THE OFFICIAL BONDS.

During the past few days sever
al of the boudsmen Of the different
county officials have withdrawn as
suiities froln the bonds to which
they We're parties and the action
has caused considerable comment
pro aud con-
The officials naturally do not like
1t and seem to regard the bonds
men as simply performing a trivial
act to which 10 responsibility is
attached. On the other hand the
bond-men feel that they take a
good chonces and great deal of
responsibility fol which there is
no necessity.
II the officials will secure bonds
from surity companies it will be
under obligations to anyone as
they are when they have personal
bondsmen. Secondly; there Will
not be lot Of oondsmen always
ready to use The fact that they are
on Il bond to influence the official
ncts OF the officer and he will be
free to act as he sees it. Thirdly.
1t is very much better for tbe
county and territory to have a
surety company as surety, because
under those circumstances, if there
is any default on the part of an
official all the county or territory
has to do is to draw on the comDa-
ny, which musT haya deposit ia
tho territory, for the moaey and
leave the surety company 10 settle
the affair between themselves and
officials afterward,
AfDer the four or more suits that
have been brougt against several
different ssts Of bondsmen in this
county, during the bast six or seven
years, Is is no wonder Chat people
are making up their minds that
going on houls Is a mighty poor
business. Taos Cressct.

ALMOST A CLEAN SWEEP.
Republicans Garry Utah - Apostle
Smoot Will Bun for Senate.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, November s.
Only about one-fifth of the voting precincts
of Utah have SO far been heard from in de-
tail. but unofficial returns from practically
every section show that the republicans
state, Howell, for Congress, and McCarty,
for associate justice, being elected by ma
jorities of from 1900 to 5000.
The legislature, which this winter will
elect successor to United States Senator
Rawlns, will undoubtedly be republican by
a safe majority. In only one county did
the democrats make much showing, and
that was in Salt Lake, where the church
question and revolt against the so-called
machine cut heavily into the republican
legislative vote.
Apostle Reed Smoot Of the Mormon
Church, who is an avowed candidate for
the United States Senate. with the entire
church back OF him, will now assert his
claims, it Is said. large part of the legis-
iature is believed to be pledged to his can
didacy. 1t will bring on an exceedingly
bitter fight in both republican and uemo-
cratic ranks. " nile it is not openly
charged that Apostle Smoot is a poiygamist,
it is common charge that more than one
of his official councillors have several wives.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, November g.
Additional returns received up to 8 o'clock
this morning indicate republican major
ity on joint ballot in the legislature of at
least 81. This insures the election of Apos-
tie Reed Smoot to- the United States Senate.
The republican victory was almost COM

ties being carried for that ticket
One feature was the heavy socialist vote

NEW YORK, November 5-The trading In
today's stock market reflected no abate-
ment of the desire to sell stocks as the
market would take them. The higher prices
in London were ignored after the first fifteen
minutes of trading and selling became gem
eral in all parts of the market Election
rEturns seemed to h.Svr small place
In the arguments of the selling party al
though various distorted conclusions were
given out as to the real significance of yes
terdav's ballot.
The decreased majorities and the half
hearted support given the administra ton
were factors, according to some traders but
the fact that there was no increase in the
buying demand made bear pressure really
successful. There Is no large interest in
the market seeking Immediately higher
prices, and there is no public. Gold ship
ments are reasonably certain later on, al
though today's predictions of large ship
ments in the Immediate future lacked con-
firmation.
AS matter of fact the relative strength
OF money and the exchange rate of Paris
were rather against shipments. The local
banking situation does not justify specu-
lative confidence, and it is believed that
banks generally are determined to reduce
loans before the urgent demands at the end
of the year compel the process. Commits
sion houses have few orders and see little
to recommend to clients at this level. Syn
dcates have stocks that We're originally en-
graved to be sold, but have no market for
them.
The day of the room trader has come
after many months and that day finds SEN
timent on the floor almost wholly pessimis-
tic. Rallies are likely as the short interest
Increases, but the supply of stocks on the
rallies Is sure to be liberal. Today's selling
reflected little support, and only a moderate
amount of real liquidation. The room sold
stocks and the floor members Of the larger
commission houses were idle after the noon
hour.
Prices crumbled because they were not
attractive to investors and because spec
ulators were discouraged from buying by
their Inability to get the sanction of the
banks. The course of the market dept nds
on the developments of the next fortnight,
but the chances are that no campaign big
ger than a drive against the shorts will be
undertaken during the present year.
The declines today extended to per cent
in the case of st. Paul and varied from l to
per cent in other specalties. The western
party sold the shares in which it has been
most active and the soft coal shares were
especially sensitive to such sales Union
and Southern Pacific declined under persist
ent selling, and pool buying was apparently
suspended.
The steel stocks were weak, and the SELL
ing was moderately good in character. The
industrial list generally was heavy and
lacked support. The selling during the
last hour kept prices at the lowest point
Of the day.

TELLER WILL RETURN
DEMOCRATS CARRY LEGIsLA-
TURE IN COLORADO.
Both Parties Claim the Three Con-
gressmen, but Chances Favor
the Democrats.

DENVER Co.. November 5-Tl.e result
OF the election as to the state ticket was
still in doubt at 8 o'clock today. The re-
publicans claim that Peabody is elected
governor by 5000 to 10000 plurality. while
the democrats claim that Stimson mas
plurality of $500 over Peabody.
The democrats will have large majority
on joint ballot in the legislature. insuring
the reelection of United States Senator
Teller. The house will consist Of thirty
nine democrats, twenty-four republicans
and two members who were on Doth tickets,
and the senate OF twenty-five democrats.
eight republicans and two popul;sts.
Both republicans and democrats are claim
ing the three congressman but the chances
favor the democrats. Should Adams and
Shafroth be declared elected their seats
probably will be contested on the claim of
frauds in Denver.
The republicans allege that 5000 fraudu-
lent votes were cast in this county for the
democratic ticket.
All the constitutional amendments were
adopted except the Bucklin Australian tax
system.

such will be the case. The growth OF re-
publican sentiment in Nevada and Colorado

Analysis of Returns.
Analysis OF the returns for Congress
shows that, as the republican managers an
ticipated, the greatest loss to the party in
power occurred IN the cities. where the In
creased cost of living affected the vote, and
that farming communities. where prices
were good On farm products, saved the day
The losses in The east were not as great,
however, as had been feared. 1t was thought
possible that the republicans might lose
three representatives in Congress in Mary
land, whereas they lost two; that they
might lose four in New Jersey and only
lest three; that they might lose five In
Pennsylvania, but only lost two; that they
might lose one In Connecticut and lost none;
that they might lose two in West Virginia,
but will lose none.
The republicans did not expect to lose SO
heavily in New York city. The Coler land
slide, however. in Greater New York inevi-
tably carried the congressional ticket along.
Regret MERGERS Defeat.
The result in West Virginia Is very salts
factory to the republican managers. For
while the situation was critical, for there Is
only one absolutely sure republican district
in West Virginia. the first.
General regret is manifested over the loss
of Representative Mercer In Nebraska. The
factional fight is held responsible for mis-
defeat, and that district will still be figured
as entertaining republican sentiment under
normal conditions.
Representative Babceck in his district
scored a big winning. The apportionment
of the state took off 1000 majority that he
has heretofore received, but. notwithstand-
ing that, he will have a majority of 5000.
against 1900 in the off year of 1898.
Secretary Mason of the democratic state
committee said this afternoon that the COM
mittee proposed to scrutinize every close
district up state to see If fraud has been
perpetrated, and that contests will be made
in suspicious cases.
Chairman Dunn Of the republican state
committee said
stuff and nonsense! If there was fraud

COMMANDER. PEARY HERE.
Notifies Admiral Endicott That He is
Ready for Duty.

Civil Engineer Robert E. Peary, the
arctic explorer, who holds the rank Of COM
mander in the navy. is now on visit to
this city. He is gradually recovering from
the effects Of a recent operation in Phila-
delphia which involved the amputation of
some Of his toes, which were frostbitten in
the arctic. Although much better he is
still Obliged to use clutches. His FIVE
years leave Of absence will expire on the
25th instant. and he has notified Rear Ad-
miral Endicott. chief Of the bureau of
yards and docks. to which the corps Of
civil engineers Is attached, that he will be
ready on that date to take up any duty to
which he may be assigned.
Admiral Endicott said today that 1t had
not yet been settled what particular duty
should be assigned to Mr.. Peary. but that
there would be no difficulty on that score
as there was plenty Of work to be done in
his department.
Commander Peary has not indicated any
desire for an extension of leave and there
Is good ground for the impression that he
has no present intention of renewing his
explorations in the frozen north in the near
future.

WILL NOT INTERFERE.
Commissioners Afford Facilities for
Obtaining Needed Information.

Commissioner West has recommended to
his associates that Mr.. Dunlop, president of
the Capital Traction Company, be informed
that there is no desire on the part of the
Commissioners to interfere with that CON-
pany securing legitimate and proper infor-
nation from police officers; and that If the
legal representative of the company will at
any time notify the superintendent of po-
lice that he desires an interview with a po-
lice officer regarding the details Of a street
car accident every facility will be afforded
him to communicate with the officer.
This Is the practice followed by the Penn
sylvania railroad, the Washington Traction
Company and similar corporations, and has
operated satisfactorily to the interest Of the
police department and of the corporations.
Mr.. Dunlop recently inclosed Interrogation
blanks for five police officers who were all
important witnesses to various accidents
which have recently occurred, and from
whom he was anxious to secure full state
ments. The Commissioners doubted whether
this request should be granted.
