Luis Obispo give no vote for electors
and congressman. The Modoc county
returns give the Harrison electors one
vote, and several counties heard from
say nothing at all as to the vote on con-
stitutional amendments and PROPOSE
tions.
John Thomas. who was appointed by
the board OF supervisors of Inyo county
to be Inspector Of elections for Cerro
Gordo precinct, has made an affidavit to
the governor that the election in that
precinct was prevented by the loss or
destruction of the ballots. John M.
Yandell, candidate for county clerk, re-
corder and auditor, made application for
an order for new election in said pre-
cinct, and the governor today issued a
proclamation giving notice that an cleo
tion will be held in Cerro Gordo pre-
cinct, Inyo county, on the 18th day Of

A Satisfactory Test of the New System
at Tacoma.
TACOMA, WASH, Nov. 2S.-L. F.
Cooks systenp of electric double-track
elevated railroad was given trial to-
day that proved satisfactory, although
it was made under unfavorable condi-
tions. The car easily climbed grades Of
s and 10 per cent, and took curves of q
70-foot radius. One car, containing 10
men, was used. 1t is claimed that the
system can attain speed OF 200 miles
per hour. The system consists of top
and side stringers attached to 12.foot
posts. The cars run in opposite direc.
tions on the sides of these stringers.
The upper stringer supports the power
and affords track for small wheel,
which keeps the car on the track.
Through the larger wheels, which rest
partly on and partly against the tracks
on the main or side stringers, the motive
power is applied from the motor. which
takes it from the upper stringer.

Gold movement from New York.

LONDON, Nov. 2S.-Gold movements
from New York engage the attention Of
financial circles in London, Paris and

conversion of currency now in progress
in that country. Since November 1lth
