THE ELECTIONS.

THE election returns from the
several states indicate that this has
been decidedly an "off year. for the
Republican party. The change in
the political complexion Of the next
Congress has been surprise, even
to the Democrats themselves. The
present house stands 176 Republi-
cans to 154 Democrats, while the
next house will probably be 1O9
Republicans, PIG Democrats and I
Alliance men. This may be. chang
ed somewhat as in many of the close
Congressional districts the returns
are not all in. Mckinley, the faith
er of the tariff law now in force, was
beaten by less than 300 in district
that usually gives $500 Democratic
majority. There seems to have
been general apathy among the
Republicans all over the country,
while the Democrats worked every
scheme possible and many of them
seem to have succeeded fairly well.
In this state, Buchanan, Democrat,
is elected by 10000. In the first
Congressional district A. A. Taylor
has about 500 majority over Butler.
Houk in the second has nearly 5000
majority over Williams, Democrat.
In the third district Snodgrass,
Democrat beat II. Clay Evans, the
present incumbent by 500 majority.
Kelley, Prohibition candidate for
Governor, will have about ten thous-
and votes. In the western states
the Farmers Alliance has come to
the front for the first time and shows
up Z members Of Congress, Kansas
sending 5 and Nebraska 2. In Ne
braska the prohibitory amendment
is buried under forty thousand ma
jority for the present license law
1t is a little consolation to the Re
publican party to know that theil
majority of fourteen in the Senate
will not be wiped out and that thu
work of the past year will not b.
hastily undone by the new Demo
cratic house.

A MEETING Of Ohio capitalists met
in Cleveland on October IA, for the
purpose Of organizing a company for
the manufacture of tin plates. Mr..
J. L. Morris, who has been connect
ed with former attempts to start this
industry in the United States, gave
a description of the first trial at the
business. The Leader and Herald
reported him as follows:
CAT the time commenced the

"there was no tariff upon tin plate,

the county by S15, yet in 1886 Heis-
kell got 2,789 votes, or POP votes
more than Williams; while in 1888
Heiskell received 3,779 votes, or
1892 votes more than Williams.
Suppose we compare Williams
vote with that of Ledgerwood, the
Democratic nominee for Congress in
1884. In that year Ledgerwood
received 1888 votes, or 946 more
votes than Williams received, yet
Houk carried Knox county over
Ledgerwood by 1882 votes.
The figures therefore, show thai
as between Ledgerwood, Heiskel1

hope and work were abandoned at the
Hill Farm mine, and the dust or ashes
of the thirty imprisoned men may rest
beneath the Dunbar hill till the last day
shall come. The last exploring party
entered the mine mt 9 o'clock p. IN. They
did not come out until 2 o'clock. Three
of their number had entered to within a
few hundred feet of the subterranean
fire and had found the dinner buckets
and blouses of two of the men. The ex-
plorers suffered from the intense heat
and black damp and scarcely escaped
with their lives. 1t was a trip to the

that could be found on this earth. The
explorers visited nine places where the
men We're known to have been at work,
Their picks and shovels were found ly-
ing where they had been dropped. One
mule was found dead and purified,
otherwise no trace of the men could be
found. The explorers then voted to
abandon the work of recovery.
Superintendent Hill, after this, told
the men the company would on Thurs
day pay them the wages due and adj
Tised them to 60 to work wherever they
could secure it. With this the greatest
rescuing attempt in Western Pennsyl-
vania was ended. The company will, it
is said, now attempt to save as much of
the mine property as they can. The
mine is sadly wrecked and its restora-
ton will be a gigantic task.

ator Turpic delivered the GRAFTON of the
day, which was received with great
ap' ause. The orator gave lengthy
ske,ch of the deceased statesman. He
referred to the first appearance of the
deceased vice president in public life as

CONCERNING IRRIGATION.
The Agents Conducting the In.
vcstigation Make an Inter.
csting Report.
Forty Thousand Dollars Recon.
mended for Expenditure id
the Dakotas.
Some Statistics Regarding the Extent
of the Basins, Pressure of
Wells, Etc.

WASHINGTON, July 2.-The report
based on the investigation made for IT.
rigation i'll tho Dakotas will o o be
made. 1t will recommend an appro-
priation of $2250,000 for the artesian in
vestigation and experimental work, and
the allotment for the Dakotas Of $40, 900.
The report will further show that in
number of wells, the pressure per square
irrigation, the number of acres served.
The area in the Dakotas examined by
the agents embraces about 147, 700
miles.
They found about 1900 deep-bore ar
tesian wells, 1000 of which are giving
undiminishcd supply. There are in
North Dakota 6 and South Dakota 1876.
The Dakota Basin
is the most remarkable in extent, VOL
ume and per1nanency of flow. Col. Net
Teton says:
Our investigation has shown the ex-
istenee of a very large basin in the Da-
kotas, which has been tapped by wells
length by 40 to so in width. The water
bearing strata is very thick, and there is
the appearance of unlimited supply.
The average flow in wells in Dakota is
two cubic feet per second. If this water
coulu be stored, and allowing one-half
for waste, it would over 900 acress 8
inches deep per a1llum.
Special Agent Hinton continues the
argument, and suggests that the great
artesian basin be called the James river
| district or the artesian area. A general
description of the wells in the Dakotas
are given, the Dakota sandstone de-
| scribed, and an estimate made that 90
600 square miles
Might BE Tapped Anywhere
with absolute certainty of obtaining
water.
Professor Culver, field geologist in
charge of the Dakotas, estimates tho
great Dakota basin" contains 1000, 600
acres. He recommends the boring of
wells in South Dakota east of the Mis-
souri,, and also in the newly opened
Sioux reservation.
Field Agent Underllill makes IL report
upon the wells in North Dakota, which
Professor Culver says he believes are
fully equal to the wells in Nebraska and
Kansas. Stephen p. Updyke, of the
Vermillion university, also makes a very
favorable report, a part of which is in.
Guided i'll the preliminary report. Sc
also is the report Of Engineer Coffin, Of
South Dakota.
In conclusion the agricultural depart.
ment urges that the evidence emphasizes
the need of the artesian investigation
and continuance of the experimental
work thus begun. This report will be
presented to the irrigation committee
and submitted by this committee to tho

ton calling on him to report the II
for withholding patents for lands within
the granted limits of the Union Pacific
Railroad company which are free from
all claims and We're not reserved at the
definite location of the road. The sec
rotary states that the patents were sus-
pended because of the Indebtedness of

that he is of the opinion, however, that
the Indebtedness is not a just cause for
withholding the patens and that he has
decided to order the patents to be issued
as fast as practicable. The lands re-
ferred to comprise about 10, 900, 900
acres mainly in Nebraska and Utah.
