would be slightly increased, as Il few
of those classified as democrats have in

in doubt and no attempt has been made
to include Washington and South Da-
kota and three districts in Texas in the

turns. Washington has probably gone

THE GLASS WORKS CASE.

Paris, Nov. 5.-In the chamber of dep
uties today NJ. Jaures, the socialist lead
er, accused the government of concerning
with NJ. Kossignier, the owner of the
Carmaux glass works, in organizing the
demonstration against the socialist dep
uties who opened a new cooperative
glass factory at Albin, near Carmaux,
on Sunday last and with illegally dis
persing a socialist meeting.
NJ. Barthou. minister of the interior,
amid Interruptions, denied that the gov
eminent had opposed the cooperating
work. the establishment of which was
resented by the workingmen of CarmauX.
The government, he added, only took
measures necessary to preserve order.
Finally the order of the day support
ing the government was adopted.

THE REPUBLICANS CLAIM KEN

DEMOCRATS CHARGE
FRAUD.
SOUTH DAKOTA'S COUNT results IN A TIE.
The Republicans Charge Fraud in the
Memphis Congressional District
They Give Up All Claims to
Kansas-Carislc's POSSIBLE
tiles in Kentucky.

The returns as received at this office
from the Associated Press touching on
the national election show that Bryan
has carried Nebraska by a small major
ity: that the Republicans have given up
Kansas and that they are still claiming
Kentucky as belonging to them, though
that state is still in doubt The unoffi-
cial returns from South Dakota show
that Bryan and Mckinley are tied in
that state and it will take an official
count to decide the result.
The democrats are charging the gross
est of frauds against the republicans in
Kentucky, saying that as fast as they
can knock out republican claimed ma
jority in any box accessible to the wires
and the regular lines of commerce that
the republicans go to some remote noun
tain box and overcome the democratic
gain.
In retaliation, as it were, the republi-
cans claim that in the Memphis (Tenn.)
district they are being cheated out of q
congressman by fraudulent returns.
In Delaware, matters are so mixed To-
cally that the courts will have to set
tie the political complexion of the next
legislature.
In North Carolina, neither of the three
political parties in the state will have
u majority in the legislature and will
about break even in the matter.
Oregon has gone for Mckinley by Il
very narrow margin, from unofficial re-
turns, and nothing has been heard as to
what California intends doing.

FRAUD CHARGED.
The Democrats Say That the Republic
cans are Rascals.

Louisville, Ky, Nov. 6.-To NJ. T.
Stone, Chicago-I am more confident to-
night than l have been since the election
that the democratic electoral ticket was
elected in Kentucky, but | have an album
dance of evidence that the republicans of
the mountain counties, where democrats
are exceedingly scarce, have perpetrated
the grossest frauds both before and since
the polls closed on Tuesday. This infor-
nation has come to me from most reprl-
table men at Middlesborough, Pinevile
other towns in eastern Kentucky.
The republican committee has kept up
a steady claim the past three days of
plurality of from 600 to 1000. During
this time they have been forced to ac-
knowledge to errors which have reduced
their claims 800 in Fayette county, 633
in Hardin. 494 in Galloway, 331 in Ken
ton, 100 in Campbell. 100 in Scott and
enough in Christian, Henderson and Da-
vies and other counties to still further
reduce their claims more than 500. Thus
they have been compelled to scale their
calculations nearly 5000 votes, while the
democratic estimates in these counties
have been practically unchanged, but
every time they have been forced to ac-
knowledge the truth about one of the
central and western counties. which, with
good telegraph and telephone wires, were
speedily covered by the news agencies,
they have been able to draw on one of
these remote mountain counties for a ma
jority far surprising anything ever
known in their history, and still they
claim the state by 600.
The republicans at first claimed II, 100
in the Eleventh district and have grad
ually risen to $4,000. [ am confident of

PERSONALITIES

Edwin A. Abbey. who has been made an
associate of the Royal Academy, is now
about forty-three years old. He ia of med
ium stature and muscular physique, and
his hair, mustache and eyes are brown, the
latter looking through gold-rinmed spec
tacles. His jaw is broad, his nose large
and his forehead rather low. Although he
gained his first great repute as draughts-
man. he excels not only in pen and ink but
in water-color, oil. etching and pastel.
In biographical sketch of her father,
the poet. in the current number of the
Cambridge Magazine, Miss Alice Longfel.
low says that an unpaid bill weighed on
him like nightmare. He was so reserved
and talked so little about himself, that
sometimes volume of his verses would ap-
pear in print without his family even
knowing that 1t was in course of prepare
ton. He was fond of his children TO the
extent of permitting them to play marbles
on carpet having a pattern very desra-
BILE for the purpose.
The New York World says Robert Louis
Stevenson loved children and wrote them
familiar letters. In one, addressed to a
Scotch child the novelist writes: "When
you grow up and write stories like me, you
will be able to understand that there is
scarcely anything more painful for an au-
thor to hold than a pen. He has to do it SO
often that his heart sickens and his fingers
ache at sight or touch of it," When Stew
enson was i'll. he complained to an ac-
qiaintance that the half crown q week al
lowed him by his father for pocket money
was small, ''but," he added, my father
has little idea what vast depths of iniquity
l can extract from half a crown"
