Columbus Ohio, Especial. - Latest re-
turns show that while there were Democratic
gains In Cincinnati and other cities, Mclean
Is likely third at Cleveland and possibly at
Toledo, in which cities Jones drew much
more heavily from the Democrats than from
the Republicans. At the same time the Re-
publican net gains outside of Cincinnati,
Cleveland and Toledo arc such ms to indicate
plurality OF from thirty to forty thousand
for Judge Nash for Governor aud the entire
Republican State ticket Including a majority
of the Legislature.
The latest returns are In favor OF the Repub-

Jones hurt tho Democrats much more thun
tho Republicans In Cleveland, Toledo, Co

ports indicated exactly the opposite.

SERVICE STRIPES.

Uniformed Force of the baltimore and
Ohio Provided With Gold Lace.
Early this fall the management OF the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad decided that the
uniformed force should be provided with
service stripes, and on the winter uniforms
each man has one or more gold stripes on
HIS right sleeve II he has been In the service
for five years or more. The gold stripe
stands for five years continuous employment
by the company, and a glance over the list
develops an interesting and instructive con-
dition OF affairs.
The ordinary man, in peaceful and un-
eventful vocation, is seldom In continuous
service for forty years, yet on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad there Is a hale and hearty
old man, with keen, undimmed eyes, and Il
springy step that has been In the continuous
employ Of the company for so years.
w. ii. Green Is his name, but everybody
on tho line calls him Captain Harry"
Captain Green is probably the oldest pas
senger conductor in the world and wears
ten stripes on his right arm
Next to Captain Green, in length OF SER
vice, comes s. II. Hume, who is entitled to
nine gold stripes OF five years each. s. r..
Gill and S. Riley are wearing eight stripes,
and there are seven Oh the blue coat sleeve
Of L. Caskey, J. F. Galloway, ]. Il. Lee, f..
II. Mullen, W. L. Pearl, A. L. Pickett and l..
q. Watkins.
1t Is remarkable fact that the conduc-
tors of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
represent 80 many years of service. In fact,
the average for 19l conductors is 20 years.
Some of the passenger brakemen have seen
long years of continuous employment, there
being three entitled respectively to four,
five and six stripes.
For many years Baltimore and Ohio train
employees have had an enviable reputation
for politeness to passengers and attention to
duty, and the adoption of the service stripe
system will give the travelling public an OPP
portunity to recognize long and faithful
service.

General French Manages TO Get Out OF
Ladysmith-Boer Force Headed ON.
Estcourt, Natal, (By Gable. )-Brigsdier
General Wolfe Murray has received import
ant dispatches from Ladysmith by q runner,
but their contents have not yet been divulged.
The armored train with detachment OF
the Dublin Fusilers and railroad engineer
Ing staff which left here for Colenso to re-
pair the line and which also intended to go
through to Ladysmith II possible has re-
turned here. The commanding officer re-
ports that he proceeded beyond Colenso and
found the dwellings there untouched. There
had been no looting except In the single cas- '
OF a store, which was looted by kafirs.
1t is reported that the Beers are not within
twenty miles OF here.
The bullet holes In the uniforms OF Dur
ban Volunteers show the narrowness OF their
escape from Fort Wylie, which was only
effected after the heavy fire OF the Dublin
Fusilers had inflicted severe loss on the
Beers. A member OF the garrison who was
hard-pressed by the Beers leaped into the
river amid shower OF bullets and, diving
repeatedly, reached far bank unscathed.
General French managed to leave Lady
smith by the last train from there. Four
miles from Colenso the Beers fired on the
train, but no one was hit. The General Is
going to Cape Town In order to take COM
mand OF the cavalry. The border regiment
arrived on Friday.
Sub-Inspector Petley, Of the Natal police,
says that his men alone, forming one OF sew
eral burial parties, inferred slxty-four Boers
who were killed at the battle OF Talana Hill.
The Dublin FusiIlers are being served with
new kits, as they lost everything in the re-
trent from Dundee. The colonial forces are
already fighting In their shirt sleeves, and it
Is expected that this will spread to all the
forces before long.
Details In regard to General Brockle-
hurst's operations on Friday towards Dew
dorp show that the British force consisted
OF the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Hussars,
volunteer cavalry, with battery mounted
infantry; the Fifth Dragons, Royston's
Light Horse and two batteries. At midday
General Brockelhurst drove the Beers from
all their positions, shelled three OF their
guns into silence and headed off 200 Beers
from the Pietermaritzburg road. The Light
Horse pressed too far into gully aud were
extricated by the Dragons, all getting safely
away. Under heavy fire Lieutenant Pom
eroy OF the Fifth Dragon Guards. pluckily
rescued dlsmounted trooper from the fire
zone. The British casualties were slight.
The moral effect Is excellent.

Indicate the election OF the entire Republi-
can ticket, while the complexion OF the leg
islature Is In doubt.
Ihe weather throughout the state was
perfect, and more than an average vote was
polled, the total falling but little short OF the
vote polled In the last presidential election.
Comparatively little disorder prevailed, and,
aside from several arrests for alleged viola.
lions OF election laws, the election was char
acterized by remarkable degree OF
quietude.
Governor Bradley remained In Louisville
during the day, and had the Louisville Le-
gion In readiness for marching orders. Tho
militia was called out after the close OF the
polls to enforce an injunction granted by
local judge, but the presence Of the militia
was not needed, and the companies were
soon ordered back to the armory.
Chairman Long, of the Republican cam
palgn committee, said at midnight that
Iaylor's plurality would not be less than
10000. This estimate, he said, was based
upon estimates received from n majority OF
the counties in the state. Governor Brad
ley estimates Taylor's plurality ut from
$4,000 to $4,000.
At midnight there were still many miss
Ing precincts, but 1sl out OF 203 in the city
OF Louisville and Jefferson county give Tay-
lor plurality of 3,s62 With all the returns
In and the present ratio of Republican gains
maintained, Taylors majority in the city
will reach 1900.
At midnight Chairman Long, OF the Re
publican Campaign COMMITTEES, claims that
General Taylor has carried tho state by
from 10000 to $4,000 majority. He says that
Taylor has carried the Third Fourth, Fifth,
Ninth and Eleventh Congressional districts,
while the Eighth and Tenth are close. The
Republicans have made heavy gains in most
all OF the Democratic strongholds, which
were expected to give Goebel large majori-
ties.

VIRGINIA.

Richmond, Va. Especial. )-Never before
in the history of the city was there quieter
election. The vote was small. About the
only reminder that an election was in prog
ress was the fact that the front doors Of the
barrooms were closed.
A. G. Worsham, the only man who ran
against the Democratic nominees for the
House Of Delegates, was buried under nearly
all the ballots cast. The election In Virginia
settles It beyond the preadventure ola doubt
that Senator Thomas S. Martin will succeed
himself. There are comparatively few Re-
publlcans and independents elected. OF tho
regulars Mr.. Martin has an overwhelming
majority.

assurances and rejecting proposal that the

the dispatch, "the United States will insist

treaty giving the United States equal rights
with other powers in that country"
The Daily Chronicle, commenting editor
Tally upon "this new departure in American
policy, which will be fully approved in Eng
land, dilates upon its immense import
ance," and suggests that 1t "may affect the
international politics of Europe in very re-
nprkable degree"
The London papers continue to praise the
report OF the United States Philippine Com
mission. The Daily News says:
1T is not quite In line with the Declaration
OF Independence, but experience has shown
that the main doctrines OF that famous in
strument presuppose long apprenticeship
to freedom.
