WHAT MR. HUME SAYS.
Defeated but Not Observation-Disclosures
bought by His Opponent, He Says.

Defeated but Not Votes
Bought by His Opponent, He Says.
Mr.. Frank Hume did not look much like a
defeated candidate when a STAR reporter
cropped In on him this morning. Tho droop-
ing, detected look of the unsuccessful man was
entirely wanting.
"Oh, yes;. I understand there has been an
election lately" remarked the late Virginia
candidate. ~ have been defeated, it seems,
but don't feel very bad about it. The election
In the eighth Virginia district was simply o
struggle between two democrats and Gen. Lee
Will get the seat have always been and will
continue to be q democrat, and the fact
that the returns show majorities for me in the
democratic districts proves that the democrats
of Virginia recognize that fact. nm
especially proud of the unparalleled
vote which was given me in Alexandria city
ana county. My fight was not against tho DEM
ocratic party, but for the democratic party
against certain ring which has gained con-
troll OF that party. So far as tire democratic
vote In the district is concerned it will be seen
tnat Dig majority have voted for me. The re-
publican strongholds have been carried for
Gen. Lee, and by this means he is elected.
INSTANCES OF FRAUD ALLEGED.
what about the fairness of tho election?
Wen, don't want to say too much about that.
Ever since the election have been in receipt
OF hundreds and hundreds of letters relating to
some instances Of fraud on Tuesday. l have
been informed in the most positive manner
that q very large sum Of money was spent on
tuesday by Lees managers. When the polling
commenced am satisfied that the district was
1or me by 1000 majority; but when the
polls closed the situation had changed.
In the district voters were bought openly by
the Lee men and the prices quoted. Among
the colored voters in certain sections the reign
ing price was IS per vote. Where did the Lee
money come from? Well, $1,000 was con-
tributed on election morning by Washington
banker and $4,000 came from an Alexandria
merchant. No, l have no present intention Of
contesting the election. As say, am demo-
crat, and 1t was simply a struggle between two
dem ocrats.
'One point have noticed in the returns is
that in every section which the late census shows
70 be progressive center gives majority for
me.
GOOD DEAL OF LANDSLIDE.
Oh, yes, the general election was a good deal
OF landslide. l attribute the democratic
gains all over the country to the Mckinley bill
Since the bill went into effect the people Of the
country have had practical illustration Of its
workings in their daily buying Of supplies. The
country has been touched in its pocket and has
resented it. l am far from being free trader,
but the Mckinley bill is wrong.

Home of the District of Columbia, today SUBJ
mitted to the Secretary Of War the annual re-

$500 greater than ali expenses OF the dairy;
while the garden accOunt which includes the

MIR. KENNY OF NEW YORK.
Mr. Porter Declines to Consider Him
as the Municipal Government.

as tuc NuulClpdl OONeru"eut.
Mr.. Kenney, who has been representing New
York city in the matter OF the recount Of the
population Of that city, an application for
which was yesterday denied by Secretary
Noble, has returned TO this city. Today Mr..
Kenney went to the census office, where he
called OF Superintendent Porter. He pre-
sented to him the letter, referred to elsewhere,
signed by W. Mem. Speer. the secretary of the
mayor. This letter was simply a request made
in accordance with section % Of the census
law. which is as follows:
THAT upon the request Of any municipal
government, meaning thereby the incorporated
government of any town, village, township or
city, or kindred municipality the superintend-
ent of census shall furnish such government
with copy of the names, with age, sex. birth
place and color or race. of all persons enumer-
ated within the territory in the jurisdiction of
such municipality, and such copies shall be paid
for BY such municipal government at the
sums SO received by the superintendent of
census shall be accounted for in such way as
the Secretary of the Interior shall direct, and
covered into the Treasury OF the United States
to be placed TO the credit of, and in addition
to, the appropriation herein made for taking
the eleventh census"
Superintendent Porter very kindly pointed
out to tic young man that he could not comply
with this request. as the secretary of the mayor
was not the municipal government" In the
sense OF that term as employed in the
law Mr.. Kenney endeavored to extract
from the superintendent some infor-
nation rs TO whether he would
be likely to comply with this request il it came
from the proper authority. Mr.. Porter, how
ever, declined to commit himself and Mr.
Kenney finally withdrew, stating that he would
telegraph to New York for INSTRUCTIONS
1t is not certain whether the information will
be furnished even If Mayor Grant should write
for it. The use which the facts there obtained
will be put to will in all probability be to fur
nish a comparison between the national census
and the police censue.

INTEREST IN BIRCHALL.
Hope Expressed in England That He
May Escape the GalloWs.

LONDON, Nov. IA letter received by a
friend OF the Birchall family, in Berkshire,
from government official at Ottawa, Canada
speaks gloomily of the prospects for a reprievo
OF Birchall, while stating that the minister Of
justice will undoubtedly give the case the
fullest and fairest consideration. Much SYM
pathy is expressed Cor Mrs. B;rchall and the
case is watched with intense interest in Church
of England clerical circles owing to the re-
spectacle position which members OF the
Bircball family have occupied and occupy
in the church. At Oxford University there is
strong feeling that Dirchall ought to be given
the benefit of any possible doubt in his favor.
and both the faculty and the students generally
hope that for the honor of the university he
will escape the extreme penalty Of the law.

Republican officials who have been away to
the elections are returning to Washington, and
among the late arrivals is United States Treas
urer Huston. Mr.. Huston was seen this morn

that what caused the landslide was q lack Of
republican and a redundancy Of democratic
votes. Different causes in different states. in
his opinion, combined to produce the result
In Indiana, he said, the republicans
were we'll organized, but 80. were the
democrats, and there was 9 third party

with the votes of former years. All deductions

Republicans The Farmers Alliance was also
a disturbing element in Indiana and else where.
