FORECASTS FOR BROOKLYN.
They Range All the Way From 2.8O0 for
Mcclellan to Over 80, 900 for Low.

There is a wide divergcncy cf opinion
among the active political workers In Brook
lyn in regard to the result Of the election In
that borough, which has been the storm
centre during the campaign. Although nor
mally Democratic on national and State
issues when party lines are closely drawn, by
a majority of from is, 900 to ls 900, Brooklyn
is most uncertain quantity when municipal
questions alone are involved, as was shown
in 1893, when Charles A. Schieren, the Re-
publican no minee, swept the old city by a
plurality Of over SO 900, and two years ago,
when Mayor Low polled 25.5oO votes more
than Edward NJ Shepard. Even last year
there was another sudden political scmer-
sault, when Odell lost Brooklyn by plur
ality of nearly $1,000. In this campaign
Brooklyn has been more stirred up politi-
cally than in probably any preceding ono
mainly on account cf the bitter cont roversy
that resulted from Nc Lsughlin's s stand
against Tammany lnVasi, II OF the bore ugh
Chairman Jacob Brenner OF the Repub-
lican campaign committee declared his abb
solute confidence yesterday that Lows
plurality would not fall short of $4,000 and
might reach 10000. He cared his opinion
on a careful canvass of the Assembly dis
tricts made by the election district captains,
and said that IRON the reports submitted
he considered 80 900 fair and conservative
estimate.
"The people ne said. have taken things
into their own hands, and political organi-
cations cannot have much influence on the
result" Chairman Frank Harvey Field OF

Low.

others with produce. have been III

into money, the most of which was

If there is a vantage ground of all
the positions Offering view from
which. what we claim above. may be
seen, it is the newspaper office, for
here we have access to the 150 differ
ent newspapers coming to us in which
the southern cities of the most marked
distinction are frequently mentioned
and in which Hattiesburg always
comes in for full share, thus giving
as an opportunity of seeing what the
outside world thinks of US.
But more substantial evidence than
this comes through the visiting
stranger who has been attracted here
by the good things he has read in the
papers and who calls at the Office,
after coming. to pay his respects and
inform the editor that 'the half had
not been told as much as to say that
from what lie had read the expecta-
tion was, naturally, great, but the
realization greater.
There is no view of Hattiesburg
that could be taken but what is ting

ness Of every thing, let usnot be satis-

GERMAN MEAT INSPECTION
Has Not Seriously Affected American
Trade With That Country.

Berlin, April 2.-The last provisions
of the meat inspection law of June 3,
1860, went into effect quietly yesterday,
ait the ports and throughout the emrirc.
This most far-reaching and sunrTtuary
measure was put in operation piece
meal, by occasional DEGREES, because of
the ministry of the interior having to
create the inspection machinery.
Section H. referring to canned meats
and sausages, which became effective
Sept. l, 1901, further reduced Ameli-
can imports in that lire. But borax-
cured beef had been coming in until
March, though of late somewhat less
than 200 tons per month, roughly VAL
ned at $4,000 were imported from
America. ed.
The exporters will endeavor to cure
beef without borax and thus comply
with the German law, which, as it now
appears, by no means destroys the
American meat trade here, and it is
not imp obdble that the total American
meat imports this year will equal those
Of 1901. when the total valuation was
about IS ,000O0
Owing to the high prices and INSULT
cient home supply more than three
fourths of the imports of American
meats are preserve, such as hams and
bacon. although it is true that hams
smaller than II pounds, ounces, are
excluded, which affected some Ameri-
can hams.
