chair at his desk, stretched his arms
over his head and said:
well, I am going to follow the ex-
ample Of Bryan who told me q few

Five minutes later the senator wa

about it,"
"Do You mean that you concede
New York to the republicans?
well, the republicans claim New

it, but | am not going to concede any

After the senator's departure, ex-

New York, Nov. 6-Midnight-It
evening that the election of Mckinley
and Roosevelt was assured. At half
past eight O'Clock the returns from
nearly two-thirds of the election dis
tricts of Greater New York showed
that Bryan and Stevenson could not
expect more than 20, 600 or 30, 900
plurality in this democratic stronghold
and that unless there was a landslide
outside in the state, which was be-
You'd all reasonable expectations, the
pivotal state of New York had de-
clared IN unmistakable terms, though
by a greatly reduced majority, for the
republican ticket.
As night proceeded it only served to
confirm this Judgment, the returns
from Illinois betraying like condi-
tions.
The republican plurality of 1896
was greatly reduced but it was still
far too large to be overcome. On the
other hand, returns from Indiana and
Michigan and the two Dakotas, Utah
and Wyoming, as well as Nebraska,
seemed to indicate strong republican
gains oyer 1896.
Delaware, Maryland and West Vir-
ginia had given decisive republican
pluralities. The count in several
western states was naturally so de-
layed as to give but little indication
as to the outcome there, but they had
ceased to have a determining effect,
and before them the democratic leaders
had given up the contest and il was
announced that MI. Bryan had gone
to bed and wa sound asleep.
The whole story was briefly told.
The republicans have a larger elect
oral vote than four years ago, but in
the larger states of the east and mid
die west, the pluralities had been
greatly reduced. The majority in
Massachusetts had fallen from 49,
600 to 80, 900, in New York from 268,
900 to $50, 900 and in Illinois from
l42, coo to 100, 600 or less:

ANY Men or Artillery.

London, June 15.-That Command
ant General Louis Botha should have
been able to stand for two DAYS
against Lord Roberts and then to re-
treat without losing any guns or
having any of his men captured is
taken to mean that he has a force
which the British must still reckon
| as formidable when acting defen-
sively.
The pacifcation of the whole of
the Transvaal, especially the wide
spaces, far from the railways, is
looked upon as a business requiring
months rather than weeks. Mean

A dispatch from Lourenzo Marques,
dated yesterday, says: president
Kruger is holding on to his
gold and issuing paper notes
from press in his executive
car. The Boer government COIN
ing stock is exhausted and the officials
are now paying out plain gold disks
unstamped. Some who have de-
c1incd to accept notes have taken out
their salaries in gold bars.
Gen. Butler will be unable to adj
vance further until he gets supplies.
He will probably wait until the tun-
mel has been cleared. Nearly every

ing without paying for it and brisk

CHINA IN A FERMENr.
Serious Disturbances Taking Place in sew

Admiral Forcing His Way to Pekin.

London, June 15.-Observers at
Shanghai and Tien Tsin think there
is a great deal more trouble ahead
for the concert of powers than merely
reaching Pekin with 1904 men, Sc
rious disturbances are taking place at
Yung- Nan-Fu and Meng-Tze. as well
as at other points at a considerable
distance from the capital The whole
Chinese empire seems to be in fer
ment.
The intentions of the empress dow
ager are still equivocal, with balance
of testimony on the side of determi-
nation to expel the appropriaters of
part of her country OF to lose her
dynasty in the attempt.
While Admiral Seymour, with the
international relief column, is fore
ing his way to Pekin, several of the
powers are arranging largely to rein
force their details at Tien Tsin. Ger
many purposes sending 1900 men.
Great Britain sent 600 from Hong
Kong yesterday and 400 Will go Sun
day. Italy has ordered 1000 to hold
themselves in readiness. Russia, ac-
ccrding to st. Petersburg dispatch
on Wednesday, has decided to bring
her force at Tien Tsin up to 5000.

London, June 14.-The Chinese are

dated Tuesday, June -, says: II
learn that the Chinese have guns
trained on the American mission and
the British legations. Two thousand
Russian cavalry and infantry, with arr
tillery, have landed at Taku.''
The Shanghai correspondents re-
port that United States Minister Con-
ger, by courier, asks for 1000 United
States troops.
The question of provisioning the
relief force is already difficult, and it
is predicted at Shanghai that it will
become acute.
The foreign Office confirms the re-
port of an engagement between
troops of the international column
and the Boxers on Monday. 1t says
that "about 35 Chinese were killed.

That Kansa- wheat Crop.

If Kansas actually harvests 100000
900 bushels of wheat it means 66 2-3
bushels for every man, woman and
child within the state, or 2S5 bushels
for each voter. The estimated annual
consumption of wheat is four bushels
to the person. Leaving this amount
for each person in Kansas and say
100000 bushels for seed, there will
be still 9O,OOO,OOO bushels for export
This means that the Kansas crop will
furnish a years supply for 2O,OOO,OOO
