Coast Trade of Morocco.

The State Department has been informed
by Consul General Gummers at Tansier
that the Sultan of Morocco has decided to
open the coast trade in his country SO as to
permit grain. fowls, vegetables and other
articles OF food to be freely transported
from port to port. Heretofore. 1t is stated.
there has been a tariff which prevented
such trade and this action OF the sultan
will prove a great boon to the poor people
of the country. The consul general clearly
demonstrates the need for such action by
stating that there have been times when
barley and wheat became SO scarce round
about Tangier AZ to bring exorbitant prices.
while further down the coast at Casa
Blanca and Saf1, where the land Is remark
ably fertile. grain was SO cheap as not to
lowed to rot in the fields: yet not a bushel
OF 1t was permitted to be transported 10
any other port by sea, the only practicable
route. The new order OF affairs. says Mr..
Gummere, is the direct result Of the in-
duence Of the British government.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.


CAPE MAY, N. j., November 3, 1901.
The political campaign in New Jersey
practically closed with the meetings in the
large cities last night. 1t has been one Of
much enthusiasm on the part of both the
republicans and democrats. Both candi-
dates for governor-James NJ. Seymour.
democrat, and Franklin Murphy, republi
can, have visited every county in the state
and made addresses, and spent great deal
of their time in handshaking. The orators
have been bitter in the denunciation of the
record Of their opposing parties, while but
little has been said against the personality
Of either candidate by the spellbinders.
Both men are personal friends. and during
the present week on two different occasions
sat in the same seat in the train when rid
ing to the same section Of the state.
Much interest Is being taken in the legis-
lative fights, as well as in the contests In
the cities. where municipal elections occur
for the first time together with the state
contest.
Both Of the state central committees have
given out their estimates Of the result of
next Tuesday, and they are widely differ
ent. The republican committee claims that
Mr.. Murphy viii be elected by over 10000
plurality, while the democratic committee
claims the election of Mr. Seymour by
6, 100. The latter committee gives their es-
Inmates out in county majorfties.
The republicans do not give county fig
ures. To the onlooker 1t is evident that
the contest is going to be close. The regis
tratton is not SO big in the cities as was ex-
pected. This is regarded as favorable to
the democrats. Three years ago Gov yoor-
hees only had plurality OF 5,499 about

Seymour Is serving his third term as mayor

ELECTION RESULT IN DOUBT.
Political Leaders In Montgomery u
able to Make Predictions.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
ROCKVILLE, Nd, November 4, 1901.
The eve OF the election finds the political
situation in Montgomery county a problem
very difficult of solution. HERETOFORE the
more astute of the leaders of the two par
ties have not hesitated to venture predic-
ticns as to the results of elections, but the
effect of the new election law. with its
educational qualifications" is so uncer-
tain that no one seems willing this time to
place himself on record in a forecasting
role. All hands now concede that every
thing depends upon the operation of the
new ballot law. The law was passed for
tn: purpose of disfranchising the colored
illiterates, and democratic hopes of success
are centered upon the law proving to be
effective In this respect. II these hopes are
fully realized the county will go democratic
il. on the other hand, the law fails of its
object. the republican candidates will re-
ce3ve substantial majorities.
There are probably greater dssensions in

Senator Bouic and many of his friends are
In open revolt against the ticket because. of
the alleged unfair treatment of the senator
by the state leaders. Many of the Bryan
democrats are wholly Indifferent, and some
will doubtless vote with the republicans as
a rebuke 10 the German leaders for their
lack of interest last fall. The anti-Gorman

DEMOCRATS NOT ABSOLUTELY SURE
OF CARRYING STATE.
Most Optimistic Party Leaders Only
Claim MaJorities From 5000
to $4,000.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.

RICHMOND, Va, November 8, 1901.
The campaign is closed and the party
leaders are anxiously awaiting the battle
of the ballots Tuesday. There is more un-
easiness in the state this year than since
the memorable campaign between Cameron
and Daniel-just twenty years ago. Chair
man Ellyson Of the state democratic COM
mittee is reported as having stated to a
well-known politician that he did not ex-
pect to see the state give more than $1,000
for Montague, while others are putting the
majority down as low as 8,GO0. The most
sanguine Of the Montague men do not put
his majority at more than 10000. and the
general belief Is that 1t will fall between
10000 and 10000 No show of interest in
the election or campaign has been evil
denced until the last ten days or two weeks,
the Roosevelt dinner giving the democrats
constitutional convention. Since that time
the changes have been rung by the stump
ers on the subject OF negro rule and social
equality. The leaders and supporters of
Mr.. Montague say that the size Of his ma
jority will be due to interest created on
the stump in the discussion Of the question
Of negro rule, the text being the dinner
given to Booker Washington
There is little betting going on in the
state, and what there is is on the question
of majorities for the nominees. A few of
the bets are that Montague will carry the
state, but none has been reported at other
than even money that he Will get over 25,-
GOO, while some are that he win get 1900.
A good deal depends upon what the 'biack
belt, will do. II the negroes vote as they
generally do, then Montague will have
close call, for 1t is conceded In best-in-
formed circles that the white counties are
going to get out of the democratic column
Tuesday. In the counties where there is
opposition to the democratic nominees for
the legislature 1t is expected that the state

The statement was published here yes
terday that in some quarters It is believed
that Senator Daniel will retire from the
Senate at the expiration of his present
term, whether he has opposition or not
due, 1t is alleged, to the state of his health,
which has not been good for some time.
Senator Daniel was forced to abandon his
duties as member of the constitutional
convention several week ago, and the con-
sideration of the suffrage question in the
democratic conference has been delayed
because of his absence. He is now at his
nome, near Lynchburg, and letter from

To Enlarge brooklyn Navy Var

It is probable that Secretary Long, In
his annual report to Congress, will recon-
mend that a large tract Of land adjacent to
the Brooklyn navy yard be purchased by
the government. This tract comprises nine
blocks Of the city from Nassau street to the
river front, and it is estimated will cost
100000 This proposed addition is due to
the fact that the Brooklyn yard facilities
are inadequate for the increasing work.

Some Stray Verses
Back From Buffalo.

They're coming back from Buffalo
In trains on every road
And every mothers son of them
Has stories to unload.
From early morn till late at night
There comes a steady flow
OF tales about the wonders seen
Up at the Pan-Am. show
Words almost fail them when they spea j,
About the scenes at night
When stately buildings. broad and high
Are one great blaze of light
They tell about the SOndoliers
Who paddle to and fro
And sing the songs of Italy
In accents sweet and low
Were told about the midway's sights.
Where patrons who are rash
Discover. when they make the round
They've coughed up lots of cash;
For there are many things to see
And souvenirs to get.
And that is why the chaps who plunge.
Their rccklesSness regret
And then were told about the grub
OF meals that look so well in print
But fail to satisfy.
We're also told of feet made sore
by trudginG all day long
And of the ewes that need black spcc,
because the Glarc's too strong.
Yes. many are the tales were told
BY fellows who'Vc been there
And oft we hear them Ger again
When stories they compare.
But thousands more have made their
plans
To see the Pan-Am. show,
So months must pass before wcll hear
The last OF Buffalo.
