SPINGFIELD, His, May At was tele-
graphed from here, Friday, that recount
Of the votes cast for Mulhearn and Klupp,
candidates for the legislature from the
Thirteenth Chicago district, gave the seat
to the contestant Klupp. 1t has now been
found that the figures were erroneous The
fault lies with clelk, who made a mistake
in adding the vote from the precincts in the
Fourteenth ward. The error gave KlupI
1880 votes that he is not entitled to. As
corrected, Mulhearn has 4S3 votes over
Klupp. The result of the recount makes d

ANNEXATION OF CUBA.

The Island To Be Had for the Ba2atelie OF
500, 900, 900.
WASHINGTON Cry, May Am infiu-
entail element here favors the annexation
of Cuba. 1t is argued by The supporters of
this scheme that free sugar al ne, which
would be one of the re,ults of an
nexation. would be more than suffi-
Gent compensation for the price
TO be paid for the acquisition.
1t is further argued that the fertile soil Of
Cuba, if the island were brought under the
rule of tie United States and the influence
OF Republican institutions, would attract ad-
venturous and energetic settlers by the
thousands, who would make 1t teeming
mine of wealth. The people of Cuba have
been discussing the subject of annexation,
and public sentiment is favorably inclined
toward the idea The planters and NOR
chants ara said to be very dospoade mt be-
cause of the depressed condition of affairs.
A leading senator who belongs to the an
nexation party here, said that the
Cleveland administration would execute a
most brilliant stroke Of Iolicy if it coull
bring about annexation. Lsvel-headed
statesmen, however, think it impos ibls to
stir up public sentiment in this country
the point of favoring the acquisition
Cuba. 1t is believedithat Spain would read
lily entertain an offer TO sell the island to the
United States for Sl00, 900, 600 cash.

sustain the validity of the Edison patents for
the six companies charged with infringe ment
have put out in various parts of the country
q considerable number Of isolated plants for
incandescent electric lighting. Mr..
Edison claims the original discovery
of the principle Of subdivision
of the electric current by high resistance,
and he has twenty fundamental patents, the
| validity of which, if sustained, will APP
| parently leave the alleged infringing
companies nothing to operate with, except
| ing some small matters of mechanical detail,
which are said to be covered in advance by
Edison's subsidiary patents. The validity
of the Edison's patents has already been
sustained by the highest court Of Germany,
which country has more strict, and rigidly
protected patent system than any other.
William M. Evarts, senior advisory counsel
of the Edison company, thinks that the
| American courts will arrive at the same
| conclusions as the German court and his

Hanover Township have been contending
fiercely for the championship, which en-
titles the winner TO a gold medal offered
by Trenton firm Of pork-packers, the
winner to hold it for three years against
all competitors. Joseph Carter killed his
hogs on Saturday last, and twenty aver
aged S43 pounds, the heaviest weighing
1867 pounds. 1t was considered next to
impossible to exceed this average. But
TAYLOR Deyinney, who lives near Wright
town, yesterday achieved the honor OF
having raised the heaviest, l,025, l,035,
1919 pounds respectively, as they hung
on the shambles dressed, and with the
remaining sixteen the average OF the
twenty was $50 pounds. The lightest
hog in the lot weighed 739 pounds. These
weights are net, after deductlng the
