SAYRE MAKES ANSWER IN
 H. B. GRAY CONTEMPT CASE

Montgomery, November T.-(Special.)-- Judge A. D. Sayre of the city court in equity has answered in the case of Henry B. Gray and others vs. the Louisville and Nashville railroad, whereby he was estopped by the supreme court from pro- ceeding to hear contempt proceedings against the officers of the road after is- suing an order busting the said company from the control of the South and North railroad of Alabama. The case is set for hearing next Thursday in the supreme court, the first motion day of the new term.
 In this litigation Judge Sayre issued an order busting the Louisville and Nash vile from control of the South and North on the ground that the Alabama law had not been adhered to in securing such con- trol. After the issuance of the order the Louisville and Nashville continued the operation and the officers were cited to appear before Judge Sayre and show cause why they should be adjudged in contempt of court.
 Before the date set for this hearing the Louisville and Nashville secured an order from the supreme court stopping the hearing in the contempt proceedings and

ENGLISH COMMENT
 ON HEARST DEFEAT
ALL THINK IT SHOWS HOW NEAR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE TO ENDORSING HEARsTisM IN FULL.

London, November S.-All the morning newspapers publish long editorial articles on the result of the election in New York state. Few of them say anything of the results in other states. With scarcely an exception they comment on the close vote as an indication of the popular discontent with enormous combinations of capital
 The Daily Telegraph thinks the moral is that Americans, while mot quite ready to accept Hearstism' in full, are heartily sick of being robbed by trusts and cor porations, and are preparing to go a considerable way in that direction"
 The Mail considers the result as an evidence of growing exasperation against trusts and their tactics, while the Chron- icle in similar vein says, Americans, if they are wise, will read the true moral not in the majority against MT. Hearst, but in the huge minority for him." Several newspapers comment on the in- tervention of President Roosevelt, through Secretary Root. The Standard and the Tribune consider the result a serious re- buff for the President, while the Mail says it is an 'unquestionable victory for him.

citing the judge of the city court In equity to appear on the first motion day of the new term, which is next Thursday, and show cause why q permanent writ of prohibition should not Issue. This Is the order to which the judge has filed an answer.
 Judge Sayre answers that he found no law to support the theory that in judg- ments of custer the judgment Is suspend ed pending an appeal; also that the rail- way officers were cited to show cause why they were not in contempt, it having at no time been adjudged that they were. The order of custer was issued May 16 of this year and the supreme court order May 20.
 This is one of the many cases growing out of the attempt of Henry B. Gray and other small stockholders to prevent the sale of the South and North railroad to the Louisville and Nashville. In this case the merits of the case have not been taken up by the supreme court. This lat ter court has passed on one feature, ho ing that litigation begun in the chancery court of Birmingham must be fought out there, the decision being that if Gray is not satisfied he can intervene.
 The habeas corpus case of John Will Hams, condemned for the murder of Rob ert l.. Hipp, and held upon the ground that he is insane, will also come up next Thursday.

THOUSANDS DISFRANCHISED
 BY NEW RUSSIAN RULING

These two rulings. together undo to great extent the extension of the suf- frage proclaimed by Count Witte in De-
 cember of last year. Their object was today frankly avswed by a member of the cabinet to be to rid the electorate of that class of voters which is too easily swayed by the influence of revolution agltators. This official, who is one of the few sur viving ministers of the old regime. doubt ed whether the restriction of the suffrage or the execution of Premier Stolypin's programme of agrarian, political and re- ligious reforms would be effective In pro- duclng new Parliament less oppositional than the first one. Continuing, this mem Der of the cabinet expressed the convic- ton that it probably would be found nec- essary to dismiss the new Parliament with q shorter shift than the first, and make sweeping revision in the election laws before summoning a third body.

EXPECT TO COMPROMISE. Switchmen and Chicago Roads Trying
 to Get Together.

Chicago, November 7.-The switch mems union today declined the propo- sition made by the managers of the railroads entering Chicago to arbitrate the demands of the men for an increase in wages of 10 cents an hour. The railroad managers then offered the men an incmrease of cents an hour, and proposed arbitration of the question whether or not the men should receive the 10 cents an hour increase.
 The men took the proposition of the employers under consideration. and 1t is expected reply will be returned tomorrow. The general impression to- night among both the employers and switchmen was that compromise would be reached and that strike of the 10000 switchmen employed on the roads interested in the controversy would be averted.

St. Petersburg, November 7-Phe chances of the socialists in the coming election of members to Parliament were dealt a sweeping blow yesterday by the interpretation giver by the Senate to the new election law, which at one stroke dlsfranchised thousands of the poorer classes. City employees. the operating per- sonnel of the railroads and even the loco- motive engineers, the most skilled and highest paid labor in Russia, are affected by the interpretation. Outside of factory workmen, the ranks of the socialist party are recruited chiefly from railroad men. This new interpretation is supplementary to the Senates ruling of October 20 from which it was estimated that over half a million persons who voted in the last election had been cut off from the elec ton districts.
