HOUSTON.

Houston, Nov. THE vote in this
county is not yet completed, owing to
the unusual amount of scratching Oh
the Australian ballot. A peculiar
feature of this system shows that e
intelligent voters lose part OF their
votes, while the ignorant do not. The
large body OF intelligent sufTragans
totally ignored the two constitutional
amendments, one providing for state
maintenance of the Confederate Home
and the other making the railroad
commission elective. The voter
who could not read had
his attention called to them
by the clerk, who arranged his
ticket, which would indicate that
the masses of the people know nUth-
Ing about amending state constitu-
tions, as the vote upon these amend.

of the total cast. The vote for gov

TRADE AND LABOR ASSEMBLY.

Chicago, Nov. 5.-Aftcr wrangling for
fully two hours last night the Trade and
Labor assembly, by vote of Is to 26,
refused TO instruct its delegates to the
coming convention of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor to vote for plank TO-
as contained in the political platform of
the national organization. The Social
lists, however. declared that the end is
not yet. Plank 10 is that part of the fed
Grafton platform which provides for the
ownership of the means of production and
distribution. and this is not the first time
that its consideration has raised tu-
multi in Chicago labor organizations. A
bout the time vote was to be taken on
the plank Il number of delegates left the
hall. it is said, for reason that they did
not know how their organizations stood
on the questions and therefore did not
want to 20 on record one way or other.
There ar 900 delegates to the assembly
and last night al delegates were present.

have to face the dull self-sufIiciensy and
the stolidness of an administration that

cratic nominees. What wonder that such
conduct in the officials should breed dis
affection in the rank and file? What won

Shanghai, Nov 5.-The Chinese army
under General Shang, which evacuated
Chen Lien Cheng, is in mountain pass
on the high road to Pekin. Strict orders
have been issued to this army to defend

again stated in Ticn Tsin that a Japanese

Kwan. 1t is expected that foreigners
will be officially requested to leave Pekin
within Il fortnight. No Chinese version
has been received of the fighting at Tai

THE HIGHEST AWARD.
Royal Baking Powder in Strength and
Value 20 Per Cent Above Its
Nearest Competitor

The Royal Baking Powder has the en-
viable record of having received the high
est award for articles of its class
greatest strength, purest ingredients,
most perfectly OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES eX-
Injected in competition with others. In
the exhibitions of former years, at the
Centennial, at Paris, Vienna and at the
various state and industrial fairs, where
it has been exhibited, judges have in
variably awarded the Royal Baking Pow
der the highest honors.
At the recent Worlds Fair the eXami-
nation for the baking powder awards
were made by the experts of the chemi-
cal division of the agricultural depart
ment of Washington. The official report
of the tests of the baking powders which
were made by this department for the
specific purpose of ascertaining which
was the best, and which has been made
public shows the leayening strength OF
the Royal to be $50 cubic inches of car
bonc gas per ounce of powder. or the
cream of tartar baking powders exhibited
at the fair the next highest in stregth
thus tested conained but 1873 cubic iches
of leavening gas. The other powders
gave an average of111. The Royal, here
fore, was found of 20 per cent above the
average of all the other tests. Its supe-
rioriy in other respects, however, in the
quality of the food it makes as to fine
ness, delcacy and whOesomeneSS, could
not be measured by figures.
1t is these high qualities, known and
appreciated by the women of the country
for so many years, that have caused the
sales of the Royal Baking Powder, as
shown by satisfies, to exceed he sales of
all other baking powders combined.

GOV. FISHBACK'S VIEWS.

Little Rock, Nov. 7.-Govcrnor Fish
back said in regard to the election re-
suits:
"Thc party entered the contest on the
defensive. Ever since the sugar sched
ule of the senate called for an invcstiga-
ton of bribery you could see that in al
most all of the Democratic senator's
speeches. If Senator Jones' explanation
was published abroad we may easily ac-
count for the los of not less than 100000
votes. You remember the press of the
country charged the senate with having
postponed the collection Oftariff on sugar
until 1895, so as to give the sugar trust
an opportunity to buy up the present crop
of raw sugar bringing it in free of duty
under the Mckinley bill and then, in
January when it all was brought in the
trust would put on the tariff and they
collect it and not the government. Sen
ator Jones says that BriCe swore before
the investigation committee that the
trust would be more benefited by having
the tariff collected in June or July at
the then supposed passage of the bill,
whereupOn the collection was arranged to
this very time when Brice said it would
benefit the trust most. Now this is just
what the Republicans charge, that the
senates act was in behalf of the trust in
stead of the people

PARIS,

Paris, Nov. Partial returns have
been received from every precinct in
the county. These give the Demo-
cratic state and county ticket an
average plurality of 1900. Fully 1000
Democrats did not vote. The main
interest was in the congressional
race, between d. G. Culberson and
Cyclone Davis. Culberson, 1888 plu-
rality. The remaining precincts will
make little change. Figures received
from all other counties in the district
except Cass, Bowie and Morris show
that Culberson has 124i plurality.
The returns from these countie' v i'll
probably reduce his plurality to 1000,
but he is safe.
