BUTTE, Nov. 1~2.-LSpecial. Complete
unofficial returns from all precincts in Sill
yer Bow county give Harrison 3, 243, Cleve-
lane 1857, Weaver 2,477. Dixon for con-
gress carries the county by a plurality of
IA. The vote is: Dixon ., T65, Hartman
2.751, Edwards 2.37l. 1t will require the
official count to determine whether two or
three democrats are chosen from this
county. On several candidates the vote is
almost a tie. The present indications are
that unsuccessful candidates for the lower
house are Annear, SWEET, Graves. Laurence
and Monteith, republicans; Wilson, kilgsl-
Ion and Fitschen. democrats, and Bray and
Mathews, populists. The official returns
now show that Howard. populist, or Stew
enson, republican, has been chosen in place
of Fitschen. democrat. McDer,nott, dem
ocrat, is chosen TO the senate by a plurality
of less than 80.

SAN FRANCISCO, Noy. 12.-Tho final COM
putation of the returns from California on
the election have been made. The official
count next week will determine the result
definitely. The last returns from all except
2S3 precincts of this city and state at large

This will probably not be changed mater

in the congressional contest of tho Third

chances there are favorable to Hilburn, re-
publican. The other six districts will re-
torn three democrats two republicans and
one fusionist democrats and peoples

cate that the democrats will have sixty

COLUMBUS. o., Nov. 12.-The republican
state committee had received official re-
turns from Hamilton county at midnight,
which was the last to be heard from. 1T

Official returns from twenty-one counties

that he ran ahead nearly five hundred

voting, and the same facts are true of Dan
ford, who heads the republican electors.
The net republican gain in twenty-one

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-lt was said at the
White house to-day that the president had
decided to pursue a strictly conservative
course in all matters relating to appoint
ments. He does not desire 80 lay the ad-
ministration open to the charge of arbitra-
rily depriving the incoming administration
of patronage, in n spirit of vindictiveness
or retaliation. Consequently he will OK
tend the classified service only to the de-
gree which he had determined upon in case
no were reelected. This will not affect
more than half a dozen positions in each
department..

The Now Mannlicher Rifle.

VIENNA, Nov. 12.-The experiments with
the new Mannlicher rifle by government
exports proved in every way to be satisfac-
tory. 1t fires 100 rounds per minute and is
sighted at 200 yards. 1t is of a smaller
DO Q than the previous Mannlichers, and
bullets have an increased velocity. the
weight of cartridges is lessened and the
rscoil 10 reduced to the minimum. The
shots can fred in rapid succession or at
any desired interval. The experts pro-
nounce the mechanism OF the new weapon
sound and simple. Though it pours out a
hailstorm of bullets. it does not become too
hot to handle.

In London n century ago II was no

fast men" to drink bumpers to the
health of lady out of her shoe. The
earl of Cork, in an amusing paper in the
ConnnoisSeur. relates an incident of
this kind, and, to carry the compliment
still further, he states that the shoe
was ordered to be dressed and served up
for supper. The cook set himself seri-
ously TO work upon it; he pulled the up
per part (Which was of fine damasB)
into fine shreds, and tossed IL up into a
ragout, minced the sole. cut the wooden
heel into thin slices, fried them in bat
ter and placed them round the dish for
garnish. The company testified their
affection for the lady by eating heartily
of this exquisite impromptu." Within
the last score of years, at a dinner of
Irish squires, the health of beautiful
girl, whose feet were as pretty as her
face, was drank in champagne from one
of her satin shoes, which an admirer of
the lady had contrived 20 obtain posses
