New YORK, Nov. 1O.-The addition of
Ohio's electoral vote to the Cleveland
column, which is conceded by the Gin
cinnati Commercial Gazette, makes the
total for Cleveland and Stevens the
largest ever given to any candidate for
tho presidency and vice presidency, and
their majority is the largest except those
of Grant and Wilson in 1872. The votes
will be as follows: Cleveland 300, Har-
rison 112, Weaver 80.
The World says: Harrison and Reid
are the worse beaten in the electoral
college than any men who have ran for
president since Horace Greeley's cam
pain in 1872. They will receive barely
more votes than Greeley would have
had, had he lived until the college met.
Cleveland and Stevens will receive more
votes in the electoral college than any
candidates have ever before had.
The transfer of Ohio to the democratic
column raises the Cleveland vote to over
300, and reduces Harrison's to little
more than 100. Latest reports indicate
that the next United States senate will
be divided as follows: Democrats AZ,
republicans 40, peoples party e.
California, at first was put down for
Harrison, is now practically conceded
to the democrats.
Claim is made of Nebraska by the
republicans on the strength of the re-
publican gains in the first district, but
the state has undoubtedly chosen the
Weaver electors. 6#sgs
Indiana gives Cleveland a majority of
from 5000 to 1000.
Fatal Railroad Collision.
OTTUMwA, Ia., Nov. 10.-A fearful
catastrophe occurred on the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul road at Highland
Center, small station on that road
north of this city. A fast freight crashed
into the caboose of local freight stand
ing on the track, telescoping the caboose
and four cars. The caboose caught fire
and the scene which followed was heart
rending. Four people were burned alive
and number of others had narrow
escapes. The caboose was split in two
by car of grain, wedging in four people
on the right side. These were probably
fatally injured.
Fuji-san. the Sacred Mountain of japan.
All the mountains of Japan are of un-
questioned volcanic origin, and Fuji stands
where Hondo, the main island. is broadest
About twenty craters are still active
throughout the islands, but Fuji-san be-
longs to the much greater number which
are now inactive. Its last eruption oc-
Cured in 1907, continuing more than a
month. AS far away as Toxic, sixty miles
northeast, the ashes fell to depth Of
seven or eight inches, while on the To
kaido, twelve or fifteen miles southeast,
the accumulation was six feet. At this
time was formed Ho-yei-san, secondary
or parasitic cone on the southeast slope
No other mountains in Japan reach
within 5000 feet of the elevation of Fuji,
and it is therefore in prominent view from
an immense aren, including thirteen prov
fnces of the empire. Certain avenues in
Toxic are called Fuji-mi, or Fuji viewing
streets, and from all of them the famous
peak is a glorious spectacle. All winter
long the summit Of Fuji-san is unap-
proachable, and from November to July
SHOWS reign supreme. In the latter month.
however, when the trails up the mounta.a :
slopes are laid bare. the ascent becomes
feasible, and remains so throughout the
summer and early autumn. Professor
