e,sff. Heretofore accommodating parties
have returned from that hazardous duty
with only roughly sketched map showing
the general distribution Of the Boer lines.
II Is hoped here that these will now be
superseded by photos. more accurate and
secured ct less danger, the tele-photo lens
not necessitatine such near approach 10
the enemy. a..
The main objection TO the plan is the
time occupied In developing the photos and
this is said to have been overcome by
Toulkes' method. al during the trials he
mas prints ready several minutes after
taking the pictures. Foulkes carries his
entire equipment In his own and his or
tieriy's BICYCLES. The camera Is a simple
looking AFFAIR, for handiwork, but Ii Is
flttei with the most expensive scientific
devices. The few military experts who
know the object OF Foulkes' mission are
looking forward with keen Interest to the
spectacle OF battle plans being formed on
photographs taken, developed and printed
at the furthest outpost, probably within
easy range OF the Boers.
Foulkes carries Mauser. revolver
ana carhine. He previously experimented
with this class Of photography while serv-
ing in Sierra Leone in the HuttaS expeui-
ton, securing results on which the war
office has now sent him TO South Africa.

AT TAYLOR.

Taylor. Texas. November lo.--Hon. j.
w, Bailey spoke at the opera house here
last night to very large audience. The
house was full to its comfortable capacity
and his hearers paid the closest attention
for more than two hours TO a clear and
forcible discussion of the political prob
lens of the lay. In his discussion he
arraigned Senator Chiffon on charge that
the latter advocated colonial government.
declaring he had given expression TO this
policy at the convention in Galveston last
year. He gave Mr. Hoggs friend several
pretty hard raps.i and left it question
in the minds OF his hearers whether Sena-
tor Chilton's views were such as TO render
Il safe to entrust him with the fortunes
of democracy in the senate.
Mr.. Bailey received large number OF
callers at his room at the hotel yester-
day afternoon. He said to The Post corre-
sppndent that the democratic party had
nothing to feel discouraged over in the
recent elections, and that when the final
count was made he had no doubt it would
reveal the fact that Kentucky was safely
democratic.

IN HILL COUNTY.

Practically Won.

Hillsboro Texas, November 1-There
are large number of candidates in the
race for next year, and the indications are
that the democratic executive committee
of Hin county will place the ames of all
the candidates before the ieople in the
primary election. The primary conven-
tlon move Is not popular in this section
for they are but slightly attended, do not
express the choice of the masses aud are
always productive of wrangling.
From the expressions of the leading citi.
Zens over the county it is evident that
Bailey will defeat Chiffon by large ;na-
jority. In the estimation of The masses
Bailey stands shoulder to shoulder with
Bryan. and they say Bryan AMI Bailey
have fought the battles of icmocracy as
no others could or would
Bailey's convention speech at Galveston
expressed the views of the peor 10 exactly,
and many look upon Chiltons position Of
holding Cuba and Porto Rico and freeing
the philippines to be nothing less than an
able effort to straddle the question of i'm
perialism and a colonial policy.

gresham from the Eighth district. came
In this morning and spent several hours
with his friends.
He was seen by Post representative,

ically, nor to be quoted as to forecast
on congressional matters.
However, he was of the opinion that the
coming session would determine the future
foreign policies of this government as they
relate to the Philippines, Cuba, Porto Rico
and Hawaii. He also thought that the
trusts and the money questions would
come In for an exhaustive discussion by the
forthcoming congress. As to what DISPOSE
ton would be made OF these very impur-
tant matters he did not wish to express an
opinion.

Both Sides Figure Out IA Majority for
fetal Count Progressing slowly.

Louisville, KY, November 1.-THE
second day of the official count has dis
closed no startling changes from the I'M
official figures. Both sides still claim the
State though the democratic estimate was
somewhat reduced today. Reports from
over ninety of the 119 counties give Goe-
bel plurality of a little over 1000 votes
on the official count. The democratic
unofficial reports from the remaining
counties show enough Taylor pluralltles
to wipe this out and leave margin for
the republican candidate. Much depends.
however, upon contests being made in
several counties on the ground OF alleged
Irregularities The determination OF
these points may cause change from
present estimates of tine results
The official count has shown that the
two candidates for governor ran far ahead
of their ticket all over the State. Goebel
is leading it by an average of over twenty
FIVE votes to the county.
In Greyson county. whore the demo-
cratic vote was strong he leads the ticket

Taylor appears to be leading his ticks.
by an even greater vote than Goebel. In
Grayson county Taylor leads over Mar
shall, the candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor' by l5i votes, In Taylor county
Goebel leads his ticket by ifty-ave and
Taylor by thirty-five.
IN this city good progress was made
with the count today with very slight
changes 1t win require several days 10
