The Election.

The election last week in Tennessee
resulted very satisfactorily to Demo
Gratis. In East Tennessee the Demo-
Gratis elect a sheriff and tax assessor
in Greene county, sheriff in Claiborn
and Bradley, and trustee in Hawk
ins. In Sullivan the entire Democrat
ic ticket is elected. In Davidson
county, which went Republican in
1886, the entire Democratic ticket is
elected by from 800 $500 majority
The Democrats also carry Shelby
county by over 1900 majority, and ex
Congressman lack Taylor is defeated
by large majority for sheriff. The
indications are that the majorities will
foot up $4,000 or $4,000 in the State.

An old lady and her minister was
arguing about the total depravity of
the human family. She for the doc
trine Of total depravity, he against it,
and after exhausting every other ar
gument, the old lady with great earn
estness and a little anger exclaimed
"Now brother jist take away my de-
pravity and what of me is thar left"
Some times with some people to con-
tend with one is almost driven to the
conclusion that the old lady was
right.

Judging from the vote the Republi-

against the regular Democratic nomi-

Sheridan is Dead.

NONQUIT, Mass, August 5.-Gener-
al Sheridan died tonight at 1920.
His death was almost entirely unex-
pected for, although he has been lit
tie more uneasy for two days, his gen.
eral health was better to-day than at
any time since he was first taken Sc
riously i'll in Washington. Mrs. Sher-
idan is Frustrated with grief. She has
always been confident Of her hus-
bands recovery, and the result has
proved a terrible shock to her.
At no time has there been more
confidence in the generals recovery
than was felt by his family during the
past few days. Every symptom wal
favorable. The end came very sud
denly, without warning. No ar
rangements have yet been made To-
the funeral.

The Fisheries Commissioners Finish
Their Labors and Sign q Treaty.
The Next Step Is to Get 1t Approved
BY the Consenting Parties.
Said to be q Satisfactory Settlement OF
a Century's Disputes.
The Blair Educational Bill Passes the
Senate at Last.

WASHINGTON, February 15.-After daily
sessions for the last two weeks the fisher
les Commissioners at z o'clock tonight
completed their labors and signed the
treaty which is believed will result in q sat
isfactory settlement OF the disputes that
have existed for almost q century between
this government and Great Britain over
the North Atlantic fisheries. The treaty il
signed by all six of the Commissioners and
is said to have their full concurrence. 1t
will be sent to the President to morrow for
transmittal to the Senate. Before the
treaty can take effect it must have the rat
ification of the Queen of Great Britain, the
Dominion of Canada and the province OF
Newfoundland as we'll as the Senate OF the
United States. Although the treaty will
NOT BE MADE PUBLIC
at present, it can be stated that it relates
exclusively to disputes concerning the fish
cries OF the North Atlantic coast and does
not include any provisions concerning the
Behring's Sea trouble or commercial re-
ciprocity. The treaty does not contem-
plate the admission of fish into the United
States free of duty. Secretary Bayard said
tonight that he could not because of his
official position, make known the contents
of the treaty, but that it was his earnest
wish that it should be
GIVEN TO THE PRESS
by those having the right to make such dis
position OF it, and that every line of it
should be published. The dispute, he said,
had been one of long standing and had come
to him by inheritance. When he assumed
the duties OF Secretary OF State he had
used his best endeavors to reach satisfac.
tory agreement with the Government of
Great Britain and believed that he had
succeeded, SO far as it lay in his power, to |
effect q settlement.
