standing around trying to figure out
what they were there for. As a rule
the voters would have very little to do
with them. There were all kinds of
vehicles flying around the precinct
bringing in the voters who could be
induced to ride and there was life and
plenty of it around each polling place.
The vote came out better than was
ever before known IN the history of
the precinct and by noon fully one
half of the ballots were in the boxes.
This IVES in part due to the perfect
weather and in part due to the unusual
interest taken in the election.

arose over the right OF the Parsons
family to vote. They were challenged
b. the Democrats and the Republicans
threatened to mandamus the judges to
compel them to take the ballots. Mr.

IN the Twelfth district the Repub-

so kind as to invite in all the Demo-
cratic judges and workers as well as
the Republicans 1t was a good idea
and was highly appreciated by all.
In the Eighteenth district Mrs. Mary

on the ground that she was a pOlyg-
amOus vile, although she had been
voting for the past ten years She
came TO this country and would have
become q citizen by marriage had she
not been a plural wife.
The Republicans of the precinct
seemed to be very much surprised at

liens were ais much surprised at
the amount of the scratching done by
the Republican voters. They had ex-

would be done by the Democrats. It

The American is in receipt of letter
from Mr.. George Lind, jr.. of Baltimore,

FOUND LOST PASS.
Rediseovery of a Practicable Route
Across the Southern Andes.

New York SUM
More than 100 years ago, Father Me-
nendez, while travelling among the
mountains in the northern part of Pat
agOEia, discovered a pass through
which, he said, a practicable wagon
road might be made from the Pacific
ocean through all the mountain ranges
to Lake Manuel Huapi. by far the larg-
est lake in the southern part of South
America, and on to the Allan ic ocean.
1t became known as the Bariloche pass.
In those days it was thought that no
good would ever come out of Pata-
gOnia. Very few explorers or other
white men visited this region and
Father Menendez's discovery, though
utilized for a time, was almost forgot
ten till some twenty years ago when
ranChmen began to move down to the
neighborhOod Of Lake Manuel Huapi
and found the grass was good and 9TH
er crops might be raised. Then Citi-
zens of Chile and Argentine began to
look around for this pass in the noun
tains, and although they sought dill
gently they failed to find it.
The description which the pioneer
priest had given of his important dis
cOvery was, unfortunately, very vague
and painfully lacking in detail. and
hunting for the pass IN that rough and
tangled mountain region was a good
deal ike looking for q needle in a hay
stack Finally the official explorers
whom Argentine and Chile have long
kept in the field. began to take q hand
in the search. They used their utmost
care. but all in vain until this late day.
when the long-sOught-for pass has at
last been discovered and traced by the
/ Chilean engineer. Captain Barrios
Petermann's Mitteilungen prints a list
of all the valleys and big rivers and
their little tributaries through which
this comparatively lowlying and tortu-
GUS route runs from the Pacific ocean
to the big lake Of Patagonia 1t is not
worth while to reproduce them here AMI
most Of them are the names Of valleys
that have not yet appeared on any Of
Our maps. One or another explorer has
struck the route in a part of its course,
( but, somehow, has never succeeded in
connecting it with the other parts for
any great distance. But there is no
doubt whatever that the route which
Father Menehdez and some of his sue
cessOrs followed has been rediscovered
in its entirety. Here and there are
found traces of the old patch and there
are many blazed trees which the orig
inal discoverer is believed to have
marked.

Numerous Fistic Encounters Without

Numerous Eistic Encounters Without

The latter part of last evening and
the early morning proved productive
Of numerous squabbles and rows among

Cured, but none resulted in any seri-

Much excitement was stirred I'D in

by scuffie in which young fellow
named WolstenhOlme was thrown into
the gutter and received a slight cash
on his head. A report was immediate
~ started that he had been cut. and
the police were notified that the man
had been slashed all to pieces.
Chief Hilton, in the patrol, hurried
to the scene, but finding that VOL
stenholm was not hurt much. he sent
him home with his friends.
Earlier in the night Republican head
quarters was the scene of short but
lively mix-Up between Detective Z. A.
Franks and "JOde" Weller. a young
politician. What the difficulty started
over could not be learned, but it is said
that Weller suddenly Jumped" Franks

any bruises. After the fight each went
his way and no more trouble resulted.

RUSH IN THE FOURTH.
Votes Piled in Until the Polls Were
Closed.

votes FlIed IN Until the Polls were
Closed.
The Democratic workers We're out in
force up in the Fourth. and were ex-
tremeIy confident that the old reliable
would stay where it should be. and
where it always has been. The vote
was heavy, S. per cent of it being out
by o'clock in the afternoon. The rush
continued until shutdown. In the indie
pendent school house, NO. 81, the Demo
cratic ladies served lunch to an appre-
ciative lot of judges, workers and
voters.
In the FOrtieth, as an example of the
activity of the opposition, a. Republican
breakfast was given by one of the wo-
men of the district, and the twenty
female voters present walked right
from breakfast to the polls. This gave
the Republicans the privilege OF saying
they were in the lead. but only for a
short while. At 4 p. m. Democracy had
a lead of thirty-five in this one district.
Precinct Chairman Thomas was all
over his territory at the same time. and
he stated that If the Fourth went to
the opposition it would not be through
a lack OF energy on the part of his as
sistants. The organization in The
Fourth was never better than it was
yesterday.
There were no incidents Of a sensa-
tionaf character. the election going off
very quietly in this precinct.

PLAYWRIGHT IS ARRESTED.
j. Cheever Goodwin is Accused False
" Of Fraud.

New York, Nov. 6.-J. Cheever Good
win, the playwright. was arrested on
the charge of false registration. He
was taken to the station but soon re-
leased. as it appeared that an error had
been made in writing Sixty-seventh
street for Sixty-eighth street.
It was discovered today that blue
pencils were in use in the polling places
in the Sixteenth election district of the
Thirteenth assembly district, located
in Tenth avenue.
How long the blue pencils had been
used. or how they, came to be in the
booths has not been learned.
1t is estimated, however, that fully
half of the total registered vote had
been cast at the time of the discovery.
The vote had been heavy in the dis
tTict all morning.
The election district is one that
nearly always gives, it is said, Dem
Ocratic majority. Ballots marked with
blue pencil are void.
A newspaper late this evening warn
ed voters that blue pencils would be
placed in some of the booths.

SHOOTING IN PHILADELPHIA.
Followers of Congressman McAleer
Are Attacked.

Philadelphia. Nov. 6.-At noon a
small sized riot broke out in the Four
tenth division of the Fourth ward,
where Congressman McAleer resides.
A number of negroes entered the
polling place and attempted to vote.
Their votes being refused, they drew
revolvers and a number of shots were
fired. Paddy Mcbride, a pugilist of
some note, judge of the division, and
said to be a relative Of Congressman
McAleer, was badly injured about the
head by being struck with e. revolver,
and with Hugh McC1oskey, another
McAleef' follower, he was arrested.
Three of the negroes were arrested
and locked up. In one division of the
Fifth ward, which is a part of this
congressional district the official bal
lots were stolen and had TO be re-
placed by others sent from the county
commissioners office
