RAISING THE PLURALITY
IN OLD KENTUCKY
The Returns Still Coming in
Slowly From the Back
Districts.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 4 4-Election
returns in the recent contest for Clerk OF
the Court Of Appeals are coming slowly.
Those from heretofore missing precincts
in the State raise Shackelford's, Sill. D.,
plurality to 19, 224, with 3S7 precincJs out
of IVA missing.
The counties which have reported the
vote in full make the total for the State
263, ,97I, and when 81 are in the total will
hard Y 90 over 300 600. This shows tre-
mendous falling of from last years vote.
when d grand total of 445,77 was cast. a
falling off OF over 100 eco even in an off
year, cannot be satisfactorily explained by
The bad weather that prevailed election
day.
0f the 263, Ell votes so far tabulated
Shackelford has 1877 500, Bailey r. Ia, 31S,
H Hndman \. D. 3078 and Parker Pop.
1887 In Hindman's vote an increase OF
1864 over last years National Democratic
vote is shown, but the vote cannot 20 over
1900, and this, 1t is alleged, knocks all
the props from under the National Dem
ocrats' position, which required at least
80 coo votes for Hind m an to justify the ex-
lstence OF gold Dem ocratic organization.

TREATY TO BE SIGNED.
If England Joins in Checking PeIagfc
Sealing the Herd viii Be
Preserved.

NEW YORK, Nov 4.-The Herald s
Washington special says: Unless the pres
ent plans of Special Seal EN- bassador Fos-
ter go awry the treaty will be signed at the
State Department tom orrow by him as
representative of the United States, and
the representatives of Russia and Japan,
which contempIates the suspension OF Pc
lagic sealing in the North Pacific tor a
limited period.
Should Great Britain at the Forthcoming
conference, in which she and Canada and
the United States will participate, accept
the treaty which will be signed tomorrow
the admin istration believes it viii have
done everything possible to preserve the
seal herd from determination.
Russia and Japan, of course, can only
agree with the United States TO tie sus-
pension of pelagic sealing within the
waters in ,heir jurisdiction, but if
Great Britain joins in the movement
it will mean the closing of the North Pa
citic to American and Canadian sealers
for term of years, and the administra-
tion officials claim the consequent pre-
serTance OF the fur seal.

RELIGIOUS FlLIBUS7ERiNG.
Too Many Churches in the Town OF

ods Criticized.

BOSTON, Nov. 4. To-morrow's Con-
gregationalist will contain the following
remarkable editorial on Religious Fill
clustering in the West:
There are too many churches in Whatcom.
Wash. Secretary Clark has stated that our
Home Missionary Society planted cnurcn
there in 1888. when there was no other re-
ligious orgauIZa ton within several miles oil
the place.
Nov the secretary of the Baptist Home
visionary Society. General E. A. Morgan,
says IN the New York Independen: that there
is evidence that the Baptists were there first,
for there is on fl. an application from Bap-
tist minister for appoint ment as the MISSION
ary 10 that place, on the plea that Wnl!e lne
Congrcgatonslisls on Sunday took steps Tor
organization, he had organized Bapust
church there the evening before.
We have known several instances where
men who wanted to be supported by some
denominational home missionary society
have heard that movement was i'll progress
in some Western town to organize q churcn.
Perhaps a faithful effort had been made by d
missionary for several weeks in that direction
when some one claiming TO be repres nta-
tive OF some other denomination would sud
denly appear, get three or four p9r.ons
together and orgariZe them into church,
promising them that they could get help from
the denominational treasury, and thus, 10
use Western phrase, Jump the claim.
Some denominational societies have ap-
peared glad 10 encourage such religious NIL
Ustering. Why has The Baptist Homo MIS-
sionary Society persistently refused 10 enter
other denomin atons which would have re-
lieved them all from possible responsibility
for such scandals, which have seriously him
dered the effect OF the Gospel in The West?

KIDNAPPED At Night
BY A HIGHBIN DER
Chinese Merchant of Fowler
Robbed of His Young
Daughter.
The Villain FoiIed by VlgiIant
Officer and the Girl Returned
to Her Home.
Special Dispatch to The CALL

FRESNO, Nov. Emma Allen, ~
year-oid Chinese girl, was kidnapped from
her home in Fowler last night by Ma Gee,
a notorious highbinder. whose purpose
was 10 sell her into a life of slavery in
some Chinatown den in the State. The
a bou uciion was remarka Die for the bold
ness OF the perpetrator, but ITS success was
short lived, for Constable Mason appre-
hended the highbinder and the girl at
Tulare to-day and left tonight 10 bring
then: back to Fowler, to return the child
to her parents and to have Ma Gee answer
to charge OF abduction.
The high binder, who is we'll known to
the officers Of the State, had been hanging
around Fowler for several days, and Con-
stab bic Mason was satisfied that the fellow
was up to something wrong, but could
not imagine what he was after.
So when the parents of the girl notified
the officer this morning that their daugh-
ter was missing, and that the open win
dow OF her bedroom and the tracks on the
ground showed the nature of her Ge-
parture, Mason at once came to the con-
clusion as 10 what Ma Gee had been in
the town for. the parents had also see:I
the highbinder, and they, too, suspected
Immediately that he hadkidnaped their
daughter.
1t appears that Gee stole up to the win
dow OF The girl slee ping apartments. The
window was horizontal sliding one, un-
fastened, and the abGuctor had no diff
Guilty in opening it. The bed was next 10
the window, and he easily reached in and
snatched his victim. The other occupants
OF the house did not hear any outcry from
the child during the night, and it is prob
able that tho highbinder caught her by
the throat and prevented her from call
ing for help.
Lee Allen, father of the girl, is we'll.
to-do merchant of Fowler. He went
there about nine years ago. He had as
sumed an American name during his
long stay in California.

The State Will Once More Be
Counted as Republican

TOPEKA, KAxs Nov. Election re-
turns have been Ieceived at Republican
headquarters from 63 Kansas counties out
oflO5. and of6S counties at Populist head
quarters. While both reports agree on
Republican gains over the vote of 1896,
they are conflicting in comparison with
the vote Of 1895, and this must be deter
mined by the oticiai count.
The Republicans elect nine out of Is dis.
trict judges as follows: NJ. P. mpson
in the Ninth Distr ct, r NJ. Pickler in the
Fifteenth, Ansell r. Clark in the
Twentieth, r. B. Spilmar in the Twen;v-

John 7. Burris Tenth D!Stri t, a. c. t.
Geicer Seventeenth, W. 7. McBr de Nine

About the election o. these JUDGES there
is no dispute. The PopuIst managers

STANFORD F0o7BALL TEAM.
VARSITY Players Make Little Readway,
but the Second Team Shows
Improvement.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Nov. A
There has been little improvement in
Varsity football this week. The general
pay is slow and the interference, except
in certain formations, is ragged. Ii any
advancement has been made it is in
steadiness OF play and in handling the
kicks.
The second team, however. has made a
remarkably good showing The old men
have improved and NUN Der OF new men,
principally freshmen, have added to its
strength. Fred JOSH, who has been play
ing off and on for the past three years,
has recently appeared on the field and has
been doing good work despite the fact hat
he is handicapped from lack OF condition.
Dale, Wardoll, Hill and Beckley among
the freshmen have been playing the best
ball against the Varsity. Pascal Smith
has been tried at quarter on the second
team. He is strongest at tackIing.
There have been number Of changes
made during the week in the Varsity.
Jeffs has been tried at quarter in place
OF Murphy, who is out of condition. He
has taken well TO his position and passes
extre mely well for an inexperienced man.
He has been running the punts in good
shape. Jast, Parker, Ben Thomas and
Fisher have all been tried on the Varsity
as halves. Ray Smith, Levitt, Parker
and Rusk have played end on the hrst
team. James. at tackle, has also been
gwen a chance on the Varsity.
1t has been decided that the teams will
go into training quarters about the 19;h
at Congress Springs. where last years
training was done.
The roofing mas begun in earnest. The
bleachers are crowded each night and ex-
perienced men lead the yelling. Two vic
tories have reused anew college en-
thusiasm and there is little fear now that
it will diminish before it reaches its cul-
mination in the big game.

Mr.. STEAD TALKS
UPON TAMMANY.
On the Whole, Does Not Re-
gard the Result as
Calamity.

LONDON, Nov. Am Englishman who
does not cherish total gloomy view oi
the result of the recent election in Greater
New York is William d. Stead, The we'll
known newspaper man who recently
figured in the public eye here as the
sponsor of Richard Croker in a somewhat
fattering pen portrait OF that noled Tam
many chieftain.
Mr.. Stead gave his views to a repre-
sentative of the Associated Press to-day.
in original phrases such as characterize
his utterances Mr.. Croker, it appears,
while conversing with Mr. Stead, pre-
dicted that the Tammany majority would
be 100, 600 votes, adding: ''If l were to run
Tor Mayor I should want all the news
papers against me"
Mr.. Croker added, says Mr.. Stead: ''If
you intend to write about me, please say
that Iammany must give New York the
best government it ever lad. New \ ork
is the ideal OF the world, and that is the
future watchword for Tammany."
Mr.. Stead continued: at is a great
vindication OF Tammany and Croker and
gives them wonderful opportunity,
though 1t does not wipe out the slate of
the past. Nothins could erase the Lexow
revelations; but many men who, strug-
Cling TO the front, sometimes find II neces-
sary to do such things to get there, would
be superior to such temptations after
having achieved position.
Becky Sharp said, 1t is easy to be
virtuous on thousand year. Tam
many and Croker have got the thousand
a year. The election must give impetus
to Bryanism.
About the election generally Mr.. Stead
was quite che erful, saying: "The Chicago
platform, minus the nonsense about free
silver, If that is what Tammany's victory
mean, won't scare The English. To most
of US IN the old country your plutocrats
seem much greater menace TO the COM
monweallh than the Democrats, even il
they do swear by Croker and Tammany
Hall. The Republican campaign fund
staggered US much more than the victory
for Van Wyck."

Court. The Rocky Mountain News ha'
specials giving complete returns OF ali but
SIX counties. The N ssing counties are all
far from railroads and are but sparsely
populated. Estimates have been made OF
their vote, and the result gives Gabbert

that present returns are unfavoTable, dc
not concede Gabbert's election, maintain
