 Mississippi and South Carolina head the list of commonwea where the great majority of the people stayed at nome on election day. Each had S1 per cent of abSentees from the polls Tn Louisiana, IS per cent: in Georgia, II per cent; in Florida, 60 per cent: III Alabama, GO per cent did not cast ballot for president This cannot be accounted for entirely along the color line. If all the 141.372 negroes of vot- ing age in Louisiana had voted. still there would have been 94 ,1G9 white aDSentoeS to account for. If all the 1So1G2 negroes in Mississippi had voted, S5,G31 white men would have been noted as abSentees And so on
 In sections of the extreme east and of the far west about half of the male inhabitants aged more than 21 failed to vote. in Massachusetts, Maine, Rhode Island, Vermont, Montana. Ne vada, North Dakota, Oregon. Washing ton and California. Surely 50 per cent of the men of the Bay state were not crazy, in jail. or unnaturalized. Thousands of them were not in love with either ticket.
 The campaign was earnest in New York, but q quarter of the males of voting age didn't vote.
 Two explanations must be made con- cerning the accompanying table of figures by states.
 First. in Michigan and Minnesota the percentage of n0n-yoters. 21 and 40 respectively, will be somewhat reduced when the number of ballots cast for other candidates than the republican and democratic is officially announced.
 Secondly. no percentages are given Idaho. Utah and Wyoming. because women are therein permitted to vote for president. and it is Impossible to separate the male and female vote at this writing. Leaving the women out of the figuring, Wyoming shows 16,460 less votes than the number of males of voting age. and Idaho 2.S94 less. DisregardinG the women again, Utah shows 19,592 more votes than males of voting age and Colorado 40 more. Of course all the men did not vote in either of the two states last named.- Boston Globe.

century, with battle record Of which
any soldier might be proud. is now on
her way to Europe, where she is being

British Fleet Is Hoaxed

Westminster Gazette: An amazing
story is told of the hoaxing OF British
4eet by "a stupid Irishman" during
the recent naval maneuvers. 1t appears
that during an attack on Bere Island
~ some of the vessels of the "B" feet
che officer Of the Hut received instruc-
dons from Castletown coast guard sta
don to gather up all kilograms and
secret plans, send man away With the
same to hide in cave and on no ac-
count to let them fall into the enemy's
hands. With the remainder of his
crew he was then to show fight until
the last. In the meantime an attack
ing force Of eighteen men and an Of
ficer had been landed, which marched
TO the Hut and secured its surrender.
All search for the secret papers, how
ever, proved useless, and the men at
the Hut maintained a profound silence

afternoon one Of the men of the Castle
town coast guard station had been
sent to Bere Island with the nav of
the men. Upon arrival there he pro-
ceeded at once to the Hut (hayiug

found himself surrounded by the in

small pension, to make a living IN
the island by cutting and selling turf
He had provided himself with turf
cutting spade in order to give color to
his story.
The sailors Of the invading party
were very sympathetic and advised
him to go to England, where he would
be sure OF getting work in one of the
royal dock yards. After getting the
invaders into good humor he imme-
diately went in search of the man with
the secret documents in his possess

A JAPANESE NOBLE.
1Adks Of the AmsiGamAti0a Of Three
Relixi Oaa.

Religions.
Tacoma tWash.) Special New York
Times: Some OF the leaders OF reli-
gious thought in Japan are endeavor-
ing to choose between Buddhism,
Shintoism and Christianity as the fu-
ture religion OF the empire. Others
would amalgamate the best features OF
the several religions. One of these Is
Count Okuma. one OF the heads of the
Japanese government. In an inter
view reported in Japanese newspaper
he says: THE fundamental idea OF
Confucianism is benevolenee. that oil
Buddhism is compassion or mercy and
that Of Christianity love- These feel
ings form the basis of all religion
The founders OF the different religions
knew their own people and their own
part of the world only, and hence could
not devise any system OF teaching thai,
should suit all countries alike, but
they did an immense deal in the way
OF drawing attention TO the impor.
sance Of certain principles. For the
multiplication of sscts their disciples
are responsible. Their Interpretation
OF the meaning OF the words said To-
be used by the founders differed wide
ly. and each variation was perpetnated
by special forms and ceremonies. What
is most desirable now is to get rid OF
the superstructure and lay bare the
foundation. Benevolence. compassion
and love. Cannot Buddhists. Chris
tians and Confucianists come together
on these principles and work in ha.,-
mony? This union may not be wit
messed In my time. but it will come
some day." Some OF the Christian
churches in Japan are taking steps to
open a new divinity school to take the
place Of the Doshisha Divinity hall,
which has been closed owing to dis
agreement with the American Mis-
-ionary board in New York, which snp-
ported it. Hitherto the American
board OF Foreign Missions and the
japanese churches have been acting
separately, but since the object is the
same, efforts will be made to unite the
two classes of workers.
