The attention OF advertisers IL called To
the above figures. They show that, taking
into account the extent aud quality OF cir
culation, which alone are the measure of
value In gaining publicity for business an
nouncements, 1t does not cost half as much
TO advertise In THE STAR as IL does In any
other paper In Washington, however low
1t may assert its terms to be. What the
Advertiser trants is 10 reach e eyes Of the ,ch ole

The Senate has done well IN passing the
bin providing for the counting of the cleo
toral vote for President and Vice President
The vote, while a close one-32 10 26-does
lot indicate strict party division, since
three democrats fMessrs. Key, Merrimon
and ThuImaa) voted in favor Of the bill, and
three republicans (Messrs. Conkling, Ed
munds and Howe) voted against IL. Before
adjournment, however, Mr.. Thurman en-
tered q motion to reconsider the vote by
which the bill was passed, intimating that 1t
was defective In that 1t makes no provision
In case where there are two election returns
from a state. This is certainly an import.
ant omission, and one which the Senate will
probably deem II its duty 10 supply.
