LONDON , Sept. ! . It is believed here
that the police , by the arrests ot Cdward
Bell at Glasgow on Saturday , J. Wallace and
John F. Kearney at Rotterdam and P. J.
If T. Tynan , ( "No. 1" at Boulogne-sur-Mcr ,
| t Franco , have nipped a widespread dynamite
plot In the bud.
At Rotterdam , In addition to arresting
Wallace and Kearney , the police captured a
number of Infernal machines and a quantity
of correspondence which Is said to Incrimi
nate a number of people and which may re
svlt In further arrests In the near future.
Bell was arraigned at the central police
court today and after the usual formalities
had been gene through with , the prisoner
was remanded until Wednesday next. The
alleged djnamltcr , who seemed cool nnd un
concerned , was handcuffed while In court
nnd guarded by two especially detailed po
Ilcomcn.
Boll is about 28 years of age , of medium
build , slim , clean-shaven and of sallow
completion. Ho were a soft bat and
was otherwise dressed as an American
gentleman. The people at the hotel where
Bell had stopped say that he was always
tclf-absorbcd and paid little attention to his
follow guctts Ills peculiar manner made
an unfavorable Impression upon the propri
etors of the hotel , but In splto of this , they
say they h.ivo no complaint to make regard
ing his behavior , and the at rest ot their
guest was a sin prise to them
The prlhoner has very little to. say about
his being taken Into custody. The only In
formation which he has thus far vouchsafed ,
Is that he Is not a British subject. Bell'b
papers and other pioperty arc In the hands
of the police , who It Is said , have been shad-
o'Vlng him since his arrival at Glasgow ,
The police attach the utmost Importance
t the aritsts made and are observing the
greatest rotlcenco on the subject. It ap
pears , however , that the police officials
nnvo been cognizant for some time past of
the existence of a fresh dynamite conspiracy
and there Is no reasonable doubt that the
4Jnforimtlon In the possession of the Scotland
Yard authorities Is of the utmost serious
character , although It Is difficult to obtain
definite facts nt present.
PRISONER TURNS INFORMER.
The Globe , which lias close lelatlons with
the government , In a long leading editorial
article this afternoon. Intimates that the
arrests were made on information received
from one of thu icccntly released Iilsli polit
ical prisoners. It Is added that this man has
also furnlfcbcd the authorities with valuable
evidence In relation to the Clan-na-Gael , and
it Is further stated that the government re
cently reloaded several prisoners so as not
to furnish an extra clew to the bourco of Its
information
One of the most notorious Fenian leaders.
It Is also said , arrived In Great Britain from
tbe United States several months ago and the
Globe nt that time published an aiticlo
about his presence , pointing out that there
was a general revival of runlanlsm In prog-
, ress. As a result of these disclosures , the
Globe claims , the Fenian leader alluded to
hastily returned to the United States.
Incidentally It was the Globe which first
proclaimed the Identity of the second man
arrested at Rotterdam as being John r
Kearney of Now York , who Is charged with
having been concerned In blowing up the
Glasgow gas works In 1892 , a deed for which
Terence McDermott and others are now serv
ing sentences of Imprisonment for life In
Portland prison. Keaincy escaped to New-
York and it was said at the time- that his
escape was winked at by the authorities. It
Is further alleged that It was Kearnuy who ,
under the pretense of friendship , led Phelan
Into the trap when Short , the butcher , nearly
stabbed Phelan ot Kansas City to death In
O'Donnovun Rossa's office In Chambers
street , Now York , Kearney may now be
charged with tbo Glasgow outrage us well as
with participating In the alleged present
movement.
A dispatch from Boulogne-sur-Mcr , to the
Associated press says that Tynan was ar
raigned there this morning before the dep
uty police prosecutor. Tlys proceedings were
confined to furnishing evidence of the ar
rest and the establishment of the Identity
ot the prlsonor , which the lotted fully ad
mitted. The Scotland Yard detectives were
present at these formilltles and , eventually ,
p * the prisoner was remanded and taken to the
town Jail , while awaiting the arrival from
London of the documents necessary to
bring about his extradition.
Tynan , who seems to have no Idea that
ho was shadowed by English detectives from
the moment ho landed In Europe , feels his
position keenly. He told his captors ho
know that capital punishment awaited him
1' ho was handed over to the representatives
of the British government. It appears
that Tynan during bis continental tour
passed himself as a queen's messenger , or
royal courier , and claimed that Bell , who
was traveling with him , was his secretary
Tynan assorted that they were cnroule to
Copenhagen with un autograph letter from
Queen Victoria.
HAD PLENTY OF FUNDS.
During his stay at Boulgno-sur-Mer ,
Tjnan showed every evidence of being In
possession of plenty of money nnd of hav
ing largo funds to draw upon. Ho lived
well and his staple beverage was cham
pagne , according to one account of the affair
The Globe's advices from Boulogne-sur-
Mor say that Tynan's dlsgulso was almost
complete ) . Ho had shaved off his beard and
had otherwise changed his appearance. The
Olobo correspondent adds ; "I knew him at
Kingston In 1889 , and saw him at New
York In 1894. Ho Is now minus his whis
kers and his moustache Is horribly painted
black. He Is attired In n light tweed suit ,
distinctly loud , and llko all Irishmen of his
kind. It was his tendency to brag aloud ,
which led to his arrest.
"It wiia at first thought that Tynan was
connected with the going to Paris ot anar
chists who contemplated an upheaval vvhllo
the czar Is In Paris. Bell , further particulars
how , also had plenty of money In his pock
ets when arrested , but no explosives were
found in bis room. At his hotel , Bell do-
jcrlhed himself us an American tourist ; ho
looked the part to perfection.
The police of Glasgow received a telegram
from Scotland Yard liibtructlng them to fol
low Bell every where , and In consequence a
close watch was sent over him Tour hours
later Bell , the police reported , received a
telegram from Tynan giving the latter's ad
dress and the address of other man taken
Into custody. When Bell was arnsted he
reasserted that ho was on American tourist ,
The papers found upon Bt'll Include docu-
incuts relative to the three other men In
the hands of the police on ( he charge which
led to his arrest.
The Scotland Yard man In an Interview
publicUed In the Sun this afternoon said the
authorities for many months have been
aware- that a number of the most reckless
and desperate dynamiters in the Untcd
State * had been contemplating a raid on
English centers , particularly on London ,
Therefore , the official added , vigilance was
renewed , both In Great Britain and In
America. Several of the alleged conrplra-
tors succeeded In evading the detectives and
reached different parts of Europe. They
were , It it claimed , provided with an abund
ance of money , and lived luxuriously nt
hotel * on the continent. They did not make
an effort to dlsgulso the character ot their
mission. According to the Scotland Yaid
men Tynan has been at Bologne-iur-Mer
for moro than a week end was almost con-
, , , statitly drunk and boasting nf tbe rerengo
be would vrtak when his plans were per
fected.
Cfho ScotUaa Yard official referred to was
unable to Kay whether the prisoners would
bo brought to England , as the offense , of
purchasing explosives was committed outside -
side of the British empire.
PLOTTED AGAINST THE CZAR.
A later dispatch to the Associated press
savs that from Information In the possession
of police of the city there Is a strong sus
picion that the conspirators were planning
an outbreak to occur while the crar and
czarina vlultcd the queen at Balmoral. U
Is added that all the suspects are known
to have purchased materials for the manu
facture of bombs.
Bell Is also alleged to have been drinking
heavily. Ho Is reported to be most nervous
now and to be constantly calling for whisky.
He Is being attended by a physician ,
A dispatch to the Associated press from
Antwerp stales that the two Irish Fenians
said to bo naturalized American citizens
arrived there three weeks ago and rented
a house In the suburb of Berchen. On Sat
urday , the dispatch continues , the English
detectives who had been watching them
since their arrival to Antwerp , their de
parture from the United States having been
telegraphed to the British authorities , the
house was surrounded by Belgian police.
But when the building was entered It wan
found that Its occupants were gone A
laboratory , however , was discovered , fully
fitted with appliances and materials for the
manufacture of bombs and explosives.
The dispatch also Intimates that one of
thcso men has already served a term of ten
3 ears Imprisonment for complicity In dyna
mite outiages. The Scotland Yard authori
ties bellovo that the men referred to In the
Antwerp dispatch are tne two persons ar
rested at Rotterdam , and Incidentally , It Is
now alleged that the men arrested at Rot
terdam are Kearney and Hlnes and not Wal
lace.
Dlspatchca received by the Associated
Press from Brussels today say that informa
tion obtained there from reliable sources In
dicates that the dynamiters whose laboratory
was discovered at Antwerp were not Fenians
but anacblsts whoso aim was dlrectci
against the czar and It Is known that the
police of Antwerp were Informed by the
Scotland Yard authorities that a plot was
In preparation to attempt to assassinate the
czar , hence the discovery of the bomb lab
oratory at Antwerp. Many bombs , It appears
had already been made , and the police know
that one ot the conspirators , who Is believer
to have fled to Brcslau , has several Inferna'
machines with him. A later dispatch from
Rotterdam to the Associated press reports
that the men arrested there were In bci
when detectives entered their room. Many
Infernal machines were found In their pos
session together with n quantity of corre
spondence In cipher , a key to which has been
discovered. The correspondence was rcat
and It is said to have been plans for dynn-
mlto outrages Including an attempt upon the
Ufa of Qteen Victoria.
PLANS OF THE PLOTTERS.
A semi-official communication upon the
subject of the recent an eats of alleged dy
namite conspirators was Issued this after
noon. It sajs : "There has been within the
full knowledge of the Scotland Yard offi
lals for some time past a gang of dcspera
docs busily engaged In America In prepar
ing the ramifications for an extensiveam
diabolical plot to perpetrate a dynamite
outrage In this country and establish a
reign of terror. Chief Inspector Melville
who has played so prominent a part in
tracing and arresting Fenians , has been the
head of the Scotland Yard arrangements
for checkmating the present plans of the
conspirators. Gradually and quietly a complete
pleto network was drawn around the plot
ters , and the fact being known that thej
were In Intlmato communication with Hus
& ! an nihilists In the United States cnablei
the police to pursue , Investigate and dls
cover what Is believed to be absolute evl
dence that one of the most recent developments
monts of the scheme aimed at an outrage
on the czar on the occasion of his visit to
England. The prime- movers were Fenians
In America , and when the plot had been
carried as far as possible there , Tynan nnd
their chief agents were dispatched to Eu
rope to consummate tbe designs adopted
Every precaution was taken In shipping
them separately and by dlfforent routes
The emissaries of Scotland Yard , however
dogged their every movement.
"Tho police hero now admit that the- man
arrested at Rotterdam , whose name was
first given as Wallace , Is , In fact , John F
Kearney of New York. Edward Bell , when
arrested at Glasgow , had 1GO In his purse
In connection with the arrest of Tynan at
Boulogne , this man's relatives are being
shadowed at Kingston. "
The Boml-ofllclal communication then deals
with the arrests and capture of all the ap
pliances , rtocurrents , etc. and continued. "II
was arranged that Bell should go to Glasgow
to superintend a series of outrages In Scot
land , the explosives necessary being sent
fr'om Belgium as required. Bell had In his
pockets between 300 and 400 ( $1,500 and
$2,000) ) and American letters of credit. Do-
vaney , McCulloch and .McCand , three re
leased dynamiters who are now In Glasgow ,
have all tyecn closely shadowed slnco they
were released from prison. In 1895 McCand
visited America. It Is considered probable
that Bell will soon bo removed from Glasgow
to London.
COMPLAINS OF THE PARDONS.
The Times this morning publishes a long
letter from H. II. Howorth , complaining of
the release of the Irish political prisoners
He points out that statistics show that
mortality In ' lunacy of prisons Is less than
people outs'ldo of them and asks "Is the
madness real or feigned ? " Continuing ho
sa > s : "As n newspaper openly said , the case
Is the Hibernians are acting. "
The home secretary will allow that It Is
unwise to let a vv lid , Irish screech go from
ono end of the land to the other about the
Inhumanity of English Justice and It Is un
wise to er.courago the outraged feeling of
Americans toward Great Britain on the
ground that we treat our prisoners with bar
barity. In conclusion Mr. Howorth asks the
government to make a plain statement of
facts relative to the release of the Irish polit
ical urlsoners.
A dispatch from Brussels to the Associ
ated press shows that there was a woman
connected with the arrested conspirators
The house at Bcrchcm , the suburb of Ant
werp , vv'hcro the police found a laboratory
fitted with materials and appliances for the
manufacture of bombs and explosives , was
hired by a woman and the pollco are now
searching for her.
The pollco also found finger and foot Ira-
prints upon the clay usrd by the bomb mak
ers In fashioning the molds for the bombs ,
It Is believed that this fact will serve to
Identify the men who rented the house and
connect the right person with this feature
of tlio great conspiracy.
wr.vi.nu SAYS uu nin NOT SAY so.

ment contained In a Madrid dispatch , cir
culated by the United Press , to the effect
that ho ( General Wcjlcr ) has cabled to

LONDON , Sept. 14. ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) My own di
rect Information from authoritative sources
In Spain would show that the statement pub
llshed hero from Washington today , crcdltetl
to the Herald , that the Spanish government
agrees to the arraignment before a civil
court of the Americans captured on board
the Competitor , Is quite wrong. Spain , In
fact , has notified our State department thai
the supreme court of naval appeals has
quashed the Cuban sentence of the Compctt
tor prisoners , and sent the alleged offenders
for n new trial at Havana before an ordi
nary naval court martial. Moreover , corrc
spondcnco Is still being exchanged between
the two governments , Secretary Olnry ob
jecting to the second indictment of the men
captured on the Competitor and already
tried as likely to end In severe sentences
on the second trial. The Spanish govern
ment Is vigorously gathering evidence to
make claims for damages similar to the Ala
bama claims from the United States.
The World representative had an Inter
view tonight with a Scotland Yard official
Intimately connected with the unraveling
of the latest dynamite plot , who could nol
permit the publication ot his name. He
said :
TYNAN GAVE HIMSELF AWAY.
"Tynan and his accomplices were at our
mercy from the Instant they landed In Eu
rope. We had full Information from New
York of nil their projects before they
started. But even had we not been fore
warned Tynan's proceedings on the con
tinent would have attracted suspicion. Ho
was very flush with money and very fond o :
champagne , with the result that wherever
ho met any English speaking person he
Indulged In violent abuse of England and
dark hints of his deadly mission , together
with thinly \elled allusions to his own
Identity. He and Boll , who has been ar
rested In Glasgow , spent a week In Paris
consoitlng openly with all known Fenlar
extremists there , whom they entertained it :
regal stjle , never displaying the least sus
picion of being watched , so the work of our
officers In shadowing them was mere child's
play. Bell was mote reserved than Tynan
whoso swagger ho tried to restrain , Bel
Is a typical fanatic , but Tynan Impressec
our men as being what they call a 'bounder.
Just fancy , when Boll was In Glasgow he
cot responded In the ordinary way through
the post with Tynan on the continent. These
letters "were , of couise , at the mercy of the
British authorities , who thus obtained ful"
Information of the progress of the conspiracy
"Tynan has been arrested formally on a
warrant issued against him In 1882 for com
plicity In the Phoenix park murder conspi
racy , but this is a mere temporary expe
dient , as another warrant has now been
Issued by the English government on the
charge of conspiring to cause dynamite ex
plosions In this country , and application for
extradition will bo made on the latter war
rant.
EXPECTS AMERICAN JNTERVENTION.
"Wo anticipate the extradition proceedings
will be prolonged as the United States gov
ernment Is certain to interview all the
men arrested claiming American citizenship
In fact , Tynan has already applied for pro
tection to the American ambassador at Paris
Our belief Is that extradition will be grantee !
and Tynan will be tiled In this country , not
for the Pheonlx park crime , but on the
specific charges on which extradition Is
granted. I know there are apparently con
siderable legal obstacles to securing his
extradition , but our government officials are
confident of overcoming them.
"The disclosure of the arrests made was
rather premature , resulting In the fiustra-
tlng of our plai.s for seizing the fifth man
who took charge of the laboratory of ex
plosives near Antwerp In the absence of
Kearney and Halnes at Rotterdam. They
went to Rotteidam to meet two more ac
complices , expected from New York , who
will also bo secured by us on their arrival
If they possess any Incriminating document *
or materials with them. Wo ha\e no evi
dence whatever supporting the theory
started In the press of these men
having a plot against the
czar. The object of the conspirators was
simply to repeat the explosions of 1882-3 In
England , In the hope of causing the loss of
llfo and tcriorl lng the public mind. If
Tynan Is extradited I can promise you a
most sensational trial , Involving revelations
concerning supporters of the extreme policy
who have never before been suspected.
Bell will. In any case , bo brought to trial ,
but if the other three men are sent over
from the continent , all four will bo ar
raigned at Old Bailey , London , together. "
SENSATION IN ENGLAND INTENSE.
The sensation caused In England by these
arrests Is Intense and universal. It has
revived much of the former anti-Irish feelIng -
Ing among the masses , which had been slum
bering during the last few years. Polit
ically , this new development It Is held will
be most awkward for the Redmonites , who
have been playing assiduously to the violent
section of the Fenians , and must now either
denounce them or forfeit the suppoit of the
tory-unlonlst party. Throughout Ireland the
disclosure of the new dynamite plot has oc
casioned utter amazement , as such methods
were believed to be a thing of the past.

NEW YORK , Sept. 14. A special to the
Herald from Washington says : The Spanish
government has yielded to tbe demands of
the United States for a trial by a civil court
of the Competitor prisoners. Formal an
nouncement is expected by the next mall
from Minister Taylor In Madrid.
Secretary Olney has Insisted from the
first that the men were Irregularly tried , and
In violation of express treaty stipulations ,
Ilo requested a rctrlal , not by way of favor ,
but as a matter of right , and In answer to
Inquiries from members of the senate com
mittee on foreign relations , he emphatically
stated that the administration would never
submit to the carrying out of the sentence
of the summary court martial ,
U Is a matter of considerable relief to tin
authorities here to know that Spain has
found It expedient to comply with tbe de
mands of the United States In regard to
these men. For some time past It has been
considered ono ot the- most troublesome
questions lu dlsputo between the two
countries.
It Is understood that this action will be
a Great disappointment to Captain General
U'tjlcr and other Spaniards , who were
anxious for the execution of the men as an
example for others engaged In filibustering ,
but It Is hoped that time has served to allay
the bitter feeling which existed In Spanish
quarters when the men were captured. It
was stated thru that Captain General
Wojlor would resign If the Madrid author- !

mutt martial which he approved. ,

CONSPIRACY A WIUESlUmAn OXI3.
London Times IIolIevoN the Irreeoii-
ellulilex Are Irreeoncllnhlu .Still.
LONDON , Sept. 15. The Times has an
editorial this morning coiiiint'iiUnfj at lengthen
on the arrest at Boulogne , ' , Glasgow , and
Rotterdam of persons suspected of complicity
In a dynamite plot in the course of which It
says : "Unless the police have commluGc
a succession of incredible blunders we are
In tbe presence of a conspiracy of tlie same
type as that for which Dr. Gallagher was
sentenced. As we have all along contended ,
the irreconcllables are Irreconcilable still
and still remain murderous enough In their
Intent and strong enough In numbeds to
organize and pay for complicated and costly
conspiracies against Great Britain.
"The lessons to be drawn arc plain
enough , and the nation may be left to ilr.iv ,
them for Itself at the moment John Daly Is
enjoying triumphant receptions from his
fellow epuntrj'men. ' Dr. Speu e Watson
president of the Society of the Friends ol
Russian Freedom , discredits the notion ol
that fenlan and nihilist alliance. On the
whole , we arc Inclined to agree with him.
Our Brussels correspondent hears that the
Antwerp bomb factory has cosmopolitan
alms , but there does not appear much evi
dence to support this view. "
The Chronicle , In Its editorial on the sub
ject , points out that the new conspiracy has
no root In Ireland and It Is not even sug
gested by the police that the persons ar
rested have any connection with any organ
Izatlon , open or secret. "The plot has been
hatched , " continues tbo Chronicle , "In the
drinking saloons of New York , and so openly
and carelessly that every detail was known
to the pollco from the Inception of the
scheme. They might as well have pro
claimed the plot from tha housetops. It Is
all very strange and we want moro light. '
A Brussels dispatch to the Chronicle says
Two thousand pounds sterling was found
upon the persons arrested at Rerchem ( the
suburb of Antwerp where the dynamite
factory was situated ) . The pollco suspect
fifteen other persons In various European
capitals of complicity with the Berchem
factory.
"Later Information points to an attempt
upon the life of the czar having been
planned at Breslau , "
The correspondent of the Chronicle * at
Paris says in a dispatch to the paper ;
"Tynan has been a familiar figure hero off
and on for a decade. I have seen him re
peatedly , and I canno ( bring myself to

CONSTANTINOPLE , Sept. 13. ( Via
Sofia , Hulgarla , Sept. 14. ) There Is little
or no change In the political situation here
and It Is believed that the powers \\lll not
take action Immediately In the case o
Sultan Abdul Humid , a great deal depend
Ing upon the result of the czar's approaching
visit to Balmoral.
According to the palace officials , the
audience \\hlch Sir Philip Currle , the
Urltlsh ambassador , had with the sultan on
Friday last , resulted In convincing his
majesty that the feeling ngalnst him li
Grewt Britain Is much more Intense than hoer
or his advisers have realized , and Itas
Intimated to him that Great Britain , It
certain eventualities , might ho compelled to
take action , Independent of other powers , li
prov eating further disturbances here.
In spite of this assurance , It Is noticeable
that there Is a renewal of serious anxlctj
among tha foreign portion of the population
that another outbreak will occur at a not
distant date.
The British vessels carrying Armenian
refugcts are guarded by the British warship
Dryad while In these waters , In order to
prevent the arrest of their passengers bj
the Turkish authorities. The Drjad'a com
mander has received explicit Instructions
from the British ambassador to resist anj
Interference with the rights of Brltlsli
vessels on the high seas.
The lequesi of the Roumanian authorities
to permit Armenian refugees to land In
Roumanla has created a very bad Impression
In European circles , and may lead to serious
complications later on.
The Joint commission of Europeans and
Turks appointed to Inquire Into the rcccat
massacres and their origin held Its prelimi
nary meeting on Saturday , but the fact that
most of the Armenians who could furnish
the necessary evidence to place blame
where It belongs have been killed , Impiis-
oned or banished , leaves the commission little -
tlo else to work upon than the Turkish
police ofllclcls , whose evidence literally
amounts to nothing at all. But the work
of the commission , happily , has been fore
stalled by the embassies , where all the evi
dence necessary to conclusively prove that
the massacres were offlclally planned and
authorized from the palace has been col
lected and submitted to the governments of
the six powers
It Is stated that the Softas had planned
a manifestation In the vicinity of thp Ylldlr
palace upon the occasion of the Selamnlk.
A number of Mussulmans , It Is added , have
been arrested In consequence. The pre
cautions adopted to guard the pilaco against
attack were greatly Increased In consequence
but no manifestation occurred.

ion In u I'll in n UN I. nnil .Suit.
ST. PAUL , Sept. 14. Judge Sanborn o
the United States circuit court of appeals
today filed a number of opinions , the mos
Important being the Hartman , or famous
Section 30 case , a suit Involving very vnlua
bio Minnesota mineral lands. The case was
an appeal from a decree sustaining a de
murrer to a bill In equity and dismissing
the bill. Emit Hartman , appellant , sued
James II. Warran and others holding title
to part of the famous section 30. alleging
that title granted Warran by the Unltet
States , December 11 1894 , was through er
ror of law by the Land department officials
and that such title should ha\o been given
to Hartman. AVarran's title , entered In
ISSfi , was based on his claim of mixed In
dian parentage , which entitles him to eighty
acres under the provisions of the treaty ol
1ST4. Hartman applied to the Dilluth lam1
office In 1SS9 to enter this land with Porter-
field warrants Issued under act of congress
and approved April 11 , I860. The applica
tion was rejected and Hartman appealed to
the United States land commissioner , who
upheld his bllboidlimtes nud dismissed the
application to contest The secretary of the
Interior rc\ersed the decision In so far that
he ordered the local land officers to Investi
gate Hartman's case further. This was done
and the decision was adveise and , the sec
retary of the Interior approving such deci
sion , Hartman appealed to the courts and
the appellate court today sustained tinWar -
ran title , holding that the Indian scrip had
been offered and the land entered with II
prior to Hartman's application for It , ami
that the question of priority settled the
whole case. The famous section 30 has been
fought over for several years and contains
some of the most valuable iron ore In the
.world.

AUGUSTA , Me. , Sept. 14. Maine has fol
lowed the example of Vermont , and de
clared for the republican ticket by the
largest majority In Its history. According
to the latest returns tonight , the plurality

ociats wlir apparently liiuu less than halt
a dozen of representative In the house
and not one In the senate. As anticipated ,
the republicans polkd a tremendous vote
and secured many democratic ballots. On
the other hand , many dissatisfied democrats
remained at home and only a few \utcd for
the nominee of the gold standard wing. The
populists and the prohibitionists ) ba\o
been received fiom only a few towns , but
Is Is evident that neither party polled aa
large aote as two years ago.
Secretary Bean of the demociatlo
state central committee concedes tha
election of the republican ticket

From early morning It looked aa If rain
would fall , but It did not , and about 4
o'clock the sun came out bright and every- ,
whnro at the polls the organization of the re
publicans was evident In the activity they
llspla > cd In getting out a full vote at the
earliest possible hout. Scores of hacks and
carriages were In commission to carry tha
old and lame voters to thu polling places
and many persons from other states also
came homo to vote.
Thu democratic organisation was nearly
as good. There were only n few local con-
csts to arotiso factional feuds , and order
was preserved at the polls throughout tha
state without difficulty.
The campaign was the most Interesting
ilalno has seen In twenty years , If ever la
icr history , H has presented the unl'iua
'eaturo of son arrajed against father , In
ho caeu of Hon. Harold Sevvall of Bath , who
ook the , stump to argue against the prin
ciples of Hon Arthur Sowall the democratlo
nominee for vice president. But In all the
strlfn and contention the contest was re
narkably fieo from personalities.
The most effective work was done from
.ho stump , and never did a more formidable
array of campaign orators expound lopub-
Ican doctrine In a Now England stato. But
.be struggle was not entirely ono-slded.
With Internal dissensions and a lack of funds
n contend with the democrats madu a very
trong fight , especially In tbo cities. Can
didate Frank did good work on the stump ,
md while the speakers generally from out-
Ido of the state were not orators of great
a mo their work was productive of tfoma
good results. l (
In thu last two weeks the gold democrats
ook a hand In the struggle and several of
heir leaders addressed largo audlc-neca In
he clllps , but the returns tonight Indicate *
hat the principal effect of their participation
n the campaign was to strengthen the re
publican ranks. If the names of the nom-
ices of the gold democrats had been on tbo
Iclcet. however. It Is believed a very good
bowing would liavo been made. Candidate
latoman was the main strength of the pop-
ullsta In tlielr canvass. hlH efforts being
mainly devoted to Keeping the members of
its party who favored free silver out of thu
emocratlc ranks. Ilia opposition hu boon ,
mued on th candidacy of Mr. Sowall for
rlco president , which ho maintains U Incon-
Utcnt , ami Ills objections to tbo democratlo
Icket on tlut account have been most stren
uous. The figures at hand tonight Indicate
hat there- has been some decrease In tb
populUt voto. U U believed that sonic of

itrcngth. The prohibitionists conducted
