WHAT Is DOING
THE WORLD OVER.
A WORD ABOUT The LEADING
EVENTS OF The WEEK.
Election Returns.

The elections resulted in a victory for
Hughes In New York and for Guild in
Massachusetts,, the tormer by 5000, and
the latter By nearly 10000. Hearsts lead
in Greater New York did not exceed
5000. tie carried Brooklyn by a small
plurality In spite Of MeCarren. Hearst's
strength was in the cites aud he took sew
eral large municipalities out OF the Repub-
lican column, There was great falling
OF of the votes compared with 1901.
Moran's vote in Massachusetts, was ahead
OF the Democratic vote OF two years ago.
Guild made larger gains. There will be a
Democratic governor in Rhode Island and
Democrats will write the constitution of
the new state OF OK shoma. IL was Dem
ocratie landslide in Minnesota.
The closing days OF the campaign ia
New York and Massachusetts, were very
strenuous indeed. Both Hughes and
Hearst spoke many times daily. Secretary
Root spoke at Utica, iiaying Hearst under
authority Of President Roosevelt, and re-
peating the accusation that Hearst's
papers incIted Czolgosz to the murder Of
Mckinley. Ex- Boss Croker, from his
abode in Ireland, cabled a rebuke to
Murphy for supper ing Hesrst. Bryan
wrote letter endorsing Hearst and hop
ing for his election. Betting on the result
in New York was 3 to in favor of Hughes.

east side of Beatty mountain, in the Bull
frog mining district. Nevada. The com

lions. George Ross is president of the
company; William Rauscher. vice presi-
dent; DR.. II. T. Hazel. treasurer; these
with n. E. Taylor of Beatty, and j. NJ
Hamilton, of this city, constituting the
board of directors.
These properties were located by Mr..
Taylor early in the history of the camp
and, while no work other than that re-
quired by law to hold them, has been
done, the showing made is said to have
been such that the local talent which has
taken hold Of the proposition with Mr..
Taylor is confident that the ground can
be converted into a producer by the time
the Clark road reaches camp in June
mkt. At any rate the Salt Lakers who
have taken hold Of the proposition are
about enthusiastic over 1t it is
possible for mOrtals to be.

from Argentina, the total movement for
the week being 2,744.OO0 bushels COM
pared with 4.S50.O00 bushels the preceding

for shipment to Liverpool and advices
from Minneapolis told of q sharp ad-

STOCK MARKET
IS IRREGULAR
Relief From the Threatened
Money Stringency Stopped
Downward Tendency.

New York, April 12.-Today's money
market did not fulfill the promise held
out by the violent relapse in rates yes
terday, caused by the news Of the heavy
enga gements Of gold for import With
call loans opening at 10 per cent and
large amounts loaning near that rate,
yesterdays view of the extent of the
relief afforded by the gold engagements
was modified, although the money rate
ran off later. A considerable relief from
the stringency before existing was OBJ
Vious and there was no sign of pressure
Of liquidation in the stock market There
was an equal lack Of any aggressive in
itiative towards speculative accumuia-
ton of stocks or attempts to advance
prices. Notable strength was limited to
a few individual stocks and the move
ment was hating and irregular.
An important relief of the local bank
ing tension has been secured by the
larger transfer of speculative holdings
of stocks from New York to london.
Readings strength today was connected
with hopes Of a labor settlement and the
adjournment of the coal conference was
followed by a reaction in that stock.
This was the mainstay of the whole mar
ket and prices declined in sympathy 20

easy.
