MISSISSIPPI.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 6.-As only the
offices of state treasurer and secre-
tary of state were to be filed, little
interest was manifested in the cleo
ton. kilograms from larger towns
indicate that the temporary incum-
bents, George w. Carlisle and Joseph
w. Powers, who are appointees of
Gov. Longino, have been elected state
treasurer and secretary of state, re-
spectively. Fuller returns will not
be received for day or two, as nu-
merous precincts are off the rail-
roads and without telephone connec-
ton. All the candidates were dem
ocratS.

Boston, Nov. 6.-With no state or
national issues and but few local con-
tests 10 arouse interest, there were
more ballots cast in the state cleo
tion yesterday than in any off year in
the history of the state. The total
vote exceeded 100000.
AS usual the republicans had no diff
nculty in carrying the state, w. Muir
ray Crane, of Dalton, being elected
governor for the third time by prac-
tically the same majority as when he
first ran for the Office in 1850. The
state legislature of 1902 will be
strongly republican.

which the political wind is blowing.
The republicans claim that in the re-

Lincoln, Nov. 6.-Indications based
on meager and scattering precinct
returns are that Nebraska has reaf-
firmed her verdict of last year in ia
vor of the republicans. Figures from
the smaller towns and few country
districts show republican gain of
four to the precinct over a year ago,
when the average republican major
ity was $500. If these gains are
sustained Sedgewick, republican, for
supreme court justice, will carry the
state by from 5000 to 10000. At re-
publican headquarters the claim is
made of 10000.

Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 6.-The result
in Iowa is remarkable. With a
marked falling off in the vote
throughout the state, the loss in some
precincts being between 40 and so per
cent. in the total vote and the aver
age loss for the state one-fifth of two
years ago. A. B. Cummins, the repub-

House Railroad Committee Decides
on Adverse Report

The house railroad committee has de-
cided on an adverse report on the "dou-
ble-header'' bill The bill was drafted to
prohibit or at least regulate, long trains.
The requirements of its provisions would
have a tendency to do away with them
and substitute two trains for one. as the
expense would be the same to the COM
pany, practically, and would give work
to the same amount of men, whichever
way was followed
1t provides that for every ten cars over
thirty cars IN a train an extra brakeman
shall be put on. Hence, if double-head-
ed train Is run with TO- so or 80 cars there
will be necessary as many men to run
1t as for two trains.
The committee disapproved the bill, it
is understood. upon the ground that the
safety appliances in railroading are SUI
ficient guard against wrecks and legisla-
ton on the matter IS unnecessary
There are many friends of the bill in
the house among the shippers who hold
seats and a strong lobby is not to be SO
readily satisfied with the action of the
committee. The double-header is a griev-
ance not only to the railroad employe, but
tothe cattlenlan and shipper. and all these
interests are represented on the floor and
in the lobby. The bill will not go down
entirely without an effort to revive IT.

SUBSIDY BILL DEAD.
Opposition Will Not Permit 1t
to Come to a Vote.

Washington, Feb. 16.-That the oppo-
sition to the shipping bill in the senate
will not permit a vote to be taken on
the measure at the present session was
made clear during the closing hour Of
yesterdays session. For several days IL
has been evident that it would be dif-
ffcult to gain unanimous consent to take
a Vote on the measure, but not until
late yesterday was the frank assertion
made that a vote could not be had Ar
the conclusion of several hours consid-
GRAFTON of the bill Mr.. Teller announced
his purpose to prevent a vote al this
session. In an impassioned speech he
declared that he would not consent to
any agreement to vote, and that it must
be evident to the advocates of the bill
that no vote could be had. This state
msnt elected a sharp response from MIR.
Aldrich, who insisted that despite the
declaration Of Mr.. Teller the business
of the senate would proceed in accord
ancc with the wishes of the majority.
Mr.. Chandler asserted that the position
Of the majority was preposterous, ana
Mr.. Hanna replying to Mr.. Teller be-
came impassioned in his denunciatiou
of the methods employed by the oppo-
sition to defeat the measure. Prior to
these remarks Mr.. Perkins fCal) de-
livered an eloquent and forcefm speech
in support of the BILL but pointed out
what he believed to be defects in it, He
attacked especially the provision for the
admission Of foreign built ships.
