1twould appear prubah that In fu-
ture war many of the wounds produced
by the new projectiIe Will be surgicaIly
less severe and prove amenable to ef-
fectise surgical treatment. Probably
also tho number Of severe injuries viii
be very great. when we consider the
enormous range of the new weapon and
the penetrating power Of the pEojectile,
which enables il TO traverse she bodies
Guiding bones, and to infict serious or
fatal wounds at a distance Of 3 900 on
1900 yards. 1t is impossible to say
what the proportion between these two
is likely to be. At near ranges the ex-
plosiye effects Will be much the same
as before, but at long range the narrow
bullet track, the small external wounds,
which often approach the subcutaneous
in character, and the moderate degree
of communion and assuring of the
bone will be surgically advantageous
These viii form the bulk of the gunshot
injuries Of the future, for itwould seem
impossi BILE with magazine quick firing
rifles TO maintain contest at close
quarters without speedy mutual annihi-
lation.
We may take it for granted that the
number of wounded in proportion to.
the numbers engaged and actually IN
der fire will be greater than before. The
supply Of ammunition will be larger,
the facility for its discharge greater and
smokeless powder will increase accura-
cy of aim.
think we are justified in believing,
although there is high authority for a
contrary opinion, that the next great
war will be more destructive to human
life, sbloodier, in fact, than any of
its predecessors, and that the number of
injuries, and in many cases the severity
Of the injury, will be largely increased.
But very many cases viii remain less
severe III character, more capable of sue
cessful treatment and less likely to en-
tail future diSablement. Nature.

MKINLEY WILL REST.

Canton. O., Nov. 5.-Maj. Mckinley, yielding to the pressure of friends and physician, has at last decided to absent himself from Canton for time and VIII, with Mrs. Mckinley leave for Cleveland within a few days. Mrs. Mckinley mas been suffering from a severe cola TOT more than a week and Is now convaies. cent. Her physician thinks change or air and scene will benefit her and tnat is one reason why Maj. Mckinley IS going to leave Canton so soon.
 Mai. Mckinley has done more work In the last six months than any one public man in the country or in the world. Hd has not only made 250 speeches since his nomination, but has greeted more than half a million people and talked with and shaken hands with half that many. In addition to this he has been in touch with political leaders throughout the country and has had to meet, consider and solve many of the difficult problems developed by the campaign. He has been compelled to live in the public view and for five months has scarcely had an hour between in the morning and 10 at night which ne could call his own.
 Mai. McKinley's health is excellent, but his friends, heedful of the great task which confronts him think he ought to have a season of rest and so he will spend a week or so quietly with Col. M. T. Her rick, who was on his staff, at the latters home in Cleveland He has made no en- agreements and expects to control his time absolutely. He is going away for rest

The United Associated Presses Give Mckinley 277 and Bryan ITO Votes in the Electoral College--Chair-
 Jones Comedies the Election and
 Washburn also Admits It.

Chicago, Nov 5.-Chairman Jones for mally conceded the defeat of William J. Bryan tonight and made his last presi- dential campaign statement to the pub lie. The free silver standard was really lowered last night so far as the election of 1896 is concerned, when advices were received at headquarters from West Vir- ginia conceding the electoral vote of that state to Mckinley, but 1t was decided not to make a public announcement of the fact until today. In the meantime Governor Stone arrived in Chicago from Missouri, in response to Senator Jones' telegram. The national committee chair man, the governor, and Campaign Chair man Campau, were in conference this evening in the senator's room and at its

NEW YORK.

New York, Nov. 5.-Complete returns on the vote of Governor by counties make the plurality for Black for Governor, 20S.- can, 7S0,509 Porter, Chicago democrat, 571 S30; Griffin, national democrat, 22,196 As was the case on the presidency Schoharie county only was carried by Porter. The complete vote for President in this city makes McKinley's plurality 19,795.
 New York, Nov. 1.-The returns re- ceived today do not altar the figures in the electoral table sent out last night by the United Associated Press, which gave Mckinley 277 votes and Bryan ITO. South Dakota and Wyoming, the former being credited to Mckinley, and the lat- ter to Bryan, are close. The latest re- turns from Kentucky place it confidently in the republican column. The vote in detail follows:
 For McKinley-California 9, Connecti- cut, 6, Delaware 3, Illinois "A, Indiana 15, Iowa 13, Kentucky 13, Maine 6, Maryland 8, Massachusetts 15, Michigan IA, Minne- sota 9, New Hampshire 4. New Jersey 10, New York 36, North Dakota 3, Ohio 23, Oregon 4, Pennsylvania 32, Rhode Island 4, South Dakota 4, Vermont 4, West Vir- ginia 6, Wisconsin 12. Total, 277.
 For Bryan-Alabama Il, Arkansas g., Colorado f. Florida 4, Georgia 13, Idaho 3, Kansas 10, Louisiana 8, Mississippi g, Mis- souri IT, Montana 8, Nebraska 8, North Carolina II, South Carolina g. Tennessee 12, Texas 15, Utah B. Virginia 12, Washing ton f. Wyoming Total, ITO.

ANoTHER ENLARGEMENT.

Havana, Nov 5.-Gen. Gonzales Monoz reports that his command has had an engagement with the rebels under Perico Relgade and Periao Dalz at Manellio, near Cabanas, province of Pinar del Rio. The rebels held strong positions in the hills, but were dislodged after several combats, in which Gen. Inclan assisted Gen. Monoz. The troops captured and burned the rebel camps. They also cap tured a quantity of arms and a number of cattle. The losses of the rebels are not given but are believed to have been heavy. The Spaniards lost two killed and a captain, lieutenant and twenty two privates wounded.
 Tn the case of Luis Someillan an Amer ican citizen who is charged with rebel lion. the attorney general today asked that he be sentenced to life Imprisonment in chains The representative of the American government will appeal against such sentence.
 It is rumored that Maceo was seriously wounded in his last engagement with the Spanish troops. but the rumor finds no credence among the Cubans here.

THE RESULT IN NEW YORK.

Is Very Gratifying to MT. Bryan-Cause
 for Rejoicing.
 Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 5.-Mr. Bryan today gave out the following interview on the situation in Nebraska:
 "The result in Nebraska Is very grat- flying. We have had great obstacles to overcome, and yet in spite of all these we have secured a majority of 10000 or 15,0O0 for our electorl ticket and have elected the entire state ticket, and also four, and probably five. members of con- gress out of the six, and have elected a good working majority in both branches of the legislature. The democrats, popu- lists and silver republicans have worked together in perfect harmony, and they share the victory together. The gold standard democrats, by colluslon Wltn republican officials, secured place on the democrats and deceived a few vot- 'ers but the attempted fraud was called to the attention of the voters and the evil effects reduced to a minimum. It Is safe to say that almost the entire Palmer vote was lost, because the gold democrats here as elsewhere, voted almost unanimously for the republicans.
 T am proud of Nebraska and grateful to friends in this state for their loyalty. No cause ever had more devoted support CTS than the silver cause had Tn Ne braska. Having control of the legislative machinery in this state, we should De able to reform our ballot law so as to prevent the frauds which have been per petrated under it, and we shall also be able to secure legislation which will pro- tect the voters from coercion and intim- idation.
