CLEANING THF, MARKET. Tho market' committee of the board of aldermen are now hiving some work done in the Hty mp.rket Tt is being whlte-wpslied and wil be- re jwdnted on the Interior. - v . CONTINUE FIRE COMMITTEE They will be (liven more Time and A Heeting Held to Hear . ' all Sides. The board of aldermen will meet to night at 8 o'clock for their regujar month ly session and several interesting matters will come up. , The special committee appointed at the last meeting to Investigate and report on the proposition for changing from a volunteer to a paid department will not be ready to report. This committee Is composed of Aldermen Pegram, Andrews and Hamilton. They have been out of the city much of the time and have held no meeting. It is anticipated that the committee will be continued and a time set for hearing any citizens on the mat ter. But the most important question for to night la the proposition for the city tc purchase a garbage farm. Such a recom mendation was made strongly in the last annual report of City Health Officer T. P. Sale, and since that time It has been held in mind by the members of the board. As It is now the city has no place to dump the refuse and garbage froir the streets and to place the bodies of animals that die In town. The proposi tion Is for the city to buy a farm for this purpose and to also locate the pes' bouse on it. An adequate place ought not to cost more than three or four thou sand dollars, and It is thought that r saving may be perfected by so doing Three places are under consideration, Ir fact the price bas been named and set tled for them. They are the Carter farn south of Raleigh. 180 acres, the Crowdei & Kand place adjoining, and the farm p' the State penitentiary. The matter of naming the streets wll' probably arise again also, since it seem! that the $500 thought 'to have been ap propriated for the purpose did not pasr the board !n due form. The finance committee are as yet un able to suy exactly what Metropolitar Hall retted the city laBt week, but thf 'act that some money was made Is con sidered encouraging. Other questions before the board wll! pertain to, mere routine work. FILIPINO MANIFESTO Declared They do Not Favor American Control. By telegraph to The Times. LONDON, Nov. S.

Claims of the Politicians. Offers of the Carr Supporters. Very little money has been waged in North Carolina, on the result of the election. There has beeu so. little in terest, in the. national contest that neither the Bryan nor McKinley men have seen tit to get much excited over the result, and consequently little money has been, put up. A good many bottles of Wine and boxes of cigars have been waged on the result in' Maryland, Indiana and Kentucky. It- is considered that North Carolina is -sp sa,fely Democratic that, there is no doubt ot the. result. The only doubtful points in this State are the Ivigth unci '.Ninth CongrcKsional dis tricts, in .which there is a hot. fight. The others are generally conceded to the Democrats. In the advertising columns of The Times today' a- gentleman from Ohio offers to bet $130 on McKinley's elec tion to $50 on Bryan's. This is 3 to 1 on the general result, and is the largest amount yet offered here in cash. All the interest in this State is centered on the Senatorial contest and the partisans of Simmons and (.'arr can lie seen in heated argument, on al most every street corner. Each side elniniii almost everything in sight, and says victory is certain. 'Die Sim mons men claim he will carry Wake county by a thousand majority, while the. Carr men say that, the country voters are clmost solidly for Carr, and that the Durham man will carry, the county. A good many bets have been made on the Senatorial result in the larger towns. The odds are on Sim mons, but. whenever the Simmons men make rash claims, Carr men offer to bet on it. John W. King, of Greens Ixvro, offers to bet. $100 that Simmons will not. get the majority his manager, Mr. Charles M. Busbce, claims for him. C N. McAdoo and others at Greensboro offer $500 that, Simmons will not carry 85 couuties as claimed by Mr. H. B Vnmpiy; On fheoth,?r hand, the Simmons ' .men are very ready to bet on the result of the pri mary, and the Carr men do not seem inclined to take them up. WILL TAKE UP MR. KING. Mr. C. M. Busbce, who is managing Mr. Simmons' campaign in the Sena torial contest, stated to a Times re !orter this morning that several Ral eigh people were anxious o take up the offer of Mr. .1. W.

Mr. Bnsbee stated further that he had also received tele grams from reliable parties in several sections of the State, who had read the offer of Mr. Kinp-. and were, anx ious to take it up. Mr. Busbee stated further that Mr. King could get bets on his offers for any amount up to $100,000. ' ' Mr. King's offer, as published, is a. follows: Greensboro, N. C Nov. 1.
