WASHINGTON, Nov. THE President
made the following appointments to-day
James A. Bsysrd, of Maryland, to be Secre.
tary of Arizona; Joseph c. Straughan, OF
Indiana, to be.Surveyor General of Idaho;
James Dawson, of Colorado, to be Surveyor
Central Of Colorado; John Hise, of Arizona,
to be Surveyor General of Arizona.
The Commissioner Of the General Land
Office has refused to approve q list of the
lands selected by the Northern Pacific Rail-
road Company, including about 5000 acres
In Washington Territory, embraced within
the forfeited grant Of the Oregon Central
Railroad Company. The Northern Pacific
Railroad Company's line from Portland to
Tacoma traverses portion Of the forfeited
grant, aud that company claimed the tract
on the ground tina, it had not been with
drawn for the benefit of the Oregon Central
Railroad. The Commissioner, In his deci-
sion, holds that II is immaterial whether or
not the lands are withdrawn for the Oregon
Central, for as the tract had heen 81 an,ed in
the first place TO the Oregon Cent,ai, they
could not have been included In The grant to
the Northern Pacific, even If any grants OF
lands had been extended by the Joint resolu-
ton Of May 81, 1870, upon which the North
ern Pacific bases Its claims.

The jury returned to the court room at

storms ever known In this State passed over
this section Of the country just north of this

growing crops, and leveling forests aud
houses for miles. The cyclone was accom-
panied by torrents of rain and appalling
electric discharges. II started on the Ca
tawba river, passed through Dallas, Perry
aud BID counties, leaving a dead waste Of
forests, plantations, houses and villas. Ex.
ploring and relief parties say that the track
OF the cyclone was half M lie wide. They

of potatoes, ETC., were torn up from The
ground, and even the trees and cotton stalks
were barked. Relief parties are searching
for dead and dying everywhere. Everything
Is being done TO relieve the destitute. The
negroes are frightened nearly TO death, and
huddle together or squat alone unclad in the
bushes and under fallen trees, stupefed and
speechless with fear and superstition, unable
to tell where any of their household Is. The
city Is being canvassed for money and sub
scriptions to bury the dead aud relieve the
wants Of the destitute.

AFFAIRS IN EUROPE.
Russia and Austria Getting Ready for strug-
gle In Bulgaria.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-A st. Petersburg
correspondent has succeeded in sending to
London by circuitous route letter which,
although now five days old, gives more
graphic, plausible and impartial statement
of the attitude of the European powers In
been published. This correspondent says
the Russian censorship of press kilograms Is
more rigorous than ever before, and censors
have become so skillful in reading cipher
dispatches that the telegraph is practically
useless TO newspaper correspondents. From
information contained in this letter it is evil
dent there is intense and growing hostility
between Austria and Russia. 1t is also
made clear that all Europe is engaged in an
endeavor TO conceal this fac. and to mini
mize the danger of the situation. The
speeches of Francis Joseph aud Count Kali
noky, the pacific utterances of DE Gers, and
the soothing articles of the German official
press, all have the purpose and tendency TO
KEEP OTHER POWERS QUIET
Until Austria and Russia are ready for war.
In st. Petersburg war is looked upon as a
certainty, and Bulgaria is generally regarded
as the probable battle field.
The consensus of opinion In the official
and military world of Russia is that Austria
is using Servia as cats paw, not to capture
Bulgarian territory, but to paralyze the Bal
kan Conference at Constantinople by show
ing the ambassadors that var Is imminent.
Il is also believed in Russia that England Is
privy ID this scheme, and Is abetting Austria
In her maneuvers to get better position;
that Russia is preparing for an inevitable
conflict. Activity of war preparations in
Russia continues undated, aud with the
splendid state of efficiency in which the
army was put last spring, in view of posi-
BILE war with England, and the steady drill
and discipline since maintained in every de-
partment, 1t is doubtful If the Russian army
was ever better organized or equipped for a
great war than it is at the present moment.
STRICKEN FROM THE LIST.

Prince Alexander Of Bulgaria has been

THE OHIO ELECTION.
Hamilton County Gave Republican Majority.


CINCINNATI, November THE Inspec-
ton Of returns In the Hamilton county Sem
atorial case before the circuit court disclosed
some remarkable discrepancies during the
examination and cross examination Of Coun-
ty Clerk Dalton this afternoon, which in all
probability will result In the election of the
entire Republican ticket. The case is yet
In complicated condition, but the indica-
tions after to days proceedings point to
changes In the official count which will make
the county Republican instead of Demo-
cratic. At the session of the court to day
the testimony was given altogether by
County Clerk Dalton, and referred to the
discrepancies between the total votes cred
tied to the Senatorial candidates, and the
number of names on the poll book. Thus
lie some precincts the vote on Senators as
returned by Dalton would exceed by score
or more votes the total number of voters
registered. The court has not yet decided
how to count such precincts; whether to
throw out the entire precinct, or only the
excessive vote, or divide the loss on the ex-
cessive vote pro rata between each candi.
date. Assuming that the excessive vote will
only be taken from the Democratic candi-
dates the results of to-day's examinations
will be about as follows In ten district pre-
cincts the Republicans gain 1853 votes. In
precinct A, Fourth ward, the Democrats lose
342 votes, and If the whole precinct IS
thrown out 926 votes the total Republican
vote in this precinct was As. These changes
alone would suffice to elect the Republican
Senators, but testimony was also taken in
regard to precinct F, of the Ninth ward.
The whole returns were sent in on Duck
worth club sheet and in very loose manner.
According to the decision of the court a few
days ago, this entire precinct, which is Dem
ocratic, will be thrown out on to-day's testi-
mony, as the court in his decision announced
that In case the allegations then set forth by
the Republicans as to the irregularities in
the precinct were proven, the vote would be
thrown out. To days testimony, 1t is
thought, will result in this action, although
1t is not yet formally decided. Precinct E,
Eighteenth ward, will be similarly treated,
as Dalton's testimony suhst antially supports
the charges of the Republicans that the
counting was not commenced until several
nights after the election and that the returns
were handed In tn Dalton in an unsealed
envelope, while he was making the official
count. This precinct Is also Democratic.
Thus 1t will be seen that charges sufficient
to wipe out the Democratic majority have
already been discovered, and 1t now remains
for the investigation to proceed still further.
In case the court decides the case In favor of
the Republicans, the Republican candidates
of the entire county ticket will contest, as
but two or three were credited by Dalton
with as many votes as were the Senators.
The investigation Is being conducted with
caution, and may not end for q week.

THE New York Tribune, In explanation
OF the defeat of Davenport, says: "The full
vote Is not yet reported from ell counties,
and will not be for some time, but com
parlson can now be made on nearly so per
cent. Of the entire vote. II appears that
while more than 5000 Republicans who
voted for Blaine In 1884 failed to vote for
Davenport In 1885, the increase in the prohi-
billion vote In those counties was less than
1000. The Democratic vote also fell on
largely, but in the State less than the Re-
publican rote. Moreover, 1t appears that
the Republican losses were TO . great extent
In the country districts, where the rural pop
ulation was deferred from voting BY bad
weather, which had prevailed for some days,
or by over-cosiIdence In acme quarters, or
disheartenment and apathy In others. II IL
plain enough that n half tho $4,000 Repub-
Iicans who stayed It home In counties from
which returns have been already received
had taken the trouble TO cast their votes, the
administration would have been defeated in
the Presidents own State In the 6nt rear or
his term"
