MARKING THE BALLOTS.
How It Affected the Election In the sts
of Ohio,

How 1t Affected the Election in the State
of Ohio.
Special Dispatch to the Evening Sta
COLUMBUS OHIO, Nov. 1.-THE abstract Of
the votes Of three counties, Knox, Fairfield and
Marion. received at the secretary of states Of
fee this morning indicate that at least one
democratic presidential elector has been
chosen In this state, though the rest of that
electoral ticket is defeated in these three coun-
ties. Seward, the first elector at the top Of the
democratic ticket, leads his ticket by lib votes.
and Danford at the same place on the repubh-
can ticket leads his ticket by ninety-fve votes.
1t comes from the fact that ignorant
voters who wished to vote straight
ticket placed cross at the left of
the name at the top Of the ticket
instead of in the ring at the
top OF the ticket as the new law provides.
Under last years law this would have been
counted straight ticket, but this year it
counts only as vote for the particular elector
whose name Is marked with the cross.
and the voter is held to have voted for
no other electors. If Seward and Danford
were running against each other the mistakes
on the two tickets would Offset each other, but
the electors receiving the highest votes are
elected. no matter on what ticket they are
running.
Should it turn out that the democrats have
carried the state then the republicans will take
tuls one eltClOr NJ neaQ OF the ticket. On the
basis of these three counties it will make diff
ference Of 5000 votes in the state
CHAIRMAN DICKS STATEMENT
At noon Chairman Dick Of the republican
state executive committee stated that figures
he had from this state indicate that the lowest
elector on the republican ticket has 95S pu-
rality, and S. NJ Taylor. republican candidate
for secretary of state has LII plurality. This
appears to be guess. no figures have been
kept anywhere as to which are the highest and
lowest electors.

MISSIONARIES SALARIES,
A Committee of the M. Il. Church Decide
They should Be Paid on . Gold Basis.

A Committee of the M. T.. Church Decides
They should Be Paid on . Gold Basis.
The general missionary committee Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church at Baltimore yes
terday had an interesting discussion Of the SILL
yer question. 1t came up in the report Of the
committee on equalization Of salaries Of mis-
sionaries, as reported by Bishop Foss Of Phila-
delphia.
The discussion developed the fact that while
exchange of products between the United
States and China, Japan and certain South
American countries results in q premium on
silver in India it results in premium on gold
over silver of 50 per cent ON the dollar: thus,
while slightly increasing salaries to missionaries
in China andsome other countries, il depreciates
the salaries of missionaries in India.
Bishop Thoburn Of India moved that all ap-
preparations for salaries in so-called silver
countries shall have the benefit Of the pre-
MUM ON gold up to 80 per cent. The question
was discussed for three hours by many of the
bishops, the arguments adduced being at times
strikingly like discussion OF silver bill in
Congress.
Bishop Thoburn accepted the amendment Of
Bishop Fitzgerald that salaries in India be paid
ON the gold basis, and finally the preamble Of
the report and the first resolution of the COM
mittee was referred to the missionary board Of
New York, with the accommodation that sala-
ries Of missionaries shall be adjusted on the
old basis.

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.


The twenty-ffth annual report of the In
dustrial Home School for the fiscal year ending
June 50, 1892, submitted to the Commits
sioners today. The home is located on the
Tenleytown road adjoining the new observa-
tory. The report states that the main
building is unfit for habitation. 1t was erected
sixty-two years ago for an aims house. and for
forty-five years thereafter was occupied
as refuge for Paupers. In this con-
nection. the report says. it is abso-
lutely necessary that separate building for
hospital purposes be erected. The receipts
from the carpenters shop during the year
amounted to S5s6.57; from the green house,
SS20.39. During the year ffty-five children
were admitted to the home and tifty-five dis
charged. Homes were fonnd for thirteen and
employment with pay for ten. Twenty-eight
were returned to their parents. one was ACCT
dentally drowned and three ran away.

MR.. BRUCE ON THE ELECTION.

He Says Dissatisfaction With the Tariff
Caused the Republican Defeat.
Ex-senator Bruce, the recorder Of Deeds re-
turned to the city this morning after several
weeks campaigning in the west. To STAR
reporter he said in reference to the result
of the election: 1.-The defeat Of the
republican party is not due to dissatis-
faction with President Harrison. for be has
given the country one of the ablest and clean
est administrations we have ever had.
This fact was conceded by the opposition in the
canvass and there was an absence of attacks
the President. The assaults were all
on the principles of the party, especially
the tariff. The defeat is due to the
protective tariff, which the republican party
promised to adjust and they did adjust il. but
not in a manner satisfactory to the voters of the
country. / found in my campaign that
the workingmen and laboring classes we're
imbued with the idea that under a low
tariff they would be enabled to purchase the
necessaries of life cheaper than they could
under a high riff. ard no argument could
convince them otherwise. In 1880 the people
cautioned US. but We took no heed.
The colored people are not by any means panic
stricken by the result. but take the defeat as
philosophically as other people. and will con-
tinue TO devote their energies to improvements.

THE GREAT NAVAL REVIEW.

Admiral Gherardi VIII Urge south Amer
lea to Send q Naval Representation.
1t is believed that Admiral Gherardi during
his cruise in South American waters will take
occasion to urge the republics TO send a naval
representation to the great review in New York
harbor next spring.
Some curiosity is expressed in naval circles
as to the manner in which the squadron will be
received in Chilean waters. and those who are
In position to speak authoritatively say that
the Chileans will be only too glad to seize upon
the opportunity to show that they no longer
bear any i'll feeling toward the United States,
and that the ships viii be most cordially re-
ceived.
From Chile the war vessels will proceed
through the Magellan straits to Monteyideo
and thence will come direct to New York or
possibly Hampton Roads by way Of the West
Indies, reaching home some time in March
Admiral Gherardi. the senior officer
OF the navy, who will have COM
niand of the entire American fleet at the
naval review. will then begin active prepara-
tions TO receive the squadrons of foreign coun-
tries at the rendezvous in Hampton Roads
prior TO going 10 New York. At this rendezvous
the foreigners will be given positions in
anchorage and in the fleet evolutions
according TO the rank Of the visiting officers
and not according to the rank of the country
as naval power. 1t is safe 10 say. however
that Great Britain will be careful to
send an officer Of sufficient rank to Sc
cure her the place of honor In the large
feet which will sail TO New York from Fort
Monroe. At the head OF the fleet will fly the
stars and stripes and the blue pennant OF Ad-
miral Gherardi.
Thus far Great Britain is the only power that
has signited its intention to send feet. but all
the other large powers will doubtless be well
represented.
Mexico. Ecuador and Belgium have declined
the invitation for the reason that they could
not make a creditable showing with their small
davies and obsolete ships Every ship in the
United States navy that can be possibly pressed
into service will be in Hampton Roads. and it Is
expected at the Navy Department that the re-
view will be the largest that has ever taken
place in this or in any other country.

Ideas of the Cause.
LONDON, Nov. 11.-Replying to number Of
CORES pondents who asked his opinion Of the
fall in the amount Of British exports Mr.. Arthur
j. Balfour, formerly first lord Of the treasury,
has written a letter. in which he says that one
of the most practical remedies will be to reform
the currency in the direction of bi-metallism.
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain the liberal unionist
leader, in writing on the same subject points
out that the condition of trade is as bad in pro-
tected countries as in England, from which he
reasons that the causes are not principally con-
nected with tariffs.
The Duke of Rutland, in letter to his ten
ants on the Chevely estate announcing his in
tention to sell the land. does not hesitate to sav
that the depression in the agricultural industry
is due TO the free importation of agricultural
products. The duke thus publicly reverts to
the policy of protective tariff on grain.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YoaK, Nov. 1.-THE republican national
committee is closing its headquarters today and
taking account of stock. They find defeat not
only Of the President, but the Senate and
House. Talks with members of the committee
show that they generally believe that the tariff
idea has been carried to extreme
and that this. with the force bill bug
aboo. caused the result. The Australian ballot,
as foretold in this correspondence months ago.
was potent vehicle in permitting working
men to vote their personal sentiments
without fear Of their employers. and this doubt
less changed thousands of votes and reversed
the results in some close manufacturing states.
Todays advices confirm the feeling that no
doabt the Senate will be democratic. Already
democrats are beginning to talk about
dividing out the offices. Chairman
Murphy claims the New York senatorshp and
it is believed here he will get it. 1t is believed
that Whitney will be the Secretary of State,
