' WASHINGTON, Nov. 4-Tho election which take place In sixteen states to morrow may develop aome Indication of possible tendencies In the national cam paign of nest year. The fact that con test affecting the national congress are promised In hut a few Instances may have little influence on votes, but the more astute political fort-casters expect to find om sign which will be significant If not determinative. There are tn general state flections, the keenest Interest felt centers In the local combats In New fork City. Cleveland, Ban Francisco and Bait Lake City. In Now York the struggle between Tam many and the fusion ticket la regarded of Vast significance, and most of the wagers, few and small at beat, turn tipon the out coma In that contest. Noxt to the New York battle In popular Interest comes the municipal contest In Cleveland, O.. Beth Mr. Burton and Mr. Johnson are well known here. tho farmer being a member and the latter a former member of the houso of representatives, and the Interest Is personal as well as political. Bait Lake City receives attention because of the prominence of the Mormon question and Ban Francisco on account of recent occurrences In connection with the admin istration of th affairs of that city. . GoTrmon to Be Elected. In Massachusetts, Maryland. Mississippi, Rhode Island. Kentucky and New Jersey governors will be chosen and In- all of . them except New Jersey, full state tickets. In Virginia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Nebraska the elections will bo for Inferior tate offices and for members of the legis lature or county offices. " In Maryland and Virginia the con tests assume a somewhat more general aspect tlmn In most others because the elections will have a direct influence upon congress. The election In Maryland will rover not only all the state offices, but a legislative ticket, which will be called upon to select a abort-torm United States sen ator to 111 put ,tlie, unexpired term of the lxtv Senator Gorman and a long-terra sen ator will begin In 190R, when the term for which Mr. Gorman was elected will expire. The Virginia election was designed origi nally to fill only county offices and elect members of the legislature, but the death of Representative Blxey necessitates choos ing his successor. The election to till the vacancy caused by the. death of Repre aentatlve Slemp will not occur until De cember 17. Mr. Blemp was the only repub lican member of the Virginia congressional delegation. In all cases the results will be carefully ounded here for signs of changes which may possibly bear on the more Important general conflict of The weather bureau's forecast of the weather on election day Is Issued today as follows: Fair weather Is Indicated for Tuesday generally over the country except In New Kcgland.

Tonight he closes tho campaign with an address at Osceola. GRAND ISLAND. Neb.. Nov. 4.-Spe-clal. Th campaign here has been a very quiet one. The fight has been for the effloea of county assessor, treasurer and clerk of the district court. Roth parties have good, clean men and It has largely been a still hunt between them for the tectlon. The. muln contest In the last week has been one on the democratic side to secure votes at the Soldiers' home and harvest some results from the action of the State Hoard of Public Lands and Build ings In attacking so many of the pensions ut members. The democratic papers have urged the members of the home strongly to vote against the republican county ticket aa a rebuko to the state officers and they have been aided materially by some of the democratic and a few socialist mem bers of the home. The opposition press, however, has pointed out the purpose. It Is believed not without some effect, by going back only eleven months and showing that this same democratic press urged that the members of the home had no right to vote for legislators or other county officers, a right that would greatly deprive them cf a poa-or to bslp themselves. And It Is not believed that many of these men can be deceived Into voting for a democratic county ticket In order to secure redress from the state board, the inconsistency of which proposition Is dawning more and more upon them.

STAND I0NO RUN Market Showed Early Declines, bat These Are Followed by Rally More Gold I Bring ' eat Over. NE"W YORK, Nov. 1-The Trust Com nany of America and the Lincoln Trust company opened for business as usual at o'clock this morning. This followed conference Saturday and yester day at the home of J. Pierpont Morgan concerning the general financial condition and the desirability of relieving tho. heavy strain caused by run on these two trust companies during the last ten days. When the Trust Company of America opened this morning thirty-five people were in line, a considerable diminution from the number on hand during the earlier days of the run. The opening or both Institutions In dicate that the conferences held last night had exerted beneficial effects. During the conferences the boards of di rectors of the two trust companies were In session, while a number of financiers were assembled at Mr. Morgan's house, both bodies being In touch win, each other. A committee of experts, It appeared, on Sat urday had gone over the affairs of the Trust Company of America and had pro nounced It solvent. At the Stock exchange the opening showed early declines, followed by a rally, and then a running off of prices. At 12:30 Isaac N. Sellgman. speaking of the affairs of the Lincoln Trust company, said: "Tho directors of the Lincoln Trust com pany aro now In conforence considering several plans of action. The company has sufficient funds to meet all demands. The directors are considering what It Is best to do under the present circumstances." Importation of Gold. The Seaboard National bank announced today that It had procured $350,000 In gold from Europe. This made an even $30,000,000 engaged for import since the present move ment began. Heldelbach, Ickelheimor & Co. also an nounced today the engagement of $1,000,000 in gold and La sard . reres engaged an ad ditional $1,250,000 for Import) This makes the total engagement for the movement $32,250,000. The general financial situation was still tense today, but the banks and trust com panies feci confident that condition were well under control. The raising of the Bank of England discount rate to 6 per cent was not unpredlcted by those familiar with conditions In Europe. Tho fact that $2,000, 000 In gold was purchased In open market In -ondon during the morning for export to America probably hastened tho action of the bank. This .brings the total gold engaged up above $30,000,000. of which about $7,200,000 will arrive on Wednesday nnd tlO.OOO.OOO on Friday. This .will go at once Into banks where the engagement have beta mado., ao4 ,. will bo deposited in the banks where the engagement have been made by exchange house and gold brokers. Crop Sbort in Europe. While there Is considerable pressure for capital in Europe, it is felt that this coun try has the advantage in the state of tho trade-balance. Crops are short . In Europe and It Is absolutely essential to obtain American wheat and cotton at any reason able price. These prices are much higher thkn In 1S93, when cotton was at 8 cents, against about 11 cents at the present time, and wheat was 70 cents, against the present price of $1.07, while American steel rails are selling at the record price of $30 per ton. These forces, with the fact that the first half of the year showed an excess of exports of $189,000,000, as compared with a balance the other way In 1893 of $6S,000.), create a situation where-lt will be dl moult for the European banks to hold their gold even by high discount rates. Reports from Buffalo and other points Indicate that the blockade In the movement of the crop Is being broken and that many hundreds of carloads will soon be on ship board In New York, against which bills can be drawn on European money markets. Twelfth Ward Bank to Reopen. It was announced today that arrange ments have been made by which it may be possible for the Twelfth Ward bank, which closed its doors several days ago, to re open next Monday. Many depositors went to the bank today at the request of the officials, who asked them to sign an agrrement to the effect that on all big deposits in the bank that 75 or 100 per cent of the amount would ba left on deposit for a period of four months. Greatest Fight In Finance. In a statement given out this afternoon Frank Hilford, president of the Lincoln Trust company, said: "This has been the greatest fight in the hlBtory of finance. The directors have de cided to continue the fight and to pay off the depositors." , '. . . COL. POWERS GIVES HIS REASONS President of American Bankers' Aaso ' elation on Extra, Seoalon. LOUISVILLE, Ky.. Nov. 4.-Colonel J. D. Powers, piesldentjof th Am rl-an Pankers' association. In reply to many letter and telegrams today made the following state ment: I decline to join In the request to the pres. Idem to call an extra session of congress, because I would not ask the president to do a thing which I would not do myself. Nothing In the situation justlrtes an extra session at the presvnt. Cimgreesmen are not th adviser In times like the present. The government, through lis secretary of the treasury and comptroller of the cur rency, backed up by the president ha done and Is doing,, all that Is necessary to aid and assist courageous and wise financiers to allay the agitation and unrest growing out of conditions that sooner or later were bound to produce that which has been pre cipitated by over speculation In fictitious values. We aro face to face with a great lesson, which will result In substantial good to the country In general and the banks in par ticular. V 'ongressmen are "now at home and they will not fail to profit by the exierlences of their constituents and when they as semble next month they will take up the Fowler bill with greater Interest and more wisdom than they laid It down at the close of the last session. The conditions are for a speedy termina tion of the temporary difficulties that have occasioned the anxiety and worry. . When the gold that Is now afloat arrives In New Ifork currency will be released and will soon circulate between trade centers and speedily relieve conditions. y THREE KAXSAS BASKS CLOSED Iastltatian Allied with Bankers Trust Co.

The nego tiations opened last hummer for an ar rangement on a basis giving France the benefit of a 20 per rent reduction in wines In return for preferential on a list of about 200 articles, including shoes, tools, machinery, etc., have thus far been barren of results, and the French government Saturday virtually promised not to con clude any further commercial arrange ments until Parliament passes upon the proposed revision Of the tariff of 1893 to preclude any chance of abatement. While the extension nominally keeps the issue open for another month. It Is practically certain that nothing will be accomplished unless the United States radically changes Its attitude. France having all along re garded the concessions as being dispro portionate to what was equitable. The United States Is expected to retaliate and a tariff war will then be on. , FIGHT ON HARVESTER TRUST Kansas Attorney Fnt Company' Plea of Galltjr In .Texas In . Ividenre. TOPEKA, Kan., Nov. 4.
