(Corresp 1ndence of the Boston Tran

The newest of Americans, the sultan of
Sulu, will begin 10 think of celebrating
Christmas just as We are getting over
ours. His feast Of seasts comes not at the
end OF the'year, but at It's beginning.
during the holy season of Ramadan,
and as his royal highness-thAt {: is the
sultan's official title-is very pious and
devoted to his faith, his very name of
Majasari meaning without sin or stain,
the occasion will be observed with all
due solemnity. AS for our ChirstmaI,
his religion has no such feast, although
1t makes room for seven hsavens and
seven halls. In this respect, his royal
highness differs from that other Mahome-
tan potenta.e. the khedive Of Egypt, who
recognizes Christmas, ana who conveys
the compliments of the season to Lord
Cromer, through the grand master of
ceremonies. as each year brings the
happy day along.
But the sultan Of Sulu, although more
famous among us this Christmas than
he was last Christmas, is still the objsot
of much popular misconception. Ihis
should not be, inasmuch as he seems
destined to figure oonspicuously In the
coming presidential campaign. He is
daily made the target of political orators.
Clergymen OF many denominations have
said things about him, and q profound
problem In American constitutional law,
relating to the existence of slavery, owes
Its importance, just now, TO him.

Impression General That Courts
Will Be Invoked This Week.
BRADLEY IS STUBBORN
NOT LIKELY TO YIELD GOVERN
oRSHIP TO GoEBEL.
Injunction to Prevent Election Board
From Counting Vote of Several
Counties, the Probable Line of
Procedure-Taylor Men Assert
Confidence of Majority.

Frankfort, KY, Nov. pa quiet Sun
day brought Iull in the political stu
alton to all outward appearances. There
We're no significant developments from
Goebel headquarters, though Goebel
and his managers remained in confer
ence during the day. There is general
impression outside that some move is
to be made by Goebel early this week.
and it is generally supposed that a
mandatory injunction suit to prevent
the state election board from counting
the vote of Jefferson, Knox and John
son counties will be part of it. though
this is not confirmed by any one in
authority.
1t is doubtful if Governor Bradley
would recognize Goebel as governor if
he were given certificate of election
by the state election board. unless
their action was in obedience to rul.
ing of the court. In that event it is
believed he would resist no further, but
would advise Taylor to contest before
the legislature.
Neither Bradley. Taylor nor any of
the Republican leaders, however, be-
lieve that the court of appeals, in the
face of its decision in the Nelson coun-
ty case yesterday, will grant an injunc-
ton, and are more confident than ever
that the state election board will give
Taylor a certificate of election.
In Taylor circles it is claimed that
two of the three state commissioners
Ellis and Pryor-are sure to vote to
stand by the vote in every county as it
appears ON the face of the returns.

FINANCIAL MEASURE.
Republican House Caucus reviews

Washington. Nov 26-The Republi-
can caucus committee appointed at the
last session of congress to prepare a
general financial measure for report to
the coming congress, is preparing to
complete the duty assigned it,
Tonight seven of the members of the
committee gathered at Prospective
Speaker Hendersons rooms at the Nor
mandie hotel ami informally considered
the bill prepared by the committee in
Atlantic City during the past summer
The members present were Messrs.
Henderson, Babcock, Norris of Mime
sofa, Curtis of Kansas. Payne. Dalzell
and Overstreet. Nothing decisive was
done tonight, the main purpose of the
gathering. Mr.. Henderson explaining,
being to enable the members TO refresh
their memories on the various features
of the measure already agreed upon
He does not look for any essential
changes in the bill. but says the men,
bers are firm in the faith and purpose
to push the measure at the coming ses-
sion. The committee is waiting to have
a joint meeting with the senate COM
mittee appointed for the same purpose,
but nc word has been received from
the members of the latter yet as TO
when they will, be ready to meet the
members of the house committee. The
latter are anxious that the measure
SHALL have prompt consideration. and
want meeting of the two committees,
