with her The result is said to have
been his famous manifesto OF peace.
Frau Won suttner Is very handsome
woman. with little of the French taste
in dress. She wears white a great deal
as trimming. and her crowns are well
chosen dark ones of the richest stuffs.
She follows the example OF Mrs. Hum
phrey Ward and writes every day,
whether she feels like 1t or moi, and in
that way she manages to turn out a
great deal of work during the year. Her
articles are well paid for by the German
and Russian magazines, and she woke
up one morning to find herself famous.
A large painting of her is now being
prepared by Russian artist to be pre-
scented to the Car for his portrait gal
lery.

Frau Bertha Won suttner Is the popu-

she became the Countess Kllnsky and
removed to Russia to pursue the field of
letters. There she soon made the ac-

charmed the czarlna by declining to
charm the Gear. In other words, she
showed herself to be woman With
woman's heart. and while she knew that
the Gear admired her works and enjoyed
her society she forebode to enter into
any OF the royal flrtatlons which are the
bane OF the royal wives of Europe.

a " Good Radiance"

In an interview with the Spokane
Spokesman RcricW, II. T. Jones, Chair
man Of the Democratic State Central
committee, in speaking of the results
oi the election throughout the country
Tuesday said:
"This j. the end OF fusion in Wash
ington. Hereafter the issue will be
Jcfiersonian Democracy against the
trusts, corporations which DEFY the
laws of the country, and Mark Ianna's
control of the Republican party. There
will be no more single tax rot. Our
party will fight under the banner of
equal taxation for all and special priv
ileges for none, and on these issues it
will win a glorious victory in 1900.
The returns from the country in
general are a sharp rebuke to the adj
ministration Of President Mckinley.
The Republican majority i'll New
York of more than Il quarter OF Il mil
lion votes two years ago has been prac-
tically wiped out, and had Roosevelt
not come 70 the rescue with his war
record popularity, which he won by
dcnouncing Ayers conduct OF the
campaign of Santiago, Jeflersonian
Democracy would have swept the
State. Further evidence of the want
ing popularity of the administration
is had III the severe Republican losses
in Congress. At this hour it appears
that we have captured the House of
Representatives Certainly we have
whitfield down the Republican ma
jority.

A GAS EXPLOSION IN THE NATIONAL
CAPIToL.-A gas explosion which re-
suited in irreparable loss took place in
the subterranean basement of the cap
itol at Washington, on the Sth inst.
The great loss is in the records of the
Supreme Court, stored in the sub-base-
ment, many of which are totally de-
stroyed. Considerable loss results
likewise to the library of the Supreme
Court, Immediately below the court
room, many of the rare volumes being
badly damaged by fire, smoke and wa
ter. The damage to the building runs
into many thousands of dollars, but
that can be repaired.

House, but they are afraid to count too
much even upon that little, for fear
that the official count, necessary to
determine the result in number of
close districts, will leave the Republi-
cans in minority.
When all the circumstances con-
nected with the compaign are taken
into consideration, and the vote cast
is compared with that OF '96 it will
be seen that this weeks elections were
a great triumph for the Democratic
party--a triumph that was really ex-
traorGinary in the face OF the obstacles
which confronted the party. 1t seems
incredible almost that an administra-
ton which had the undivided support
of the country in fighting to Il
triumphant close foreign war should
have so soon forfeited and lost so much
of that support, although all sorts Of
appeals, ranging from patriotism to
cupidity, were used to retain it. If
the Democratic party maintains its
present aggressive attitude, it will
surely win the Presidential election
two years hence.
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, Chair
man oi the Democratic National Com
mittee, does not regard the election of
Roosevelt as IL serious loss to the Dem
ocracy OF the country. On the con-
trary, he talks as though he believed
it would be decidedly beneficial. He
says the Democratic leaders in New
York went astray on the party plat
form and that he regards the defeat OF
the party in that State as the legiti-
mate reward of straddlers and piece
meal politicians. There are many
other Democrats who are not sorry
that the party failed to carry New
York. some for one reason and some
for another, but the most of them be.

Wyck had been elected Governor, Mr..

troll the National convention, in 1900,
and that such attempts bring nothing
but injury to the party.
There were several surprising things
connected with the testimony OF Gen.
Lawton, who commanded division
OF Skaters army, in the Santiago
campaign, which WAS taken by SIN
Gle member OF the mmis>ion-Col.
DENLY. His testimony, as whole
did not square with things he had said
to Gen. Miles, and which Miles had
repeated to others, and he has said
since teStiiying that he did not tell
some things lac knew. All these
have resulted in determination to
give LawtOn another chance to 'estiiy
when the whole Commission will b.
present. Capt. Clark Howell, Of the
Commission, is said to have infOrma-
ton that will enable him to make the
cross examination OF Lawton interest
ing. Some other interesting things
are likely to be uncovered by the Com
mission, now that the administration
does not feel called upon to keep them
quiet for fear of their effect upon the
elections. individuals who thought
they were to be permanently protected
by the administration are likely to be
found guilty of shortcomings and
punished therefor. The report of Gen
Miles, now in the hands of Secretary
Alger, ought to be interesting reading
TO the Commission, if it really wishes
to get at the bottom Of things. 1t
contains some pointers that would not
have to be followed very far by the
Commission before pay-dirt would he

An Extra Session of Congress.

/ he situation l. such that II l. llGt
regarded rs possible for all the que
tions that are crowding for settlement
to hc disposed OF during this short SIS
SION ~ Congress, and il j. almost a
certainty that the Fiitv->iXth Congress
will hc called into extra session next
spring. The Republicans will then
have large enough ma jOrity in the
senate to insure the carrying ont OF
the policy OF the administration IN
spite of the possibility OF two or three
! Republican Senators not being in SYM
lathy with it, and the Republican ma
ioritv in the House j. strong enough
to enable the enactment Oi legislation
desired. II II treaty of peace with

ing it, coming session, it viii be with
confidence ON the part OF the admins
traton oi its ratification, but it is 10y
no means certain that the treaty will
he prepared in time for action 10y the
present Senate.
The belief is that the ratification
OF the treaty and practically all the
sequence of the acquisition Of territory
by the United States will go over to
the extra session OF the Fiity-siXth
Congress, most OF the time of the
coming session OF this Congress being
taken up with the appropriations and
routine matters.
On account of the instability of the
Republican control of the Senate in
this session, it is doubtful whether
even the legislation affecting the per-
manent increase of the army will be
accomplished, if, indeed, it is at
tempted.
The administration cannot appre-
bend much difficulty in the next
House Of Representative ON account
of the reduced majority, since the
issues in the campaign just closed
were sharply defined, and there is no
opportunity for the existence OF an
anti-administration faction in the Re
publican party Of the House.

IT seems the average voter never
will get accustomed to the Australian
ballot. Caution as you will, explain
details rs you may, there is some small
joker on which some people are sure
to trip up and defeat the object of the
ballot, free and full expression OF the
will of the voter. 1t is said and made
one of the grounds of contest in this
county that some voters who placed a
cross opposite the name of Col. Lewis
meant to have placed it opposite the
party name and thus vote for all the
nominees on the ticket. 1t is said
that enough votes of this nature were
thus counted to wipe out the small
margin which awarded the certificate
in at least two cases. \ recount OF the
ballot will disclose the fact as to wheth-
er this has been done or not. Many
seem to think it probable that certain
voter wished to simply cast opium
rers" for Lewis, and considering that
gentleman's prominence and the
friends made by the malevolence OF
his enemies, the belief is not without
solid grounds for foundation.
