Making the Cost 10 the City Only
3l91-2 for Three and n Half Per Cent

The board of finance last night open
ed bids for the new issue of $S65'00O
worth Of bonds and awarded the issue
to Harvey Fisk & Sons and Vermilye
g. Co. of New York, firms which bid
Jointly for the entire Issue. Their bid
was 10357, the highest one received for
the entire issue. Under this bid the

October !, TO the time when they take
the issue, which will be about Octo-
ber 20
Some bids We're received for portions
bid for more than the bid for the en-
tire amount by the successful bidders.
1t was thought at first that by making
a combina ton of some of these bids for
portions of the issue the entire issue
could be sold for more than the New
York firms bid, but after long figuring
1t was found that the most favorable
combination of the smaller bids which
could be made would net about 81 500
less than would be netted by giving the
entire issue at 103.57. The bonds will
bear 31a per cent. interest, but because
of the premium secured they will cost
the city but 03191a.

Returns up to midnight had been re-

and the tables show republican victories
in 103 towns and democratic success in
thirty-five. Full returns from all the
towns in the elections Of 1899 gave the
republicans 125 and the democrats thir-

of last year with those received thus far
from yesterdays election, the republi-

the democrats two. OF the twenty-four
towns missing yesterday sixteen went
republican last year and eight were
democratic. If the missing towns re-

United Mine Workers advised them to
do so. Most of the men have joined
the organization since the strike start

they will support Mitchell to the end
Numerous people hereabouts fear the
operators will not recognize the union,
at least for some time to come and
that the strike is only in it's infancy.

THE PARETA MENT.4 RY ELECTION s
Increased MajOritfes Given for the Cow
ermment's Candidates.

|
London, Oct 1.-The parliamentary
elections continued to-day and on the
whole showed a tendency toward an
increased majority for the government.
In the following boroughs polled to-day
all the sitting members We're reelected:
Devonport, Durham, Exeter, Preston,
Kings, Lynn, Peterborough, Reading,
Rochdale, Wigan and the north and
south divisions of Westham.
In Durham the unionists secured a
majority of ISL, as against one of IS at
the last election. The results in the
other boroughs show little change, with
the exception of very significant in
crease in the unionist majorities in
Westham, where In the north division
the unionists secured q lead of 2,4S0,
against 704 at the last election, and in
the south division lead of 1,196,
against 755 In the lest election. West
ham is a densely populated working
class district at the east end of London
and the result there seems to show that
the liberals have little to hope from the
metropolis.
On the other hand Matthew White
Ridley, son of Matthew White Ridley,
the home secretary was elected at
Stalybridge in the urionist interest by
a majority of 81 against the unionist
majority of 632 secured by II. III. Sid
bottom at the election in 1885,
At Hartlepool Sir Christopher Fur
ness, liberal, received 6,491 votes as
against 4612 cast for Sir Thomas Rich
ardson, liberal unionist, who represent
ed the constituency in the late parlia-
ment. This is liberal majority of. L.
S79 as against q liberal-unionist ma
jority at the election of 1896.
Both the conservative candidates
We're elected at Plymouth, which is a
double barrelled" constituency.
At Oldham, another double barrel
ed'' constituency. one liberal and one
candidate have been elect
ed the latter being Winston Leonard
Spencer Churchill Conservative, eldest
son of the late Lord Randolph Church
i'll.
The returns received up to midnight
show the total number of elected to be
132: Conservatives, 80; unionists, 1S;
liberals, 10; nationallsts, s.
The conservatives have gained sever
al seats and the liberals one. The Hon.
Ivor Guest, one of the successful can
didates at Plymouth, has an American
wife.

1.-THE pressing need Of Galveston is
money with which to shelter more
than 5000 persons now homeless and to
make habitable the home of many
others Some correspondents have sent
out statements to the effect that mill
lions of dollars have been contributed
for the relief Of Galveston One pub
lished statement fixed the amount at
$4,000, 600. These statements have led
the public-the generous, liberal public
-astray, and have had a tendency to
check the impulse to give, because it
seemed that the requirements had been
met. But the real truth is that Gal
weston has up to date received only
$SS1,043. The News has asked the Asso-
ciated Press to spread this statement to
the. world in order that the false i'm
pressions may be counteracted as far as
