NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Seyeral states in
which the vote for President is remarkably
close cannot yet be claimed with absolute GER
tainty either for Mckinley or Bryan. This
debatahle list includes Tennessee and Wyom-
ing. The table printed below shows 277
electoral votes for the Republican nominee.
All these are absolutely certain, and are con-
ceded even by the Democrats with the ex-
cepton Of the three from Wyoming Any
change :hatmay be made in this total will
he to swell it from the returns Of the now
doubtful states. North Dakota was assured
to Mckinley yesterday.
Kansas is retained in the Democratic side
of the list, although the latest figures from
the state give the Republicans iairly good
ground for claiming it. Wyoming is certoin
to return one Republican elector, and there
seems little reason to doubt that he will be
joined by his two colleagues
The two parties apparently polled within
a few hundred votes of each other in Ken
lucky, and it was the general belief late
last night that the Blue Grass State would be
transferred from the doubtful to the Republi-
can column.
Tennessee seemed still more likely to join
the Mckinley procession, according to the
confident claims of the Republicans of that
State late last night.
South Dakota's figures are still incomplete
and doubtful Neither party claims its
electoral vote by more than few hundreds.
There is no change in the result as given
in these dispatches last night as the follow
ing table shows:

Says the Battle for Free silver Has But
just Commenced.


LINCOLN. Neb., Nov. 6.-'The fight has
jist commenced. Thus spoke William
j. Bryan last night when asked if he con
sidered the result of the election had been
a serious blow to the cause of bimetallism.
He had just sent message to Major Nc
Kinley conceding his election and tender
ing his congratulations.
Mr. Bryan surrendered at 20 o'clock.
He mad just received the signal, and re-
sFonded within the next ten minutes with
a telegram TO his successful rival, This
signal was a brief message from Senator
Jones' chairman Of the national Demo
cratic committee, informing him that he
did not consider it wise to longer withhold
the concession of McKinleys election.
This message was received by Mr.. Bryan
a few minutes after he had returned with
his wife from an evening stroll, and in the
presence of a dozen callers gathered in the
parlor and reading room Of their unpre-
tentiOus residence.
The receipt of the telegram created no
scene whatever, and one unacquainted
with the facts would have never suspected
from the surface indications the import
ance of the occasion, or that the chief
actor in the drama had more than a pass
ing interest in it. He handed the tele-
gram TO Mrs. Bryan, who was standing
near him, and without word, except to
explain the purport of the message, sat
down at his desk and penned the following
telegram:
senator Jones has just informed me
that the returns indicate your election.
and l hasten to extend my congratula-
tions. We have submitted the issue to the
American people, and their will is law
While writing the message and after it
was completed Mr. Bryan chatted pleas
antly with the newspaper correspondents
who surrounded him, indicating by his
manner that he felt relieved to have the
matter definitely determined, even though
the result was adverse TO him. He also
showed very plainly that senator Jones

ToNAwANDA, N. Y, Nov. 6.-At exactly
3:30o clock yesterday afternoon President
elect Mckinley touched an electric button
at Canton which lighted a fire in furnace
b at the works of the Tonawanda Iron
and Steel company. The lighting Of the
furnace means work for 4jO men. The
manner Of igniting the fires was unique.
Electric wires were strung around the
furnace, and at each of the seven openings
an incandescent lamp was placed with
portion of the glass removed. Powder was
poured around the films, and above this
waS suspended cotton waste saturated
with oil, which ignited ten cords Of wood
and several hundred tons of coke inside
the furnace. When the button was
touched at Canton it tcompleted an electric
circuit mt the furnace, the incandesccnt
lamp films ignited the powder, which in
turn ignited the cotton waste.

In a First street lodging house late
yesterday afternoon Officer Neighbors
arrested five tough looking youths, CIV
ing the names of Frank Hall, Charlie
Miller. Edward Wilson. w. j. Bralcy
and Thomas Quinlan. They are accused
by John Foley, employed at the Orphe
um theater cigar stand with assault
upon him.
Foley had met one of the fellows in a
casual manner and assisted him in lcck-
ing for work. In the afternoon he was
invited to 81 down to his room on First
street and meet a few friends. When he
got there he found the whole crowd
drinking alcohol and water His ac-
quaintance asked him to join them,
which he did. Later on the fellow took
Foley into another room and showed
him some jewelry which ne had pro-
cured somewhere and wanted him to
sell several rings for him. Foley refused
and claims that the young tough as
saulted him, being assisted by the rest
of the gang, who rushed to their pals
assistance. The row was stopped by
other parties in the house and the gang

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA IN THE
- EUTURE.

There is one feature in the advan-
tages which Southern California may
claim that promises well for time to
come. The tendency of people to crowd
into cities, so rife at present in this and
other lands. forebodes serious evils
Various causes may be mentioned 20
account for this general impulse. The
human race is social and gregarious.
All roads lead to the metropolis The
good and the bad there find congenlal
opportunities and associations. Yet city
life is. as a rule. neither the most help
full nor the most hopeful in securing the
hest development of mankind. The
country has to be always recruiting the
city. Now. our claim for Southern Cali
fornia is that through these broad and
fertile valleys the advantages of both
city and country may be had. In the
east and south where farms and planta-
tionS cover an hundred acres. and oftan
many fold that number inhabitants are
few. school districts small and i'll sup
piled, churches many miles apart, the
postofiice remote and many of the con-
veniences of life almost beyond reach.
1T is not strange that hundreds of such
farms have been abandoned and their
owners have fed into the towns and
cities. In what a contrast with all this
are the possibilities of this favored re-
gon. A ranch of ten acres well cared
for will give ample support to a large
family. More than sixty families can
thus pool their resources on every
square mile and bring schools and
churches and public libraries and other
social advantages within reasonable
reach of all. Then what a fine and in
teresting field is offered in these small
holdings for the skill and taste of the
rancher? Five or ten acres highly cul-
tivated are better to growing family
than gold mine, and a neat cottage,
deem amid flowers and frIIjtS Oppa
q home and castle, is better than tbs
lordliest mansion that rears it's walls
in the din and dust of some great
city

NO MORE The
CHRIS TMAS FLASK
Saloon : Keepers of the
Cocktail Route So
Determine.
A Fund in It's Stead Will Be
Made Up for the
Orphans.
Half of the Receipts Over the Bar
on Christmas Day Will Go Into
the Big Fund.

One of the most venerated laws of the
cocktail route" is to be stricken from the
unwritten statute books this year.
A new law is to be added to this same
book which shall do much more credit to
the Cocktail route" itself and all who
stray thereon.
The little holiday flask prepared in times
past by the proprletors of the saloons for
their customers, the habitues Of the route,
is to be discontinued. Instead fund of
one-half the receipts of Christmas day in
all these same saloons is to be made up
and donated to the orphan asyiums of
this City in equal shares.
This very proper movement has been
decided upon apparently by concurrent
resolution of the proprietors of all first
class saloons in the City, together with
their customers.
Since the year 1, or thereabouts. holiday
times have seen all popular saloon men
struggling to get up complete list of
their customers and to prepare some
specially bottled liquid JOY to send to each
of them.
The movement started among a select
circle of the gilded bars along Kearny
street. spead to Montgomery street, thence
into Market, and this year it bids fair to
become the rule throughout the City. The
new movement began in the same place
and has taken the same course.
The custom of preparing ana presenting
the Christmas bottle, springing from an
impulse on the part of the saloon keepers
to do the generous and hospitabie thing
was nevertheless fraught with no end OF
trouble to both donor and recipient. The
saloon man found it difficult to perfect
his list of customers; the extra nice bottle
was not easy to I'LL in the required numb Der
and the whole process was costly in both
time and money.
Then a certain number of the best cus-
toners were certain TO be overlooked. On
the other hand not all the customers who
were not overlooked were particularly
pleased at having souvenirs of this kind
coming to their homes from a number OF
The San Francisco call., 1896-11-18

places where they were not supposed to be
upon such familiar ana friendly footing.
Much trouble arose from this source. Be-
sides, if there ever is a time of year when
the follower of the cocktail route' is sur
feited with good things to drink, it is dur
ing the holiday season.
so the custom of nding out the Christ
mas bottle fell, year by year, into disiavor
until 1t degenerated into perfunctory
system of half-hearted advertising that no
one approves. This year it was finally de-
termined to do away with it.
The objection was raised by some of the
oon-keepers that they would be open to
the charge of selfishness or desire to
economic at a time of the year when their
purse-strings were expected to be loosened.
rms was met by the suggestion TO form a
fund for the benefit of the orphans. This
was given immediate approval.
The sum raised will no doubt be large
one. and will carry joy to those who have
little in their lives, instead of going to add
traction TO the pleasures of those whose
holiday times are always merry.
No one approves of the movement so
heartily as the regular habitue of the
cocktail route" himself, who will never
miss his little Christmas tottle.

low. Another charge is that the inspector
defrauded the Government by falsifying
his reports Of expenses for travelling.
Special Agent II. A. Moore detailed his
assistant. De Witt Jackson, 10 investigate
these charges. As result of careful in
ouiry into Foley's methods curious state
of affairs was developed. 1t is charged
that he ana one Gus Devine had entered
into a conspiracy to blackmail Chinese;
that Devine hunted for Illicit opium and
that Folev reported the cases to his su-
perior. He was usually detailed to make
the seizures and arrest, but in but few in
stances. it is alleged, was the drug turned
over to the Government. 1t was further
charged that he collected money on his
own account from the Chinese.
Special Agents Moore and Jackson de-
clined to discuss the case, but those who
have seen the report of the investigating
inspector state that there is plenty of evil
dence not only to warrant Foley's dismiss
sal but to cause him even more serious
trouble.
Collector Wise after suspending Foley
forwarded the report of the special agents
to the Secretary of the Treasury.
