SMALL CHANCE FOR GoEBRL.
Kentucky Democrats Now Trying to
Save the Legislature

Kentucky Democrats Now Trying to
Save the Legislature
LOUISVILLE. KY, Nov. 16.-It is be
coming more and more apparent that
Democrats are losing hope in the Ger
tral board which has been counted
upon to give Goebel the certificate Of
election. In contests more atte ntion
is being paid to the counting in of mem
bers of the legislature and less to 70
tes for the State ticket. In fact, in
the Jefferson county count to day
Taylor gained in every precinct, and
in one his vote was increased By a dud
of ~ votes. Bat a small technicality
was tax en- advantage Of in order to
elect the Democratic representative.
Whether the plan is to depend On the
Legislature to make Goebel governor or
to make him senator is purely a mat
ter of guessWork.
Moreover, there is a we'll founded
rumor that Judge Pryor, one of the
members of the central board, is to be
asked to resign, and June Gayle, of
Owen 'on, put in his place. Judge
Pryor, however, denies this.

The CRUISER CHARLESTON
WRECKED.

MANILA, Nov. 15.-The United States
cruiser Charleston ran aground near
Vigan, on a hidden unchRrted reef,
with 35 fathoms of water On both
sides. Tae worked her machinery for
days and nights in trying to get afoat,
but a typhoon arising, the crew were
compelled to take their boats and seek
refuge on a small island five miles
away. >.
The Charleston lies practically in
the open sea-, and there is no hope CT
saving her or the valuable parapher-
MALTA and contents of the cruiser. She

AGUINALD0 is A FUGITIVE.


MANILA, Nov. 16.-The surrender of
Tarlac practically means an end of eff
tective operations of the 80 called Fill
Pine government. Hereafter the in
surrectionary organization will simply
be a vest-pocket with pillar tc-post
affair, whose crucifx sword, death on
the-feld heroes, will be scattered into
gangs of bandits. The insurrection
will become simply a m tier of bri-
gandage. AguinRldo undoubtedly
hopes to re establish some form Of gov.
eminent at BayamboDg, but will surely
be fooled. He is skilIfulIy seeking a
rabbit warren which may enable him
to avoid capture for months. But he
will never again have time to organ
ize anything anywhere. He will never
again be long enough in place to
set the wheels Of government going.

it was known that things were going against
the Austrians. and the news was posted IN
big letters in Vienna that the battle was lost
and the army in wild flight The effect Of these
rapidly succeeding reports Of success and fail
ure is not to be described. For three weeks
Vienna was "a If stunned.
In this time Of gloomy aTathy appeared one
day notice in the papers that Johann Strauss
had written a new waltz. However insignih-
cant this news may appear compared with the
tragedy Of defeat, the announcement OF new
waltz by Strauss always exercised 50 great
magic in Vienna that even in those days. be
tween walls and groans the question was often
put. Have you heard? The Strauss has written
a new waltz" and the speakers lips were
Wreathcd in smiles
Only one thing gave the people pause. II
was stated that the new waltz was written FOR
the Vienna Male Chorus, and that they would
sing it for the first time at its summer festival.
What-Strauss write a waltz to be sung? Some
were uneasy others curious. and even the most
ardent Strauss admirers shook their heads. but
said What our Schanl writes won't be SO
bad"
The festival took place in the second caf5 in

but the people stood in crowds outside. After
the chorus had sung some other pieces, the
great moment arrived Strauss mounted the
platform TO conduct his new waltz. Long-con-
tinued applause greeted him. He raised his
baton-for the first time he had laid aside his
violin bow. The introduction to The Blue

So far as the writer remembers the Blue

till one day either Eduard or Johann put il on
his programme again in the Volksgarten but
this time without the chorus. Whether the pub
lie wanted TO make up to the master for its in
Justice or whether the enhancing beauties Of
the waltz were first brought out by the orches-

never before experienced

could not refrain from reminding the composer
