New York Politics.

New York, Nov. 3.-The municipal
campaign will practically close tomorrow
night, and the candidates for the various
offices and their supporters are working
like trojaus for success. Almost count
less meetings and torchlight professions
have been arranged for tonight and to-
morrow night in the five bOroughs and
tons Of red fire will be burned.
Mcclellan, WINS and Hearst, the
mayoralty candidates, say they are conf
dent OF election, and the supporters of
Jerome believe that the District Altor-
ney will win out. se
Tammany Hall figures for Manhattan
and the Bronx, just made public, give
Mcclellan l59, 900; Twins, IS, 900 and
Hearst, 10000. The municipal owner
ship league asserts that it has polls
showing that its ticket would poll 300,-
900 votes in the city, and that Mayor
Mcclellan would be third in the race.
The republicans have not as yet given
out any figures.
As result of the decision of The ap-
pellats court, declining to place
District Attorney Jerome's name on the
ticket, the betting on Jerome changed,
the odds being 5 to 8, against 2 to on
Wednesday. The betting on Mcclellan
still continues at "a to /, and 3 to l.

FRIDAY EVENING. NOV. 3. 1906.

DISPATCHES from different points 10
Russia show that 5,40S persons we're
slain during the past two days reign OF
terror which is prevailing in many quar-
ters of the Cars domains. The officials
have labored assiduously to prepare what
they call constitution, but it seems to
prove unsatisfactory to the Disconnected
elements who aver that it is ambiguous
and that by it the Cars autocracy is in
no wise abridged. The premier, under
the instrument, is compelled to receive
all his instructions from the Gar. The
recent massacres of Jews, it is said, were
greater than those Of Kishinef. The
lsraelite is the target in most national
tumulls, and he seems destined to wan
der upon the earth until the end of time.
Dnven from country to country, the race
is inhabiting all climes, and those whose
lot has been cast 10 Russia will sOo1-be-
come itinerants aud spread toward other
points of the compass. 1t seems strange
that a country like Russia, with its State
religion, its extensive evangelical estab-
lishment of patriarcbs and priests and
protesting the faith enunciated by the
Great Teacher, should manifest such
ferocity toward the race out OF whom has
come all they hold sacred. They seem
Ia take few hints from history While
the God Of Israel has often been unspar-
ing in the use of the rod toward the
people of his choice, nations who have
attempted to eliminate the stock OF Israel
have almost invariably dug their own
graves. Egypt attempted it to her sor-
row. and Haman fell into a pit ne had
Drepared for the descendants Of Abra-
ham. What has happened before is
liable to occur again. The Babylonians
sacked Jerusalem and carried the chosen
people into captivity, and the act was
repeated by the Romans centuries later
Both Of these powerful nations OF an
tquity faded away, but the prosecuted
race. like the oush which Moses ap-
proached. burns but it never consumes.
The Muscovite should profit by the his
tory OF the past.

Horrors of Odessa.

A dispatch to London news agency
from Odessa says that martial law was de-
clared there yesterday afternoon. The
whole garrison has turned out and now
occupies the city. Police control has al
so been re-established. All citizens are
forbidden to leave their houses after 9
o'clock in the evening, at which hour all
lights must be out. Maxim guns have
been placed in positions commanding a
hundred streets.
The Standards correspondent at Odes-
sa says: "Within three hours of the dec
larstion Of martial law, which came to
tile unspes kable relief If peaceable citi-
zens, no fewer than 8, 900 ruffian lOyalists
had beer disarmed by the students and
the military. How some so, 900 artisan
rOwdies became possessed of reyOvers and
abundance of cartridges is another ques-
ton requiring solution"
A dispatch to the London Evening
Standard from Odessa, timed 2:3O
p. m. yesterday says: "The city
rings with the reports of rifles and
revolyers, and occasionally a volley
is fired. Every house and tenement
is bolted and barred. The infantry
patrols are doing their duty periunctor-
lily, declining to fire on the mobs unless
they themselves are attacked. The Cos
sacks are said to have lost over a hun
dred men by bombs and shots from win
dows. Cossack patrols carry csrbioes
and have their fingers on the triggers.
The streets are absolutely unsafe for
civilians. The casualties yesterday are
believed to have amounted to 5000
killed and wounded. In the Jewish quar-
ter bodies still strew the streets and side
walks. Jewish women and children
were straDgled and hacked to pieces in
the streets where the mob gained the
upper hand. A Red Cross doctor tells
me that the Kishenef horrors were re-
peated a hun1redfold. The students
alone saved the city from wholesale sack
and massacre. Twenty-six carts full of
wounded have just passed by my door.
The sound OF firing is again moving
westward toward the Jewish quarters.
The mobs swear they will not leave
single Jew alive"

AMONG the representatives OF tue
neople to be chosen next Tuesday Is a
Delegate from Alexandra city aud
county to the Legislature of Virginia. A
majority of voters at last Augusrs prI-
mary election selected Mr.. james h.
Cation. who has been faithful and eih-
Gent representative for several years
past to succeed himself. There is 10
doubt that the nomination will be con,
Rrmed by handsome majority at the
general election. Mr.. J. B. Henderson,
of Alexandria county, has been selected
by the republicans as their candidate for
the position. With no purpose to say
aught against the gentleman OF their
choice, it is suggested that this IS no
time to place an inexperienced man IN
the Legislature, as, should the unlikely
occur, he would enter that body as q
novice and would have much TO learn.
As to his efficiency, he would never be
able to rise above the STANDARD acquired
by Mr.. Cation, who is recognized as one
of the most capable and energetic men
in the General Assembly. At the present
time il is of vital importance that Alex
andria should have representative at
Richmond who is personally interested
in this district and who is thoroughly
familiar with its want and what Is rea-
sonably due it. Every democrat in the
city and county is earnestly urged to
take the trouble to vote and see that Mr..
Cation rolls up a large majority. Alex
audria has arrived at point in her his
tory when advantage should be taken Of
the conditions which surround her. To
leave anything undone would be fatal.
The city's interests are at stake, and
there are more than enough democrats
here to keep the right man in the right
place. Let all see th9t it is done.

a special train from Annapolis shortly be-
fore noon today, accompanied by Rear
Admiral Evans. At the station to meet
them was also Sir Mortimer Durand, the
British Ambassador Immediately after
the exchange of greetings, the prince
aud bis staff were driven to the British

took carriages and drove rapidly to the
British Embassy.
This afternoon the prince aud the Of
fcers who accompanied him to America,
were received by the President at the
White House, the intrOductions being
made by the British Ambassador. A
notable feature of this function was the
presentation by the prince of personal
letter to the President from King Edward.
Although the contents ofthe letter are not
known, it is snrmised that besides con-
veying general expressions of good will,
the communication records the grati6ca-
ton felt by his majesty over the happy
termination of the RussO-Japanese war
as a result of President Roosevelps eff
forts.
The prince will remain in Washington
over Sunday. During his visit here be
will be deliberately entertained by both
this government and by his own through

nifty of meeting all the high officials cf
