by the injudicous efforts of one goddess to
bite off the ear of one of her rival deities.
Opened the Ball.
At o'clock followed a grand dinner in
the palace. at which the flow of patriotism
and tuba was superb and soon the commit
tee, the Jap excepted, found other fields for
exertion, and the naval officer was left
alone to face he next feature of the pro-
gram, which was the grand dance. or bale.
The smooth floor of the palace had been
waXed, the musicians were present, while
the wealth and beauty of Agana clustered
against the walls, but things did not start,
and the fair ones began to frown and the
gallants to murmur together, and things
looked sqrally Now. the lieutenant was a
bachelor confirmed, and not dancing man
at all. but he came nobly to the rescue, and,
seiZing the nearest nut-brown maiden,
started for the middle Of the floor in series
of motions that were noble effort to suit
his step to the unusual terpsichorean evo-
lutions of his partner. The ice was broken,
and from then on the bale was a bowling
success.
In the meantime. one of the lost commit
teemen had, in his promenade. come across
the soidiery resting in the plaza, and the
thought occurred to his somewhat muddled
brain that further salute of five guns
would now be apropos, so the coehorns were
once more loaded up by his order. and soon
the Dreamy music VI lHe udHce was pune
tured by loud 'vivas!" and the crash OF
artillery. Hastily leaving his fair partner
and the bale in the care of the induStrfOu;

Predictions

MANY men Of many minds ex-
actly describes the present attempts Of
the politicians to predict what will be
the dominating issue In the President
ial campaign. No better proof of the
correctness OF this assertion Is neces-
sary than the declaration Of two
prominent members OF the House
Grosyenor. Of Ohio. and Barham. of
California-both republicans. Gen,
Grosvenor said: There will be but
one Issue next year. and that Is the
financial ISSUE" and Mr.. Barham
said: 1.-The money question will hardly
be thought Of in the next campaign.
1t was brushed aside and lost sight of
in the State campaigns. The people
did not want to hear It talked from the
stump. The two things all audiences
were interested In we're, first. expan-
sion. and second, trusts" Other ex-
amples Of contrary opinion might be
given, but these will suffice to show
that the politicians differ widely. and to
recall the o~ft-asserted fact that the
people make national issues for the
politicians to advocate.

G0EBEL CLAIMS KENTUCKY.
Both Sides Preparing for Bitter Legal
Fight Which VIII Soon Occur.

Fight Which VIII Soon Occur,
The second week of uncertainty re.
garding the result OF the balloting
LOT governor OF Kentucky begins with
little prospect Of immediate relief.
The Official count has been in prog
ress several days. and official returns
from large majority of the 119 coun.
ties have narrowed the contest down
to close finish. Each side claims
the election of its ticket, but the es-
timated plurality of either does not
exceed 5000.
While the returns 80 far received
favor Taylor. the result of the count
may hinge on the decision given by
the county election commissioners in
several places where contests have
been begun on the ground of alleged
Irregularities. One Of these contests,
that in Nelson county, has been de-
cided adversely to the republicans
1t involved l,19S votes, nearly as
many as either side claims as it's plu
rality.
The democrats will contest the
votes Of some of the mountain coun.
ties which return large republican
pluralities. The most important
county involved is Knox, which gave
Taylor 1898 plurality. There are
also contests in three precincts oi
Louisville, which went republican.
In any event it is difficult to see
how bitter contest before the legis
lature and the courts can be avoided

TWO MISSISSIPPI TRAGEDIES.
Two White Men Murdered by an Insane
Negro.

Two White Men Murdered by an Insane
Negro.
Two shocking tragedies followed
each other so quickly at Round Lake,
Miss, Sunday night that before the
excitement of one had died away the
other had been committed. N. X.
Graves was assassinated and in ten
minutes Arthur Maxwell was shot
and killed.
At 7:30 o'clock Dick Dickerson,
negro aged about so years, who had
been regarded as crazy, slipped up to
point near = window OF the bedroom
of tn, store of St. Clair & Lovelace
and, firing through, shot and NOR
tally wounded Graves. There was no
warning, and Graves had no idea that
the negro even entertained any ill
feeling towards him.
Mr.. st. Clair was in the room at
the time and fired three shots at the
aeeing negro, but the crazy assassin
escaped. The shooting created tre-
mendous excitement, and Arthur Max
well was among the number who
gathered around the store. In ten
minutes after the first shot Dicken-
son rushed up to point behind a
tree and again fired. Maxwell fell to
the ground and in a moment was
dead. The double assassin again es-
capped.
1t is thought that the negro enter
tanned an insane hatred toward Mr..
St. Clair, and was seeking to murder
him when he shot graves.

The recent encounters were too
one-sided to be called fights. The in
surgents are mortally afraid of the
Americans, however strong their po-
sition. They make but brief and
ieeble resistance, and run when the
terrible American yell reaches their
ears, whereupon the Americans pur-
sue them and slay many.
The moral effect of the news that
60. 900 troops are on their way here
has been unquestionably great.
The insurgents are suffering more
from disease than are Americans, ow-
ing to poor food, lack of medicine
and filthy hospitals, with the result
