The calculations are that the Repub-

the Democratic total vote will show a
loss of about per cent. The probable
tiles are that there will be 80 Repub-

Returns from AT precincts or about

BELONGS TO UNCLE SAM.
Ex-secretary Foster ON tho Disputed
Strip in Alaska.

strip In Alaska.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Ex-Secretary
of State John w. Foster, a member Of
the joint high commission to settle diff
ferences between the United States and
Canada, has prepared summary of
this governments case on the Alaskan
boundary. It was read before the
American Geographical society.
Mr.. Foster reviewed the history of
the negotiations between Russia and
Great Britain and showed Great Brit
ain only sought to prevent the extern
sion of the Russian claims eastward to
the Rocky mountains. The British gov
ernment was then prepared to accept a
boundary line hundred miles from the
coast of the mainland. Great Britain
afterwards succeeded in reducing this
strip to width of ten marine leagues.
Mr.. Foster showed that in 1889, the
Hudson Bay company leased from the
Russian government the very strip in
question, as shown by the Russian
maps, and in 1857, parliamentary
committee examining the head of the
cape brought out the fact that Russian
sovereignty extended 80 nautical miles
inland following the indentations of the
coast.
In 1878, he continued, a provisional
boundary was established by the United
States at the crossing of the Stickeen
river, which follows the present Amer
ican contention, and in 1876, criminal
being tried and convicted, was released
by Canadian courts because his offense
was committed ''in American terri.
tory"
With this as basis, Mr.. Foster made
the following presentation of the Amer
ican position regarding the boundary:
"There is no claim or pretense that
the British authorities or subjects ever
occupied any of the territory now in
dispute, except under the lease cited, or
ever exercised or attempted to exercise
any acts Of sovereignty over the strip
or waters enclosed by it,

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 8.-The Republi-
cans claim that their plurality for
Judge Mash exceeds $4,000, with over
100000 for Jones out of total of less
than 100000. The Republican major
ity in the legislature is larger than
usual, but no senator is to be elected.
Early returns showed Democratic
gains in the larger cities. At the same
time the Republican net gains outside
Cincinnati, Cleveland and Toledo We're
increasing at such a rate as to indicate
plurality of from 10000 to 10000 for
Judge Nash for governor and the ell
tire Republican state ticket including a
majority of the legislature. Chairman
Dick had, previous to- the election,
claimed the election of the entire Re-
publican state ticket by not less than
$4,000 plurality and SO far he has re-
fused to change his figures.
At an early hour Chairman Dick
gave out the following:
THE returns from Hamilton, Cuya-
hoga and Lucas counties are as yet too
meager to give definite figures. Enough
have been received to indicate the cleo
ton of Judge Nash by greater plural
ity than that of Governor Bushnell two
years ago, which was over $4,000. Both
branches of the legislature are Repub-
lican."

A WORLD OF TROUBLE.

Why the Apartment House Manager
Had IL Case Of the Blues.
The manager of the apartment house,
well fed, well featured, well dressed
man, was standing in the main door
way Of his establishment, which, by
the way, is owned by an out Of town
capitalist, who is not the most generous
provider in the world and insists upon
the flat being conducted upon the most
economical lines. The manager was not
happy, however fair he may have ap-
peared to the eye, and he heavcd long
drawn sigh as Il friend approached and
greeted him.
"What's wrong?" inquired the new
comer
'Oh, we've all got our troublesl'
was the vague and lugubrious reply.
"You oughtn t to have any,
"But have, just the same. -
"What, for instance?"
"Well, I'm worried sick because I
haven't got an elevator boy
"Thero shouldn't be any difficulty in
removing that trouble, should say"
"There is I've tried 40 and can t
get ono to suit.
tYou must be very hard to please. "
"It isn't that, sighed the manager.
"I'm all right, but it's this way: The
old man insists on having the elevator
boy wear q uniform, and he f.-rzz.;;c;..ies
it, Uniforms cost money, and when the
last boy retired he left brand new
uniform, and the old man won't get
another. That's the rub. I can find
plenty Of boys Of sufficient intelligence,
ample experience, Industrious habits,
good moral character and fine address,
but I'll be darned if can get one that
the uniform will fit, and there you have
it. Now what the dickens am to do :?

man ?"-Washington Star,

minute OF might survive for several
weeks. though his recovery was impos-
sible.
He spent comfortable day and sat
up in bed, propped up by pillows, for a
long time. The news of the day was
read to him, but he was not allowed to
enter into discussion. He made com-
ments, but when he began to talk at
length on anything his attention was
called to something else.
He saw no one during the day and
sent his regrets to callers.

dent weighed something around 200
pounds. and now he is down to about

LONDON, Nov. S.-Dispatches from
The front have rent the veil of gloom
enveloping Ladysmith, showing the
British garrison not merely standing on
the dogged defensive, but executing q
series of brilliant sorties.
Accounts from different sources agree
that the laconic official description of
Thursdays engagement as IAN effective
shelling Of the Boer laager," was un-
duly modest. 1t appears that General
Sir Stewart White sent a strong force
of cavalry and infantry to attack the
Beers at Latham's farm, about 10 miles
to the northwest, and apparently
achieved a surprise, the Beers being
caught on the open veldt and cut to
pieces and their camp captured. En-

Ladysmith had been isolated and a
Boer force had intercepted the railway
between Ladysnith and Colenso. This
force Friday had descended upon Co

from Estcourt, had compelled hur-
ried abandonment of Colenso and re-
tirement of the British to Estcourt.
General White had ascertained that the
Boers were attacking Colenso, but he
was not aware Of the British retire

For love is life, and life is love.

Would seek to make true love forlorn;

You faunt new loves before my eyes,

You cannot spoil the treasure trove
That love is life, and life is love.
We mortals are compact Of change,
We have thought of wondrous range
For boy and girl, for man and wife,
Yet life is love, and love is life.
Is't well to judge by human skill
What warrant serves true love to kill?
1t stands, through all your ncscient strife,
That life is love, and love is life.

The truth may pierce you like a sword,
