fell on the face in the picture, and
John thought of the black day two
years ago, when he buried his little
girl. How it had snowed He saw it
all now. AS they filled in the earth
the snow kept falling into the grave,
like little white messengers of peace,
the good priest said at the time.
He would like to brush the snow
from the little face before him; he
did not like to see it there. He held
on to the bars in a revery.
Presently there was a noise of Sob
bling; man was crying who perhaps
never cried before. 1t could not have
been the burglar, for there he lay,
still smiling, and dreaming of the new
life. Now a gruff voice spoke between
the sobs:-
ooh, my little darling, why did you
leave me? I am so lonesome without
you'll" And the iron ratings shock as
a big frame held on to them for sup
port.
John awoke from his revery. He
thought he had heard a voice that was
familiar, and sobbing, too. No, it
there he was smiling in his sleep.
John wondered what could be the
matter with him; there was a catch
ing in his throat, like hiccoughs, and
his face was wet; but it was showing.
ALI There was the wagon six or seven
blocks away.
He unlocked the gate.
"Come, get up!" he said.
The old man looked around with a
stare, shaking the snow from him like
a dog. Then he remembered, and the
old expression of sullen despair came
back.
"Step outside" said John pushing
him to the edge of the sidewalk.
The wagon was only block away
now. The man heard and understood
He stuffed the old red handkerchief
that had been around his neck into
his mouth, to keep from shrieking.
"Yip-yo-ho!" There was the wagon
followed by a crowd of night hawks
and the roystererst to seethe fun. There
were three policemen in the wagon,
besides Sergeant Devine, Johns sue
cessOr.
''Well, Began, where are they?"
''There was only one," said John.
''Well, where is he? Inside?"
"No; he's-he's gone"
''Gone!" they all cried.
"He's escaped" gasped John.
(which way did he go?''
81 Dunno" said the big policeman,
staggering.
you've been drinking, sir!" said
the sergeant. Report at once to the
station"
Clang, Clang! Away went the wag-
on back to the station house.
The crowd remained behind, look
ing at John, and wondering what it
was all about. The man was still
there. There was an expression Of
blank amazement on his face. He
doubted if he had heard Alright?

states, as IOIIOws:

Only two of these states voted for Bryan.
In these states Mckinley gets rs electoral
votes and Bryan ~. Mckinley's popular
plurality in the six Scandinavian states
carried by him Is 426, 159. Bryan's popu
lar plurality In the two states carried by
him is ID, 242. Net plurality for Mckinley
In the eight Scandinavian states, Az, 917.
This grouping of facts, taken In con-
nection with the enormous gains made by
the Republicans in the cities, where the for
eign population is largely conferred, shows
conclusively that the plurality for McKin-
ley was due wholly to the foreign vote.
Upon painstaking analysis Of all the
conditions 1 have concluded that the 49,
94O, 900 voters of last November were d.
yided as follows:
Native white American. x....... 100000
Native colored American. ............. 5000
Foreign American. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 5.V9o,OoO

Analysing the election results from the
showing made in the foregoing article,
aided by personal Investigation of tho trend
of the foreign vote made during the cam
paign, conclude that McKinley's total
vote was made up as follows
Foreign born or of foreign family. 100000
Native white American. 3O75. OOGf
Total. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. s.1lN0o0.
And that Bryan's vote was made up as
follows:
Foreign born or Of foreign family. 2825, 600
Native white American. ............... 4,035,0O0l
Total. o,eoo,ooo'
While these figures are in the nature Of
things only approximate estimates, they
are believed to be reasonably accurate.
They show that 60 per cent Of the foreign
vote went to Mckinley and "a per cent Of
the native white American vote to Bryan.

Vanderbilta, Astora and Others Take
Charge of the Custom Houses and

duraa.

New York, Oct. 2O--News has reached
Wall street that Honduras syndicate,
composed of the Vanderbilts, Astors and
other New York millionaires, has resunl-
ed control Of the customs houses and
banking institutions OF the republic, and
has commenced the task Of iquidatins the
Indebtedness of that country. The con
gress Of Honduras mas authorized the 10
sue Of 81 ,50O, 900 of gold bonds to the syn
dictate. They are to run for % years and
are to be applied to the settlement Of the
foreign debt of the nation.
This experiment of government by
syndicate is the latest and most fin de
steele outgrowth OF the tendency to trust
control that has developed in the United
States or anywhere else on earth
Back in the latter Cos the financial trou-
bles of Honduras had their beginning.
Revolutions and internal dissensions had
utterly demorsliled this, the richest in
natural resources OF all the Central Amer
lean countries. In the effort to liquidate
the Indebtedness the government issued
SIS, 900, 900 OF bonds, but spectators gain
ed control of them and the nation realized
only about 81 ,OOO,OOO. This involved Hon
duras hopelessly in debt, but she has been
struggling under the burden.

AN ARMY POST ON THE YUKON.
VIII Ne Established by the United

Chicago, Oct. 2l.-A special from Wash
ington says:
President Mckinley will issue an or
der placing a large district OF Alaska, OF
which st. Michaels will be the center, un-
der the control of the military arm of the
government. BY this action the autohri
ties believe that the hwlessness feared as
a result OF the rush of gold seekers to the
great northwest territory will be- suppress
sed. The proposed military district will
be about 100 miles square
The determination To issue the order
was arrived at, il is said. at a cabinet
meeting. While no official reports Of any
thing but peaceful condition have reach
ed the department, private eommuniea-
tons from responsible parties have con
WINGED the authorities that something
more was necessary than civilian rule
The authorities say that the offenses com
mitted within the boundaries Of the di.
triet to be described by the president in
his order, will subject those responsible to
arrest by the military and prosecution by
the civilian authorities before whom they
will be brought.
The war department also proposes TO
establish an army post on the Yukon
river, but that will not be done before
next spring"
