the following statement of the position of
the state committee upon .he results of the
election:
After having carefully examined the re
turns gathered by John A. Mason, secre
tary of th democratic committee, as tiled
in the several cojnty clerks' offices In the
different counties of the state. It appears
on the face of the returns that Mr. Odcll
has a plurality of 9.122. These nnure do
not Include n some of the counties the
vote cart by the Greater New York democ
racy ticket, which has on it the name of
Wrd 8. l.'oler for governor. This will ma
terially reduce this apparent plurality.
We claim the election by a safe majority
of John Cuneen as attorney general and the
rw.triinn of John Clinton Gray of the
, cnurx o ioii. i

others will be thoroughly investigated by
representatives of the party, who will ap
pear before the canvassing boards In all
the counties of tho state on next Tuesday
to see that an honest count Is had: and
until that time the actual results cannot
be stated.
Mr. Campbell would add nothing to the

legislature heavily republican on Joint bal
lot. It-la declared by leading democrats
that If this course la adopted by the repub
licans the democratic senate will block the
election of a senator to succeed Senator
Teller. Republicans, however, say this
would be Impossible.

WASHINGTON. Nov. . Cuba not having
returned the draft of the treaty proposed
by the In 1 ted States, officials here are
officially Ignorant of the nature of the
changes the Cubans desire.
Of course they arc known to be connected
with tCe Increase of the rebate to be al

tion may he willing to yield slightly on '
this point if do unseasonable delay ia ex

Th rebate proposed in the original con
vention Is 20 per cent and it la gathered
that the Cubana want CO per cent. This
rate cannot be allowed in view of the
belief that congress would certainly not
sanction such a cut In duties, but between
these figures there is ao wide a margin
that there ts room for compromise.
The coaling station matter is. for tho
time being held In abeyance. The 1,000
tons of coal belonging to the I'nlted States
navy now lying In a warehouse at Trla
cornia is being diminished according to
the needs of the navy In gulf waters, so
that the Cuban complaint of the existence
of an American naval station In Havana
harbor Is adjusting Itself without friction
and. Indeed, It Is said the matter haa not
been officially mentioned lately.
LOOKS BAD FOR MASON
Police Think They Can Prove He
Pawned Two "Watches Both Be
longed to M ordered Woman.
BOSTON, Nor. (.Tonight's developments
in the case of Alan G. Mason, who Is
charged with the murder of Miss Clara Nor
ton, a laundress at the McLean asylum In
Waverly, last Saturday night, have been of
a startling nature.
It was announced first that the victim's
watch had been found In a Cambridge
street pawnshop, where It had been pawned
for )4 by a young eolored man, and this
discovery at once led to a general search
for this man, but without developments.
Later, when the pawnbroker's memory
had been Jogged a little, he remembered
that the watch had been brought to his
office on Saturday night between 11 and
11:30 by a white man and offered In pawn.
Owing to the fact that It waa after busi
ness hours he refused to receive It and the
man departed, taking the watch with him.
On Monday morning the same watch waa
brought In by a colored man about 21 years
of age and the pawnbroker bought It for
$4. A burly negro, evidently a companion
of the other, bad been waiting outside the
shop while tha trade waa being made and
-aw e-waa so pseso bo entered aw
took the money which the proprietor had
passed over. Both men then departed.
Continuing their investigation the o di
cers .made another startling discovery
which will have an important bearing on
the case. .Miss Agnea McPhee'a watch, a
Somervllle "Jack the slugger" victim, was
pawned at the aame shop on October 3, the
day after .her murder by a white man whoae
description tallies exactly with that of the
man who brought the Morton watch to the
pawnbroker last Saturday night.
The descriptions of these men is said to
agree In a atriking manner with that of
Mason, and the pawnbroker will be given a
chance tomorrow to Identify him.
The unexpected development today haa
been most unfavorable to the prisoner, al
though hla friends still claim that he can
fully establish an alibi.
Search for the mysterious colored man
Is being carried on as vigorously as ever
and all aectlona of the city are being
closely watched by the police tonight.
Two daya ago the state police arrested
A. G. Maaon, a wealthy business and club
man of Boston on suspicion of having
killed Miss Morton. After a day's Investi
gation they were convinced that Mason
could establish an alibi, but during the suc
ceeding night witnesses were found who
positively Identified him aa one whom they
had aeen In Waverly, where the murder
waa committed on Saturday. On the
strength of the evidence yesterday a war
rant charging him with murder was Issued
and he ia held without ball until Tuesday.

recently as to the correctness of the design
of the coat of arms as displayed on the

The State department produced an au
thentic copy tf the arms showing seven
white and six red atrlpea in the ahieU.
while the Navy department's flag had aeven
red stripes and alx white onea. The matter
was referred to the president, but he sent
It back to the department for declaton.
While Acting Secretary Darling haa not
formally decided the matter, he Intenda to

8erenty-four counties complete, Including

CHICAGO, Nov. . The Interstate Com
merce commission began a two daya' ses
sion Id thla city today with M. A. Knapp.
J. D. Yeomans. C. A. Perry and J. W. Flfer
present.
In the caee of the Chicago Live Stork
assoclatlou sgslnst tho eighteen railroads
charging discrimination in rates. Mr. Tom
llnson, secretary of the live stock asso
ciation outlined hla charges against the
railroad.
Tha schedule, he said, discriminated
against shippers in Minnesota, Iowa, Wis
consin and Missouri, as well aa live atock
dealers in Chicago, and enabled the stock
man in Nebraska to market his products
at leea cost than the stock man of those
states. The achedule favored Kansas City
against Chicago aa a live stock market.
All Kates are I nrensonnble.
A. C. Bird, third vice president of the
St. Paul road, was the first witness of Im
portance, and when asked If he desired to
defend the reasonablenesa of the St. Paul't
live atock rates he declared that they were
not reasonable.
"Not only are our live stock ratea un
reasonable," he declared, "but all out
freight ratea are unreasonable because the
are entirely too low to compensate for the
service rendered. All freight rates should
be raised and I am surprised '.hat the rail
roads do not make a combined effort to
raise them."
This statement surprised the commission
and Mr. Bird waa asked, his reasons.
He replied that tt waa Unfair to take the
past two yeara as a basta from which to
judge ratea and the fairness of the remun
eration derived by railroads, for during
that period the volume of trafflo had greatly
increased, whereas before railroading had
cot, aa a general proposition, been remun
erative. .
With respect to cattle rates, Mr. Bird as
serted that cattle did not now, and had not
for years, paid their Just proportion of
transportation charge and that to further
reduce the ratea on cattle would be to make
bad4 altuaHon worre-., .. . .
When asked what gorercfd tha scientific
making of ratea, he replied that he had not
seen the time in twenty-five years when
rates could be made on a scientific basis.
On the contrary,- they were always baaed
upon competition, comparison and compro
mise. Mr. Bird explained he bad always deemrd
It wise policy to make aa low a rate on raw
material aa on the finished product, but that
when a rate on the latter which waa not
remunerative was forced upon tha roads he
did not believe In forcing down the live
stock rates to maintain the relation.
Railroad Claims to be Fair.
The State Railroad company of Minnesota
was granted leave to file an Intervening
petition In which they set up that the
present relative rates between live stock
and dressed beef and packing houae prod
ucts were fair and equitable and should
not be disturbed.
The case against the Santa Fe was dis
missed at the request of the live stock as
sociation, as it developed that the road
had recently reduced Ha rate on live
atock from 33 to 12 cents from Missouri
river points.
The forenoon session waa devoted to
the case of the Proprietary Medicine com
pany of America against the New York
Central.
In thia case tt waa charged that the
railroad discriminated against patent med
icines advertising, charging more to ship
almanacs and proprietary printed matter
than for advertising matter of other con
cerns. C. E. Gill, chairman of tha official rata
classification board, of New York City testi
fied today. He aald agricultural products
paid the largest percentage of freight ratea
of any commodities the railroads trans
ported and further the freight ratea on
wheat, corn and potatoes are 60 per cent
of their value.
