CALIFORNIA.

The Populists Have Largely Reduced the
 Republican Vote.
 San Francisco. Nov. 7,-There seems no doubt this evening that California has gone democratic so far as the gov ernorship is concerned. but the state will probably elect republican lieuten- ant governor and most of the other state officers. An almost solid repub- lican delegation is assured.
 In the southern part of the state, lsu- ally strongly republican, the plurality has been reduced by the populist vote. Returns on the vote for governor from 113 precincts out of 2,274 gives Estes 3S,S47, Budd 46, PIP, Webster 15.422. Chair man Gould, of the democratic state com mittee, claims that Budd will be elected by . plurality of 5000.
 For congress, Loud, rep, and Maguire, dem., have been elected. Republicans surely win in the First, Second, Third, Fafth, Sixth and seventh congressional districts. Chairman Gould is confident that the democrats have carried the leg .islature by | siight majority.

 The body of Alexander TIT. was re- moved on Tuesday night from the palace to the church in Livadia. The scene was an imposing one. Cossacks holding torches lined the route, along which. amid the tolling of bells, the coffin was borne by @ number of gigan- tic men picked from the Circassian Guards. Fifty priests accompanied the procession. On entering the church the coffin was taken by the Czar Mich olas, the grand dukes and the high officials and placed upon red cata- falQue.
 The members of the imperial family and court then gathered round the catafalque, the pail was removed and an impressive service followed.
 The body will arrive in sebastopol tomorrow and will lie there in state for three hours The town has been profusely draped for the occasion.

AHirh Price for an Ungiven Kiss.

 Kissing, as many people have found, Is a comparatively costly amusement; but few people have had to pay so high ly for an attempted kiss as an un- lucky doctor of the Madras civil service. This gentleman was driving in q dog cart with another gentleman's wife, and so far forgot himself, under the in- fiuence of the lady's charms, as to ask for . kiss. In some reprehensible cases of this sort the indulgence has been taken first and permission asked after wards; but we are glad to know that the Madras civil surgeon did mot soar to such heights of wickedness as that. At any rate, when he asked leave to kiss her, the lady very properly refused. Sniitten by remorse, the erring doctor wrote a letter of apology to the wife; the wife laid the letter before her hus- hand: the husband laid 1t before the Madras government; and the Madras government called on the doctor to re- sikn. All the clemency they could show him was to allow him to remain in the service a few months longer % as to qualify for the lowest grade of fspension. who shall say that the Indian govern lnert is not a paternal ruler? Or that we do not govern the licentious east On Che principles of the highest British morality? Still, 1t does seem hard on | mansto lose his profession, prospects, and career for the sake aof . kiss, es- pecfally when he has not even got the kiss st James Gazette

Surplus .. .. $1, ,4O5,5O7 S9O1, 1928 SIP,

The rise of some thirteen points in New York and New Haven stock during the last six weeks, together with semi official statement that the road is now earning at the rate of 10 per cent. has given circulation to the rumor that the old dividend might be renewed. h. quiry of officials of the road shows there is no immediate prospect of any increase of the per cent. dividend rate. The company has very costly improve ments yet to be made, including the four-tracking through Bridgeport, new passenger station and enlarged freight facilities at this city, and the extensive Improvements at Providence and on the Old Colony division. It is estimated that these altogether will not cost less than $6, ,O0O, and q new issue of stock to meet part of the expenses is much more likely than any increase of .divi- dend.
 The company's freight business on the New York division has shown for October an increase of 100 per cent, over that for October of 1893. and a regular through fast freight train has just had to be added to the service. About S0,000 loaded freight cars were handled on the divisions during the month.
 The question of changing the obnox- ious bylaw suppressing discussion at the annual meeting has been referred to g committee of the directors, and there is no doubt that it will be greatly amended or abrogated.
