THE ALABAMA CONTEST.
Democrats Garry the State by an
Increased Majority,
JOHNSTON UNDOUBTEDLY ELECTED

The Democratic Candidate for Governor
Says His Majority Is Fully 10000, and
May be Increased to $4,000, with Two
thirds of the Legislature AN@ocratio.
MONTGOMERY, Aug 4-The size of the
Democratic majority seems to be about
all that remains in regard Of yesterdays
state election. Because of the slow pro-
cess of counting the votes on the new bal
lot law returns are necessarily slow in
coming in, but there is no doubt of a COM
plete Democratic victory. Incomplete re-
turns from about half the counties so far
received indicate Democratic gains in all
but Mobile and Macon. In the former the
Democrats appear to nave lost 500 votes by
stay-at-homes, but the county is still in
the Democratic column by 500 majority.
Ill Macon county, which gave Oates a
majority of 800 in 1894, the result is doubt
full. The Democrats, on the other hand,
have carried Tuscaloosa county by 1000
majority. 1t gave Kolb 200 majority two
years ago. Marshall county, which went
for Kolb by 600, is close and probably
Democratic. Lee county, which had a
Populist majority of 500, is like Marshall.
Chambers county, with 400 majority for
Kolb in '94, is in the Democratic column.
Talapoosa, with 600 majority for Kolb at
the last election, is close and may be Dem
ocratic. Fayette, another Populist county,
Is in the doubtful column, as are also
Coosa and Dekalb.
In the counties which Governor Oates
carried two years ago there have been in
creased Democratic majorities in all so far
heard from except two. In the 'black
hpltl pyppu ppnntu will roll nm ite rrc1Ia1
large Democratic majority, ranging from
5000 to 5000 each. jefferson, which gave
Oates less than a hundred majority, will
give Johnston probably 500 majority.
Green county increases its Democratic
majority. The same is true in nearly
every north Alabama county, In this
section, where the Populists are stronger
than elsewhere in the state, that party lost
heavily. The negroes in north Alabama
generally voted for Goodwin, the Populist-
Republican nomineef for governor, but the
number of POpulists who voted for Johns
ton was larger than the negro vote cast
for Goodwin.
Captain Johnston said this morning that
he stands to his original figures of 10000
as the lowest estimate of his majority.
From reports which he has received he
feels like increasing these figures to $4,000,
with two-thirds of the legislature Demo-
cratic,
State Democratic Chairman j. B. Knox
said: "Johnston's majority is probably
larger than that of Governor Oates two
years ago, which was $1,000. l think we
have the legislature by an increased ma
jority."
At Populist state headquarters the
chairman was not on hand, being absent

Preshvterian Pastors.

Professor George D. Buck of the San
Anselmo Seminary read paper before the
Presbyterian Ministerial Union yesterday
on "Eioquence in the Pulpit" He praised
the appropriate gestures used by actors,
and said there was no reason why the
same eloquence should not be used in the
pulpit. Professor Buck advised his hear
ers to eschew fearful, trembling voices,
and to cultivate plastic muscles ana
natural emotional expression.
In the discussion number of interest
ing comments were passed on pulpit ora
tory. Rev. DR.. Burnett objected to hear
ing pastors soar on ministerial wings. He
said it was not natural.
DR.. Minton criticized exaggerated ex-
preston, and gave some amusing illustra-
lions.
At the conclusion of the meeting the
following resolutions were adopted, and
Rev. r. w. Reynolds, Rev. E. G. Mathena,
DID,, and Rev. James Woodwork were
appointed committee to carry them into
effect:
ReSoEUed, That we request the Mayor and
Chief of PoIice of this City to strictly enforce
the law closing all saloons on election day.
Also, that we request the daily and weekly
Iapers to agitate this matter, that public senti-
menr may be aroused, thus aiding our public
officials i'll the discharge of their duty in the
case.

Official.

The Occidental Board of Foreign Mis-
sions Yesterday rendered reception in
the parlors of the Mission House on Sac
ramento street, to Rev. Thomas Marshal,
DID,, field secretary of the Board of For
eign Missions.
DR.. Marshals headquarters are in Chi
cago. Tomorrow he leaves for Los An
geles.
The reverend gentleman met the repre-
sentatives of fifteen of the City churches,
and after a brief conversation with each,
gave what he designated "a rambling
talk on "Women in Foreign Countries" !"
He is an entertaining speaker, gifted with
the power of graphically describing what
he has seen, and his narration and deliv-
cry is such that, as gentleman who heard
him said, 'If there were more speakers
like him in the church there would be
fewer sleepers in the congregations.
He told of the womensof Japan, Korea,
China, Siam and India, and how the lack
of Christianity brought them down to the
lowest depths of degradation. Then he
spoke of the revolution that Christianity
had wrought and how 1t has uplitted
women in the social scale wherever 1t has
had an opportunity 10 make itself manifest.
The women of Japan, he said, stand the
highest, as a class, in the Asiatic countries
and the evidence that their advancement
is due to Christian teaching is to be seen
in their homes and in the station they oc-
cupy, from social point OF view, IN their
Eden-like country.
The condition of the women in China
and the other countries, as DR.. Marshal
observed it in tour of many months
showed that for lack of Christian teach
ing these women are the most degraded of
all creatures, but that where the women
of the missions had devoted their ener-
gies to uplifting their sisters a marked i'm
provement has resulted. He told of the
schools and churches and of the work
they are engaged in and expressed the
hope that its field may be expanded.
The speaker was loudly applauded and
then congratulated upon his very instruc-
tive talk

ments in Progress.
There will be a large meeting in the
Chamber of Commerce to-day. the object
OF which will be to promote California
exhibit of the best class at the Guatemala
exposition, which will be held next year.
The Board of Trade has taken hold of the
matter in earnest, and will assist the
Chamber of Commerce as much as pos
81 BILE. ]. A. Filcher has been among the
merchants, and from all accounts they
will respond to the call literally and as
sist In making fine display.
The managers of the exposition at Qua
temaia are backed by the Government, and
are liberal i'll their offers of diplomas and
cash premiums for exhibits of merit.
There will be ninety-two cash premiums,
varying from 500 10 $4,000. II has been
arranged that impor tations of such useful
articles Us exhibited may be carried on for
one year free of duty, which is the first
time that such an offer has ever been
made by the Government.
Mr.. Fiicher has sent out letters to all of
the members of the Board of Trade, ask.
ing them ii they are in favor of assistln e
in the exposition, and so far not a mega
tive answer has been received. In his let
ter Mr.. Filcher says:
The Mechanics Institute Fair recently held
In this City presented splendid exhibit of the
manufacturing industries of the State. If that
exhibit ould be made ct Guatemala it would
be highly creditable to California, and it is in
the line OF wares in which Guatemalans
deal, There is more practical value in having
California strongly represented at Guatemala
than in any other fair now proposed, because
that country is now part of the supporting
territory of the commerce OF this City and the
people there are extensive patrons OF the man
ufactures of California. Under these circum-
stances the Guatemalan Exposition affords
the opportunity for building up this common
wealth and stimulating this trade, and 1t ap-
pears TO be appropriate that the State Board
of Trade should take this up distinctive
San Francisco interest, because, as already
stated. the chief support OF the board has been
derived from San francisco.
To this end it has been proposed that we ap-
peal to the State Legislature and to the Con-
gress OF the United States to make appropria-
lions for the purpose of making an exhibit at
the International Exposition to be held at
Guatemala. The National exhibit would
necessarily be general and represent the whole
Nation. We should emphasize the California
part of it by a small appropriation from the
treasury of the State Oh California.
