach Overs made desperate
attempt to escape, but was captured at
Mt. Airy by Deputy Sheriff Luber of Mt.
Airy, who notified Sheriff Charles P. TroX-
ell of Frederick.
Overs was brought to Frederick early
this morning and lodged in jail. Donaldson
sent to Baltimore hospital this morn
ing in dying condition. The people in the
community were deeply stirred up over the
matter, and if Overs had not escaped when
he did, there would have been a serious
outbreak. The act is looked upon at being
one of the most cold-blooded killings that
has ever been heard of in this county.

Butter Sent to the Orient is Not Kept

Over 100000 worth of butter and cheese

recently made in the press bureau of the
democratic national committee shows strik-
ingly how narrow a margin divided demo-
cratic failure from republican victory in

each in the vote of the year necessary to
elect Mr.. Bryan next week. Taking the
Bryan and Mckinley vote in the states

THE VOTE IN OHIO,

Republicans Made Uneasy by State
ment by Senator Foraker.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, November 1.-Some
uneasness has been caused in republican
circles by an authorized statement from
Senator Foraker, published today, to the
effect that he estimates the result in Ohio
at from 10000 to 10000 plurality for Nc
kinley. 1t corrects a statement recently
published purporting to come from him es-
timating the result at 10000 republican
plurality. The general Interpretation of
this latter statement is that Foraker ex-
poets a slight republican slump in Ohio
