"Saturday's registration shows decided
republican gains In Omahn. Although tho
registration was uuusually light, thfre was
a marked Increase In the proportion the
republican voters bore to the entire number
of registrations loported. In 1900 the re
publican votcra who registered numbered
73 per cent of the entire number. Thle year
tbo ratio of the republicans to representa
tives ot other parties Is 83 per cent, an
Incroaso of 10 per cent," said Charles .
Goss, chairman of the republican county
central committee. "It Is quite evident
that many of the voter who deserted tho
republicans on the money Issue have to
turned to the party.
"Tho republican gains nrc much larger
than expected. If the weather bad been
fino Saturday the results of the registration
would' probably bavo been even more grati
fying to the republicans The work of
getting out voters was greatly hindered by
the s,torm. Many voters who delayed regis
tration until Saturday night refused to
Icavd home on account of the rain. Tho
falling off In the total registration seems
to be general throughout the city and tho
Increase In tho ratio tho republican votcr3
bear to the entire number of voters regis
tered also seems to be quite universal.
"Members of tho republican county cen
tral committee uro qultn encouraged over
the good showing tho party has made at a
tlmo when there Is but llttlo enthusiasm
In political circles. There Is every lndlcu
tlon that the republicans will carry Douglas
county by n very handsome figure. In my
opinion, every mnn on tho republican ticket
will ho elected. All conditions Indicate
that this la a republican year."

"Many democrats registered yesterday as
members of other parties. The result of
tho registration docs not indicate tho pro
portional strength, of tho republican and
democratic parties, sniu is. fc. iiowow
chairman of the democratic county central
committee. "In South Omaha many Ilo
hcmluns who nro democrats and will vote
the democratic ticket, registered ns repub
llcans this fall. They nro pledged to sup-"
port Koutsky for mayor and had to register
as republicans so they can assist him by
voting lu tho republican primaries.
"Tho bad weather pluycd havoc with tho
registration, but. In my opinion, both
parties suffered equally ns a result of tho
.storm. From reports that have come to mo
through democratic workers, I know that
tho party Is well organized throughout tho
county nnd nm confident that It will turn
up with more than Its share of the county
olnces.
"It Is Impossible to Judge tho party
strongth from the registrations. I know of
many men In Omaha who registered na re
publicans but who will support tho entire
democratic ticket. Then, thoro are many
republicans who will support part of the
democratic ticket. Tho split In tho repub
llcan forces Improves the chances of tho
democrats."

Anna, nnd I've got something for you."
Ho arose nnd opened the door to find n

Amusements
Oriilirnni.
With tho usual Sunday "packed to tho
doors" bouses nt both the matinee ami
night performances at tho Orphcum, tho
new week's vaudeville bill was given Its
Initial presentation. If the merits ot tho
various acts were to be Judged by the ap
plause bestowed upon each of the seven
numbers on tho program, each of them
would )u entitled to the headline position
upon tho bill. Judged crltlcnlly tho per
formance can bu truthfully said to be en
titled to tho distinction of ranking as ono
of the season's strongest nt this theater.
Felix and Harry, who occupy tho position
of headllncrs, are old favorites here, nnd
despite the fact that this Is tho third tlmo
they hnvo presented almost Identically tho
same net In Omaha, the audience seemed
to find ns much amusement lu It ns though
It were new. Gcorgo Felix, a clever
knockabout man, had adopted the oldtlmo
McNIsh stlcncu nnd fun Idea, elaborating
It enough to bring It up to date, and tho
result Is one of tho best turns of Its kind
In vaudeville.
Mile. Lotty Is another local favorite. Her
posea plnstlquo nro novelties In the lino
of electric effects, the colorings being rich
and delicate and gorgeously beautiful.
Mndgo Fox, a former Omaha girl, sings coon
songs In a rather original way. Sho In
tersperses graceful acrobatic work among
tho verses ot her songs. The balance of
tho program Includes Ouoman nnd Adollo
In n laughable sketch, Parros brothers, ath
letes, tho tossing Austins and Nugent and
Fertlg.

'Lost In New York." a melodramatic
effort, recently unearthed from the ar
chives of antiquity, was the offering at the
Doyd Sunday. Ago seems to have had little
effect upon Its drawing powers, since tho

Omaha, and several others of the prlu

ho enjoyed tho performance be made tho
following characteristic reply: "Us not

CINCINNATI, Nov, 3. Following their
closing rally hero Inst night and the re
ceptions to Colonel James Kllbourno, dem
ocratic candidate for gortrnor, and other
democratic leaders today, the democrats
ro claiming that they will elect rart of
tbclr ticket lu Hamilton county. It Is
hnrdly probable that tbls wilt affect tho
ocrI legislative candidates, but It will ma
terially affect the state ticket If the demo
crats should secure part of the county
offices here.
The republicans lost both Cuyahoga aud
.uens counties two years ngo, when Gov
ernor Nash had a plurality of 4'.',000. Al
though the result nt Cleveland nnd Toledo
s likely to be very close, yet tho condi
tions ate not considered so demoralizing
us those were two years ago.
Tho republicans conrcde that tho result
Is doubtful In Franklin county, In which
tho state cnpltul Is located. The democrats
nro confidently clnlmlng tho county, In
which both Governor Nosh nnd Colonel Kll
bourno reside. There Is some opposition
tn Governor Nash on account of his ap
pointments and It Is claimed that tho popu
larity of Colonel Kllbourne, especially
among the worklngmen, will add strength
to tho democratic ticket In thnt county.
The republicans can loso both Cuyahoga
and Franklin counties nnd still lave a
majority In the legislature for senator If
they carry' Hamilton and Lucas counties, ns
seems most probable.
Full Ticket to lie Kleuted.
Tho olcctlon this year Is for a full stnto
ticket and county tickets, ns well as mem
bers of tho legislature. During tho last
half of tho century tho democrats havo
elected only four governors nnd with a
single exception they were elected In years
following presidential elections, which havo
for that reason becomo known ns off years.
The republicans have had uninterrupted
control of the state ever slnco tho first
election of McKlnloy ns governor, In 1881.
They deny that nny so-cnlled off year con
ditions exist nnd claim to bo In better con
dition for success than for yenrs. Tho
managers on both sides nro more reluctant
about giving out estimates than usual. This
Is duo to the uncertainty ns to tho shortage
of the vote on both sides nnd the repub
ltcnns any li prevents them from predicting
as closely as usual tho extent of their
plurality. Tho question ot local option has.
beta actively debated, but with the brewers
nnd liquor organizations on one side nnd
the Ohio Anti-Saloon league on tho other
side this Issue Is considered ns a standoff
between tbo two leading parties. The ouly
large city In which this Issue hns figured
Is Columbus. It Is directed solely at mem
bers of tho legislature nnd somo of the
"leaguers" havo been opposing Senator
Foraker's re-election by fighting candidates
that would support him.

NRW YORK, Nov. 3. The gubernatorial
campaign In Now Jertey was brought to a
closo Inst night with tho lenders of both
parties claiming victory for their respec
two candidates. It was ono of tbe mos
stubborn ever fought In tho state, the ro
publicans leaving no stone unturned to
hold the stnto machinery which they have
controlled for nearly a decade, whllo tho
democrats struggled to take It from them
Doth sides nre tonight clnlmlng victory.
The republicans base their hopes on two
thlngn. First, the largo majority which
must be wiped out by tho opposition; nnd
second, on the fact that thoy think tho
voters, pleased at the prosperous condition
of affairs In tho state, will return a re
publican governor ns nn evidence of tholr
Indorsement of tho nntlonnl administration
and as nn ussurnnco to the present bend of
tbo administration that they havo confl
denco In him. It was principally on tb
latter Issue thnt the party made Its fight.
The democrats claim victory chiefly on
the personal popularity of tholr candldat
for governor, JameH M. Seymour. He I
very popular with tho working classes nnd
his sticugtb Is acknowledged by his op
poucnts. Ho has thrlro been elected mayor
of Newark by large majorities.
Roth state committees have compile
tables mado up from reports from various
counties of the state. Tho republicans, by
their figures, bbow that Franklin Murphy,
their candidate for governor, who Is also
chairman ot tho committee, wllUbe elected
by about 10,000 majority.
Tho campaign in Philadelphia has beon
unusually active, tho Interest centering I
the fight for district attorney. Tho reg
ulnr republicans, backed by tho city and
state administration forces and Unllud
States Senators Prnroue und Quay, place
In nomination John Weaver for district at
tomey, while the Union party and Municipal
league named the preent Incumbent, P,
F. Rothcrmel, n republican.
A fraction of the democratic party, bow
ever, refused to Join, the reformers and
placed In regular nomination William Wll
klns Cnrr, a democrat and postmaster of
tho city during the Cleveland administra
tion. It Is generally admitted, however, that
tho real battle at tbo polls on Tuesday
111 bo between tho. respective adherents
f Weaver nnd Rothormel. Many protnl-
cnt democrats, among them ex-Governor
Hobert Pattlson, have been actlvo par
ticipants In the campaign In tho interest
f Rothermol, The latter was elected in
1898 by a majority .of 73,000, but at that
tlmo had tho support of the regular re
publican forces, now opposing his ro-clcc-tlon.
PASTORS PLEAD FOR PURITY
ilvlce l'.mnnntrs from Nevr York I'nl-
nltn ItcKarillnK Tickets Worthy
of Snpport.
NKW YORK, Nov. 3. The feature of tho
local political campaign today was the ac-
Ivo part taken In It by the pastors of the
churches. Thirty-ono clergymen and two
endcrs of Independent church societies nd-
ertlsed themselves to speak on the Issue
f the election nnd all theso clergymen took
for their subjects the alleged maladminis
tration of the present city offices.
Rabbi Schulman urged ou his hearers the
nupport of the fusion ticket because of the
revelations concerning vlco In tho tcne-'
ment districts. All the Proteslnnt proachors
reported except tw'o talked for the fusion
ticket, asserting that vice nnd unsanitary
conditions existed here nnd a change was
needed. ,
Thn exceptions -wore Dr. David O. Wyllo
f tho Scottish Presbyterian church nnd
Dr. Vnndewater of St. Andrew's Episcopal
church, who advised their congregations to
xamlnc the two tickets closely nnd vote
for the best men oh them.
Henry Frank ot the Metropolitan Inde
pendent church advised hlB hearers to vote
against bosses; whether they camn from
his city or TlOgn county." Father J. Duey
of St. Leo's Catholic church was hlono in
those reported who spoke on the cloctlon
for tbe Shepard side.
Ono of tbo features of tho fusion cam
paign has been the work of the women's
campaign committee. A report Issued to
day says this committee had distributed
several hundred thousand copies In English
nd German of a pamphlet purporting to
be an expose of vlco In tho city. Tho
democrats also had a women's campaign
committee actively at work during tho
canvass, but no-report ot Its labors has yet
nppearcd.
COLD WAVE MAY CUT IN IOWA
IleniihllcanN Klttnre that the I, a rut or
the Total Vote the I.artce'r
Their Plurality Will lie.
DBS MOINES, Nov. 3. Nn new develop
ments havo arisen today In tho election
outlook, beyond the severe chnngo In tbo
weather, which, If continued, is likely to
affect the turnout nt the polls.
Chairman Spencc ot the republican com
mittees estimates a total vote of about
410,000, of which, he thinks, the republican
ticket will got 250,000. tho democratic ticket
75,000 and -the remainder scattering. This
would give 75,000 plurality for the' repub
lican ticket and any change from theso
figures would be caused by the size ot tho
total vote tbo larger tho total, the larger
tho republican plurality.
Frank Stuart, secretary of tho democratic
stato committee, thinks tho republican 'cs
tlmates are too large,, but refuses to glvo
any figures or his own. no eays tne re
publicans, have put, up their strongest men
and ho thinks this fact should bring out
nearly the full democratic vote.
J. H. Campbelll-cbalrman of the prohlbl
tion state 'committee, says he1 Is satisfied
with tho prospects for a large vote f6r tho
prohibition! ticket, tho largest, In fact, ever
cast for that ticket In this state. Ho estl
mates tho minimum vote ot his party at
25,000.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 3. The annual re
port of Second Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral William Shnllcnbergcr, mado publicto
day, urges regular direct fast mall scrvlco
between the Pacific coast nnd the Orient,
the rc-estnbllshment of pneumatic tubo
service generally nnd the closer separa
tion of city mall by postal clerks of rail
way trains rather than by clerks of tho
mailing division after Its arrival In tho
general postofllcc,
Under tho Inst-namcd proposition tho en-
tiro force engaged In distributing thn mall
ready for the carriers would be under ono
management and congestion In n postoftlco
could be overcome by tho temporary de
tail of railway mall clerks then off duty.
Tho city distribution In postal cars has
been assumed Indirectly by the inllway
mall service, supplanting tho former prac
tice, of having clerks from the city post
nfflro go out some distance on tho road to
meet Incoming trains. Constant demands
aro now being mado for still closer separa
tion by- having- the' railway mnll clerk or
superintendent In chnrgo take tho out
going mall from tho public and sou
that It Is expeditiously dispatched aud also
deliver tho Incoming mall properly, mado
up for the carriers.
Mr. Shallenberger suggests for the present
test ot tho practical operation ot this

The PostofTtcc department hns no con
tract for direct mnll scrvlco between tho
Pacific roast nnd tho Philippines, moll
being carried by government transports or
by 'steamers to (long Kong nnd thence by
teamers of other countries to Manila.
"It now seems probable," says tho re
port, "that It this government should with
draw Its transports, ns may bo done at nny
time, with the understanding that Its pas-
cngcrs and fast freight traffic, together
with tbo Increasing volumo ot Its malls.
might go to the steamship company which
submits tho most perfect proposal for quick
nnd regular service, a favorable contract
could be secured.
The mall service and commercial Inter
ests would be greatly advanced by fast
mall steamers adhering strictly to schedule
tlmo between the Pacific coast and Manila
and calling at other ports nt regular In
tervals, under contract with this govern
ment." I'nenmntlc Tnlic Service.
The request for $500,000 appropriation for

for the beginning of tbe service, which,

mately $800,000. Tho department expresses
Its opinion and that of the commission ot
experts that Investigated thu subject that
the outright purchase of tbe system
should not be considered by congress p'end-
ng a more complete test.

service, 183,358 ot railroad routes, 45,77:1

3,006 miles of electric and cnbln car routes.
The annual rato ot cxpendlturo for all

CHICAGO, Nov. 3. There was an in
tensely dramatic scene In Holy Name ca
thedral today when, In the presence of fully
1.000 parishioners, Jeremiah J. Crowley,
the excommunicated Roman Catholic prlcsl,
was publicly humiliated by order of thn
authorities of tho church. Father Crowley
hsd entered tho church uunbduncd, passing
up tho center aisle, nnd bad taken a seat
nlmost under the pulpit. Solemn high mas
was being celebrated nt the time.
When the presence, of Fnther Crowley
became known Rov. . Francisco J
Harry, chancellor of tbe nrohdln
cesa of Chicago, was hurriedly
sent for. I'pon entering thn cathedral he
went straight to tho seat where tho ex
communicated clergyman was. kneeling and
ordered him to leave tin' church. Father
Crowley refused to go, saying: "Put mo
out If :ou dare."
The strain was InteiiM1 nnd one woman
In the congregation fainted. 'Thero was
no report to force, howotcr. Chancellor
Harry ilgualid to a man In the choir loft
and the sound of the organ ceased nnd thn
singing of tho choir wns liuehed. The
priests In tho altar stopped tho solemn
servlri) nt ih. end of the "Gloria" nnd
walked to the benches nnd laid aside their
golden vestments. The nltnr boys marched
out of tbo s.mctunry through a side door
nnd the priests, clad In their cnssoiks, fol
lowed. Tbe next moment tho hundreds of
tncnndi'sccnt lights In lhd vaulted arches
wero (xtlnguli'bcil nnd tho candlelights on
tho altar were put out.

"Owing to tho presence In this sacred edl
ncnof an excommunicated priest the solemn
ntgh mass has been suspended. Wo will
proceed with a ' low mass." No .sermon
