THE activity of the War Department is something marvellous. Secretary Root has more than fulfilled the pre- dictions of his friends. There is no more timidity shown, but an aggressive forward movement, which is en- couraging to all friends of the adminis- tration No one in Washington doubts but that the plans. which are now being laid, will result in a settlement of the Philippine question before the first of the year.

Such thing as famine in iron and steel production five years ago would have been laughed at by the most experi- enced buyers.

THE administration is evidently not going to rely entirely on General Otis advice. He has said that with 3O,0OO troops he c,uld bring the war to close. The Secretary of War has already made arrangements to send him 5O,OO0 by the first of October, while the new regiments recently authorized will swell the total up some five to ten thousand more. Evidently, the present Secretary of War is not afflicted with a case of too much" confidence in Otis, As was to be expected, the presence of the rainy season in the Philippines has enabled the insurgents to recuperate and increase their supplies of men and arms. The reports show that in Negros and Cebu the insurrection is growing in strength. The wisdom of the present Secretary in doing his own thinking and not accepting the reports of Otis, is thus made manifest.

OHIO.

Chairman Dick early Wednesday morn
ing issued the following statement: The
returns from Hamilton, Cuyahoga and
Lucas counties are yet too meager to give
definite figures. Enough has been receiv-
ed, however, to indicate the election of
Judge Nash by an increase over the plu-
rality Of Gov. Bushnell. Thus the cleo
ton of the entire State ticket and both
branches of the Legislature is assured"
The complexion Of the General Assembly
will not be materially changed. The cleo
ton Of the fourteen members of the Dem
ocratic- fusion legislative ticket in Hamil-
ton County is conceded by the Republic
can committee. To offset this they claim
the election of four Representatives in
Franklin, two in Lucas and ONE each IN
Hooking, Vinton, Knox, Adams and Pike.
The Senate is claimed for the Repubh-
cans. 1t was known that Mayor Sam
Jones Of Toledo would cut considerable
figure, but it was hard to figure out just
how much or into whose preserves he
would cut the most. In addition there
was a factional quarrel between Repub-
licans and Democrats in nearly every
bailiwick. With all the Topping around
no one could figure out to whom the bal
ance would be credited when the clear
ance was made. Judge Nash, Republican,
came out on the top. Jones swept every
thing in Cuyahoga County. Cleveland did
more for him than his home town of To-
ledo, which went for Nash.

NEW YORK.

Election results in New York State can
be summed in a few words. The Demo
crafts carry Greater New York, and the
Republicans win upstate. Greater New
York is carried by the Democrats by ma
jorities ON the local tickets, running in the
four counties which average about $1,000.
The Republicans retain control of the
Assembly, and have probably increased
their majority in the lower house from
"a to "a. The Republicans made gains
in Kings and all through the country
counties. Robert Mazet, Republican
chairman of the investigating committee,
was beaten by Perez M. Stewart, citi-
zens union, and Tammany, in the nine
teenth district in New York City. This
has been the storm center of the cam
paign in New York. Mazet is defeated
by 1913 votes. Mazet may contest the
election of Stewart. Judge George c.
Barrett received practically every vote
cast. James A. O'Gorman, for the Su-
preme Court, defeated Joseph f. DAILY,
the fusion candidate, by about $4,000.
William f. Grell, the Tammany candi-
date for sheriff, is elected over William
J. O'Brien, the candidate of the indepen-
dent labor party, the Republicans and
the citizens union, and notwithstanding
the fact that O'Brien was distinctively a
trades union candidate he ran about 5000
behind his ticket.

all over the State. Men were bodily
thrown out of election booths and never
were such scenes witnessed at the polls
as occurred Tuesday throughout the
State. Militia was in the armory at Lex
ington all day, and the same thing pre-
vailed at Louisville. Hundreds of extra
policemen We're on duty throughout the
State and business was almost completely
suspended. The most remarkable cam
paign ever known in the State ended as
many predicted.

with decreased majorities. Barnett's
majority for State Treasurer will reach
100000, about Is. 900 less than that given

Did Hypnotic Tricks.

At P1atteviMe, two small boys were
playing hypnotist tricks. One little fell
low consented to have a stone broken
on his breast, the other boy using an Ak
to break it with. The hypnotic subject
held the stone in place with his hands
and ss result had the third finger OF
his left hand cut completely off and two
others nearly severed. The children were
about 10 years old and their actions were
prompted by enthusiasm over hypnouc
entertainment which has been there
week.
