they only met with repulse and
defeat.
And so this people lived and
died in little world OF their own,
with their own little troubles and
trials, Just as we nave in this great
world OF ours. They loved their
King. But the day came when the
couriers ceased to come and go,
and the King no longer sent them
money. What had become OF hImS
No one seemed to know. And
these people were left without
King, for with the wars that fol
lowed the city was lost. Years
passed. The barracks were de-
serted; the Kings guns were aban-
doned; the cannon tell from their
carriages, and lay vine covered and
useless. The drum major laid
aside his drum and grew old won-
dering why the time never came
tor him to beat the reveille again.
But he never knew, for he was laid
away to rest by the side of the old
church before the troubled times of
new era dawned. AT last there
was government able to turn its
attention to these lost children.
The Indian President Of Guate-
mala, Rafael Carrera, had driven
out Morazan, while the Mayas Of
Yucatan were 6ercely carrying on
their war of exterminating the
Spanish speaking people there,
and SO Carrera's government
turned to the Lost City, and sent
a commission with Carrera's sol
diers to establish fhe new order Of
things there.

Who viii Certainly be
Renublican.

Wilmington. Del, Nov, 9.-Detailed
returns from Kent and Sussex counties
were not received until late this morn
ing. but they were sufficient to show
that the next legislature of this state
is Republican on joint ballot. This eff
fectually precludes the possibility Of
Senator George Gray being his own
successor.
While some districts are so close that
they may possibly change present es-
Inmates, one Democratic representative
being elected by q plurality Of only 3
and several by pluralities Of less than
Is, there is not a possibility of affecting
the Republican majority on joint ballot
The control of the state senate by the
Democrats will prevent any partisan
legislation by the Republican major
ity. even without respect to the veto
power of Governor Tunnel, who is a
Democrat.
According to complete returns from
the state, with the exception of few
districts. the next legislature win stand
as follows.

A prohibitionist in Illinois.

Chicago, Nov. 9.--Returns from every
county in the state indicate the election
of Whittemore, Republican, for state
treasurer by a plurality of nearly 80
COO The majority for other Republican
candidates will probably exceed that for
Whittemore. Enough legislative re-
turns have been received to show that
the lower house will be Democratic by
about six votes and the senate Repub-
lican by about II votes. In Cook coun-
ty aside from congressman, the entire
Republican ticket, with possibly one
or two exceptions, was elected by plu
ralitles ranging from 5000 to 5000. The

them to elect a Republican successor to
United states Senator Murphy, Demo-
crat. The assembly is Republican by
plurality of at least rs. The Republi
cans claim So assembymen against 60
Democratic.
Every condition was favorable to the
polling of full vote in all parts of the
state. In this city there was no fulfill
ment of predictions of trouble at the
polls. The state deputies, authorized by
act of the last legislature, were most in
evidence in the east side districts,
where the cheap lodging houses are
located. The number of arrests made
was below rather than beyond the
usual record of a general election, and
in many cases the occasion was found
to be in the carelessness Of registration
clerks. Fights at the polls were few and
easily quelled. There was no friction
between deputies and police, one lend
ing assistance TO the other in the pres
ervation of order.
All Colonel Roosevelt's associates on
the Republican state ticket are
elected with him. The returns both
from greater New York and from the
are incomplete, but enough have been
received to indicate a heavy falling off
in the vote up the state, while the vote
in the city was well sustained. The con
sequence is a falling off in the Repub-
lican plurality in the state from $4,000
to the Appropriated figures given
above. Outside of greater New York the
vote for Van Wyck is only about one
fifth of one per cent. above that of
Porter in 1896. There appears to be
