New York. Nov. Midnight; II became
evident at very early hour this evening
that the election Of Mckinley and Roose-
Welt was assured.
At ssh o'clock returns from nearly two
thirds Of the election districts Of Greater
New York had been received. indicating
beyond question that Bryan and Steven
son could not expect more than 5000 or
5000 plurality in this Democratic strong
hols and unless there was a landslide In
the outside counties beyond all reasonable
sxpectation. the pivotal state Of New York
had declared in unmistakabIe terms al

SUICIDE IS DISCRETION.


NEW YORK, Sept. "A dispatch to the
Herald from Paris says: "A curious order
of the day has been issued by Colonel
Clamorgan, of the Second Regiment Of
marines 1t runs as follows:
"a soldier of the regiment committed
suicide some days ago at Kerhuon. A
sergeant committed suicide this morning
in barracks Ii is better that their names
should not be mentioned. These two deaths
are a source of profound regret, as would
be the desertion or crime of a comrade.
Suicide for soldier is desertion. 1t
is a flight toward country from which
nobody returns. Suicide is crime. 1t is
the abandonment of ones post and flight
before the enemy. For this reason it is a
painful but just custom that military hon.
ors are not rendered to suicides. soldier
who believes in God and who loves his
country would have no temptation to COM
NIT suicide Let us therefore be true be-
levers and patriots in order that a noble
hope may sustain us during life, and that
all of us, sons of France and soldiers, first
of all may know how to keep our blood
for the defense of the fatherland.'"

their guests Miss Alice Neale and Mrs.

having gone some distance, they discovered
that the coachman was not on the box and
that the horses. pair of powerful ami
mails, were running away. Mr.. Calef
jumped in an effort to gain the horses
heads, but was thrown to the ground, and
the team dashed on, every moment gain

Miss Railey, who is known throughout
Kentucky as a horsewoman of remarka-
Bile skill, climbed through a window scarce

body sidewise, to the box and, gaining a
footing the whifffetrees, managed to
get hold of one line and threw one OF the
horses, bringing the vehicle to a sudden

WABASH, Ind, Sept 4.-Members OF the

Union openly repudiate the effort of Miss
Mary E. Balch. secretary of the State or
ganization, who is endeavoring to establish

the union in Indiana, for the defeat of
President Mckinley. Her action is ascribed
to intense craftsmanship and is almost uni

CAR DEFIED BY HIS AUNT
GAMBLING SCANDAL IN RUSSIA THAT
Is CAUSING GOSSIP.
The Grand Duchess Vladimir Threat
ened with Banishment for De-
Ginning to obey an Order.

NEW YORK, Sept. A dispatch to the
Journal and Advertiser from Berlin says:
"A very serious quarrel has broken out
between the Car and his aunt, the grand
duchess Vladimir which has had the
result of causing her husband, the grand
duke, to tender the resignation of his office
as commander of the metropolitan military
district of st. Petersburg and of the I'm
perial Guard. The whole trouble, which
has not only set all Russian society by the
ears, but has also perturbed several for
eign courts. including that of Emperor VIII
liam, is due to a question of baccarat and
roulette. Last spring the Car, alarmed by
the extraordinary increase of the scandals
at court, in society, in the army and even
among the high clergy due to high play,
issued an edict strictly forbidding baccarat
or roulette This ukase followed almost
Immediately the startling discovery made
by Nicholas that the chapter of one of the
principal churches of the metropolis had
pawned the church plate and jeweled icons
to pay gambling debts contracted at bac-
carat and roulette.
by the army and clergy the Emperors
order has been obeyed and baccarat has
been stopped at the yacht and other lead
ing clubs. But society has treated the i'm
perial edict with something very much
akin to derision, and this largely owing to
the attitude adopted by the Grand Duchess
Vladimir. The latter. a German princess
by birth and the only foreign lady who
has declined to change the faith in which
she was reared for that of her husband
on marrying a Russian grand duke. is pas
sionately addicted to the games of this
character. To her Is due the introduction
of the roulette table article of furni-
ture in the salons of most of the palaces
and mansions of st. Petersburg, and the
edict of her nephew in no way modified
her openly proclaimed determination to
visit no house and to attend no entertain
ment where roulette and baccarat were
not provided for her amusement. On dis
covering the manner in which the orders
were defied and the part which the grand
duchess has played in the matter the Car
intimated to her that unless she set an
example of obedience TO his behest he
would reluctantly be compelled to visit her
with a public token of his displeasure by
banishing her for a time from court and
depriving her of the use of the imperial
liVeries and of imperial hOnors"

Origin of the Political Trouble I'm the
Bluegrass State.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
HENDERSON, KY, Sept. 4.-Ex-Gover-
nor McCreary at Owensboro on Sunday
night threw little side light on the
origin of the Kentucky trouble Speaking
to party of newspaper men he used sub
stantially these words: There would have
been no contest If il hadn't been for Joe
Blackburn. Goebel had decided not to con-
test and was prepared to announce his can
didacy for United States senator. He was
going to Cincinnati first, however, and left
call at the hotel in order to take the
early morning train. Beckham would not
contest If Goebel did not. A friend of
Blackburn's telegraphed him that Goebel
had given up the fight. He came up from
Versailles and prevented the bellboy from
calling GSebel, so he missed his train.
When Goebel got up Blackburn joined him
and never left him until the contest was
under way. If this train of circumstances
had not come into being Goebel would be
alive to-day and hold seat in the Senate,
Taylor would be Governor and Blackburn
would be practicing law at Versailles"

BOER FLAG CUT DOWN
STUDIED INSULT TO A BRITISH AD-
MIRAL AND HIS MEN RESENTED.
Incident of the Naval Display on Bar
Harbor on Arrival of a Fleet
of English Ships.

BAR HARBOR. Me-, Sept. 4.-There was
a splendid naval display mere to-day. when
five British warships steamed into the inner
harbor and fired a national salute, which
was returned by the United States cruiser
New York. The British ships were III. Nj.
s. Crescent, flying the flag of Vice Ad-
miral Bedford, the Pysche. Tribune, 1nde-
fatigable and the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Quail. After the exchange of salutes, Adj
miral Farquhar. with his staff, made
formal visit to Vice Admiral Bedford on
the Crescent, and on its conclusion, re-
turn call was made by the British Of
ficers, headed by their vice admiral. This
afternoon a reception was given to the
officers of both squadrons.
Just after the British ships dropped an
Choir in the harbor this morning, an in
cident of more than ordinary interest oc-
Cured. Near the shore path Edward Van
Ness, of New York, swung to the breeze,
flag, and addressed his friends in denun-
citation of the British. The flag raising
made the people angry, and dozen vol
further ceremony. Rear Admiral Upshur
(retired) was particularly vexed. Charles
III. Wood, chairman of the Board of Sc
lectmen, called on Mr.. Van Ness and po-
litely requested that the flag be taken
down, but Mr.. Van Ness refused TO grant
the request
Chairman Wood, together with DR.. j.
Madison Taylor. representing the Board
of Trade, and two police officers after
wards renewed the request to have the
flag removed. Again the owner of the
flag refused. and defed the officers to
remove it. Mr.. Wood thereupon applied
the knife to the halyards and the Boer
standard fioated to the earth amid the
cheers of those assembled. Mr.. Van Ness
was one of the committee to receive the
Boer commissioners when they visited this
country. He has been requested to resign
from the Gentlemen's Club.
