Breidenthal Admits the Election Of the Republican State Ticket ,ty 6,000 Plurality. IT IS ALSO GIVEN UP By Democratic State Chairman Pepperill. Chairman Kiddle Defers the Surrender a Few Hours. The Republicans have exemplified the custom of the Kansas people to reverse themselves on state politics every two years by electing Stanley by a majority which will probably not fall below 10, 00. The entire Republican state ticket is undoubtedly elected by majorities not far from that of the head of the ticket. While the fusionists showed many re markable gains in the cities, the Re publicans more than offset them by much larger gains in the country dis tricts. Attorney General Boyle in some local ities has run ahead of his ticket, but not at all in sufficient votes to endanger the election of Godard. The Republicans have surely elected a majority of the congressmen and at this hour appear to have chosen seven out of eight. Congressman Ridgley, Populist, of the Third district, seems to have defeated Kirkpatrick and from all present indications will be the only Populist Kansan in the house of repre sentatives. The Republicans seem to have elected a majority of the members of the house sufficient to give them a majority on joint ballot, notwithstand ing the Populist supremacy in the state senate. At 12:30 o'clock today John Breiden thal conceded the election of Stanley by 6.000 votes. The concession was made immediate ly after the receipt of a telegram an nouncing a stand off in Montgomery county. This telegram followed a number showing Populist losses com pared with two years ago. Secretary W. L. Pepperill of the Democratic state central committee said: "In my judgment the entire fusion state ticket is defeated by a majority ranging from 4.000 to 6,000." A few minutes before Breidenthal conceded Stanley's election. Chairman Riddle of the Populist state central committee left the headquarters and just before he left he said: "I will not take back my last state ment of 2.700 majority for Leedy until 6 o'clock tonight." At 3 o'clock, however. Chairman Rid dle conceded the election of the entire Republican congressional delegation with the exception of Ridgley, Vincent and Simpson, with the Indications point ing to the defeat of the last two. At that time Chairman Riddle claim ed but 45 members of the legislature elected, and said he did not believe there would be enough fusion members of the next legislature to elect a state printer. Eighty-four members are re quired on joint ballot, and with Riddle's claim of but 43 the Populists will have only 73 on joint ballot. Corner Davies, the only other candi date for a place in the senate besides J. W. Frasius of this county, was de feated by the big Republican majority In Republic county. The election of the Republican state ticket by a majority of 8.000, 100 mem bers of the lower house of the legisla ture and seven out of eight congress men, is the claim made at Republican headquarters. Morton Albaugh, chairman of the Re publican state committee said: "The election of the Republican ticket by a majority exceeding 8,000 is, in my opin ion now assured. The returns which we are receiving show Republican gains everywhere, even in counties which we did not expect to carry. These straws Indicate which way the wind blows and I am confident of a complete victory." The defeat of Jerry Simpson, accord ing to returns received at Republican headquarters from the various counties In the district, seems assured. Charlie'Curtis' majority is bigger than ever, but the state ticket does not run up with him. The Republicans have lost considerably in the First district. Congressman Ridgley will be re-elected but by a decreased majority if the present ratio of Republican gains con tinue In that district. The returns are coming Into the Re publican headquarters rapidly whllefew returns have been received at the Popu list headquarters. The Populist com mittee officials say they instructed the local committeemen to send nothing in complete, which accounts for the delay. Returns started to come In slowly at Populist headquarters this morning. W. E. Stanley, Governor-Elect of Kansas. The first was from Atchison county stating that the fusion state ticket had carried the county by a small majority. This was followed by the return from Republic county showing the defeat of the fusion state and congressional ticket by 500. This is Republican gain in the county of 350. A telephone message to Secretary Tip ton from Kansas City, Kan., announced that returns from the country precincts offset the Republican majority in the city. Tabulated returns by precincts start ed to come in by mail early this morn ing but were scattered to such an ex tent that up to 11 o'clock they failed to show satisfactorily the result in any of the counties. At noon Chairman Albaugh states that 600 precincts give Stanley 50,721, Leedy 44.827. Same ratio of gain in the remaining precincts will give the Republicans the state by 9,800 plurality. Returns from eight counties were re ceived at the Populist headquarters be tween 11 and 11:30 o'clock. With the exception of two counties all are favor able to the fusion state ticket, Crawford county Leedy carries coun ty by over 700. Probably 900. Anderson county Leedy will carry county by 75. Labette county Indications200 Leedy majority. Pratt county State fusion ticket about 30 and Simpson 10 plurality. Kingman county Fusion ticket elect ed by 250. Labette County Indications 200 Leedy 150 majority. Loss of 250 compared with 1896. Gove, county Republican state tick et elected by majority from 80 to 100. Populist representative wins.

Late Figures Give Stanley Apparent ly About 12,000. Returns received by the Republican state committee from 80 of the 105 coun ties of Kansas 58 give Stanley a plurality of 15.170, while 22 give Leedy a plurality of 3,271, a. net plurality for Stanley of 11,899. The pluralities by counties are given as follows: Stanley. Leedy.

Roosevelt Succeeds in Biding the Tammany Tiger. Elected Governor of New Tort fcy 18 or 20 Thousand. REPUBLICANS LOSE Twelve Congressmen But Carry the Legislature. Some Surprising Changes and Summersaults IN THE OTHER STATES Minnesota and Nebraska Flop on Governor. Teller Men Win a Sweeping Tictory in Colorado. The South is More Solidly Dem ocratic Than Ever. New York, Nov., 9. Revised returns as they came early today made practi cally no change in those of last night, which showed the election of Col.Roose velt. Republican for governor, by a plurality of from 18.000 to 20,000 over Augustus Van Wyck, Democrat. As compared with the election of 1896, when Black defeated Porter, this shows a Republican loss of from 190,000 to 195, 000. Roosevelt came to the Harlem riv er with 105,000 plurality and Van Wyck had but 85,000 in Greater New Tork, with which to meet it. The vote outside the city shows that Roosevelt lost 61,000 as compared with Black. In the city his vote was 61.000 smaller than Black's. In the country districts Van Wyck ran about 20,000 and in the city about 54,000 ahead of Porter. The state's congressional delegation will probably stand: Fifteen Republicans to 19 Dem ocrats, a Democratic gain of 12. In old New Tork city (Manhattan borough), no Republican has been returned and a notable feature of the election was the defeat by Capt. William Astor Chanler of Lemuel E. Quigg for congress in the Fourteenth district where the former overcame a Republican plurality of 11, 790 two years ago and won by about 3 000 The state legislature will be Re publican on joint ballot by 32 votes, en suring the election of a Republican to succeed Senator Edward Murphy Jr., on the expiration of his term on March 3 1899. The state senate will stand 27 Republicans to 23 Democrats, a Demo cratic gain of nine. The Republicans will have 89 members of the assembly and the Democrats 6L This is a Repub lican gain of 11. The vote up the state furnished sev eral surprises. Rochester, the home of George W. Eldridge, commissioner of public works gave Roosevelt only 420 plurality against 4.196 for Black in 1896. Renssalaer county, the home of Gover nor Black, gave Van Wyck, a plurality of about 700. Black carried it by 2,800. Roosevelt ran ahead of Black's figures in Allegheny by 300 and in Broome by 2'New Tork, Nov. 9. In the Fi-st dis trict, Scudder (Dem.), is elected. New York, Nov. 9. Practically com plete returns on the vote for governor in the entire state give Roosevelt, Re publican, a plurality of 19,533 The Democratic plurality in Greater New York was 82,203. CALIFORNIA. Repubublicans Sweep the State and Will Elect a United States Senator. qin Francisco, Nov. 9 California has elected a Republican, governor and nrohablv the entire state ticket by plu ralities Estimated from 5.000 to 20,000 Complete returns will not be in for 24 hours at best, but the election of Hen rv T Ga-e Republican, over James G. Maguire "Democrat, is conceded. The Republicans have swept everything be fore them and John D Spreckels the California member of the Republican national committee claims the election of six out of seven congressmen. There is even some doubt regarding the elec t'on of Devries, Democrat, in the Sec ond, who two years ago defeated Con gressman Grove L. Johnson by 8,000, but Devries will probably win by a small margin. In the Fourth district represented for three terms by James G. Maguire, Kahn (Rep.) has been elected and Barlow and Castle are probably de feated for re-election in the Sixth and Seventh districts respectively. The congressional delegation from California will be as follows: First district. Barham, Republican, Second, Devries, Democrat. Third, Metcalf, Republican. Fourth. Kahn. Republican. Fifth, Loud, Republican. Sixth, Waters, Republican. Seventh, Needham, Republican. The Republicans will have a large xnajoritv in the legislature which will this winter elect a U. S. senator to suc ceed Stephen M. White, Democrat. The fight for the mayoralty of San Francisco has been eagerly contested and the result is yet uncertain. The indications are, however, that James D. Phelan, the present mayor will be re elected by a small majority. It is impossible this morning to state definitely the result of the municipal election "in this city. Only meager re turns have been received as the state ticket was counted first, but the few figures given out. indicate that Mayor Phelan, Democrat, is running ahead of his ticket and may possibly be re-elected, notwithstanding the Republican majority given to candi dates for the state offices. Friends of the Republican nominee for mayor, Charles L. Patton, however, claim that he has surely been elected. It will probably require the completion of the eount to decide the result. San Francisco, Nov. 9. In California 617 precincts out of 2,014 outside of San Francisco give Gage 31,015. Maguire 28, 053. Same precincts in 1896 gave Mc Kinley 29,458; Bryan 29,732. San Francisco, Calif.. Nov. 9. California has gone to the Republican column with more emphasis than ever before. The entire state ticket, with possibly the exception of secretary of state has been elected according to Republican claims. In San Francisco 221 precincts out of 303 gave Gage, (Rep.), for governor 20, 063; Maguire (Dem.), 18,022. In the Fourth congressional district, Kahn (Rep.), gets 11,216; Barry (Dem.), 9.900. Fifth district, Loud( Rep.), 7, 246; Craig (Dem.), 7,225. There are still a number of precincts to hear from in these districts. The count this year throughout the state has be"en unusually slow and it will be several days before the complete figures are received. The Republicans claim all seven congressmen. OHIO. Republicans Claim 60,000 Majority and 15 Congressmen. Columbus, Nov. 9. Additional returns today do not materially change the re sult announced last night of over 60,000 Republican plurality on the state ticket and fifteen Republicans to six Demo cratic congressmen. The Republicans are celebrating the election of as many congressmen in what is known as the "off year" as they elected at the last presidential election while they more than double the plurality of 28,000 for Bushnell for governor last year. In the odd years a governor and full state ticket with members of the legis lature are elected every two years, while in the alternate, or even years only a few minor state officers with con gressmen are elected as was the case yesterday, but the alternate or even years come once in four years with the presidential campaign so that the "off year," comes only once in four years and always two years after the presi dential election. The Republicans have historically lost in Ohio in these "off years," except when Cleveland was president, when the Democrats had the same experience because of disappointments, disaffec tion, etc. While the result may not be regarded as specially significant, it is very surprising to the politicians on both sides in the state and other Demo cratic managers say that President Mc Kinley is the first Republican president to get the endorsement of this state in the "off year" of his administration. Chairman Dougherty of the Republi can state committee, attributes the re sult to the sentiment for such endorse ment. Chairman Blacker of the Democratic state committee says the result was due to the administration successfully con ducting the war. The Democratic managers are rejoic ing over what they call the "sore spots of the victors." It is stated that none of the state departments, or institutions under Governor Bushnell contributed to the Republican state committee, but to the defeat of Higgins in this congres sional district, while the plurality of Congressman Weaver of Springfield, in the Seventh district, the home of Gover nor Bushnell, was reduced from 2,250 two years ago, to only 250 yesterday. Governor Bushnell, ex-Chairman Kurtz, Mayor McKisson and others were leading a Republican bolt in the legislature last January against Sena tor Hanna, Congressman Weaver head ed a delegation of Springfield citizens, who created a scene when they called on Governor Bushnell here to protest against his course and the whole state administration is said to have been used in opposing Weaver's election. Columbus, Nov. 9. Until noon today returns indicated the Republicans had carried the same fifteen congressional districts and the Democrats the same six districts as in the presidential elec tion of 1896. but this afternoon the Dem ocrats claim the election of Zimmerman over Wolver in the Seventh. It will require the official count to de termine the result in that district. DELAWARE. Republicans Elect Majority of the Legislature, Wilmington, Del., Nov. 9. Detailed returns from Kent and Sussex counties were not received until this morning. They are sufficient to show that the next legislature of this state is almost surely Republican in each branch, and certainly Republican on joint ballot. According to complete returns from the state, with the exception of a few districts, the next legislature will stand: Republicans, 29; Democrats, 23. The Republicans will thus elect a sen ator to succeed United States Senator Gray, Democrat. Congressman Handy, Democrat, was defeated by John Hoffecker, Republican, bv a majority that will not be less than 2,000. By the same margin the Republicans elect Dr. L. Heisler Ball, state treas urer, and John A Lingo, state auditor. They also elect their county tickets in etch of the three counties. It was a clean Republican sweep. Wilmington, Del., Nov. 9. Revised returns show that the senate will be democratic by 9 to 8 and the house Re publican by 21 to 14. The control of the senate by the Dem ocrats will prevent any partisan legis lation by the Republican majority even without respect to the veto power of the governor who is a Democrat. NORTH CAROLINA. Republicans Get but Two Out of Nine Congressmen. Raleigh, N. C, Nov. 9. The Demo crats have certainly won in the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh districts. Returns are not complete, but it is practically certain that they have won in the First, Third and Ninth. In the Second and Fourth, the two Populists endorsed by the Democrats are elected. The Republicans re-elected Dinney in the Eighth. The legislature Is two-thirds Demo cratic on joint ballot and Democratic judicial ticket is elected by not less than 20,000. Two years ago the fusionists carried the state by 40,000. The following congressmenareelected: First district John H. Small, Demo crat. Second George H. White, calored.Re publican. Third Charles P. Thomas, Democrat. Fourth J. W. Atwater, Independent Populist. Fifth William .W. Kitchen, Demo crat Sixth John D. Bellamy, Democrat. Seventh Theodore F. Klutz, Demo crat. Eighth R. Z. Dinney, Republican. Ninth W. F. Crawford, Democrat. Atwater was endorsed by the Demo crats and may be credited to that col umn. So the Republicans only get two out of the nine congressmen from this state. Washington, Nov. 9. A Star special from Wilmington, N. C, says: The Democratic majority in the city and county is about 1,235. In the city proper the majority for the Democrats is about 1,000. The Republican majority for congressman two years ago was about 650 The Republican leaders as sert there was a manipulation of votes but that they counselled their followers not to resist It. The Sixth congressional district is Democratic by probably 4,000 majority. Two years ago it was carried by the Republicans and Populists by 5,000. IOWA. Republicans are Claiming a Clean Sweep in the State. Des Moines, la. Nov. 9. It Is esti mated today that the Republican plur ality on the state ticket will be about 45.000. Chairman Hancock of the Re publican state central committee is con fident the count will show 60,000. Re turns do not show a single Democratic congressman elected, but Chairman Townsend refuses to recede from the following signed statement made early this morning: "We confidently claim the election of Gen. Weaver in the Sixth district and believe that fuller returns will show the election of other Democratic congress men from Iowa. Dubuque, la., Nov. 9. D. B. Hender son (Rep.) is re-elected to congress in the Third district. TEXAS. Democrats Were Not Feeling Well and Majority is Only 200,000. Dallas, Nov. 9. Major Sayers, the Democratic nominee for governor, 'has a majority estimated by Chairman Ball of the Democratic state committee at 200,000 and it wil not fall very far short of that, judging by the returns at hand. Every district returned a Democratic congressman with the exception of the Eighteenth and an official count will be necessary to decide this district. WISCONSIN. Democrats Save One Congressman Out of the Wreck. Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 9. Election returns received up to 3 o'clock this morning, though far from being com plete, indicate that Governor Scofield, Republican, is sure of election by at least 20.000 plurality. Republican Chair man Treat still sticks to his claim of 40,000; the Sentinel says at least 30,000. while National Democratic Committee man Wall says Scofield might have from 5,000 to 10,000 plurality though he would not concede this, having heard from but 10 per cent of the precincts in the state. Milwaukee county complete, with the exception of the village of Cudahy, gives Scofield 592 plurality. This county also elected a Republican ticket with the exception of sheriff, which went to the Democrats. Republicans elect congressmen in every district except the second which is still in doubt. The legislature is over whelmingly Republican, the senate con sisting of 31 Republicans and two Dem ocrats and the assembly 77 Republicans and 23 Democrats a Republican ma jority on joint ballot. La Crosse, Wis., Nov. 9. Congress, Wisconsin, Seventh district, John J. Esch, Republican, elected CONNECTICUT. Republican by 15,000 and 50 Major ity in the Legislature, New Haven, Nov. 9. The result of the election in this state was a victory for the Republican ticket. Complete re turns from all 65 towns of the 168 in the state gave Lounsburg, Republican, 75,057; Alorgan, Democrat, 58.406. The same towns in 1896 gave Cooke, Republican, 100,999; Sargeant, Demo crat, 51,396. The majorities of candidates on the state ticket will average fully 15,000. The Republican candidates seem to have suffered most from the general de crease in the vote but no particular dis satisfaction can be said to be shown by the general result. The only real con test was in the Second district, where Congressman Sperry, the Republican nominee and James H. Webb, were the opposing candidates. Sperry's major ity will be 3,325. Returns indicate that the Republicans will have a majority of at least 50 in the general assembly. IDAHO. Indications Point to Success of Silver Republicans. Boise, Ida., Nov. 9. For the first time in the history of this state women have voted for congressman and state offi cers. They took the liveliest interest in the proceedings. In view of the isola tion of many places accurate returns are not yet available. It is therefore somewhat difficult to say what effect the vote of the women has had on the general result. It is known, however, that the women have not voted along partisan lines. Twelve precincts on congressman give Hepburn, (R.) 261; Wilson (S. R.) 362; Ounn (D.) 182 for governor. Moss 255; Steunenberg 4S1, Anderson 62. ARKANSAS. All the Old Congressmen, Democrats, Re-Elected. Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 9. The con gressional election in Arkansas was the quietest held in years. In Little Rock out of a voting population of about 8, 000, only 300 votes were polled, and that is about the ratio throughout the state. All the old congressmen were re-elected. Dinsmore, in the Fifth district, being the only candidate who had opposition. WYOMING. Republicans Probably Elect Governor and Congressman. Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 9. Wyoming has gone Republican on state and con gressional tickets in majorities ranging from 1,000 to 1.800 votes. The legislature is also undoubtedly Republican and will elect a Republican senator to succeed C. D. Clark. Returns from 31 precincts out of 287 districts in the state are now in. These gave 260 majority for Mon dell for congress in 1896 and now give him 529 majority, a net gain of 269 votes. In these precincts Richards, Republican for governor, has 394 majority, a net gain of 134 votes. Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 9. Returns on state and congressional tickets in Chey enne are not yet complete, but the count indicates Democratic gains in this city over 1896. Twelve precincts outside of Cheyenne, which in 1896 gave Mondell 33 majority, now give him 106 majority, a gain of 73. MISSOURI. Democrats Elect State Ticket and All but Three Congressmen. St. Louis, Nov. 9. Returns from all over coming very slowly today and though far from complete, everything received points to the election of the entire Democratic state ticket by at least 30,000 majority, and the selection of a majority ot members of the legis lature, ensuring the re-election of Uni ted States Senator Cockrell. Three Re- (Continued on Sixth Page.) SHAWNEE. This County Gives Stanley a Majority of 2,300. While Republicans Suffer a Loss in Topeka THE COUNTHT GAINS More Than Offset the Town De fection. Both Parties Show Falling Off in Total Vote. Shawnee county has given the Re publican state ticket a plurality of about 2,300. The official figures with six country precincts to hear from are 2,164. The precincts which have not reported are Menoken, Muddy, Monmouth, Rich land, Auburn and Willard. All except Willard and Muddy are strong Republi can precincts and they are not large enough to make a difference of more than eight or ten votes. This is a gain of about 200 over the Morrill majority of two years ago. He carried the county by 2,038. The gain has been in the country for the returns from the city indicates a loss of 248. Morrill carried the city by a majority of 1,710 while Stanley's majority in the city is but 1,462. Congressman Curtis led the ticket in the county by at least 200 votes with Major Anderson a close second. Pro bate Judge Dolman also ran well and he will have a larger majority than any of the candidates for county offices. The greatest surprise for the fusion ists was in the Second ward of the city. They had made all kinds of esti mates concerning the Leedy majority in the Second ward and the fact is that the Republican managers did not ex pect to carry the ward. But the com plete returns show that Stanley carriedr the ward by a plurality of 17; Morrili carried the ward by a plurality of 11. It was supposed that the resubmission ists in the ward would flock to Leedy as they did to Morrill but they failed to respond. It now appears that the Santa Feshop vote which was considered so' uncertain by the Republicans was real ly favorable to Stanley. The First ward was carried for the Republicans by a majority of 155, which shows neither a loss nor a gain. The Populists had hoped to make gains in this ward. There was a loss of 200 votes in the Third ward but no corresponding loss to the Republicans. Two years ago the total vote cast in the ward was 1.60 and the plurality for Morrill was 755. This year the total vote cast in the ward was 1,455 and Stanley's majority is 709. In the Fourth ward there was also a large falling off in the vote. Two years ago 1.682 votes were cast and Morrill's plurality was 442 while this year the total number of votes cast was 1,326 and Stanley has a plurality of 452, indi cating that the losses were pretty even ly divided. The big fight in the county was be tween Stephenson and Griley, candi dates for representative in the Thirty eighth district. This is the district which was made to order by the Popu list legislature o that they might have one Populist representative from Shaw nee county. But the plan failed and W C. Stephenson, the Republican nominee, was elected by a majority of 214. Griley carried the Second ward by a majority of 95 but Stephenson carried the First ward by 198, Oakland by 101 and Te cumseh by 10. This district was con sidered doubtful by the Republican committeemen and a good deal of even money was bet that Griley would win. There was also a fierce fight on Com missioner Scott Kelsey but he swept his district by a. big majority. The plan of campaign against Kelsey was worked out among the farmers on the ground that he had made an unjust equaliza tion of country valuation but the farm ers seem to have voted the ticket straight and they made no exception against Kelsey. Representative E. D. McKeever was elected by a majority of 1,4 18. His op ponent on the fusion ticket was John Barber, a colored man, but the colored voters did not vote for Barber. The Populists' claims concerning the colored vote were wild dreams. If there was a gain in that direction it is not perceptible on the face of the returns. A large share of the credit for the hold ing of the colored vote is due to Chair man Chaney of the Republican county committee, who superintended the most thorough organization that has ever been made among the colored people. One thing has been pretty clearly demonstrated by this election in Shaw nee county and that is that the negroes will not stray very far away from the Republican party and that even then they are easily induced to return to the fold. The total vote cast in the city this year was 6.112 which is a small vote even for the light registration. Disgraceful Affair. That portion of the election law gov erning the selection of judges and clerks should be so fixed that it would be im possible for intoxicated persons to par- ticipate in either capacity at elections. There was one of the judges in the Sec ond precinct of the Second ward, a man named Benson whose standing in ths community seems to depend solely on the fact that he is related to the city councilman, who was beastly intoxicat ed during the count of the vote last night and took occasion to insult news paper men on their rounds for the re turns. Election commissioners in the future should see that no men of Ben son's type are selected for the places of judges or clerks, as reporters objec t to being dictated to by inebriates.

c 5 NEW SPECIES OF ELK. Tield Museum Party Slakes a Discov ery In Olympia Mountains. Seattle, Nov. 9. As the result of three months' work by a parly from the Field Columbian museum. heaJed by Prof. D. O. Elliott, a new species of elk has been found in the Olympia mountains and named Roosevelt elk. in honor of the hero of Santiago. The animals were found by a hunting party of three who penetrated the roughest and most im passable mountain region in the world by leaving behind even their blankets and living: on condensed foods. The elks are entirely different from those found in the Rockies or in Alas ka, Their antlers are of enormous size, several being found which measured nearly 60 inches between the outer prongs. There are only a few of them, and they are in a country that wilt hold them safe for many years. In September, when Prof. Elliott was within a few miles of massive Mount Olympus, strange rumbling- noises were heard. He believes that somewhere in the mountain's side a great glacier is continually dropping icebergs into some fcuge abyss and that the noises came from falling ice. He does not believe anyone has yet reached the base of Olympus, much less climbed it, In Lake Crescent the party caught some wonderful fish. A Beardsley trout weighing 1314 pounds was caught, and another weighing 20 pounds. A new species of trout discovered has been named Southerland. Prof. Elliott asserts that the Olympic mountains are an inexhaustible store house for the naturalist, and is well pleased with his trip. He is now in Fort Angeles, boxing his specimens, which will be forwarded to Chicago. NEW YOKK HOitsFsilOW. Few Society People Attend the Sale of Seats. New Tork, Nov. 9. The annual horse show box sale, which took place in the Madison Garden Concert hall yesterday was anything but an enthusiastic affair Attendance was light, bids were small, bidders parting with additional 15 and 10 offers as if they were giving up pounds of flesh, and many of the upper boxes were not even offered for sale Most of the bidding was done by agents, although there were many so- THE SIMPLEST CURE FOR IN DIGESTION, As Well as the Safest and Cheapest The new medical discovery, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, digest the food In stead of making the worn out stomach, do all the work, give it a much needed rest, and a cure of dyspepsia is the nat ural result. Tou get nourishment and rest at the same time because these Tablets will thoroughly digest all wholesome food taken into the stomach whether the etomach works or not. A cure is certain to result because the digestive organs are given a chance to rest and recover their natural vigor and tone. The Tab lets are then no longer required. To show the manner in which the remedy acts on different people and how quickly and effecutally it cures stomach troubles we present a few recent cases. Mr.J. O. Wondly of Peoria, 111., writes I was unable to eat anvthing but the plainest food and even that often dis tressed me. but since using one box of btuart s Dyspepsia Tablets I can eat anything and everything I want.

o o n I) II o c O o a o Q r o o o o O o o WW Peace, it is of vital im h j clety folks present. Neither George nor Edn-in Gould was there, and, for tha first time in many years, there was not a bid in the name of the family for a. box at the horse show. Frank Crane was auctioneer, and the lifelessness of the bidding made him sad. When he offered the first choice of the arena boxes for sale a weary voice said "$200." It was some one's agent. Then by slow and hard stages, the bidding went up to $410, at which figure it was sold to Mr. D. A. Loring, who selected box 52. A representative of J. Edward Ad dicks bid a similar amount for box 2o. That was the highest bid obtained. Four years ago George Gould paid $800 for first choice, and the man who ob tained a box for less than $500 consid ered himself lucky. The total of yesterday's sale was $15,790. a falling off of nearly $6,000 from last year's sale. NEW LINSEED OIL TRUST. Outside Plants Will Be Taken Into Control the Market. Chicago, Nov. 0. The Unseed Oil trust will be reorganized next week and will take in sufficient outside plants to control the market. Three of the largest outside plants are in Chicago. The capital stock of the reorganized Linseed Oil company, with the new plants to be included, will amount to $17,500,000 preferred stock as a bonus. Of this amount $7,500,000 will go to the present stockholders, whose holdings are thereby scaled somewhat more than one-half, which seems a liberal propo sition for the stockholders when the present low value of the shares is -con. sidered. The underwriting of the remaining $10,000,000 is to be assumed by strong financial interests connected with, the Central Trust company. The sum will be used in the purchase of the addi tional plants and in paying off a float ing indebtedness. DESERT THE SHIP. Nearly 200 Men Leave the Buffalo at Norfolk Yards. ?Y,T2rk- 3srv- 9 It has transpired that 133 of the enlisted men of the cruiser Buffalo deserted after the orders were re ceived at the navy yard directing the ship to sail for Manila with supplies, stores and reinforcements for Admiral Dewey There have been many complaints on the part of the enlisted men of crueltv in sufficient food and general harsh treat ment by the officers. The deserter sav that as soon as thev were placed on the Buffalo they were told that they were in the service for three years, and an addi tional two years if the of fleers saw fit to keep them. Then began wholesale desertions. In one night 110 men "went over the elde as the jackies call leaving the ship with out leave. They jumped the stone wall surrour.iing the navy yard and disappear ed. The condition of affairs on the Buffalo was reimrted to the navy department, and orders were issued sending her to sea im mediately. It was said at the navy yard that 50 of the deserters have gone to Washington to nresent their grievances to Secretary PA Y FOR PEW SEATS. New Tork 'Worshipers Are '.Taken to Task by Paulist Fathers New Tork, Nov. 9. Members of the congregation of the Paulist Fathers' church. Sixtieth street and Columbus avenue, were notified today that they must pay hereafter for their seats in the church. After giving directions as to the purchase of tickets the notice says: "Some people, notwithstanding: these simple regulations, seem to fancy they may pay just what they please and sit where they will. Such a course upsets all our calculations and puts to great inconvenience both regular pewholders and ushers as well. This is not in good form, to say the least. To take any seat one chooses, without regard for the prearranged rights of others, shows very bad manners. Still, some take a seat as coolly as if they were a frozen pond in December; you can walk all over them with perfect safety it has not the slightest effect. The effort to remove them to another vacant seat is as great a contract as to remove an iceberg." Those who do not rent seats regularly are expected to pay 5 cents at the 6 and 7 o'clock masses and at the other hours 10 cents tor a- seat. THE SUNPOWER To Bo Used by Tesla in Trans mitting Electric Energj Across the Universe To Give a Practical Test. AIR BECOMES MEDIUM With Force Created in America Inventor Says Machinery Can Be Bun in For eign Countries. Tsew Tork, Nov. 9. A practical test Is soon to be made of the -wonderful discov ery of Nikola Tesla of sl means by which electrical fores may be transmitted through the air to any point on the sur face of the earth Mr. Tesla Is now busy at work in his laboratory in East Houston street perfect ing the details for the trial. That force can be bo transmitted and that his ma chine can furnish It in sufficient degree to be of vast commercial importance Mr. Tesla say3 is beyond the siage of experi ment and theory It is a demonstrated re ality. He only wishes that before a pub lic exhibition is given every necessary part should be thoroughly thought out and arrangred for, so that there can be no pos sible hitch in accomplishing results. In all the marvelous demonstrations Mr. Tesla has made he has never once failed to do what he proposed to do, and the reason for this is he always perfects his arrangements to the last minutia before attempting to give an exhibition. The test which is soon to be made will be in the United States. If that proves successful Mr. Tesla proposes to do what at first Ulush seems impossible. He will transmit electric force, probably to the extent of 50, OM) horse-power, from a sta tion in this country to the Creusot works in France. This is one of the largest unmaking and steel plants in the world, and Mr. Tesla has already arranged with the owners for the trial when the success of the one in the United States has been attained. Following this, if the result should be favorable, and Mr. Tesla has no doubt of it, an exhibition will be made between this country and the Paris ex position in 1900. Astonishing as the? announcement of Mt. Teslas invention showed it to be, it gave only a faint hint of its far-reaching possi bilities. The ability to harness natural forces and transmit their energy to any part of the world is of the most tremend ous commercial importance, yet this prac tical inventor, who deals in mathematical facta, in watts, centimeters and amperes, is also a philosopher and sees an ethical effect of his discovery. In it he sees a force working for universal peace good fellowship among the nations. "Kor," he says, "wrill a nation which realizes that another nation is able to furnish it tha power to run its entire industrial system offend the source?" And so by vastly in creasing the mutual dependence of the peoples of the earth Nikoia Tesla may put into operation a peace measure which will make the late manifesto of the czar a fee ble, inaudible whisper in the auditorium, of the world. Though the general outline of Mr. Tes la's discovery has been given, the inventor today gave the first explanation of the in ception and progress of his work. "As far back as 1SKI." he said, T de clared in my lectures that the great thing to be sought was some means of utilizing the energy of the sun. Here are the earth and other planets spinning along through space and driven and held in place by the same illimitable, continuous force. There must be srme means found of making use of it. With the idea then expressed of making the sun do our work, I set about discovering a way. A little later I experimented in tele graphing through the air and demon Ftrated that it could be done at certain distances, as is now shown by systems in use in Kurope. "Then the idea came to me of making the transmission of electricity through the air commercially Important. While at the World's fair in Chicago, Prof. Helm hols, the famous German scientist, called, on me and I considered It would be a good chance to ask him what he thought of the possibility of transmitting electricity through the air sufficient to make it avail able for power. He agreed it would be feasible, provided an apparatus could be constructed which would produce a high enough potential. There was the obstacle which I had recognized and sought to overcome. The highest force which had then been obtained was from 200.000 to 3"0,otH) volts, but in order to make the Idea of any use several million, volts were nec essary. "A machine to do this was therefore es sential. I began to experiment on one, and have obtained the following results: "1. The perfection of an apparatus capa ble of producing the immense pressure of S.Oi.000 volts. The capacity has been attained in my own laboratory and It will be quite possible to attain lOO.Ooo.OuO volts just as easily. "2. This tremendous pressure, the pres sure of lightning, can be handled with absolute safety. The currents bo produced evinced the property of passing through air, and ex periments showed that the air became a conductor. "4. When the air was Tariffed the con ducting power increased, so rapidly that when ra ritled enough it conducted practi cally like copper wire. "With these facts established, it was easily demonstrated that unlimited power can be transmitted through an air strat um such as exists in altitudes which have been reached by balloons, as shown by exact records.' This is the general statement of the re sults of,Teslu's experiments. It will be seen, therefore, that instead of the two wires or cables which are used in trans mitting electricity in the ordinary way, he used two natural mediums the strat um of rarified air and the earth. They cost nothing and are continuous over the entire earth, making the distance to which elect ric energy may be transmitted un limited. As to the practical working of his ap paratus, Mr. Tesla said: "The mathematical details have all been studied and found perfectly practicable. I have consulted friends who are engineers, and am an engineer myself, and I am as sure of the working of them as If I were to build a bridge. A steel wire has been made which will support its own weight for 1 miles. Balloons have been sent to altitudes far higher than it will be neces sary to operate. It will not take a -irA larger than a spider's web to convev the current to the balloon, though the voltage at the point of escape in the apparatus in the balloon would be millions. Of course in use there would be several wires, but that would be to insure against acci dents." "BEFORE BABY IS BOUlT' A Valuable Little Book of Interest to All Women Bent Free.

Champion Bob Fitz simmons has a valet. Everybody that went to eee the actor-pugilist in the "Mulligan Guards' Ball" at the Alham bra yesterday afternoon didn't see the boy in brass buttons and gold braid, but he was behind the scenes just the same, and scampering around obeying his lanky master just as all volets axe supposed to do. It is the first season that Bob has ever thought that an understudy was necessary. "But you see," Bob explain ed, "my duties on the stage are becom ing more exacting, and it's a cinch I am getting to be too popular to lace up my own shoes and do things like that. And there you are." As for the valet, he Is a positive won der. The Prince of Wales would think he was more valuable than a Tod Sloan If he should ever get even a monocle glimpse at him. He is gold braided all over, and brilliant buttons make his suit of blue look jaunty. On each side of his coat collar the word "valet" is emblazoned in gilt capital letters. Bob cays he's a capital fellow. All the chorus girls are after him. Fitz has launched off on another an gle. In his previous shows his appear ance on the stage has been signalized only by the regular bag-punching and sparring exhibition. But in the "Mul ligan Guards' Ball" he assumes the role of the actor, the real article. He says a few lines, and he doesn't tolerate any prompter off In the wings, either. It is certainly a thrilling moment where Fitz' bit of acting sandwiches it self in between a comedy sketch and a soubrette's song. The scene is a bar room where cases of empty champagne cases are stacked high, but where beer is served over the bar. A newsboy shuffles In and" rattles off a little ragtime turn, and Fitz. who is there, gives him a $1 bill to take home to his invalid mother. Just at that mo ment the father, who is a barrel-house product, drops in and takes the money away from his son. Of course Fitz sees him do it, pounces upon Jiim, and with a vigorous punch sends the drunkard sprawling upon the floor. The audience sets up an appreciative cheer, and Fitz, bowing his thanks, skoots out between the scenery, calls his valet and gets ready for the next act. In the last act comes his bag-punching exhibition, which is really good and much better than it was last year. He gives It the regulation finale by ham mering the leather out Into the crowd. Then he spars three short rounds with "Yank" Kenny. It was a clever little set-to yesterday, and "Yank" showed himself a speedy sparrer. Bob got in on him rather hard once, and "Yank's" left eye is now looking a little the worse for wear. RANKS WITH BEN HUB. Hew Novel Issued In New York About Judas Iscariot. New York, Nov. 9. An extraordinary novel is about to be published by Dr. William A. Hammond, formerly sur geon general of the United States army. Its title is "The Son of Perdition." The hero of it Is Judas Iscariot and the he roine is Mary Magdalene, with whom Judas is represented as being in love. Judas, as described in the novel, was a rich man. holding offices of great im portance under the Roman government. He possessed a peculiar power, the na ture of which he himself did not under stand, but which we often today would call mesmeric. By means of this power be was ahle so to influence the Emperor Tiberius to appoint Pontius .Pilate to the gov ernorship of Judea. Incidentally, the in teresting fact is brought out that, as developed by Ir. Hammond's research es, Pontius Pilate was a Spaniard. Judas is described as a particularly handsome man. It Is on account of Ju das' love for Mary, and not for the 30 pieces of silver, that he betrays the lord, according to the novel. In historical accuracy the work will rank with General Lew Wallace's "Ben Hur." KEWANEE'S LONG SLEEPER Mrs. Havens Relapses Again Into a Sleep or a Trance. Kewanee. 111.. Nov. 9.

During her former sleep she ex perienced no sensation during the entire period, and was, to all appearances, life- The doctors have feared the present re lapse, and are of the opinion that it will last even longer than the first attack.

Institution Chicago, Nov. 9. Rev. Riley M. Lit tle of Chicago was In Monmouth, 111., yesterday to offer in behalf of James Law, a wealthy citizen of this city, a donation of $50,000 to the trustees of Monmouth college, on the condition that they raise a like amount by commence ment day next June. The money is to go to the endowment of the chairs of literature and sociology, now occupied by Mrs. Jennie Logue Campbell and Prof. Russell Graham. The proposition was accepted by the trustees, who will proceed at once to carry out their part of the conditions. Mr. Law gave $1,000 to the new auditor ium of Monmouth college, dedicated in June, 1897. A FORTUNE AND A TITLE. Mrs. Druoe Is After Them Permitted to Exhume Father-in-Law's Coffin. London. Nov. 9. The court of appeals has confirmed the order of the probate court permitting Mrs. Anna Maria Druoe to exhume the body of her husband's father, Thomas C Druce, who is interred in the Highgate cemetery. This is her first step in attempting to establish her claim to the great Druce estate and also so prove that her son. now in Australia, is the rightful Duke of Portland. The court of appeal affirmed the order of the probate court by declaring that the order of that court for the examination of the body of Druce was an unappealable order. Mrs. Druce maintains that the coffin marked "T. C. Druce" contains only lime, and not the bodv of her father-in-law, as has hitherto been believed. Her case is based upon her contention that her father-in-law was alive many years after the burial of the coffin, which is record ed as having taken place in 1804. Goulds Lease the Kemp Mansion.

C, Resulting in the Killing OF ONE WHITE MAX And the Wounding of a Num ber of Negroes. Both Sides Armed and More Trouble Expected. Greenwood, S. C, Nov.' 9. Intense ex citement prevailed here all day yester day because of the shooting of Mr. Boaz Eth ridge, one of the election judges at Phoenix, and subsequent riot between the whites and blacks at that place In which T. P. Tolbert and several negroes were mortally wound ed. The negroes had a separate box in charge of Tolbert In which those who could not vote in the regular boxes could deposit certificates that they were not allowed to vote for R. R. Tolbert for congress, which certificates he ex pected to use in bis contest for Lati mere's seat. Mr.Ethridge attempted to take charge of the box and was shot dead by one of the negroes, who were crowding around It. Immediately the few white men who could procure arms, or had them, opened fire upon the crowd. The whites, several hundred strong, are well arm ed and determined, and If the leaders in the trouble are caught no power on earth can save them from a lynching. At dark everything was quiet at Phoenix, with the whites masters of the situation, but the negroes are supposed to be congregated about two miles dis tant. Late last evening John R. Tol bert was dangerously wounded and his little nephew, son of R. L. Tolbert, who was in the buggy with him, was in stantly killed, while on their way home. While a party of white men, from Greenwood were returning from Phoe nix last night they were fired on from ambush and M. J. Younger, Crosswell Fleming and a Mr. Miller were badly wounded.

No baby that ever came to this city has attract ed such wide spread attention as the diminutive bit of humanity that has just been born to Mr. and Mrs. George F. King, of No. 309 Clarkson street. Visitors are numerous and the little one has been looked upon curiously by the young men, lovingly by the young ladies and admiringly by the older folks Meanwhile the father and mother re ceive the congratulations and gaze upon the midget youngster with proud paren tal eyes. King is a shoemaker. He is employed in a factory and has a small but comfortable home. The little one was weighed with its clothes on and proved to weigh a little less than two pounds. It is perfectly formed and healthy, and the attending physician says that barring unforeseen trouble it will live and eventually grow to the normal size. The mother is a large and strong wo man, and when the babe is lying in bed beside her it seems more Ilka a doll than a real live child. 0, YE OF LITTLE FAITH! But when an honest man 65 years of age and who has lived in our city for thirty years and owns his own property speaks, we must give ear to his words and have faith in what he recommends. For that reason we publish for the ben efit of Topeka people the statement of A. H. West, 211 North street, Saginaw, Mich., as follows: "My back was very lame; was quite nervous at times, and my general health was seriously Im paired. Some time ago I was induced to try Morrow's Kid-ne-oids of which I had heard a great deal, and I procured the remedy. I had not much faith in it, as I previously had tried a large number of kidney pills and kidney rem edies without any particular benefit, but I want to say I got simply wonder ful relief within two days after com mencing the use of Kid-ne-olds,4 and that I am now entirely cured. "I regard my case as a severe test of the medicine, as so many others had failed to help me. My advice to kidney sufferers is to give Morrow's Kid-ne-oids a thorough trial and find relief as I did." Mr. West had no faith at first, but the assurance of his friend induced him to try once again. The result is given above. Let Mr. West be your friend and if you suffer with backache, sleep lessness, nervousness, etc., take his ad vice and use Morrow's Kid-ne-oids and get cured. Mr. West is a grateful man and will be glad to write you how much he was benefitted by the use of Mor row's Kid-ne-oids, If you will enclose a stamp for reply He does not con found Morrow's Kid-ne-oids with any kind of kidney pills; they are not pills at all but Yellow Tablets which are put up in wooden boxes and sell at 50 cents. Morrow's Liver Lax are very small red pellets and cure constipation: they sell at 25 cents a box. Both of these reme dies are for sale by all first class drug gists and at Swift Holliday's drug store, or will be mailed by the manu facturers on receipt of price.

It has become a familiar spectacle at fashionable wed dings of late to see the fair bride tow eling several Inches above the bride groom, and some times forced to gaze meekly at the crown of his head. That was the case with Mrs. Dave Hennen Morris, Mrs. George Vanderbilt, Marie Churchill, the Countess of Craven ar.d Miss Whitney, and was a fashion also set by the young Duchess of Marl borough, who was an inch taller than her English lord. It i a decided reversal of the old or der of things and has given rise to no end of speculation and comment. That women are growing taller with startling rapidity is shown by the testi mony of the representatives of the wo men's colleges. Dear. Smith of Barnard college said that, while it was her fixed conviction that the average height of the Ameri can girl had much increased during the last score of years. Barnard, unfor tunately, has no gymnasium, and there fore she could give no statistics. "But," added Dean Smith, "Bryn Mawr has kept a most comprehensive and accurate set of statistics on this point, and the physical culture charts at this college prove beyond contradic tion that the American girl is today at least two or three inches taller than she was twenty years ago. "The exercises would doubtless have a tendency to increase the height of women," said Dr. Smith. "I shall watch this growth in stature in the future with a great deal of interest." The fashionable tailors and modistes one and all say that the Increase in height of the American girl is marked. Said Mr. Samuel Haas of 19 West Thirty-first street: "There is a marked increase In the height of our patrons, particularly no ticeable among young women now in their second and third seasons. It is not at all -uncommon for us to take measures of a young woman who is five feet ten inches tall, with a bust measure of thirty-eight Inches, and an absolutely perfect figure, according to ths proportions called artistic. "I notice the increase in stature Is apparent in the younger women." VAUDEVILLE CARS. Through Trains Running Out of New York Have Theater Cars. New York, Nov. 9. Several of the through trains running out of New York are soon to be equipped with luxurious vaudeville cars fitted up with all the accessories of a regular theater. This startling Innovation, which marks a new era in the comforts of railroad travel, will first be tried in the Lehigh Valley system and the Nickel-Plate railroad. The first theatrical car will be run on the Black Diamond Express on April 1, 1S99. One of these cars is now being built for John F. Harley, a well known theatrical manager, who will provide the entertainments. The various shows given will consist of vaudeville- performances and con certs, the stage being too small for all but the simpler theatrical productions. Contracts have already been signed with several railroad companies which make it possible to give these perform ances, charging about the same prices as are asked in the regular theaters. The novelty of going to the theater while being whirled across the country day or night Is expected to appeal strongly to the majority of travelers. The idea of adapting the ordinary day coach in this way was suggested to Mr. H&rley by the custom of the Christian Endeavor and other religious societies of holding services while en route to their conventions.

The earl has a splendid old country mansion, St. Giles House, in Dorset shire. He owns about 21,000 acres of land. PERISHED IN QUICKSAND. E.Weidman.While Starving to Death, "Writes of His Agony. Coudersport, Pa., Nov. 9. The body of Eugene Weidman was found today in a nearly erect position In a swamp near East Hebron. He had sunk to his hips in a bed of quicksand, and alongside the corpse was found the following note, which the unfortunate man had scribbled while he was in the mire: "I am sinking and starving, and can't get any water. I can't yell any more, and I am going to pray, for my end is near." When the body was found Weidman had been missing for five days. His tongue stuck out and his head had fallen back, the face looking skyward. A party of woodsmen passing along the road In the vicinity of the spot where Weidman's body was found heard some one calling aloud, and tt is proba ble that it was Weidman. When the victim of the treacherous sand left home he intended to stake off a plot of ground in the forest, where he expected to build a home for his fam ily. Mr. Trea Produces "The Musketeers.'

Nov. 9 Richard Mans field has had another squauble. rfne great mental gymnast, as the famous actor has come to be called by mem bers of his profession, put on tne gloves a few nights ago with none other than Israel Zansrwill, the distinguished nov elist lecturer, essayist and critic. It "all occurred at the Garde ntheater Mr Zangwiil, after witnessing the per formance of -'Cyrano de Bergerac was fken behind the scenes and introduced to Mr Mansfield. It was the first time that the two had met. They greeted each other cordially. "Weil. Mr. ZangTvill," asked Mr. Mansfieid, "how did you like my inter pretation of Cyrano?" The novelist couched. To you want my honest opinion, and shall I be frank?" he inquire!. 'Why, yes; of course." replied the ac tor in a tone which betrayed astonish ment at the question. "Weil, then, Mr. Mansfield, I consider you a reallv great actor." Mr. Mans field lock".! pleased. "And I think." continued Zangwiil. "that your ork in the first acts of Rostand's play is ad mirable; indeed, unsurpassable. But." and Mr. Zanewill said in his peculiar, calm, self-satisfied way, "I don't think you hold the mirror up to nature in the last act." The miphty Richard flew into a rage as 3uick'v as he makes his change from Ir. J-kyil to Mr. Hyde. What." he ejaculated, glaring fVreely at Zane-wiU. "do you mean that, sir?" "Most assuredly I do. And if you will permit me to add. sir. Coquelin does the ciosintr scenes more artistically, more con :cTen;iv than you." By this time Mansfield's intensely sensi tive nature was aroused to its highest pitch. "Coquelin V he said. "Coquelin! Why. we can give Coquelin and Irvine and all of yuur so-called great European actors point that thr-y never knew before. Co-3u-lin! You. sir. dare to compare my 'Cyrano. the result of months of arduous study, to that of Coquelin: You dare 10 tell me to my face that he does the end belter than I! How dare you criticise my acting-, anyway, sir?" "Why. you asked my opinion. Mr. Mans field. said Zangwiil composedly. The actor made no reply. but paced wild ly up and down the stage. Zangwiil walk ed quietly toward Mansfield, and. proffer ing his hand, politely bade the actor good r :t ht. The latter brushed the extendea arm aside, rushed into his dressing room ar.i slammed the door. The n-e!ist, smiling: and not at all ruf fled, left the theater.

The case of Carl Beunerheiden, aged 14, who in one night lost his speech and mental facul ties, is puzzling the physicians. Carl is the son of a widow, who says the youth went to bed one night some months ago. after studying- an hour or more, and that when she went to wake him in the morning he was in the condi tion he has been ever since.

Milwaukee. Xnr. 9. A decision of considerable importance to bicycle man ufacturers was handed down by Judge Seaman in the United States court, yesterday afternoon. The court holds that anyone who wishes may engage 5n the manufacture of wooden rims used for bicycles, as they are not now a patented article. The decision sas rendered in dismis sing the complaint in th? suit of the Indiana Xovelty Manufacturing compa re against the Crocker Chair company of Pheboyean and the Smith Manufac turing company. The court finds wood used in the man ufacture of bicycle rims long before the patent was issued that the Indiana cora- tany now holds, and. consequently-, the lea was not original with the patentee.

It is reported here that the Italian government was requftJ to Join in presenting a note to "the fmted States regarding the control of the Philippines. No information has been given as to the exact tenor of the proposed note, but it is generally un derstood that it would be a request for leniency toward Spain, with perhaps an implied threat of intervention. The announcement is made semi-ofR-cially by Italy that Spain has little hope of gaining any advantage in re taining the Philippines and that the best she will be able to do is to com promise the matter with the United States.

SENATE MAY CHANGE. Indications That Upper House Will Pass to Republicans. "Washington, Nov. 9. The election re turns establish with certainty that the United States senate will have a Re publican majority after March 4, next. The present party divisiion of the sen ate is: Republicans 2; Democrats 34; Populists 6: Silver Republicans 6. This was changed prior to yesterday's vote by a Republican gain of two. viz: Mc Comas of Maryland, who will succeed Gorman, and Simon of Oregon, who is elected to fill a vacancy. Of the present Republican total of 45, the terms of sev en senators expire March 4, next, leav ing 38 hold-over Republicans. To this number the elections of yesterday add ten Republicans surely elected and three probably elected, making a total of 43, or two more than a majority over Dem ocrats, Populists and Silver Republi cans. There are 21 Democratic hold over senators and to this number yes terday's elections add four certain and one probable, giving a total of 25 votes. The Populist and Silver Republican holdovers number 8. and this was in creased yesterday by one, practically sure. Five state legislatures appear to be much in doubt, viz: Xebraska, West Virginia, Montana, Indiana and Wash ington and are cot included in figuring totals. BOTH CLAIM THE HOUSE. And Present Figures to Back Up Their Claims. Washington, Nov. 9. 1 a. m. Chair man Babcock. of the Republican con gressional committee, has made the fol lowing statement to the Associated Press: "While I am satisfied that the Re publicans will control the house of rep resentatives in the Fifty-sixth congress, it is impossible at this hour to indicate what our majority in the house will be. "Thus far we have no definite returns from Illinois, Wisconsin. Minnesota. Iowa or Kansas. Ohio has elected 15 Republicans certainly and two districts seem to be in doubt. From Michigan the returns Indicate a solid Republican delegation. Representative Hawley i3 elected in Texas. Vincent Boering is re-elected in the Eleventh Kentucky district and Samuel J. Pugh is probably elected in the X'inth Kentucky. The election of George M. Davidson in the Eighth Kentucky is in doubt with the chances seemingly in favor of his elec tion. Advices from Maryland show that we have elected four Republicans cer tainly. Xineteen members of the dele gation from Xew York state and per haps more will be Republicans. Fischer, of the Fourth Xew Tork district, is the only member we have elected in Greater Xew York. The election of Cochran in the Xineteenth Xew York and of Ma hany in the Thirty-second district is in dcubt. From Pennsylvania we have thus far received meager returns but the indications are that we have sus tained some losses there. Unofficial ad vices from western states show that we have more than held our own and my conviction is that we shall control the house by a safe majority." The figures referred to by Mr. Bab cock were contained in his prediction that the Republicans would have a ma jority over all of about 25. Secretary Kerr of the Democratic congressional committee has been work ing on returns received at Democratic congressional headquarters. To the As-S'-x-iated Press, Secretary Kerr said: "The Republicans have iost control of the house of representatives. We will have from 1SS to 190 members and will organize the house of the 5?th congress. The majority of the opposition will be from 15 to 20 over the Republicans and perhaps more. Our advices indicate Democratic gains in some of the states, as follows: Alabama 2: Illinois 5: Iowa. 1: Kentucky 3: Maryland 2: Massachus etts 2: Missouri 2: Xew Jersey 2: Xew Tork 6: Xorth Carolina 2: Pennsylvania 6; Virgina 3; West Virgina 1. This is a total of "7. "One district In Delaware is doubtful with the chances in favor of the Demo crats." In figuring a gain of three in Vir ginia, Secretary Kerr includes two dis tricts which elected Democratic con gressmen in 19S who were unseated by the present house. Begg3' German Salve.

SPAIN'S DUE BILLS Are Issued- to Her Soldiers Instead of Money. New Tork, Nov. 9. A dispatch to the Herald from Havana says: General Blanco will leave Havana November 20. Preparations are being hurried forward for his departure, and he will doubtless go from here to Bar celona, leaving General Parrado to close up matters relating to the final evacua tion of the island. Residents here are fearful that serious disorders will arise before the city has been evacuated by the Spanish troops. These, it is believed, will be brought about by the irritation of the soldiers at the continued delay of their pay. Six, eight in some cases, ten months are due them and they claim that they should at least be paid in part before return ing home. In order to satisfy the out cry, the government is issuing to each man shipped, a due note, collectable in Spain for the amount in arrears. This does not, however, satisfy the soldiers, who say at the close of the last war a similar plan was adopted, but no pay ment followed, the due notes being re pudiated. The lowest estimate of the sum due is J5.000.000, Spanish gold. But whatever may be the condition of the Spanish soldier, the Spanish officer is not returned with pockets empty. He has not depended upon his pay for support, but has seized what opportunity offered. Those returning from a long campaign on the Jucaro-Moron trocha have brought their wealth with them. One would think, therefore, it had been a campaign of mer chants, not soldiers. In the cities it has been same, oniy in greater degree. In one case, two years ago. a Spanish officer ar rived with scarcely a possession except his uniform. His pay has been in arrears most of the time, but his wealth is now estimated at more than $200.uai. and he is the owner of some of the finest houses in the cuv. The officers themselves are remarkably frank-in regard to the matter. They ad mit they have done no fighting, and that their campaign in the country has been merely one of loot. They had no desire, to end the war: on the contrary, in many instances, they encouraged the insurgents and sold them arms and ammunition. "When Gomez was reported to march one way they wou'd march another. A few shots tired at a fleeing Cuban would be magnified into a great victory- Xobodv was hurt by the deception, and much honor, crosses, promotions and profit fol lowed. They claim that had the war against the insurgents been carried on with proper military vigor the revolution would have been crushed in three months. A CALL FOR NURSES And Yellow Fever Doctors Comes Up From Havana. New York, Nov. 9. A dispatch to the Herald from Havana says: Dr. Brunner has written a strong letter to Surgeon General Wyman of the United States marine service, urg ing the importance of the immediate presence in Havana of competent yel low fever physicians and nurses. Dr. Brunner. in unmeasured terms, con demns the policy of giving incompetent Cuban physicians charge of those Americans connected with the quarter master's and commissary departments who fall ill. Steward, quartermaster's clerk, who has yellow fever, is very low. His re covery is almost impossible. Should he die an investigation is probable and if it is had it may show that his life was the forfeit of the neglect of those who should have preserved it. DR. JOHN HALL'S CHURCH To Have New Minister Before the Year Ends. Xew Tork, Xov. 9. The Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church, over which the Rev. John Hall presided for many years, will probably have a new minister "before the new year, although many members are in favor of waiting until the Rev. Er. Con nell. the eminent London preacher, returns to his pulpit from his present visit to the missions of Japan and th1 islands of Asia. Nearly every Presbyterian preacher of prominence in America and Great Brit tain has been commended to the Fifth Avenue session. The majority of the church members favor the Rev. rr. Con rell. who the session recently nominated to the vacancy, subject to the congrega tion's approval. NEW YORK PLAT HOUSES. Joseph Jefferson Presents Rip Van Winkle, May Irwin Has a Comedy. Xew Tork. Nov. 9 The theatrical kaleidoscope have taken on a new set of dramatic combinations this week. Four playhouses change their bills, and several interesting novelties are in ac tive preparation. The first real farce comedy star of the season- will flash before the local public at the Bijou tomorrow night, where jolly May Irwin will appear in a rew piece specially written bor her by Glen MacDonough called "Kate Kip, Buyer." It has a consistent story to tell and its action is so arranged that Miss Ir win can introduce her specialties and songs ofthe latter she has an abund ant budget without any positie jar to the unities. For the last two weeks of his success ful engagement at the Fifth Avenue. Joseph Jefferson will revive "Rip Van Winkle." His impersonation of the happy-go-lucky vagabond of the Cat skills is a household word and calls for no adidtional comment. The Casino will remain dark until Sat urday night, when "A Dangerous Maid" will be produced for the first time in this country. Largely founded on the Viennese play of "Heisses Blunt, "which has been one of the standard successes of Austria and Oermany for the last two years. Mr. Sidney Rosenfeld in his adaptation has enlarged tis scope and rrovided additional opportunities for the strong company gathered together by Messrs. Lederer and McLellan. On a few char.ees are needed to make "A Colonial Girl" a distinct feature of E. H. Sothem's interesting repertoire. Its romantic story will strongly appeal to the patrons of the Lyceum theater, where the popular young star will con tinue to present the piece for the re mainder of his engagement, which comes to an end in two weeks. It was originally intended that Annie Russell's engagement at the Garrick theater should be limited to four weeks, but the demand to see her beautifully artistic rendering of the title role of "Catherine" has proved so great that the translation of Lavendan's comedy will be continued until November 2S. The cast supporting Miss Russell is one of superior excellence. SPAIN HAS ENOUGH. Will Not Fight Again Under Any Circumstances. New Tork. Nov. 9. A dispatch to the work from Madrid says: General Corea. the minister of war. has issued an authoritative contradiction of the reports of the naval and milita ry preparations. The Duke of Almodovar. the foreign rninister assured the foreign ambassa 1 dor that even if the Paris commission should fail to agree upon a treaty, the negotiations would continue with the assistance of French diplomacy or di rectly with Washington, as Spain em phatically wishes for peace. Seen ihe st T"9 .d Ycq Haw O'wavs BorS LONDON TIEV OF IT. Declares That the United States Must Not Retreat on the Philip pine Question. London, Nov. 9. The Times says thl3 morning: Whatever may be the result of the elections the United States administra tion has gone too far to retreat on the Philippine question. The American re ply may perhaps modify the 6riginal proposals, but there is no doubt the main demand will be pressed to a suc cessful conclusion. It is impossible to feel sympathy for Spain, and we trust that on the finan cial side the Democrats will show them selves generous towards the fallen enemy. After expressing satisfaction that "future misunderstandings will be avoided by the immediate adoption of a section which is ultimately inevitable," the Times says: "We trust that Amer ica has learned to appreciate the fact that commercial restitution and im perial expansion do not thrive together. But it must be confessed that our sym pathy with the Americans in their new course suffers a great strain by such blunders as the order for the regula tions to trade in Porto Rico that reads as if borrowed from the British navi gation acts which the Americans found so oppressive." The editorial concludes by expressing the opinion that the new policy and the promising economic situation will pre vent any recurrence of an acute cur rency crisis. ROOSEVELT NOTIFIED. Many Congratulations Flow in on the Successful Candidate. Oyster Bay, L. I., Nov. 9. Colonel Roosevelt was notified last night of his victory by a telegram from Chairman Odeil of the Republican state committee. Colonel Roosevelt was at his house at Cove Neck surrounded by his family and some friends. Colonel Roosevelt was congratulated by those present and during the night and up to the time the telegraph office closed there was a flood of congratulatory tele grams for the successful candidate. Colonel Roosevelt said, after all doubts as to his election had been removed: "I appreciate the honor very deeply, and I appreciate even more deeply the responsibility involved in the honor. I shall do all in my power to redeem every promise I have made, expressed or im plied. I am a good Republican and I be lieve I can serve the Republican party by doing everything I can to help it serve the state. I shall strive to administer the office of governor in the interests of the whole people. It is by so doing that I can best show my appreciation of the sup port given me dv tne muepenatms anu Democrats who have themselves put the welfare of the state first, declining to fol low those of their leaders who in this crisis either ranged themselves outright on the side of the forces of dishonesty or else supported them in effect by standing aside from the real contest." SAILORS ARE HEALTHY. Iiow Death Kate Among Uncle Sam's Navy Fighters in the Last War. -WasViinsrton. Nov. 9. The report of the surgeon general of of the United States navy will show a most amazing condition of health among the officers and men of that branch of the service throughout the entire war, and it will be a very strong recommendation for people to enter the navy as a health re sort. The average numerical strength of the navy for the past five months was 26.102. The total deaths during that period were S5. Eighteen men were killed in battle or died from wounds, 11 were killed by accident and 56 died of disease, making the death rate 10.41 per 1.000 for everything and S.13 per 1,000 for disease. There is no village in the country that can show such a record, not even the health resorts along the seashore and at the springs. Nor has the navy ever shown so low a rate for a corresponding period, which is extraordinary considering the hard ships and the suffering endured by the officers and sailors on the monitors, torpedo boats and other vessels of the blockading fleet in the tropics. Very often the temperature in the engine rooms of the vessels reached 120 Fah renheit. During the bombardment of the batteries along the Cuban coast and San Juan and during the race with Cer vera's fleet, many firemen, oilers, coal passers and others who worked below decks and in the turrets were overcome bv the heat. But the jackies have a wav of curing that infirmity. When a man tumbles they turn a stream of salt water from the hose upon him. and it very soon brings him to. It is better than smellina- salts. The health of the naval force at Ma nila is almost miraculous. The sick re ports show that on the vessels of Ad miral Dewey's squadron the men are in betted physical condition than they have been at any time or any place for years. That is. of course, owing to the extra precautions that have been taken by their officers to protect them from the climate and from the tempta ions to violate the laws of hygiene. MRS.LESLIECARTER SHORT Files a Bankrurjtcy Petition With Liabilities Over $6C,000. New York. Nov. P. Caroline D. Carter better known as Mrs. Leslie Carter, the actress, has filed a petition in bank ruptcy, showing liabilities of $S3.i73. She presented no assets except wearing apparel valued at $200. This formal acknowledgement of her inability to pay her debts is the cul mination of Mrs. Carter's financial dif ficulties, which have extended ever sev eral years. Two years ago. when Mrs. Carter was summoned in supplementary proceed ings by Henry Furvogel. at which time many of the present debts were due. she was playing in "The Heart of Mary land," in which she had made her first hit. Her feat in swinging from the clapper of the bell, by which .she si lenced its alarm sound, thus saving her lover's life, was one of the theatrical sensations cf the day. When Questioned at this hearing, the actress said that she received in salary $200 a week, of which $150 went to her, the rest being applied by her managers to her debts. Out of this she paid the rent of a flat in which her mother was living. Mrs. Leslie Carter's husband was di vorced from her. She gained additional notoriety when Manager David Beias co instituted suit against N. K. Fair bank of Chicago fur $r,0,0O0. his fee for educating Mrs. Carter for the stage. During this trial Mr. Belaco testified that he had informed Mr. Fairbank of the great cost of the undertaking and that the millionaire had directed him to go ahead, notwithstanding the large ex pense. Mr. Belasco was ultimately awarded $17,000. HOANG HO OVERFLOW. Hundreds of Villages Destroyed and a Million Chinese Suffer. London. Nov. 9.

Results in New Tork and Colorado Indicate that the brother business in politics is bad for some of the brothers. Uncle John Wanamaker can operate a mercantile establishment and a Sunday school successfully but when he tackles Boss Quay, he overtaxes his capacity.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP. The proposition submitted to the voters of New Paynesville, Minn., to erect waterworks and an electric light plant, was carried. Danbury was the first town In Con necticut to municipalize its gas and electric light plants. The new venture meets with general approval. By a vote of more than 4 to 1 the people of Mobile, Ala., have voted In favor of city waterworks and a system of sewers to be owned by the munici pality. The City of Vienna. Austria, is soon to erect and operate municipal brick kilns, the product of which is to be used in city buildings, but selling also t.- pri vate parties.

GLOBE BIGHTS tFrom the Atchison Globe.J The same old grind gets a little harder every year. Remember a man's prejudices when he makes a prediction. It is fortunate for the people that few doctors are gossips. Every man believes he is "picked at" more than he deserves. Kvery one occasionally longs for the kindness that is shown a rich man just before he dies. A man discovers a good doctor, and then loses confidence in him, nearly every year of his life. Do not believe statements that other people are "working hard" for you. If you do not work hard for yourself, no body else will. An Atchison man has been using shingles off his roof ior kindling for two years, and was grumbling lately because his roof leaked. There are worthy, successful young men who don't wear a chrysanthemum as large as a cabbage, but it is hard to make young girls believe it. The American people are not buying as many prescriptions at drug stores as they formerly did; they are now spend ing their money for patent medicines. An Atchison woman Is very indig nant: she has remembered the Maine, herself, every minute, but a fourth cousin, whose husband was a. Maine victim, has forgotten It, and is to be married again. An Atchison, count! farmer wiio -ad- vertised recently for a wife, didn't re ceive a single answer. In Atchison, the women still cling in a measure to that old fashioned notion that a love affair must begin and conclude according to the plans and specifications laid down by Mary Jane Holmes. The inventive genius of the present day is employed in making house work easier for the women The grocers are selling canned goods of all sorts, every thing necessary for a meal selling in cans except bread. A new invention is a canned dessert, of the kind that women usually spend three hours in making The world grows easier every day for the woman who likes to gad. CHICAGO NEWS PROVERBS. Truth never dodges, no matter who throws mud at it. l The fire of genius is often unable to make the pot boil. There Is nothing like an earthquake for opening up new fields. A good thing ceases to be ft good thing when we get too much of it. There is no fool like an old fool who tries to act like a young fool. A word to the wise may be sufficient, but they seldom get off that easily. A man always thinks appearances are deceitful when they are against him. I It Is easier for some girls to win ad mirers than it is to capture a husband. Speaking of secret society benefits, the hod-fellows are always assisting the masons. A man may not be a hero to his valet, but we don't see what business a hero has with a valet, anyway. Although a man and wife are looked upon as one, some wives consider their husbands very small fractions.

Herr Ladislaus Mierzwinski, the once great Polish tenor, who, in his palmy days, was wont to receive $500 for a performance, has just accepted a job as porter in the Hotel d'Angleterres, in Cannes, France. He is less than CO years old, but hale and hearty, though his voice is about gone. His downfall is largely due to gambling Richard Croker, usually so silent, and during this campaign so surprisingly loquacious, made a new departure in a speech to an audience of deaf mutes in New York during the campaign. He de livered his talk in slow and. clear sen tences and a man standing at his side, who knew how, translated it on his fingers to the audience. There was fre quent applause and other signs of ap preciation. The will of Rev. Dr. John Hall, the noted Presbyterian divine of New York city, leaves his property divided as usual among his wife and all his children, ex cept Bolton Hall, one of his sons, who is to receive only the interest from his share until the death of Mrs. John Hall, after which the executors are empow ered to advance to him the whole or any part of his portion, according to their judgment. Perhaps this son re ceives different treatment from the other children because he is a single tax advocate. He is, however, reputed to be a man of means.

Under the present conditions, says Da vid Star Jordan In the November Atlantic, when the sea otter are destroyed, the fur eal herd exterminated, the native tribes starved to death, the salmon rivers de populated, the timber cut, and the placer gold fields worked out, Alaska is to be thrown away like a sucked orange. Unere is no other possible end, if we continue as we have begun. We are "not in Alaska for our health," and wnen we can no longer exploit it we may as well abandon "'But it may be argued that it will be a prv costlv thine to foster all Alaska's wide-sern rated resources, and to give good government to ail her scattered vil lages and posts. Further-more," all this outlay is repaid only by the enrichment of private corporations, who, with the ex ception or the tur seal lessees, pay uo tribute to the government. Doubtless this is true. Government is a (inatlv thine-, nnii irs benefits are un equally distributed. But the cost would be less if we should treat other resources as we have treated the fur seal. To lease the salmon rivers and to protect tne les sees In their rights would be to insure a steady and large income to the govern ment, with greatei prolit to the salmon canneries than comes with the present confusion and Industrial war. But admitting all this, we should count the cost before accepting "colonies." It is too late to do bo when they have been once annexed. If we cannot afford to watch them, to care for them, to give them paternal rule when no other is possible, we do wrong to hoist our flag over them. Government bv the people is the ideal to be reached in al lour possessions, but there are races of men living under our flag as yet incapable of receiving the town-meet- mg Idea. vV race ui Litiiuien itiuv. kits tr-eMted as children, a race of brigands as brigands, and whatever authority controls either must nave Demna it tne rorce oi arms.

Bonds at Last Make Formal Demands. Washington, Nov. 9. So far as the state department knows there has been no break in the peace negotiations, and if any difficulty had arisen officials say it would certainly have been promptly reported to the department. It is as sumed, therefore, that there must be purely some internal reason for the postponement perhaps the convenience of the commissioners. The advices that have come to hand so far are said to be rather encouraging than the reverse, and there is a disposition here to agree to the statement rather curiously made by the Spanish cabinet that there will be three or four more meetings of the Joint commission. This is taken as an indication that the Spaniards them selves are not looking for a break in the negotiations, but they rather expect a peaceful conclusion in a short time. The foreign bondholders have at last moved formally to protect their inter ests in Cuba and Porto Rico. The in itial steps have been taken through the agency of the French embassy, which in this case acts no longer as the repre sentative of the Spanish government, but for French subjects. Through the embassy a most formidable statement has been presented to the state depart ment, being an account of the various Spanish bands owned by French citi zens chargeable against the territories either seized or set free by the act of the United States government. The sum total of these bonds runs far up into the millions. Just what shall le done with them is not made clear. The United States government.of course w-ill not pay them, but it may be that the French government looks to it to cause the independent government of Cuba to assume liability for the re demption of the bonds charged against the island when the government snail have been duly installed by the act of the United States government. It is probable that other holders of like bonds. German and British, will take similar steps to have their claims brought through their diplomatic repre sentatives to the attention of the Uni ted States government, and it may even be that the holders of such bonds in Snaln. though Spanish citizens, will take a like course, which would present a novel claim upon the generosity of the United States government. SLOT MACHINES TAKEN OUT Chief of Police of Oshkosh. Threatens to Confiscate All Gambling De vices and All are Removed. Oshkosh. Wis., Nov. 9. No slot ma chines are in operation in Oshkosh. Under an order from Chief Weisbrod thev were removed from all the sa loons yesterday, the chief having given notice that all machines in operation last evening would be confiscated. The mandate from the head of the police department was complied with. The slot machine owners who were arrested and booked to appear in mu nicipal court this morning sent one of their number. Maxwell, to plead ror them as well as himself. This action was due to a mistaken idea of the law and the Judge informed Mr. Maxwell that he could plead only for himself. It was then decided to set the trials for the 19th of this month, the court having been assured that the accused will all plead guilty. In the meantime Chief Weisbrod states that no machines will be per mitted to run pending a settlement of the whole matter. THE BATTLE AT SANTIAGO The naval battle at Santiago was very different from that at Manila, in the character of the ships engaged, says Ira Nelson Hollis in the November Atlantic. The Spaniards had six of their best ves sels: four armored cruisers and two very fast torpedo destroyers, with an average speed of eighteen and a half knots. We had four battleships, two armored cruis ers, and several smaller craft, with a mean speed of fifteen and a half knots. In both cases the maximum speed of the slowest ship is taken as the average for the fleet. There were only two very fast ships on the American side, the New York and the Brooklyn, and the former was hull down to eastward of the harbor. Ad miral Cervera's plan was, therefore, to go out quickly, turn to the westward along the coast, and disable the Brooklyn be fore the slower ships could coma to her rescue, thus carving out a road to the sea. The plan, although well conceived, could be carried out only in part. He did not succeed in disabling the Brooklyn, which was evidently maneuvered with a view to chasing, and' five of his ships were overwhelmed by the American fleet be fore thev had time to gather full head way. The battle had resolved itself into but little more than exciting target prac tice for our ships when each Spanish ves Fel, in turn, headed toward the beach and hauled down her flag. The Cristobal Colon, which had passed through the Are without injury, and had escaped to the westward, survived only two hours. The Brook! vn, and to the surprise of every body the Oregon, overtook her about 50 miles from the mouth of the harbor. Her burst of speed had lasted only a short time, and she had not averaged more than fourteen knots, just six knots less than she was capable of making. Her captain struck his flag and ran her ashore without a fight. Our ships did their work with the precision of machines set up on shore, and nothing broke down in stress of ac i tion. We lost only one man. KANSASNEWS. State Dairy Association to Con vene in Topeka. Twelfth Annual Convention Called For Not. 16-18. ADDRESS OF WELCOME To Be Delivered by Gov.

A Farmer's Wife Living Near Muncie, 'Indiana, Shoots and Kills a Neighbor in Cold Blood. HAD HIM ARRESTED. First on a Criminal Charge But Failed To Convict Him Then Follow ed the Shooting. Muncie, Ind., Nov. 9. Last evening a warrant was served on Mrs. Lavina Black in the county jail charging her with murder in the first degree for the killing of Farmer John W. Bailey the previous day in Harrison township. The woman previously had caused the ar rest of Bailey, whose farm adjoined that of her husband, Jolm Black, charg ing him with criminal assault. At the trial before Mayor Tuhey the defend, nt proved an alibi. The woman was bent on making Bailey suffer and decided to kill him. She called at the home of Smith Childs, another neighbor, for 3 bucket of water and after pumping the water, noticing Bailey at the Childs' home in the yard, opened fire while ten feet away. Three of the six shots took effect, one blowing through the brain. The man fell dead. There were three eye witnesses to the tragedy. The wo man then picked up her bucket, walked home and informed her husband, and the two drove to Muncie, where she surrendered. C 0 3IIN G DRAMATIC E VENTS "Everything new but the title" is th6 way "Si Perkins," the farmer comedy which is the attraction at the Crawford theater tonight, is advertised this year. The piece is said to have been brighten ed by the introduction of considerable new material, and a combined band and orchestra is carried as a special feature. The principal work of the comedy falls to the lot of Sam J. Burton and Lillie Coleman. The prices are 10, 0, 30 and 50 cents. At the Crawrord theater tomorrow night the big Koster Bial success "Gayest Manhattan" will be the attrac tion. The prices will be $1, 75, 50 and 25 cents. The Philadelphia Times said of the production during its run there last month: "It was a highly pleased audience that filed out of Gilmore's auditorium after witnessing the performance of Koster Rial's spectacular production. Gayest Manhattan." The extrava ganza is of the highest class, and is Deadl y Ca: Cured at Last! Do Not Give Up in De spair There is Hope! For ages it has been thought that Cancer is incurable, and those sc unfortunate as to have this dreadful affliction have con sidered themselves beyond hope of recovery. The doctors are ab solutely unable to afford any re lief, and the poor sufferer might w:ll consider himself on the way to an early grave. It is now easy to see why the doctors have failed to cure Cancer. Their theories have been all wrong, and hence their treatment mis directed. They have made the mistake of thinking that by cut ting out the sore or ulcer, known as Cancer, the disease would be gotten rid of, and the patient re stored to health. But the cruel knife accomplishes nothings for the Cancerpromptlyreturns,andis always more virulent than before. It has been demonstrated, beyond doubt, that Cancer is a blood disease, and can not be cured by the sarzeon's knife because the blood can not be cut away.

In the character of Hiram Prindle, a verdant Yankee, and in a Shakespearean travesty with Miss Emily Jordan, Mr. George H. Carr made a decided hit. Miss Jean Mcil moyle, who is a winsome and saucy soubrette, found much favor with the audience, and her descriptive songs, "Susie Smith, from Troy," and "Wasn't That n Odd Place to Do It," received hearty encores. James Kiernan was exceedingly clever in his Irish and Ger man specialties. Frank Gardiner also showed marked ability. The topical quintette, in the second act, and the "Marriage of the Chinese and the Coon," by Miss Mcllmoyle and Mr. Kiernan, in the third, were superior. A large chorus of pretty young women gave ad ditional attractiveness to the produc tion." A cast containing some of the best amateur talent in the city will put on the operetta "The National Flower" at the Crawford theater Friday evening. The Modoc club and Watson's orchestra will assist in the production. The prices will be 10, 20 and 30 cents. A NEW LAKE Princeton, N. J., Nov. 9. The first re port of the Princeton second geological expedition to South America was made known today. A years ago Prof. Scott sent Messrs. Hatcher and Colburn to the un known regions of Patagonia, to extend the explorations begun by Messrs. Pe terson and Hatcher, a former expedi tion. The results obtained surpass the most sanguine expectations of Prof. Scott and the geological department. The expedition, the report says ex plored the country inland and to the northward for a distance of 800 miles from the straits of Magellan, adding to the knowledge of the geography of the country and discovering at the base of the Andees, a beautiful lake, 30 miles in length, not previously reported. In the region of this lake or about midway between Lake Buenos Ayres and the head waters of the River Chico. or north fork of the Santa Cruz river, a new extremely rich locality for ver tebrae fossil was discovered and many new facts observed bearing upon the geology of the country. The explora tions were successful in marking a com plete section of the marine territory de posits of the country and making" col lections of fossils from them. In these deposits a hitherto entirely unknown horizon has been discovered which will prove of the greatest Importance in finding the age of certain other beds in regard to which there has been much discussion among geogolists. Consider able time was taken in the examina tion of animal life and the collection of discussion among geologists. Consider of fresh water and marine muliucs ami crustaceans were secured, with a very complete series of lizards and frogs. In addition to the considerable col lection of arts and manufactures of the different tribes inhabiting these regions, a splendid series of photographs were secured and a fairly complete dictionary of the Yahgan language compiled. were unable to do her any good, and finally pronounced it Cancer of a most malignant type.

The Organization is Now Con sidered of Little Value. SUPBEME COURT BLOW Sebastian Form of Ticket Frores a Gold Une To the Rock Island Official Who Inrented It. Chicago, Nov. 9. The Western Trunk Line committee, the successor of the once powerful Western Freight associa tion, is likely to be dissolved. A meet- in g for consideration of its future has been called for Thursday, and those in a position to know declare that the I affairs of the organization will prob j ably be wound up at that session, j Excuse for the dissolution will be found in the recent decision of the j United States supreme court in the i Joint Traffic association case, though j why this should be so does not appear to those who are familiar with the sit j nation. The decision in the Joint Traf fic association case did not differ ma j terially from that in the Transmlssourl j Freight association case and the West i ern Trunk Line committee was or J ganized after the ruling in the latter case was announced. At that time lead Ins counsel of the largest western roads reviewed the proposed agreement for the trunk line committee and declared .that it contained nothing incompatible with the Transmissouri ruling. Hence it is taken for granted that the real reason for the dissolution is not the supreme court decision. As a matter of fact the agreement of the trunk line committee has not been observed. It read well on paper, and those who signed it undoubtedly meant to observe it when they entered into it. but conditions have been such that a strict maintenance of rates or a thorough observation of set rules has net been possible, and each line has had to act to a very large extent upon its own responsibility. The association, therefore, has been of little or no value. Another reason for its going out of existeix-e at the end of the year also is apparent. At the tirue of the trans missouri decision western railroads were under contract to maintain in office four commissioners who had been in duced to leave responsible positions with leading roads to administer the af fairs of the Western Freight associa tion. Their contracts run until January 1, 199. When the Western Freight as sociation was dissolved the trunk line committee was organized largely be cause these men were available and be cause it was thought best to give them work that might perhaps be valuable in maintaining the rate situation. they have been the chief expense of the pres- ent association, and now that their con- j tracts have about expired it is thought best to abandon the work. The abandonment of all attempts to regulate the rate situation will have its effect also upon future legislation at the hands of congress. Like their eastern brethren of the Joint Traffic association, the western men indirectly will an nounce, bv dissolving their association, that they'are at the mercy of the law makers. SEBASTIAN TICKET. Southwestern Passenger Association Adopts It Hr. Sebastian's Income. Denver. Nov. 9. The principal lines cf the Southwestern Passenger associa tion have adopted the Sebastian form of excursion tickets. According to re ports Mr. Sebastian is now receiving an income of $15.0ihj a month from lines using his patent and the addition to the list, of such roads in the south as the Santa Fe. Rock Island. Missouri Pa cific, St. Louis San Francisco means a large increase in the fortune of the lucky" general agent of the Rock Island. It has been claimed that the ticket scalpers have so much difficulty in handling Sebastian tickets that the rr ads have found their receipts general ly increased since this particular form came into use in the west. Ticket bro kers deny the statement, and one of the leading dealers of the city declared yes terday that he had handled more than EOo of the pasteboards this year. In order to 1o so it is necessary for the broker to be in communication with the original holder of the ticket. A cus tomer coming ainng, the broker notifies the original holder, who proceeds to the joint agent of the railroad companies and withdraws the coupon which had been deposited earlier in the season. This coupon is then handed the patron by the broker and he starts upon his journey. Should the conductor sus pect that the passenger is not the orig inal buyer of the ticket fce may oblige him to write his name. The signature not agreeing with that on the ticket, the passenger is liable to be jerked from the train. Brokers claim that the rules of the companies with regard to signatures of passengers are not en forced and if any instance they are, the conductor hesitates, as it is a seri ous matter to eject a passenger from a train. In any event the deposit feature of the Sebastian ticket has made it ma ny friends among railroad officers and especially so, as it enables roads to keep closer tab to each other and pre vent tickets in large blocks from being on the market as under former con ditions. The value of the Sebastian ticket, viewed from this standpoint, is in its preventing low priced transpor tation from being put into the hands -of brokers by railroad companies them selves. The Sebastian round trip ticket Is in use by all the roads of the Western Passenger association and is growing in favor in tha territory east of the Mississippi. FROM ESIPORIA.

FRANCE IS SILEN T. The Chansber of Deputies Congratu lated on Its Discretion. Paris. Nov. 9. The French newspapers generally approve the silence of the cham ber of deputies on the subject of Fashoda and congratulate M. Brunot on his with drawal of the interpellation which he in tended to address to the government on the subject. The Siecle says it reerets that Maior Marchand did not observe the same re- licence at Cairo A PAYIStf BUbiiSESS. "There was a few years ago," said Ma jor Hotchkis, "a man at Badger Rock, Hon., who joyed in calling himself Wild cat Bill, the Rattlesnake of Bender's Flat. Not that that was his name, of course, or that his name was Bill or even William, or that, so far as I know, he had ever seen a wildcat or would have known a rattle snake if ho had met one, and I am certain there was no such place as Bender's' Flat, bat this Is what he was pleased to call himself. In point of fact his name was Ernest Wilbarforce or something of that sort, and he came originally from Bald winsville, Conn., or some such mild, wild catless and nonrattlesnake neighborhood. "His finances became reduced, and the time came when something had to be done. He determined to take up the vocation of desperado in a purely commercial way. It Is unnecessary to say that he had never shot a man or shot at a man or shot in the direction of where any man or other mem ber of the human race was or had been or expected to be. "Indeed you couldn't prove it by me that be had ever shot off a gun or knew a trig ger from a trajectory. Badger Rock was at that time a small town engaged chiefly in the business of transferring people from the railroad station to the stages which ran to certain gold and silver mines. A great many eastern people, capitalists and so forth, passed through it, but few staid in the place more than a few hours. "One day, a half hour before tha train from the east was due, the clerk of the hotel was astonished to see this man enter clad in most striking cowboy costume, wearing a belt with two revolvers and a knife in it and carrying a heavy, double barreled shotgun with the barrels sawed off, so that they were not more than a foo6 long, making a weapon such as is some times affected by desperate characters, treasure eoaoh guards, deputy sheriffs or other individuals engaged in tuning their hands against tbeir fellow men. "It is a piece of ordnance which is sup posed to be loaded with inordinate charges of powder and irregular slugs of lead. It makes an excellent companion for one gentleman to wait around the corner with for another gentleman who had been tell ing about town that he (the first gentle man) is a liar. "To the surprised Inquiries of the hotel clerk, Wilberforce explained that he was now Wildcat Bill, the Rattlesnake of Ben der's Flat, and that all he asked was the simple privilege of waiting behind the half open doer of the office for Pete Smith of Pahen's ranch. The clerk had never heard of any of these names before, but as there was no rule against it he consented. "It was not long before the train arrived and an elderly and correct appearing man alighted and made his way toward the ho tel. He was, in fact, a prominent Boston capitalist, and this was his first trip to the somewhat extensive region west of the Connecticut river. As he entered the door of the hotel his eye caught the muzzle of the shotgun, with its two cavernous shafts, apparently about the size of sewer pipe, which projected an inch beyond the edge of the open door. A glance behind showed a most murderous individual, breathing short and with his finger mov ing nervously on both triggers. The Bos ton man stepped quickly to the clerk and whispered: 'Who who Is that man? 'That s Wildcat Bill, the Rattlesnake of Bender's Flat.' answered the clerk. "What what is he doing?' 'Waiting for Pete Smith of Patchen's ranch.' replied the clerk. -Will will he shoot himf 'He will blow him Into pieces, unless Pete shoots first.' 'Is the the gentleman expected soon?' went on the man from the Hub. 'Pete comes in at 2:45 for a drink." "The visiter consulted his watch and found it was 2:30. 'Is there no way to stop such a ter rible thing?" ho inquired earnestly. "The clerk shook his head. 'No,' he replied. 'Bill has shot 22 men, and you 6ee he's got a three cornered file in his mouth now to file tiie twenty-third notch in his six shooter after he gets through with Pete. Bat,' added the clerk con fidentially, 'perhaps he could be hired to postpone the operation for a few hours, say till after you have left for the mines." "The upshot of it was that for f 10 the Rattlesnake agreed not to shoot Pete till after 5 o'clock, and the Boston man again drew a full breath. "Naturally so easy and rapid a way of making money could not be left unculti vated, and Wildcat Bill became a regular thing behind the hotel door at tralntime. He divided profits with the clerk, and they did a thriving business. His terms for consenting to postpone temporarily the awful slaughter of his enemy varied from $5 to $50, according to the means or ter ror of the subject. Only one attempt proved a total failure. This was in the case of a rollicking youth from Louisville, who sat down and announced that he was going to wait and see the fun. He was finally tired out by the inexplicable fail ure of Pete Smith to arrive. "The game was kept up several years and wonld perhaps have been still going on had it not been for an unfortunate ac cident. One day a man came into the office with a black ebony cane. Having a valise in either hand, he was carrying this cane in a horizontal position under his arm.

S0R0SIS SHOCKED. Members of New York Club Horri fied by a Woman Doctor's Lecture. New Tork, Nov. 9. Sorosis, who makes it her boast that she dabbles i neither in religion nor politics Sorosis, who, by virtue of her long experience as chaperon of clubdom, avoids uncan ny problems as she would the plague today at the Waldorf-Astoria met her Waterloo. And it was wholly the fault of her all-prevailing femininity. Like others of her sex she is delightfully il logical. She started out to Fail on the sea of science and she ended on the shoals of misfit marriage. "The mortalitv of babies," said Dr. Emily V. Pardee, in full tilt at the sub ject, "is full of instruction. Most of them die before they have reached the first anniversary of their birth, and friends come m and say it has pleased Divine Providence to take away the sinless little rosebud." Sorosis was all sympathy. A tender tear or two was ready to fall 'What they ought to say," continued the speaker, with a contemptible sniff, "is that whereas he did not know what food he ate. what water he drank, or air he breathed, and didn't know it was loaded, and" with increasing vehem ence "whereas his grandmother and grandfather were loaded But Sorosis sat erect in cold displeas ure. The dual significance of the word "loaded" is not admitted in her voca bulary. "There is many a book on training for maternity," announced the doctor severelv, "but none that I know on training for fatherhood. I teiVyou, half the marriages are misfits. The father over-hurries, over-worries, and he has an oversensitive, nervous child. The mother spends her time In gadding about and doing stunts." Again Sorosis gave way to a shiver of dismav. The woman at the presi dent's table might have been graven in stone. "There is no hope until we dare to know just what we are," thundered the doctor. "If the rights of the state were in the hands of the doctors and every body obliged to furnish a bill of health, the difficulties of misfit marriages would be larjrelv- obviated." But Sorosis had had enough of mis fits. Alice Bartlett Stimson eased the strain by touching upon "Children in Mature Study." THOSE SCHOOL WALLS. Wkat Chief Wilmartb. Says About Sumner School. Yesterday afternoon Chief Wilmartb, Councilman Drew and Contractor A. Nelson inspected the walls of Sumner school and pronounced them unsafe. Chief Wilmartb. examined the building on October 1st and pronounced it safe. Since then the heavy winds have had a bad effect upon the inner walls and when the veneer of brick was taken of! vesterday it was found that the stone walls were, as the builders term it, rot ten and unsafe. Chief Wilmartb con demned the building. Both Mr. Drew and Mr. Nelson agreed with Chief Wil martb in his decision. Superintendent Davidson ordered that the school be dismissed indefinitely and in accordance with his orders the prin ciple, Miss Monteith, dismissed the chil dren until other rooms can be secured. The Douglass school on Polk between Third and Fourth was given up as a school several years ago and two of the four rooms have been rented for church and kindergarten purposes. The other two rooms will be used and two more rooms will be secured in the neighbor hood of the Sumner school building. M'KIXLEY AT HISP0ST.

Girl of lO Tears Bashes in Front of an Engine to Save a Play-mate. Plainfield. N J., Nov. 9. Plainfield has a babv heroine, Katie Albert, who is only V years old. Last night her playmates dressed in white, stood in front of her poor dwelling and sang her praises. In their midst stood John Lunshea, father of the girl, 4 years old, Katie Al bert had saved. Tears, ran down his cheeks as he held his little one to his breast and thanked the brave playmate who had saved his daughter from being ground to death under the wheels of a ponderous locomotive. Third street, where these people live, is not lined with brown, stone fronts. It is the home of honest poverty. John Lun shea's baby escaped from the mother's arms, and before anyone had noticed reached the tracks of the Central rail road. Katie Albert was not responsible for the care of the child. She was barely big enough to care for herselt. tone saw tne tiutenng white dress of the little one on the track saw the train coming at almost tuo speed directly for her. She hesitated not a. inomept. Clamber ing up the bank, over sharp bits of coal and cinder, she jumped the gutter, ar.d almost from under the iron point of the pilot, seized the baby. The engineer had seen the danger and reversed the Ifcver. put on the airbrakes and was mak ing his way along the runboard when Karie Albert made the heroic rescue. The train came to a standstill many yards down the track, and the engineer, firemen and passengers joined in hugging both babies and carrying them back to where the w-hite-faced mother of the younger stood waiting to receive them. EIIA OF GOOD FEELING. IiOrd Herschell Talks of the United States and Great Britain. Indianapolis. Ind.. Nov. 9. The Et. Hon. Ijord Farrer Herschell, chairman of the joint high commission representing the United States and Canada, who is visiting Senator Fairbanks here, said to day that in his opinion the era of good feeling between the United States and England had arrived. "Whatever is felt here." said he, "is quite reciprocated on the other side. 1 think perhaps you peo ple of the states are more demonstrative than we. The onlv thing that hai held our people back from ereater demonstra tion of this sentiment is the fear that the matter is being pushed r-ather than al lowed to develop itself." Speaking of the strained relations be tween England and Russia. Ird Her schell said he did not consider conditions dangerous. "My personal belief is that the czar is really desirous of peace," said he. Tomorrow the lord will be the guest of former President Harrison at luncheon. FRENCH FLEET OUT.

Rainy Season Over in Santiago In surgents Tired of Peace. Santiago de Cuba, Nov. 9. The main Question now before General Leonard Wood, governor of the military district of Santiago, is not political. It is the question of water w hich is a serious problem. The rainy season is about over and usually, after a month or so of dry weather, water has to be brought from the mountains and sold in the streets. General Wood is anxious to avoid a repetition of such conditions, and has engaged the service of three expert en gineers to report as to the best method of supplying the city with water, wheth er with artesian wells or otherwise. Matamore. a colonel in the insurgent army, and formerly a bandit, objecting to the hum-drum ways of peace, re cently took to the hills with twenty men and is now carrying on his old vo cation, robbing plantations and farms of cattle and horses, holding people up ajid setting in every way a bad exam ple. General Wood is determined to sup press Matamore and a part of the gen d'arme is now ready, uniformed and drilled, well mounted and armed, to do the work. Today twenty men, under command of a lieutenant, left for the lo cality in which Matamore and his com panions are operating, with orders to bring them all in deed or alive. The general opinion here is that if Matamore is not suppressed he will soon have between one and two hundred recruits, but now that the purpose of the authorities is known, it is not ex pected that many will join him. The Americans here are greatly an noyed and the Spaniards deeply grieved at the failure thus far of the special Spanish commission headed by General Don Luis Valideramma to recover the remains of General Vera Del Rev, the Cub-ans having apparently leveled the ground where the body was buried for the express purpose of preventing its recover-. Another effort will be made tomorrow. The Reina De Los Angeles left this evening for Gibara. In addition to the staff of physicians and nurses first se lected, she carried two contract sur geons, one of whom was formerly on the staff of General Calixto Garcia General Wood's orders to the surgeons were to vaccinate everybody at Gibara ana Holquin.

G TOPEKA STATE JOUKNAI WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER" 9, 1898. RESULTS. (Continued from First Page.) publican congressmen In St. Louis have been re-elected, and It is probable that all the 12 congressional districts out side this city will be represented by Demlcrats, though final returns may change this somewhat. In St. Louis the Republicans elected their city ticket by majorities ranging from 4,000 to 7,000. Lebanon, Mo., Nov. 3. Returns from the Eighth district indicate the re election of Richard P. Bland. Silver Democrat, by 2,000 majority. Mr.Bland's plurality two vears ago was 4,200. St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 9. James T. Lloyd, Democrat, is elected to congress in the First district. St. Louis, Nov. 9. A call at Republi can and Democratic state committee headquarters at 11 o'clock revealed the fact that only scattering returns were still being received. No claims were made by the Republicans, but the Dem crats gave out the statement that enough of the result in each of the 12 congressional districts outside St. Louis was known to make the election of their candidates an assured fact. C. F. Cochran, (Dem.) is elected in the Fourth district. St Louis, Nov. 9. M. E. Benton, Dem ocrat, is doubtless re-elected in the Fifteenth district. As the returns come in more freely the Democratic state managers lower their estimates on the" result as to the state ticket and legislature. Twenty five thousand majority on the Demo cratic state ticket is the estimate now given, with the majority on joint ballot in the legislature as about 32. PENNSYLVANIA. Republican by 150,000 Democrats Gain a Congressman. Philadelphia, Nov. 9. It was nearly 6 o'clock this morning before the returns from the last Philadelphia, ward were received and the net result was almost as great a surprise to the Republicans as to Democrats and Prohibitionists. When the ballots had been counted it was found that Stone, Republican, had carried the city by a plurality of 85.900, which with his plurality in the state outside of Philadelphia county will pro bablv run the Republican plurality for the head of the ticket up to 150,000 over Jenks, Democrat. Late returns from the Twelfth con gressional district show that Stanley Davenport, Democrat, has proably been elected by a small plurality over Mor gan B. Williams, Republican, the pres ent member. Philadelphia, Nov. 9. In the five con gressional districts of Philadelphia the present members are all re-elected as follows: First district. II. H. Bingham, Republican: Second, Robert Adams, jr., Republican; Third, William McAleer, Democrat; Fourth, James R. Young, Republican; Fifth, A. C. Harmer, Re publican. McAleer had no opposition, having been endorsed by the Republicans. Philadelphia, Nov. 9. Joseph C. Sib ley, Democrat, is elected to congress from the Twenty-seventh district. Philadelphia, Nov. 9. The next Penn sylvania legislature which meets in January and elects a successor to Sen ator Quay will consist of 254 members on joint ballot, 128 votes being neces sary to elect a senator The friends of Senator Quay claim today that they have 131 votes on joint ballot for M. S. Quay, 3 more than is necessary to elect. This estimate, they say, is independent of the members favorable to Senator Magee in Allegheny county and the followers of David Martin in Phila delphia. The anti-Quay people in this city dis pute these figures and claim that they have elected sufficient members pf the assembly to defeat the re-elction of Senator Quay. Senator Quay in a telegram from his home this morning conceded the election of two Democrats to the legislature from his home county of Beaver by 400 majority. This is a Democratic gain. York. Pa.,Nov.9. Returns from York, Adams and Cumberland, the counties comprising the Nineteenth congression al district show Zeigler (Dem.) elected by a majority of 175 over Lewis Rep). COLORADO Teller Forces Carry the State by 50, 000. Denver, Colo., Nov. 9. The entire fusion state ticket, headed by Charles S. Thomas, (Dem.) for governor, is elected by a majority approximating about 50,000. This is by far the largest majority ever given a candidate for governor in Colorado, but is less than .half of Bryan's majority for president. Arapahoe county, including Denver, gave about 10,000 fusion majority and El Paso county, including Colorado Springs. 4.000. The Republicans won in only a few counties in the eastern part of the state. Of seventeen holdover state senators elected, it appears the Republicans have secured two and in three districts the result is doubtful. The fusionists have an overwhelming majority in the legislature. NEW JERSEY. Goes Republican and Democrats Lose a U. S. Senator. Trenton, N. J., Nov. 9. New Jersey has been carried by the Republicans, and Foster M. Voorhees, the Republican candidate, is elected governor by about 12,000 plurality. Essex county, which was conceded as the fighting ground of both parties, has gone Republican by about 5,000. and both houses of the leg islature will be Republican. This will insure the election of a Republican to succeed James Smith, Jr., in the United States senate. Ex-Congressman John Kean is conceded to be the choice of the Republicans as Senator Smith's succes sor. The Democrats have elected two of the eight congressmen Salmon in the Fourth and Daly in the Seventh. The senate will stand 14 Republicans to 7 Democrats. The assembly will probably stand forty Republicans and twenty Democrats. This is allowing to the Republicans the two from Middlesex county, which is very close. Trenton. N. J., Nov. 9. The latest re turns indicate some doubts as to the Republicans having carried the Third district for congress. Howell, Rep., has carried Middlesex and Somerset coun ties by about 800 but returns from Mon mouth are meagre anl conflicting. Monmouth is naturally a Democratic county and Convoy, Dem., may have de feated Howell. SOUTH DAKOTA. Republicans Make Gains and Claim a Clean Sweep. Sioux Falls. S. D.. Nov. 9. Returns from 27 precincts in the Black Hills show a net Republican gain of 6u0. So far the net Republican gain in the state is 1.400. The fusionists still claim the state, but it is almost certain the Republicans have It on the entire state and congressional ticket. FLORIDA. Democrats Make the Customary Clean Sweep. Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 9. The vote. Judging from returns now in, is from 10 to 20 per cent lighter for both par ties than In 1396. The -whole Demo- cratic ticket is elected. The light vote, is due to the feeble resistance offered. The constitutional amendment re quiring that bonds of state officers be in sound secur ty and guaranie" com panies was carried overwhelmingly. The Republicans and Populists will not al together elect over five members of the legislature, if that many. -The legis lature elected will choose a successor to Stnator"Pasco. VIRGINIA. Solid Delegation of Silver Democrats Elected to Congress. Richmond, Va., Nov. 9. Not more than half the vote was polled in Vir ginia, except in the Ninth and Tenth districts, where the Democrats had formidable opposition, the result Is that the state returns a solidly Democratic delegation of ten members. The fea ture of the election is the breaking away from General Walker of the Re publican stronghold of the Ninth dis trict where he was defeated by Rhea. The following congressmen, all Silver men, are elected: First district, W. A. Jones; Second, William A. Young; Third, John Lambs; Fourth, Sydney P. Epes; Fifth, Claude A. Swanson; Sixth, Peter J. Oley; Seventh, James A. Hay; Eighth, John F. Rixey; Ninth, Judge William F. Rhea; Tenth. J. M. Quarles. Washington, Nov. 9. A Star special from Richmond, Va., says that state will send a solid Democratic delegation to congress. All the ten Democratic nominees have been elected according to returns received late last night and today. The hardest fight was in the Ninth district.where Judge Rhea (Dem.) opposed Gen. Walker (Rep.) Rhea has probably defeated Walker by 1.000 to 1,500 majority. The other Democrats won by from 2,500 to 12,000. MINNESOTA. The Line TTp in the Democratic Col umn oa Governor. St. Paul, Nov. 9. The Democrats elect John Lind, governor; Wm. Mitchell, Thomas Canty and probably Daniel Buck to the supreme court. Ringdale and Towne, Democrats, are elected to congress, and probably Willis. Minneapolis, Nov. 9. Unofficial and incomplete, but apparently reliable re turns, indicate John Lind, fusion can didate, has been elected governor of Minnesota by a plurality of 10,000. Five out of seven congressmen sure ly Republican. Sixth and Seventh dis tricts close and claimed by both sides. James Gray, fusionist, elected mayor of Minneapolis by perhaps 5,000, the largest plurality ever given in this city to a candidate not Republican Winona, Minn., Nov. 9. A. Tawney, Republican, is re-elected in the First district. Duluth, Minn., Nov. 9. The election of fusion candidates in the Sixth dis trict, Charles A. Towne, is claimed here by 2,000 majority. The Republicans do not concede it, but they are making no claims. The above Is the statement of the Globe. Republicans do not admit it. They say Lind is apparently elected but they do not concede it, the closeness of the figures and meagerness of the re turns seeming to warrant their refusal yet to admit defeat. At least one Dem ocrat, Mitchell, is probably elected to the supreme court. As to congressmen, three districts are doubtful, four being Republican and the Republicans claim all while the Demo crats say the other three are close and they believe Democratic. Congress Minnesota, Third district, J. P. Heatwole. Republican, re-elected. Seventh district, Frank. M. Eddy, Re publican, re-elected. MICHIGAN. Fingree Re-Elected by 55,000 and All Republican Congressmen. Detroit, Mich.. Nov. 9. The results of the state election are unchanged by any late returns or estimates. Governor Pin- f ree's plurality is placed at about 55.000. t nearly holds its own with the governor's plurality of two years ago, proportionately to the size of the vote cast. All the con gressmen elected are Republicans. The legislature, which is to elect a United State senator for full term, stands po litically about as follows: Senate, 29 Republicans, 3 Democrats; house. 93 Republicans, 7 Democrats. The present legislature has 6 Democrats in the senate and 19 in the house. The contest for senator will be between Sen ator Burrows and Albert Pack of De troit. Mr. Pack is the Pingree candidal. INDIANA. Democrats Concede the State by 10, OOO Plurality. Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 9. Returns today indicate the certain election of Overstreet. Republican, (Indianapolis district), to congress. The Democrats concede the Republi cans a majority In the state of about 10.000. The Republicans claim more than this. This (Marion) county where a bitter fight has been waged looks Republican with the possible exception of auditor. Evansville, Ind.. Nov. 9. James A. Hemenway, Republican is re-elected in the First district. Indianapolis, Nov. 9. The indications are that the Republican plurality will be near 15,000; it may vary 1,000 either way from that estimate The Demo cratic state committee concede that the Republicans have won in the state. Large Democratic gains are shown by some counties, while other counties show large Republican gains. The vote on congressmen has come In slowly but such returns as have been received indicate that the Republicans have won in all the districts except the Second, Third, Fourth and Twelfth. Some doubt as to the result In the Fifth and Eighth districts is still expressed by the Democrats. From the returns at hand,jt would appear that the Republicans will have ri majority in both branches of the legis lature and a majority on Joint ballot of about 16. MASSACHUSETTS. Legislature is Republican by a Heavy Majority. Boston, Nov. 9. The state legislature stands: Senate Republicans. 33; Dem ocrats, 7. House Republicans, 164; Democrats, 67; Social Democrats, 2; In dependent, 5; tie, 2. Boston, Nov. 9. With only two small towrs to hear from, Bruce (Dem.) for governor, has 107.895; Wolcott (Rep.) 190.23S; Wolcotfs plurality 83.243. Boston, Nov. 9. Following is a list of Massachusetts congressmen 'elected: First district, George P. Lawrence, Republican: Second, E. H. Gillett, Re publican; Third, J. H. Walker, Repub lican; Fourth. G. W. Wevmouth, Re publican; Fifth, William S. Knox, Re publican; Sixth. W. H. Moody, Repub lican; Seventh. E. W. Roberts, Republi can; Eighth, S. W. McCall. Republican; Ninth. John E. Fitzgerald. Democrat; Tenth, E. Nappen, Democrat; Eleventh, C. F. Sprague, Republican; Twelfth. W. C. Lovering. Republican Thirteenth, W. S. Greene, Republican. KENTUCKY. Democrats Make Almost a Clean Sweep on Congressmen. Louisville, Nov. 9. The Democrats of Kentucky won a sweeping victory yes terday electing nine and possibly ten congressmen out of eleven and prevent ed the Republicans from gaining con trol of the court of appeals. Democratic congressmen were elected in First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and Tenth dis tricts, and while the vote is close in the Ninth, it looks like Williams, the Dem ocrat, has won. This Is a certain gain of two congressmen, with a possible gain of three. The present congression al delegation stands seven Democrats to four Republicans. The biggest vic tory, however, was in the Third ap pellate court district, which was carried by McKlnley in 1896 by 2,200 majority. Hobson, the Democratic nominee for Judge, not only overcame this majority, but has won with about 2,000 votes to spare. Vanceburg, Nov. 9. Returns from all counties In the Ninth district give Pugh (Rep.), for congress a majority of 42. WASHINGTON. Indications Point to a Complete Re publican Victory. Tacoma, Wash., Nov. 9. Returns re ceived by the Ledger from all over the state indicate a great Republican land slide. Populist counties east of the mountains have turned completely over. Indications are that F. W. Cushman and W. L. Jones, Republicans, are elected to congress by at least 2,500 plurality as against about 12,000 plurali ty two years ago. The legislature will be Republican and elect a Republican senator to succeed Senator Wilson. Seattle, Wash., Nov. 9. Incomplete returns from twenty-four counties out of thirty-four in the state give a ma Jorlty of 2,500 in favor of both Republi can congressmen and Republican can didates for supreme judges. Times, fusion, concedes the state to the Re publicans by 3,000, also the legislature. The Republican state central commit tee claims a majority of 12 in the leg islature on joint ballot. NEW HAMPSHIRE. Republicans Capture Nearly Every thing in Sight. Concord, N. H.. Nov. 9. Senator Gallin ger, chairman of the Republican state central committee, has issued this state ment: "The indications show the election of Rollins for governor by from 8.000 to 10.000 majority and that the Republicans will have from 18 to 20 of the 24 senators. Both Republican congressmen are elected." ILLINOIS. Republicans Control the Legislature on Joint Ballot. Chicago, Nov. 9. Returns from every county in the state indicate the election of Whittemore (Rep.) for state treas urer by a plurality of nearly 30,000. Few of the returns are complete. The ma jority for other Republican candidates will probably exceed that for Whitte more, as he was cut heavily in Cook county including Chicago. Enough leg islative returns have been received to show that the lower house will be Dem ocratic by about six votes, and the sen ate Republican by about eleven votes. In Cook county, aside from congress men, the entire Republican ticket with possibly one or two exceptions was elected by pluralities ranging from 5,000 to 6.000. The county was carried for McKinley by nearly 70,000. In Winnebago county Frank S.Regan, Prohibitionist, was elected to the legis lature, the first time in the history of the state that a Prohibition legislative candidate has won. Peoria, 111.. Nov. 9. Joseph V. Fraff, Republican, is elected to congress in the Fourteenth district. Chicago, Nov. 9. In the Second dis trict Lorimer, Republican, is re-elected. Peoria. Nov. 9. A dispatch from Oliver W. Stewart, chairman of the prohibition state committee, claims 23, 000 votes in Illinois. He also claims that Regan of Rockford as certainly and Burleigh of Grundy county as prob ably elected to legislature. Chicago, Nov. 9. Boutelle, Republi can, is elected in the Sixth district. Chicago, Nov. 9. With but two pre cincts of the congressional district to hear from, Boutelle. Republican, has a plurality of over 600 and is elected by about 200 or 300 plurality.

C gives the details of a mass meeting of 600 citizens of that city at the court house there today to assert the su premacy of the white man. Ex-Representative Waddell presided and read a series of resolutions reciting the de termination of the white citizens to forever rule the city and to commence the work immediately, declaring that hereafter white labor should be given preference over colored and calling for the banishment of Alex. Manley, the negro newspaper publisher, who printed an objectionable editorial recently. An amendment was offered calling on the mayor and chief of police and board of aldermen to vacate their offices now instead of waiting until their terms ex pire in March. These resolutions were referred to a committee and while awaiting its report several speeches were made, one of the speakers, Representative-elect Bellamy, urging the ex- I pulsion of Manley in twelve hours, but counselling moderation in othe r re spects. The committee soon reported its con clusions favoring the expulsion of Man ley as proposed; urging the employ ment of white labor as far as possible j and a resolution reciting- that the mayor and chief of police having demonstrated j their incapacity and their continuance resign. The report was unanimously adopted and a committee of 25 was ap pointed to carry into effect the resolu tions adopted. It is understood that Manley has al ready left the city.

Ont of 314 Congress Districts Repub licans Elect 157, Democrats 15 L j Chicago, Nov. 9 The Associated Press has received definite information as to the result of 314 of the 357 congressional districts. The Republicans have elected 157, the Democrats 151 and the fusion ists and Populists six. This leaves 44 districts In which the figures at 3:30 p. m. today were not sufficient to justify more than the use of the word "prob able." At that hour the doubtful niis tricts were 62. Located: California, 6; Idaho, 1; Indiana, 6; Kansas, 5; Ken tucky, 1; Minnesota, 1; Missouri, 8; Nebraska, 2; North Dakota, 1; Ohio, 14; Pennsylvania, 4; South Dakota, 4; Texas, 1; Washington, 2; West Virginia, 1; Wisconsin, 1, and vyoming, 1. FORECAST "OF SENATE. Looks as Though Republicans Would Control. Washington, Nov. 9. The states to elect senators in which Republican leg islatures appear to be assured are Michigan, Minnesota, Delaware, Con necticut, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and California Five of these states are now represented by Democrats who will give way to Republicans, namely: Gray of Delaware, Mitchell of Wisconsin, Murphy of New York, 'Smith of New Jersey and White of California. The other five states are now repre sented by Republicans, viz.: Burrows of Michigan, Davis of Minnesota, Hawley of Connecticut, Lodge of Massachusetts and Quay of Pennsylvania. Besides the foregoing the reports indicate a prob ability of Republican legislatures In Wyoming and North Dakota. This would bring about the retirement of Democratic Senator Roach of North Dakota and the re-election of Clark of Wyoming, or some other Republican.. The states electing Democratic legis latures, according to present reports are Tennessee, Missouri, Texas and Florida. These are already represented by Dem ocrats, so that no political change is effected. The present Democratic in cumbents are Bates of Tennessee, Cockrell of Missouri, Mills of Texas and Pasco of Florida. The reports state Utah is also likely J to have a Democratic legislature. Mr. vauuuii Ul Uittll V LIKJ Will ItTLlIti, IS JL silver Republican. Nevada reports in dicate a legislature which will re-elect Stewart, silver Republican. The legislatures which continue to be in doubt are Nebraska, West Virginia, Indiana, Montana and Washington. The Republican chairman claims Ne braska and the retirement of Allen, Populist. Indiana also seems to be safely republican in the legislature. In West Virginia now represented by Faulkner, Democrat, both state chair men claim the legislature. From Mon tana, now represented by Mantle, silver Republican, there are no reports on leg islature from which definite conclusions can be drawn. In Washington the re ports give the legislature as "painfully close." The state is now represented by Wilson, Republican. HOUSE IN DOUBT. Republican Chairman Claims Only 174 Members Sure. Washington, Nov. 9. At 3 o'clock this afternoon Chairman Babcock admitted that the next house of representatives was in doubt. He claims 174 districts sure with 13 districts in doubt. One hundred and seventy-nine is a majority. LATE ELECTION SE US. Since the table was prepared late re turns show that the Republicans have gained the two doubtful districts in Washington, two in Indiana and one in Kansas. The Democrats have gained one doubVul district in Indiana and one in Massachusetts. Should the Republi cans gain seven more doubtful districts it will give them a straight out majori ty. Chicago, Nov. 9. Up to 2 o'clock this afternoon dispatches to the Associated Press show that the Republicans have elected 164 members of congress, the Democrats 150 and the Populists and Fusionists 6. This leaves 37 districts still to be heard from. The additions since the previous bulletin are from North Dakota 1; South Dakota 2; Washington 2 and Illinois 1. Quincy, III., Nov. 9. Marsh (Rep.) Is elected to congress In the Tenth Illinois district by 200 over Roy. Minneapolis, Nov. 9. The Sixth Min nesota disticrt very close, but proba bly elects Towne (Sil. Rep.) to congress. Madison, Wis., Nov. 9. Herman B. Dahle, Republican is elected to congress in the Second district over James E. Jones, Democrat, by a majority of 200 to 300 votes. Milwaukee, Nov. 9. Election returns are coming in slowly. The Democrats have apparently given up all hope on their state ticket and the Republicans still claim 35,000 plurality for Governor Scofield. The only Republican who seems to be in doubt is the congress man in the Second district. Chairman Treat received a message from Madison at noon to the effect that an official count would probably be necessary to decide the winner, that the vote may be 100 majority either way. Chicago, Nov. 9. Up to 3 p. m. dis patches to the Associated Press show that the Republicans have elected 164 members of congress, the Democrats 154 and the fusionists and Populists 6. This leaves 33 doubtful districts. The additions since the previous bulletin are Missouri 1, Pennsylvania 1, Texas 2, all Democratic. St. Louis. Nov. 9. A Post-Dispatch spe cial from Dallas. Tex., says: State Chair man Bell of the Democratic executive committee at 2:30 p. m. concedes the elec tion of Hawley (Rep.) in the Tenth (Gal veston) district bv a substantial plurality. All the other 12 districts, he says, are ab solutely safe for the Democrats. Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. 9. Chairman Kidd of the Populist state committee this afternoon ..claimed the election of Lee, fusion, for governor by 1,200. Chairman Herreid, of the Republican state central committee says Phillips. Republican, is elected by at least 1.S00. Burke and Gable Republicans are surely elected to congress. The Republican state ticket except governor is elected. Both sides persistently claim the gov ernorship. Shamokin, Pa., Nov. 9. Returns from the Seventeenth congressional district indicate total majority of 3.000 for Ru fus K. Polk, Democrat, over Woodin, Republican. Wheeling, W. Va., Nov. 9 In the First district, Wheeling, B. B. Doven er, Republican, is elected to congress by 1,800 majority over Blair, Democrat. Trie les-isiature is still in douDt there be ing losses and gains on both sides. The majority of either party will be small. Worcester, Mass., Nov. 9. A recount will be probably asked in the Third Massachusetts congressional district, but there seems to be no chance of a change in the result. By corrections today the plurality of Jahn R. Thayer, Democrat, over Joseph H. Walker, Re publican, is increased to 131. Clinton Iowa, Nov. 9. The Second Iowa district is no longeT in doubt. The Democratic managers concede the elec- tion of Joe R. Lane, Republican, to con gress by over 700 plurality. CAPTURE LEGISLATURE. Republicans Have a Majority of 21 on Joint Ballot. The Republicans have elected 95 mem bers of the house of representatives, which with 11 senators, gives them 106, or 21 majority on joint ballot.

CUTS THE BABY'S CLOTHES ritzsimmons and J ulian Go on a Chi cago Shoping Expedition. Chicago, Nov. 9. Robert Fitzsimmons, champion horse-shoer and pugilist of the world, went shopping yesterday morning-. For two hours the "Champ" was the victim of a sales girl in a big down-town store. He got what he went after, the outfit for Rosalie Julian Fitzsimmons- Miss Fitzsimmons, whom the stork brought to earth two weeks ago. Miss Fitzsimmons found an elaborate wardrobe awaiting her on her arrival but tt was not elaborate enough to suit Bob. As the country papers would say, "Bob Fitzsimmons wears a broad smile. It is a girl." Bob was still smiling yes terday when he started out to buy an outfit for Miss Fitzsimmons. He want ed the best that could be made, and he wanted to outdo Mrs. Fitzsimmons, and show her how the youngest member of the tribe of Fitzsimmons should be gowned. He knew that Mrs. Fitzsim mons had delicate, long dresses and soft, warm flannels at home, ail prepar ed for Miss Fitzsimmons, but he wanted to show that he appreciated the new female addition to the family as much as did the mother. Bob started down town, accompanied by his valet and Martin Julian. Julian didn't Want to go, but he was impressed into service, and the valet was taken along to carry home the purchases. The champion was full of confidence. Along his path the small boys crowded eagerly to get a glimpse of him, and he smiled at them all in his joy. The party final ly entered a State street store. The sales women and cash girls were all agog Customers were left neglected, while the whole store watched with wide eyes as the auburn haired cham pion bruised through the crowd. A floor walker intercepted the party and ask ed: "What department?" "Babies' clothes," responded Fitz bravely. He was directed up-stairs, where a young woman, with a pencil thrust recklessly through a knot of hair, from which, protruded a straggling spiral AMUSEMENTS. w EW CRAWFORD THEATER Friday Eve., Nov. 11.

The young woman "was evidently unawed at the onslaught of the pugilistic party. She chewed ab sently at the end of a pencil, which waa not working, and said: "What is It, please?" The "Champ" sparred for wind a mlnu ute: "Clothes for the baby." "O! Baby at home, eh? How old?" "Two weeks," responded Fitz, who was weakening under punishment. "Well," said the saleslady, "where shall we begin? At the shoes?" "That's the stuff," responded Bob. "Shoes tirst. But. by George, I don't know the size. Martin," he continued, "go out and telegraph my wife and ask her what size shoes Rosalie wears." The saleswoman scornfully informed him that he was a lobster, and that all babies had the same sized shoes, and Pitz again sparred for wind. For half an hour the purchasing went on recklessly, Fitz buy ing everything offered. lie purchased enough to last a couple of generations of Fitzsimmonses silks and soft woolens, long, dainty, embroidered skirts, delicate little caps of lace, heavy half hose of wool, soft as silk, anything and every thing that the demure nd dignified young female person in charge offered for sale. Finally Bob breathed a big sigh of relief and said: "Well. I guess that's about all." "Haven't you forgotten something?" asked the demure -little saleswoman, rais ing her eyelids a trifle. "Guess not," said Fitz. "That finuhes the outfit." J-ist then Julian dragged him by the arm. hauled him out of earshot, whisper ed something in his ear. and the cham pion's face and hair tuned two shades red der. He rallied from the stroke, however, and he walked back towards the demure young person and said: "Yes, I did forget something. You may give me two dozen of them, the best you've got." "All right." responded the artless sales woman. "I'll throw in a couple of dozen of safety pins with them." Bob reeled to his corner and was count ed out. Julian ordered the box sent to the Fitz simmons home in New York. K0 CAMP SITE YET. Evacuation Commissioners in Havana Accomplish Little. Havana, Nov. 9.

IF YOUR HAIR IS FALLING OR FADING USB IT NOW. ALL IMAGINATION. Ab Incident Showing: What Children of Fancy Wo Aro. A funny incident oocurred out at Adel bert college a day or two ago. It was really an object lesson for the students, although but few of them had the cbanco to benefit t7 it. It illustrated in a humor ous way what slaves we are to our imagi nations. Out at Adelbert they are adding somo bays to the main building. This requires a foaffolding and considerable mason work. The masons stand on tho scaffold some 20 feet from the ground and chip" away at a portion of the old wall. The stone flies in fragments, and sometimes a good sized piece is dislodged. Then the masons cry out lustily and the workmen who chance to be passing below step aside. Thursday afternoon one of the masons chipped off a fragment about the size of a silver dollar. It fell on the planks at his feet, slipped through a crack and struck a workman below squarely on the head. The man flung up his hands and fell a,t full length on the ground. As he went down he managed to clasp his hands over his head. He lay as he fell, his eyes closed, h!s face deathly pale, his form as rigid as Etono. A passing student sprang to him and tried to raise him up. Tho workman was a big man, tall and heavy, and his dead weight was too much for the young fellow. He called to the masons, and they scrambled down and all together managed to raise him in a sitting posture. "See here," said the student who had seen the whole affair, "you are not hurt. This is the stone that struck you," and he held up the little fragment. The victim rolled his eyes in a ghastly manner, grunted painfully and let go of his head long enough to point to a heavy block that would have crushed his skull like an egg. "Nonsense," cried the other man; "that never touched you." The big man only groaned and showed signs of fainting. "Here," cried a passing professor, "let me look at your head." The masons by main strength pulled away the nlan's hands, and the professor carefully examined his head. There wasn't even a scratch on it. Then the masons laughed scornfully and went back to their work, while the man staggered over into the grass plat and lay down with his hands still clasp ing his uninjured head.

In the wreck of tha ill fated Mohegan on that point of rock known to channel seamen as tho Lizard, the thousand ranged, pitiless coast of Cornwall claims one more vic tim quite in keeping with ber past dark history. The Lizard, standing midway in that stretch of stormy water between the Eddystone light and Land's End, stretches ont into the English channel like a gaunt hand, ready to- elutch and crush any distressed Bhip that wind or fog may have brought ont of her regu lar course. Whatever the craft, be it a great hurrying Atlantic liner or a clumsy little Cornish fishing yawl, should she verge however slightly out of her regular channel course she must beware of the perilous Lizard. Bnt last August, when, I chanced to be in the south of England, I picked op ''7'

,1 ..''-j- ""v WRECKERS WATCHING FOR VICTIMS. a few significant hints about even darker things that take place along the coast of Cornwall. I was told that i was an old practice among oertain Cornish coast men to deliberately attempt to lead ves sels upon the rocks at night by means of "lure lights" for the sake of the plunder that could be washed np during the ensuing day. "But it ain't the dirty weather, said a rough coast guardsman whom I in duced to become reminiscent as he knit ted his tanned brow at some etrange craft that came swinging np the chan nel. "It ain't the dirty weather as al ways brings wrecks on this coast." Then, after all, the gentle art of ship wrecking hod not passed away with the pirates of Penzance, as most of the world seems to have thought. I pressed the coast guard for particulars. "Well," he said as he put down his glass, "I know this coast pretty well, and it seems to me these Cornishmon are born wreckers. It's bred in the bone with 'em, and they can't stop it them selves, so we have to try and do it for 'em. "Any coast guard along this shore will tell yon that they carry it on now and then right under our very noses. Even the best of 'em don't see anything wrong with stripping a body or two, and there's many a family around here as gets its bread aud butter from that sort of thing. Between you and mo, there's more of it happens than people inspect I" I asked him how the work was done. "Done:" said the guard. "Why it's mostly done with what we call 'lure lights.' And this is how they do it. The cottagers along this coast here once In awhile set a lamp swinging in their window. Nowadays as soon as we see one of those lure lights we go in and squelch it, but ence there was a time of a squally night when you'd see enough of 'em swinging away in the windows along here. Why do they do it? Well, out there" pointing seaward with his glass "of a dark night seamen natu rally think that swiuging light is noth ing more than a riding light or lamps on a lightship, or perhaps a vessel swinging at anchor in deep water, and naturally enough they come right for em every time. The first thing they know, of course, they have pounded upon the rocks and are going to pieces. "Yon see, times have been hard about here for many a year, and these people say they've got to live some way or other. And whenever a. wreck does come ashore a Cornish man seems able to smell it out like a bloodhound. After a big wreck they go swarming down those cliffs like red ants, and then yon can often see them fighting like hungry dogs to get held of the first body that comes ashore. It's queer, too, but they'll do anything to save a life, and help tha women and children, but when they're once dead they just plunder and noth ing more. Why, I've even known 'em to knock out the- teeth from a body 3ust to get the gold fillings, if they hap pen to see any. Of course we stop 'em from stripping the bodies when we can, but agnan can't be everywhere at once, and those folks are just like rats when there's a wreck anywhere about! "But if you want to hear about wreck ing along this coast, though, juet go up and see old John Torquay at his cottage over yonder. Ha was at it before Z wad born, and the old man likea to talk about old times. Old John Torquay's house waa two miles west of the village. I paid him a Visit and found him a gaunt, white' haired pld fellow of 90 years, palsied, but benevolent of aspect. "Ah, no, young man, "he exclaimed, with a pensive sigh, "times aren't what they used to bel What with Bteam and Lloyds and coast guards it's all a man can do to keep body and soul together. The old days are gone. Why, I mind now when the old Marathon came ashore nigh on 66 year ago. There was fine doings theo, and most of the stuff came floating in -like the gift of God when she broke np. I never seen a ves sel break np as nice as she did I Ah, we all had our jewelry in then) days, and there wasn't a good looking girl from Penzance to Land's End but had her Injun shawl, fit for the queen herself God bless her l and good silk, enough for a couple of Sunday gowns. I mind, too, it was old Jim Hetley as set the light that time. He was a daredevil, was Jim, dead and gone this 40 year. I mind we used to call him Old Kick, for he weren't one to stick at nothing, ha weren't. Them were good times then, eh? You mind, too, perhaps?" he asked wistfully as biij eyes watched a sturdy tramp steamer churning np the coast. The old man lit his pipe with shak ing fingers and then went on. It took him several minutes to gather up the scattered threads of his memory: "But those Injinmen days, young man, them were the good days for us. There waa no thieving and begging then. Every one of us was all honest men. They used to come rolling up the channel, two or three of 'em a week, and full of everything one conld ever want." He rubbed his gannt claws together at the thought of their wealth. "Yes, young man, and' most of 'em wore diamonds, end often the officers' buttons was real Cold. Bat that's all past now all past! Nowadays if a stiff southerly gale brings us a hundredweight of firewood we don't grumble. Steam has done it steam aud coast lights and now they keep too far ont to do us any good. And the boys tell me everything is going to the dogs. "But there was times, if yon'd be lieve it, when the women who'd come ashore had as much on 'em in the way of clothes and jewelry as one could earn in six month- in the quarries or year in a fishing boat. Why, these old hands have taken rings and lockets and chains and staff of that sort off of 'em as would make yonr eyes stand out, and most of 'em with silk underwear on as would break a young Cornish girl's heart I And the poor things would never miss 'em, would they?" the old wrecker stopped to query, with childish wistfulness. "It was the East Injinmen as always made the best wrecks for us, though we used to get plenty of good stuff out of the West Injinmen as well. Time and time again I've sat and watched 'em come lumbering into the channel with a good, strong .sou'wester astern of 'em, and then after it got a bit dark we'd set the lights agoing, and afore morning one or two of 'em would be down the coast yonder pounding herself to pieces on the rocks as nice as you please. By the time the reserve men got wind of it and came hurrying over from Penzance I fancy as chaps had most of everything we wanted out of her!" The old man chuckled with satisfaction at the memory of those days. "You see them rocks out there! Them rocks is like dog fangs. They chew right through a ship, and she's bound to go to pieces in an hour or two if there's any wind at all. I mind one case now why, it must be nigh on 50 year ago! There was a strong sou'sou'west wind on and just as dirty weather aa you could ask for, for it was getting on late in October. Just about nightfall we saw that Injinman ooming ashore with all her head canvas blown away. There she was plain as day. Then a fog blew between us. When it lifted about ten minutes later, there wasn't a stick of that big Injinman to be seen. She was a ship of way over a thousand ton and should have brought us in a decent return, but all that ever came ashore was a keg and two or three of the sea men. Yea, we waited out there all night in the rain and didn't get a thing off her, not a thing! "But steam has pretty well ohanged all that now. With those coast guards T -ti.fi r TAL- JSl--!-- -y -jpjtmeZZ A WINTER WRECK. always hanging round we don't ever get hold of a decent body. Nowadays they whips 'em away out of sight in a fash ion that I calls disrespectful. I remem ber in the old days they was all mostly carried down to the old Lamp inn, where they were all laid out, even and nice, in rows. And if they had any thing on 'em it wasn't what was worth the taking off. Then old Sam Sam Sorga, you know, as used to keep the old Lamp in them days wosJd let the folks in to see the bodies, charging 'em from thrippence down to a penny a head to get in, and children half price! And I mind a rare lot, a rare lot, used to come crowding up to the old Lamp to see 'em in the old days!" The old wrecker looked out over the rock bound Cornish coast into the blue distance of the English channel where the coastwise traffic of England went plying busily up and down. A coast guard on his beat along the cliff was silhouetted against the sun low in the west, and the old wrecker sighed a re gretful sigh. Akthur J. Stbikqkb.

Chairman Babcock of the Republican Committee Revises Sis Figures. Washington, Nov. 9. Interest in the election today centered in the political complexion, of the next house, the sen ate being conceded to be Republican. Although Chairman Babcock, of the Republican congressional committee, did not leave his headquarters until af ter 4 o'clock this morning, he was backs again at his desk shortly after 9 o'clock, despatching telegrams to all the doubt ful districts urging the chairman to hurry in the returns. Mr. Babcock in his figures takes nothing for granted. This morning he made what he termed an ultra -conservative estimate in which he eliminated a number of doubtful dis tricts. This estimate gives the Repub licans 1S5 members in the next house, a majority of 13 over all. The states he is most anxious to hear from are Illinois. Indiana, and Pennsyl vania. Last night he figured the defeat of Iloutelle in Illinois. This morning he says he finds that the Chicago congress man has pulled through but this gain is offset by the unexpected defeat of Wil liams in the Twelfth Pennsylvania. The state chairman in California telegraph ed that six Republicans were elected in that state with the probability of the defeat of Devries, Democrat, which would give the Republicans a solid del egation. Not counting on the defeat of Dervies, this is a gain of one as Mr. Babcock only figured on five Republi cans from California last night. J. L. Bristow wired that Kansas would send six Republicans and that Long had defeated Simpson, but the de teat of Simpson Mr. Babcock declines to credit until he receives further advices. Chairman Green of the Texas state committee claims three Republicans in the Lone Star state but Mr. Babcock only figures on the election of one, Hawley, n the Tenth. From Indiana no satisfactory advices on the doubtful congressional districts have arrived but Mr. Babcock In his calculations ad mits the loss of two districts, those ot Farris and Land is, either of which may have been carried by the Republicans. He figures a certain loss of three dis tricts in Illinois, leaving two doubtful. Brumme. Lewis, C. W. Stone and Woodin in Pennsylvania, he puts in the doubtful column. In his estimate ot 185, he does not include the doubtful districts. The returns in the east, middle west fi.nd northwest, show that the Repub lican losses were in the cities, while tha gains were In the rural districts and this encourages him to hope that when the returns come in later from some ot the districts which now appear to be lost they may be saved to the Republi cans. This is the case for instance in Page Morris' district in Minnesota. Mr. Babcock now figures on Morris' defeat fcut he thinks there is a chance of his election. There is also a chance of another Republican from California, one from Nebraska, one from Kansas, two from Wisconsin, one from Michi gan, one from North Carolina, one from Virginia and one from Kentucky. Chairman Kerr of the Democratic congressional committee had not ap peared at Democratic headquarters at 10 o'clock and no advices had been re ceived since he gave out his statement at 3:30 this morning. This statement claimed an opposition majority of 27. E. "W. Hughes Removed.

New York Man Claims to Have Ar ranged for a Lecture Tour. Cleveland, O., Nov. 9. Mr. Paul Meyer, a New York publisher, was a guest at the Hollenden hotel here today. He left Paris a few weeks ago, after having an extended interview with Mrs. Dreyfus, the wife of the Devil's island prisoner. Mr. Meyer was selected by a combination of wealthy men, he states, to go to Paris and secure the services of Emile Zola as a lecturer. He has just returned from there, and has a wonderful fund of information about the case which is now being watched with such great in terest throughout the civilized world. Mr. Meyer is quite certain that Zola will visit this country and lecture, and that within a comparatively short time. He declined to say for publication just where he met the famous French novelist, but admits that ho had a business interview with him. LELAND WINS AT TROY. His Candidate for District Judge is Sleeted. Will T. .Stuart of Troy, Cy Iceland's can didate for district judg in the district composed of Doniphan, Brown and Nema ha counties, is elected by a majority of 300. This was the most spirited judicial fight in the state and was full of interest to every Republican in Kansas, because a united effort was made to defeat Leland and his candidate. Doniphan county gave the Republican ticket a majority of about 600. It was 1.274 a year ago. One township remains to be counted. Mike Forrest, a Populist clerk of the elec tion board in Troy, was taken sick at 3 o'clock this morning and was compelled to give up the work of counting the votes. The officials of the election board have asked the attorney general for an opinion as to how they may fill Forrest's place and complete the count. STRANDED IN NEW 10RK. Seven of the Cuban Prisoners Brought Prom Ceuta Become Public Charges. New Tork, Nov. 9. The seventeen Cuban political prisoners who arrived here on the Kaiser Wilhelm II. from Ceuta last Thursday were released from the barge office today, with permission to go where they pleased. In one hour eeven of them came back as police charges, for they could find no one to help them In their destitution. Ten of them went to Newark. The others were homeless. The junta, had no funds for the unfortunates, and so the seven could do nothing but return to the immigrant clearing house. It is expected that they will be sent to Cuba on a government transport on the order of the state department. TO TAKE EGYPT. England to Formally Announce a Protectorate. London. Nov. 9.

President of a New York Insurance Company's Large Wages. NewYork, Nov. 9. Henry B. Hyde, president of the Equitable Life Assur ance society.and the most widely known man In the life insurance business in the world, is dying at his home, 9 East For tieth street. No information concern ing his condition can be sained from his family. His death has been expected for a week or ten days. He is said to be suf fering from heart trouble in an aggra vated form, and little hope is held out for his recovery. Mr. Hyde was born about sixty-five years ago In the Catskills and in his early youth he manifested the traits of leadership that have distinguished his conduct of the Equitable Life, which is the child of his brain. He draws a salary of $100,000 a year; probably the largest paid business man in the United States, if not In the world. The connection of Mr. Hyde with the insurance business in this city was in augurated when, many years ago, he was installed as cashier of the Mutual Life Insurance company. He was am bitious and formed the plan of life Insurance company of his own. He asked President Winston of the Mutual Life for assistance, was refused, and went about laying the foundation of the Equitable Life Assurance society him self. BURGLARS AT S.S. OTT'S Take $200 Worth of Property But Are Caught and Jailed. The home of Mr. S. S. Ott at 830 Folk was burglarized last night of $200 worth of property and jewelry and C. McCoy and F. Filings are in the city jail charged with the crime. Mr. Ott and family left the house last night at about 8 o'clock and returned at a little after 9 when the discovery of the burglary was made and at 11 o'clock the two burglars were behind the bars at the city prison. When Mr. and Mrs. Ott left the house to go to church they noticed two young men on the sidewalk in front of the house but thought nothing of it at the time. The burglars entered the house by climbing the front porch and cut ting a hole in the window and unfasten ing the window catch. The servant girl was in the rear room of the second floor and the hired man was in the basement but neither heard the burglars. The burglars turned on two of the lights in the front room occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Ott and ransacked the bureau drawers. The one room was the only one that was ransacked by the burglars and they were probably frightened away by the servant girl who went down stairs. As soon as- Mr. Ott discovered the burglary he telephoned to the police station and gave a de scription of the articles that were miss ing. Before the patrolmen had all been notified of the burglary Patrolman Frank Hendricks saw two suspicious looking men near the Union Pacific de pot in North Topeka and arrested them. The patrol wagon was called and the two men were taken to the station. When they were searched a knife was found on McCoy and a razor on Ellings that answered the description of ones stolen. This morning Mr. Ott identified the knife and razor as his property and the prisoners were turned over to the state. A search for the stolen property was made and in the fork of a tree near the Union Pacific junction a valise contain ing the following articles was found: One coat, four razors, two opal stick pins, gold watch, silver watch, two silk waists, six handkerchiefs, eight finger rings, six breast pin3 and a gold pen, all valued at $200. Ellings and McCoy have the appear ance of professional crooks. McCoy is well dressed, and has the appear ance of a college student. Ellings wears a neat fitting black suit and looks more like a crook than McCoy. "This is a case where the suspicions of a patrolman were aroused and ended in landing two burglars in the city jail," said Chief Strauss, "when Hen dricks arrested these two men on sus picion he did not even know that a burglary had taken place. If he had not arrested them on suspicion as he did they might have given us a merry chase." These two arrests make 62 cases that the police have turned over to the state since June 1st.

Fact Disclosed by a Memorandum Left by a Mob's Victim. Macon, Ga.t Nov. 9. H. S. Young, a railroad man here, has found among some plunder bequeathed to him by the negro Simon Cooper, who was lynched at Marysville, S. C. two years ago, a memorandum book containing a detail ed account of several mysterious mur ders in Georgia and South Carolina, one of them being the famous Woolfolk tragedy, near Macon, when nine mem bers were slain, only one, Tom Wool folk, escaping. He was the eldest son, and after two court trials was hanged for murder, because of circumstantial evidence against him. The South Caro linian, in the memorandum, says he killed the Woolfolk family, and was especially anxious to kill Tom. In the last line of the memorandum is the sen tence: "Tom was sly for me that night, but I'm even with him at last." This is supposed to refer to Tom's execution. A great many people have always be lieved Tom guiltless. His lawyer, John Rutherford, during a ten-hour speech in the court house, exclaimed: "I swear before Almighty God I believe Tom Woolfolk did not kill those people." In view of these facts, and also the circumstance that Mr. Young knows the negro was about here during the year in which the murder was commit ted, the memorandum book will cause a big sensation. The negro was one of the most notorious criminals ever run to cover in the south. He is known to have killed no less than ten people be sides the Woolfolk family. His diary tallies almost perfectly with Tom Wool folk's account of the murder of that family. He made his will before he killed the South Carolina family, for which he was lynched, and in it says he knew he was going to sooner or later be killed for his crimes, and he wanted Mr. Young, by whose family he had been reared, to have all his pos sessions. YANKEE SHIP CHEERED. Crowds at Southampton Celebrate the St Louis' Return to Peaceful Service. Southampton, Nov. 9.

The building 128 Washington street was stormed by 200 women this morning, all anxious to go to London as "companion" to the fam ily of P. H. Humphrey, who advertised in a recent paper. Mr. Humphrey prov ed to be 50 years old and baldheaded. His family was not in evidence. He had his pick of the flock and selected Mrs. F. H. Handley, a charming widow.. Just about the time he was getting into the good graces of Mrs. Handley, a tall, dressy woman burst on the scene, and in dramatic fashion shouted, "You vil lain." You scoundrel, I will not let you dupe this woman." Then she turned around and faced sone 200 women and told this story: "This man is a scoundrel. I answer ed this kind of an 'ad' two weeks ago. He said he would marry me. We went to the Clifton House and there register ed as man and wife. The wedding was set for this morning. He obtained my jewelry and $125, all I had. I waited until the hour of the ceremony and then a friend told me of this." Humphrey waited no longer. Through back doors, side entrances and base ment exits he decamped. It was a dreadful finale. Many women of good social standing were on the scene to get positions for female friends. They pulled down their veils and hurriedly made their exit. Twenty of the women were from the country. The police are looking for Humphrey, whose other alias is Hope. WORK OLD COPPER MINES. Five Properties m Ontonagon County, Mich., Consolidated. Houghton, Mich., Nov. 9.

"When the Sec ond Missouri regiment g-oes to Albany. Ga., today, the only officer left behind will be Captain V. 1j. Johnson, whose marriage, under peculiar circumstances, to Miss Bachelor, was told several days ago. Cap tain Johnson has been confined with acute rheumatism for several weeks, and for 57 days has not been able to turn himself in bed- When Miss Bachelor, who was his fiancee, came here a few days ag"o with Captain Johnson's mother, it was thought he would recover in time to go south with his regiment. Miss Bachelor would not leave him. and they were married. Since then the faithful young wife has watched over him as a mother watches over her child, but she has received no encouragement. Many of the officers of the regiment called at the hospital today to say good-bye to Captain Johnson, and in several instances the parting was af fecting. He said he hoped to be able to join the regiment before it left for Cuba. GRAPES ARE SOUR. Reports of Poor Crops in the Rhine, Stain, Moselle and Saar Districts. Berlin. Nov. 9. According to all reports from the Rhine district, the vintage this year is most unsatisfactory, both as to quantity and quality.
