WILD ANIMALS.
Hunger Drives Them Into British
Columbia Towns

VANCOUVER (B. c., Nov. 6.-Bears
continue to be driven into many towns
of British Columbia by the pangs of
hunger. The newspapers in West
minister, Vancouver and Victoria deny
that this is the case, and claim that
the publication of such stories tends
to check settlement in British Column
bia. Waving this debatable question,
the stories published in San Francisco
were true. Many have come forward
since with remarkable statements of
prowling panthers and cougars in
farming sections.
One panther waited all night in the
branches of a tree overhanging the
ranchhouse of Mrs. Buster, who, being
alone, waited until the first streak of
dawn and took shot at him from an
upstairs window, bringing the panther
down with a rife bullet through his
head. Miss McErnery, while acting as
nurse in a wealthy farmers residence,
was Mortified at seeing a cougar peer
ing through the window at her in the
moonlight. Miss McErnery had no
weapon, and Selling the baby, she
rushed from the back door to the house
of a neighbor. Returning, the cougar
He was shot dead from the open door
of the dining-room, the rifle being
rested on the back of a chair. The
cougars eyes, glistening in the semi
darkness, served to direct the aim.
Scarcely a year passes that it is not
recorded that bears have been seen
proving in Vancouver and Westmin-
ster city limits. This year Nanaimo is

the interior however, have been less
fortunate Bear stories, like fish
yarns, are usually discredited, but
Whitewater, B. c., can produce enough
witnesses to the assertion that wild
animals are being driven into towns of
British Columbia by hunger to satisfy
the most skeptical. The story is
told by ]. McGregor, Provincial In
spector of Mines, calling in which
one of the first essentials to success is
responsibility and record for verac-
ity. Mr.. McGregor says:
Whitewater, in Kootenay, had a
sensation the other day. Four silver
tip bears made a descent upon the
town in the middle of the night. at
tackled the meat safe of the principal
hotel, demolished it and got away i'll
safety with it's contents. 1t was thought
probable that the beasts would return
next night, and. accordingly, White
water prepared for emergencies.
The entire male population turned
out, armed with rifles and shotguns
ensconsed themselves in various safe
places of vantage and awaited the adj
vent of the bears. Sure enough, soon
after midnight the bears arrived, and
terrific fusillade ensued. When the
smoke had cleared away it was discov-
cred that two of the fo1r had fallen,
one of which tipped the scales at $50
pounds

OHIO ELECTION.
Republicans Hope for an Indorse-
ment of the Administration.

CINCINNATI, Nov. Especial inter-
est is taken in the election in Ohio be-
cause of the public utterances that the
Presidents native State should show a
strong Endorsement of the Administra-
ton at this time by returning Repub-
Gcan Congressman.
This is what is known as the ..off
year. The dominant party has hereto
Icfe lost IN Ohio at the Congressional
elections following a Presidential cleo
ten and if the Republicans hold their
own on Tuesday it will be a marked
exception to the rule. The present APP
portionment of the Ohio Congressional
Districts was made while Mckinley was
Governor in 1892. Under this appor-
tionment the Republicans in 1891
elected nine and the Democrats ONLY

two members of Congress. During the
Administration of President Cleveland
in 1891 there was a tidal wave in favor
of the Republicans At the Presidential
election in 1896 the Republicans elected
fifteen and the Democrats six Of the
Ohio Congressman.
As this is the historical loft year,
the Democrats claim that they will
held their own at fifteen to six and pos
sibly make it sixteen to five. The only
State officers to be elected are. Secfe-
tary of State, Judge and Clerk of the
Supreme Court, Food Commissioners
and members of the Board of Public
Works, and none of these places carry
with them such patronage as the places
MED last year when Governor Bush
nell was reelected. Next year there
Will be elected a Governor and a tull
State ticket, together with members Of
the Legislature, with no national issues
involved, but the campaign will be
more animated than this year. During
the present canvass the only issue in
the Presidents State has been the sup
port OF his Administered ton.

By The Result Of the Elections to be Held
Tomorrow.
Thirty-eight States Elect Leglsla-
tures That Will in Turn Elect
Seuators-No Party Has a Clear
Majority at Present, but Re
publicans Are Confident the
Elections VIII Give Them One
Soon.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The con-
troll of the United States Senate VIII
be determined very largely by the -e-
suit of the elections next Tuesday,
when twenty-three States elect Legls-
latures which will in turn elect Sena-
tors. The present party strength IN
the Senate is as follows: Republicans
43 Democrats 81, Populists q, Silver
Republicans 6. This gives majority
to no one party, and it has proved a
fruitful source of doubt in legislation
Influenced by party lines.
The terms of thirty present Senators
are about to expire and in most OF these
cases the legislators chosen Tuesuay
will elect successors. In seven cases,
however Legislatures have already
been chosen and Senators elected, Viz:
Aldrich of Rhode Island, Daniel or var
ginia, McComas to succeed German or
Maryland, Hanna of Ohio, Money OF
Mississippi, Proctor of Vermont, and
the Legislature of Maine, which has
been elected, but has not yet chosen d
Senator. In Oregon, also, Simon has
been elected to fill a vacancy. These
changes, already made, give a net gain
of two in the Republican vote: Nc
Comas of Maryland and Simon of Ore
gon. The remaining twentythree Sem
ators are yet to be chosen. Those who
are about to retire: Allen, Populist, of
Nebraska; Bate, Democrat, Tennessee;
Burrows, Republican, Michigan; Can
non, Silver Republican, Utah; Clark,
Republican, Wyoming; Cockrell, DEM
ocrat, Missouri; David, Republican,
Minnesota; Faulkner, Democrat, West
Virginia; Gray, Democrat, Lodge, Re-
publican, Massachusetts; Mantle, Sill
yer Republican, Montana Mills, Dem
oCrat, Texas Mitchell, Democrat, Wis
cCnsin; Murphy, Democrat, New York;
Pascce, Democrat, Florida; Quay, &c
publican, Pennsylvania; Roach, Demo-
crat, Indiana; White, Democrat, Cali
fornia, and Wilson, Republican, Wash
ington. In several of these cases The
election of the present incumbents is
expected, but in quite a large number
of them much doubt exists. The Re-
publican managers are placing reliance
on the fact that they need only a few
votes TO secure them clear majority
While the Democrats, Populists and Sill
yer Republicans would have to carry
most all of the doubtful Legislatures
in order TO prevent a Republican ma
jority. The States considered most N
doubt are West Virginia, New York,
Pennsylvania, North Dakota, New Jer-
Sey, Indiana, California, Washington
and Nebraska, conflicting claims being
made in each State. Among Senate Of
ficials the opinion prevails that the
anomalous condition now prevailing Of
a Senate without majority, viii end
with the coming election and that the
legislators then chosen will give as
surance of majority rule in the upper
branch of Congress after March 4th
next.
