ocratic-A Running Story of Election


At 1 o'clock a. m. Indications are that
the republicans have made substantial
gains in majority of the states in
which elections We're held Tuesday. In
three states-Ohio, Nebraska and Ken
tucky-there Is still some doubt, with
the chances very favorable to the re-
publicans. Nash for governor is ap-
parently leading, though the vote for
Jones. which seems to be considerable
in few districts and of little conse-
quencc in others, makes comparisons
cinnati and Toledo is hard to estimate.
but if they equal the ratio maintained
In the rest of the state Judge Nash, re-
publican, will be safely elected. AT this
hour there is every reason for claiming
the state for the republicans by good
plurality. Any plurality in the state
great victory. Ohio Is generally ex-
pected to go democratic in off years.
The fight has been most bitter and both
sides have confidently claimed the
state by good pluralities. The vote for
Jones, independent, Is surprisingly
small SO far as heard from. Returns
from $40 precincts outside Of Cincin-
natl. Cleveland and Toledo give Nash,
republican, 47.629; Mclean, democrat,
1890: and Jones, independent, GLIB.
This ratio maintained will give the re-
publicans safe plurality. The same
precincts in 1897 gave Bushnell, repub-
lican, 1924: Chapman, democrat, 49,
795.
Massachusetts, the hot-bed Of imperi-
alism, goes republican by plurality of
at least $1,000, in spite Of Atkinson,
Hoar and a host of Aguinaldos allies.
Iowa supports the administration by
a handsome plurality. The most san
guine expectations Of the party manag
ers have been realized and Governor
Shaw is endorsed and reelected by a
plurality estimated at not less than 5O.
600.
Nebraska may be said to be in doubt
The vote Is very close. Neither side
comedies defeat and it may take the Of
fetal vote to determine the contest. The
republicans only claimed fighting
chance there, while the fusion forces
made the greatest efforts to carry the
state for Bryan.
Kentucky Is still in doubt, with the
chances apparently favorable to the
democrats and Goebel. Republicans do
not concede the state, but the indica-
tions are favorable to the democrats.
Retrns are coming in slowly.
In New Jersey the entire republican
ticket is elected.
New York city was a surprise to the
democrats. Returns show the eelctipn
of large number of republican assem-
blymen where 1t was supposed there
was not even fighting chance.
Outside of Kentucky and Nebraska.
both OF which are in doubt, 1t Is evident
that the republicans have swept every
thing before them. On the whole the
party and administration has been en-

Germany's interests in South Africa
demand peace and well ordered con-
ditions, while the progress of her
colonization schemes in other parts of
the globe greatly depend upon her
amicable relations with Great Britain.
Austria's internal politics are more
diSquieting than. ever. The ultra
Mountains are taking a new lease of
life and are joining hands with the
Czech mobS in venting their fury on
the Jews.
Spain seems almost ripe for an in

preaching meeting of parliament may
result in the overthrow of her ministry
for the socialists were never stronger

Russia, Of course, is an unknown
factor, but if it is true. as stated. that
she some months ago came to an
understanding with Great Britain re-
garding spheres of influence in China,
it is scarcely likely that she will talks

FRIARS CONTROL GUAM.
Captain Leary Has Ordered Them
from the Island.

New York, Oct. ga special to the
World from Washington says; Mail adj
vices from Manila throw light upon the
situation at Guam. and explain why
Captain Leary, the naval governor, mas
suggested the ACCESSIBILITY of strength
ening the force there.
Captain Leary has ordered the friars
to quit the island With the injunction
never to return. lie is said to have
discovered that the friars exercised al
most absolute CONTROL of the govern
ment Natives were dependent upon
the friars for their education, 1t is said
in explanation, and when any of their
were controlled. Officials of the gov
eminent were selected from educated
natives. so that the friarS are said to
have practically owned Guam. Other
charges are made against the friarS,
all of which influenced Captain Leary
to the action.
According to the adviceS received, the
natives are pleased with the advent OF
the Americans, and are delighted with
Captain Leary's administration. at the
tune of the departure from Guam or
the steamer Nansan, which brought
this report to Manila, the friars had
packed up, it is said, and Captain
Leary had transportation ready for
them.
A few days ago the navy department
ordered battalion of marines to Ma
Mia, ard it was said in that connection
that Captain Leary at Guam had deem
ed it advisable to strengthen his guard,
and that marines would be available at
Manila for Guam if needed.

MEXICANS CAPTURE INDIANS.
Number of Yaquis Taken Prisoners
and Many More Killed.

Austin, Tex, Oct. 2S.-Infornation
was received here today from Ortiz,
state of Sonora, Mexico, stating that a
detachment of Mexican troops had ar
rived there, having in charge twenty
five Yaqui Indian prisoners, whom they
were taking to Guayamas to be placed
in prison pending a settlement of the
war Hitherto the Mexican forces have
given out the information that they
were taking no prisoners, nor would
they take any, as they proposed to
kill the Indians as fast as they came
upon them. The fact that they brought
in twenty-five today, however, evil
dences the fact that they intend to take
prisoners.
1t is reported that these prisoners
were captured in a skirmish with In
dams near Sahuaripa, Mex, during
which several Mexican soldiers were
wounded. 1t is also reported that two
were killed and one or two taken pris-
oners by the Indians.
Immediately following this skirmish,
which was somewhat in the nature of a
surprise party to the Indians, the main
body of Indians retreated to the noun
tains northwest of Sahuaripa and are
now hiding in the mountain Businesses.
Judging from present indications
there will be no fighting for some time,
as this skirmish has driven the Indians
back in the mountains, and in addition
to the number of the warriors captured
it is rumored that fully as many more
Indians were killed. which has served
to rather demoralize them for the time

CHINESE TELEGRAPHY.
Why the Art Does Not Develop In
the Land of the Pigtail.

AS the Chinese language is not alphabet
ic, and as each word in it is represented
by a. special character, none of the tee
graphic systems generally in use can be
employed in China. Usually each charac-
ter is represented by a number. and it is
this number which has never more than
four figures. that is transmitted.

forty-mtne pages has been established each
page having ten columns OF twenty char
acLers, so that $3.50 characters are dls-
posed of, all the words commonly used are

An obstacle in the way of the develop

that, In spite of the fatalistic spirit Of the
Chinese and their Indifference to death,

New York, Oct. 2S.-Sir Louis Davies,
K. c. NJ. G., Canadian minister of
fisheries and marine who went to Eng
land three weeks ago to place Canada's
views on the Alaskan boundary ques-
ton before the British government, ar

With him We're Under Secretary of
State Joseph Pope, Chief Astronomer
w. F. King, who surveyed the line for
Canada and Secretary Godron. Sir
Louis Davies said to a reporter:
Il cannot speak at length about the

was confidential. As has been pub
lished, a temporary arrangement has
been agreed upon and in 50 far as it
will prevent local friction, it is salts

taken TO mean anything but that Great
Rrir-ain regards the TranSvaal reverted
TO her direct sovereignty.
Another interesting point OF the
speech was that the war was REFERRED
to as military operations"
The attitude of the foreign powers
provides an unfailing source OF COM
ment and contradictory reports The
virulent and persistent abuse OF Great
Britain by the continental press gives
rise to the fear that, in spite OF ofhclal
denials. Russia and France intend TAX
ing advantage of the South African
troubles.
on the other hand it is pointed out
that the czarewich is making a long
and friendly visit to England, while
France is devoting her energies to make
the Paris exposition a success.
German Interference improbable.
German interference seems scarcely
probable in view of the emperor's ex-
pected visit TO England, while Austrian
neutrality has several times been semi
officially voiced and the sultan had
stepped into the breach by sending a
telegram to the Turkish embassy in
London, after hearing Of the capture
of the squadron of the Eighteenth Hus-
sars, saying it was a great sorrow to
him and that he only regretted that he
could not come to the aid of his friends,
the English.
The coneensus Of the best opinion, as
gained by representatives of the Asso-
ciated Press, inclined to the belief that
the rumors Of European Intervention
are merely a we'll developed scare TO
which Great Britain has often been
subjected with less warrant for it upon
many previous occasions.
II is patent that the internal affairs
of the other European countries are
scarcely in a condition to warrant ~
reference. France has the conspiracy
trials and the exposition on her hands.
The former is not serious enough to de-
mand war as advertisements and the
latter is doomed 10 ruin the minute she
is involved in a conflict
