Taylor Votes Thrown Out.

Frankfort, Nov. 17--There is re-
newed confidence around the Goebel
headquarters, probably as result of
the decision of the court of appeals
dealing an expected blow to the Re-
publicans by ruling which practical
ly decides in advance adversely the
mandamus suits filed by the Taylor
attorneys in several counties to compel
the county election commissioners to
certify the vote.
1t is probable now that the jefferson
county board, which includes Louis
vile, will proceed to throw out several
precincts in that city contested on
grounds OF fraud, and especially where
the state militia were present or near
the polls on election day.
1t is claimed here tonight that Tay-
lor's :, 800 plurality in the city of Louis
vile may be almost wiped out.

striking U. z. Employees.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov lo.--The strik-
ing Union Pacific machinists have
made the company a proposition that
they return to work at the North
Platte scale, which is asa cents per
hour. The officials refused to consider
the proposal at this time, but suggested
that il the men returned to work they
would appoint committee to take the
wage question up after while.
The machinists held several meet
ings today, but nothing of Importance
was done. They are feeling discour-
aged, and judging from what they
say, majority will return to work in
few days.
The boiler makers are still confident
and say they have no intention of re-
turning to work al the present scale.

CharIeston a Complete Loss.

Manila, Nov. 16.-Details regarding
the reported grounding of the Unit
ed States cruiser Charleston shows
that she struck an unchartered coral
reef ten miles east of Kamiguine
island. Her stern was almost sub
merged and her bow almost out of
water. A heavy sea was on, and the
cruiser began rolling violently. The
water-tight doors were quickly closed,
but were stove in under the engine
compartment, the largest of the ship.
After the first efforts to right her,
the officers feared she might slide off
because of the heavy sea, and they
abandoned the attempt to save her
They hurried to the launches and
boats and rowed away, prepared to
fight for landing, with two Colt guns,
1874 rifles and ten days rations. Some
of the officers and men were dressed
only in pajamas and their under cloth

were removed before the boats put off

The City and County l. ficiaIs Are
Urged to Put Down tho Ill,cit

Governor McSweeney has written the
following letter to each sheriff and
magistrate in tho State, asking for co.
operation In the enforcement OF the
d1spcnsary law. He has sent similar
letter to the mayors OF towns and cities
asking them to use their efforts to have
the local police enforce tho dispensary
law. He has also asked each of them
to express candid opinion OF his views
In regard to the enforcement OF the
law. Gov. McSweeney recently reduced
the number OF constables employed by
the State to aid In tho enforcement OF
the dispensary law. The results have
apparently proved satisfactory, for the
chief executive is looking around for
means to cnable the number OF consta-
blcs to be still further reduced. His
letter to tho sherilfs and magistrates
Is as follows:
Dear Sir: 1t should not be neccs.
sary to call the attention OF officers to
the Importance Of enforcing any law.
IT should be the purpose of every law
ollicer to do his duty. 1t is tho plain
ana sworn duty Of every officer com
missioncd by the State to uphold the
CoIetlIuCloH uDu Jno laws OF tho state.
1t Is no more the duty OF the governor
than 1T Is OF cvery other officer OF the
State to SEQ that the law is properly
enforced and administered. In the per
formance OF this duty the law officers
should have the support, encourage
ment, endorsement and aid OF every
good and law abiding citizen.
Those officers, whose duty it Is to en-
force and administer the law, have nc
business to question the wisdom OF the
law making power in placing any law
upon the statute books. Their busines
Is to see that tho law is enforced, so
long as 1t remains on the statute books.
AS governor 1t shall be my constant
purpose to see that the law is admins
| tered and enforced wisely and judi
ciously and In this purpose 1 seek the
