LIoNEss DIEs oN sHIP.
One Of Those Given to Roosevelt Con-
 tracts Pneumonia.


 New York. Nov. Lone of two tame lionesses sent by King Menelik of Abysinnia to President Roosevelt died during the night on the steamer Min neapolis as the ship was nearing Sandy Hook. The vessel berthed alongside of West street to-day with the surviving lioness, Fatima. What caused the death of the lioness puzzled the ships company, as the animal appeared to be in perfect health up to the time it dropped dead.
 Menelik, with his usual generosity, thought that President Roosevelt would like few other animals besides the lionesses. He also sent zebra, an ostrich and two monkeys. The animals were landed to-day in splendid condi- tion.
 The zebra, monkeys, and ostrich were sWathed in cloth coverings to protect them from the cold. The Minneapolis had very smooth trip. but as the weather was bitterly cold for several days the boatswain had to overhaul his "ditty bag" in search of canvas over coata for the animals.
 The lionesses were not wrapped. in cloths, and it is thought that Leonardo, the one that died, may have contracted pneumonia.

New Jersey.

Trenton, Nov. 1.-The New Jersey pc slitical campaign which closed to-day was the most aggressive since 1892, when the democrats carried the state for Grover Cleveland for president and for George Werts for governor. The republicans, so far as the presidency is concerned, entered the campaign just closed with the prestige of a plurality of 56,S99 for Mckinley four years ago. They are confident of carrying the state for Roosevelt by from 35,000 to 40000. The democrats are claiming that Par ker will have small plurality, but sur face indications do not seem to warrant this claim.
 The democrats have made a strong fight for Charles c. Black for governor on a platform for the greater taxation of railroads, and are enthusiastically confident of winning. The republicans admit that Edward c. Stokes, their candidate for governor, will run con- siderably behind Roosevelt, but claim that MT. Stokes will have from 10000 to 10000 plurality. A fair estimate makes the governorship fight a close one and the outcome a matter of some doubt
 New Jerseys congressional delegation of seven republicans and three demo- crats will probably not be changed as to the relative numbers.
 The legislature will be safely republi- can, which will insure the election of a republican to succeed John Kean as United States senator.

Boston Men Who Impersonatcd Others
 Ut Civil Service Examination.
 Boston, Nov. 7--State Representa- tive Thomas F. Curley and Alderman James M. Curley were sentenced to- day in the United States circuit court to serve two months in jail for having lmpersonated others at civil service examination James Hughes and Bar tholomew Fahey also received a sim liar sentence. The two latter were the men whom the Curleys had imperson- ated at the examination. To-day's sen aence was an affirmation of one ifn- posed earlier but the defendants car- red their case by successive appeals to the United States supreme court.
 Tn passing sentence Judge Lowell said that the Curleys had not shown a prop CT realization of their crime. Thomas F. Curley is a candidate for reelection to the legislature, having been 1omi- mated after the first sentence was inn posed, and the judge remarked that those who voted for him shared his crirla.
 A large crowd of the Curleys' politi- cal supporters were in court and when the prisoners were taken to the jail in a carriage they were cheered by their friends.

IOTH PARTIES CLING
 TO CLAIMS OF VICTORY
ATIoNAL CAMPAIGN CLOSES WITH EACH SIDE CONFIDENT.

 Prepare to Leaye-some Lively Bet

 Lengthen, Being Six to One.
 New York, Nov. 7.-From the poiiti- lans to the people, from the campaign lanagers to the voters, from the spell inders to the ballot boxes, the presi-
 ential election of 1904 Is now commit Id. For months the leaders have
 tanned, for days and nights they have nhemed, and for weeks the people have
 aited for tomorrow, when they will lake their choice.
 Right up to the hour when all effort
 ad ceased the campaign managers ot oth parties confidently claimed sue ess with serenity which seemed re- slarkable in view of the wide diver sence of expressed opinion.
 It is not to be expected that any per- on connected with a political cam
 aign win surrender his right to claim yll doubtful states, and no one in this ampaign, even privately or in conf ence, is willing to coneede defeat. The confidence of the managers is shared ty their followers, and on every hand he stout declarations of partisans for heir party candidates are heard. To- light all is confidence; by tomorrow light the country will know who has seen right.
 Aside from the preparations for the eceipt of the election returns. there is little evidence of the close of the politi- 7al campaign to-day, unless it might be ound in the absence of familiar faces bout the national and state headquar- ers and hotels. There was nothing hat indicated any excitement or undue Interest, and, in fact, the political head luarters, both national and state, show d little of the activity that has been noticeable up to the end of last week. Nothing that either campaign commit- lee could do at this late day, it was recognized, would affect the result, and his accounted in part for the quietude, t being well known that the case had kone to the great American jury. The extreme quiet of headquarters was also apparent at the hotels. and hose haunts where politicians often songregate to discuss the prospects of he different candidates were deserted hearly all day by the men who are host interested in the election. Elec- ion returns will be received at all the headquarters.
 Evidence of breaking up were appar- Int to-day when members of the vari- bus committees were observed clearing but their desks of things that have ac- sumulated during the campaign. It booked very much as if the end was bear at hand.

TIE-UP OF LONG ISLAND ROAD
New Switching Device Fails to work
 SuccessfuIIy.

Successfully.
 New York. Nov. 7--When President Roosevelt. arrives at the Long Island railroad depot tomorrow he may meet with the same difficulty in reaching his home in Oyster Bay that those who live in the suburbs of Long Island did to-day. The entire Long Island sys- tenn was tied up for several hours this afternoon. and late at night the trouble had not been overcome. The new switching device that recently had been installed got out of working order, and the railroad officials endeavored to get the 100 and more men who had been re- lieved from duty to return to their switches. This they refused to do, and the result was that thousand of Long Islanders were compelled to remain in the depots or to seek their homes by some scircuitous route.
 President Roosevelt on his way to Oyster Bay will have to pass through the yards which tonight were badly blocked. One of the officials of the rail- road said, however. "The president will not be delayed. We will move his train through. 2

SITUATION IN CONNECTICUT.
Both Sides Confident Last Night of the
 Result.

Roth Sides Confident Last Night of the
 Result.
 All over Connecticut, more especially in the large cities, republican and dem ocratic town committees met last night to complete the details of their plans for getting the voters to the polls to-. morrow. At the state headquarters of both parties in Hartford, the final re- ports were received which gave ground for expression of renewed confidence in the outcome. At the populist head quarters in this city a banquet was held at which several of the party's candi- dates made predictions that the popu- listic vote would exceed expectations. The democrats concluded their speak ing campaign during the day with an open air rally at Hartford at which Judge Robertson, the candidate for governor, spoke on the trust question.
 The republicans did little outside ex- cept to receive reports from committees to which had been assigned the duty of getting out the voters. In some places the rivalry in hiring automobiles and vehicles for use tomorrow was very keen.
 In some places reports sprung up of devious plans of candidates to capture voters by use of prepared ballots, and many of the candidates rushed into the afternoon papers to warn friends of a spitfall or to deny an eleventh hour yarn.
 Connecticut clings to the so-called 'paster" ballot, wherein a party can provide it's followers with ballots for use at the box and the other side can distribute pasters to change the com plexion of a straight ticket. Both the democrats and republicans flooded the state with both kinds of mail matter last week except in New Haven, where the democratic state central committee refused to send single ballot because of an alleged disagreement.

 Chicago. Nov. IA special to the Chicago Daily News from Dalny, No- vember 6, via Kobe, November z, says:
 After three days of continuous bonn bardment of Port Arthur, which caus- ed extensive destruction of the Sho- jusan and Niryusan forts, in the west center O. the Russian line of defence, and also to KekWan fort, the right wing of the Japanese army assaulted Shojusan yesterday afternoon. Hav- ing carried the approaches to that height, the assailants entrenched them selves under the glaeis of the forts. In the evening the left wing delivered an assault on Kekwan, fighting it's way to the lower pArapet. There the Japanese held their ground stubbornly in the face O! Russian counter attacks.
 Having been reinforced during the night the Russians charged down upon the Japanese and desperate hand to hand conflicts ensued. The Japanese beat back the enemy and destroyed two covered positions in the front moat. A Japanese sub-lieutenant with thirty volunteers then succeeded in making his way to the rear of the fort. There he engaged in a personal conflict with a Russian officer and killed him. Hav- ing discovered two more defences in the rear moat, the sub-lieutenant with drew his force with the loss of two men. Later in the night the advanced position of the Japanese was taken and retaken twice. The besiegers succeed ed i'll holding the approaches and con structing trenches connecting them with the. arny's front parallel. At the slopes. Fort F, north of the new and old batteries in the left center of the line of defense, was captured by the severe fighting of the night.
 These operations have driven an eff fective wedge in the Russian center. Severe explosions and extensive fires have occurred in the fortress within the last few days. The total casualties of the Japanese in the late attacks were 1,10s.
 lover 300 were killed up to October 29. The spirits of the men are magnifi- cent. The firing of all the guns is won derfully effective. The climax to the late bombardment came between 4 and 6 o'clock Saturday afternoon. It was superb spectacle. Every fort of the enemy was engaged, and the fighting in the trenches was constant and se- we're. The outposts of the contending forces were only forty feet apart. At o'clock this morning one of the Japan- ese trenches collapsed into a Russian gallery. The enemy being surprised underground fled in confusion"
