Fears That it Will Extend to Many

AMERICAN WHEAT MAY SAVE THEM
Sir Richard Temple, Who Has Hud Long
Experience In Indian Affairs, Thinks Our
Shipments Will Suffice to Fill the
Shortage in the Indian Supply,
Lontjox, Nov. 3. Tho viceroy of India,
tho Karl of Elgin, cables tho homo govern
ment that In tho Punjauli tho distress is
expected mostly in tho Cissutley portion
and In Trunsknri. In tracts of Lahore,
Glrranwalla, Gujarat and Shapur tha
autumn crops aro rathor better, and In
tho northwest provinces tho nffocted area
Is smaller than expected, but Includes
half tho population. The people aro now
eating autumn millets. Tho distress will
bopln about tho middle of Decomlicr. Tha
vicoroy says that tho rovonuo paying tIco
crops lmvo largely fnlled.
Great distress is foarcd In tho district ol
Saugor, Jubbtilpur, Nurslnghpur, Ho
shaugabad and a part of llalnpur and in
tho central provinces. The gcnoral pros
pects in Detigal aro gloomy. If thero is no
rain in Novomber tho distress may be
serious of l'atnabhajalpur. Tho fears,
howovor, aro supposed to bo exaggerated.
Itellef is likely to bo wanted overywhero
in Ilerar. Distress is nlso oxpeeted in
Hydorabad, Uhurtpur, Dholpur, Jalsal
mere, lllkanlr, Tonk, Gwalior and parts
of Ungkolknnd and liundelkand.
Tho oifuet of tho railway facilities will
bo to dlltuso tho distress, making It losa
intense. A few small riots havo boon re
ported, mostly owing to tho export ol
wheat having tho effect of raising prices.
Tho troops havo twico beon called out,
oneo unuecos.rily.
Soveral thousand tons of California
wheat havo reached Calcutta and 30,CH)C
tous aro believed to havo been bought
for homo, but tho homo prlcos aro said to
bo rising. When tho news of this Import
reached Julibulpur tho price fell from
eight mid a half to ten seers per rupee.
(Tho Indian seer Is equal to 2.0.VJ pounds
avcrdupols. Tho Indian rupeo is worth
about forty-flv cents. )
Sir Hlchard Tomplo, who has had ox
iierlouco In Indian affairs sinco 1810, has
beon interviewed on tho threatened famine.
Sir Richard alluded to tho import of Cali
fornia wheat as a unique factor In the
situation. Ho said:
"It appoars that this wheat can bo
landed at Calcutta and sold at from eight
to nino seers per rupee. Such a possibility
was never dreamed of In my tlmo. If this
bo truo it will suffice to fill tho shortage
in tho Indian supply."

Austin, Tex., Nov. 3. Election fermen
tation struck Austin twenty-four hours
oarlier, and last night for over four hours
tho streets were jammed by howling mobs
headed by brass bands anil tooting horns.
Thero wore a number of political meet
ings in progress, and tho crowds of hood
lums broke up soveral of them. At ono
meeting, whon Harris, tho Itepubllcan
negro nomiueo for congress in this dis
trict, attempted to speak, tho crowd
swarmed to tho platform, and ono of tho
men broko tho watorpltcherover his head,
while others draggod him from tho plat
form. Domocratlo and I'opullstlo speak
ers were also howled down and several
rotton eggs were thrown. No ono was
fatally hurt.

New Youk, Nov. 3. Chauncoy M. Do

speech last night to his townsieoplo at
Peeksklll. Every Inch of space in tho Do
pew Opera House was crowded, tho plat
form being occupied by prominent citi
zens, irrespective of party. Hon. W. W.
Travis presided. Dr. Depow came to tho
front and was given an enthusiastic recep
tion. His address occupied n little over
an hour, and was reploto with his charac
teristic anecdotes. Ho took tlmo, how
over, to soundly denounce the Democratic
candidate and to prosont a warm argu
ment against tho policy of freo silver.

unknown man last ovonlng, klllinir the

Chicago, Nov.3. On tho day of the bat
tle serenonud unbounded confidence reigns
in the headquarters camp of tho Demo
cratic party and In that of their ltopubll
enn rivals an well. On neither side Is there
n shadow of a doubt of tho result of tha
struggle, and In fnct, so sure aro the two
parties of victory, that thoro is n both
sides a feeling of nstonlshmont that tho
other side has tho audacity to claim any
thing at all. No two pugilists six months
before a problematical flyht wero over
inoro prolific In assertion, fnoro sweeping
in prediction nnd more overflowing with
promise of defeating tho opposition than
aro tho mou in tho headquarters of both
parties. They can see nothing but tho bow
of promlso at all points of tho compass.
At both headquarters there was yester
day a goneral oxodus for homo nnd voting

There Was a Bly Hush to the Polls
This Morning-.
INCREASES MADE IN ALL WARDS.
Tho Democrats Make Big claim For tha
First Ward-Many Compllmentarles
Given to Bradljan and Folmer in
the Second Ward.
Tho people could not havo wished for better
conditions for an election day than those af
forded to-day. Tho weather was all that
could bo asked clear and moderate In tem
perature all tho collieries were idlo and tho
streets were perfectly free from mud, so that
none who fail to vote can say it was too wet,
too cold, or too muddy.
Tho indications are that there aro few
peoplo in the town who havo the prh liege of
voting and will refuse or neglect to exercise
it. With tho exception of the First ward all
the polls were visited by a exceptionally
large number of people up to tho noon hour.
The votes polled at that tlmo Were : First
ward, 811 ; Second, 1711 ; Third, Sir ; Fourth.
Sfll ; and Fifth. 838. Ust fall the vote polled
at the noon hour was: Pint ward, 1S8; Sc
cond, ill ; Third, 157 ; Fourth, 105 j and Fifth,
23.
Iloth parties are fighting with all the vigor
they can command and the motto on all sides
seems to be "May the best man Win." In
the First ward the Demncratsaro exceedingly
confident and they predict that they will
givo their ticket a majority or 3.10.
In the Second ward the llepublicans be
came convinced that Pointer and Itradlgan
wero making big inroads into the I!cpubllcau
vote. Iloth men reside in the ward and there
is little doubt that the two candidates will
secure good majorities thero through what
are known as complimentary votes.
In tho Thiid ward a nip-and-tuck battle
was kept up during tho day, tho silver voto
cutting quite a conspicuous figure, but it was
the belief of soino wellposted people that the
Republican majorities would average about
13(1.
In tho Fourth ward, which for many elec
tions past has ranked as one of tho most
doubtful precincts of the town, the Republi
cans wcio veryjubilant. To them tho indi
cations wero that tho straight Republican
ticket would poll a big voto. A leading
Democrat of the ward conceded this after
noon that tho Republicans wero polling many
more votes than had been expected anil the
Deinocrats could not carry the ward. This
leader also conceded that Wyatt was run
ning exceptionally strong.
Tho battle In the Fifth ward was waged
spiritedly during the day and from surface
indications It appeared that while the
National Democratic ticket would be well
supported, the county ticket would lie
severely knifed. It was said that Davis and
Reese were polling big votes and Folmer was
sutrering the mot from tho slashing.
Taking the hoiough as a whole, the Demo
crats expect to give their ticket a miiioritv
of from 000 to 730. They are justified in
this estimate to some extent by the action In
the Polish and Lithuanian ranks, who were
evidently voting the Republican national
ticket nnd the Democratic county ticket. It
is fair to iwimc that this town will
give the Democratic county ticket a much
better majority than the Democratic national
ticket, hut it is doubtful that tho figures of
oven tho former ticket will reach the amount
claimed. It is quite certain that many gold
Deinocrats wero at tho polls to-day and their
votes, with the national ticket votes of the
Poles and Lithuanians, should keep the
Democratic majority close to, if not below
tho 300-mark.
AT ASHLAND.
A message fiom Ashland this aftoruoon
states that tho Republican county ticket is
polling a large vote and that Hcntz aud
Deegan will receive heavy majorities. Reeso,
for Register, aud Davis, for Treasurer, will
also lead their ticket. Thero is very little
cutting beiug done.
l'OTTSVII.I.K'8 HEAVY VOTK.
News from Pottsvillo brings the intelligence
that au unprecedented heavy voto is being
polled, and that the estimate of 1000 maj
ority for tho Republican ticket will bo real
ised, Shoeuer is being cut there, but tho
balance of tho ticket will suirer very little
from that source. Davis will leceive a large
vote, while Jeukyn is running behind in
Portz s own ward. Losch's election is as
sured. Although ho will not receive the
full Republican ticket, yet ho will get more
than enough Democratic votes to make up
for the loss. Shephcid will receive very
few complimentary votes.
