Three Games of Ten Pins Rolled by
Athletic Clubs.

League ten pins drew a good-sized gather
ing of spectators to the Washington Athletic
Club last evening, in spite of the Indictment
weather. Columbia Athletic Club was the
opposing team, and it succeeded in captur-
ing two of the three games rolled. With
the exception of the final contest the scores
were rather lower than the average, c.
lumbias go in the last game being high
team total for the match.
Two difficult spares in the first game,
6, 10. by Dletz, and ;. s. 10. by DR.. Kicker
with number CT double headers on both
sides, lent interest to the contest. Deyo
also became candidate for the dog prize
by rolling a poodle in the first game.
Columbia took the lead in the opening
event by rolling total of - pins in the
first frame to 40 by w! A. c., but after
that they played poorly. securing but 506
pins in the game. The <Nashingtons rolled
a good spare game throughout. although
they were sadly lacking in strikes, none
being made on that SIDE, until McCauly's

CHRISTMAS DAY CLOSING.
The Demand for General Observance
by stores Extending.

The movement in favor of closing all
mercantile establishments in Washington
the entire day on Christmas day is growing
in strength. The agreement to follow this
course has received the additional sigma
lures Of Lansburgh & Bro, the Family

Of Market space. Public interest in the
movement has been aroused and on every
side declarations can be heard of Intentions
not to make purchases on Christmas day.
1t Is confidently believed that the demand
for Christmas day closing will be so gen.
eral that all merchants will agree to close
up for the day.

Regard 1t ns Unnecessary.

Delegate Louis C.. Barley has introduced
a bill in the Virginia legislature providing
for game warden in every city and coun-
ty in the state, where it is deemed expedi-
ent to have one. The salary of the warden
is fixed at $500 year, and his duties arc
to see that the game laws of the state are
enforced. This bill is thought by many
here to be absolutely useless, as it is be-
Ieved that If the many constables and
magistrates are unable to enforce the law
the addition of game warden will be of
no avail

Webster on the Hawsiians

The Chronicle says that the me
mortal on annexation addressed to
our people and Government by the
Hawaians will have no weight with
Congress, and adds: Questions
about new territory have never been
referred by our Government, or any
other, to vote OF aboriginal
natives. If that had not been the
rule the greater part of America
and all OF Africa would now be un-
civilized"
This attempt to make it appear
that the Hawaians are still in abort
ginal conditions and therefore are
to be treated like the primitive

Indians OF this country, the African
negroes and the Bushmen of Austria
liza is peculiarly brazen.
The official report on the islands,
issued from the Bureau OF American
Republics at Washington, which is
intended to strengthen the cause OF
annexation, quotes the report made
by Daniel Webster, Secretary OF
State, iuclosing the report OF the
Hawaiian Commissioners Of 1912, in
which this occurs:
THE language has been reduced
to visible and systematic form and
is now written by large and re-
spectacle portion of the people.
Schools have been established
throughout the dominion, and there
are but few among the younger peo-
pie who are unable to read. They
have now iu their own language a
library, covering considerable
variety OF books on many subjects,
embracing the Holy Scriptures,
works on natural history. civil his
tory, church history, geography, po-
litical economy, mathematics and
statute law, besides a number of
elementary books. A code of laws
both civil and criminal, has been en-
acted and published" With that
beginning in education aud letters
more than half century ago, the
Hswaiians have continually pro-
crossed until, this report says: "The
country churches of the Protestant
denominations are chiefly conducted
by Hawaiian pastors. There is an
excellent system OF free public
schools. The children are instruct
cd in writing, reading, composition,
arithmetic and geography. There
is no district, however remote, in
which there is not a school. The
only people acho cannot read and ,orite
are those acho come from abroad. Those
born ia the islands are compelled by
law to take advantage of the educa-
tion offered"
The churches for worship and re-
ligious instruction and the schools
for secular teaching are not the
creation Of the Dole oligarchy. 1t
has built no churches and founded
no schools. That was done under
the native Government, when the
Hawaiians managed their own affairs
and developed their own civilization.
This official document issued by our
Government afiirms the results
that have crowned the devotion OF
the natives to learning and institu-
tions OF civilization, and proves that
the only illiterates are those who
come from abroad aud that every
native can read and write. OF what
other people on earth can the same
be said?

THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE.

Columbus, O., November 3.-Chair-
man McConville, of the Democratic
State Committee, comedies the defeat
of his State ticket, but states that they
have reduced the Republican plurality
of 81 900 of last year by over one-half.
Although others at Democratic State
headquarters concede that the Legisla
ture will be Republican on close ma
jority of one or more, Chairman Nc
Conville does not concede the control
of that body to the Republicans. After
II p. m. he reviewed the claims of the
Republicans on the Legislature. Mr.
McConville said the Republicans
claimed the Legislature by Is to 70.
He struck the representatives from
Wood and Noble counties from their
list, also the Senator from the Marion
Logan district, and said these three
changes would make the Legislature
stand 70 Democrats to II Republicans,
and he would never give either of
these three doubtful members up until
the official count was completed. He
also contests the election OF two
of the twelve members from Cuyahoga
county, which would make the Legis-
lature stand rs Democrats and 70 Re-
publicans Chairman McConville says
he believes the Democratic representa-
tives were elected in three counties,
which he does not want to name,
pending investigation of alleged frauds.
He charges frauds in Noble and Wood
counties and in the Marion-Logan dis
trict In the event Of the Republicans
securing the Legislature on as close
a margin as is now. claimed by them
and not conceded by the Democrats.
Chairman McConville predicts that
Senator Ham will secure the caucus
nomination, but fail of election, as did
DR.. Godfrey Hunter at Frankfort, ky.,
last winter. There are reports TO-
night that certain anti-Hanna Re-
publicans and Democratic man
ayers have held conferences Tor d
combination to bring out another man
if Governor Bushnell refuses TO allow
the use of his name for Senator.

KANSAS.

Kansas City, Mo-, November 3.-In-
dications up to o'clock this afternoon
are that the Republicans have carried
a majority of their Kansas county
tickets, in most cases by increased ma
jorities over 1896, and that they held
their own as compared with the vote
in 1895; 1896 was a Republican year.
Returns received from Al counties out
of 105, place Is absolutely in the Re-
publican column, give twelve to the
Fusionists and show eleven to be
mixed. Counties where the biggest
Republicans gains are expected are
still to be heard from.
There is still considerable doubt
about the eleven district judgeships.
The Populists claim nine, while the
Republicans as positively assert that
they have elected eight.

DEMOCRATIC GAINS
Reported From Almost Every County
in Iowa, But the Republicans Have
the State and Legislature.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, November o.
Chairman McMillen, of the Republican
Committee. says that Shaw's plurality will
reach more than 10000. Reports received
from so counties give Shaw a plurality OF
2O320 and the estimate of the Republican
Committee is that the other 40 will not
do as well. 1t is expected by Chairman
McMillen that the plurality will reach
1900 to 1900 more when returns are re-
ceived from the entire State. AS to the
Legislature the Republicans claim So in
the House out of 100, and 40 out of so in
the Senate.
Returns from the first 43 counties show
1900 plurality for Shaw, an average Dem
ocratic gain of 400 per county. This was
reduced this morning to an average OF 5OI
per county. The Democratic State Com
mittee comedies Shaw's election by 1900,
but gains are claimed in the Legislature.
Chairman Walsh admits there will be 80
Republicans in the Senate, counting the
newly elected members and hold-overs.
The Democrats claim 3S members of the
House and the Republicans concede them
81
GREAT DEMOCRATIC GAINS.
DIES MONIES, Iowa, November 3.-The
returns by counties are nearly all in now.
Chairman Mcmillan, of the Republican
State Committee, has complete returns
from ninety-four counties and has estf-
mated returns from the five remaining
counties. BY this means he has figured a
plurality for Shaw, Republican, of about
81, 1872
Chairman Walsh, of the Democratic
State Committee, has given out no figures
tonight. He thinks that errors in the
returns may reduce the plurality for Shaw
to 10000 The Republican plurality last
year was 65, 522 according to Republican
estimates: it is therefore, just about cut
in two. The Legislature is safely Repub-
ican. The Senate has fifty members, Of
which SO are Republicans, and II Populists
and Democrats. The House has 100 mem
bers of which the Republicans have elect
ed 81 and the Populsts and Democrats SO.
These figures are subject to slight varia-
tions, probably to the advantage of the
Democrats.
The Republicans lost four members in
in the Senate and seventeen in the House,
compared with the last Legislature, which
was Overwhelmingly Republican.
