A well-known international journalist,

But VERY FEW HITCHES.
Our New System of Voting a
Success.
THE TINE STANFORD TOOK.
If Every Citizsn Had Done Likewise One
Half the Votes Could Not Have
Been Cast

Was the working Of the Australian ballot
In this city success?
The general opinion seems to be that 1t
undoubtedly was. or course there are
always hitches when any new movement or
system Is introduced into the workings of
public affairs. The greatest cry yesterday
against the new ballot system was its slow.
ness. Still it may be asked, "Was not this
in great measure due to the voters going
practically unprepared TO the polls?"
There is no doubt whatever about this.
Many voters of average thought and intel
ligence. who had made up their minds for
whom to vote before they got in line at the
polling station and who had not only given
little attention to the working of the sys-
tenn, but had prepared their forms of ballot
beforehand, gave 1t as their unanimous
opinion that man ought to be able to cast
his vote in from four to ten minutes.
Many voters. however, who had heard the
new system lectured upon and seen il prac-
tically illustrated thought they knew it all.
As matter of consequence they went to
the poll full of selfconfdence and assur-
ance. But when they got in their stalls
they found they wanted to ask innumerable
questions and there was nc one present to
answer them satisfactorily.
In fact IL appears to have been matter
of general complaint that the officers at the
various booths were as general thing very
insuffieiently drilled in the workings of the
system. These lfficers should have been

strictly examined as TO their ntim te
knowledge of its working from every con-
ceivable point Of view. Lots of time would
then have been saved and candidates at the
foot of their tirkets would have secured
larger numbers of votes.
1t is good thing for those who were un-
prepared. and those who had not made up
their minds for whom TO vote before they
entered the polling place. that the ten
minute limit was not enforced. Voters
results otherwise might have been lament
ably disastrous to the various parties.
There Is therefore every reason to believe
that II every educated and intelligent voter
had carefully thought out his ballot before
going up to vote more than One-half of the
votes could have been cast we'll under the
ten-minute limit.
Then, of course. there are the ignorant
classes of voters, and those who used to got
tangled up on the old system, doubtless got
very mixed up on the new. The cry of
slowness, however. seems to come from the
careless or unprepared voter rather than
from those whose lack Of education entities

explanation OF the difficulties which naturally
present themselves to those unaeeustomed
10 the transactions of ordinary commercial
or business pursuits. There is little or no
excuse. however, for men who did not
trouble to consider their vote before they
went to the poll. Not only did they occupy
stalls long beyond their allotted time but
they seriously bindered other citizens who
were unfortunate enough to be stationed
behind them. One of the most noticeable
OF this class of voters was no less a person.
age than Leland Stanford. who took Just
f0rty-fye minutes to conform TO all the re-
quirements of the Australian ballot system.
The Senator came to the polls driven in
his elegant carriage. There were dozen
or two uucrowned sovereigns waiting their
turn TO get place in the stall. when the
senatorial equipage arrived on the scene.
Those who weIe awaiting their turn did
not press forward TO elbow the Senator
back to the end of the line. They did not
press their claims 10 priority either, nor did
the Senator appear to consider they had
any.
Not he. He marched right into the booth,
got his ballot, and looked thoughtfully at
the ceiling for moment or two, while an
oppressive hush fell on those present.
At last a dilatOry voter edged his way

the vacant place.
The minutes began to take their place In
the history OF the past, but Stanford moved
not. Voters came and went and cast an in

A RATTLESNAKE PLAGUE.
The Strange Infiiction of Region Ii

Wilmington Messenoer

The Strange 1nhictiOn of Region iI
Delaware.
Wilmington Messenger
Two gentlemen of Whining gton, who have
been down in Shallotte Township, Bruins
wick County, about fifty-fve miles from this
city. bring the news that there is much
alarm in that township over a rattlesnake
plague. There has been very little rain in
that section recently, and bay in the vi
cinity of Mr.. Valenti tine Smiths place has
become almost dry. This bay is infested
with the mons ter rattlesnakes so peculiar {,
this section. and they have gone out of the
bay and crawled all through the neighbor-
hood.
Within the past sixty days three negroes
and one white woman have been bitten and
Killed by these yenomous reptiles. besides
scores of horses and cattle. Mr.. b. C.
Smith lost fine mule few days ago. and
many dogs have been killed by the bite of
the rattler. The snakes crawl into the resi-
dences in many instances, and many have
been killed in and under the cabins OF the
negroes. The white woman who was bitten
heard noise in her house and got up to sea
what 1t was, and WAS bitten as soon as she
got on the fo0r She died in terrible agony
within few hours. The fatality among
cattle Is especially great, and the people
have TO keep their cows penned up at home
to prevent them from grazing on the borders
of the bay.
A number Of persons have become panic
stricken and moved away from the vicinity
of the bay, which is near the Waecamaw
River People whe drive along the road
can hear the wicked singing of the snakes
rattles in the grass and bushes, and many
large snakes have been killed in the roads.
The informants of the Messenger drove
along portion of the road near the bay
spoken of, and they heard several snakes
rattliDg as their vehicles stirred them from
their lair
Some of the snakes in this section are Of
enormous size, and the fve-feet-one-inch
rattler killed TWO miles from the city day
or two ago is pigmY alongside of some of
these Shallote reptiles. The story told by
the two gentlemen is true in every respect,
except that hey cannot youch for the state
ment made by one of the re sidents that huge
rattler, with sixty-three rattles ana but
ton, W as killed there a few days ago. This
was told to them by a reliable man, and il
this is true this is the oldest snake ever
heard of in this part of the country. The
statement, however, that four persons and
numbers of horses, cattle and dogs have
been bitten aud killed is absolutely true and
vouched for, and there is no difficulty in
believing it when everybody knows what
enormous rattlesnakes are often killed even
within few miles of Wilmington.

PARTISAN ANARCHISTS.
Four Policemen Blown to Pieces by Dyna-
mite.


PARIS. Nov. S.-The anarchists are at
work again here. This morning policemen
found an iron instrument resembling
saucepan near the office of the Carmaux
Mining Company. took it to the police sta
tion and began TO examine il, when it ex-
plOded.
When the CONSERVATION subsided a search
was made of the station and the bodies of
four were found. They presented a most
ghastly spectacle, being horribly mutilated.
Besides the killed, an inspector OF police
was mortaly wounded.
So violent was the explosion that the
houses In the vicinity were shaken TO their
foundations. and the occupants rushed into
the streets. fearing that the buildings were
about to fail. Two stories of the police sta
tion were completely wrecked and the
whole street was thiekly strewn with de-
bris. 1t is not believed that the men killed
ever knew what struck them. They were
so fearfully mangled that death must have
been instantaneous.
The excitement caused by the outrage
grows in intensity and many were the
threats made. This Afternoon the Prime
Minister, the Minister of Justice, the Pro-
cureur of the Republic and the Prefect of
Police visited the scene, and the structure
sented a sinister appearance. The room
where the explosion occurred was covered
with splashes of blood and bits OF skin and
bone. Fragments OF the bodies were mixed
with the debris and the sight was horrible
one. Near the door lay the body Of police
man. his clothing torn to shreds A portion
OF the sergeants body WAS found lying in
corner OF the room. The headless trunk of
porter was picked up ia an adjacent
street. Only part of the trunk Of the CON-
missary's secretary was found intact. The
head was not discovered. The police station
has been pulled down. A geDdsrme run

officials of the explosion fell dead in the

crowd. A small boy made his appearance
bearing six traysfull of ROSTERS. His wares
sold like hot cakes and two minutes after
his appearance every hat in the room was
decorated with the boastful emblem of

To some the news appeared to be too
glowing TO be realistic. and to satisfy
themselves on this point rush was made
for THE CALL branch Office.
Chairman Pepper looked as if months of
anxiety for the welfare of the nation had
been lifted OFF his shoulders. and he oc-

Opened by the King-shouts for Universal
Suffrage.

Suffrage.
BRUSSELS. Nov. s. The King to-day
opened the Parliament in person. His
Majesty drove from the palace to the House
OF Parliament. The socialists were alert,
aud large numbers of them gathered from
central points singing the Marsellaise as the
King passed along. In speaking 10 the
Senate the King alluded to the proposed
revision OF The constitution, saying be was
convinced that the amended instrument
would be work of concord. wisdom and
progress. His Majesty referred to the gen.
eral commercial depression. which he de-
clared had been made worse by the rigorous
protective tariff. Nevertheless, there was
no diminution in the eountry's production
or her commercial activity; for the outlets
OF commerce new markets were being dis
covered.
When the King had concluded Janson
aud Eerron, radical Deputies for Brussels
rose from their seats and shouted, Long
live universal suffrage" As the King re-
turned TO the palace and the civic guards
were returning TO their depots bands of
socialists followed them, shouting for uni
versal suffrage.
