ELECTIONS IN MANY STATES


&H0 1dytSi -
New York, Ncv. objections held
throughout the country yesterday pass
ed off in comparative quiet. Inc re-
turns from various sections show the
following results:
Massachusetts reflects the entire he
publicap state ticket, headed by Cover
nor Curtis Guild, Jr. Henry M. Whit
new, the Citizens Democratic candidate
for governor, polled a much heavier
vote than Charles W. Bartlett, the anti
merger Democrat.
Pennsylvania elects John 0. Sheath,
Republican, head OF the ticket LOT state
treasurer, by large majority. -
New York state elects Edward L.
BARTLETT and Willard BARTLETT, joint can
didates on the Republican and Demo
cratic ticket for justices of the court oil
Appeals, over the candidates Ct the In
dependence League (Hearst.)
New York City elects the Tammany
candidates by considerable majorities
over the Independence League RepuD
lican candidates.
The Maryland contest for the govern
orship Ia in doubt owing to lateness oil
returns. Conservative estimates based
on meager returns give Crothers, Dem
ocrat, for governor, a plurality OF e,lOO
to 5000.
The Rhode Island returns indicate
the reelection of Governor James ID.
Higgins, Democrat, over Frederick I'll.
Jackson, Republican, by plurality es-
timated at about 1000, showing q
Democratic gain over the plurality OF
last year.
The election OF the Democratic ticket
in Mississippi, headed by E. f. Noel
for governor, is foregone conclusion,
as there is no opposition ticket.
The Kentucky returns indicate Re-
publican gains, but whether they will
be enough to overcome the last Demo
cratic majority ia not yet evident.
In Nebraska, M. B. Reese, Republi-
can candidate for the Supreme court,
the most important state office voted
on, is undoubtedly elected.
The American or anti Mormon ticket
at Salt Lake City is estimated to have
the largest pluralities ever given in
that city.
At Toledo, Mayor Brand Whitlock
and the entire Independent ticket is re-
elected
Cincinnati elects Colonel Leopold
Markbreit, the Republican candidate
for mayor.
Alta very late hour the figures favor
ed the election of Katzenback, Demo-
crat, as governor of New Jersey, but his
lead was very narrow over Fort, Repub-
lican, less than 1000 separating them.

MAKE NEW YORK PAY.


peal to Roosevelt.
Washington, Nov. 3.-Senatcr Hey
burn called on the President yesterday
to protest against further deposits of
government money with New York
banks until those institutions consent
to pay reserves of Western banks in
cash instead OF cashiers checks. The
president requested the senator to pre-
sent his views in writing, which he
did as follows:
''On behalf OF the people of thu
Western states, and especially those of
the Northwestern states, l would urge
that no further deposits OF money from
the treasury of the United States be
made in New York banks except on
the condition that such banks shall
Immediately make available in money
to the banks in such Western states the
full amount of the reserves held by
such New York banks on account OF
such Western banks.
1.-THE tying up of many millions of
dollars of Western money representing
the reserves OF tie Western banks held
by New York banks must inevitably re
suit in empowering the New York
banks to determine the time and condi-
tions OF free resumption OF banking
functions by the Western banks, where
as, II the reserves Of the Western banks
could be converted into available mon
ey at once, the financial situation Of
the West would be free from domino
ton on the part OF the East.

Atlanta. Ga, Nov. l2.--The claim
of the state OF Georgia against the Fed

patton OF the Western and Atlantic
railway immedia ely after the Civil
war, aggregating 5000, 1853, will be
pressed at the approaching session of
congress. Bills providing for this will
be presented by Senator Clay and Rep.

September 20, 1868.

ARREST BANKERS.
Conditions of Title Guarantee & Trust
Co to Be Investigated.

Portland, Nov. 8. - Developments
yesterday In the affairs of the Title
Guarantee & Trust company we're fol-
lows:
District Attorney Manning says he
will cause the arrest of officers Of the
bank today on complaint of g. F.
Ehman, who deposited 81 $3.50 the day
before the bank closed. Ehman agrees
to swear to complaint charging the bank
officers with having accepted deposits
when they knew the bank to be insolv-
ent, contrary to law.
State Treasurer Steel's violation Of
law in depositing 5000, 900 school funds
without security Is considered by Dis
trict Attorney Manning, of Multnomah,
and District Attorney McNary, OF Mar
ion, as basis for criminal prosecution.
Opinion that Steel should resign is
held in numerous quarters and is shar-
ed by Governor Cham be,lain, but Steel
says he will not resign. Resignation
would enable the state to sue bondsmen
for indemnity.
Governor Chamberlain will continue
holidays indefinitely, and probably will
issue one proclamation for all of next
week.

MAY CALL EXTRA SESSION.



San Francisco, Nov. Sat confer
ence with members of the clearing
house and leading business men today
Governor Gillett will be urged to call
an extra session of the legislature to
take some action regarding the present
financial situation, in view of the fact
that taxes become delinquent Novem-
Der 80.
Local banks are much more optimis-
tic over the situation today, and the
fact that business does not appear to be
seriously disturbed by the use of the
clearing house scrip is giving them
much encouragement. The new paper
money is being accepted everywhere
without question and business is going
ahead as usual.
From the subtreasury here s945, 900
went out In gold yesterday. Interior
cities got some of this coin, and the
balance went into the banks here.
More will be paid cut today.
