Geodwin for Delegate.

SANTA FL. N. NJ, Oct. 8.-[Special. +
Neager returns from yesterdays special
election for the adoption or rejection Of the
stats constitution show that the statehood
movement has been pretty effectually
done up. The best estimate gives some 200
majority against the constitution through
out the territory. On the whole, however.
and considering the influences at work and
the methods adopted by the opposition,
the vote il sufficient to make . very cheer
full showing for the cause OF progress. As
for the part taken in this defeat by good
many members of the Roman Catholic
clergy, they now say they took an entirely
non-political view of it. working against it
simply because they considered it best for
the people as whole that New Mexico
should not become state. They disclaim
any attempt 10 interfere in political matters
and say they took the part they did in this
matter for the reason that they deemed it
in no way political question.

ARE THE PLANETS HABIrABLE.

Astronomers Closely Studying Mars and
the Other Wandering Stars.
SAN Francisco, Oct 8.-The Examiner
has long article by Professor Holden, of
Lick observatory, in regard to the COM
ments of Flammarion, French astronomer.
Professor Holden says:
The astronomers of Lick observatory have
mapped the dark lines on Mars which are
called canals, and they have seen some Of them
double, but am by no means ready to say that
the canals are vertically filed with water, or
that they even probably are the work Of human
hands. If you ask what these dark markings
are, really am obliged to answer that do not
know. If this answer seems inadequate. 1 SUBJ
NIT that it IL . scientific answer. and the best
possible under the circumstances In common
with others, the astronomers of Lick observa-
tory ara doing their best to find out, and in
common with all astronomers recognize the
paramount crest to mankind of determining
whether the planets are or are not inhabited.
1t may be worth while to say here that was
the first observer of these canals in 1875, two
years before they were rediscovered and fully
studied by Professor Schiapparelli. In my
opinion it ID necessary to say that a. yet no one
has any light whatever ON this question. The
question Immediately before astronomy at pres
emit il, Are the planets habitable; that il. are
they 1T to be inhabited? This II . much
smaller inquiry than the other. and one Of
which there Is some hope Of solution. Even
this question, however, il not to be answered
with certainty.

the rest OF the state. for that county has
grown faster than the balance of the state.
He believes there il more reason to throw
on. the recount of that county than to give
up the June figures for the balance of the
state.
He says the sentiment which arose in
parts Of the state remote from Portland
had such an origin a. to entitle it to little
weight. and in support he quotes letter
from one officer Of the Portland Chamber
of Commerce TO the mayor Of Baker City,
in which the latter is directed to ask for :
recount, and promise given that the
Chamber Of Commerce Of Portland will
support such = move. The secretary hints
that this kind Of spontaneous outcry for q
recount is not strictly ingenious, and he
allows this 10 cut little figure.
The letter itDelf gives away the moving
spirit Of the kickers, as it says that the
june returns viii not entitle the state to

"'TIs A BLUFF" SAYS JOHN L.



New York World.
Richard X. Fox's offer to back John l..
Sullivan against Frank P. Slavin for $25,-
600. providing the big fellow would consent
to have Billy Madden train him, was dis
cussed extensively in sporting circles.
Sullivan himself, after reading the Fox
interview, laughed immoderately and
seemed to look upon the matter as Joke.
II must give Fox credit for being great
stringer," said John, bringing into play
this lately coined work, which to those
versed in the vernacular of the sporting
world means q great deal, "but he can't
string me. This offer is great big bluff,
and anybody who knows Fox can see
through his game without half trying.
He wants to back me for $25 200 against
Slayin, eh ?' John repeated. s.Well, never
have asked any favors of him yet and I
don't propose to now. can get backing
for SIS, 900 against Slavin or any other man
in twenty-four hours. now why should /
accept as my hacker this man, whose sole
ambition in life seems to be to find q man
he made this offer what would say as he
did that he was in London. The idea of
my having Billy Madden train me
or . fight! Why, I'd almost as
soon have Soap McAlpin.' But you
see Fox is looking for advertising.
and he keeps right on getting plenty OF 1t.
People say that he lost q pot of money on
Kilrain. / am willing to bet that he not
only didn't wager q dollar outside the
$4,000 stake, but that he 'hedged out
even that money in London. He lost very
little on McAuliffe, and it was good in
vestment for him for his name has been in
newspapers ever since the match was
made. What q gall he has now to submit
such q proposition to me. He confesses
that he is tired of backing such stuffs
as Ryan, Tug Wilson and Kilrain. Yes
terday would have said that nothing Fox
could do would surprise me, but must say
that this, his greatest exhibition of cheek,
has knocked me out, speaking metaphors
cally. / may fight again and / may not.
I never said that / had left the ring
forever. but If ever do take hand in the

satisfied with my new profession and II we
do as well right along - We have been

John dcReavy Afraid OF Defeat.

SHELTON, Oct. Especial. THE Demo-
cratic county convention was held in Shell
ton last Saturday. The nomination for
representative was finally given to A. II.
Anderson, manager of the Satsop Railroad
Company, on certain conditions. Hon.
John McReavy was rendered the billet, but
declined with thanks, and as he is the
strongest man and acknowled leader, it
looks as though he did not care to brave
another vote, feeling that the likelihood of
Republican success is too good to waste
money on in supporting paper and cam
paign purposes. The county ticket was
mainly made up of present incumbents
several of whom will prove hard to beat.
The Republicans generally are sanguine of
bringing this--the banner Democratic
county of past years-out of the cold, and
giving ii voice in the selection OF Re-
publican senator.

CIvILIZING THE RED MAN.
Eighth Annual Indian Conference-vievs
of Enthunfasta

u A0tnuo108tUs
LAKE MOHAWK, N. Y, Oct e-The
eighth annual Indian conference began
this morning. General w. e. Eittlesy, OF
Washington City, secretary Of the board
of Indian commissioners, gave q general
survey of the field. He referred especially
to the happy change in public sentiment in
the last few years, due largely to influences
emanating from the Mohawk race. He
said it was impossible to find an intelligent
person expressing doubt of the possibility
or practicability of civilizing the Indian.
The reform in public sentiment had reached
congress, and had resulted in legislation
by which the mode of civilization has been
wonderfully advanced.
Rev. l. w. Ireland. of Hampton, who
recently returned from an inspection of
the reservation, said that of ITO Indians
from Hampton only four had turned out
failures The percentage is not larger than
may be found in many Eastern schools for
white children.
Ex-President McCosh, of Trinity, read q
paper to demonstrate the capacity OF the
Indian for civilization. The red man. he
said, was not in q less favorable condition
for civilization than our own ancestors, the
Britons. as described by Cesar and Tacitus,
with their painted bodies, Druid rule,
human sacrifices. and SO forth. 1t was
Christianity that had wrought the change,
and would do the same for the Indians.

DUTY ON GOODS IN BOND.

Caiifornia Prison Directors Try to Save
$4,000 ON = Cargo Of Jute.
SAN Francisco, Oct. 8.-The first cargo
OF foreign products arriving at this port
after the enforcement of the Mckinley bill,
consisting of 5000 bales Of raw jute, was
unloaded yesterday from the ship Glen.
aivon, direct from Calcutta. India. The
Cargo was billed to San Quentin state
prison. Tho Mckinley bill abolishes the
duty on raw jute and increases the duty on
Juse bags and other Manufactured goods OF
similar nature. On the GIenalvon's cargo
the state of California will save about
10000 in duty fees.
Jute arriving here for two months past,
instead OF being sent to San Quentin and
having the duty paid there, was placed in
bond in this city to awaitthe result Of the
Mckinley bill. On October about $500
bales of raw jute, valued at SCI, 500, were
thus in bond. The duty on this quantity Of
raw material amounts to about 5000,
which the prison directors have aimed to
bond.
Yesterday . serious question arose be-
tween Collector Phelps and the prison
directors as to the construction of the law
on the subject. The Mckinley bill gives
parties having goods in bond the privilege
OF Withdrawing the same from the ware
house at any time before February at the
former rates of duty. The object Of
placing $500 bales OF jute in bond was to
save 5000 in duty fees. Now the collector
raises the point that if the jute is taken out
Of bond before February the duty must
be paid. As the jute is needed to keep the
mills running at San Quentin prison the
directors cannot leave the supply in bond
until February l. Director Sonntag said
last evening that he did not think the
government would sustain Collector
Phelps decision in this particular instance,
but would act more literally in the
