BRATE THE OVERTHROW OF TAMMANY
The present state Of mind of certain peopIe
with reference to locating the place where the
credit for the recent fusion victory belongs as
well as to the scramble for share of the spoiIs
was we'll illustrated by two stories told by John
>. Wise at a dinner in Madison Square Garden
in celebration Of the defeat of Tammany the
other night. The first OF these stories was aimed
at several members Of the Citizens Union who
were present at the time. 1t runs as follows:
"A young fellow who was making his first
shooting trip in the Maine woods had taken with
him an old guide whose craftsmanship was well
known. In the course of a mornings ramble
partridge went UP suddenly ahead of them.
Both raised their guns and fired the guide at
the bird. the young sportsman at the atmos-
phere generally. The bird fell. and both rushed
to get 1t. The guide got to it first and picking
II up, presented it to the young hunter and
said good naturedly:
1t don't make any difference which of is
hit him. as long bagged him."
Mr.. W.ses second story which was aimed at
the patronage problem. ran this way:
"A Southern family had for many generations
occupied a backwoods plantation. Here they
lived In free and unconventional fashion.
When il was dinner time the old colored mann
my would bring in the food OF the meal place
IL on table and then blow a cow horn to call
the men from the fields. The discovery of coal
In their plantation changed the family condi-
ton suddenly from poverty to wealth. The
family moved to Atlanta and adopted more dig

disagreeable and confusing. The number Of
plates necessary for the various courses was
particular source of annoyance At last she dis.

The crowd then turned the landlady and
demanded that they either get their orders or
have chance to get out This most estimable
woman. who near nervous prOstra-

the waiter into the middle of the dining

WASHINGTON VOTE
ENTIRE STATE GOES REPUBLICAN BY
10000 MAJORITY.
Idaho Republicans Win by About 5000
In California the Strongest Fight is
on Governor, with Lane, the Demo-
cratic Nominee, in the Lead-Returns
from Other States.
WASHINGTON.

Seattle, WASH, Nov. 5.-The Re-
publicans have carried the state OF
Washington by a majority that may
run as high as II, 900, though the indi-
cations are that it will be nearer 1O,-
900. The Democratic state committee
does not claim the election of any of
its state ticket. though insisting that
the meager returns received justify the
committee in believing that there is
chance for Democratic control OF the
state legislature. Chairman Morrison,
of the Republican committee, holds
that the Republicans will have ma
jority on joint ballot of fully 40.
1t is likely Judge Hiram E. Hadley,
nominee for Justice of the Supreme
court, will lead the Republican state
ticket. The three congressional nomi-
nees will run very close. In King
county it is conceded Ed Cudihee,
DEM, has been reelected sheriff by a
majority somewhere between 900 and
I,5OO. Indications at this time are
that George U. Piper and Andrew
Heinrich, candidates for the state SEN
ate, are .beaten, and the Republicans
will lose several members of the house.
1t is likely, hoewver, that 20 Republi-
can members of the legislature will be
senht to Olympia.

PUBLIC DEBT STATEMENT.
Financial Condition of United States at
Close of Business Oct. 81, 1902.

Financial Condition of United States at
Close of Business Oct. 81, 1902.
Washington, Nov. 4.-The monthly
statement of the public debt, issued to-
day, shows that the close of business
October 81, 1902, the debt, less cash in
treasury, amounted to $958, ,507, ,72O.
The debt proper was decreased through
the purchase of bonds by $14, ,739, ,682,
and the cash on hand also shows a de-
crease for the month of $14 1881 ,515.
The debt is recapitulated as follows:
Interest bearing debt, 1915, ,47O, 23O;
debt on which interest has ceased since
maturity, $1,256, ,2sO; debt bearing NO
interest, 1898, 1902, ,549.s Total, 81, ,3l4,-
929, 500. This amount, however, does
not include $500, Sic, ,O69 in certificates
and treasury notes outstanding, which
are offset by an equal amount of cash
on hand held for their redemption.
The cash in the treasury is classified
as follows: Gold reserve, $50. .000, 900;
trust funds, $3.50, ,316,5o9; general
fund, s145, ,494,171 in national bank
repositories, $l46, 1856, ,O12; total, ST.
3O2, ,695, 753, against which are demand
liabilities outstanding amounting to
$946, ,273, 1875, which leaves cash bal
ance on hand of 1856, ,421 1916.

IDAHO.

Boise, Idaho, Nov. 81 While exact
figures from yesterdays election are
not yet at hand, enough is known to
assure a Republican majority on the
entire state ticket of some 5000.
French, for congress, leads his ticket,
in most sections. Counties that were
supposed to be certainly Democratic
have swung into the Republican line.
Figures from Shoshone show that the
Republicans have carried that county
by at least 800, and elected their legis-
lative ticket. Ada county has given a
majority OF 700; Nez Perce and Latah,
400 to 800 each. Throughout the
southeast everything is Republican SO
far as heard from, and it is believed to
be clean sweep in that section. Ban
mock county gives Morrison, Rep, fo1
governor, 800 majority. There French
did not do so we'll, his lead being CON-
paratively small. Republicans will
have AZ members Of the legislature, q
majority of Is on joint ballot.
The count is progressing very slowly
Republican claims are sustained, so fa1
as the vote is counted.

TRAINmEN WANT MORE PAY.
New Schedule of Wages Soon to be Pre-
sented to the Southern Pacific.

sented to the Southern Pacific.
Oakland, CAL, Nov. 4.-Within the
next few days the Order of Railway
Conductors, Trainmen and Switchmen
will submit schedule of wages to the
Southern Pacific Company. The re-
quests of the men are very much the
same as those submitted by the engin-
eers, fremen, telegraphers tand others.
An increase of Is to 20 per cent Is
askt i, together with uniform rate OF
wages on all the divisions of the Attain
tic and Pacific systems. The demands
will take the same general course that
the others have. They will be passed
upon'by the respective departments. and
then referred to General Manager Agler
and julius Krutschnitt, assistant to
President Hartman. These two gen.
tlemen in turn will pass upon the de-
mands and send them to the committee
appointed by President Hartman to
confer with them.
According to the bylaws OF the
unions, the company is :given 30 days
to make an answer to the men.
The danger of general strike upon
the Southern Pacific lines is not
thought to be great. Both the men and
the company officials are of the same
opinion. The heads of the departments
are unanimous in saying that the pos
sibility of great railroad strike is 30
small that it cannot be considered even
a possibility. The men hold equally
pronounced views. The reason for this
belief is found in the fact that the COM
pany has always favored unions. The
conservative organizations have always
had the entire confidence of the COM
pany, and there have been no differ
ences which have not been amicably
settled

CALIFORNIA.

San Francisco, Nov. 81 Returns ale
still scattering. Those at hand indi-
cate that if franklin K. Lane, the
Democratic nominee for governor,
maintains his present gains, he will be
elected over Pierce, Rep, by small
plurality. The Republican committee
has reduced it's claim for Pardee from
1O, 900 to 5, 900. Lane estimates his
mairoity in San francisco at 15 900.
With the exception of governor, the
Republicans will probably elect their
entire state ticket. The Republicans
have lost one and probably three MEM
bers of congress. Loud, in the Fifth,
is defeated by W. J. Wynne, the Union
Labor candidate, and Gillette, in the
First, and Coombs, in the Second, are
running behind their ticket. The re-
naming five members of congress, are

NEW YORK.

New New York, Nov. 5.-In spite OF
a phenomenally large vote in New
York and Kings county for Bird S.
Coler, DEM, the returns, as far as re-
ceived, indicate the reelection of Ben
jamin B. Odell, Rep, to the governor
ship of New York state by 1,160 plur-
ality. Coler's plurality in Greater New
York exceeded lis, 600, but even that
large vote was not sufficient to over
come the Republican majorities from up
the state. The vote on both candidates
in the county was lighter than that oi
