THE ARKANSAS ELECTION.
Democratic Majority the Largest In the
History Of the state.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Sept l0.-The
Democracy of Arkansas Monday
achieved the greatest victory in the
history of the state Never before
was such an overwhelming majority
given any gubernatorial candidate as
that which was given General Dan w.
Jones, and never was such n large
vote polled in the state. Based on the
gains reported thus far the estimation
is that Jones, Democrat, is elected
governor by nearly $1,000 majority
over his three opponents. The figures
are: Jones. l2j.O0o; Remmel. Repub-
licau, IS, coo; Files, Popuiist, 5000;
Milicr, Prohibition, 1000. The great
est surprise is the light Populist vote.
especially in view of the fact that the
vote of the state shows IN Increase of
) per cent over two years ago.

Many Ancient Monarchs Entombed il

Dir. Max o. Richter, who has spent
thirteen years in archaeological explora-
tion in Cyprus, recently gave before
the Royal Institute OF British Archi-
tects an interesting account of his i'm
portant discovery of royal tombs at
Tamassos, and a summary of the evil
dence on which is based MS theory
that the Graero-P hoenician architec-
turc founG in Cyprus supplied 10 tiit
Hellenes the materials for the rorma-
zion of the Ionic Greek yolute DR.
Richter has established satisfactorily
that the tombs, as we'll as many other
Cypriote antiquities belong o The end
of the seventh or beginning of the sixth
century before Christ. He had also
shown conelusiyely that the stone
architectural ornamcntation was in
tended to represent earlier wood con-
strnetion and that many OF the forms
are still found In the woodwork and
architecture of houses in Cypriote viii
lagos His argument for the deriya-
tion Of Ionic forms from Graeco-
Phoenician sources, however starting
from premises that are the subject Of
hot dispute among psychologists, pre-
sents theory still in the form OF
hypothesis, which his array Of facts
and ingenius groupings of pictures cor
tainly render plausible
Dr. Richter, like many others, thinks
that the origin of the Ionic capital Is to
be found In the form of the Egyptian
lotus, He believes. too, that Cyprus
was not only meeting place for Greek,
Phoenician and Egyptian art, as is
generally admitted, but that the period
of Cypriote art is earlier than that OF
archaic Greek art, and that, conse-
quently, il was from Cyprus that the
characteristic archaic Ionic forms were
obtained by the Greeks Of Asia Minor
and Hellas, instead of the converse.
which Is the common opinion. The
forms were not original to Cyprus.
however. their elements came either
from Egypt or Mesopotamia, Dr.
Richter does not undertake TO decide
this question. Though his own opinion
is that Egypt is the main source. as
when we can trace definite Phoenician
influence in art II is on the side ofugli-
ness rather han beauty
The proofs offered in support Of his
theory by Df. Richter are too technical
to be Judged by any but experts, espe-
cially when unaccGmpanied by his IL
lustrations But the fundamental
Graeco- Phenician model, which accord
ing to his demonstration gave rise to
the Ionic volute. may be seen in New
