RETURNS
SOUTH DAKOTA GIVES MKINLEY
1880. 80. .....


The result of the election I'm South
Dakota is beyond the shadow of doubt.
The official returns have not yet been
received. but careful revision OF the
unofficial returns received shows that
President Mckinley has received plu-
rality OF 14.640, and Republicans claim
that the official canvass will increase
this to some extent.
Herried, for governor. kept close up
with the presidential ticket. His ma
jority is figured at 1850.
Burke and Martin, Republican can
'didates for congress, kept well up with
the other tickets, and have received
comfortable majorities.
The Legislature is Republican by a
good margin.
The returns indicate that the Repub-
licans have elected thirty-six senator's.
the Fusionists five, and three are in
doubt. In the house the Republicans
have elected seventy-two, the Fusion
lists nine, and four are in doubt.
The following are the figures, by
counties, on the vote for governor and
president:

Lisxt's Personality.

The best impression of Liszts ap-
pearance in 1854. writes DR.. William
Mason in the September Century, is
conveyed by a picture which shows
him approaching the Altenburg. His
back is turned; nevertheless. there is
certain something which shows the
man as he was, better even than those
portraits in which his features are
clearly reproduced. The picture
gives his gait, his figure and his
general appearance. There is his
tall. lank form, his high hat set a lit
tie to one side. and his arm trifle
akimbo. He had piercing eyes. His
hair was very dark, but not black. He
wore 1t long, just as he did In his old
er days. 1t came almost down to his
shoulders. and was cut OFF square at
the bottom. He had 1t cut frequently,
so as to keep it at about the same
length. That was a point about which
he was very particular.
AS remember his hands, his fingers
were lean and thin. bat they did not
impress me as being very long, and he
did not have such remarkable stretch
on the keyboard as one might imagine.
He was always neatly dressed, gener-
ally appearing In a long frock coat.
until he became the Able Liszt. after
which he wore distinctive black
gown. His general manner and his
face were most expressive of his feel
ings, and his features lighted up when
he spoke. His smile was simply
charming. His face was peculiar One
could hardly call 1t handsome, yet
there was in II subtle something that
was most attractive, and his whole
manner had fascination which 1t is
impossible to describe.

YAQUIS AS TRAILERS.
Incidents Illustrating Their Skill mt
Game of Scouting.

THE Yaqui Indians are wonderful
natural trailers," said a former Mexi-
can trader. relates the New Orleans
Times-Democrat They ought to make
the best scouts in the world. Some
years ago | was stopping at place
called Ysleti. near the east coast of
Yucatan, when my cabin was robbed
one night of several hundred dollars
In gold hired very intelligent va
qui named Pedro to help me chase the
thief. and we started at once. The
thief who did the job had fed on
horseback, striking northwest, and be-
fore long my guide had a pretty ac-
curate idea OF lis personal appearance.
He picked up his Information scrap
at time. beginning with the discov-
cry that he was understood. When /
asked how he knew. he pointed to a
willow tree from which one of the
lower branches had been recently
broken. The rascal had dismounted
there for rest. and several fiat
stones were piled on the ground under
the broken branch. Pedro surmised
that he wanted a whip and had to
stand on the stones to reach the limb.
which was really not very high.
mention this incident because 1t SEEM
ed to me at the time to be very far
fetched guessing. but 1t turned out
atterward to be absolutely correct. He
knew the colors of the mans saddle
blanket from a few shreds caught on
a thorn bush, and learned that he car
ried native water bottle by its print
in the soft dirt near a spring. What
astonished me especially, however was
tho ease with which he followed the
train of the horse over fiinty, sun
caked stretches, where not the faintest
sign of its passage was visible to my
blunter vision. We caught UP with
the thief on the second day, and all OF
Pedro's predictions were verified to the
letter. He was prowling half-breed.
and when hard pressed had hidden the
money under log in a dense thicket.
My Indian located 1t in almost less
time than 1t takes to tell the story, and
laughed contemptuously at the others
lack Of finesse. Yet he was not an
exceptional trailer. l have met dozens
of the tribe who were equally clever.

KENTUCKY RrruRss coMrLETE
Give Bryan n Majority Of 7,635-TalIk
of n Contest. NNN

q
Louisville, KY. Nov. u.--With un~
official returns from every precinct in
Kentucky the Courier Journal puts
Bryan's majority at 1855, and Beck
hams at 4110. The county boards
canvassed the returns In every county
in the state and so counties out or 1f9
whose official returns have been re-
ceived did not materially change the
majorities in the foregoing. There Is
no doubt that the full official returns
will vary somewhat from the unof-
ficial figures. IT Is hardly possible
that majorities of 1855 and 4,110 shall
be wiped out, however. unless the un-
expected happens in the counties
where the official returns are not In.
Chairman Leslie Combs of the Repub-
lican campaign committee said he
wished to state his position as to COM
tests, and correct some erroneous Inn
pressions. He did not want to be un-
derstood as saying authoritativeiy that
the kentucky election win be contest
ed. He is in favor of contesting the
electoral vote OF the state not because

we allow this election to pass uncon-
tested" says Chairman Combs, eve

ture." Mr.. Combs says there win be
no contest for governor. and he has
never advised that the governorship
should be contested.

Whatever may be demonstrated by such
war, al this time there is no question
that Russia Is an unknown quantity.
Since she figured last in any important
European contest she has developed
amazingly in all her resources and, in her
military strength. Within the last TWEEN
~ years, progress has made more rapid
strides throughout the empire than In the
preceding 100 years. Her population is
greater than that of any two nations of
Europe. From the gigantic numerical
strength OF her army alone she must nee

the number of her soldiers is by no means
her only strength In military power,
discipline and equipment she has latterly
taken her place among the first of the
