Charkes-RepubiIcan Threats.

Frankfort, KY, Nov. 1.-THE
democratic campaign committee,
with q score or clerks, is busy to-
night tahulating the returns as tele-
graphed from the various county
canyassing boards today. Several
counties are still out and in a num-
Der of those heard from today the
county boards will meet again to-
morrow to pass on contested ballots
which may materially affect the re-
suit.
The democratic committee claims
that Goebel's vote will slightly be In
creased by the official count in the
counties today and still claim bis
election by at least 1000, The COM
mittee declines to give out the vote
by counties as received by it and on
which the claim of Goebel's election
is based. 1t is contended on all sides
here that the result will not be defin-
itely ascertained for at least two days
and that no matter which candidate
may be declared elected the legisla-
ture will finally have to settle a con-
test, which is certain to be instituted,
for possession of the office.

suppo.inE the AK Had Fallen,

Some years ago an inquisitive med
ical student. while examining the gull
lotine in n big waxworks exhibition in
London, took it into his head that the
sort of yoke which fits down on the
shoulders of the criminal to hold him
In his place would not be sufficient to
confine person who struggled.
His curiosity on that point led him
to watch till the place was empty.
when he actually put himself in, let
ting down the yoke. He soon found,
however, that he was quite unable ~
lift it. and it at once flashed into his
mind that the sharp ak suspended over
his neck might not be firmly fixed. or IL
would fall, as it should. with touch.
He was afraid to struggle lest the
shaking should bring it down and at
once deposit his head in the basket OF
sawdust below him, into which his
eyes were of necessity steadily look
ing.
Having staid some time in this
plight. he was overjoyed to hear the
approach of a visitor, whom he i'm
plored to release him. 1t was in vain
'T'm thinking" said the gentleman,
a Scottish visitor TO the metropolis
to his wife, that he must be hired tc
show how the thing acts, and think
we'd better not interfere"
So the luckless student was left till
one Of the attendants came in and
made fast the ak before releasing him
from his predicament. The ak was
afterward removed and laid by the
side Of the structure to prevent future
accidents.

1t is my opinion based on information
derived from my connection with the
subject of American relations that
we will hear very little about expan-
sion and Imperialism a year hence.
There is a good reason to believe the
Philippines will be disposed of, OF
practically SO, before the next nat

A GREAT CANAL SYSTEM.
Venezuela Considering a Plan foI

Venezuela is seriously considering the

HOW THE czARowITz DIED.
His Last Moment Described by the
Peasant Anna Dassoteyyn.

London, Aug. 6.-Anna Dassojewa. the
peasant woman OF Abbas Tuman, who saw
the Czarowitz pass away. furnishes a most
affecting narrative of his end. II appears
that the Czarowitz's motor tricycle. was go-
ing at a great pace when he caught up to
cart in which wss the milkwoman. Das-
sojewo. The Czarowitz signaled, and the
cart drew aside to let him pass. The Caro-
witz bowed, smiled, and proceeded. Ten
minutes later the woman noticed the Caro-
WITT returning very slowly. The story, best
related in her own simple way, is as fol-
lows:

The Silver Issue.

The most recent utterance OF former
Governor Altgeld on the subject of silver's
place in the next Presidential struggle
will rank well among the small political
surprises of the day. Aitgeld asserts that
silver at sixteen to one is not TO be
paramount Democratic issue. 1t win be an
issue, however. because no one in the party
OF the people would for moment think Of
eliminating silver from the platform or
reIegating it TO a subordinate place 1t
will not command the interest it did in
1886 for obvious reasons. The country has
become to some extent a creditor nation,
ana the result, which may be temporary
OF otherwise. is that there is a much
larger volume OF currency circulating
through the arteries of trade than was the
case few years ago.
All that bimetallists ask for is enough
money TO serve the purposes Of society
Just now the supply CT gold is compare
lively good in the United States, and
there is a scarcity in some other places.
Next year. or two or three years hence,
the flow may be in some other direction
and We may experience another metallic
currency famine While times are good
and the balance of trade is largely in our
favor, the majority of people will be more

available sources OF relief have been closed

II is apparent, as Mr.. Altgeld says, that,
at present. the masses are thinking more
about trust and protective tariff oppres-
sions than they are about the currency,
and those are the living issues most like
" to be in the lead in 1906 Circumstances
tend to obscure the question Of silver for
the moment, but it is not a dead one. II
