THE HOOsIER VOTE.
Republican Gain of Three to the Pre-
cinct Wins.

Republican Gain OF Three to the Pre-.
cinct Wins.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. November 2.-Un-
less all indications are wrong, the republic
cans will have an easy victory tomorrow.
From the best data obtainable they will
carry the state by a good plurality over the
combined democratic and populist vote,
and will have a. clear majority over all the
opposition.
This statement is based on the latest re-
ports from all the counties and allowing q
fair margin for over-ardent reports, the
republicans will carry fifty counties, with
an aggregate plurality Of $4,000, and the
democrats will carry forty-two counties,
with an aggregate plurality of Is. 100.
This is conservative estimate. as the
situation now stands. OF the counties given
to the democrats, the republicans believe
they will carry thirteen by small plurali-
ties. and If their reports are anywhere
near correct. they will. This would give
the republicans sixty-three out of the
ninety-two counties. and make a difference
in their favor of about 1000 votes.
The republicans will elect ten of the thir-
teen memebers of Congress and possibly
twelve. If the popullsts in the second dis
trict stand by their own candidate with
anything like unanimity, the republican
candidate will win. The district contains
more than 1900 populists. and if half of
that number vote for their own candidate
Hardy will be reelected In the fourth
district the race will be very close, with
chances slightly in favor of the democrats.
1t looks now as if the republicans would
succeed in getting control of the le.isa-
ture on joint ballot. The vote Of 1852 will
be used as a basis for calculating gains
and losses.
There are :i,126 precincts in the state. If
the republicans make a net gain OF three
to a precinct 1t will give them Il plurality
of 2,243
The loss to Bryan in the country pre-
cinct; from sound money democrats will
he greater than his gain from free silver
republicans, but the republicans will have
to overcome his gain from the populists.
The populistS vote of 1S.l2 in the counties,
exclusive of those containing cities of 10000
or more population, was 1880 a gain Of
tW enty in the city precincts will overcome
this, and the Cleveland plurality of four
years ago The city gains will be about
fifty to a precinct.

notice of this performance. One ball hit an
Italiarr vessel, which promptly slipped it's

British admiral understood that the Glas-

he sig1faled that she had better desist The

strike their flag, the Arabs had not the
least idea what this meant, and a crew of
bluejackets had to make it plain by hoist

Presently the Glasgow began to sink, and
as 1t was obviously indecorous for the
union Jack to sink with her. the British flag
had to be hauled down. Meanwhile, the

SCHOOL GARDENS.
Russian Institutions Have This In
terestiAS Feature.


A very Interesting feature of primary
education in Russia is the establishment
and rapid development of small farms
orchards and kitchen gardens in connec-
ton with many primary schools. especial
ly in the villages. The land for such model
gardens farms on a small scale was
mostly obtained through free grants from
the village communes ard. occasionally
from the neishboring landlords. while the
expenses are covered by very small money
grants from the country and district coun-
ellis (zemstvos). To take one province in
south RI ssia namely. Ekaterinoslav. we
see from the biennial report, just issued,
that not only has almost every school an
orchard and kitchen garden for the use
of the schoolmaster. but that nearly one
half of the schools in the province Ce27 out
of 800 are already in possession of small
model kitchen gardens, orchards tree plan
tations or farms. at which gardening.
sylviculture and sericulture regularly
taught. The teaching is mostly given !y
the schoolmasters. who themselves receive
instruction in these branches at courses
voluntarily attended in the summer or
occasionally by some practical specialist
of the neighborhood.
The prev vince of Ekaterinoslav being
mostly treeless. special attention is given
to tree plantations and next, to silkworm
culture. The aggregate area of the /. 1T
school farms gardens attainS ~, acres,

trees and 2Ss 800 planted forest trees, near
ly 1000 of the former and 42,WD of the
latter having been distributed free among
the pupils during the same year. The
money grants for these 227 gardens We're
very small i. e.. a little over three hun
dred pounds tf31D. Besides, over a thou

schoolmaster and partly by the children;
