AdditionaI Eleotion Retnrns.

PmIADELPHIA, Nov. Further re-
turns from various counties in this state
come in very slowly. From what has
been received. however, it can be estimat-
ed that Quay, Republican for state treas
urer, has Il majority of at least $1,000,
with a strong probability that that figure
will be exceeded. All changes in the
figures show Republican gains over the
majorities %telegraphed last night.
RICHMOND, Va, Nov. THE addi-
tiohal returns do not change the indica-
tons telegraphed last night as to Gen.
Lees majority reaching $1,000, and it
may go to 10000. As to the legislature,
sufficient returns have been received to
show that the Democrats have already
sixty-two out of 100 members Of the
house of delegates, and twenty.three cut
of forty members of the senate, The Re.
publicans have sixteen members of tn,
house and eleven senators. The c%ountie,
yet to be heard from will increase tn,
Democratic membership to two-third,
majority in both houses.

Brutal Wife Murder.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov. 4.-The body
Of Eva Herman, wife of Charles Herman,
was found in the rooms of the couple in
this city to-day. The couple were heard
quarreling on Sunday night, and the fact
that Mrs. Herman had not since been
seee, led to an investigation. The body
was lying in bed and the throat cut from
ear to car and hands Cashed in a strug-
gle, which the stale of the room bore
witness. The woman kept a market stall
and the husband is a butcher out of work.
He has been seen to enter the house
every evening and leave it every morning
since the tragedy, and as there is but one
bed, it is believed that he has been sleep
ing beside the corpse of his wife. He has
not been arrested.

Slowly Starved.

NV HAVEN, Conn, Nov. A case
Of inhuman treatment was unearthed yes
terday afternoon by DIR. Adams, agent of
the Connecticut Humane society, who
broke into the house of George Peck, Jr.,
the family being absent at Cheshire,
Conn, and released Mrs. Caroline Brooks,
"a years old, a widow, who had been con-
fined in a room there over two years. She
was locked in a little room which was
filthy in the extreme, filed with 4 most
dreadful stencil. The m was COW
cred with rags and the floor was strewn
with bones from which she had picked
what meat was given her. On a plate
was her single daily meal. 1t consisted of
cold salt mackerel and cold potatoes. She
was removed to the poorhouse. She is
the widow of Aaron Brooks, a soldier of
the war of 1912. She had a little prop
erty in Southington township which she
turned over to the township in trust to
take care of her during her life, in order
to escape falling into the hands Of Peck,
who was a distant relative. After making
the transfer she was surprised to find the
township had contracted with Peck to
take care of her, and he did it in the man
ner indicated.

saIisbury on Free Trade.

LONDON, Nov. Salisbury delivered
a speech in Victoria hall, London, this
evening. He denied that the Tories
wished To tax cereals, but said free trade
should not prevent an arrangement Of
duties in order to place England on a foot
ing with other nations. lie gave a ny
pothetical ease. If Spain refused to ad-
nit English manufactures, but admitted
those Of other countries, raising the du-
ties on Spanish wines by England would
o be an infringement of free trade prin-
ciples, but would be a iustifable r%etalia-
ton nor should England be prevented
from altering her tariffs in order to benefit
her colonies. The speech is considered a
bold bid for the protectionist vote.

Female Suffrage in New York.

New YORK, Nov. An organized
effort to vote was made yesterday by
women in nearly every district of the state,
Several ladies had been registered in this
city, two in Brooklyn, and several in each
Of the larger cities in the interior of the
state. including Albany, Troy, Utica, Ith-
AGA, jamestown and 0gdensburg. 1t was
not definitely known last night whether
any woman had actually accomplished her
purpose Of voting, but members of the
New York Woman's Suffrage party ex-
pressed themselves ns confident that in the
number registered a few, at all events,
had succeeded in getting their votes ac-
cepted. Three ladies made an attempt in
this city, but the inspectors refused to
take their votes. In one or two cases in
this city and Brooklyn, when offers to vote
and be sworn as voters were refused, sol
emn protests were entered, and in all
probability legal proceedings will follow,
if the courts will take action. II was only
last winter that the Woman's Suffrage
party came to the conclusion that women
could vote under the constitution of the
state, and consequently for the first time
a considerable number attempted TO cxer-
else what they believed to be their right.
1t is said that next year the women of the
state will make a similar attempt in very
large numbers. Il is found hat a large
number of women have voted in this state
in past elections.

Rules of the White House.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Private Secre-
tary Lamont explains the reason why the
president issued his order prohibiting of
flee seekers coming to the white house
was because he had been unable to do
anything else than listen to their impor-
t%unities; that he very seldom appoints
anyone who makes personal application for
Office, and that three fourths of those who
were constantly coming to see him were
chronic cases, men who had been in
Washington since March /, and who
being refused one appointment worked up
a lot of recommendations for another.
The president has always taken the ground
that personal interviews were superfuous,
and that he never appointed a man with
out having something in writing to show
what he was. In short. the president
finds, after eight months experience,
that a greater part of his time has been
spent with men for whom he could do
nothing, and he does not propose to waste
his time in that way any longer. Col.
Lamont explains that the order affects
members of congress as follows; During
November the rule is to be infexible.
The president during that month does not
intend to make any appointments or listen
to pleas from anyone or for anyone. He
must devote himself to his message and
to the other business already in arrears,
and which must be attended to before
congress meets. When the session opens
the president will consult with senators
and representatives on appointments and
other matters, but it is not intended to let
congressman have the run of the white
house as heretofore. Outside of the three
public receptions each week, all visitors,
including congressman, are to be admit
ted by card and on a statement of the
business on which they want an interview.
There is one custom which the president
intends to stop. Many congressman
whose regulations naturally open all doors
disposed to abuse their privileges.
The president is determined that the
white house shall not be n %lounging place
where politicians may gather to exchange
gossip and anecdote to the interruption of
the public business. 1t is the practice of
a certain class of public men to saunter in
with a group Of friends whom they expect
the president to entertain. Some poll
do this by design, They show by
this means their intimacy and influence at
white house, and the friends go home
much impressed by their member great
ness. Hereafter members of congress
desiring to introduce friends to the presi-
dent are expected to do so like other cit
at three public receptions each week.

LONDON, Nov. THE trial of Stead
and other defendants in the Armstrong
abduction case was resumed to-day. Chas.
Russell, counsel for the defendants, de-
clared that taking the child Eliza away
with her mother consent was no crime;
but the Judge held otherwise. Stead, who
acts as his " counsel, made a powerful
speech to the jury, dwelling particularly
on the righteousness of his motives in his
transactions respecting the girl, and de-
Tended the action of Mrs. Jarrett in refus-
ing to tbetray her confederate. Stead
claimed that the revelations of the Pail
Mall Gazette aroused the Indignation Of
the public, and enabled the attorney gen
eral to secure the passage OF the criminal
law amendment bill. so as to reach such
cases as mentioned in the Gazette. Mr..
Jacques, one of the defendant $, here
arose and exclaimed excitedly: He now
pr~osec1tes you for it, Stead, turning
towards Jacques, said hush! Jacques,
however, would mol be quoted and re-
peated the expression. Justice Lopez
then remarked to Mr. Jacques: you are
very indiscreet. Mr.. Stead concluded
his address by saying: 'If the Jury re-
turns a verdict of guilty | will not appeal
the case, but will bear the punishment
inflicted upon me by the court without
finchine. Applause greeted this dee
ln~rnlinn

II. Vanderbilt private secretary, identi-
fed the famous Sl50,000 check which
Mr.. Vanderbilt gave to Gen. Grant in
May 1884. He would not allow the check
to 90 ont OF husbands.
Col. Bliss, counsel for Warner, opposed
the motion to adjourn the case until next
week, on the ground that he feared hat
the district attorney intended 10 bring
Warren before the grand Jury before the
examination had been completed. The
case was adjourned in spite of his protest.

ST. PAUL, Nov. 2-Cyrus Yandes,
whose father, james W. landes, former
ly of indianapolis, died a few days since
leaving a colossal fortune for the young
man to settle, was found dead on his
father grave to-day. He had blown the
side of his head off with a shot gun with
suicidal intent. Grief for his father, his
lifelong inseperable companion, and the
responsibility Of settling a million dollar
estate for himself and sister in the alb
.sence Of a will, is believed to have unset
tied the young mans mind and led to his
tragic end.

Davenport Would Have Been
Elected If

NEW YORK, Nov. 4-The Eraliag
Post says: When the full figures of yes
terday' vote in New York are received
they will make an unusually interesting
study. At present it is possible to ron
slider only pluralities for the state as a
whole. These show plainly that if the
vote for Davenport in the state at large
had been as full as it was in this city and
Brooklyn he would have been elected. He
was, in fact, defeated by what has always
been considered the Republican strong
hold of the state-the portion lying north
of Harlem river. Hills total vote in the
city falls over 1000 behind Cleveland's $,
and Davenport falls over 1900 behind
Blaine's. The transfer of Tammany's
total vote from Blaine last year to Hill
this year, ought to have made a greater
change than this, and the fact that it did
not, indicates that many Independent
Democrats did not vote for Hill.
