ST. LOUIS SENSATION.

element Prevails.

ANN element Prevails.
st. Louis, Nov. 3.-The Post Dis
patch, in a late issue, says As we go
to press, Gov. Stone is closeted at the
Planter house with Chairman Cook,
Maj. Salmon and Judges Harvey and
Edmunds.
Chairman Cook has been out at q
number of precincts with Judge Harvey
and Chief of Detectives Desmond. Mr..
Cook admits that sensational dis
,eovery has been made, and that an ex.
plosion is imminent.
The rumor in the hotel Hobbies is that
the election commissioners will be i'm.
mediately suspended by Gov. Stone.
Neither the Governor nor Chairman
Cook could be seen. 1t was said by an
attache Of the headquarters that fragrant
corruption had been discovered in -four
Of five wards, which will probably re.
suit in the throwing out of the entire
vote of these wards. Intense excite
ment prevails about the hotel. With
the closing of the polls the saloons
opened, and thousands of enthusiasts
are fast becoming drunk.
Gov. Stone was seen after the confer.
ence in the democratic state headquar.
ters. He denied that he had suspended
the election commissioners for st. Louis
but refused to say whether he intended
to do so. He would not say how much
evidence he had that fraud had beer
perpetrated.

MONARCHY
Advocated by Man in the Employ of Mark
Hanna.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 4.-The Chicago
Times Herald, the personal organ of
Mckinley, prints the following on its
editorial page today;
"After all, is universal suffrage an
unqualified success and a fnaIity in
republican government? When nearly
all the voting population indorses the
inhumanity of slavery in one genera
ton, and in the next a large minority
run wild after a fantastic scheme to
cheat their neighbor and reduce their
neighbors and reduce their own wages
by debasing the money of the country,
what shall we conclude as to the safety
atall times of government by MAORI
ty of all the voters ?"
This sevreed is signed by E. V.
Smalley, editor of campaign literature
at republican headquarters. What he
sends to the press has the official sane
ton of his employer, Mark Hanna.

!. ENGLAND'S PAUPERS.
Misery and Want Revealed by
Government Statistics
Great Anxiety OCcaaIOned In London by
tho Gre,t Increase and Continued
Growth of PaupcrlSm-ATe Ter
rible Showing

The remarkable fact that through
out the whole OF England and Wales
there were at the end of last year
twenty-four paupers existing on gov
eminent charity In every thousand of
the population, Is contained In great
mass of statistics on pauperism re-
Gently issued by the poor relief depart
ment of the British government. The
exact percentage was S4.5 paupers per
1000 of population. There was great
increase Of pauperism during the year,
many thousands Of people, owing to
the general business depression, being
driven to ask for relief for the first
time In their lives, and the officially
recorded proportion Of pauperism
reached the highest point in many
years. The proportion was smallest In
1891, when it was 1919 to the 1000 popu-
lation. This is a remarkable fact In
itself, rs indicating the normal amount
of extreme pauperism In England, for
the record is only of paupers applying
for government relief.
II Is curious fact, says the New
York Sun, that the proportion Of
paupers to population is smaller In
London than throughout the rest Of
England and Wales. But there has
been a great increase and continued
growth Of pauperism in the metropolis
In recent years which Is causing q
great deal of anxiety. In the second
week Of last December there were 1867
$40 paupers in London, which was
equivalent to 24.o per 1000 of the whole
population. This was s,0so more pau
pers than were receiving relief in the
city in the corresponding week of the
previous year, and a greater number
than In any year since 1879.
The proportion of pauperism In Lon
don was the highest In the years 1867
and 1859, when 1t reached 47.s and 4s.1
respectively to the 1000 of population.
But these were years of exceptional
depression, and the astounding figures
have never been reached in any other
year since the Inauguration of the
present system of statistics The low
est point was reached In 1891, when the
proportion of paupers was 29.4per 1000
Of population. Since that year there
has been steady growth Of pauper-
ism in the metropolis, and at such a
rate and with such coincident circum-
stances as to be the cause Of much
anxiety to the authorities and a mat
ter Of great public concern.
But these figures are of the p0uper-
ism only that comes to official notice,
and the record takes no account Of the
vast amount of poverty that Is relieved
by private charity and through other
than government sources. To "go on
the parish" is the last and much
dreaded resort Of the honest poor, only
to be availed Of In direst extremity,
and the coroners' records show that
many unfortunates have died Of actual
starvation rather than thus apply for
/ public charity. More than dozen OF
such sad cases are noted on the official
returns of inquests held In London
alone during last year. So that the
startling showing Of twenty-four pau.
pers in every thousand inhabitants Is
/ only part Of the picture Of poverty in

N. Hanotaux's Statement Regarding Europe

Paris, Nov. 3.--In the chamber of
deputies today the minister of foreign
affairs, M. Hanotaux, made an impor-
tant statement regarding Armenia, in
the course of which he said:
1.-THE powers have done their duty
and perfect accord has been established
between the powers, who recognized
that isolated action must be averted,
and that common action would not af-
feet the integrity of Turkey. During
the Cars visit precise exchange of
views occurred on the points before
parliament. United Europe will be able
TO show the Sultan that he must tgive
his subjects security and peace.
"United Europe will make the Sultan
understand that not only the Armeni-
ans but the Catholics and the Mussul-
mans are suffering from(the same evils,
and need the same ameliorations, and
will show him that the source of those
evils Is bad internal administration.
It will indicate the means TO establish
order everywhere, without switch the
country can not continue to- exist. It
will demand the execution OF his prom
ises and the Endorsement and extension
Of the reforms already granted viii.
put an end to violent repressiens will
open the prisons, and will also bring
home to him that the powers hold him
responsible for the safety of EuropeansI
After several criticisms. on the part of
M. Juarez, the socialist deputy, the
order Of the day was adopted by vote
Of 4OS TO 80, thus approving Of the gov
efnment's statement.
In the senate today, during o discus
sion of the Madagascar question, the
minister of the colonies, M. LIE Bon,
said that the government hopedvthat
the island before long would be organ
lied as province. and with some kind
of autonomy. BE added that instruc-
tions had been given to Gen. Gallieni,
prescribing vigorous action for the sup
preston Of the Hova Hegemony; but
he had been recommended to avoid
wholesale dragooning, while at the
same time he was authorized to act and
: treat as he thought fit, persons who
are open TO suspicion.
The minister for the colonies further
stated that bill providing for loan
TO convert the Madagascar debtwould
shortly be presented, In spite Of the
distress, he explained, the deficit for
the year would not exceed 1900, 600
francs, which would be covered by the
conversion.
Continuing, the minister for the col
onies stated that the French resident
general in Madagascar, M. La Roche.
had not granted any concessions for
public works TO foreigners; and he, M.
LIE Bon, did not favor concessions
either to foreigners or to the represent
atives of foreign company.
Later M. lie Bon stated that he dep
recated pessimistic views regarding the
future Of Madagascar, as he was per-
fectly convinced that the rebellion
would soon be suppressed and that
Madagascar would become one Of the
most promising and prosperous Of the
colonies Of France.
The order Of the day was thereupon
accepted by the government, and was
then adopted by the senate,

Three cases of smallpox have de-

in the matter is the fact that one of
the first patients was physician. When
physicians no matter what kind, keep
themselves in a condition capable of
taking smallpox, there may be valid
excuses for other people. But it must
be remembered that physicians may be
ignorant, prejudiced, cranky and even
insane.
The fourth annual Sanitary Conven-
tion will be held at Los Angeles on
April 10th, under the auspices of the
