CONGRESS FAVORS
 MORE ARBITRATION
PAN-AMERicANs WILL INCLUDE IN THEIR TREATY MORE SUBJECTS THAN WERE CONSIDERED BY THE HAGUE CONFERENCE.

Mexico City, November 5.-The pros- pect for a treaty of arbitration and court of arbitration which will be sumbitted to the Pan-American conference tomorrow by the Mexican delegation is largely framed on lines raised by The Hague peace conference. However. 1t proposes an increase in the number of obligatory subjects for arbitration and creates vari- ous sanctions with a view to coercion or punishment of nations which after sign- ing treaty fail to live up to it.
 Among the sanctions proposed are the following:
 'The aggrieved nation and any other nation sympathizing with it may termi- nate their treaties with the offending power before the proper date for their expiration. Members of the offending power on the court of arbitration may be erased therefrom, and if the majority of the nations signing the treaty approve, a note of censure may be addressed to the said power.
 Tn extreme cases the disapproving powers may suspend diplomatic relations with the recalcitrant government"

 Perhaps the greatest surprise of the election next to the defeat in Staten Is- land of Congressman Nicholas Muller. who was a canoidate for borough presi- dent ht the orough of Richmond, Is the apparent triumph of the county ticket in the old city and county of New York. For justices of the Supreme Court Morgan J. O'Brien Samuel Greenbaum, John Proc tor Clarke and James A. Blanchard, the fusionists candidates were all returned, defeating Robert A. VanWyck, Charles w Dayton and Charles H. Knox. Jus tice OBrien was nominated upon both tickets. Mayor VanWyck ran heavily behind his associates on the judicial and county tickets.

Conservative Estimate Indicates They Will Control Legis-
 Iature on Joint Ballot
BALTIMORE CITY IS CLOSE
Anything Like Accurate Figures Are Not obtainabIe, and the Chair men of Both Sides
 Claim State.

Baltimore, November GA conserve tive estimate based on about half the vot- ing precincts in the city and unofficial returns from the state made at a. m, indicates that the Democrats will control the Legislature. and will have probably 67 votes on joint ballot. which is six more than majority.
 In order to attain this result it will be necessary that they carry the second leg islative district in Baltimore city, which seems probable. Not more than half the returns from the city are in. and these show an unusually close contest.
 It Is not believed that the majority for either party in Baltimore city will ex- ceed 20O0 Anyt hing like accurate figures are not obtainable.
 Before going home for the night the chairman of both the Democratic and Republican State central committees gave out informal statements in which they guardedly claimed both the city and the state, without giving any fig ures.
 At o'clock this morning only half of the returns are in. One hundred pre- cincts are giving Herring, Democrat, for Comptroller, 11.09O Platt, Republi- can, 121S6. The first legislative district of Baltimore with sixty-nine precincts missing. gives the leading Republican candidate SsS2 votes while the leading Democratic candidate has SS04. The others range from 36o4 to 37ss' and the delegation is about evenly divided be- tween the two parties as indicated by the returns now in. The second district is probably Democratic, while Che Third is almost surely Republican.
 The figures from the counties come in very slowly.
 Later returns show large Republican gains n the city, and it is now asserted that the Republicans have carried 1t by 5000. They also claim all three legisla- tive districts ir Baltimore city.

but suffered a loss in the Senate.
 With no state or national issues, ana but few local contests to arouse inter est. there were more ballots cast In the state election today than in any on-year in the history of the state. The total vote exceeded 300,000.
 As usual the Republicans had no dif- ficulty in carrying the State, W. Murray Crane being elected Governor for the third time by practically the same ma tority as when he first ran for the office in 1899.
 The State Legislature of 1900 will be strongly Republican. although the Democrats gained few votes. Joshua Quincy, the Democratic candidate for Governor, ran about 1000 behind the vote cast for the party candidate in the Presidential election last year, but he so materially increased the Democratic vote in Boston as to give the local lead CTS great confidence for a party victory in the municipal election next month.
 Josiah Quincy, former Mayor of Bos- ton, carried the city today by pluraii- ty of 7699 in his contest with W. M. Crane for the Governorship This Is a gain of about 460O over the plurality ac- corded in this city last year to Robert Treat Paine, Jr., in his contest with Governor Crane. The total vote cast shows a natural falIing off this year. Last November Governor Crane received 35, 597 and today his votes numbered 31, 456 Paine's vote in 1900 was 3S.39e; Quin- cy's in 1901 is 89,155.
 At 1 a. m. returns from every city and town in the State except the town of Dartmouth give Crane. Republican, 1S5,- 800; Quincy. Democrat. 115,370. Last year the total vote of the State was: Crane, Republican. 22s. 054; raine. Demo- crat. .13o.o7s. Crane's plurality in the State. approximating Dartmouth. Is 70, ,40s.

PENNSYLVANIA.
Republicans Elect State Treasurer and
 Supreme Court Judge.

Philadelphia, November 5-Returns from the state indicate the election of Frank G. Harris, Republican, for state treasurer, and William Potter, Repub- lican. for Supreme Court justice by plur- alities considerably below those of 1899, wien Barnett, Republican, had 110.6ss plurality. The reduction of the Republican plurality is due in part to the light vote cast.
 John Weaver, Republican, is probably elected district attorney in Philadelphia over Rothermel, fusion, out at midnight returns are in from only six of the forty one wards, and an estimate of the Repub- lican plurality is therefore not possible.
 Seven out of forty-one wards in Phil adelphia give Harris Republican. for state treasurer. 16,706; Coray, fusion, 16,- D46
 Pennsylvania voted today On threc pro- posed amendments to the constit ution, which provide for personal registration and votir machines. While returns on this portion of the ballot are meagre, there is little doubt that the amendments carried The propositions must however, be accepted by the Legislature, which meets in 1903 before they can be embodied in the constitution.
 Notwithstanding the interest the cleo tion throughout the city was conduced generally in an orderly manner There were, however, numeI ous disputes at poll ing places, and in a rumber of instances the disputants came away with broken heads. but no very serious rows occurred anywhere. The regular Republicans and the fusionists charge each other with wholesale fraud, and promise to make numerous arrests. Tfere were many ar- rests today for violation of the election laws. but in nerrly every case the offen- der was promptly bailed out by political friends.
 Returns up to 9 a. m indicate the elec- tion of the Republican state ticket, F. G. Harris for state treasurer, and William F. Potter for Supreme Court judge, by 60.0oO to 10000 plurality. The vote in fa- vor of the proposed constitutional amend ments in the interest of ballot reform is overwhelming.
 Estimates from sixty-seven counties of the state give Frank c. Harris Republi- can. for State Treasurer an apparent plurality of 51,01s; William P. Potter. Republican for Supreme Court Judge 44.s07 plurality.
 In Philadelphia Rothermel. the fus,on candidate, for District Attorney was beaten by 43,47S plurality. .Harris min rality in this city was s4, ,961 and Potters. was 31.9A. c. H.
