Jealous Railroads.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.

Special Telegram to the Globe.I
CHICAGO. Nov. 49, The jealousy with
which the two railroads, the Chicago, Mil
YANKEE & St. Paul and the Chicago q
Northwestern, watch each others move
ments in the extension of their lines into
the northwestern territory, is amusing to
those who take an interest in railroad mat
ters. Just at present both Of these rail-
roads are extending their lines in the new
Iy explored regions of Dakota territor
as rapidly as immigration will warrant
them doing so, and they keep up the race
so even that it is in a measure exciting.
The Northwestern is now at work on a
line which, when completed, will extend
from Iroquois, on the Fl. Pierre line near
Huron, Dakota, in a southeasterly dlrec-
ton to meet the extension in Iowa now
having its terminus in Caliope. This will
cut directly through the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul company's territory. The
grading OH this inc is already completed
from Iroquois south thirty miles to Salem.
The St. Paul company, on the other hand,
will, it is asserted, build line southeast
from Sioux City to the nearest point to
Council Bluffs, and then make such extern
sions as will give it a direct line from
the latter point to Aberdeen, and as
far beyond as that line will
in time extend The St. Paul has also, it
is understood. made the survey for branch
thirty miles in length, to run directly west
from Aberdeen, Dakota, which will in all
probability be built next summer.

CHALMERS. MANNING.

Tire Former Counted Out of His Seat in
Congress by the Secretary of State--Ex-
element Over the Result.
MEMPHIS, Nov. 1S.-A special from Jack
son, Miss, says: Considerable interest is
ming, late candidates for congress in the
Second Mississippi district. The secretary
of state to-day canvassed the votes and de-
cided in Manning's favor. The case occu-
pied the greater part of the day. Gen.
Chalmers was present; and was aided by
Col. Nugent, of the Jackson bar. in repre-
ssnting his interest. Immediately upon
rendering the decision the governor issued
certificate to Van II. Manning. AS it
has been generally considered that
Chalmers was elected by hand
some majority, it has occasioned
a nine days wonder. The case turned up
on the vote of Tate county and the
certificate from the county board of COM
missioners of election declared that Van
A Manning had received 1,166 votes, AMI
J.. R. Chamless 1872, as appears from
the foregoing tally sheet. This was duly
and officially signed, but on the reverse
where ''Chamless" appeared credited with
1,472 votes. This tally sheet was in diff
ferent handwriting, and was not officially
signed. Mr.. Myers held that the tally
sheet was better evidence of the intention
| of the commissioners than the certificate.
1t was claimed by Gen. Chalmess that if
this was true; if the tally sheet was
necessary, the votes of Gippolt, Union and
DeSoto counties should be thrown out, as
| there was none enclosed, whica would still
| give him Il majority. The secretary of
| state held differently, giving the 1,472
votes of Tate county to j. R. Chembless
and none to Chalmers, and sustaining the
returns in the other counties. The vote as
| officially announced stands: Manning.
1913; Chalmers, 8,257; Chembless, 1872
Carter, 129. Manning's plurality over
Chalmers. 429. Gen. Chalmers sued out
an injunction from the circuit court
enjoining Secretary of State Myers from
giving the certificate of election to Man
ming; also a mandamus from the same
court, both of which were disregarded. He
will at once enter upon vigorous contest
Proof was offered but not admitted that
| there was no such candidate as j. R
Chambers. 1t is the opinion of the bar
here and other emf ent visiting lawyers
that the decision of the secretary of state
is correct, and that the circuit judges in
reference was without authority of law.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1S.-In the superior court

ance companies whose headquarters are
outside of the state, to file with the state
auditor schedule of assets and liabilities
before doing business in Illinois, and to re-
