Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1899-10-06

AFTER reading the description of army and
navy officers uniforms prescribed for official
occasions, of the 'court" dress that is sane
toned by some of the high officials of the gov
ernment, and Of the 'stye' that officials of
low degree affect, one is led to conclude that
what this country needs, officially, about as
bad as anything, is little common sense and
little Jeffersonian simplicity. y.-Overbrook

show that the idea of the siege train

The statement from LadySmith that
the British guns do not reply to the
Boer artillery because the concrete beds
FOR the British guns have not yet hard
ened is interpreted in some quarters TO
mean simply that the British are hus-
banding their ammunition, as the Boer
tlre is only trick to get the British to
waste shells.
Among the few items that have arriy-
ed from the Cape today is one saying
that the Beers are planting more guns
IN the hills surrounding Ladysmith. All
the correspondents in the beleaguered
town are safe and anxious to reopen
communication.
The latest advices from Kimberley
dated November 2nd say that all was
well there then. An explosion had been
heard, and the superstition was that the
Beers had blown up the railway culvert
south of Dronfield.

AGUINALDO'S NEW BASE.
Washington, Nov. 10-Interest is
felt in the War Department over Agui-
naldo's sudden change of base north
eastward from Tarlac to BayOmbOng,
about 70 miles distant There are num-
erous spellings Of the latter place, but
the form given is the one most generally
adhered to on the maps in the possession
of the War Department. The most in
teresting feature of the new situation
is that Aguinaldo has been forced out
of the Tagalo county into a region
north where Tagal0 is not spoken and
where the mountains are fled with
Negritos and other savage tribes who
are hostile to the Tagalos.
To the southwest base of CarabellO
mountain there is a break in the noun
tain range and within few miles
around the base of Carabeilo mountain
on it's northern slope one strikes the
head waters of the great Cagayam
river that flows northward $50 miles
into the China sea. 1t Is on the head
waters of the Magat that Aguinaldo is
now located The way is open for him
down the long stretch of river to Aparri
at the mouth of the Cagayan where it
flows into the sea. This is one of the
widest but richest valleys in the is
land 1t is believed that the river Caga-
yam is navigable for our tin-elad gum
boats $50 miles from its mouth and
for cascOes much further. lit is eN-
pected as soon as Aguinaldo shows any
disposition to move down the valley to-
ward the China sea that the warships
and gunboats will be sent round the
northern end of the island 10 meet him
and shut off his escape
If it is his intention to escape from
Luzon he would naturally seek Aparri
or some northern port, but the country
around Carabello mountain is such that
he could probably stand off the whole
American force in a game of hide and
seek in the hills for the greater part
of the coming season.

GoEBEL's VOTE INCREASED.

GOEBEL'S VOTE INCREASED.
FraASfort KY, Nov. 10.-The Demo
cratic State Campaign committee with
score of clerks, is busy tonight tabu-
lating returns as telegraphed from the
various county canvassing boards. Sew
eral counties are still out, and in "a num-
ber of those heard from today, the coun-
ty boards will meet again tomorrow to
pass on contested ballots which may ma
terially affect the result.
The members of the committee claim
that Goebel's vote was slightly in
creased by the official count today, and
still claim his election by at least 1000.
The committee declines ITO give the
vote by counties as received by it, and
on which the claim of Goebels election
is based. 1t is conceded on all hands
here that the result will not be definitely
ascertained for at least two days, and
that no matter which candidate may he
declared elected, the Legislature will
finally have to settle contest which is
certain to be Instituted for possession of
the office.
Reports received tonight by the
Courier-Journal from counties where the
official count was completed today show
in most cases slight changes from the
unofficial figures. In few important
instances however, the changes favor the
Republicans. Leslie county, in the
Eleventh district, which was not includ-
ed at all in the table last night, which
gave Goebel plurality of 971 in the
State, is reported tonight as having
given Taylor a plurality of 962 votes on
the official count. Kenton county, (which
figured in last nights table with 2493
plurality for Goebel, is reduced to about
2,100 Oldham county's Goebel plurali-
ty, official comes SO instead of 1S5 as
reported last night. In number OF
counties there are slight changes, each
candidate profting.
Reports to the Commercial (Republi-
cam up to midnight, show gains of 561
for Goebel and 36S for Taylor, on
changes from the unofficial returns.
