aged the plan of conference. He said

but the Matter viii Probably

CHICAGO, Feb. "a Washington spe-
cial says: Complications have arisen
which may furnish dramatic Interrupt
ton to the counting Of the electoral votes
next Wednesday. Representative Geo.
Washington Murray. the only colored
member of the house, who represents
the Charleston district, has just re-
turned from South Carolina, where he
was in consultation with leading Repub-
licans. He Is armed with a petition
signed by thousands of Republicans, pro-
testing against the counting of the elec-
toral vote and asking an investigation
of the election laws and the state con-
stitution. The claim Is made that the
election laws and the state constitution
upon which they are based are not in
accord with the federal constitution.
Whatever immediate result this at
tempt to discredit South Cardinals vote
may be. there is no doubt the program
to be thus dramatically inaugurated is
part of a far-reaching scheme on the
part of several southern states where
the negro predominateS, but this vote
Is not factor, the purpose being to Sc
cure either Republican domination in
these southern states or reduce the DEM

TILLMAN TALKS
WASHINGTON, Feb 6-Senator
Tillman of South Carolina said today
with considerable emphasis, that if Nc
Kinley is going to be inaugurated in
March the vote of South Carolina would
have to be counted next week. He as
serted that opposition to counting the
vote had behind it a scheme to reduce
southern representatives in congress
and in the electoral college, and declared
that If the Republicans attempted to
make an attack upon South Carolina's
state constitution it must be done in
some other manner than by endeavoring
to prevent the counting of her vote for
Bryan.
WILL NOT PROTEST
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6-Representa-
tive Murray of South Carolina has been
appealed to by his associates in the house
not to execute his program of protesting
South Carolina's electoral vote, and it
is likely that he will abide by their ad-
vice. The program of the South Caro-
lima members, it is stated tonight, was
unknown to the Democratic members
here.

TALLY STICKS.

Inat tally sticks were at one time
pIe'ty general may be concluded from
me derivation Of the word score. In
~ original Specification, score" ls
scar. cut made In counting
SLICK. So also a tally" is derived from
Journal.
me Roman numerals are derived
from scores. They were mere notches
cut In wood originally. The v for five
was rude representation Of the out
spread hand, and the X in like man
ner symbolized all ten fingers; the w
was comparatively late innovation:
originally the Nv was represented by
iour strokes, or notches, as In clock
dials.
The old Celtic alphabet-the Ogham
writing-was of very similar nature.
1t consisted of notches cut at the cor-
ner OF square stone, or else from a
stem line. The letters b, L, F. s, N are
formed by cutting strokes at right an
sies to the stem line of the right hand,
ana the letters H, D. T, G, @ by strokes
at right angles to the left Thus, a
s!mpie stroke Of the right is and to
the left Is II. two to the right is L
ana the same number to the left ia
ID. Three to one side is F, three to the
other is T. Long strokes, numbering
from one to five, cutting the stem dag
onaliy. expressed M, G, Ng, St. R, and
snort strokes, numbering from one to
nve, cutting across the stem at right
angles, give the vowels. 1t is easy to
see that the tally stick was used for
numbers before the alphabet was
thought of by our Celtic forefathers.
Having proved the tally stick valuable
Tor accounts, they applied it for writ
ing messages on rods and memorials
on tombs. The old Runic slaves for
calendars were somewhat similar.
strange symbols were introduced to
mark the several festivals, but the days
were indicated by notches.
