stitutiOn. and some months ago consump-
tion developed with rapidity which COM
PEELED him to leave his post in the bank

his recovery.

which had been planned. should be car
ried out. Yesterday the ceremony was per-

CALLS 1T A PEOPLES VICTORY.
Seth Low Comments on Result and His
Election.

New York. Nov. 5.-About II O'Clock Mr..
Low gave out formal statement in which
he said:
THE outcome of this election is splen-
did vindication of universal suffrage From
all parts of the city have come the votes
that have rebuked the Tammany orgie of
the last four years. All the patronage Of
the city and limitless money have not
ayailed against the aroused Indignation OF
the people. and it is safe to say that alb
sentee government and government for prl-
vate gain will not be seen again In New
York City for many a day. This is no man 5
triumph, but it is the peoples victory.
The agencies that have brought it about
are many. Those who labored so long and
so patiently to bring about the successful
fusion of many elements and those who
have supported the fusion so loyalty are all
entitled to the greatest credit For myself,
l ask for the generous and constant support
OF the community in the great task to which
it has summoned me-"
Mr.. Low is in receipt of hundreds of tele-
grams from prominent men, not only in the
city, but also from different parts of the
State and country, among them being con-
gratulations from President Roosevelt and
Senator Foraker of Ohio.

BIG wAGERs ON THE RESULT.
John W. Gates Credited with 100000
Winnings.

REfl BLU SPEtlAlA
New York. Nov. 5.-Probaby no municipal
election was made the medium of such
heavy speculation as that which closed to-
night with the success of the fusion ticket.
1t is conservatively estimated by good
judges that $4,000 was wagered on the
battle for the mayoralty of New York. Nor
was this speculation confined to professional
betting men, many of the big wagers
chronicled from day to day were credited
to citizens with few or no sporting ten
denotes.
As far as can be learned authoritatively
the heaviest individual winner on Mr.. Lows
election is John w. Gates. whose profits are
put down as 100000. while the man who
suffered the worst financially from back
ing MIR. Shepard is David johnson.
Though the latter undoubtedly placed a
lot of syndicate money. it Is known that
me had more than 100000 of his own staked
on the result.
Among the professional betting men who
have profited largely over the fusion sue
cess is George Wheelock. a bookmaker,
whose winnings will probably foot up s7O,-
coo.
Another big Individual winner Is Lieuten-
ant Governor Woodruff, who, 1t is said by
his friends, was behind many OF the large
commissions placed by professional bettors
on the fusion candidate.

Boston. Nov. with no State or ma

arouse interest, there were more ballots
cast in the State election to-day than in
any off year In the history of the State.

Josiah Quincy, the Democratic candidate
for Governor ran about 10000 behind the

materially increased the Democratic vote

confidence for a party victory in the mu-

Fine weather proved an excellent incentive
for going to the polls, which probably ac-
counted for the heavy vote cast In all dis
tricts.
The election was remarkably quiet one,
although there were one or two contests for
State Senators that aroused some interest.

AMERICAN GIRLS.
Tenant Who Rented Sir Frederick
Miners Town House Expect
ed to Be Paid Well.

SPECIAL BY CABLE.
London. Nov. Sir Frederick and Lady
Miner do not like the idea Of renting their
town house for the purpose of introducing
into society wealthy young American girls.
Lady F. Miner. tall and dignifed. entered
the witness box in the court of Mr.. Justice
Wills yesterday and gave evidence in the
suit which her husband, Sir Frederick Mil
ner. has brought against the well-known
firm of auctioneers. Messrs. Lumley, New
ton and DOwell.
Sir Frederick desiring to let his town
house. No II Hereford Gardens. Park Lane.
put the matter into the hands of Lumley &
Newton \ tenant was found. but proved
TO be extremely undesirable"
Sir Frederick claimed damages on the
ground that the auctioneers did not make
sufficient inquiries as to the tenants char
acter. The tenant in question, a lady.
took the house for a year at a rental of
100 guineas. Sir Frederick and Lady Mil
ner went out OF town and when they re-
turned, according to Lady Miner. the car
pets were entirely ruined by six dogs which
had been kept in the house.
A Dresden china tea service had been al
most absolutely destroyed and innumerable
chairs and tables had been smashed.
1T took a charwoman a month to clean
up after the tenant had left said Lady
Milner, and, to aggravate matters, only
one quarters rent was paid"
Sir Frederick Miner was questioned as
to the lady tenant, but said he knew moth
ing about her except through Messrs. Lum-
ley. who wrote to Sir Frederick that the
lady had taken the house with view to
introducing into society two wealthy young
American ladies. who would have paid her
we'll Sir Frederick replied that he never
would let the house any such specula-
tion. At last he was driven to legal pro-
ceedings to recover possession Of his house.
He levied an execution for rent, but the
tenants personal effects were worth only

Croker TerseIy Explains Cause of
Democratic Defeat.

New York, Nov. 5.-At 10 O'Clock tonight
Richard Croker, commenting on Mr.. Shep-
ards defeat, said he could not ascribe II to
any one issue.
The people wanted a change" said he,
'a,d the organization bows to the will of
the people. Tammany Hall has been in
power for practically seventeen years, and
II any one party were to remain in control
for too long period the tendency would be
toward a perpetuation of power until the
result would resemble a monarchy.
'Tsmmany has always profited by defeat
and, l hope, will do so this time
Mr.. Croker said that all dissatisfied per-
sons had voted against the Democratic NOM
inee and that had contributed much to the
result. As TO his own plans for the imme-
diate future, he had nothing to say. He
said. however. that Mr.. Low would have

REPUBLICAN DAY IN IOWA.
Returns Indicate a Plurality for
Cummins of 10000.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Des Moines. Ia. Nov. 5.-Republican man.
ayers at midnight estimate n plurality of
1000 for A. B. Cummins. Republican candi-
date for Governor. The plurality is great
surprise to the Republican managers even
who did not expect such a change, but
thought the vote of this year would be
about like that of two yeats ago and but
slightly more favorable to the Republicans
The estimate of the managers was 5000
plurality for Mr.. Cummins. They believe
tonight that full returns tomorrow will
show at least $1,000 plurality for Mr.. Cum
minis and the entire State ticket. and some
of the more sanguine believe 1t Will reach
100000 or more than Mckinley got last
year. when nearly 100000 votes were cast.
Not only the falling off in the Democratic
vote, but the change from the Democratic
to Republican ranks has surprised the man
ayers of both parties. Indications are that
the Republicans have gained at least eight
members of the Legislature and that 1t VII!
show a vote as follows on joint ballot:
Republican. 123.
Democratic. q.
Senators Allison and Dolliver are to be re-
elected by the Legislature which was elected
