Some of the papers printed alleged
interviews with prominent society
people, in which the latter openly ex.
pressed their disbelief. Since then a
new theory has been sprung on an
unsuspecting and patiently suffering
public. Some clever Sherlock Holmes
has connected with certain fluctua.
tions of the stock market, which sent
Metropolitan way up and made things
decidedly uncomfortable for the bears.
No direct accusation is made, but it
is strongly insinuated that the valu.
able gems were used by someone as
collateral security in stock transac.
tion, which required a large amount
of money or its equivalent. Anybody

since the notification ceremony in

much higher odds than a week ago.

The most aggravating features Of
the lockout are the delay in the com
pletion of the subway and the preven
tion of the erection of much needed
school houses. II is estimated that
over 10000 school children will be de
prived of their privilege TO attend
school next fall owing to the lack OF
school builddngI Over six million
dollars are available for the erection
of new school houses, but owing to the
lockout nothing can be done, unless
some arrangement is made to exempt
school buildings from the operations

V. Fornes is very anxious TO bring
about some compromise between tine
allied building trades and the en-
ployers that will make it possible to
push the erection OF the much needed
school houses.

Strangers visiting New York are
greatly surprised at the diminutive
size Of the city hall of New York and
are wondering how il Is possible that
the enormous volume OF official busi.
ness which is inseparable from the
administration Of a municipality Of the
size ana population Of New York can
be crowded into so small a structure.
The puzzle is easily explained, how
ever by the fact that in reality only
a few departments Of the city's ad.
ministration are actually located in
the city ham Many departments are
scattered all through the city and In
the Park Row buildings, alone 243
rooms are occupied by various depart
ments OF the municipal government.
Il Is quite possible. that the lease
for these rooms will not be renewed,
a. the owners Of the building and the
city do not seem 70 be able TO agree
on the rental The present lease ex-
pires this year and, unless an agree
ment Is reached the city will have
10 yacate the rooms now occupied and
move to some other quarters. II is
generally admitted that New York
needs a new city hall Of sufficient di-
mensions 70 accommodate all depart
ments. but the citizens do not seem In
chned % entrast the Tammany admin
with the erection OF as ex
pensive a structure as the new city
hall would necessarily have 20 be.

The building trades strike which, at
the present time, involves over 40 900
men. still continues, but there is suffi-
cient evidence to warrant the predic-
ton that the differences between the
employers and the unions will soon be
amicably adjusted. There is not much
enthusiasm among the men who were
locked out and many of them would
gladly go back to work, If they only
dared. Several unions that had been
ordered out, like the electric workers
etc, have refused to obey the orders
of the leaders and have decided to
return to work. 1t is confidently ex
pected that soon other unions will fol
low their eXapmle.

 Considering the great interest talk en in the race. the election as whole passed off quietly, and very few diff faculties occurred.
 As soon as the returns are all in his hands, the secretary of the state central committee will furnish the correct figures 10 the press, but tEe result in most cases is already known.
 Gov. Davis has carried the state, but the estimate of his friends and those of his opponents friends differ. and opposing delegates have been se- lected in several sections.
 For attorney general, Hon. R. L. Rogers will have a majority over both Judge Bourland and Judge Brynes.
 Unofficial returns give Davis Pulas- Xxi county by 59 votes, but Judge Woods friends say the official count will show a different result.
 For Davis it is claimed he has 905 delegates.
 Neither candidate for chief justice received a majority, and the nominee will be elected in the convention.
 For auditor Hon Avery Moore re- ceiyed safe majority
 The uneontested offices were seere- tary of state. treasurer. secretary of agriculture and superintendent of ed ueation.
 For associate justice the race be- tween Judge w l.. Moose and Hon E. A. McCulloch is very close, and the result cannot be predicted at this tine
