NEW YORK.

New York, Nov. 7.-Election eve finds both parties claiming the Empire State Today the leaders took the last esti- mates of their committeeman and then each side put forth its declarations. the Democrats pinning faith to a statement by Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam many Hall. that the vote for Parker in Greater New York will be the greatest ever cast for a Democratic candidate while the Republican view was express ed by Governor Odell, who said Par ker's plurality in the city would have to be better than 140,000 if he was to carry the State. Two years ago Coler the Democratic candidate for Governor. had 122. 500 plurality over OdelI in the city, but was defeated, OdeII having 130 500 plurality In the rest of the State D. Cady Herrick. Democratic nominee for Governor. made a statement today in which he said:
 Making very liberal discount upon the rosy views that are always pre- sented to a candidate. I firmly believe that the Republican majority north of the Bronx will be much less than 1t was two years ago"
 Frank W. Higgins, Republican can didate for Governor. said today:
 "I believe Roosevelt will carry the State by over 100000. and that the Re publican State ticket will be elected |"
 The feature of the election in this city promises to be remarkably close watching of the polls. The plans to prevent illegal voting have been made on a scale that eclipses all former ef- forts. In addition to the party watch CTS and the city's 5000 policement, su- perIntendent Morgan of the State Eiec- ton Bureau for the metropolitan dis trict, will have more than 1000 depu- ties at work to prevent the casting of ballots by those not entitled to vote, and a force of loo secret service men will watch for foreign born men who may present fraudulent naturalization papers.

ILLINOIS.

Chicago. Nov 1.-The Republicans claim that they will carry Illinois by anywhere from 125,000 to 140,000, and the Democrats claim that they will reduce the Republican plurality of four years ago. That is the substance of all the claims put forth by both sides on the night before election. The fight on Congressmen will not, in all probability, result in any great change in the number of representatives from both parties. The present Congress sional delegation is eight Democrats and seventeen Republicans. The, Re- pubIicans assert they will gain two Congressman, one in the Twenty-sec- ond and one In the First District, while the Democrats say that they will de- feat Congressman Rodenberg in the Twenty-fourth and thereby make their total nine in the next Congress.
 As to Chicago and Cook County. the claims of both parties are diametrical- ly opposed. Each party asserts that 1t will carry the city of Chicago and the county of Cook outside the city by 30.0oo to 5o.oo0.
 The Republican national headquar- ters in this city were practically clos ed tonight, all of the officials having left for their homes.
 The claims advanced at the national headquarters do not vary greatly from the statement given out by Chairman Corteiyou but some of the officials were somewhat more sweeping In their claims than the chairman. saying that in their opinion Judge Parker would not carry a single State outside of the Solid South.
 There were no. members of the Dem- ocratic National Committee around dur ing the day. but the State Central Committee members declared that Judge Parker would without question be the next President of the United States and put his electoral vote all the way from a number barely suffi- cient to elect to two-thirds of the cleo toral college.

UTAH.

Salt Lake City. Utah. Nov. 7.-That Roosevelt will carry Utah is conceded The fight over the State ticket and the county ticket in Salt Lake County Is more directly involved in the movement against alleged church domination Tn politics, which resulted in the forma- tion of the American party. Demo- cratic State Chairman Bamberger claims the election of the State ticket. Congressman and a majority in the leg islature which will elect a United States Senator. American party leaders claim twelve to furteen thousand votes in Salt Lake County, enough to elect their county ticket. Republican State leaders reiterate their claim of a clean sweep.

MILWAUKEE.

Milwaukee, Nov. '. The political contest closed in Wisconsin tonight with speeches in many places in the interest of all the parties represented on the ballot It is generally conceded that the Roosevelt and Fairbanks electors will carry the State by plu- rality ranging between 50,00O and 75,- 900.
 Chairman J. D. Conner. Republican State central committee. claims that Governor La Toilette will have 75,000 plurality and expects his ticket to be elected from top to bottom with the exception of John J. Kemhpf; candi- date for State treasurer, against whom much opposition has been mani- fested by the Sta,e central committee. The Republicans claim six congress- men will be elected without doubt, and that they have more than an even chance of electing four others.
 Democratic State Chairman A. F. Warden claims George W. Peck will be elected by 25.0O0 plurality and that lature. As to congressman. MT. War den says the outlook Is favorable for electing five or six members. The Democrats are counting strong on the Scofeld Republicans to aid them on the State ticket and it Is generally conceded that the Scoheld strength will go this way.
 Victor I. Bergen, chairman of the Democratic State committee believes his party has d good chance of carry ing Milwaukee county and electing two congressman.
 It is perfectly safe that the Repub- licans will elect six congressman. the Democrats one, with four in doubt.
 The legislature, which Is to elect United States senator, probably will be so divided between the two Re- publican factions and the Democrats that neither party will have a ma jorlty.

OHIO.

Cincinnati, Nov. Ion the eve of the election the Republicans are con- fident that their organization in Ohio will secure unusual results. even eX- ceeding pluralities in what were pre- viously called The Mckinley years. :" While the Democrats have no such or Eanlzation as their opponents. they claim that there has been during the past few days a "whirlwind in their ravor," that justifes the anticipation of landslide that will make the State close and enable the Democrats to gain three or four Congressman. The Dem ocrats also say they will be benefited by the reduction of the Populist vote. and the increase of the Socialist vote. They estimate that the former Social ist vote of 1S.5o0 will be more than doubled and come largely from Repub- Iican workingmen.

Its radiance, however, Is SO feeble that as yet the comet is barely visible in the telescope as patch of light, and several days. perhaps, will elapse before accurate observations can be made of It's position. which, however. follows quite clearly the path predicted for the return of the comet.

SWIMMING SCHOOL FOR HORSES

Horses are "enlisted'' in British
cavalry regiments on reaching their
third year, but it is generally two
years more before they are taken for
their first swimming lesson. This
branch of their education receives
good deal Of attention at the Alder
shot training camp, writes w. G. Fit2-
gerald in the Royal Magazine. The
veterinary officer and riding master
of the regiment supervise the work,
and only experienced men are allowed
to assist.
The great thing is not to force or
alarm the horse during his training,
but rather to lead him by easy stages
to enter the water quickly, fearlessly
and as noiselessly as possible. If ter
rified at the start, the horse would
be likely to fight shy Of deep water
ever after. So on the first day the
man who has charge Of the horse
walks his pupil about on the edge Of
the water. just permitting him to wet
his hoofs and fetlocks. The next day
the horse is introduced a little farther
into the water, perhaps up to his
body, and allowed to splash round as
he pleases. In this way the horse is
gradually taken farther and farther
in, until at length he loses his foot
ing and starts swimming quite naAalr-
ally, the man in charge swimming by
his side to give him greater conf
dence.
Then the horse is taught to swim in
company with others, beside a boat,
by way Of training him to cross rivers
with his regiment en- masse. The
horses are Invested of all saddlery
but head collars and head ropes. The
men Of each troop get into a boat, and
by means of the head ropes bring
their horses into the water alongside.
Then the boat is hauled across the
river by rope manned from the op-
posite side, and the horses necessarily
follow.
At times the horses are exercised in
bearing their riders across on their
backs. The horse wears only the head
collar and bridoon, and the rider strips
himself, and throws his legs up along
the horses tanks so as not to impede
the animals movements AS the horse
naturally swims very low In the wa
ter, the riders weight pushes him
down until only his head is above the.
surface. But the animal soon gets
over the uneasiness this causes him
