FALL. RIVER, Nov f., p. m Returns
from four wards, including two Republi-
can strongholds, give Butler plurality
over Long of 4, 167. Two wards, not yet
reported, last year gave Butler 70o ma
jority. Buffers vote surprises everybody
His majority will probably be 200.
Four wards give Long 1921, Butler
1907 Adams and Eady very few.
BosToN, Nov. 4.-The defeat of Butler
is conceded by his friends, who allow
that Longs plurality will he 5000, but
there is every Indication that it will
reach 5000, and may touch 1900. The
legislature is Overwhelmingly Republi-
can.
Returns as far as received Indicate that
| Long, Republican candidate for Cover
nor. is elected from 10000 TO 1900 plu-
rality and this may be increased to 10,
| 600 by further returns. The Republican
candidates for state officers are probably
all elected, and the Legislature will bC
largely Republican. The vote shows {
material falling off of the votes as com
pared with last year, the prohibition
vote amounting to little. The straigh
Democratic ticket received but small
support

GRANT IN THE MINES.

Mr.. Robbins, formerly of Wichita
and now correspondent of the Chicago
Inter-Ocean, thus most graphically dc,
scribes going down into the Virginia
City mines with General Grant:
Your representative took a Turkish
bath with Grant down in the mines this
morning. This ought to be considered,
/ think, the climax of newspaper enter
prise, but / must add that ia the same
bath tub were Fair, Mackey, Governor
Kinkead, Mrs. Grant, Mrs. Fair, e. $.
Grant, Jr., and representative of the
New York Herald, and that the bath tub
was the 2, 100 foot level of the ConsoIid-
ated Virginia and California shaft,
After breakfast at the Savage mansion,
the party was driven over the high bluffs
of the town and down 10 the immense
building covering the ''C'' and I'D" shafts
Here, after being shown by Mackey and
Fair the pump which throws eighty
gallons at every stroke, and which alone
cost $500, 900, and the hosting works,
with their gigantic wheels and iron ca
bles, we were sent to our apartments. the
ladies in one and the gentlemen in an
other. Here we were ordered to remove
every shred of our clothing, and then at
tire ourselves in coarse stockings, cow
hide boots, pair Of blue flannel pants
and Jacket. And that was all
when the general appeared outside in
the miners suit, with his pants tucked
in his stocking tops and with the oldes

MINNESOTA.

ST.. PAUL, Nov. 4-Returns comes in
slowly from the country. Only few
small precincts being received. These
indicate much smaller total vote than
two years ago, and majorities porpor-
tionately reduced, There is much scratch
ing of all leading candidates. Pillsbury
(Republican) for Governor, falls behind
the ticket in most precincts, but runs
largely ahead in few. Gilman (Repub-
liean) for Lieutenant Governor, generally
runs ahead. 1t is not likely that the aY-
erage majority of the State ticket will
much exceed 10000, though returns from
large interior towns may materially in
crease the Republican vote Some few
precincts in south part of state, where
the bulk of votes cast show large Re
publican gains. In st. Paul, Rice,
(Democratic) for Governor, is running
ahead of the ticket and will have large
ajority-probably 5000. The great
amount Of scratching mokes the count
slow. In Minneapolis, Pillsbury's home,
the vote stands; PIllsbury, (Rep.) isis;
Rice, (Dem.) 800.

transportation between the great city and
the state at large, fer the Erie and the
Central are the trunk lines, all others be-
ing little more than feeders for them. IT
this process goes on a few years longer
unchecked, the great trunk lines of the
whole country will be under one manage
ment. 1t is inevitable, therefore, that
anything which tends TO hold i'm re-
strIint the railway monopoly should be
hailed with popular satisfaction. In this
light there is special satisfaction in the
fact, heretofore announced in the Jour
nal that the supreme court of the United
States has rendered Il decision sustain
ing the validity of the law of.congress
requiring the Pacific railroad company
to accumulate a sinking fund. 1t gives
sense of security to know that there is
power in the land which can enforce
from even such gigantic corporations as
the Union and Central Pacific railroad
companies, compliance with the law
They are not quite Il law unto themselves.
Especially satisfactory is IT in connec-
ton with the general principle laid DOVE
by the court, that railroad, in its capac-
lily of common carrier is subject Ia leg
ISi2tive control, Il re-affirmaiion OF the
| doctrine in recent test cases.

The lecture course Of the Monday
club at Topeka begins Monday evening,
under the following salutary rules:
The doors will be closed promptly at
eight o'clock and no one will be permit
ted to enter until the close Of the recIta-
ton then commenced. AT no time dur
a recitation will the doors be opened
No standing about the doors within the
hall will be permitted. All who enter
must be seated. The comfort and in
terest of the many shall not be disturbed
for the qualification or carelessness of
the few.
The same excellent rule ought to be
adopted to prevent annoyance caused by
those who have the bad habit of leaving
before the close of n performance, rs if
their time was SO exceedingly valuable
that TO get out of hall one or five min
utes in advance Of the audience was of
vital importance.
