NEW YORK, November 4.-Glorious
weather prevails and big vote is being
polled in Greater New York.
kilograms received at noon at the demo-
cratic and republican state committee head
quarters said that very heavy vote was
being polled up the state
That news cheered the republicans great
deal. At the national republican congress
sional committee headquarters Mr.. Bah
cock. Mr. Hull and Mr.. Overstreer were as
smiling as a basket of chips.
Last night was a busy night around the
Hoffman House, the Fifth Avenue and the
Waldorf. The whole town seemed to have
the betting fever.
At the Hoffman two or three bookmakers
improvised betting rings and the crowd
climbed over each other to put up their
money.
The biggest bet laid was $4,000 at to 3
between George Wheelock and Jacob Field,
Mr. Field taking the Coler end. Then Mr..
Field came up to the Waldorf to get some
more good republican money.
Plenty of Money Wagered.
I was in the Waldorf when Mr.. Field
came In, and he rounded up John w. Gates,
the Chicago millionaire. Mr.. Field talked
pretty loud for awhile until finally Mr..
Gates flushed up and said:
Loo. here, Jake, you put up or shut up.
/ will bet you 100000 to $500, 900, or 100000
TO SEQ 900 on a republican house and Cover
nor Odell."
Mr.. Field did not put up. At the Hoffman
House the bets were called out as they were
made. There were several $4,000 bets, a
haH dozen 5000 bets, and 5000 and $40O
wagers without end.
The money was put up and deposited in
the hotel safe in many cases. A striking
feature of the scene was the apparent con-
fidence of each party to the wagers. The
Coler men were eager to get their money
up and the Odell men just eager to give
them odds of to /. n. o. M.

so stirred by politics. Republicans and

NEW YORK, November 4.-Election day
in Greater New York dawned with the
weather perfect, and the voters were out
early IN large numbers. In a number OF
assembly districts 25 per cent of the regis
tered vote had been cast at $50 o'clock,
and the leaders in some districts predicted
that the entire vote would be cast by noon.
About forty arrests for Illegal voting were
reported before o'clock. In one assembly
district there was great excitement. Rival
leaders came to blows near an election
booth and policemen conducting several
prisoners to a station house were attacked
by mob. In the struggle one of the pris-
oners escaped Nobody was badly hurt.

In addition to this a state superintendent
OF election for the metropolitan district had
600 deputies on guard in various election
districts. Where these men were to be
placed was kept secret until today the su-
perintendent saying 1t would defeat his pur-
pose to make the facts known before cleo
tion day.

An entire state ticket is being voted for,
including a justice of the court of appeals
and legislature which will elect a sue
cessor to United States Senator Platt. The
election also includes the first voting for
congressman under the new arrangements

Shooting in Brooklyn.
Shooting occurred at one polling place in
Brooklyn soon after voting began. One
man was wounded and a deputy sheriff was
locked up charged with the shooting. The
police say the disturbance was caused by
intoxicated men.
By noon more than two-thirds of the reg
istered vote had been cast. and in many dis
tricts fully SIS per cent of the balloting had
been completed. The deputies of the state
superintendent of elections continued t.
make arrests, and the number increased to
132 before noon, including five attaches of q
hospital and democratic captain of an
election district.
Both sides at noon were confident of

present profit Oh flour of 10 cents a
barrel, Yet such rails are now be-
ing sold at $28 ton, making it easy
to understand with such enormous
profits how the steel mills are en-
abled to pay dividends ON shares
three-fourths of which are water.
And yet with this condition of things
we now have duty Of $3.50 ton
on steel rails. If this is not robbery,
should like to find some stronger
word to characterize it.
The bounty OH exported leather, in
the guise Of a rebate on the imported
hides of which it is made, enables
the foreign manufacturer to purchase
American leather 5 to 10 per cent.
cheaper than our own manufacturers
can buy it. Hon. William B. Rice,
one Of the leading shoe manufacturers
of New England, says of this duty:
GAS revenue duty, it is a failure;
for the rapidly increasing rebate, to-
gether with the costs of collection,
will soon absorb the income, and the
opportunities and temptations to
fraud are numerous. 1t protects the
foreign manufacturer against the
American, and nobody else. It en-
courages the tanner of leather for ex-
port to buy foreign hides whenever
they can be bought for nearly the
same price as the domestic, because
he can get his profit in the rebate -
This is simply specimen of the
subsidies in the form of rebates and
the frauds sure to attend them.
Now we have the Secretary of
Agriculture, provided with an appro-
priation, guaranteeing the exporters
of fruit against loss ON their ven-
lures, such losses to be paid by the
government. He defends this re-
markable policy as means of start
ing our export trade in this line;
but will not the beneficiaries of this
form of subsidy claim the right to
have it continued as long as they
need it. like all the other infant in
dustries?
The ship subsidy, so long and even
now dominating the halls Of Con-
gress, will form all indirect subsidy
on exports if it cheapens freights, as
it's advocaters claim; but if it fail to
do so, and the whole Of the govern
ment bounty be absorbed by the ship
owners, ship-yards, and steel trusts,
without any benefit to the people,
as it's opponents contend, then the
demand will surely be made for
direct subsidies. on exports. In
deed, the farmers oranges of several
States have already petitioned Con-
gress for subsidy on their exported
products.
The United States is the first great
