THE KENTUCKY MIDDLE.
Republicans Are Confident, Democrats Con.
tentious

Louisville, Ky, Nov. 1.-THE official
count of the election vote is progressing
slowly throughout the state and although
it has been prosecuted with as much
speed as possible, it will be several days
before it is completed in all counties and
even then it may not be sufficient to
determine the result, for many notices
of contests will be filed before the board
of election commissioners. At Bards-
town suit was filed by the Republicans
today in which the court was asked that
the election board be compelled to issue
new certificates to the w. S. TAYLOR
ballots having been printed "W P. Tay-
lor.' The Democrats contend that ,O9S
votes cast for w. P. Taylor are invalid.
At the Republican headquarters it is
claimed Taylor is elected by plurality
of 3,134. These figures are based upon
the official returns from every county
except five. The Democrats still claim
Goebel's election, but are not giving any
figures

EXPLORING THE AMAZON.
Remarkable Voyage Made by the
Gunboat Wilmington.

WASHINGTON. May 1.-THE Navy
Department has just received from
Commander Todd of the Wilmington an
interesting account of the remarkable
voyage of exploration up the Amazon
River, made by that vessel last April.
The Wilmington was instructed to
push ON up the great river and ascer-
tain how far it was navigable. Cap
tain Todd reports that he assembled to
Yuquitos, in Peru, which is about ., 100
miles up. This voyage was made, as
he says, against an adverse current
averaging three knots for the entire
distance.
Manos, at the junction Of the Rio
Negro with the Amazon, has heretofore
been regarded as the head of navigation
for steam vessels. and from that fact it
has grown to be a prosperous city of
10000 inhabitants. Consequently the
intention of Captain Todd to ascend the
river above that point caused conster-
nation, and, in the end, as revealed by
subsequent reports, led to some adverse
demonstrations against the American
Consul and against the native pilots,
who assisted the Wilmingtons com
mander
Captain Todd succeeded, notwith-
standing these obstacles. in ascending
the river for 1000 miles above Mamos,
and, had it not been for lack of fuel,
he would have steamed about 800 miles
further, he believes. AS it was, the
Wilmington was within about 400 miles
of the Pacific
The possibilities of the successful nav
igation of the vast. and hitherto I'M
known, interior of South America re-
vealed by Captain Todds voyage will,
it is believed, be Of the greatest COM
mercial Importance. Captain Todd
shows that the Amazon, like the Missis
sippi, is SO changeable i'll it's channels
as not to permit Of successful charting,
so that expert pilots will always be re-
quired.
The Wilmington left Manaos, in Bra
zil, April 9th for the upper river, and
arrived at Yquilos on the 18th of April
Captain Todd proposes to make trip
to Rio Madeira before leaving the Ann
AEON.
