OWENS OVER 800 AHEAD.
Supporters of the Former Re-
luctant to Acknowledge
t Defeat.

LEXINGTON, KY, Sept. 17.-The
victors seek to possess the entire
field; the vanquished accept defeat
manfully. This conclusion is justified
by outside appearances here which be-
gan to manifest themselves early in the
morning. One notable indication was
the doffing of Breckenridge badges and
donning Owens badges by the most ar
dent young bloods who supported
Breckenridge throughout the campaign
with their money and their personal
services. They say they went to the
election believing that every voter at
the primaries was morally bound to
support the nominees. Now that their
favorite, for whom they fought so vail
antly, seems to have suffered defeat,
they feel in honor bound to support his
opponsnt. They seem to acquiesce in
the Inevitable. The best figures OBJ
tainat,le give returns for candidates as
follows: Owens, 1890; Breckenridge.
1870; Settle, 3,405. Owens pluarlity,
800. Corrected returns will probably
vary but little from these figures.

JAPS DRAGGING.
Wagers Laid In Toxic That
Their Army Will Soon
Occupy Pekin.
CELESTIALS ON THE LOOKOUT.
Ten Thousand Japanese Set
Sail For a Point on the
Coast of China.

LONDON, Sept. 17.-A dispatch from
Shanghai says that news has reached
Tien Tsin that feet of 81 Japanese
transports, conveying 10000 troops,
sailed few days ago from a Japanese
port. It is supposed that it is the in
tention of the Japanese commander to
land his forces at some point on the
Chinese coast. The Chinese feet under
the command of Admiral Ting has
sailed south for the purpose of inter
cepting the Japanese. Orders have
been sent to all the Chinese ports to
maintain a most careful watch for the
approach of the enemy.
Probably Exaggerated.
The correspondent of The Times at
Yokohama says: Large reinforcements
OF Japanese troops have gone to Corea.
Wagers are being made in Toxic that
the Japanese army will occupy Pekin,
the capital Of China, or Mukden, the
capital of the province of Leao-Tong,
Manchooria, on Nov. 3.
A later Shanghai dispatch says that
advices have reached there from Naga-
saki showing that number Of Japanese
troop ships, conveyed by men-of-war,
have left Hiroshami, Isle of Hondo,
bound for Chamulpo, Corea. These
probably are the vessels above men,
toned as being bound with large Jap
anese force for China.

FARGO, N. D., Sept. 17.-The investi-
cation Of the Walsh county board of
commissioners to discover by whose Of
fetal acts the col.aty is compelled to
pay the costs of the trials of blind pig
gers developed some interesting facts.
Secret correspondence of Attorney Gen.
eral Standish was produced, in which
it was disclosed that he had made a
contract with Minneapolis detective
agency to cover every county in the
state and swoop down simultaneously
upon law breakers. Raids were made
several weeks ago, 20 illegal dispensers
of beverages and keepers Of houses of
illfame being arrested in Fargo alone,
and nearly 40 in Cass county. It de-
veloped in the investigation that the de-
tective bureau was paid from fund
raised by the Secret Enforcement league.
10 this fund saloonkeepers' associations
in neighboring Minnesota cities are
supposed to have subscribed literally.
On this investigation it was not shown
who caused the sweeping raid made
recently.

FAIR LOSES A MILLION.

The Ex-senator Makes an Expensive Err
ror in Wheat Dealing.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 17.-Somebody
stands to lose 81, ,O00,O on wheat and
San Francisco grain men are wondering
who the victim is. For months L. F.
Mclaughlin bought wheat for some un-
known speculators, until he had ac-
cumulated between LIE, 1000 and 100000
tons of wheat, for which he paid an
average Of $1.20 per GENITAL. At present
prices he cannot realize within 35 cents
of as much as he paid per GENITAL for this
immense quantity of wheat. It is said
by grain dealers here that ex-senator
James G. Fair is the only man on the
coast who has enough ready money to
back mclaughlin in such big deal,
and it now looks as if he had made an
error in his calculations that will in
volve the loss Of 1000, 900.

An Unusual Condition of Affairs Exists In
4 Chicago.
CHICAGO, Sept. 17.-Chicago freight
yards are SO badly blocked with loaded
cars that it is almost impossible to move
anything in them. The blockade is as
severe as has ever existed here, though
the traffic of the roads is very much be-
low what it has been in some previous
years. The laden cars for the most part
contain grain for which no storage room
can be found. The elevators are all full
to overaowing and consignees are for
the time being forcing the roads to
transform their cars into storage ware
houses. It is estimated that there are
5000 cars loaded with grain on the
tracks in and around Chicago, delivery
OF which cannot be taken at present.
Roads most inconvenienced are the
Wabash, Illinois Central and Chicago
and Eastern Illinois.

Lyman Dayton, a Resident of
st. Paul Since 40, Dies in
South Dakota.
HE HAD A LEG AMPUTATED.
His Age Was Against Him
and He Failed to Survive
the Shock.

ABERDEEN, S. D., Sept. 17.-Lyman
G.. Dayton, who suffered amputation of
the right leg above the knee at noon
Saturday, died here Sunday night, aged
63 years. His limb became diseased by
reason of chronic diabetes and partial
paralysis, and amputation was resorted
to as the only chance Of saving his life.
The bone and flesh were found to be in
a decomposed condition, and the end
would have come in a few days at most.
The remains were taken to st. Paul ffor
last services and burial. The aged
mother of the deceased, Mrs. Maria B.
Nell of Anoka county, Minn., is the
only immediate member Of the family
who survives him. Mr.. Dayton was
one of the pioneers of St. Paul, having
removed there with his parents from
Providence, R. l., in 1849, when the
Minnesota metropolis was
Little More Than an Indian Village.
He and his father purchased $40 acres
Of land, which later became known as
Dayton's Bluff. He was educated in
the law and otherwise at Poughkeepsie,
N. Y, and practiced for time in New
York city. Later he returned to St.
Paul and Minneapolis and re-entered
the real estate business, in which he
was for many years very successful. In
1881, when the James River valley was
opened to settlement, he made extern
sive purchases of town lots in the new
towns Of Aberdeen, Milbank, Water
town and other places. He also filed on
quarter section of land now within
the city limits Of Aberdeen. The same
has been repeatedly contested, and the
case is now one of the most celebrated
in the land department. at Washington,
| and still remains unsettled.

Being asked as to the prospects for
defeating Congressman Wilson, the ex-

ginia was a protective tariff state and
its industries would be ruined if the
free trade policy of Democracy were
carried out as intended. You are likely
to see political revolution in West
Virginia, concluded Mr.. Elkins.
