The Baltimore Supervisors of Elec-
tons yesterday completed the tabulation
of the party utilization statistics of the
registration for this fall, and made an
official announcement of the result. The
official returns, as complied by the SUI
pervisors, completely vindicate the claims
of the democratic leaders made imme-
diately after the close of the registration
and show that in the entire city the
democrats have a majority on the de-
clared vote of 4, $50. 1t used to be said,
''as goes Baltimore so goes Maryland, "
and from present appearances this say
ing will be verified at Tuesdays cleo

PROF. GUSTAV MEYER, who urged the
Navy department to forbid the depart
ure from ports of naval vessels on Octo-
Der 80 and 81, has lost his standing as a
weather prophet He said that an
eclipse of the sun would occur at l
O'Clock, a. M, today and that in conse-
quence some of the greatest of ocean
calamities in history would occur. He
asserted that tidal waves, floods and
great earthquakes would predominant
throughout the South and that London
would be particularly affected. The
weather today has been fair and serene
throughout most of the United States
and London seems to have suffered from
no meteorological disturbance.

The Arbitratior Commission.

Scranton Pa, Oct, 3l.-The COM
missioners began their second days in
vestigation this morning by going to the
ManviIle mines of the Delaware & Hudson
Company. This mine is considered one
of the hardest places in the entire region
to operate. Theyeins Of coal in this mine
are very thin and dirty. The party after
reaching the colliery donned overalls and
jumpers and were lowered into the mine.
1t was stated this morning that the COM
mission would probably visit the miners
homes today. The commissioners have
decided that if, at the conclusion OF
i1eir hearings and deliberations, any
awards are made, affecting the existing
rate of wages, such awards shall take
effect from November LIST, 1902. The
recorder of the commission states that
this resolution was adopted by the COM
mission because it felt that il was import
ant TO make its investigation deliberately,
and that it might be well, in order to
relieve itself from pressure from any
source which might cause undue haste,
to inform the operators and miners that
should the investigation and the delibera-
tons following it warrant any change
whatever, either in the way of increas @
or reduction of wages, such should be
be from certain date, thus enabling all
parties to facilitate their calculations.
Scranton, Pa, Oct. 3l.-All the
members of the commission with the
exception OF Carroll ID. Wright, inspect
ed the Manville mine today. The mem
bers of the board were lowered into the
mine at ten o'clock They went down
four hundred and sixty feet and then
explored the working. This afternoon
the commission will visit number of
miners homes. Their plans for tonight
and tomorrow have not been made known.

Fx-PREsIDENT CLEVELAND made his
one speech of the campaign last night at
Morristown, n. j., in the interest of the
democratic candidate for Congress in the
Fifth district of that State. 1t was de-
voted almost entirely to the tariff ques-
ton. with incidental reference to the
trusts. He declared with emphasis that
tariff reform was the great issue of the
election and urged democrats everywhere
to unite to accomplish it. Mr. Cleve-
land attributed most of the evils of trust
oppression and extortion to the favor
shown by the republican tariff, and de-
clareG that with this barrier swept away
great corporations could not longer defy
public opinion and rob the people with
impunity. He complimented the demo-
Gratis of the district upon the candidacy
of Mr.. Flanagan. and said that with
such men in Congress the interests of
the country would be faithfully and
wisely served 1t is Mr.. Cleveland's
theory that had Congress taken the adj
vice given by him in one of his reform
messages prosperity would have come to
the country and this is now the belief Of
majority of the people of this country.
Tariff revision is bound to come.

DIDN'T GET MONEY
Rev. M. Fa1k Gjertsen Says He
Did Not Cash Draft.
BERGEN FOLK MAY HAVE MONEY
There May Have Cashed
a ssSecunda."

Rev. M. Falk Gjertsen, upon his return
from the west Saturday evening, fastened
to deny the report that he was responsible
for the non payment of a draft sent to NJ
Gronwold, the Norwegian artist, for an
altar piece for Trinity church. He said:
Friends In Bergen, Norway, wanted to show
my appreciation of my visit and work among
them by securing a copy of an altarpiece
which I admired very much. and have me
place it near the altar in my church here,
with the request that l should remember my
friends in Bergen every time l looked at it.
The first 400 crowns were gathered in my
hat. turned the money over to a committee;
they continuing to gather funds. For the
sum collected draft was sent me. but the
sum was not sufficient to cover the cost OF the
painting. This draft I turned over to the
chairman OF the board Of trustees for Trinity
church. 1t was insinuated at the time that
could have used the money and forged the
draft Those who insin1lated it knew better.
I have never presented the draft for pay
ment and never received cent Of the
money covered by it. They claim that have
received a second draft, '.secunda,' - and coll
lected the money on it. 1t is an ungrateful
lie I'll have signed two drafts. both the
''prima'' and the ''secunda,'' l am guilty of
enlightenment and forgery, and my enemies
here are certainly bitt er enough to put me
through for it. 4g
fortunately the matter can easily Do aScei-
tanned. II I have drawn that money. my
name must have been signed to that draft,
and must have got the money through some
bank here. -
But the painter states that the money has
been drawn on ':secunda." How is this ex-
planned? The only explanation l can offer
is this. that when the committee in Bergen
bought the draft they sent the draft to me.
That was ''prma.' The 'secunda'. they re-
ic n
case ''prima should be lost not collected.
.Secunda' has never been in my hands but
undoubtedly in the hands of the committee,
retaining it just as a postoffice money order
is retained. l,.. $50. ..s -.
When the committee found that the money
had not been drawn after a year. they must
have presented this ''secunda'' and taken the
money out Of the bank where the draft was
bought In this case, the money VIII be
found in the hands of the committee IN Ber-
gen I 1t certainly never has been in my
hands Pc

TO FIGHT.
Coe Commission Company Says It's.
Ready for Chicago Board.
IT'S A QUESTION OF QUOTATIONS.
The Board of Trade Has Lost ON
Similar Suits, Says Geo. j.
Hammond.

George j. Hammond, manager of the
| Coe Commission company, is not in the
| least fearful of the outcome of the suit
begun Saturday aginst his company and
other defendants by the Chicago Board
of Trade. s&&
Mr.. Hammond does not deny that part
of his business consists of what is COM
monty termed "bucket shopping but he
does say that the clearings Of the local
chamber will show that the Coe company
does larger percentage of dealing in
actual grain than majority of the cham
| Der members. He also says, and adds
that he is prepared to prove it in court,
that a great number of the Chicago
Board Of Trade members do a larger per-
centage of bucket shop business than does
the COe company.
Mr.. Hammond declares that the suit
against him has been dictated by jealousy.
He believes it has been instigated by
Minneapolis firms who are jealous of the
big business done by the Coe company
since Its organization, few months ago.
Said he:
do not claim that we place all our bust
ness the Chicago Board of Trade or on the
Minneapolis chamber floor; but we do place
there much Of it as we want to. We shall
fight this suit from first to last, and we will
have the best legal talent in the northwest.
Nothing that money can do will be left I'm :
done, ana / nfnlly DeleYe we VIII WIN Lne
case. The Chicago board has been beaten on
this proposition every time it has taken it
into court. Its quotations have been held to
be public property just as son as they are
printed on the tape, the courts having held
that to be equivalent to publication in a
| newspaper. They have lost cases in Illinois,
Ohio, Wisconsin and in other states; and
do not know Of single instance In which
they have, won. In Milwaukee they did win
| a case brought against firm which adyer-
! tised their quotations for sale; but that is a
different proposition from the contention made
here -.g.- .. ': g.. .. "a. ....4 sl-@-sg hi:
You may say for me that when this case
comes to trial it will develop some very in
teresting testimony regarding the business
methods Of certain firms connected with the
local chamber. j prove that some OF
| them have been guilty of methods in ''freez-
| ing out, customers that we would not toler-
ate for minute; and propose to do it. too.
Mr. Bedell of Bedell & Vanstrum de-
| clined to give out any statement for pub
| LEGATION.
Of the other defendants named all are
conducting their business in localities
| outside of Minneapolis, although within
the jurisdiction of the federal court
