NO HINT OF A CHANGE.
Nothing Known Here of the Purpose to
Send Another Russian Ambassador.

The State Department has had no hint Of
any purpose on the part of the Russian
government to make any change in it's en-
bassy here. Count Cassini, the ambassa-
dor, is not only popular in social and Off
cial circles, but is highly regarded by Sec
rotary Hay personally. An evidence of the
relations between them lies in the fact that
the ambassador frequently calls upon the
Secretary at the latter's home at all sorts
of hours and without appointment to dis
cusS matters of business. 1t is customary
when changes are to be made in embassies
here to sound the State Department as to
the acceptabilty of the person with whom
1t is proposed to replace the ambassador,
and no such move has been made in this
case.

NEW YORK, November "a cablegram
from Moscow says: The whole city is
stirred by the Identification by Cloth Manu-
facturer Morozoff Of a million roubles'
worth of cloth which he gave for the use
of the army at the beginning of the war,
and lately discovered to be on sale in the
shops of Moscow. 1t appears that Moroz-
off devised a special mark, which he had
caused to be worked into the web cloth
while it was being made in his factories,
which marked the cloth as unique
Counterpanes showing this mark are be-
ing sold for 10 cents each. The belief is
that most of the cloth was sold privately
by officials, and that the soldiers got very
little of it.

CLOSING THE RIVER ZUBA.
Castro's Act Likely to Involve Colon
bia and Venezuela in Controversy,


Mr.. Snyder, United States charge at b.
gotta, Colombia, cabled the State Depart
ment today that President Castro of Ven
ezuela had issued an order again closing to
navigation the river Zuba. This stream
affords access to the interior of Colombia,
and its closing before by President Castro
almost involved Colombia and Venezuela
in war. The latest action is taken to
mean that the good understanding which
was reached between Castro and Marro-
quin nearly year ago has not been pre-
served under the accession to the presi-
dency of Colombia of Gen. Reyes, and fric-
ton between the two countries Is expected
to develop. There have been rumors for
some time past of a considerable agitation
in Venezuela, looking to revolution direct
ed against Castro, and it is surmised that he
has closed the navigation of this river to
prevent arms and ammunition from reach
ing the would-be revolutionists.

CANADIAN ELECTION TO-DAY.
Laurier's Government and Railway
Construction the Issues.


Construction the Issues.
ST. JOHN, N. B., November 3.-The cleo
tors Of Canada are deciding today whether
the government of Sir Wilfrid Laurier VIII
be continued in Office and whether the
Grand Trunk Pacific Company shall be per-
mitted to construct transcontinental rail-
road, largely supported by the federal
treasury.
The campaign has been an active one,
and although the indications at times have
pointed to the return of the liberal govern
ment by a reduced majority in the house
of commons, number of confusing ele-
ments have made the outcome uncertain.
The liberal majority in the late parliament
was 81.
This majority, however. was reduced to
4s at the close of the last session of the
commons by the resignation Of several
members, appointed to office and through
the loss of seat in a by-election in 81.
John. The leading issue in the campaign
has been the Grand Trunk Pacific project.
The conservative party. led by Robert l..
Borden of Halifax, maintain that ocean
freight traffic over the proposed road our
ing the months that the st. Lawrence river
is closed to navigation, will be shipped to
Portland, Me-, and Boston instead of to
this city and Halifax. Portland is the At
lantic terminus of the Grand Trunk rail-
road. whose directors are the promoters Of
the Grand Trunk Pacific enterprise.
The liberal party is depending for success
largely on the prosperous condition of the
country. 1t also relies on strong support
in Quebec province, where out of 90 mem
bers of the last parliament from that dis
trict nearly 60 supported Premier Laurier.
The conservatives have been claiming they
would elect 20 or % members in Quebec
today, and it is believed that the success
or failure of their efforts in that province
will decide the result at large.

Raining in Quebec.

MONTREAL, Quebec, November 3.-It is
raining slightly throughout the province of
Quebec, but the prospects are that the
weather may clear up. and it is expected
that one of the biggest votes in the history
of Canada will be polled. The province of
Quebec will be a great factor in this cleo
ton. 1t is essentially French-Canadian, ard
the liberals count on ii as usual. The con-
servatives, however. have great hopes of
turning enough constituencies in their favor
to affect the general result.
