WILL ABANDON CYPRUS.

Special Wire To Sunday Light.
London, Nov. THE Daily Graphic
claims to have authority confirming
a statement published Wednesday in
the Truth that the government has de-
cided to abandon the island of Cyprus,
which was given up to Great Britain
for administration by the Anglo-Turk-
ish convention Of 1878. The Graphic
adds that the evacuation of the island
is recognized as a necessary corollary
to the abandonment of the Anglo-Tur-
kish convention.
The decision of the government was
fastened by Russia's view that the
convention implied distrust of the
Russian policy, and that the detention
Of Cyprus nullified the contention that
the convention had ceased to exist.
Officials at the colonial office declare
they are ignorant of any intention on
the part of the government to evacu-
ate the island. The article in Truth
asserted that Cyprus would be made
Independent. but this is not confirm

BOB TAYLOR ELECTED.
Tennessee's Jolly Governor Receives
A Majority Of The Ballots.

A Majority OF The Ballots.
Special Wire To Sunday Light.
Cincinnati, o., Nov. IA special to
the Post from Nashville, Tenn, says
this morning, Robert f. Taylor, Dem
ocrat, has been elected governor of
Tennessee. This statement is based
upon authentic information received
from every county in the state and,
while not official in all instances, is
so in many.
In those countise from which official
results have not been received, re-
ports have been verified, fromsources
which cannot be doubted. The fig
ures of the State Democratic commit
tee give Gov. Taylors plurality at s.
63S. Official returns, they assert,
will not vary this materially, and they
confidently believe that the plurality
will go from 1900 to 10000. The
Democratic electoral ticket runs con-
siderably ahead of the Taylor ticket.
Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 7.-Accurate
ngures on the presidential election are
not yet Obtainable, because of incom-
plete returns from the mountain coun-
ties. 1t seems certain that Taylor is
elected governor by at least 5000 plu-
rality and that Bryan's plurality will
be double that number.
Memphis, Tenn, Nov. 7.-Democrats
refuse to admit Republican gains and
their claims Of carrying the state and
still say Bryan has carried Tennessee
by at least $4,000 and that eight of
the ten congressman are Democratic.
Taylor, Democrat, for governor is be-
lieved to have been elected.

st. Petersburg, Nov. An extraor-

profit out of the agitation on behalf
of the Armenians is reported from
Titlis. For some time past a number
OF mysterious murders have been per-
petrated in the town, the victims be-
ing generally merchants. Many
wealthy Armenians also have receiY-
ed anonymous letters threatening
them with death unless they parted
with large sums of money. At the

have been going about the town col
lecting what they described as sub

among the necessitous Armenians in
Turkey, and in order to prove their
statements presenting forged certifi-
Gates purporting to emanate from the
Armenian revolutionary committee in
London. The Russian police, howev-
er, have now discovered that the au-
thors of these murders and the bear
ers of false certificates belong to a
band of thives having absolutely no
political character, and acting simply
for the purpose of robbery. The chief

KENTUCKY SAFE.
M'KINLEY ELECTORS RECEIVE A
HEAVY VOTE.
First Time in the History of the State
That a Republican Presidential Can
didate Has Her Choice.

Louisville, KY Nov. mckinley
has certainly got twelve of Ken
tucky's thirteen electoral votes. The
official count of the county canvassing
boards was completed this afternoon
but returns are slow coming in. At
five o'clock a bulletin was issued from
Republican headquarters, to-wit:
Kentucky has gone Republican for
the first time in its history in a pres
idential year." Official count shows
that in almost every county, Kast,
the first Republican, and Smith. the
first Democrat electors, lead their
tickets by from fifty to one hundred
votes and this insures Bryan one cleo
tor. The Democrats went to the 18th
district with 1892 in their favor and
the eleventh district gave Mckinley
14,27S giving him Il net plurality of
456.
Mckinley is 34j in the lead I'D to
this time with the official count not
completed. Beside changes to be
made by the official count these figures
may be vitality affected by trouble in
Campbell county, where two precincts
have already been thrown out for ir-
Irregularities and four others, which
gave Mckinley large majority, may
be thrown out because the election
officers burned the poll books after
making out the returns. The official
count of jefferson county has increas-
ed McKinley's plurality in the fifth
district to 21,311. The Eleventh dis
trict now shows a plurality of A.
2S6 for Mckinley. d,

county, where Breckenridge received

Breckenridge has sent two attorneys
to Owen to witness the official count.
Lexington, KY, Nov. THE chan
ces are that there will be a contest
over the congressional election in this,
the Seventh district, where Col. Brock
enridge was defeated. Many lawyers
are of the opinion that the holding
of primary for county officers to be
elected q year hence in Owen, on the
same day that the general election was
held, Tuesday, clearly invalidates the
vote of Owen county, and it may be
asked that the county's vote be
thrown out. This win be I'm Breck-
enridge's favor.

SHORT STOPS.
What The People Are Saying.

Nnat Inc People Are Saying.
By the Grace of the Great Manitou
and with the aid of theIndian vote
it's Thad and Joe and the Big Six
over again. However the election is
over and the big snow storm up north
has brought us some cold weather.
This again brings to our mind
whether the shapeless pile of red
sandstone with its incongurous mass
of architectural forms, which is situa-
ted on the southeast corner of Main
plaza, and known as the Bexar coun-
ty court house had not better be con-
verted into a hotel for the accomoda-
ton Of our winter tourists.
If the county officials had more ac-
commodations in their old quarters,
which seems to be the general opin-
ion, they had better move back there
again, and the brown elephant dis
posed of in the most advantageous
way possible.
1t has been suggested that the new
SO-called courthouse is only a sample
or a model of what it might have been
if built in suitable proportions to ac-
cOmmOdate the occupants. 1t is an
expensive model to serve as a practi-
cal test. But it may be like the ne
grO's catfish. at swunk."
-
The pile Of the taxpayers money
that has ben wasted upon that intol-
cradle abortion has certainly "swunk"
TO judge from the cheapnesS of the in
side finish of the structure.
On the other hand some of the work
on the exterior is quite expensive, and
it is a pity that by the confused mix
ture of forms and details. it fails to
satisfy refined taste. 1t is 4 million
dollar what is it?"
The monthly bills for the electric
lights used to make some of the Office
rooms serviceable, is another item of
expense, likely not reckOned in the
original estimates of the architect.
Perhaps they come under the head of
contingencies.
Our city hall with all itsIfaulty ar
rangements comes much nearer serv-
ing its purposes than the million dol
lar pile of sandstone, and in spite of
its great quantities of sheet iron ma
sorry is a more slightly looking struc-
ture.

The State, Democracy Busted and
Christian Charlie" 0usted.

turns come in from all sections
of the state the Republican cleo
tOral vote shows up better than
it has since 1860 and from what
can be seen by review of the I'M
official vote it is made manifest
that had the POpulists stuck to
their word and voted for McKin-
ley electors and their own man,
Kearby, that the state would
have been in the Republican col
umn nationally and gone for the
POpuliSt state ticket. AS esti-
mated last week the vote will
reach 100000 and the uncertain
100000 which held the balance
of power has told the story. They
were for Culberson and Bryan
and hence the state will go Dem
Ocratic. 1t is generally believed
from reflection of returns that
POpulists in large numbers de-
clined to vote the fusion Repub-
lican ticket. The gold Democrats
to a man voted for Mckinley.
Some Populists did, but a large
majority went the other way.
The result to be arrived at there
fore is that the Republican party
has by force of circumstances
made a substantial increase in
this state. While all party lines
were down this year it is safe to
say that the Republican gain this
year will be found to be the basis
for larger vote four years hence.
As distressing as it is to them to
do so the Democratic managers
here say that the Democratic ma
jority in Texas, while they will
always consider it safe, will new
er again come within whistling
distance of the big 100000 ma
jority cast for Cleveland for his
first term. From carefully esti-
mated returns, here though I'M
official, Culberson as head of the
state Democratic ticket, will get
$4,000 majority, falling behind
the balance of the ticket about
10000.
Bryan and Sewall's majority
will probably be $4,000. 1t is es-
timated that they will lead the
Mckinley ticket by 100000. After
a careful return from various con-
greSsional districts the election
of the following congressman are
assured by handsome majorities:
