Democratic Votes Cast.

1t will be seen that Judge Parker's
vote-getting power, measured with Re
publicans. is lacking in units running
all the way from $4,000 to more than
q quarter of a million. Furthermore,
the nearest approach he makes to
anything like a fair-sized vote, com
pared with Republican candidates, is
when set alongside of the figures away
back in 1892, when the Cleveland land
slide hit New York and the rest Of
the country with a truly 'sickening
thud,' as the aftermath proved. And
measured even by 1892 standards he
polled in 1897 only 554 900 votes,
against General Harrison's 100000!
1t is also to be noted that to find a
time when Judge Parker's vote makes
a respectable showing against an i'm
portant Republican we must go as far
back as 1850, when Garfield polled
555,554 votes as against Parker's 554,-
$50 SEVENTEEN YEARS LATER,
there being in 1850 not many more
than million of ballots in the State.
From the N. Y. Tribune CRep).l
An examination of the New York
election returns for the last ten years
will show that the Southern and West
ern idea of Judge Parker as a man of
demonstrated strength in this State is
entirely mistaken. In 1897 he polled
only 554, $50 votes, yet the year before
Mr.. Bryan had received 551, 1863, in
spite of thehenormous Democratic de-
lection which rolled up a Mckinley
plurality of 100000; and the year
after, 1898, Van Wyck, bearing all the
burdens of Crollerisu, against Roose-
welt, aided by all the war enthusiasm,
received 643,921 and still was beaten
Judge Parker owed his election not TO
his own popularity, but to the defec-
ton OF no fewer than $4,000 Republi-
cans from the regular party ticket in
this city. He showed no personal
strength; but the supporters OF Seth
Low for mayor could not vote for
Judge Wallace without splitting a
ticket, and SO he received only i93. 1911
votes, while the Republican ticket in
the off year of 1895 received 6O1,205.
and 6G1,T15 in 1898. Judge Farker's
name was scarcely heard during the
campaign, and but for the division in
the Republican party he would have
been badly beaten. TWO years ago
the Democracy had the opportunity to
show the Democrats of the country

but David &. Hill no more dared trust
him tc demonstrate them in advance

Schwab on the Stand Again.

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-Charles
SchWab was on the stand today in the
shipbuilding- case. He underwent a
particularly severe examination re-
garding the bethlehem Steel COM
panys share in the shipyard trust.
The room was crowded with brokers
and financiers. Schwab was repre-
sented by Attorney Guthrie. He de-
MED that it was a period of great in
fiation in the steel industry and said
the stock was in good demand. He
believed that the properties in which
he was interested suffered no imitation
in values.
He thought the crest of the steel
prosperity had passed. When pinned
down he declined to state for how
much his stock had been sold.
Schwab said he did not regard steel
securities stock as having been inflated
at any time or now. He said he had
sold some of his stock but he believed
that he is the largest single stock
holder at the present time.

day regarding the IrOquOis fire. The
official list of dead reported to him
makes the number 565. The first list
was 591, but this difference was caus-

more than one name. The coroner
today was assisted by large array OF
legal talent, including the states at
torney, the city and county attorneys,
as well as by scores of lawyers re-
tanned by relatives of the victims. The
testimony brought out today uniform
ly agrees that the exits were locked

MERGER J
HEARING
Minnesota CaSeBefore
Supreme Court.
STATE MAKES A GOOD SHOWING |
The Securities Company Renews Its
Old Plea About Trade of
the Orient.
STATE MAKES A GOOD SHOWING

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The case
of Minnesota against the Northern
Securities company alleging violation
of the state antitrust laws and asking
an injunction opened in the supreme
court today. In this case the federal
government has no direct interest.
The original intention was to hear this
case prior to the hearing of the United
States case which was recently argued,
but on request of Attorney General
Douglas. of Minnesota. the case was
postponed until after the governments
case. thus enabling Minnesota to take
advantage of the masterful argument
resented by Douglas, and Attorney
Mum, of St. Paul and Wilson, of Min
neapolis. The securities company has
represented by Attorneys Bum,
ClOugh. Johnson. Young and Glover.
Minnesota demands an injunction to
prevent the Securities company from
taking part in any meeting of the
stockholders of the Great Northern or
Northern Pacific, from participating in
the management of the two roads or
permitting any of its officers to exer-
else control over the same. and from
holding the stock of either company.
One of the states strongest argu
ments is that it still owns 100000
acres of public land traversed by the
two railways and that under the mer-
ger roads would cease building spurs
into these lands. thus preventing in
crease in the valua ton and consequent
loss of taxes.
The securities company's counsel Of
fered d written argument covering
much of the same ground as in the
case of the United States against the
company. The main contention is that
consolidation is necessary to extend
the trade of the United States to the
Orient and that it was essential to
have an eastern connection, which
was secured through the purchase of
the Burlington.
