The Alliance Fails to Hold Its Own in
the State.


TOPEKA, Nov. 3.-Nine District judges
were voted for in Kansas and county
officers in eighteen counties. 1t will be
difficult even after the returns are in, un-
less the victory is sweeping, to tell
whether the Peoples party gained or lost.
During the day the rain fell all over the
State. The vote was very light every
where. The Sub-Alliance failed to vote
IN blocks, as last year, when they swept
the State.
Dispatches from various counties show
that the Alliance did not hold it's own.
Only forty-seven counties of 106 in the
State have been heard from. In only two
of them have the Alliance made clean
sweeps. In the country the Republicans
appear to have regained their foothold,
while in the cities the Alliance made
slight gains. In the judicial districts re-
turns indicate that the Alliance met a
wholesale defeat. The Republicans and
Democrats combined against the Alliance
candidates for Judges.

LONDON, Nov. 3.-In the Court of Ap-
peals to-day argument was resumed in
the appeal of the executors of the will of
Mr.. Maybrick. Sir Edward Clarke, the
Attorney-General, in behalf of defend
ants, resumed his argument this morn
ing, saying as the law did not permit the
wife or other representative of an in
sured person who committed suicide to
recover insurance money, the law could
not allow person to profit by his or her
own criminal act. Master of the Rolls,
Lord Esher, in summing up, said he
thought the true construction of the
policy was that the money should be paid
to the executors in trust. If that were
done and receipt obtained, respondents
were not bound to see the trust fulfilled.

clared the strike of molders against the

received from the International Union

the following explanation of the matter
in his pronunciamento:
"In view of the fact that during recent
conversations with the proprietors we
have learned that they will not reduce
the wages nor ostracize any of the men
or boys who have been engaged in the
strike, and will ask no questions as TO an
applicant for employment being a uniou
man or not; also that no objection would
be raised to unionizing the shops if we
could do so, we have decided to call
halt. This is done to prevent, by all
means in our power, any further suffer-
ing on the part of our men and boys, and
TO let the public see that we were always
anxious to end the warfare if given
reasonable assurances that we would not
be crowded to the wall"
