At tho National Capital

WASHINGTON, Nov. e.-More than the
usual amount of interest in off year
elections was manifested in both official
and unofficial circles. Particularly was
this the case with reference to the states
of Ohio, Maryland Kentucky and Ne.
braska. In lministration circles the
closest attention has been paid to the
proeles of the campaign in Oh O,
where it was felt that in a
measure at least the policy
pursued in the Philippines would
be put to q test. Considerable
surprise was manifested here when the
news giving Jones' probable vote was
received, as the Republicans were conf
dent that it would not amount to the
proportions it assumed. The size of the
Democratic majorities In Maryland and
Nebraska astonished most politicians,
though it was expected that each state
was more likely to go Democratic than
Republican. With reference to the
four states named, and also New York,
it was felt that personal considerations
played an unusually large part in this
years elections,
Gratifying to Mayor Jones,
TOLEDO, Nov. 8.-Mayor Jones late
last night said: "The result Of the elec.
ton ia gratifying to me, as it must be

which provides that every municipal

PopulIst Vote Shows Decided Falling

PopulIst Vote Shows a Decided Falling
OF In the State.
JACKSON, Miss, Nov. S.-Scattering
returns from representative sections of
the state indicate a very light vote over
the state. This was caused by lack Of
interest of the voters in the country
precincts and a heavy purging Of tho
registration books in several counties.
The entire Democratic state ticket is
elected by a majority conservatively es-
timated at 10000. The official count
will not greatly vary these figures.
The Populist vote shows n decided fall
ing off, which will probably amount to
80 per cent. Not over $1,000 votes were
polled during the day. The Populists
have probably elected member of the
legislature from Choctaw county. Tho
vote on the Noel amendment, providing
for an elective judiciary, is decidedly
close, and it will require an official
count to determine the result.

The Queens Blindness.

The Queens blindness has grown on
her very rapidly of late. 4 little while
ago she saw men as trees walking; today
she sees neither men nor trees: she is
blind. Even her physicians have ceased
to deny the fact. The politicians know
it.. There is something tragic, if you
will, in this long reign-brilliant as that
of the third George-closing in dark
ness-as his Gid. George the Third was
both blind and mad. The old Queen
Victoria is not mad, but she as dull
with too many years of life and too
many pounds of fat. Perhaps she does
not wholly regret her blindness. She
has had to look ON during sixty years,
while her Ministers perpetuated so many
historic crimes, that it may be pleasant
to close her eyes at last. Always she
has been powerless to intervene. Al
ways she has been forced to come for
