EX-GOVERNOR CAMPBELL.
Sends His Congratulations to Presi-
dent-Elect Mckinley.

Canton, O., Nov. 12.-Among the
messages received by Major Mckinley
today, the most important was one
from Hon Joseph W. Babcock, chair
man of the national congressional COM
mittee, Washington, d. c., saying: Il
have the congressional campaign
wound up, bills all paid and a little bal
ance left in the hands Of the treasurer.

p%ublicans, two sound money democrats.
145 democrats and populists and six

tricts in doubt, one from Wyoming and
two from South Dakota"
Hon. James e. Campbell. ex-demo-
cratic governor OF Ohio, whom Major
Mckinley defeated in 1891, said: In

sent his most cordial congratulations

necessary. This will be in the form of
a treaty, the contracting parties being
Great Britain and Venezuela. This will
explain some ambiguity of terms that
has arisen as to the agreement and
treaty. Literally the United States and
Great Britain have made an agreement
by which the terms of an arbitration
treaty between Great Britain and Vene-
zuela are framed. Each instrument
will relate to the other and be a part of
a common understanding on the entire
subject. In this way Venezuela re-
tains her attitude as a contracting
party to the final treaty. But as the
treaty is shaped by the agreement the
United States is the instrumentality by
which the full results are accomplished
and the United States names two of the
judicia! arbitrators.

FlOTATlON OF SPlDERS.
An English Wr.i,r Discusses the suffice
and Gates some Instances.

In an n;,rc-iing communication to
knowledge ,n ~'Sridcrs," the Rev.
Samuel Barrier discusses ut some length
the phenomenon of tn" liCtalion line,
and its method of attachment, which is
the foundation of the spiders web. Is
it o evident, asks the reverend gentle
man, chat air-and probably at a high
tcmpcraturc-must be Enclosed within
the mCShps of the substance forming the
line when it passes from the spinncrets
into the atmosphere? The creature with
this substance lifts it into the air. 1t
has been usual to explain the ascent by
the kite m~inciplc-namcly, the me-
chanical force of the contiguous atmOs-
phcrc-but air movements, especially U
a small scale, are so capriciOus and un
COntrollablc that without IA directive
force the phenomena seem quite mex.
plicable.
In support of this theory of a direct
propelIing force Mr.. Barber gives some
of his own observations. Writing one
day with two sheets of quurto before
him, he saw a small spider on the pa
per, and in order to test its power OF
passing through the air he held one Of
the sheets Of paper about u foot from
that on which the creature vas run
ming. 1t assembled to the edge and van
ished, but in o moment it landed upon
the other sheet through midair in n hor-
izontal direction, and picked up the
/ thread as it advanced. In this case there
was no air movement to facilitate, MOI
any time to throw IL line upward, which
indeed would not have solved the diff.
Guilty. On another occasion, at a dinner
party in Kent, four candles were lighted
on the table, when u thread was seen tC
be strung from the tip of n of the
lighted candles and attached to another
about u yard off, and all the four lights
were connected in this way, and tina,
by q web drawn quite tight.
The only explanation which Mr.. Bar.
Der can suggest for this remarkable oc
currence is that the spinner was sus.
pended at first by u vertical line from
above and thus swayed itself to and fro
from tip to tip of the candles. 1t was
certain the spider could not have as.
cended from the table, and it was equal.
ly certain that aerial totation Of the
line from u fixed point was impossible,
ms i. involved floating in four opposite
directions. The rapidity with which the
initial movements in forming u web are
made cannot be reconciled with any
theory Of u simple atmospheric convec'
| ton, and propulsion appears the only
explanation.

THE C~ANNASSING BOARD.
Its Work Completed Except in Relation
Il Sanders and wyoming.

The canvassing board was in session
again nearly all day today, completing
the canvass of the vote with the keep
ton of Wyoming and Sanders pre-
cincts. Only n poll book was return
ed from the Wyoming precinct and at
the Sanders precinct no registration of
the votes was made.
If it should be decided eventually by
the board that legal votes were not cast
in these Two precincts and that decis-
ION is upheld by the courts, w. J. Hills
will be the prosecuting attorney of AL
bany county instead of NJ. C. Jahren.
These precincts gave Jahren "a ma
jority and he is IA ahead when they are
counted. but if they should be thrown
out he would be 10 votes behind.
No other changes are noted from the
figures already printed in The Repub-
lican except of minor Importance. The
official vote will be published as soon
as completed.
After a thorough discussion d the
points at issue the board finally de-
oided to adjourn till the 18th. subject.

General Butler originated the en-

marked a gentleman who has given
may years to the consideration of ac-
tive politics. During his campaign for
the presidency on the labor ticket he

He decided that this should not c0ntin-

Butter spoke to him of the neglect Of
the newspapers. DO as we do, replied
Bailey, and hire mel to take your stuff
to the papers W. call them press
agents, though you can call them any
thing else
THE idea was adopted Immediately
and Bailey was asked to spare one of
his press agents for II couple of months,
which he consented to do, and sent Ma.
jor Hugh Coylc, who resides in this city
during the off circus season, to report
to General Butler. Coylc was therefore
the first political press agent employed
as such. He took hold of the Butler
boom and played it for all it was worth,
and ran the campaign on regular circus
principles. He had Il man thlcn or four
days ahead of the general, whose duty
it was to organize Butler clubs in case
there was not any or where the club
was an insignificant affair.

.BLOODY SALOON ROW,
ONE OF THE SEQuEIS OF THE
GREAT STRIKE AT LEAD
VILE.
Austrian Miners are Taken for Scabs
and Assaulted by Union Men-One
in a Dying Condition-The Police
Capture Only the Ones Who Are
Crippled.

Leadville. Nov. 12.-As a result O
one Of the ]bloodiest saloon fights chi
csty has known. growing directly on
of the strike in progress here, the fol
lowing fatalities and injuries are re
ported:
stephen Frankowitz, fatally cut, doc
tors state he cannot live through tn,
day.
Jerry Dormandy. seriously hurt.
Unknown man, seriously hurt.
Joseph Austerman, badly cut.
John Jackson, badly cut.
The above men received thei.
wounds in a general stabbing row il
the Gold Belt saloon at 100 State stree
at an early hour this morning. From
10 to 20 men were engaged in it, ant
although it lasted but a few minutes, i
was bloody and desperate.
When the police arrived the saloor
was deserted. and of the men engaged
they have been able to arrest but four
he two principals having escaped.
Stories OF the trouble are conflicting
but as near as a be learned. it came
about in this way: A. party of Aus.
TRANS who were taking in the resorts
last night were followed from place tc
place by a small crowd of Miners unior
sympathiZers.
The Austrians were all union work,
mon. being employed at che of the
smclters. They had lead spots on theil
ciothes. and this was mistaken for can
die grease by the men who were follow,
ing them. When they got into the
Golh Belt the followers crowded after
hem and called them scabs. This wa:
resented by the Austrians. In an in,
slant the place was in an uproar.
The Austrians and the others were
armed with knives. and a general row
occurred. Spectators FASTENED aftel
the police. ~whereupon the participants
scattered. and Upon the arrival of the
officers only tine o seriously injured
remained. One of these Frankowitz
was Immediately taken to St. Luke's
hospital. where. at loon, he was report
Cd dying. He was cut in the right side,
he wound penetrating the lungs. He
was also cut on the hip, and altogether
presented a very sorry spectacle.
or the others.Jerry Dormandy is now
in Jail. He Is cut on the face. the art
cry CT his right wrist is severed and
several of his fingers are nearly cut off.
There are doubts as to his recovery. as
he lost considerable blood.
Joseph Austcrman was cut in the
stomach. on the lips. and also across
the throat. He was also arrested and
is in a bad condition. Bail for him was
secured, and he is being cared for by
his friends.
JChn Jackson was stabbed in the
back. He got away and has not been
located. The unknown man also got
away . He is said to have been the
~ringleader i'm the fight. and witnesses
state he. is also seriously cut. Where
he has gone is n mystery.
The fight is described as brief but
ferocious. 1t was an outbreak that has
not been unlocked for.
With reference to the trouble in the
local police force. the county commits
siCners are understood to be interest
ing themselves. They are holding a
