TROOPS WILL BE SENT
General Roe Will Order Out Five Hun
 dred Men.

New York, April 15-General Roe an- nounced tonight that he had received a formal written demand from Sheriff Mall Joy of Westchester county this morning to call out 800 troops to go immediately to the scene of the Italian laborers' strike at the Croton dam.
 General Roe has decided to order out ear ly tomorrow morning the Fourth separate company of Yonkers, the Eleventh Squai company of Mount Vernon, Squadron A of New York and Troop of Brooklyn.
 General Roe gave as his reason for or dering so many cavalry and so few infan- try that there are more than six miles of territory to cover and that 1t is necessary to have troops which could move quickly and be scattered. He said also that the topography of the country is exceedingly hilly. General Roe thinks that the 300 men will be sufficient to quell the strike.
 The troops will number 160 infantry and $50 cavalry. Squadron A will furnish 200 men and Troop c will have 150.

CONFERENCE A FAILU RE
Strike Remains Unsettled and Troops
 Will Proceed

Croton Landing, N. T., April 15.-A re- port reached here at 10 o'clock that the con ference in New York was failure So far as bringing about the settlement of the strike, and that troops had been Srdered to come here tomorrow, The news was quickly passed to the strikers, who hastily gathered on the Bowery to discuss the situation.
 The strikers were much excited. An- gelo Rotella, the leader, when infermed of the fact that the troops had been ordered out, was much perturbed and downcast He said:
 "Only some of our men are axs0ed, but they will all be armed in the morning We will resist every attempt by the contractors to renew the work tomorrow with strange men, and we will fight if necessary until the troops get here
 They can keep the troops here for two months, but we men can afford to wait six months, and the contractors will be sorry when the troops go away"

Race Between Tomlinson and
 Shelley is Close.
FRIENDS OF BOTH CLAIM VICTORY
Burgin for Sheriff, Mclaughlin for As sessor, McAdory for Superinten- e.... dent of Education, and Paris
 for Coroner Winners

Results from Jefferson county are still in doubt, except as to senator.
 Both the Tomlinson and Shelley people are yet claiming to have carried Jefferson county in Saturdays primary. The re- turns are incomplete up to date. Several boxes are yet to be heard from Of the beats already reported Shelley is in the lead, but the contest is extremely close and the Tomlinson people claim the boxes yet to report will change the result ana give Tomllnson majority. The Shelley people make claims just to the contrary and the official count will perhaps be nec- essary to decide the result.
 The Vote
 r The following shows the vote reported ,lp to midnight last night:

 MT. Morris Claim


 At 10 o'clock last night Chairman Morris of the Tomlinson campaign committee stated that while the returns received to that hour indicated a majority of about 300 for Shelley, the returns from several large beats had not been received, and when they should come in he felt certain of Tomlinson majority of several hun dred.
 MT. Tomlnsons friends announced last night that they proposed to contest the Ensley beat on the ground of fraud. They also propose to contest the Pump House, Acton and Sayrton boxes.
 Col. Altman's Claim
 Colonel Altman, chairman of the Shelley campaign committee, claimed last night that he had returns in from enough beats to insure General Shelley the county by majority ranging from 1900 to 1,40o. He said he, had heard from about forty voting places, and that these gave the general majority of between 1900 and 1,40O. At the time Colonel Altman made his statement he had not heard from Bessemer nor Pratt City. He expected Bessemer to give Gen. eral Shelley majority that would about offset the majority Pratt City was expect GU tU give MI. iohiiilSoAi' OehSA oS"eS 'iAe@e he claimed would give General Shelley ma jorities, are: Toadvine Meeks. Leeds. Smiths Mill, Henry Ellen. Trussville, Hardwood, Linn's and Flat Creek. He said that Tomlinson would probably have small majorities at Short Creek and Aaron's, and that Williams, Selfs Partridge, Guin and Locust Fork were doubtful. He was con- fident, however, that General Shelley's ma. jorty would not fall short of 1900.
 Claim Burein's Election
 B. M Allen, manager of A. W. Burgin's campaign, last night claimed MT. Bur- gins election by over 600 plurality. He said he had official returns from 39 pre- cincts and that these gave MT. Burgin be- tween 600 and 700 more votes than the next highest man. He claimed that returns from the other precincts will not change the result.
 The completed count at Bessemer re- duces MT. Miller's lead for county treas- urer to very narrow margin. MT. Gray's plurality at that box was s9s. It also in- creases H. W. Cooks vote to over 1000. and almost assures his election to the board of revenue.

Burlington, Vt, April 15.-A special from Waterbury Vt., says that John c. Farrar, teller of the Waterbury National bank, is missing and that there is defalcation of $25, 900 of the banks funds. The community is greatly shocked by the news, as Farrar was considered a model young man. His parents are very estimable people, and two years ago he married a young lady of high standing. Farrar had been speculating in stocks, and it is generally believed that he used the money in that way.
