Progress of the Official Canvass OF
MinneSOta'S Vote.

y
Minnesota's Vote.
The official canvass of the votes cast
by Minnesotians at the November cleo
ton was begun yesterday at the state
capitol. Seated at long table behind
the railing of the secretary of states
office was the board of official canvas,
sers. The clock pointed to 1910 when
cough from Judge Vanderburgh
warned the half-d0zen clerks of the
commencement of hostiiities. Hans
Mattson, secretary of state. took posi-
ton at the head of the table, and ranged
on either side of him were Judges Dick
inson and Vanderburgh, OF the su-
preme court, and Judges Young and
Wilkin, of the district court. The
official returns from each county were
enclosed in huge official envelopes, and
as they were opened and the results
read they were transcribed on large
tablets of ruled paper, upon which
were the counties and candi-
dates for each state office, from
the presidential electors downward.
The presidential count was taken up
first, and Democratic, Republican, Pro-
hibition and Labor votes were recorded
by the clerk as the official canyasserS
read them. The noon adjournment
showed that the call in counties for
presidential electors was proceeding
Slowly. The vote on electors for the
Labor ticket occasioned some delay. In
almost every county there was differ
ence in the spelling of Christian names,
or i'm the initial letter of the surname.
The call on Chisago county was taken
I'D after the adjournment, when the
board reassembled at 80, and proceed
,ing slowly, but with difficulty the call
feF electors was completed at O'Clock.
The sheet, which was plentifuly dotted
with figures, was then taken into an
other room, to be footed up, and the re-
suit had not been officially announced
when the board adjourned. The state
ticket was then taken up, aud the call
of counties rs far as Lyons was CON-
pieted at 5 o'clock, when an adjournment
was taken until 10 O'Clock this morning.

Strange Missive.


lam dead. will die tonight at the Hub

Such was the note-written on the
back of printed wine list, badly spelled
and unsigned-that caused ripple of
excitement in police circles last night.
This strange missive was delivered at
the Office of the chief of police by the
proprietress of house ON Jackson
street, to whom it was addressed. The
woman was startled on finding the note
in her private apartments, and 1t was
written by Willie Whitney. boy seven
teen years of age, who had for some time
been employed about the place as porter.
Her fears were dispelled, however, for
soon after the matter was reported
to the police, the boy reappeared at the
house badly intoxicated and highly
elated over the ''joke" he had perpe-
trated. He later explained his conduct
somewhat by admitting strange infat-
uation for woman who was former
inmate of the place and who would
hive nothing to- do with HIM, and ac-

ton, however, and at last accounts was

The Crown Prince Taken From Ma
talie, Of Servia, by Force.
Queen Natalie, the divorced wife of the
King of Servia, was notified Thursday
night by the Berlin police that she must place
her son in the hands of those ordered by the
King to bring him to Belgrade. The Queen
refused, and declared that she would never
part from her boy. She was then ordered to
leave Germany.
When the Queen received notice from the
police that she must part from her son she
telegraphed to King Milan imploring him to
allow the boy to remain with her another
month. The King, however, was incensed
at the abrupt manner with which the Queen
had refused his conciliatory proposal for
mediation, and telegraphel back to the
Crown Princes tutor that the boy must not
remain with the Queen day longer.
In obedience to the Kings behest an officer
and twenty policemen entered the villa at
Berlin occupi, ID by Queen Natalie ut ten
o'clock Friday morning and soon reappeared
with the young Crown Prince and lady OF
honor.
Both were bundled into q closed carriage
and handed over to King Mian's plenipotent
iaries at the railroad station, where a train
was waiting. The party at once boarded the
train and started for Belgrade. The Queen
had planned to flea with the boy, and with
this intention had ordered a special train.
She failed to state her destination and the
authorities refused to give her the train.

Cost and Provisions OF the new BllI

The bill providing for the eleventh census,
as it passed the House, differs somewhat from
the measure which was reported from Mr..
Coxs committee, and also from the census
bill of 1879. The publications of the tenth
census numbered twenty-five volumes; the
eleventh census will include only such pub
icatons as shall rela te to population ana so- -
cial statistics relating thereto, the products
of manufacturing mining and agriculture,
mortality and vital statistics, valuation and
public Indebtedness.
The bill placed the maximum cost of the
census at ST, ,0G0, exclusive OF printing,

population. Mr.. Cox estimates this increase
at about 100000. The census bureau will
include, by the provisions of this bill,

a chief clerk at $500, two stenographers,
ten chiefs of division, and a d;sburs--
