Topeka, December 3.-The Presidential
elector of this State met to-day and cast
the nine votes of Kansas for Blaine and
Logan. J. Nj. Miller was chosen mes
senger to Washington, and the following
resolution was passed:
Resolred, That we desire to convey to
our gallant standard bearers, James u.
Blaine and John A. Logan, an expression
of our confidence and esteem; that we re-
gard Blaine and Logan as private citizens
as higher and better representatives OF
American manhood than any official repre-
sentative of the Democratic party; tnat
we recognize in James G. Blaine the great
est living representative of American Re-
publicanism, and tender to him our earnest
thanks for his manly aggressive campaign
for Republican supremacy ; that Kansas,
the first born child of Republlcanlsm,
again pledges her fidelity to Repubilcan
principles, and in the future as in the past
Kansas will march at the head OF the he
publican column with Republican ma
.ority, in proportion to her popuiation'
larger than any other State.
The secretary was instructed to forward
a copy of the resolution to Blame ana
Logan.

New York SenatOrshID.

NEW YORK, December 4.--Chairman A.
Warren, of the Republican State Commit
tee, and Andrew 7. Draper, Chairman of
the Executive Committee are still at the
Gilsey House. According to the statement
of Mr. Draper last nights conference was
purely accidental and at least a dozen
gentlemen whose names appear in the
the morning papers as having attended it
were not present. He adds: There is
very general feeling in the western part OF
the State that the Senatorship should be
given to Mr.. Warren, and there is also
very kindly feeling towards him in all
parts of the State. Arthur is understood
as entirely Indifferent in the matter.
To-day ex-senator Platt. Congressman
Burleigh. and others of those at the con-
ference friendly to Morton's candidacy, met
in an Office down town and had secret
caucus. Conkling was in the Gilsey House
during the conferences.

Surgeon Generals Report.

WASHINGTON, December q Surgeon
General Hamilton, of the U. S. Marine
Hospital Service, has submitted his report
Forty four thousand one hundred and fifty
one patients received relief from this SER
vice during the pear, of which 1908 were
treated in the hospitals and 81 ,673 at the
dispensaries The danger from yellow
fever has been less this year than usual,
partly by reason of the lessened severity
of that disease in Mexico and Cuba, and
partly on account of the vigilance OF the
local health officers and medical officers of
the Marine Hospital service in charge OF
headquarters and the efficient patrol OF the
coast by the revenue cutter service. The
occurrence of cholera in Europe so soon
after its outbreak of last year in Egypt oc-
casioned much concern in this country
and measures were taken early to guard
against its introduction into the Southern
States The health officers of our seaports,
as well as the department, have been kept
advised of the departure of cargoes liable
to convey the infection, and steerage
passengers from Eu rOpean ports bound to
the United States have been carefully IN
spected by sanitary inspectors, acting under
the direction OF U. S. Consuls.

curing purchaser for Carmichael for the

COurt Decision.

Boston, December 4.-Judge Nelson, of
the United States District court, has given
a decision on the petitions for the limita-
ton of liability in the cases brought
against the Boston and Savannah Steam
ship Co. for damages arising from the loss
of the steamer City of Columbus. He says,
THE limited liability statute extends as
well to claims for personal injuries suffered
by passengers as for the loss of life of pas
sengers, and the insurance effected by the
owners on the steamship and cargo is not
an interest in such vessel and freight which
they are bound to surrender for the benefit
of claimants within the meaning of the re-
yised statutes"

Important Bills.

WASHINGTON, December 3-The follow
ing bills were introduced in the Senate to-
day and referred
By Wilson--Providing that railway
postal clerks shall hereafter be appointed
for probationary term of from three to
nine menths, and if the record of service
and conduct made in that time is salts
factory their permanent appointment shall
be made, subject to removal for cause.
By Dolph-Making Portland, Oregon,

tory, ports to which the act in relation to
goods applies.
By Miller (N Y.)-AuthOrizing the
President to place Brevet Major General
VIM w. Averill on the retired list of the
army with the rank and pay of Colonel.
Also, bill providing that the words Con
federate cruisers" in the act Ie-establish-
ing the court commission of Alabama claims
shall be construed to include for all pur-
poses of said act any and all vessels,
officers and crews of vessels, organized ex-
peditions Of the sO-called Confederate gov
ernment, or any of its officers, by which
vessels or cargoes of loyal citizens of the
United States were captured or destroyed
on the high seas, and that the act be con-
strued to mean any waters within the ad-
miralty jurisdiction of the United States.
1t further provides that any case already
heard involving the question of COnteder-
ate cruisers shall be reopened and reheard
upon due notice.
1t is the opinion of a number of mem
bers of the House Committee on Naval
Affairs that no action will be taken by the
committee on the recent recommended
tions of the officials of the Navy Depart.
ment for appropriations for new vessels for
the navy. They also think that the recon-
mendations will not be favorably consid-
cred by the House Committee on Appro-
priations.
An attempt to suspend the rules and
pass the bankruptcy bill will be made
early in January, but as itrequires two
thirds vote for suspension, it is not prob
able the attempt will be successful.

The Virginia Plague.

LOUISVILLE, KY, December "a COur
ier-Journal staff correspondent who has
been investigating the plague in Eastern
Kentucky, sends the following from Mt.
Pleasant tonight:
The further travel into this plague-in-
fected country the more horrible becomes
the situation and the more 1 wonder that
the entire population, or at least that pOr
tion of it who have been attacked by the
prevailing epidemic, have not been swept
into the world beyond. / am able to write
clearly only after conversations with men
from all parts of the county who are here
to-day from distances ranging all the way
from five to forty miles to secure supplies
and having grinding done. The water
mills in this county, as in most OF the
mountain counties, are useless because of
the scarcity of water and the steam mill
here is patrOnized by families living far and
near. From all these sources of lntOrma-
tiOn am able to make an estimate which
may be relied on as being as nearly correct
as any that could be made without a per-
sOnal visit to every house in the county.
There have been in Harlan county since
the latter part of August, over 200 deaths.
| met and talked with DR.. Blair. of this
place, this morning, and he is of the Opin-
ion that the recent rains and trosts have
had tendency to abatc the epidemic, the
virulence of which he thinks is governed
by the temperature. If the weather be-
comes about uniform night and day the
disease decreases, but cold nights and warm
days are inclined to give it new impetus.
As to the disease being contagious L find
a great diversity of opinion, but have ar
rived at the conclusion that it is so only
when the discharge from the bowels and
and urinary organs is allowed to stand and
fill the room with baleful odors, and when
people are careless about cleanliness and
ventilation. In this conclusion every ply
sician with whom | have talked supports
me- ,raand it is doubtless correct.
vi have now been at the county seats of
three counties in which the infection has a
foothold, Knox, Bell and Harlan, and in
these, which are but on the outskirts Of
the district in which it has been most fa-
tai sum up a total of 400 deaths since the
latter part of August from fux alone, and
fully the same number from other ills,
mostly resulting from the use of impure
or mineral poisoned water. If | include
the deaths reported to me by Rev. Mr..
Childers in both Menife, Wolfe, etc, it would
no doubt run the list up to 1000.
In day or two more | will be in Letch-
er county and Wise county, Virginia, and
after my trip through them will no doubt
be able to pretty closely estimate the num-
Der of victims in the entire territory which
the scourge covers. From reports received
here from Letcher county it is evident that
the cases of sickness have run into 800 or
400 and that the deaths have been about 5
out of 10.

Gossip About Cleveland.

NEW YORK, December A Washing
ton special to the Erening Post says:
A prominent Democratic member of
Congress, who recently visited Gov. Cleve-
land says the latter said to him, l intend
to resign on the 9th of January, and as
Lieutenant Governor Hill will administer
the Executive Office for the next year
have turned over the writing of message
to him. After laying down the duties of
Governor | shall listen to whatever my
Democratic friends have to say, and shall
divide my time between Albany and
Buffalo until the day arrives to 60 to
Washington. | intend to give due con-
sideration to the counsel of my own party
friends. 1t may be that when | enter the
Presidential Office some things may not
move as fast as some Democrats may wish,
but l think it will be better 10 90 slow
and 90 sure. We cannot hope to avoid
mistakes, but if we proceed slowly we will
make fewer mistakes than if we 90 rush
ing.
The member of Congress with whom
Cleveland talked says the Governor will
become President without any ambition
for second term, that he holds to the
second term principle laid down in his
letter of acceptance, and declared his OBJ
ject would be to administer the govern
ment so as to lay the foundation for
long continued Democratic rule. The
Governor incidently alluded to the report
of quarrel between him and Hendricks
saying that they did not in their conver-
satiOn discuss politics and that two men
neher parted more pleasantly.
This Congressman drew from his con-
versation with Cleveland that the latter
has not yet yet made up his mind with re-
gard to a single Cabinet appointment. He
is deferring these matters until he retires
from the Governorship.

Dynamite Explosion.

Boston, December A special to the
Journal saws There was a fearful ex-
plosion of dy Mantle and gun powder at
the house of Stephen Young at Stafford
n. H., to-day, by which eight persons were
injured. Four of them will die. Mr..
Young was having a well dug, and his
nephew, Geo. S. Young, of Lowell, was
showing how dynamite charges should be
used, when one exploded. The concus-
sion also exploded the remainder of the
cartridges and two kegs of powder The
injured are: Geo. S. Young, Stephen
Young, a man named Berry and one named
Foss, a daughter of Mr.. Young, Sadie
Greenfield, of Rochester, and two others
whose names have not been ascertalned
Young's daughter and Berry are dying,
and some of the others are very seriously
injured The house and its contents were
burned to the ground.
DOVER n H., December 5.-Later par
ticulars from Strafford show that Stephen
Young, in whose house the explosion was
previously reported as occurring, had a
party last night. There was dynamite for
blasting purposes on the shelf, and one of
the party, to scare the rest, fired a revolver,
the jar of which caused the dynamite to
explode The house was blown to atoms
and burned up. One person, Frenchman,
was killed outright and seven were
wounded.
Bonds to the amount of $4,000 and
large amount of railroad stocks were de-
stroyed
Miss Sadie Greenfield, of Rochester, was
blown through window and her head cut
open.
Several of those injured will probably
