in 1886 She enumerates that women
have about succeeded in gaining admis-

ard Catholic faiths. She says:
women are engaging more and more

braces nearly all the trades, arts and
professions.
out of 451 colleges and universities
in the United States, only Al are closed
to women. All the others are now CO.

TerS3ty at st. Petersburg at the recent
examina tons. There are 123, 955 women
teachers in England
Twenty-Five states have given the ed

THE Russian government has as
signed an annual grant of about $4S, 600

NEW YORK, Nov. PA Tribune
special from Washington says: The
Madrid government has known for
some time that the struggle to sup
press the revolution in Cuba will not be
successful. General Weyler has recently
been urged on to more energetic ef-
forts by the Madrid authorities and
kilograms from Havana now announce
that he has taken the field in person.
But well-informed persons who have
been in Cuba and who know the situa-
ton there thoroughly, say that Wey-
Ter and his nearly 100000 troops cannot
put down the revolution, and that he
has made no decided progress since re-
lieving General Campos. The Spanish
government is endeavoring to keep up
d bold front But it sees the humiliat-
ing word failure written on the wall
Cuba is a Spanish province, and the
government which shows that 1t is IN
capable of putting down a rebellion on
the island, is doomed to oblivion. This
is a grave question for Premier Can
ovas' cabinet TO face. 1t must face II,
however, and it is doing so with COM
mendable courage and determination.
But Tie nOuT Is approaching winch II
must stand before the people of Spain
and admit that it can no longer hold
Cuba That will be a disastrous admis-
sion for the government to make, but
an advantageous one to Don Carlos
When made, the overthrow of the pres
ent ministry will certainly and quickly
follow, if it appears that the govern
ment permitted the Cuban insurgents
to win their independence unaided by
foreign assistance.
But if Cuba is lost to Spain as a re-
suit of war with the United States, the
government will not lose prestige at
home Spain would certainly be van
quished in such a conflict. But the
government would say in the hour of
defeat, and the Spanish will believe,
that the Cubans would have been held
in suhject:on had not American arms
prevailed over those of Spain. There
fore, it would be good policy, and from
the governments point of view, pa
triotic, to bring on hostilities with this
country Alfonso would lose Cuba, but
he would gain popularity among his
people-an advantage dearer to him and
mis- adherents than the Queen Of the
ntilleS

FRANKFORT, KY, Nov. 12.-The
official returns of the vote in each
county for the election of November 8
are all in and. with the counties of
Marshall, Mclean and Montgomery,
left off of the table prepared by the
secretary of state, because of unex-
planned Irregularities, they show that
W. 3. Smith, the first Democratic cleo
tor, will have a vote in the electoral
college. The other II electors will be
Republicans with the counties of Mar
shall, Mclean and Montgomery left
ouD.
S. S. Kash, the first Republican cleo
tor, received 215,0S6 votes; Smith, the
first Democratic elector, 212, $50; Trim
bic. the last Republican elector, 212, 3S9,
and Ward, the first National Demo-
crat elector, 5,01S. Smiths plurality
over the hindmost Republican elector
may be wiped out altogether by the
official count, and it cannot be said for
certain yet that Trimble is the man.
The official vote of the Seventh con-
gressional district shows that Settle
defeated Colonel Breckenridge by 1903
votes.
The total of the unofficial vote of
Mclean, Marshall and Montgomery
counties give Kash, 1859: Smith, 4,90S.
These figures make McKinley's plural
ity in the state 257. The returning
board will meet in a few days and an
nounce the official result.
