KENTUCKY STILL IN DOUBT Repbblicans Claim the State by Small Majority—Coombs Alleges Fraud. Democrats Stand by Their Former Figures of 10,000. Washington, Nov. B.—Assistant Seo retary of War Meiklejohn today tele graphed hero as follows: t FuLLERTON, Neb., Nov. 8. —Nebraska is redeemed. McKinley has carried the state by nut less than 5,000. The legis lature is Republican, both houses.” Nov. B.—Vice Chairman H. O. Payne of the Republican national committee today received a telegram from the chairman of the state commit tee of Nebraska stating that the Repub licans carried the state by a small ma jority; also that they have the senate and in all probability will be able to or ganize the house. Leslie Combs, chairman of the Repub lican state committee, telegraphed Mr. Payne that an official count will be nec essary to decide the electoral vote of Kentucky. The telegram states: “Three thousand legal Republican votes remain uncounted in the ballot boxes. Other frauds will cost us 5,000 votes.” KENTUCKY CLAIMED BY BOTH it Will Require the Official Count to Determine the Result. Louisville, Nov. B.—At both Demo cratic and Republican headquarters to day the leaders adhered to their claims of last night, the Democrats declaring that Beckham’s majority will not be less than 10,000. Sixty-two precintsare still out and most of them in the ex treme sections of the state, in the First and Eleventh districts. The Democrats assert that the Repub licans are holding back the Eleventh district, while the Republicans say the Democrats are holding up the First dis trict for the showdown when it becomes definitely known just how many votes are needed. The Democrats say there is no doubt whatever of the result, but the Republicans say they will be satis fied only when the official count is made. They say there has been the most fla grant padding in Owen, Franklin and other counties, but no details are at hand in support of the assertion. Democratic leaders ou the contrary say there has been no fraud whatever and that they will be perfectly satisfied to stand by the official count. FULL VOTE IN DELAWARE. Offioioal Count May Change the Com. plcxion of the Legislature. Wilmington, Del., Nov. B.—Unofficial returns of the election in Delaware show the total vote to be as follows; Bryan, 17,848; McKinley, 31,frill. Mc- Kinley’s plurality, 4,013. McKiuley car ried every county. The official count is being made to day and while it may change these fig ures. it will make no difference in the result. Alexander M. Daly, Democratio nom inee for congress, ran about 1,000 ahead of the Bryan electoral ticket. There is no change tn the complexion of the legislature as given out yester day, but there is great interest in the official count of today, as there is a probability of the count changing the result in some of the close districts, and possibly changing the complexion of the legislature from Republican to Demo cratic. The count will occupy all day and run over tomorrow. QUAY HAS SMALL MAJORITY. Complexion of the Pennsylvania Leg islature as Unofficially Reported. Harrisburg, Nov. B.—lt is figured here by those who have kept a close watch of the contest for the control of the next legislature that the two branches will line up as follows: House, Quay Republicans, 106; anti-Quay Re publicans and fusionists, 55; Democrats. 48. Total, 204. According to these figures the Quay have only three votes above the 108 necessary to organize the house. Senate, Quay Republicans, 25; anti- Quay Republicans, 12; Democrats, 13. &tal, 50. This would make the senate a tie as between Quay and anti-Quay.

HAS RESUMED HIS DUTIES After Breakfast He Gives Ills Atten tion to Several Important Matters. Admiral Dewey’s Collection of Gifts. Other Washington News. Washington, Nov. 8. President McKinley and party arrived at 8 o’clock this morning. Several hundred people had assembled at the Pennsylvania de pot to bid the president welcome and a large number of police were on hand to prevent a crush. Secretary Hitchcock, General Corbin and other officials gathered about the platform of the president’s private car and were the first to welcome and con gratulate him. The crowd outside broke into hearty cheers when the president made his appearance with Mrs. McKin ley. After a hasty greeting the party was driven to the White House, where the president had breakfast and then re turned to his duties. The trip beyond Pittsburg was at night and uneventful, although knots of people were gathered at the stations throughout the night to see the train go by. FIRST COLD WAVE OF SEASON Freezing Weather Predicted Snow West of the Ohio River. Washington, Nov. 8. —The weather bureau issued the following bulletin to day: The first well marked cold wave of the season covers the middle western and northwestern states, with a mini mum reported temperature of 12 degrees above zero at Huron, S. D. Freezing weather is reported in southern Kansas and southern Missouri, and snow has fallen as far south as the Ohio river. Tonight the line of freezing tempefb.- ture will extend over Arkansas and Tennessee and heavy frost will occur in the central and northern parts of the middle and east gulf and South Atlantic states, excepting Florida. In the Atlantic coast states from Vir ginia north the temperature will be much lower Friday and snow flurries will occur from the lower lake region and upper Ohio valley over the North Atlantic states. The will continue low over the eastern par’ 6? the country Saturday, but will Sadder ate rapidly with rain iq the sulf and southwestern states during Friday night and Saturday. PROGRESSING VERY SLOWLY Ministers Have Not Agreed on a Basis of Negotiations. Washington, Nov. B.—Additional re ports from Mr. Conger today record tljo progress of the efforts being made at Peking to bring the foreign ministers into agreement as to the basis of negoti ations with China. The department still declines to make public any of the details in the deliberations of the min isters and it appears that this reticence is a matter of international agreement, the purpose being to avoid presenting any of the differences that may arise from time to time to the notice of the Chinese plenipotentiaries who might use them to serve their own ends. However, the statement iq reiterated that progress is being made toward a satisfactory conclusion and it is hoped that within a short time it will be pas sible to at least initiate the formal ne gotiations with the Chinese plenipoten tentiaries. Dr. Geddes Ordered to London. Washington, Nov. 8. Dr. T. A. Geddes, chief of the miscellaneous divi sion of the bureau of animal industry of the United States department of agri culture, has been detailed as a special inspector and ordered to Great Britain to inspect cattle intended for importa tion into the United States, The increas ing prevalence of contagious diseases, particularly tuberculosis, has made this action necessary for the protection of this country. Dewey Removes His Gifts. Washington, Nov. B.—Admiral Dew ey has removed his collection of gifts, which has occupied the most prominent place in the Hall of American History in the National museum, to his home in Rhode Island avenue. The collection has assumed very large proportions, rep resenting thousands of dollars in money value, and is almost daily added to by some admirer of the great sailor. Report Is Discredited. Washington, Nov. B.—-No advice hps yet been received here confirming the report that Russia has annexed territory in Chih-Li province and the impression prevails that if the Russians have occu pied any territory there, it is simply a military movement in preparation for the maintenance of the Russian forces at a suitable base on the road to Peking for the approaching winter. Appointed Procurator General. Washington, Nov. 8 Very Rev. Peter J. Franciscus, for several years superior of Holy Cross college, affiliated with the Catholic University of Amer ica, has received his commission as pro curator general of that order, with headquarters at Notre Dame, Ind. Rev. Father James Burns of Indiana has been appointed to succed him in Washington. New College Opened. Washington, Nov. B.—The Sisters of Notre Dame opened Trinity college for the higher education of women near the Catholic university yesterday, but the structure will not be formally dedicated until the latter part of this month.

Baking Powder Economy The manufacturers of Royal z 1 Baking Powder have always declined to produce a cheap baking powder 7 at the sacrifice of quality. The Royal is made from the most highly refined and wholesome ingredients, and is the embodiment of all the excellence possible to be attained in the highest class baking powder. Royal Baking Powder costs only a fair price, and is cheaper at its price than any similar article. j Samples of mixtures made in imitation of baking powders, but containing alum, are frequently dis r.tributed from door to door, or given away in grocery stores. Such mixtures are dangerous to use in food, and in many cities their sale is prohibited by law. Alum is a corrosive poison, and all physicians condemn baking powders eoatarnwg it. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., 100 WILLIAM ST., NEW YORK. BRYAN WILL NOT ACCEPT. Has No Desire to Be United State* Senator From Nebraska. N«w York, Nov. 8. —The Evening Journal prints the following telegram from William J. Bryan: “Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 8. —To the Editor of The Evening Journal: You may say officially that under no circum stances would I accept the office of United States senator even if it were tendered me. I made my fight for the presidency and I lost. lam not going to take other men’s positious from thenL'L. Clark Sweeps Montana. Helena, Mon., Nov. B.—Complete re turns show the next legislature will be composed of 53 Clark Democrats, 33 Re publicans, eight Daly Democrats and one Populist. The Clark state ticket is elected by about 7,500 ma jority. Practically complete returns show Bryan’s majority to be 8,000. Bryan carried the state four years ago by over 88,000. Bryan’s Plurality In Idaho. Boise City, Nov. B.—About four fifths of the vote of Idaho has been re ported. Bryan has a plurality of 1,880; Glenn, fusionist for congress, has 892 and Hunt, fusionist for governor, 1,441. The fusionists have 43 members of the legislature, the Republicans 25 with three unreported. This will retire George L. Shoup from the United States senate. Bryan Congratulates McKinley. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 8. —William J. Bryan sent the following telegram at noon today to President McKinley: “At the close of another presidential cam paign it is my slot to congratulate you upon a second victory.” Fusion Majority of 74. Denver, Nov. B.—The fusionists will have a majority of 74 on joint ballot in the legislature which will elect a suc cessor to United States Senator Wolcott.

AMERICUS, GA., NOV. 9, 1900 In a few days the talk of stuffing bal lot boxes will shift to the more pleas ing subject of stuffing turkeys. After several severe Hukes the Weather Bureau has finally succeeded in getting in touch with the weather. “It is more of a reflection on the peo ple of Lincoln than upon Wm. J. Bryan that he failed to carry his nwn ward,* says the Augusta Chronicle. More than 17 per cent of the waiters in Germany and 21 per cent of the waitresses receive no wages at all, be ing expected to subsist on fees. Suspicion grows that the author of the Cleveland interview is the gentle man who sent the oil-boiling specials from Shanghai.—Baltimore American. The New York and Pennsylvania pa pea have added a new department un der the heading “Shot on the Hunting Field.” It is already crowding out campaign news. The editor of the Columbia State says: “The time approaches when to have striven with Bryan for the repub lic of the fathers will be the title of American nobility.” A number of commercial bodies are now protesting against the continuance of the so-called “war taxes,” but there seems to be little chance of the abso lute repeal of those taxes. The leader of the Marine Band at Washington, D, 0., gets $15,000 a year and the first and second class musi cians S6O and SSO a month respectively. They are allowed ration money in all cases. A curious feature of the campaign just closed has been the almost entire with drawal of Senator Platt from public gaze. But this does not mean that the “easy boss” hasn't been working un der cover. The announcements of gubernatorial aspirants are premature. It wdl be two years before Governor Candler’s successor will be elected, and the peo ple will take their time in deciding who they want for this office. The Augusta Chronicle thinks if Chairman Jones, Chairman Richardson, Vice-President Stevenson, Richard Croker and other democrats were called on today to read their ante-election predictions they would have a bad case of nausea. Discussing the fact that one Georgia legislator has stabbed another on a railway train, the St. Louis Post-Dis patch argues that unless statesmen conduct themselves in a more civilized manner on the cars, their free passes should be taken away from them. Since 1890 the fifteen Southerp States have increased their population from 22,449,289 to of 3,890,- 029. While there .'has been more or less of this immigration from other there has been very little 4fom other countries. Presidential elections in this country are nothing to be sneezed at. In that matter of paper alone it requires eighty tons to supply the State of New York. The paper trust has a soft snap on the and wouldn’t care if elections came quarterly instead of quadrennially. The transport Sherman, it is noted, arrived at San Francisco Thursday with the following human cargo: Dead, 51; sick, 468; convalescent, 58; insane, 12, The transport Meade is now on her way across the Pacific, with three hundred soldiers, who are shattered in mind and body; the Logan left Man ila last Tuesday with a cargo of two hundred and seventy three sick men.” It is a ghastly procession, and just what glory we have won to compen sate for the exhibition is yet to be de termined.

His Philippine policy is approved. The effort to make imper ialism the paramonnt issue failed. The returns show that the money question was the one the people were thinking about while the orators and newspa pers were discussing militarism and the trusts. There is no other explanation of the large vote for Mr. McKinley in all of the Eastern states, the great states of the Middle West and particularly in New Y’ork city, where Mr. Croker had promised a Democratic majority of at least 80,000. There is no doubt that he did the best he could for Mr, Bryan. He could not, however, allay the ap prehensions of business disaster and in dustrial depression aroused in that great money center by Mr. Bryan’s ad herence to the 16 to 1 idea. Indeed, that apprehension existed throughout the entire country. It was as notice able in the South as elsewhere. Thou sands of Southern business men voted for Mr. McKinley for that reason and other thousands did not vote at all. Under the circumstances Mr. Croker did very well. He gave Mr. Bryan a majority in New Y’ork city, though Mr. McKinley carried it by a large plurali ty in 1896. It is true that as compared with 1896 there was a falling off in Mr. McKin ley’s majorities, particularly in Mass achusetts, but that state was the headquarters of the AntLlmper iilistic League. Massachusetts is so strongly Republican, however, that there was no fear that its electoral vote would be given to Mr. Bryan,and, therefore, many Kepubl cans, doubt less, voted their convictions on the Philippine question. In the West, as in the South, the question of imperial ism made very little impression. The American people are not willing appar ently to admit their inability to sus tain their flag in the Philippines. Be sides, there is a very considerable sen timent in all parts of the country in fa vor of expansion. The money question, however, was the one that decided the contest. If Mr. Bryan had abandoned silver he would have come nearer being elected. Indeed, the probabilities are that he would have been successful. There is no doubt that he made a remarkable campaign. If he had dropped the silver issue he might not have had the sup port of the Populist party, but the loss of its support would have been made up from other sources. The Demo cratic party has gained nothing by its fusion with the Populists. The Democratic party will never rely upon silver again as an issue. Its nex battle will be fought with different issues and under different leaders. Savannah News. The New England Anti-imperialist League can at least point with pride to its activity ill spreading its gospel dur in the present campaign. It has sent out 2,000,000 prices of literature, con sisting of about 1,200 different articles, and has expended $20,000 exclusive of the money spent by individuals in the same line of missionary work, A sam ple of this individual enthusiasm is fur nished by a gentleman who is said to have spent nearly $3,000 privately in postage for the distribution of anti-im penalist literature. Eczema’s ITCH IS TORTURE. Eczema is caused by an acid humor in the blood coming in contact -with the skin and producing great redness and in flammation little pustular eruptions form and discharge a thin, sticky fluid, which dries and scales off; sometimes the skin is hard, dry and fissured. Eczema in any form is a tormenting, stubborn disease, and the itching and burning at times are almost unbearable; the acid burning humor seems to ooze out and set the skin on fire. Salves, washes nor other exter nal applications do any real good, for as long as the poison remains in the blood it will keep the skin irritated. BAD FORM OF TETTER. “For three years I had Tetter on ray hands, which caused them to swell to twice their natural size. Part of the time the disease was in the form of run ning sores, very pain ful, and causing me much discomfort. Four doctors said the Tetter had progressed too far to be cured, and they could d> nothing for me. T t x>k only three bottles of S. S. S. and was completely cured. This was fifteen years ago, and I have never since seen any sign of my old trouble." Mrs. h. B. Jackson, 1414 McGee St., Kansas City, Mo. S. S.

Sir Wilfred Laurier’s Re-Election Is Heartily Approved. r London, Nov. B.—The editorials in the papers here today express warm ap- 5 proval of the re-election of Sir Wilfred Laurier, the premier of the Dominion of Canada, and the return of the Liberal 1 government to power. The Pall Mall Gazette voices the general tone of the comment in saying: J “Sir Wilfred Laurier is the living em bodiment of the spirit required in Can ada.
