RHODE ISLAND ELEorIoN.-Complete re
turns give Henry Howard, Republican can
drdate for Governor, 1922. Gen. C. G
Van Zandt, Republican candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor, lacks 400 votes of plural
ity, aud there is consequently no election t.
that Office. The Senate stands % Republi
cans to 9 Democrats, with two vacancies
and the House "a Republicans to IA Dem.
ocrats, with four vacancies. Last year the
vo'e for Governor was Padelford, Republi
can, 1885, Arnold, Democrat, S,447. The

CONNECTICUT ELEcTIoN-The election for
State officers and members of Congress was
held Monday. Henry P. Haven of New
London was the Republican candidate for
Governor, and Charles r. Ingersoll of New
Haven, was the Democratic candidate. The
accustomed bolt in New Haven helped de-
feat the Republican State ticket, and the
salary steal completed the work. The Re-
Publicans last year had plurality over the
Democrats of about 1900 and a clear ma.
jority of near 100. This year the vote
stands, Haven $4,000, Ingersoll, 4,9O1
Smith, Temperance candidate, 2,09l. To-
gersoll, majority 500.
The Congressional contest results in the
re-electiOn of the present members, three Re-
publicans and one Democrat, all of whom
had no hand in the salary grab. The MAORI
ties are for Hawley, 1882, Kellogg, 587,
otarkweather, 1921; and for Barnum
Democrat, ,440. 1t will will be seen tba,
the Republicans have majority on the Con-
gressional vote This is owing to the pop
ularity of Gen. Hawley in the LIST District
and to the fact that many New Haven Demo
Gratis deserted Ex-Gov. English for {" Steve
Kellogg. The Senate is Republican and
the House Democratic.

No WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN THE KEYSTONE
STATE. Miss Burnham has for some time
been pleading, in the Court of Pennsylvania,
for the right to vote, on the ground that the
word " freeman in the Constitution meant
both men and women. The case finally cam
up to thu Supreme Court, now setting in
Philadelphia, and on Saturday last, the un-
gallant old judge decided Miss Burnham could
not sast b illot. In other words, Miss Burn
ham must get married Ger she can exert a
personal influence 10 political affairs.

A newspaper correspondent, who went
down to the wreck of the Atlantic yesterday,
in Divers costume, stys that the hull lies
well down on the port side, and is broken in
several places. He found the forward hatch
open, and saw that the cargo there had
broken bulk, and lay in confused heaps, with
the bodies of men and women damned among
the cases and crates, bruised and torn.
Fishes were feasting on the bodies. La the
cDmpanion-way of the steerage cabin he
found hundred or more bodies lying IN an
immense heap; some were dressed, bat many
were If nude. In other apartments, bodies
we're also found The scepe Was horrible
beyond description.

The Chase Estate.

We published an article some time since,
entitled g English Estates,' in which, our
readers will remember, we gave reasons for
our disbelief in the various stories of i'm
mense estates in England that await the
claims of American heirs.
Mr.. WILLARD wrote to Gen. Schenek, max
ing inquiries in regard to this matter, as
many had applied to him for information,
We give the answer just received from the
American Legation. Mr.. c.. NJ. Fisher, to
whom Mr. WILLARD is referred for further
information, was lost in the late disaster off
Nova Scotia, and we give in another column
an account OF his DEATH To our knowledge
.'interes S - in this estate are made subjects
Of sale at the present time in Vermont, and
men who can i'll afford pecuniary loss, are
investing money in this wi ld-goOse chase, to
fad, we fear, a return of their venture only
on that happy day when the rainbow's pot
Of gold shall be unearthed.

TIE New HAVEN SwINDLE-The failure
of E. S. Scranton & Co., of New Haven,
Conn.,, proves ono of the worst that has ever
been known in New England. The firm
began business with q capital of $4,000
four years ego, and on the first of July,
1872. reported a surplus of $685. 900. They
had the confidence of the community, and
their depositors we're numbered by the hun
dred. Engaging in stock speculations they
lost heavily, and now trustee, appointed to
examine their books, reports their liabilities
at $500, 600, of which the assets will pay
only 5 per cent.
The people are greatly excited against
the firm because they continued to receive
deposits from poor men, after Knowing that
their failure was inevitable.

ART MATTERS.
Mr.. Pages Lecture ON "shalkespeare and
the Masko To-NfUht.

Mr.. Pages Lecture on "Shakespeare and
the Masko Tonight.
This evening MIR. Page will deliver at Steinway
Hall his lecture on shakespeare and the Mask
which embodies the results OF the experience
and investigation OF years. Those who are per-
sOnaliy acquainted with Mr.. Page know that he is
an accomplished talker The words which
stream nuenty from his lips always contain
interesting and frequently valuable ideas, but
he never remains monologist when he finds any
body ready and willing to give him valuable ideas
in return. The qualities for which he is eminent
as o painter and as Q conversational will very
likely fnd round and harmonious expression to-
night. Zeal, affection, patience, industry, genius
viii have worked together on the best
terms in the preparation OF the lecture,
and several masks upon which Mr. Page
has wrought at intervals for years will
give VIVID Illustration to his explanations. There
are those who believe that Mr.. Pages enthrs siasm
on this subject verges upon monomanIa but if
tney are rlgnt the monomanla Is based upon so adj
mirable foundation Of research, conscience, con-
victt0n and intellectual and artistic apor that IL is
pity professional men In this field are not oftener
haunted with such halucinations. II Mr.. Pages
doctrines are illusions they are illusions which
have enabled him to accomplish beautiful and i'm
portant results. We shall not be too much anticl-
patng the details OF the lecture by announcing
that 1t seeks to support the theory that the
Shakespeare mask formerly In the possession OF
the Won Kesselstadt family and now owned by a
descendant Of Mr. Ludwig Becker, and occupying
niche IN the cabinet of Prince Louis OF
Hesse-Darmstadt, Is the only authentic material
upon which modern likeness OF the great drama
tist can be based. We know that Mr.. Pages logic
wiz be fervent; we think IL will he strong. Hit s
hall as interesting as the Informal monologue OF
the painter in the secuson OF his studio IL win be
sure TO give pleasure to every one who appreciates
the theme.

THE BOARD OF EMIGRATION. The Commits
sioners of Emigration, at their meeting yes
terday. put the principle Of economy into
practice by cutting down salaries Of en-
ployes and abolishing Offices. The Super
intendent of Wards Island was dispensed
with by not filling the vacancy and leaving
the deputy to do the work, under the super
vision Of the General Superintendent at Castle
Garden. The Commissioners also cut off the
salaries Of the resident clergymen at Ward s
Island, on the principle, we presume, that the
good work they do is sufficient reward for
their services The Commissioners are either
SO godly as to believe that religious labor is
compensated fully in another and better
world. or SO irreverent as to reckon parsons S
work of very little account We see, how
ever, that the treasurer's salary was increased
from three thousand to four thousand dollars.
This is the difference between God and Nam
mon in the ethics Of Castle Garden.

AMATEUR DETECTIVES. Es.-There are several
amateur detective agencies in New York, and
they occasionally distinguish themselves by
curious vagaries Some of the parties belong
ing to such business are now under bail on
o charge Of attempted kidnapping and assault
in Jersey City. 1t appears that they held q
warrant and requisition for the arrest Of an
alleged offender against the laws Of this State,
and it is charged that they proceeded to cap
ture their prisoner and take him bodily to
New York without waiting for the formal pro.
ceedings. A collision with the police was the
consequence. An efficient regular detective
force is the more desirable because it renders
the amateur detective business the less likely
to flourish. We ought to have a good muni-
cipal force and law against these private con-
Germs, which are generally public nuisances.
