of the republican state ticket, and an
unusually large majority in both
branches of the legislature.
Cincinnati, Nov. S.-UnofficiaI returns

including Cuyahoga, Lucas, Hamilton
and Franklin. give Nash a plurality
over Mclean of 4S,973. Fourteen coun-

LORD MAYORS SHOW.

London, Nov. S.-Despite the rumors
to the contrary there is not the slight
est probability that the present excite
ment in London over the war in South
Africa Will in any way affect or change
the plans for tomorrow's celebration of
lord mayors day.
The intelligent public has long looked
upon the annual celebration as an idle
and meaningless show, but at the same
time it is a custom firmly imbedded in
the hearts of Londoners by the tradi-
tion of ages.
AS long as there is a lord mayor there
will be a lord mayors day and there
fore it is safe to assume that the popu-
lace will tomorrow enjoy the custom
ary elaborate pageant preceding the in
stallation of Alfred ]. Newton, "citizen
and fanmaker," as lord mayor of Lon
don.

IF WHITE ONLY HOLDS OUT
ErgIsnd Will Be Furnished With
More Cheerful Beading Shortly
Affer All An News About Lady,
smith Is Only Conjecture Based
On Half InieIIig'bie, Scattering
Dispatches.

London, Nov. S.-To the eyes of mill
tary experts the darkest page of the
war is now being written. But even
that is Illuminated with bright pas
sages. such as General Whites victor
ious sorties. If he can keep the Brit
ish flag flying over Ladysmith until he
is relieved the campaign will turn a
fresh page and with the advance of
Sir Redvers Buffers force. the British
public is promised more cheerful read
ing. This feeling of relief inspired by
recent good tidings is nevertheless
tinged by certain anxiety lest General
White should again make some fatal
miscalculation involving a repetition OF
the Nicholson's Mex disaster.
Her majesty does not share this anx-
iety and apparently is sanguine of his
ability to pull through successfully. 1t
is asserted that she has written %
Lady White expressing sympathy with
her husband and assuring Lady White
of her own undiminished confidence in
his generalship. The purport OF her let
ter has been cabled to General White
by the Marquis of Lansdowne.
The most interesting news tonight is
a dispatch from Estcourt announcing
the departure of a strong force of
mounted troops and artillery for
destination not given in the advices.
Another message announces the arri-
val at EstcOurt and Pietermaritzburs
within the last few days of reinforce
ments from Durham. and that 1906
troops are assembled ready for an ad-
vance to Colenso when an opportune
moment arrives.
The latter dispatch throws light upon
the former and the force which left

cupied Colenso and possibly is now ad-
vancing cautiously up the railroad to-
ward Ladysmith.

None of the troopships have arrived.

reach Cape Town at tine earliest on
Monday. is as yet, unannounced and
even when it does arrive there, it Will
have three days steaming to reach
Durham. As many as six transports
with 450O troops were expected to be
in Cape Town by this time, but the war
office last evening issued a statement
to the effect that the only arrivals at
Cape Town were the Sumatra, from
Durham with wounded, the Southern
Cross. from Gibraltar, with mules, and
the collier Wenvoe.

SOLVING THE MYSTERY.
Skeleton Found on the Beach Probably
the Remains of a Sailor.

Newport News, Va, Nov. S.-An in
vestigation into the finding of the skel-
eton in the rude pine box on the beach
recently does not clear away the
mystery. 1t is evident that the box
has been buried in the sand for some
years. When the body was put in the
box it was encased in a large canvas
bag, such as is used on ships for bury
ing the dead at sea. Pieces of the
bag were found this morning.
1t is thought that the body was
picked up in the roads and a rope at
tached to tow it to shore. The bones
have been turned over to the overseer
of the poor for reinterment. Stevedore
Gilmor, who found the box, says it was
exposed to view by the waves several
years ago. Then no attention was paid
to the matter.
