counts and almost any result might
have been anticipated with reason.
Yhe Democratic candidate, Hill, and
probably the balance Of the ticket
headed by him, has been elected
apparently, by a small majority, the
city of New York giving an unusual
Democratic vote in comparison with
the whole vote. In this contest the
Independents, including some Dem
ocrats under this term, and the In
dependent press, gave their support
to the Republican candidate on the
ground that he represented the prin-
ciples advocated Ivy them and claim
ed TO have been adopted by the
president. From the stand point Of
the Independents, the result must be
accepted as rebuke to the president.
The Prohibition vote was larger
than at the last election and was
practically east for Hill, as it came
mainly from the Republicans.
The Republicans carry Iowa both
as to the state ticket and the legis-
Iature, in spite Of unusual and extra
ordinary combinations and dissen-
sions.
Virginia, although it will take
days to obtain full aud Trustworthy
returns, shows steady Democratic
gains. The old tissRo-ballot tactics
were resoited to in various parts Of
the state by the Democrats.
Except as to New York, the Re
pubIicaus have every reason to be
gratiGed at the result Of the cleo
tions. When it is considered that
the National administration is Dem
ocIatic, that New York is the Pres
ideuts own state, that Secretaries
Manning and Whitney have been
active in the bolstering up Of the
Democratic ticket, that funds were
more plentiful about Democratic

Siege Guns Built of Wire.
lChicago journal

Siege guns built Of wire are the newest
description of ordnance for the British
tional service. A very tough steel wire is
used, having a breaking strength of 100 tons
to the square inch. which is wound over a
steel tube as tape may be wound on a reel,
being frequently fastened off to secure its
cohesion and neatly put together as to
look precisely like solid metal. An expert
mental howitzer has been made upon this
principle, and passed a satisfactory proof at
the royal arsenal, Woolwich. 1t has a cali
Der of 10 inches, but weighs only about
1000 pounds.
In its trial this howitzer threw she'll of
$50 pounds, with charge of twenty eight
pounds and attained a velocity of 900 feet
per second-a suit which may be COM
pared with two guns of similar weight
which at present in the service. One Of
these is the eight inch howitzsr which fires
a shell of just half the weight-uamely, $50
pounds n velocity Of $50 feet, and the
other is the 100 FOUNDER gun of &C caliber,
which with, its light shot of 100 pounds,
manages to reach a velocity of |, 800 feet per
second. The trial weapon seems in no way
impaired by the strain to which it has been

A novel method of committing
suicide was that employed by a
Brooklyn reddler the other day.
He walked into a stone yard, and,
picking up big stone, threw it up
into the air and let it fall plump mp
on the top of his bare head. The
stone made deep wound, but he
nevertheless kept up the practice
and had succeeded in dangerously
lnjnring himself with the stones
when interrupted by officers. His
wounds were found not to be fatal

Carrying Goals to Newcastle has
long been the proverb for foolish
Trade enterprise. A few years ago
it would have seemed equally alb
surd to ship tea from Ceylon to Chi
nd, yet this is what has been done
recently on orders from foreign res
idents in several Chinese ports, who
had grown weary of the native pro
duct. If the taste for Ceylon tea
has become general, it may lead to
a large trade in what used to be re-
garded as the safe monopoly of the
STlestials.

The narrow, rocky point of land on which
the city is built has :. backbons through the
middle and slopes on both sides and at the
end down to the waters edge. No city was
ever better situated for drainage. There
can be no apology for its not being perfectly
drained. On a fine morning when you have
taken q very early cup of coffee. you
saunter out for a walk on the ancient ram
