Refused to Sign the Canvass.

Information was received at the state
headquarters Of both parties that the
Republicans claimed the election of
their representative In Wood county by
twenty Eight and the Democrats claimed
their representative had a plurality OF
fourteen. When the board of elections
took its noon recess at Bowling Green
the two Democratic members OF the
board of elections refused to sign the
official canvass Of the vote of Wood
county unless the vote of one precinct
in Center township was thrown out. The
vote of this precinct makes difference
of forty-two votes on the Wood county
representative. If IT Is counted the Re-
publican representatives will have
plurality of twenty -eight and If 1t Is
thrown out the Democratic representa-
tive will have a plurality of fourteen.

In Hooking and Vinton counties the
Democrats elect their representative by
a plurality Of 75. and by about the same
plurality in Van Vert county, while
in Summit county the Democrats elect
two representatives on pluralities that
are said to be as closeaas those of Wood
and Delaware counties. The Republic
ans claim that a change of less tnar 90
votes would give them four more repre-
sentatives in the counties Of Summit,
Van Vert Hooking and Vinton. Since
the Republican plurality on the siNte
ticket has approached $4,000 no interest
is taken in those returns.

The Court-Martial of weyIer.

1t appears that the determination of
the Spanish cabinet to court-martial
General Weyler, while not directly due
to request of this government, was
probably inspired by an intimation
from the state department that his ut
terances were not calculated to smooth
the way of the negotiations. 1t is sur
missed that by thus acting with prompt
ness the Spanish cabinet has paved the
way for counter remonstrance against
the publications of ex-United States
Minister Hannis Taylor The cond
tions in the two cases, however, are said
at the state department. to be entirely
different. General Weyler being
Spanish army officer is amenable to
discipline for any interference with the
policy of the government, while Mr..
Taylor being a private citizen is not
accountable to his government for his
individual utterances.

m Charles r. Kurtz, who was chair

Hon. Charles X. kurtZ, who was chalr-
man Of the Republican state committee
in 1896 and 1895, says there is nothing
whatever in the talk about certain Re
publican members OF the legislature
combining with the Democrats to elect
Governor Bushnell or any other man
senator in place of Senator Hanna, who
was indorsed by the last Republican
state convention for both the short and
the full terms of senator. Mr.. Kurtz
SAYS that no Republican member could
afford to bolt the caucus nomination,
and he does not believe that single
Republican member could be found who
would go into such combine. AS chair
man Kurtz was defeated for reelection
as chairman by Senator Hanna and ad-
mIts he is unfriendly to the senator him.
self. this statement is believed to be the
last that will be heard of the combine
against Hanna as the Republican sena-
torial nominee.

COURTS MAY SETTLE IT
Legal Action Is Probable in the
Buckeye State
FOR CONTROL OF LEGISLATURE.

hroposition Is TO Prevent the Issue OF Ger
tificates of Election to Certain Legisla-
tive Candidates Now Centers In
the Official Counting of the Votes of
Wood County - Republican Plurality
There Reduced-some Close Figures.
Columbus o., Nov. 6.-The contest for
control of the legislature will likely be
carried into the courts. The official re-
turns of about one-fourth of the eighty
eight counties have been received by the
secretary Of state. To the returns of
close counties protests have been made.
1t is proposed now to prevent the issue
of certificates Of election to certain leg
islative candidates if the courts will so
order. Interest centers in the official
counting at Bowling Green of the vote
Of Wood county. The Republican plu-
fality was reduced to twenty eight and
again ii is announced as twenty-five.
The Democrats claim the representative
by plurality of five. Including Wood
county's representative the Republic
ans claim the legislature by seventy
five to seventy.
Constitutional surplus of One.
II NOou county SnOulu HHdlly De put
in the Democratic list by the official fig
ures the legislature would stand seven
ty-four Republicans to seventy-one
Democrats. While this is a mathemat-
ical majority of three, it is a constitu-
tional surplus of only one to guarantee
the reelection of Senator Hanna. II
requires seventy-three votes or a ma
jority of all the 145 members to elect
senator on joint ballot. With only sew
enty-four votes in the legislature the
death of a Republican member or Re-
publican vacancy from any cause wcu!d
leave the bare majority and If Wood
county should elect Democratic repre-
sentative there would no doubt be start

there were 100000 votes cast last Tues

Providence, r. l., June 29.-The game
between Providence and Scranton to-
day was one-sided because the home
team was hitting the ball free with men
on bases. The Scrantons swatted the
ball hard and steadily but Hodson kept
them hitting in the air and with dash

them down to five hits.

Dan shannon Will Manage the
Wilkes-Barre Teams Montreal Is
Still Anxious for the Wilkes Barre
Franchise.

Dan Shannon, released by Rochester,
has been engaged to manage the Wilkes
Barre club, according to the Wilkes-Barre
News-Dealer of yesterday, which con-
taned the following:
"Daniel Webster Shannon, Esq, Mon
day afternoon affixed his delicate Sqen-
cerian signature to a Wilkes-Barre Base
Ball association contract Dan says there
is good material in the Coal Barons and
he VIII make them play better ball than
they are doing now. Two years ago when
Dan and the Wilkes-Barre management
had a disagreement Dan said: i wouldn' [
play under the present management for
$4,000 month" The management has
not changed and Dan is getting-well, not
quite $4,000 month. Shannon will join
the team at Springfield on Wednesday,"
According to the contract Shannon is to
play second base and manage the team.
1t is not likely he will play until it is GER
tain that Sholta is too light to cover sec

BONNER'S FINE CATCH.

A fine one-hand catch of line hit
was worked by Bonner for a double
play in the fifth and it shut out runs.
In the sixth a hit by Drauby, a bunt by
Cooney, which Gillon failed to pick up,
with Bassetts sacrifice, q wild pitch
and hit by Murray produced two
runs.
Dixon's single and doubles by Drauby
and Cooney in the seventh made the
score to 0. The lead would have been
bigger but for Massey's jump in the
air and a capture of a drive from
Knight that would have been good for
three bases.
Then Eagan opened for Scranton with
his homer. Weighand put his homer
over the centre fence in the eighth in
ming. Three singles with a sacrifice pro-
duced the ninth run for Providence.
Scranton had men on second and third
in the eighth and ninth, but were shut
out.
