EXPECT LIGHT VOTE
Apathy Apparent in Regard to Special Election Set for
 day.
ABOUT oNE.THIRD LIKELY
Result Should Be Known Early, as Votes Will Be Few and
 Straight.

Although this will be election day in this city, 1t will prove a very apathetic one unless the leaders of the two parties who have candidates up for election lose their guess There are but two candidates before the vot- CTS, Andrew P. Allen on the democrat ic side and Robert F. Lee on the re- publican, and on account of the fact that this is special election held for selecting holder for rather clerical office in city hall not much interest Is being taken in the fight. While the two candidates have been making earnest canvasses to land as many votes for themselves as possible the rank and file of the voters are taking little interest in the fight and unless one of the parties decides to go to the expense of making an unexpected fight to get out It's voters there will be a small vote cast Chairman John F. Doughan of the democratic party fig- ured that 1t would be doing well If one-third of the average vote came out, and the republicans figure that one-half would be good sized vote under the circumstances.
 The last details have been made and the ballots all distributed. The polls will be open from the usual hour this morning. The returns this year will be sent in to the First ward polling place which will be In Music hall in Court street. They will prob ably be in early as the fact of & light vote coupled with the straight tickets will facilitate the counting.

Von Buelow Thinks British Germano-
 phobes Are Oyer- Excited.

London, Sept. 1.-The Standard this morning prints long interview with Prince von Buelow, the German chan cellor at Norderney.

 With reference to British apprehen- sions in the matter of German naval aggression the chancellor thinks that 1t would be more natural and excus- able if the Germans were apprehensive of being attacked pointing out that Great Britain has not been invaded since the time of William the Con- oueror. Continuing Prince yon Buelow says. 1T can assure you that nobody of any sense or influence in Germany dreams in picking a quarrel with England much less Is there any such insane idea as that of invading Eng land.
