diate circle of his family 1t was announced
that he was to leave for New York by one
of tho North German liners on Saturday
last.
While the fact cannot, for obvious rea-
sons, be definitely learned, it is generally

as an agent of tho Unitod States, with the
view of making some arrangement by
which peaceable solution of the Cuban
question might be brought about.
1t will be remembered that on return

was to sound the Spanish government
and, in conjunction with Minister Taylor,
to endeavor to procure friendly settle

WILMINGTON, Del, Nov. 9.-Although
the Republicans carried Delaware by a
largo majority, one of the three Demo-
cratic nominees for electors was elected,
and unless the courts can act in the mat
ter the electoral vote Of the state will be
cast as two for Mckinley and Hobart and
one for Bryan and Sewall. On the regu-
lar Republican ticket the name of one Of
the electors appeared as James g. Shaw,
while on tho ticket of the Union Republ'-
can party it was printed James 6. Shaw,
Sr. The latter is more nearly correct, as
Mr. Shaw has q son the same name as
himself. In counting tho ballots the
SHAW and Shaw Sr.' tickets in most
cases were canvassed separately, and by
