Discoveries Often Made by the Captain
of Ocean Steamers-Caneht.

Discoveries Often Made by the Captains
of Ocean Steamers-Caught.
Hardly an ocean steamer, bound for Amer
ica leaves port in Great Britain but has
four or five unfortunate creatures slowed
away somewhere. It is within the expert
ence of captains to make the discovery that
they have twenty, or even more, of these I'M
desirable passengers aboard and that they
have as many more mouths to feed. This
makes some shippers savage, as when they
sail they have stores only proportionate to
their crew, with due provisions for delays
from stress of weather, will of God, etc.
The stowaways are recruited from all sorts
and conditions of men, but as general rule
they are mostly incapab es and the scum of
the streets Of London and other great cities.
1t can be truthfully said OF them as class,
that their leaving is usually for their
country's good. They hang around the docks
until an opportune moment arrives for ship
ping aboard. Usually they select ships which
are taking in a cargo of pipes or some other
material in which they can make comfort
able hiding place As a general rule they are
assisted By the bumpers" or ship laborerS,
with whom they are leagued and who, while
loading a ship with brick, can easily build
up square room in dark corner in which
stowaways can be accommodated with com
parative comfort.
When the cargo consists OF pipes the stow
always creep inside them and wait patiently
| until they think the pilot has gone off and
the vessel is well away from land This plan
has its Inconvenience, as directly ship
leaves port the officers start upon tour Of
investigation and often throw ''awakeners'
into the pipes. When they hear an appre-
ciative howl they make the stowaway crawl
out The majority of the men, however,
either escape the missiles or bear the slings
and arrows of outrageous fortune with Spar
tan fortitude, because it often happens that
after the officers are satisfied that there is
no one there, in good time the stowaways
come from below and begin to inhale the
ozone in safety.
When ship is too far out from land tt
send boat ashore the captain is reduced u
the necessity of taking all the work he cal
get out OF the stowaways, and he generally
does this pretty eifectuaiiy if there is only
moderate consignment of them. But it il
bard for any captain to find work for twenty
extra men When overwhelmed by such
number the snartest are put to work as decl
hands, the rest ere treated rs Storage pas
sengers and handed over to the police on ar

TALK OF TROUBLE FOR CARLISLE.
Claims That Irregular Ballots Put Bis
Election In Doubt,

Election In Doubt.
CONVICTION, 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 Kentou
counties were printed in long slips separated
by perforations that they might be easily
torn apart. They were torn careless
" apart, leaving the ballots of ir-
regular shape and containing the perfora-
tons. Carlisle's majority is placed at about
5000 Should the election boards of Camp
bell and Kenton counties decide to throw out
the entire vote for Carlisle his majority
would be reduced to nothing or therea-
bouts
The Campbell county board is Republican,
and pressure will be brought to bear upon
it to throw the votes out, and according to
the election law regulating the printing and
casting of ballots they can not, it is de-
clared, do anything else. Should any num-
Der of the ballots of kenton county be
thrown out for a similar reason-that is, be-
ing irregular or perforated-then Carlisle
would be in a minority and Hamilton's cleo
ton assured.
1t is claimed by leading Republicans and
Democrats in Cincinnati and also in Covug-
ton, that the tickets are not marked, in
the meaning of the law,

OTTAWA, Ont, Nov. Sir John Melon
aid has been interviewed on the subject of the

have no reason to believe that the Republics
are hostile to Canada. They favor a protect
i've tariff not unlike our own. There is no great
urgency in settling the fisheries question. The
fishing season is over for this year, and operations
will not be resumed until next year. The treaty
negotiated last year is dead. 1t was rejected by
the United States senate, not by the Canadians.
At any rate all the negotiations will have to be
commenced anew, but can't forget that the
Washington treaty of 1872 was negotiated by a
Republican president, with Republican major
ity in the senate. Is it not therefore, reasonable
to suppose that the Republicans will manifest in
1889 the same spirit which actuated them in 1917
