Tho republican headquarters in the Mcr
chantn' hotel presented a busy scene from
, tho tlmo the returns began to come In at
8 o'clock until nearly midnight. A large
crowd had assembled to get the figures hot
from the telephone wires and among these
bnnked uu about the doors were several
candidates. Judge Bcrka stood on the out
akirts, deriving great satisfaction from corn
paring the vote of this year with that of n
Tlcar ago, with special reference to the po
lice judgeship. Seated at a table Inside
tho charmed circle, Judge Vlnsonhaler made
figures Industriously ou blue sample ballots,
while K, V. Urnllcy, candidate for coroner,
looked over his shoulder. Fred 13 riming,
candidate for county commissioner, and
Tom Crocker, candidate for register of
deeds, listened attentively as the man nt
tho telephone catled out the, news. Other
candidates dropped In during the course of
the evening to comparo the returns with
those received elsewhere,
A general air of confidence prevailed from
tho first, which became more manifest ns
the evening advanced. Twice was the
monotonous drone of the voice at the tele
phone Interrupted by resounding cheers;
onco when word came that "Tammany Is
knocked out," and tho other when a mes
sage was received that Judgo Sedgwick had
been elected.
Drniooriiti Wrtf l.tikvwnriit.
In tho rooms of the Jacksonlan club, 1417
Farnam street, a dozen stragglers stood
about, manifesting a lukewarm Interest In
the progress of the count. Just Inside tho
entrance a young man with long blonde hair
sat nt a table playing solltare. From the
window of an adjoining room a stercoptlcon
projected Illegible figures upon a canvas
acrosB tho street, while a crowd stood on
the sldcwnk below vainly striving to de
cipher them. Judge Gordon came In at 9:30
to ask "Where am I at?" He looked wor
ried, as much so cs when handing down tho
police court decision In tho formaldehyde
case.
The headquarters of the democratic
county central committee 213 South
Fourteenth, wore dark, having been
temporarily moved down to the coal
ofllco of K. E. Howell, the chairman. This
peemed to be tho center of democratic ac
tivity. The little odlce was crowded to
suffocation, but democratic candidates were
conspicuously absent, ns several unpleasant
things bad been said over tho telephone.
At 10 o'clock Chairman Howell said: "I
bfllcvo wo hnve elected the entire county
ticket. The returns" then he was called
to the telephone to repeat to some coal cus
tomer tho reports from the state election,
and from New York.
The rooms of the Douglas County Democ
racy on Fifteenth street were practically
deserted during the entire evening. A few
of tho faithful dropped In from time to
time, but found little encouragement to
remuln, The club, howevor, made some
concession to the fact that there was an
election by appointing a young man to at
tend the telephone and ho answered all
questions as to how things were going by
repeating: "The returns from tho Elev

mainder of tho week, If not for a longer

About It o'clock Mr. Low gave out a
formal statement In which ho said: "Tho
outcome of this election Is a splendid vin
dication of universal suffrage. From all
purts of tho city have come tho votes that
havo rebuked the Tammany orglo of tho

against tho aroused Indignation of the peo

Mr. Low is In receipt of hundreds of tele

also from different parts of thn state and

from President Roosevelt and Senator For

Edward M, Shepard made public acknowl

headquarters In Brooklyn. He scrjt a tele
gram of congratulation to Mr. Low and dic

he expressed his hope that tho coming ad
ministration would be a successful one.
His telegram read: "With all sincerity I
wish ycu the utmost success In the great
office to which tho people of Greater New
'ork have called you."
Mr. Shepard then dlcta'co this Htntement:
"I sincerely wish Mr. Low a thoroughly
luccessful administration. The pcoplo have
Indicated their decided preference. Not
only U it the duty of overy good cltlzon to
cheerfully acquiesce In tho result, but he
hould do his utmost to make tho result
beneficial to tho city. All of us republicans
and democrats alike should loyally bold
up the hands of thoso whom the pcoplo
havo chosen In nil good work on their part.
"I thoroughly appreciate tho good work
dono against adverso conditions by the dem
ocratic organizations in five boroughs.
"I believe that tho faith of the Now York

defeat, Is definitely set to a future of politi
cal reform which will nt no distant day

Rrpublli'nn Conclusion.
NEW YORK. Nov. 6. R. L. Fox. secre
Ury of the state republican committee, nt
1:30 a. ra., Issued the following statement:
hTho republicans will have a decided ma
jority In the next assembly. Reports re
ceived at republican headquarters at mid
night show that the republicans havo
elected eighty-four members In counties
outside of Greater New York, with Rock
land county and one district in, Westchester
not yet heard from. Outside of Oreater
New York the democrats have elected only
two numbers In Erie county, one In Greene,
ono in Schoharie and one In Yates. An In
dependent has been chosen In Albany
against Kelly, the regular democratic can
didate. Returns from the districts In
Greater New York indicate that the num
ber of republicans there would be greater
than It was last year."

BRIGHT KANSAS GOLD STORY
t.iilon I'nrlftc l.nnd Department lle
Ptie to Affirm or
Deny It.
D. A. McAllastcr, land commissioner of
the Union Pacific, tefuccs to either affirm
or deny a story sent out from Topeka that
his department has withdrawn from sale
nearly 0,000 acres of land In Ellis and
Trogo counties In western Kansas as a re
sult of tho recent excitement over the al
leged discoveries of gold In that section.
Tho Topeka story says that "many lead
ing chemists havo visited the region and
the great majority of them declare that
the shales along that river will produce
from $10 to $20 per ton In gold and $8 to
$10 In silver.
"Two new mills are now building in Ellis
county, and Smoky Hill City has grown to
metropolitan proportions In a month.- Five
hundred thousand dollars havo been In
vested In lands of no value for any other
purpose.
"Sh.ilo enthusiasts say that $200,000,000
can bo taken from an acre of land and that
shale lands extend fifty miles along the
river and eight rdllcs on either side. Prof.
Lovewell, a Topeka chemist, who has made
scores of successful tests, says there is
more gold In western Kansas than In all
of the gold fields of the world."
If tho land department has withdrawn
tho lands from sale no announcement to
that effect has been made and there are
good grounds for the belief that such action
has not been taken or even contemplated.
May De Water Kurolne.
The Union Pacific Is threatened with a
water famine on the seventh division, be
tween Oreen River and Evanston, says a
Cheyenne dispatch, and as a result the con
struction of large reservoirs at convenient
places along the line Is now being consid
ered. Surveys have already been made and
It Is expected work on the reservoirs will
bo commenced at once.
For nearly a year past water cars hare
been hauling a supply from the division
points to places along the line where water
wan scarce and from these cars the loco
motives received their supply.
During the last year three large reser
voirs were constructed, one at Le Roy, oao
at Carter and another at Bryan. Theso
caught and held the flood waters and when
the rains ceased In the summer they were
drawn upon by the railroad.
While this storage supply did much to
relieve the trouble, It has been found that
additional storage reservoirs must be con
structed at once so it to impound the
waters from melting snow the coming
spring. Several reservoirs will be built
along the Bear river-Lc Roy cut-off and a
large one will bo built In the mountains
back of the town of Rawlins.
Compound Engine Win.
Tho triumph of the Rio Grande Western
locomotives over those of the Denver & Rio
Grande and Midland railways, In recent
tests between Denver and Pueblo, was not
so much a triumph of tho railways or of
the crews as It was a victory of the com
pound type of locomotive over the simple
type.
Upon the conclusion of the tests President
Jeffory o'f the Denver & Rio Grande gavo an
order for forty locomotives of the compound
type, bo great was the saving shown by this
style of engine. If all the Rio Grande lo
comotives wore compound the coal bills
would be reduced $1,000,900 a year, according
to the showing made.
The tests were made under the direction of
Charles II, Quercau, assistant superintend
ent of motive power of the Denver & Rio
Grande. Mr. Quereau used a dynamo meter
car which was leased from the Chicago &
Northwestern.
Wlun the tests were completed table
were worked out showing the weight and
the amount of coal required to do a given
amount of work. The showing In favor of
the compound engines was 15 per cent.
Canadian Road Cuta In.
It Is more than probable that the com
munity of Interest lately established be
tween the Hill, Harrlmen and Santa Fe
Interests to Insu e the maintenance of trans
copttnontal rates will not bring about the
result anticipated. The Canadian Pacific
does not propose to bo counted out as n
transcontinental route, and Is said to be
preparing to give the American lines all
the fight they waut. It takes particular ex
ception to the shortening of time by Its
competitors, and. as It cannot make equally
fast time, It threatens to get even by cut
ting of rates.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT WILL ATTEND
Date Wis Set by McKlnler and His
Letter to Groom Show the
Comrntlnltlp UxIstlnK Be
tween Them.
WASHINGTON, Nov. C The most bril
liant wedding ceremony Washington has
seen In many a day will take place tomor
row at noon at tho handsome home of the
Misses Patten, on Massachusetts avenue,
when tho fourth daughter of that family of
heiresses, Miss Edyth Patten, will become
the bride of the adjutant general of the
army, General Henry C. Corbln. A prlnco
of the church will officiate and tho presi
dent of tho United States will be one of a
large company of distinguished guests.
It will be a military wedding, at which
not only General Corbln and his staff will
rear full-dress uniform, but also their
brother officers among the guests, who will
number quite 800. Colonel Oeorgo R. Dyer
will bo best man and the following ofUcers,
all members of the adjutant's department,
will serve as ushers: Lieutenant Colonels
William II, Carter, Thomas II. Barry, George
Andrews, John A. Johnston, William A.
Simpson, Henry P. McCain and Majors
Henry A. Green and James Parker.
Miss Patten, who returned last week from
a four months' visit to Paris, will have no
attendants and will be given away by Sen
ator John P. Jones of Nevada, who years
ago was associated with her father in vari
ous business enterprises on the Pacific
coast.
Romance of the Courtship.
Every clement of romance enters Into
this marriage, which Is the consummation
of a long and Interesting courtship. When
the groom began his military career thirty
nine years' ago as a volunteer In the servlcs
of the Eighty-third Ohio Infantry, his bride-to-be
was still unborn. Her parents, a
struggling young couple, were seeking their
fortune In California. Later the golden
wave of prosperity placed them on a par
with Mackay, Fatr, Sharon and other
pioneers of '49, whose children and grand
children are now conspicuous members of
smart society in Washington, New York,
Paris and London.
The father of the future Mrs. Corbln was
Edmund Patten, who died almost Imme
diately after laying the foundation of the
large fortune destined to make his children
famous. He left a widow and five daugh
ters, tho eldest Just entering her teens, the
youngest a babe in arms. With the keen
foresight which distinguishes her daughters
In all their business transactions the young
widow, whose experience In life had not ex
tended far beyond the mining camp, gath
ered up her fortune and her children and
came to the capital of her adopted coun
try, where Judicious Investments In real es
tate In the then almost unimproved region
about Dupont Circle Increased the original
fortune many times.
KducnteU In Paris.
After establishing her home (n this city
Mrs Patten went to Paris, where her chil
dren were placed in tho Convent of the
Sacred Heart to be educated. There they
grow to womanhood. Naturally clever, fond
of study, and of wonderful perception, Miss
Edyth Patten soon became a noted scholar
In this famous school, which has given
many daughters to society. She is today a
brilliant conversationalist in French, Ger
man and Italian, and an nccompllb4. mu
sician. Returning to Washington in tho eighties,
Mrs. Patten built the bpme her daughters
now occupy, but died shortly after Ita com
pletion, leaving as the head of the family
her eldest daughter, In whose name the In
vitations to Wednesday's wedding have
been issued.
General Corbln, although almost twice the
age of hie future wife, shows little sign
of advancing years, and with the possible
exception of his one superior In the serv
ice, Lieutenant General Miles, is rated by
many the handsomest man In the army.
Hie regular army career began In May,
1866, when he was appointed second lieu
tenant In the Seventeenth United States,
infantry, having been mustered out of the
volunteer service lees than two months be
fore. During the civil war he obtained
the rank of brlgadlor general, and was the
first man from the state of Ohio to ac
cept a field officer's position In a colored
regiment, the Fourteenth United States In
fantry, which ho led at Pulaski, Decatur
and Nashville.
Kindt Indian on Frontier.
After his appointment to the regular
service he served In Texas with General
Sheridan, at Jeffcrsbn Barracks, Mo., and
In Kansas and New Mexico. For ten yearn
be was on active and arduous duty on the
frontier against hostile Indians. Much of
his life was spent at various posts in Texa
and at the Columbus barracks, until the
inauguration of President Hayee.
He was Invited to accompany that first
of the trio of Ohio president to Washing
ton and was detailed for duty at the White
House. He was a closo personal friend of
President Garfield during. his short reign,
and all the world knows of the Intimacy
which knit him to the late lamented Pres
ident McKlnley.
Indeed, the one cloud In General Corbln's
present happiness is the absence of his
beloved commander-in-chief, who was the
first of the close circle of friends to be
told of his engagement.
Tresldent McKinley's autograph letter of
congratulation more than anything else
shows the comradeship which existed be
tween the president and the adjutant gen
eral. The letter follows:
Executive Mansion,
Washington, April 12, 1001.
Dear General Corbln: Mrs. McKlnley has
Just received your note Informing us of
your coming marriage to Miss Edythe Pat
ten. Wo congratulate you most heartily upon
your good fortune and wish for you both
every happiness, and will you convey to
Miss Patten Mrs. McKinley's lovo and good
wishes and my most cordial regards.
May God's blessings attend you both and
always Is the wish of your friend,
WILLIAM M'KINLEY,
McKlnley Name the Day.
Tho very wedding day was named by
Mr. McKlnley, the original selection of
the brldo being November I. When he was
fold this the late president remarked that
he hoped to vote In Canton on the morning
of November B, but ho could not think of
"the general being married without bis
presence It would not be valid." he laugh
ingly remarked, as he requested Miss Pat
ten to defer the ceremony to the 6th.
When the tragedy at Buffalo thrilled the
world General Corblu was on the Pacific
ocean, homeward bound from an official
visit to the Philippines. His first Impulse
was to abandon all the eclat of a fashion
able function and wed tho maiden of his
choice with a ceremony as simple and un
ostentatious as that of the admiral of tho
navy and his bride two years ago. Miss
Patten was still In Paris, where she Jour
neyed to procure her trousseau, but time
and space can easily be eliminated by the
cable and many a message was flashed
back and forth from Miss Patten's hotel
and the big office in the War department
Every detail of their marriage bad been
planned In the early summer, the breakfast
ordered and decorator engaged on a seal
of magnificence seldom equaled In Wash
ington. A list of nearly 1,000 well
known people, representing the cllto of the
cntlro country, had been compiled, from
which the Invitations were to be sent out
before the home-coming of the bride. By
the advice of her friends Miss Patten de
cided to carry out tho original ptan,
to which the gallant bridegroom acquiesced,
with tho result that Wednesday's ceremony
wilt serve as a curtain raiser to the social
season. .
Journey Knr for Weddlns;.
Two oceans And two continents have
been traversed since thoso June days and
although a great sorrow and a national
tragedy has confronted them, It was a
radiantly happy brldo and bridegroom who
met In New York last Saturday when the
steamer St. Paul came Into port.
The wedding tomorrow will bo the sec
ond in the Patten family, the only other
daughter to embark on mntrlmonlr! seas
having been Miss Augusta Patten, the sec
ond daughter, who some fifteen years ago
became tho wife of Mr. John M. Glover,
then a representative from the state of Mis
souri. Mrs. Glover now resides In Now
York. Tho remaining daughters arc tho
Misses Mary, Josephine and Helen Patten
of this city.
General Corbln was married for the first
time In 1S65, his wlfo ;belng Miss Frances
Strickle of Wilmington, O., who died In this
city in 1893. Three children of his mar
riage are living Mn. William Uptbcr Par
sons of New York; Miss Grace Corbln, an
Invalid, who makes her home with rela
tives In Ohio, and Mr. Rutherford Hayes
Corbln, now filling n position In the Philip
pines. General Corbln's father, Shadrach
Corbln, Is still living at tho ago of 90, bale
and vigorous. General Corbln but recently
returned from the annual visit ho never
falls to mako to his boyhood home.
Come of Colonial Stock.
Although born In Ohio, the adjutant gen
eral comes of colonial stock, his great
grandfather being the John Corbln whose
name appears as sergeant of volunteers
from Virginia In the revolutionary war.
Ills grandfather emigrated to Ohio and set
tled In Clermont county, where the tra
ditional log cabin In which the adjutant
general was born gave way, years ago, to
tho present comfortable homestead.
Upon leaving the department the adjutant
general makes a dally visit to tho new
home, now almost completed, In the north
west section of the city In the Immediate
vicinity of the new French embassy site,
which has moved the social breastworks
far to the northwest. Although of modest
exterior, the furnishings and appointments
of this home will compare favorably with
those of Its more conspicuous neighbors,
tapestries, hangings, rugs and much of the
furniture having been selected and pur
chased by the bride-elect during her so
journ In Paris.
The house will not be finished before
January, and the Interval between the re
turn from their wedding Journey and the
new year will be spent by the general and
his bride in the former's modest apart
ments on R street.
