AN ERROR IN THE ILLINOIS RETURNS.
CHICAGO, ILL, Nov. l0.-An error
has been discovered in footing up the
returns of the Second senatorial district,
and now it appears that Kinney, Demo-
cratic candidate for representative, was
elected instead of Hopper, Republican /,
as reported. Owing TO the fact that the
two parties have been thought to tie in
in the legislature, this discovery is of
considerable importance. If the official
count yeriiies the election of Kinney,
the Democrats will have lOl votes in the
assembly and the Republicans but 100,
thus making the election of John NJ
Palmer to the United States senate the
next thing TO a certainty.

SAN ANTONIO. Ten. Nov. I0.-James
Carothers, who has for the past year
been largely engaged in the importation
of American hogs 10 Mexico, returned
to this city to-day from the Mexican
capital. Mr.. Carothers has been COM
PEELED to abandon his thriving business in
Mexico because of the excessive import
duties levied by that government on HIS
shipment of hogs. The business, he de-
cIares, has been killed by this new move
ment of the Mexicans, which he says is
more in the nature of retaliation than
an act of self preservation. He
expresses the firm conviction from
an intimate acquaintance with Mexico
and its authorities that Mckinley has
killed all chances. at least for the pres
ent, for any close or extensive reciprocal
commercial relations between the United
Suites and Mexico.

proceeded, and, when everything looked dark
est, suddenly there was a smashing of glass
that rose above the din. and inch plankS came
shooting into the coach windows on one side
and went out at the other, just like they had
been fired from huge cannon.
What few passengers were in the passenger
coach crouched down close to the floor. and the
lumber went flying over their heads. The storm
OF planks and wood was so heavy it crashed
every psne OF glass in the second coach, and
the wind jammed it in pile on the track be-
tween the trucks, stopping the train. There the
cars stood until the storm abated when the
crew got out and cleared the roadway.

An eminent scientist has evolved the
theory that water as an element to extin-
guish fires in large and high buildings is a
failure. He claims that when combustion
evolves a certain intense degree of heat
the water thrown upon the flames emits a
powerful volume of hydrogen which burns
with frightful fury. This scientist sets up
the theory that these fires must be treated
in different manner, and expresses the
belief that gas viii be the successful
weapon with which to fight fire at some
future day. Gas has been quite extern
sively experimental with, and it has been
effective in close rooms, but in the open
air the gas evaporates and soon loses its
strength

asleep. He was soon aroused, however, by
something at his throat. He fitted it off
with his hand, and sprang from his bed.
Striking light, he discovered mink.
The bloodthirsty little animal had gashed
his throat with his sharp teeth and the
blood was trickling down. Mr.. Carwiles

mittee on Territories this morning listened to
the arguments against and in support of the
Constitution prepared for the proposed new
State of Idaho
DR.. J. II. Wilson, of this city, speaking for the
Mormons, argued against the acceptance of tn :
proposed Constitution, which DISTINGUISHED
Mormons, and asserted that without Mormon
residents, who will thus be cut off from citizen
ship, the population of the territory is not large
enough to warrant making a State of it. AS TO
the legal effect of the proposition, Mr. Wilson
argued that every good purpose would be served
by DISTINGUISHING the MJrmons after they were
convicted of crime, instead of DISTINGUISHING
them in advance.
Delegate Dubois, of Idaho, replied to Mr..
Wilson in long statement, rec.ting the history
of the Mormon Church and quoting from the
judicial decisions in Idaho to sustain his asser-
ton that it was a criminal conspiracy. He said
that it was necessary to disfranchise Mcrmons
in body in order to destroy their political
power which keeps them together. Conviction
