had not thought of doing so. He has

any other senator. but he wanted
something which the senators in con-

he hit upon the statehood bill as the

place, and he signed conditional bills for SS75,O00. On these bills Eissler raised money in Berlin from a numerous group of persons. which included Pincus and the two Mendelssohns and Baron von Muenchhausen was provided with the cash with which he paid the expenses of his journey to the United States.
 Eisslers partner in this adventure waS a ladys maid. who had formerly been in the service of the rich American woman referred to by Eissler. She prs eeded the baron to the United States to negotiate the marriage. but her efforts were not successful. The name of the heiress in question was not disclosed in court. Baron von Muenchhausen did make the acquaintance while in the uni- ted States of Martha Washington Beckel, a widow of moderate wealth whom, ac- cording to the German peerage, he mar ried December 23, 1S9S Since his marriage the baron has been living with his wife on his estate near Schwobler, Hanover.
 On his return to Germany, Baron von Muenchhausen had to reckon with the holders of his bills. A compromise was negotiated with Pincus and the Mendel- sohns, who surrendered his paper on the payment of comparatively small sums. Baron von Muenchhausen afterwards ac- cused these men of blackmail and the matter was brought into court. Pincus and the Mendelsohns were acquitted of the charge.

RHEA IS ELECTED.
Republicans Claim That Democrats
 Will Perpetrate Steal.

Bristol, Tenn, November 6.-The fol- lowing statement was given out from Congressman's Rheas headquarters this evening regarding the election in the Ninth Virginia district:
 Later official returns cut down the estimated majority claimed for Slemp, and his claim of certain election is not substantiated by offAial returns. We have never conceded Rhea's defeat, but claim that he is elected by a small ma jority. The republican ieaGers state on reliable information that the clerks of several counties favor them. that they have held up the returns in some coun- ties, and that they will make the ma jorities large enough to elect Slemp. The democrats are confident and rely on of ficial reports only"
 Chairman Lindsey of the republican executive committee has issued counter statement. denying that Rhea has been elected, and insists that the democrats are endeavoring to perpetrate a steal.

NEW YORK DEMOCRATS
 WILL MAKE A FIGHT
0pparen Majority of Ode is 9122, But Committee Claims That Thousands of Defective Ballots Were Cast-nspectors
 Burned Them Up in Direct Violation of Law

We claim the election by safe ma- jority of John Cunnen as attorney gen eral, and the reelection of John Clin- ton Gray of the court of appeals.
 We have reliable information of thou sands of defective ballots having been cast, and in certain districts, where the returns were strongly republican, the ballots were burned by the inspectors im- mediately after they were counted, which is direct violation of the law, as they should be kept six months by the proper officials before they should be de- stroyed. These facts and all others will appear before the canvass boards in all the counties of the state on next Tues day to see that an honest count is had. and until that time the actual result cannot be stated.
 MT. Campbell would add nothing to the above statement. The dismantling of of the state headquarters followed soon after the issuance of the statement.
