Landed in the Republican Column.

Chicago, Nov. 10.-Besides McKin-
ley and Bryan there were five other
men in the field with aspirations to
the Office of president of the United
States.
In Chicago alone, Eugene V. Debs,
as head OF the social democratic tick
ct, led the other minor candidates by
q total vote of 5,022. John q. Woolley,
the prohibition candidate, followed
second, with a vote of $685., while the
socialist labor party, with Joseph f.
Maloney, received 20a; Wharton Bar
ker, for the peoples party, 1S9, and
Seth II. Ellis, of the "Union Reform
FOR Direct Legislation" party, found
80 scattered votes.
At the national prohibition head
quarters it is estimated that the to-
tai vote in the nation would exceed
100000. This estimate was based upon
the receipt of about 400 kilograms re-
than three times the vote cast for
LeVering IN 1896.
John G. Woolley anticipates a vote
approaching 500, 900, basing his claims
upon the country precincts which are
yet to report. Indiana, Ohio, Michi-
gan, New York and Pennsylvania are
thought to have polled a prohibition
vote fully four times as large as in
1896. Illinois is estimated at nearly
three times the vote OF 1896, or 27,-

EXECUTIONS OF CHINESE.
The Chinese Authorities at PeI.in

Action of the Allies.

Washington, Nov. 12.-It is under

by some of the executions of Chinese
officials which have taken place re-
Gently and that they have made

done while the peace negotiations are

ton of the acting viceroy of Chih-Li

sensible.
Acting for LII Hung Chang.
This acting viceroy served during
the absence of III Hung Chang at Pc
kin, occupying his yamen, and in all
ways executing Earl Lis functions
while he was conducting the peace
mission. His headquarters were es-
tablished at Pao Ting Flu, whence the
allied forces under the German com
mander recently directed their cXpc-
dition. 1t is said that the acting vice
roy made no opposition to the ad
vance of the German and other allied
troops, although he had an army
capable OF resisting. lie is said to
have come out from the city to meet
the allies and to have turned over his
yamen to them.
From the Chinese Standpoint.
From the Chinese standpoint,
China is herself proceeding to punish
guilty officials. and the question of
punishments is also being considered
in the negotiations now progressing.
Chinese officials maintain, therefore,
that this summary execution of one
of the highest officials, while he is said
to have been non-combatant and
peaceful, is extraordinary and calcu-
lated to stir up animosity among the
Chinese people which there is every
desire to avoid.
\ Cali From Minister Wu.
The Chinese minister made Il call on
Secretary Hay, mainly for the pur-
pose of getting news on the progress
of affairs. When asked as to the exc
cutiOn of the acting viceroy of Chin
Ii, he would make no statement, al
though it is understood that he is full
ly advised of the feeling of deep con-
Germ which prevails among the Chi
nese officials at PeKin concerning this
act and others of similar character.

boxes, which, under the law, can not
be opened for six months. 1t is pos
