REPRESENTATIVE DALzELL.
Elections Had No Effect on the Presi
dents Prospects,.

1.-The election yesterday had not the least
effect on the prospects of President Roose-
welt for the republican nomination" said
Representative Dalzell of Pennsylvania to
a Star reporter today. That is fixed now.
There is nothing on earth that can prevent
the nomination Of Mr.. Roosevelt in the con-
vention.
THE election Is about what should have
been expected in an OF year. There were
no national issues embraced In the election,
so that II Is not possible to say what will be
done at the polls a year hence because of
the voting Of yesterday. 50 far as the east

CANAL PROPOSITION CARRIED
State Will Spend $1o1 600, 900 to I'm
nrove It's WATERWAYS.

NEW YORK, November New York
state yesterday gave majority of nearly
100000 in favor of the proposition that the
state shall spend S1o1 100000 for improving
its canals.
The plan is TO widen and deepen the Erie
canal so that IT will accommodate barges
of loo tons carrying capacity. and to i'm
prove the Oswego and Champlan canals.
Under the law the state will be allowed
to issue not more than S10,000,oo0 of canal
bonds a any time, and the first issue must
cover the work for two years The bonds
are to run for not more than eighteen
years.
The advocates of the proposition de-
clared that canal Improvement was neces-
sary for the rehabilitation of the CONNER
cfal supremacy of the state. Unless the
state canals are widened and deepened,
they asserted, 1t would be but short time
before the railroads would be able to make
such transportation rates as they might
see fit, and that New York city would be
Disseminated against.

Brings About Reconciliation With

According to news received In Tan

depriving the pretender of his pres
tige, and the latter has retired, dis
credited, TO Laza.
He has been deserted by a number
OF the local tribes, who dispersed TO
make sure of their booty.
Buhammara, the pretender, having
claimed the intention of enthroning
Mulai Mohammed, his rebellion has no
longer any reason to continue, as the
sultan has publicly reconciled himself
with his brother, and Mulai Mo-
manned has made solemn entry into
Fez. acclaimed by the populace. The
sultan has announced the appointment
of Mulai Mohammed as governor of
the province of Fee, thus disproving
the rumors that Mulai Mohammed as
pired 10 the throne When this had
been done, according to the official au-
thority for these statements. the tribes
around Fee swore fidelity to the sui
tan and denounced Buhammara as an
imposter, whom they would prevent
from coming to Fee.
All immediate danger has disap-
peared. The routes from Fee to the
coast are open. 1t is said the sultan
is now preparing a large expedition.
