Indications Point to the Election of the Entire Republican State Ticket and Many of
 the County Officers.

Morris defeated Hard for Justice by fully eght hundred Gray and Clark are elected Constables, but the latter dropped considerably behind his ticket.
 w nile intense interest was mani fested in the election here to-day. there was not single instance of ported from the thirteen polling places. The claim made by the chairman of the county committee of the Unionists that there were TOO illegal voters on the Ala meda precinct registers was not substan- tiated. There was no evidence of stuffing and but very little challenging. The cleo ton laws were obeyed to the letter
 The peculiar feature of the contest was the fact that in no case was concen- trated effort made by the partisans of the different parties to boost their entire ticket. Invariably the workers had se- lected some faVorite nominee and were devoting their attention to his success. Democratic candidate for County Clerk had numerous representatives, while only in isolated cases was anything being done for his opponent, Frank c. Jordan
 The Republicans devoted their atten- tons to the SupervisOrial contests. Act ing on the theory that Alameda is nor mally three to one Republican, they aI- itself

COMBATING THE TsETsE FLY.

COmI0AIlNd IL
 All have heard of the ravages of the terrible tsetse fly of Africa, which is so fatal to cattle and horses that none of these animals can approach with inn punity the so-called 'flybelt" where the dreaded insects congregate. This belt commences about 100 miles from the coast, and extends for about the same distance up country. and the re- Inducements recently sent to Uganda to quell the mutiny which broke out among the Soudanese troops were com pelled to cross it. In order to protect their ponies two officers of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers hit upon the device of dressing the animals up in specially constructed garments, which gave them a most comical appearance, re- sembling the pantomimic creatures seen on the stage at Christmas time.
 First the ponies were swathed in bands of straw, on the top of which came coat and trousers of cloth dipped in oil and iodoform. It was necessary thus to raise the material from actual contact from the hide of the animals, for the tsetse fly can pierce ordinary cloth. It will be interesting to learn whether the ponies thus protected went unscathed through the terrible fly belt" for the experimental clothing, If effectual, may lead to the introduc- ton of some material which may come into regular employment for the same object-Chambers' Journal.

of the Senate, it contains at present A Republicans, 34 Democrats, 5 Populists, Silverites nd<1 Independent. Classified as gold and silver men, the body stands equally divided-45 to 45. A more fitting classification, however, gives the sil- verites majority of ten on any test question in which the financial princi- pies of the Democratic party are in- volved. It is possible that after the 4th of March, 1899, the silver men will be in the minority.
 The House of Representatives in the present Congress has a Republican majority of f1fty-f1ve In all. This large majority will be reduced by the result of to-day's voting. but Speaker Reed will be reelected and have a majority of members with him.
 The losses sustained in Illinois, Indi- ana and Kentucky have surprised the Repubncan leaders. In this city, on the face of the returns at 123O o'clock this Wednesday, morning, the Demo- crats have elected Johnson in the Sec ond, Cusack in the Fourth, Noonan in the Fifth and Hoechster in the Seventh districts, but by majorities so small that the official count may be necessary to determine the results.

BERKELEY. Nov. S-Nothing of im- portance marked the polling to-day in the university town. Interest centered chiefly at Berkeley station, in the busi- ness portion of the city, where the high est vote was reached The struggle be- tween Charles Spear and A. K Grim candidates for County Recorder, became most acute there. The independent candi- date s supporters made this their strong hold. and boiled a heavy vote in his favor.
 In the outlying precincts everything re- mained very quiet throughout the entire day The members of the Gage Club of the University of California worked hard for their party in securing a full represen- tatlon of students at the polls
 Many of the students returned to their own homes to cast their votes Center street, by Berkeley station, was thronged with hundreds of people till a very late hour tonight watching the election re, turns come in.

the best ever in Rich Hill and their

concerned. II the democrats down

case, the vacancy in the Butler bar,
by the election of Hon. W. w.

will return to Rich Hill in due time,

their removal They all come back.
