Arguing from Fossils "a Show that the
Oxus Never Joined the Caspian.
Between the Aral and the Caspian seas is a
deep. dry. narrow depression which has long
been supposed to have been once the bed Of a
river. There have been many speculstlons rs
to the origin and history OF this str ram, and
the view has been held for years that the
famous OXus River which now flows into tho
Aral Sea. In a former era found its way to tho
Caspian. and tina. this dry channel known a.
tho Usboi or Old Channel OF the Oxus. marks
the course the river followed In its way across
the desert. hundreds Of miles further west
than its present mouth in the AraI Sea.

Official Election Returns.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2-The canvass
of the official returns of the vote for
Harrison and Cleveland have been COM
pleted in San Francisco and the result
shows that the largest vote cast for
Republican presidential elector was a.
416 as against 81 ,012 for the highest Dem
ocratic elector. The Democratic elector
receiving the smallest number of votes
has a plurality over the highest Repub>
lican elector of 6,504. The average vote
for electors in San Francisco county
shows a plurality for the Democratic
ticket of 4,693. The average plurality
for the Republican electors outside of
San Francisco is 64,442, giving the Dem
ocrats plurality in the entire State of
271. The margin is SO narrow and the
vote for Individual electors varies SO con-
siderably in the incomplete returns that
it seems almost sure that when the cam
yass of the vote is made by the Secretary
of State the electoral vote will be found
to be divided.
