BEGAN VERY EARLY. Their Carriages Started as Soon as Polls Opened.. At Least Two 11 omen Totes Cast to One Man. Later in Day Proportion Was Much Smaller. There will be a very large vote polled today in Topeka. The women are con , taming the interest they exhibited on the clay of the primary and the indications see tbat nearly the full woman vote will be polled. The day opened cloudy but the rain and SnOW had ceased to fail. The streets and sidewalks were, however, covered with a slush which made walking de cidedly disagreeable. This condition -had but little effect upon the women workers and the polls were hardly open until they began to Unload carriage, load after carriage load Of WOMell votes. It is needless to say that these voters were all for Hughes. The women paid no attention to the tnen and the consequence is that the Men have a neglected and indifferent air. At nearly every polling place in the city the early vote was in the proportion of at least two women to one mare The Parker people are showing less activity than was anticipated and the early vote was for Hughes by a large majority. At the police station there were 150 'Votes cast at 10 o'clock and 100 of theta were cast by women. 1s1ANY VEHICLES IN E. At the Auditorium tbe percent. of the -woman vote was about the same, and Ett the other precincts the same propor tion would hold good. It was evident that the women were doing all the work. At noon the men votes were beginning to come in, and the result was more cliflicult to tell, but it was estimated by the watchers at the polls that the Hughes forces had the best of it. This may be changed by the vote later in the evening. but if the same ratio is maintained all day and until the closing -of the polls Mr. Hughes will be elected by a substantial majority. Of course it is imoessible to tell how the men are ereing; they say nothing, and after vot ing immediately leave the polls. The Hughes forces have the greatest number of vehicles out to haul the vot ers to the polls, in spite of the story circulated that the Democrats are apending' rneney lavishly which is fur nished by the Kansas City brewers. Many women have their private rigs out and are avorking for Hughes. The Parker vehicles had sig-ns on them and the Hughes rigs did riot. It was only by talking to the men at the polls that Ein idea of the vote ccould be obtained. In the Second ward the vote is ap parently egainst Hughes, and in the First ward it seems to be close. In the other v-ards there can not possible be enough Parker votes polled in the after noon to counteract the immense Hug-he vote of the morning. There was trouble in opening' the polls st one precinct only, and that was at the third precinct of the Fifth ward. There the Democrats and Populists had each pained a judge and they were ap pointed by the commissioner of elections. The Democratic judge could net SerVP, ELIA the commisaioner of elections ap pointed a :Republican in his stead. That WELS contraey to the law, and the Demo crats objected when the polls were to be opened with two Republican judges. Th, refused to allow the polls to be opened anti held a meeting at the poll ing place and elected another Demo crat. Then the Republicans objected. The commiseioner of electiens was teha phoned fee and went down to settle the matter. Ile (-erne to. the conclusion that the Republicans were entitled to but ore of the judges. and so instructed the members of that party who were dela3-ing the eleetiOn. The Democratic! judge was put in, and things moved along all right. MEN BEGIN AT NOON. The. Men beean to vote at noon and a short time after noon the, men voles equaled that of the women in all the precincts. The reports from the precincts which are on the paved streets show that about one-third of the vote WaS cast at noon and in the precincts off the paring the vote was less than one fourth the registration. At the same ratio the', entire vote of the city will mit be more than 12.000. The greatest dif ference will be made in the Second ward where the shops Will close at 4 o'clock and the men who are employed there will have a chance to cast their ballots. Mr. Parker said this afternoon that he eonsidere-d that the weather was against hint. "1 will lose 1,000 votes on account of the westher," be said. "The women are out and they are generally opposed , to me. at least that is the supposition. et- is impossible to keep the women from voting-. They will get out. The men will not vote until late this afternoon." In answer to the question, "What do you think of your prospeets for election?" he said: "It is impossible to tell anything' about it. I am confident though that if the weather had been good 1 would have made a better race than I will under the circumstances." , MAJ. ANDERSON FIRST. Given Place of Honor at Fourth Ward Polling Place. - 'Major T. J. Anderson cast the first bal lot this morning at the voting place, 1,,,,2 West Sixth street, of the Fourth precinct of the Fourth ward. The voters lined up early and Captain Joe Waters suggested that liklitlor Ander son, secretary of the Cornmerciai club, h-e given the place at the head of the line, The motion was put to a vote and the ex pression was unanimous for according the masjur the first vote.

Maabe I'll smash. I expect I will. But I won't g-o on the lecture platform. No, no; don't like that." Mrs. Nation's first act on arriving in the city was to knock a cigar from the man h of a man who permitted smoke to blow in her face. Her last act as she was boarding her train was to give an Amfrican bea,uty rose to a man named Englehart from Chicago, who had two blackened eyes. She told him she would pray for him that he might lead a better life. Between the cigar and the rose inci dents Mrs. Nation ate a breakfa-at of rolla sausage and coffee In the second class waiting room, visited two Market street saloons, eng-aged in hea-ted argu merus with the bartenders and was fin ally forced from the Nation saloon, whtch she visited on her previous pass age through St. Louie, at the point of a loaded revolver In the handsof the pra prietor. Jaseph Sauerburger. Mrs. Nation started on her saloon tour witn catiy one companion. After visiting the place of J. W. Kaup, she wera to the Nation saloon" at Sixteenth and Mar ket streets, which she visited a week ago. The doors were unlocked and she walked in. A crowd that packed thesaloon gather ed about Mrs. Nation when she began to talk to Joseph Sauerburger, who grew excited. and began to argue angrily. "I don't believe any lady would do as you are doing." he shouted. "I don't think you are in any place for a, lady. You are selling your soul worse than I am. I'll bet you that my wife and I are a good deal happier than you are with your husband. Answer me, don't you think so?" But you're ruining other families," replied Mrs. Nation, shaking her fista in Sauerburger's face. "Now, I am not," he replied. "I don't invite anybody in here. I didn't ask this crowd to come." Some WOMPTI in the thrOng about Mrs. Nation yelled. "Yes, you dG, too; you ruin hundreds of families." The crowd cheered and Sauerburger became more excited than ever. He grabbed a seltzer bottle and shook it in Mrs. Nation's face. She did not move. He drew his revolver and told her to leave or he would shoot her and some body else, too. She made her way to the street and made a. speech to the crowd there. "This is St. Louis," she declared. "This is the kind of city you've got. Oh, I must come back and clean these places out. I can smash if I can't do anything else. The women of this city will ihelp me, I know.'' RUSSIA IS COrIFIDENT.

NEW PRI3IE MINISTER. Lord Salisbury Soon to Drop Out of Public Life. New York, April 2.--A dispatch to the Tribune from London sa,ys: The invalids are profiting by a. sudden invigora-ting change in the weather, among them L,ord Salisbury, whose im provement is marked. Contradictions of the report of his falling health nnð impending retirement are emphasized at Westminster on the eve of the Easter recess, but those closest in touch with public affairs are not misled by the op timism prevailing on the ministerial side. The prime minister's intense' eagerness to be relieved from offieial cares is known. and his retirement from public life is much nearer than is gen erally believed. Nothing is likely un til the budget speech has been made, the CIVII list sanctioned and financial sup port for the fiscal year virtually ar ranged. But there will be a new prime minister before the session ends, and , the ministry may be changed at one or two points. One forecast may be re peated with confidence, as it is obtained from high authority. This is the speedy appointment of Mr. Balfour as prime minister with elevation to the peerage. Air. Balfour's presense at Windsor on Sunday is explained by the fact that a cha,nge is impending at an early day, and tbat he has been in consultation with the king respecting it. The high authority asserts that Air. lialfour's ele vation to the peerage is the king's method of determining the succession to the premiership, and that Lord Salis bury will retire as soon as this change can be effected. Mr. Chamberlain will then become the lea-der in the commons and the aggressive force of the govern ment will be greatly increased. He can lead the commons without abandoning the colonial office for the treasury, and Sir Michael Hicks-Beach is an inflexible ohl Tory whose han been the strong est force in the cabinet for offering re sistance to, Air Chamberlain. HiS in fluence can hardly fail to diminish after the budget speech- is made. He tray escape Sir TSrilliani Harcourt's criticism by adhering ,:dosely to the lines of liberal finance, but it is clearly impossible for him to present a,nything but an un pepular bud8et with large additions to taxation.

While Mr. Rosier was sta,nding at the polls, John Banks. one of a. crowd of twenty or more neg,roes, attempted to vote. His vote was challenged by Mr. Rosier, who said the negro had already voted elsewhere. He requested the police officer there to arrest Banks. This was done, and while the officer was telephoning for the patrol wagon, the crowd of negroes sur rounded him and his prisoner, whom they rescued.
