GENERAL APATHY IN VIRGINIA.
Democratic Ticket Will Probably VIII
With Reduced Majority.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
RICHMOND, Va, November 4.-More un-
certain than ever is the result of the cleo
tion in this state tomorrow. Never before
has such apathy been manifested by the
democrats in an election, and this fact is
causing the leaders much concern. 1t is
corceded that the white belt will show
large republican gains. If the black belt
fails to give the usual democratic majority
the results will be in doubt. The indca-
tions are that not more than 60 per cent Of
the white vote will be polled.
The democrats will. it is believed elect
the full state ticket, but by reduced ma
jority. A report from Norfolk (city and
county, is that the negroes will vote solid
ly for Hoge and for the democratic nomi-
nees of which there are two factions. IL
this prevails republican majority of 5000
to 5000 is certain for Hoge in the second
district. Mr. Ellison, state chairman OF
the democratic party, would give no fig
ures at noon today Of majorities, contenting
himself with saying I'VE will elect our
state ticket by safe majorities and elect
enough members of the legislature to con-
troll both branches"

BALTIMORE, Md, November 4-The
leaders of both the republican and demo-
cratic parties express the most supreme
confidence today in the outcome of to-
morrow's election in Maryland. At repub-
lican headquarters both Chairman Colds
borough and Senator McComas seemed to be
absolutely sure that their party would
carry all three legislative districts of Bal
timore city and have enough votes from
the counties to give them the general as
sembly on joint ballot The local leaders,
including Chairman Mason of the republi-
can city committee, backed up the claims
of the heads of the state organization, and
there appears to be no doubt as to their
sincerity in what they say
AT the democratic Headquarters equally
strong claims are made by ex-senator Cor
man and Chairman Yandiver. Mr. Cor
man is openly directing the fight here, and
is expected to be in town tomorrow to con-
the result known ss
There is no doubt that the democratic
hopes for victory are based upon the eff
fectlveness of the crooked ballots which
are to be used in the counties where the
preponderance of illiterate voters is repub-
llcan Without these ballots the democrats
would be left badly in the lureh, but they
nope that large proportion of the colored
iei'uoiieaiis VIII pe uflaDIea to mark the
names correctly and thus the democrats
will be able to throw out their votes and
count in their men. s
Both headquarters were today crowded
with workers and politicians, receiving
their share of the Campaign funds for use
at the polls and all seemed to go away
satisfied. The indications are that the usual
bribery and vote buying Will prevail to-
morrow, and that the election will in MANY
sections have the character Of AN auction.

BRITISH AMBASSADOR CALLS.
Ready to Undertake the Conclusion of
the New Treaty.

the New Treaty.
Lord Pauncefote, the British ambassador
called upon Secretary Hay at 1890 o'clock
today to formally announce to the Secre-
tary his return from vacation in England
lasting all summer, and his readiness to un-
dertake at once the conclusion of the new
Hay-Pauncefote treaty. r. The interview
lasted about half an hour. Many topics
were touched upon beside the treaty, which,
as matter of fact, was not given particu-
lar consideration today, s;the conversation
on that point being rather preliminary to
the beginning of the treaty drafting Lord
Pauncefote did not take with him to the
state department copy of the proposed
conVentlon In fact, this document does
not exist as such, for although the principal
points OF the treaty have been agreed upon
between the two principals they have yet
TO pc transferred from protocols into for
ma! treaty. This work Of transference will
begin in about week, according to the
present expectation, and If it proceeds
steadily after that time the new treaty
will be in shape for submission to the Sem
ate Immediately after that body convenes
next month.
Lord Pauncefote did not convey to Secre-
tary Hay any late news respecting the
views of the British government as to the
treaty. The Secretary had been so fully
advised by Ambassador Choate at their
conference at New Haven of the details
OF what had been done in London, and the
cable reports had been SO full that there
was nothing new to he communicated on
that subject.
Lord Pauncefote Is looking remarkably
WELL and is evidently fully prepared to
enter with zeal and energy upon the last
phase of the important work which is now
before him. Mr. Gerard Lowther, the first
secretary of embassy, who served as charge
during Lord Pauncefote's absence, is about
leaving the United States for England.

from Lieut.. Commander Lucien Young.
comnandant of the naval station at Ha-
vana, an interesting report of the cere-
monies attending the arrival and trans
shipment of the remains of Capt. Fernando
Niliamfl, who was in command of the Snan-
ish torpedo fiotilla of Admiral Cervera' s
feet, and who was killed during the battle
of July 3, 1885,

general at Havana, Commander Young had
the United States tug Waban, which was to
convey the remains from the wharf to the
spanish steamer Monserrat, moored out in
the harbor, draped in black and hoisted the
spanish nag at the main and the American
ensign and jack, all at half-mast The cas-
ket was draped with the Spanish flag and
bore large floral anchor which Commander
Young had had made for that purpose The
remains were received on board the waban
by Commander Young, Capt. PeraI of the
Spanish navy and Lieut.. Mccoy, aid to Gov.
General Wood, all in special full dress uni
form, and six on-commissioned officers
were designated as pallbearers.
With swords at present and the artillery
band aboard the Waban playing a funeral
dirge. the remains were taken out to the
waiting steamer, and when they were
hoisted aboard the band played the national
air of Spain. In the presence of many rep
resentatives of the Spanish colony at Ha-
vana, the Spanish consul general thanked
Commander Young in a short speech which
was responded TO by the latter officer. The
Spanish band then played the national air
of the United States, after which funeral
services were held in the dining saloon and
salute was fired from the battery at Ca
banas fortress.
THE solemnity of the entire ceremony"
says Commander Young, seemed to please
and to be greatly appreciated by the Span
ish colony at Havana, as well as the lead
ing Cubans here"

COLUMBUS, Ohio. November 4.-The al
most entire lack OF expression from voters
throughout the campaign makes the man
ayers very uneasy on the eve OF the cleo
tfon. In this respect the campaign is al
most unprecedented. There have been few
er political meetings on both sides than
ever before and none Of the meetings that
have been held have been enthusiastic. So
far as outward appearances go. at least.
the campaign has been a most apathetic
one.
The democratic campaign management
tries to get some encoura cement out Of this
and compares the campaign to that Of nine
years ago, when there was very apathetic
campaign and the republicans carried the
state by only LOO on the head of the
ticket

disappointing to the republican workers,
who note that it is conditional and not pos

stir themselves and avoid the imminent
danger OF light vote.
