WASTE OF ORATORY.
Government Policy Defended by
Three of the Ministry.

LONDON, Nov. 4.-There was a flood Of
political speeches tonight Arthur j. Bal
four first lord of the treasury, spoke at Nor
witch; Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, chancellor
of the excheQuer, spoke at Sheffield and Jo-
seph Chamberlain, secretary Of state for the
colonies, at Glasgow. Mr.. Chamberlain's
speech was an elaborate defense Of the gem
eraI policy of the government. Sir Michael
Beach, who was the principal speaker
at the cutters banquet at Sheffield, main
tanned the attitude he assumed two years
ago. that England wanted reform in military
matters, rather than an Increase in the army
which he called the ''cosliest in the World"
He said that if it could bee shown that an
increase was imperative the nation would
cheerfully pay the cost, but he was by no
means sure that a mere increase OF men
and expenditures was all that was needed.

the company to give it up. So successful were
the methods that the city discovered beyond
doubt about $4,000 Of property which would
otherwise have escaped. For this the bill is

TAKEN FROM THE DOUBTFUL LIST
BY RECOUNTs IN VARIOUS
DISTRICTS.

Postmaster General Gary Among
Those Mentioned for the Sem
atorship-Latest Returns.

BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. Am Of
fetal count of the ballots cast on Tues
day last made in most of the coun-
ties today, leaves no further room for
doubt that the Republicans have con-
troll of both branches of the legis-
lature and that a Republican will sue
coed Arthur P. German in the United
States senate. Five members of the
assembly and one senator were today
taken from the Democratic list Of
probabilities and added to that Of the
Republicans Three Of the assembly
members and the senator are all from
Talbot county, and one member each
from Prince Georges and Carroll.
This gives the Republicans 40 mem
bers in the house and the Democrats
AZ. It also gives the Republicans IS
to s for the Democrats in the senate.
The confusion in Talbot county arose
from the fact that IS votes in Thigh
man precinct were found to have been
counted twice for the Democratic tick
ct. This being corrected, gave the Re-
publican legislative candidates ma
jorities ranging from 16 to 10 votes. In
Prince Georges a similar correction

while In Carroll, the recount showed
that ST. Ansbury Rep.) defeated

Before leaving, however, Chairman
Murray Van Diver gave out the fol-
lowing statement: "As far as the
joint convention of the general as
sembly is concerned, the matter is not
entirely settled and will not be until
the official returns are made up. In
regard to the house of delegates, L am
still Of the opinion that the Demo-
Gratis will have a majority in that body
and will organize it. The election in
several Of the counties is 50 close that
X is impossible to tell at present which
side has won, and I belieWeea recount
will be demanded in Montgomery
county by the Democrats, who claim
that they have elected at least one,
and possibly two members Of the
house. while the Republicans claim
that they have elected all three. A
recount may also be demanded in Tai
bot and in Carroll counties to deter
mine the result with certainty. At
any rate, we have not given up our
expectation of controlling the house,
whether we have majority on joint
ballot or not"
Among those most prominently men

resenting the Norwegian societies of
the city, completed its arrangements
for the welcome Of the explorer, while
in the city, Nov 26 and 27. The meet
ing was held at the Norwegian Y. M.

to the West hotel. At the hotel lobby
a brief programme will be rendered.
The united bands, seventy pieces, will
render the festival march, composed
for the occasion by John Henrick
Lampe, "Nord Pole March," which will
be followed by a song written for the
occasion by John Heintman, to be
sung by the Norsemen's singing So
ciety. A short address will then be
delivered by John w. Arctander upon
behalf of the Norwegians Of Mime
apolis. To this it is expected that DR.
Nansen will respond. The Thelma
March, composed by P. G. Peterson
for the occasion, will be played by the
united bands, and while filing out Of
the hotel all will unite in Norway's
national hymn, Eyes, This Is the
Country We Love-"
The procession, as decided by ballot,
will form as follows, and convey the
explorer to the Tabernacle, where he
will deliver his first lecture in this

all will be mounted.

state, but it was claimed by the st. Paul,
& Northern Pacific that they had not been
earned, as the road had not been constructed
by the Manitoba company, but rather by the
st. Paul Northern Pacific company itself.
The state Legislature sought, by an act in
1871 TO transfer the lands, Notwithstanding
the governors conveyance, bat the court held
that the Northern Pacific did not, by the
provisions of this act acquire any such title
to the land as to enable It to maintain a suit.
The dismissal OF the case by the supreme
court sustains this view. The dismissal was
however, the result OF an agreement between
the contending parties. and this fact sug-
gests a compromise.

with Mr.. Stead, predicted that the
Tanmany majority would be 100000
votes, adding: IF I were to run for
mayor, 1 should want all the news

added, says Mr.. Stead: "If you intend
to write about me, please say that
Tammany must give New York the
best government it ever had. New

Returns in Kansas Conceded to BE
Against Them.

Topeka Kan, Nov. 4.-Election returns
have been received at Republican heaaSuar
tiers from sixty-three Kansas counties out Of
los, and from sixty-eight counties at Popu-
list headquarters. While both reports agree
on large 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 official count. The Republicans
elect nine out Of thirteen district judges, as
follows: NJ. P. Sampson in the Ninth dis
trict; R. NJ. Picker in the Fifteenth; A. r.
Twenty-irst; R. F. Thompson, Thirtieth; F.
IT Price, Thirty-first; W. e. Hutchinson,
Thirty-second; c.. w. Smith, Thirty fourth,
and William Thompson, Thirty-fifth. The
fusonsts elected these judges: John T. Bur-
ris, Tenth district; A. c. T. Geffer, Seven
teenth; w. 7. Mcbride. Nineteenth and j.
i. Andrews, Thirty-third. About the election
of these judges there is no dispute. The Pop
ulist managers late this afternoon conceded
that the results Of the judicial elections were
a distinct victory for the Republicans.

Election Results ForeshadOw His
Defeat In 1900.


CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-Senator John M.
Thurston, of Nebraska. arrived in the
city last night from his recent cam
pa:gring trip throughout his state.
He said the result there was no disap-
pointment to him in view of the hand
leap which the Republicans labored
under because of their defaultipg state
treasurer and auditor, as well as the
prejudice aroused against the ticket
as representing the old state capitol
crowd. He was of the opinion that the
general result, especially in New York,
instead of foreshadowing BryaRs NOM
ination in 1900, and free, silver plat
form, pointed in quite different di-
rection. II think the result in New
York." he said points to that state
as likely to name the presidential can
didate of the Democrats in 1900 as well
as to the probability that silver will
not be an issue. Certainly thet Demo-
Gratis cannot hope to succeed without
New York and on the silver issue I
am firmly of the opinion the state
would practically repeat It's verdict Of
1896 against It," n

"NEW MAN, A FAILURE.
Can't Get AIimOny From His Wife
in Divorce Suit.


A man cannot claim temporary alimony
and attorney fees at the hands of a court in
Minnesota. Such is the law laid down by
Judge Jamison, in his decision in the divorce
case of Sophie M. Alther vs. Charles NJ.
Alther.
The point came up for the first time In this
county, before Judge Jamison, two weeks ago,
when the husband appeared by attorney and
asked the court to make order forcing his
wife to allow him temporary alimony pend
ing the action, and attorney fees with which
to prosecute the case Considerable surprise
and interest was manifested in the case at the
time, and it has been commented upon con-
siderably since by attorneys at the bar.
Judge Jamison's decision is a short one and
simply states that such an idea would be con-
trary to the law of Minnesota, and 30 he
denies the application.
The decision is based upon the point that,
as a man in Minnesota cannot look to his
wife for support, even though she may be a
new woman he cannot claim alimony from
her for his support pending the trial of q
divorce action.
