CONTEST FOR KENTUCKY
Democrats Are After Six Electors-Notice,
Arc Filed.

Democrats Are After Six E1ectOrs-NOticeg
Are Filed.
FRANKFORT, KY, Nov. ~ The
Democrats have filed notice that they
will contest for six presidential electors
before the state returning board on
the ground that many voters scratched
their ballot and stamped opposite
the first name, Smith, on the Demo-
cratic ticket and opposite six or seven
names below, but that the votes have
been counted only for Smith, whose
election is conceded. Supplemental
charges Of fraud in mountain counties
that went heavily for Mckinley arc
also made.
Blackburn Democrats have notified
the seven Republicans, who were sue
cessful in the special elections, that
their seats in the general assembly
will be contested. Contests affecting
nearly every member are said to be
contemplated to delay the senatorial
election another year and perhaps re-
turn Blackburn, but this is chiefly
talk. Hunter is said to be making
friendly o%vertures to Bradley.
A Democratic primary has been
called for December 90 here, gold Dem
ocrats to be allowed to participate on
of promising to support the
primary nominees.

HARRISON'S WELL. WISHES.
Ex-Presidcnt Warmly Congratulates
MIR. McKinlcy,

Inc fx-ffesldcnt warmly COnEratulateS
MIR. Mckinley.
CANTON, Ohio, Nov. 12.-Among the
congratulations received by MIR. Nc
k1nley yesterday was the following
letter from ex-President Harrison:
1.-The use of the mails instead of the
wires as the carrier of my congratula-
tons does not imply hat they are less,
bnt rather that they are more thought
fu! and deliberate. 1t is a great honor,
indeed, when a personal success is iden-
titled with a great national triumph.
The issues forced to the front by the
Chicago platform put the fight on such
lines that the Republican party could
use the old b~reastworks, and make an
unfailing appeal to the patriotism Of
the south as well as the North.
Il sincerely hope that you may be
given the wisdom and strength needed
in this emergency to restore and cs.
tabllsh the prosperity Of the nation"

EXTRA SESSION.

Remedial Legislation by Congress.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Ex-senator Sher-
man said last night that an extra ses-
sion Of the Fifty-ifth Congress would
be convened by President Mckinley
soon after Inauguration and that the
revenue question would be taken up
and legislation passed to provide for
the needs of the government and give
reasonable protection to American in
dustry. The Senator was of the
opinion that there would be a general
revision of the tariff law and that the
ad valorem principle of the Wilson law
would surely be abolished.

SUNDAY mORNING's FIRE.
Total Destruction Of " II. Cornwen's
Residence.

Total Destruction Of " II. COrnweIl's
Residence.
At $3.50 yesterday morning the
residence Of w. IL. Cornwell on
the corner of Piikoi and King
streets was burned to the ground,
the alarm being turned in too late
for the department to be of much
service, although the engines made
quick time in getting to the scene.
The fire was first noticed by C..
b. Wilson, but he had to dress
and 90 to neighbours before he
could telephone the alarm and
consequently much valuable time
was lost. When the fremen ar
rived the whole building WIS
ablaze and very little of it could
be saved.
The building has been unoccu-
pied by several months, but ex-
tensive additions and repairs were
in progress. The workmen en-
ployed thereon left the building
at o'clock on Saturday afternoon
and at 5 o'clock the Japanese
caretaker locked it up. AS far as
is known there was no one on the
premises afterwards, and the
origin of the fire is mystery.
The building was insured for
$4,000 in the Manchester Fire In
surance Company Of which L. w
Macfarlane is agent
The house was to have been
occupied by John s. Walker. Mr.
Cornwell will rebuild at once.

WASLAST HEARD FROM HERE
Detectives Working On a Canadian
Woman's Disappearance.
Alice Martineau Wrote Home Christ
mas That She Was Ill and Now
Cannot BE Located.

The fateof Alice Martineau is one OF the
problems presented to the detective office
last night and Detectives Horn and Weldon
were intrusted with its solution.
Alice Martincau was last heard from
in December. 1895. Her parents and
brother live at Plcuna, Ontario, and on
Christmas morning they received letter
from their absent daughter.
IT was poStmarHed wv aShington.' In
il Alice stated that she was Ill. ana though
her physician did not fear that her malady
would terminate Fatally. yet her rest alton
TO health would be long delayed. The in
troductory line OF uis letter was. My
dear father and mother" This was written
with ink, in a slow and painful hand, as
though each stroke OF the pen caused the
invalid panG.
few succeeding lines We're written
with pencil. as though the effort to use a
pen had caused the sufferer too great an
effort. Then the remainder of the letter
was written in the hand OF a stranger, ill.,
diCating that the sick woman had given
up the task Of writing and had dictated her
missive. At the conclusion of the letter
the invalid had written these words:
Your loving daughter, Alice" A little
flower was enclosed.
This was The last information concerning
the daughter which the old people III
Canada received. Yesterday, watson A.
King, the brother, reached Washington.
Late in the day he consulted Inspector HOl-
linbrrger and Detectives Horn and WeedOn
were detailed. The trio went To the Ma
tional Hotel and the register showed that
| Mr. and Mrs. Martineau had entered there
| December / 2, and had occupied Room No.
| $50 The people at the hotel recalled the
| couple.
Yes, the woman was i'll here for one
| month and left the hotel on the Gath of
| January She was removed to some hos
| pital."
This was about the sum Of working in
| formation which the brother and detectives
! gained there. They interviewed the maid
| who did the chamber work in No. 235, and
| she spoke affectionately Ofthe woman who
| had been i'll there. She told OF the constant
attention given the patient by the husband.
| and of the manytime the sick woman would
| speak of her home and its people.
| Then the detectives made a tour of the
hospitals. but no trace could be found. The
people at Providence, Columbia and all the
other probable hospitals were positive thai
no patient answering the decripuon given
| had been received.
Here the matter stands. The men OF Tho
| Central B ureau will work bard to locate
the missing woman. II she is in Washing
ton they will find her.
The brother went to the National las
| night. registered and was assigned to ;
ROOM BY some curious fiat OF fate thu

he had not seen before. room No. 235. TIT

administrator had lot received facts which
justified the 7 resident aud his advisers in
recognizing state of bellgercncv in Cuba.
That belligerent rights had not been
granted to the Cubans, was, in his opinion,
ample proof that the President had no ground
upon which to act. while other peoples
business had taken possession OF this House,
not only collectively, but Individually.
Mr.. BOutelle closed his speech by quoting
from the documents and writings of Gen.
Grant, Secretary Hamilton Fisk. and Gen.
Washington to osuStain bis content ion that to
grant belligcrent rights TO the Cuban in =
surgents, or to interfere with Spain to
secure the independence Of the island at this
time would be unwise ana an unfounded
action. Mr.. Boutele spoke nearly an hour
and q half, and held the attention of the
House throughout, and was generously ap-
pla uded at the close.
Mr.. Skinner. Pop, N. c., was the last
spea ker ofthe afternoon, ,eiOquently pleading
for bringing Cuba under the Stars ant
Stripes.
At $40 O'Clock the House took recess
