occupied; that the Bulgarian town of
Widen be given to Servia in order
to weaken Bulgaria and coRciliate
Servia. and that the districts of Her.
mssli, Hoakanli, and Pomak be seized

tates between these divergent counsels,
leaning rather to the policy of con-
Citation. Meanwhile the military
preparations are unabased. Krupp
has been urged to hasten the delivery
of guns, payment for which has been
guaranteed. Everything indicates an
early invasion of Bulgaria. 10 lead
ing Turkish circles the opinion is ex-
pressed that the ms ority of the powers
are inclined to refuse to recognize the
Bulgarian union, as they consider
that that course would be the least
dangerous to European peace. The

An On cIaI Count Required to Settle
the Matter.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 17.-There can be
no absolute certainty about the result
of the election IN Hamilton county
until an official count is made. The
vote in the two precincts Of the Nine
teenth ward, the couAting of which
was not finished last night, has now
been counted, and the result On gov
ernor, with one county precinct
missing, which in 1884 gave II repub-
lican majority, stands thus: Hoadly
SO, 667, Foraker SO, 1862, Leonard 1, 020;
Headly's plurality, 3O5. The returns
are far from complete on the legis]a>
tive ticket. The Times Star estimates
that the average vote on the republi-
can members OF the legislature ex-
cseds Foraker's vote by ], 015. Ii that
rate is maintained it would elect the
republican delegation except Robert
Harlan. Nothing can determine this
contingency except an official count.
Figures from the state, excluding
Hamilton county, indicate plurality
of from $4,000 to 10000 for Foraker.
FORAKER EXPLAINS.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 17-Judge Fer~
aker, the governor elect, on being
asked as to the leading motives that

First-The republicans regarded it important
that decisive expression should be given at the
first election after the beginning of the democrat

Second-A determination to give an expression
in favor of free ballot and fair count in all our
elections.
Third-Distrust concerning the free trade ten
denotes of the democratic party, coupled with the
recognition Of the necessity of maintaining re-
public asceudency iD the u S. senate.
| Fourth-Distrust with the democratic state ad-
ministration in Ohio, notably the election of
the last senator and the extravaganza of the last
| legislature.
Fifth-A wish to have the liquor traffic regulat-
ed and taxed as a practical method OF dealing
with the subject, and dissatisfaction with the

IT is generally supposed that the
North Arctic Zone is extending, and
proofs is assumed in the increase of
ice on the eastern shores of Greenland,
and in the fact that barley, which was
successfully grown in Iceland from
its first settlement in $40 down to the
middle of the fifteenth century, is no
longer cultivated there. The lee
landic government had, however,
lately attempted to grow barley on the
island on a considerable scale. and
the results were very favorable. Nor
wegian barley from Altenjord, the
extreme north of the barley-growing
zone, was planted and fit for cutting
III eighty days. The decline in bar
ley cultivation in Iceland is really
due to the fact that cattle breeding
pays better.

The quaint wit and wisdom and the
deliberately atrocious spelling of Josh
Billings will be missed to a greater
extent by popular readers than some
more pretentious utterances OF pro-
fessional writers for the press. The
irregular photography which he en-
ployed did not, however, add to the
humor of his productions; it was only
the clownish garb in which he saw
fit to clothe much that was true ard
of high value in morals and litera-
ture. Properly spelled and with
scholarly syntax, his maxims OF life
and society would possess the same or
greater wit and an equal or more re-
markable adaptedness to the situations
which ne MADE the subject of his satire
or philosophy.
