biggest surprise afforded by the recent cleo
ton, aside from the republicans carrying
Montgomery county. is the decided slump
in Garrett county. 1t was expected that a
school bond issue agitation, but on the
contrary, absolute indifference prevailed
and at some of the precincts not a worker
could be seen.
Colonel Pearre's plurality is 26O The
school board issue lost despite the fact
that the county is greatly in need of school
houses. Had the question carried $50, $50
would have been spent in the erection of
new buildings.
The normal republican majority in Gar
rett is from 800 to 500
Colonel Pearres plurality in Allegany
county is 2,003. and the official figures will
make little. If any, alteration No other
candidate in the county ever made such a
showing, eXcept his father, the late Judge

BUFFALO, N Y, November 1O.-Al-
though the face of the returns indicates
that r. B. Mahany has been defeated for
Congress in the thirty-second New York
district by $50 votes, it is by no means GER
tain that he will not occupy the seat.
In the first place, there are something like
100 soldier votes from this county in the
outlying districts in Asia, the West Indies
and in camps III the United States. These
soldier votes have not yet been counted,
and they materially affect the result.
In addition to this managers of MIR. Ma
hany's campaign charge wholesale bribery
in some of the wards, and they apparent
ly have the proofs. Proceedings will be in
stituted at once to test the legality of
Ryans election, and Mahany will undoubt-
edly file a contest for seat. He ran nearly
2,oaa votes ahead of his ticket in a district
normally democratic by 5,UU1, and is in
consequence looked upon certain to be
appointed postmaster of Buffalo If he will
accept but his friends believe he will pre-
fer to contest for the congressional seat.

more Out of this latter amount AlIeeany

Representatives of an electric railway
company who were some months ago
granted permission to build a line between
thls city and WeSternport. opposite Pied
mont, w. Va, distance of about thirty
miles, but which has not taken any ac-
i've steps IN the matter, were before the
poard Oh county commissioners yesterday
and entered a protest against a forfeiture
OF the charter. This company was granted
franchise last spring to build the new
eIectrlc road, and was given a certain time
in which the work of constructing the
road was to begin.
For failure to comply with the order
the franchise was to be forfeited by the
eiectrlc railway company. After the time
of forfeiture had passed the attorney
of new syndicate petitioned the county
commissioners for the franchise
me representatives of the old syndicate,
who were before the board yesterday,
stated that the latter was anxious to re-
tain the right of way and stated they
were now ready to commence the survey
for the building of the line. and asked the
commissioners for an extension of time.
After considering the matter the board
passed an order extending the time for the
commencement of the survey. 1t was agreed
that the survey is to be begun or be-
fore December l, and the report Of the
survey with maps and plans to be laid be-
fore the county commissioners on or be-
fore March 1 next when the time for COM
mencement and completion of the new
roads will be fixed by the commissioners.
In default of making the surveys, all re-
be considered abandoned. Mr. Douglas p.

ments. There are some subordinate ques
tions. growing out of these, but the fore
going cover all the main topics
Besides these actual topics of discussion,
considerable significance has been attached
to the work of the commission because of
the expression it gave to the sentiments
recently developed between Great Britain
and the United States. This was given
marked prominence during the sessions of
the commission at Quebec. Thus far, how
ever, it has found no official expression in
the work of the commission, except in de-
veloping a general sentiment of cordiality
and desire to get together on the SUBJ
Jects of long controversy between this
country and Canada
The commission has nothing to do, how
ever, with an Anglo-American peace treaty
and the commissioners wish the misappre-
heasion on that point cleared up. Their
sole duties are along the lines of actual diff
ference already specified although there is
an underlying sentiment that the settle
ment of these will go far toward placing
the relations of the two countries on
stable basis.
