THE TURNKEY

Hear TIE turkey gobbling,
All the live long day.
Do any of you know
What he is trying to say?
He is trying to tell you
AS plain as he Is able,
That he'll be stuffed and baked
And put on the Thanksgiving table.
Thanksgiving Day IS drawing near,
Happiest day Of all the year.
All the turkey, fruit and pies
That looks so good to children's eyes.
The cranberry sauce so nice and sweet;
The nuts with their tender meat.
And all the fun and all the play
That's going on on Thanksgiving Day.

years exile from his native country,
it is practically certain that he will
be brought TO triad in due time un-
der the accusation of organizing a
conspiracy to overthrow the Cars

1t is generally believed that he will
be hanged or shot and that all those
who are even suspicioned with com
plicity in his plots will be sent to

CAPTAINS OF FINANCE ARE
LINED UP IN BATTLE ARRAY
FOR THE CONTROL OF THE
ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILWAY.

Chicago, Dec 17.-Lined up in
battle array, dhe cohorts of Stuyves-
ant Fish and t. II. Hartman. cap
tains OF high finance, are assembling
IN Chicago today, preparatory to the
great battle for the control of the
Illinois Central railroad, which will
begin at noon tomorrow with the
converting of the adjourned annual
meeting of the company. Not in re-
cent years has struggle for finan-
cial mastery attracted so much at
tention as has the warfare between
Fish and Hartman. With the bat
tie now matter of hours. doubt still
movers over the situation the adher-
ents Of both sides claiming to have
in their possession the means of
gaining the spoils of victory. The
campaign of vituperation which has
been n feature of the controversy for
many weeks continues unabated. Be
hind the scenes, anxious men with
pads Of paper and pencils are busily
engaged in making interminable
rows of figures representing the
votes they hope to cast tomorrow,
and which will involve the control
of a great railroad property. The
Fish supporters declare that they
have enough proxies to accomplish
the defeat of Hartman and his fell
low directors, John Jacob Astor and
A. G.. Hackstaff, who are up for re-
election on the board of directors.
If Fish succeeds. Hartman, Astor
and Hackstaff will be forced from
the directorate OF the Illinois Cen
trial. If Hartman wins, as his ad-
herents declare is certain, Fish Will
have to leave the board of directors.
The foreign stockholders, including
the Rothschilds, are alleged to have
given their proxies to Fish. This is
not admitted by the Hartman side
August Belmont & Company are the
American representatives of the
Rotchschilds, and a member of the
Belmont firm, Walter Luttgen, is a
director of the Illinois Central. Lutt-
gen has in the past been identified
with The Hartman interests, and
his apparent change to Fish ad-
herent gives grounds for the belief
that the great European financiers
have come to the support of Stuyves-
ant Fish.
Cornelius Vanderbilt is taking an
active part in the fight against Fish
despite the fact that it was the lat
ter who nomiqated him as member
Of the Illinois Central board, the
only railroad directorate that young
Vanderbilt has ever achieved. The
recent attack on Fish, circulated by
President Harahan in an effort to
secure proxies, was signed by Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, as we'll as by Har-
riman. John Jacob Aston. Charles A.
Peabody and other members Of the
board of directors. with the excep-
ton Of Walter Lutt gen. This attack
was characterized as desperate and
vicious" by Mr.. Fish. and he now de-
clares that it has done the Hartman
forces more harm than good

vices from that state are to the effect
that the election next Tuesday will
probably result the same way.
In Massachusetts the democratic
party has split into two factions and
each has named a state ticket. The
reelection of Governor Curtis Guild,
republican, is regarded here as a fore
gone conclusion in view of the lack OF
harmony in the Democratic ranks.
The election in Mississippi will be
of a purely perfunctory character,
merely to confirm the results of the

Special to the Herald.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 31.-Elec-
tons will be held in nine states next
Tuesday. Governors are to be voted
for in Maryland, New Jersey, Rhode
Island, Massachusetts, Kentucky and
Mississippi In Pennsylvania, Ne
braska and New York a few minor
state officers are to be chosen.
Though the campaigns in several of
the states are more or less exciting
they are attracting little attention be-
yond the borders of the common
wealths in which they are held. Few
of the contests are expected to have
any far-reaching effect upon national
politics.
The most interesting state contest
in the East is probably that in Mary
land, where a governor, state comp
troller, attorney general and clerk of
the court of appeals are to be elected.
The issue this year is the election
laws enacted by a democratic legisla-
ture. Both parties are claiming the
state.
The New Jersey campaign is not at
tracing much attention outside the
state and even within the state there
is not much excitement over It, The
issues are purely state. The republi-
cans predict the election of their gu
bernatorial candidate, J. Franklin
Fort, while the democrats are equally
confident that their candidate, Frank
S. Katzenbach, will be successful.
Rhode Island will elect a governor
and other state officers. Republicans
are confidently predicting the defeat
of James H. Higgins, the present gov
ernor. The campaign IS to large eX-
tent a duplication of that of last year,
which resulted in the election. of
