Democratic State Ticket Elected BE-
yOnd Doubt
Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 5.-Arkansas to-
day elected a full corps of state officers,
100 members of the lower house of the leg
islature, sixteen state senators, local off,
GERS in each of the seventy-five counties,
and voted on the adoption of two impor-
tant constitutional amendments as well
as the question of liquor license in the
different counties.
The Democratic state ticket, headed by
Dan w. Jones, is undoubtedly elected, the
only question of doubt being the size of
the Democratic plurality.
The vote on the two constitutional
amendments is in doubt One of these pro-
vides for the creation by the legislature
of a railroad commission, and the other
for the levying of a tax of mills for road
purposes.
In Little Rock there was no contest Of
much importance, and election day at the
capital was extremely quiet.

of surprise has been felt by officers and
civilians alike at the action of the war
department in ordering away half of the

summer here and all preparatio made
for sending the troops TO Cuba.
While Gen. Lee is reticent on the sub

and indignant that such should be done
after the most positive assurances were
given to him at Washington that the corps
would go to Cuba.

which has been ordered mustered out, it
is said that this action was taken without
the knowledge of the Governor of Vir-

Second desired 10 stay in, while it was
the Fourth Virginia that was most anx-
ious to be mustered out.
