the opinion of competent judges that,

CHARLEsTowN, W. Va, Nov. s.
The contest will be very close in this
State according to present indications.
The State is claimed by both republi-
cans and democrats by about the same
plurality-10,000 to $4,000. Both claim

VIcKsBURG, Miss, Nov. 3.-Under

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. "a big vote
is being rapidly polled in most of the
precincts. The indications are that
nearly all of the registered vote will be
polled. The republicans are more con-
ident than ever that Mckinley will
carry Michigan, while the chairman of
the democratic committee still clings to
the belief that Bryan will carry the

BALTIMORE, Nov. Sit is expected
that the full voting strength of both
the leading parties will be registered in
both city and State. By 10 o'clock it
was estimated that nearly half of those
entitled to vote had cast their ballots.
Each side is claiming victory. The
democrats say that their majority in
the State will be 10000. The republi-
cans as earnestly assert that theirs will
be $4,000. Conservative estimates,
however, give the State to Mckinley
by from 5000 to 5000. The republic
cans will also probably secure four of
the six congressman.

There are wild cattle in that country

palms long. They are partly black,
partly white, and really wonderfully
fine creatures, and the hair or wool is
extremely fine and white. finer and
whittier than silk. Messer Marco brought
some to Venice as great curiosity, and
so it was reckoned by those who saw
it. There are also plenty of them tame,
which have been caught young. These
the people use commonly for burden
and general work, and in the plow as
well; and at the latter they will do full
twics as much work as any other cattle,
being such very strong Beasts. !;
In this country, too, is found the best
musk il, the world: and I will tell you
bow it is produced. : There exists in
that region kind of wild animal like
a gezelle. It has feet and tail like tbs
gaselle's, and stays hair OF q very
coarse kind, but no horns. It has four
tusa1s, tvvo below, and two above, about

which they cut out and remove with all

inside this imposthune is the musk that
produces that powerful perfume. Thers
