Y., April 26. — Monroe County, which constitutes the 32d Con gress District, placed its disapproval on the candidacy of George W. Aid ridge, for more than twenty years the head of the Republican organization, and with admittedly the finest politi cal machine in the state, by giving James S. Havens, the Democratic nominee, a majority of 5,831 in the special election held to fill the vacan cy caused by the death of James Breek Perkins, Republican. The Democrats acknowledge that one of the main factors in to-day's reversal of political sentiment was a personal issue raised by Mr. Aid ridge's record as party boss and evidence pre sented at the recent insurance investi gation conducted by State Superin tendent of Insurance Hotchkiss. Mr. Aldridge acknowledged that he re ceived a SI,OOO check from Elijah R. Kennedy, an agent of the fire insur ance companies, but denied that he benefited personally by the transfer. He declared that he turned the money into the trasury of the Republican or ganization. This moral issue was taken up by the churches, and no less than twenty clergymen announced themselves in Mr. Havens's favor. James S. Havens, the Democratic candidate, with only the shadow of an organization and limited resources, carried seventeen out of the twenty two wards in the city of Rochester, and all but one of the nineteen towns in the county of Monroe. By a vote approximating 51,000, Mr. Havens won by 5,831 plurality. Two years ago Perkins, Republican, carried the dis trict by 10,107, the result to-day show ing a change of more than 16,000 votes. Also Havens is the first Demo cratic Congressman to represent this district in twenty years. The full vote for both candidates was as fololws: Havens vote in city, 18,389; Aldridge vote in city, 14,643; Havens plurality in city, 3,746. Havens vote in towns, 6,419; Ald ridge -vote in towns, 4,334; Havens plurality, 2,085. Entire vote cast: For Havens, 24,- 808; for Aldridge, 18,977; total, 13,785. Even the Democrats parading the rain-soaked streets behind a brass band were surprised at the magnitude of their victory. The Republicans, chagrined at the complete wreck of what two weeks ago was regarded as the most perfectly balanced political machine in the State, are simply stunned. "NO-SEAT-NO-FARE" CARS A GO. Trenton's Test of New Law a Big Suc cess in Two Days' Trial. Trenton, N. J., April 25.—Trenton's new "no seat no fare" ordinance has already worked wonders in the way of improved trolley service, although it only went into effect yesterday.

If it is a question merely of bigness the Russian railway system Is far and away the first in Europe. There are already many more miles of railway In this vast empire than' in any other country in the world excepting the United States, and Russian railways are still only in their infancy. It Is of course quite true that there are now in the United States more miles of railway than in all Europe and almost as many as in all the rest of the world put together, and that our territory is so large and as yet bo far from complete development that we shall Drobably keen the lead as far as railway enterprise is concerned for a long time to come. But in taking these large views, says Moody's Magazine, we have for gotten that Russia is two and a half times as large as all the United States put together with a population more than half as large again as our own; that in territorial extent it is more than twice as large as all Europe; that it stretches across the world for 170 degrees of longitude—nearly half way around the globe—and that it in cludes one-sixth of the land surface of the planet. It is not surprising that in such a country railways should have had a large development, that already there Is a considerable mileage and that the prospects in this direction seem to have no limit. In the future Russia and the United States are likely to di vide the railway empire of the world between them. Proof Positive. A Western newspaper man visited Washington recently and told the fol lowing story on former Representative Amos J. Cummings, of New York, who was once city editor of the Sun. One Saturday night it was announced that all the saloons were to be closed next day. Cummings called his star reporter, Murray. "Tom," he said, "go out to-morrow and find out if the saloons are selling liquor." It was Thursday when Tom again appeared at the city desk. "Thev were." he reported. 8f ANTED-A RIDER AGENT-'?"""- ample Latest Model "Ranker" bicycle furnishivl by ut. Our agents cverywhereara aakmg money fast.
