SURPRISE IN ENGLAND.
Harrison's Election Is Still
 Doubted There.
THE LETTERS REFUSE TOPAY UP

They Want Official Returns First-Sensa-
 tional Accounts of Bribery and Cor
 ruption-The Scotsman's Comments,
 Salisbury Receives Vests Explanation. LONDON, Nov. 9-While there was little interest expressed or felt by the English gen orally ill the American election, there cer- tainly is considerable surprise exhibited over the result.
 Cleveland's chances of reelection were universally thought to be so good that the practically Unknown Harrison was not looked upon even a possible winner. Thousands yet refuse to concede Harrison's election, and are waiting for the official re- turns for a confirmation of the report. The settlement of election bets is also postponed until the returns arrive placing the Republi- can victory beyond doubt. There is uni versal uplifting of hands at the supposed prodigious and sickening bribery, the belief ill which is founded upon sensational dis patches. The Edinburgh Scotsman says of the election: "There must have been a sort of carnival of corruption and interruptions ness in which honesty had sore trials" The same paper also says of MT. Blaine that evi- dently he was willing to go through dirt to dignity" The English papers generally look upon the attempt to reform the tariff in the United States as hopeless task and consider the theory of protection too firmly rooted in the American mind to be dislodged during the progress of single campaign
 Lord Salisbury received by mail dispatches from Lord Sackville further explaining and defending the latters position.

Lines to My Bed.

am not tickle, good old bed of mine;
 am not changeful in my honest love; Absent from thee, for thy embrace pine,
 Warmer thy bosom than the breeding dove. My heart Is never cold, old bed, to thee, AS oft thy snowy sheets have been to me. What though finger when the night is new, And loiter when the starry hours wane, And midnight pauses ere come to you,
 Throbs thy white breast with any counterpane3 Too oft am 8 truant from the nest Which oft my weary head with joy had pressed. But, when the rosy fingered hours of dawn
 Touch with prismatac colors all the sky Oh, how love theei When the night is gone How sweet upon thy restful heart to lie, And nap and doze and snooze till, peal on peal, Rings the third bell for mornings cheery meal. An, then, how can leave thee, gracious bed? Health, peace and quiet rest I find in thee; Wrath and defiance hurl at the head
 That would pronounce divorce 'twixt thee and
 me;
 My love for thee cold as the stars at night, Burns like the August at mornings light.

United lreland'S Opinions.

DUBLIN, Nov. 9.-Mr. William O'Briens United Ireland expresses indifference at the result of the American election, as it says 1t "has friends in both camps" The paper is inclined to think that Harrison owes his cleo tion to the Sackville affair, as the Irish voters suspected President Cleveland of being friendly with Lord Salisbury. It says: "While it is fattering to the Irish to be able to turn the scale ill such contests, the fact is regretable that it is so humiliating and men, acing to America. The Irish vote exists as a separate and menacing factor in American politics, because the fact that Ireland is without home rule rankles as a spearhead in the relations between the English speaking races. 1t would be cheap for America to establish home rule in Ireland, even at the cost of @ war with Great Britain. We will not comment on the value to England of a settlement of the Irish question:"

MT. Billings, of Louisville

MT. Billings, of Louisville. There are times in one life which one cannot
 forget,
 And the time remember s the evening met A naughty young scion of blue grass renown Who made my acquaintance while painting the
 town;
 hand shake a cocktail, smoker, and then Mir. Billings, of Louisville, touched me for ten There flowed in his veins the blue blood of the
 south,
 And cynical smile curled his sensuous mouth; He quoted from Lanier and Pope by the yard, But his purse had been hit by the war, and hit
 hard;
 felt that he honored and hattered me when Mir. Billings, of Louisville, touched me for ten. wonder that never again since that night vision of Billings has hallowed my sight; pine for the sound of his voice and the thrill That comes with the touch of a ten dollar bill; wonder and pine, for, I say it again. Mir. Billings, of Louisville, touched me for ten. I've heard what old Whittier sung of Miss Maud, But all such philosophy's nothing but fraud; To one who's & bear in Chicago today, With wheat going up and the devil to pay, These words are the saddest of tongue or of pen; "Mr. Billings, of Louisville, touched me for ten."

IRREGULAR BALLOTS.
Possibility of MT. Car1isle's Vote Being
 Thrown Out.

Thrown Out.
 CONVECTION, Ky, Nov. 9.-There Is talk of throwing out the Carlisle ballots in Campbell county and some of those in kenton county on account of an alleged illegality in the bal lots Instead of being plain ballots with no distinguishing mark, as the law directs, the Carlisle ballots in Campbell and Kenton counties were printed in long slips separated by perforations that they might be easily torn apart. They were torn careleSsly apart, leaving the ballots of irregular shape and containing the perforation. Carlisle's ma jority is placed at about 5000. Should the election boards of Campbell and Kenton counties decide to throw out the entire vote for Carlisle his majority would be reduced to nothing or whereabouts. The Campbell county board is Republican, and a pressure will be brought to bear upon it to throw the votes, and according to the election law regu- lating the printing and casting of ballots they cannot, it is said, do anything less. Should any number of the ballots of Kenton county be thrown out for similar reason-that is, being irregular or perforated, then Carlisle would be in minority and Hamiiton's cleo tion assured It is said that MT. Carlisle has consulted legal advice

THE MoRMoNs IN CANADA.
Asking the Government for & Town Site.
 Rapidly Gaining Strength.

OTTAWA, Nov. 9.-The Utah Mormons who settled in the Canadian northwest two years ago are beginning to show their strength A large deputation from Lees creek arrived here to interview the minister of the interior Hitherto they have been homesteading, but now they want to secure town site. One of the elders, a son of the late prophet, Smith, says the work of proselytizing will be under taken in this country and in Europe Asked if they proposed to practice polygamy, they replied evasively to the effect that they would not break the laws of the country. It is diff cult to say what action the government will pursue with regard to the Mormons, now that they have obtained a foothold on British soil It is feared here that emigration of Mormons from Utah to the Canadian north west will soon assume vast proportions.
