ALDRICH CASE
The Contest Depended on Dal-
 las County.
SOME INTERESTING FIGURES
Minority Renders Report in Favor of Robbins, and Shows That With Votes Thrown Out He Still
 Has Majority

Washington, February 17.-(Spechal)- The house committee on elections has made its report on the election contest case of William P. Aldr1ch against Gaslton A. Rob- bins from the Fourth congressional district of A1abama As has been heretofore pub lished, the report recommends that MT. Aldrich, the republican contestant, be seat ed.
 The majority report is signed by six of the committee, all republicans, and the minority by -the three democrats. The con- tent4on is made entirely over the vote of Dallas county, MT. AldG1ch alleging fraud in the returns from that county and irregu- lartty in the appointment of the election officers in that county. It is held by the majority that the three county officers who constituted that board to appoint election officers in Dallas county were all democrats and supporters of MT. Robbins. The major ity of the committee further holds that the appointing board refused ito give proper represent ation to Mir. A1drich in the election officials in eleven precincts, and moreover declined to give him prGor to election day information as to what election officers had been chosen. They also contend that the law which requires the sheriff to notify
  ten days of their appointment was generally disregarded
 The population of Dallas county, accord ing to the last census, shows 2,146 whites and S,531 negroes, while thalt for the entire district is 19,151 whites and 16,311 colored. The vote as cast in Dallas county gave Robbins 2,43S and Aldrich 392 while in the district Robbins had 6915 and Aldrich 5,6S5. The revised vote made by the majority re- port gives Ribbins 1889 and Aldrich 7S4, making a sufficient change in the vote Tn the district to give Aldrich majority or 2O6 and dlel-iting him.
 The minority report maintains that there is no law compelling an appointing board to appoint the men asked for by either party, and contraverts all charges of fraud. This report contends, however, that should the house throw out the ten precincts in Dallas county suggested by the majority report Robbins would still have majority Of three hundred and eigthty-nine votes in the twenty-one- precincts which the majority find were honestly returned, the votes proved by each by the aliende evidence be- ing added thereto.

THE CASUALTIES IN
 GREAT BATTLES
From the Chicago Times-Herald.

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
 In proportion to the number Of men en- gagged upon. both sides there have been practically no marked losses of life in the Transyaal campaign. The forces of Eng land in South Africa are rapidly approach ing 200 OG0 in number. The highest estimate placed upon the size of the Transvaal army is S9OOO Englishmen and Boer have con- fronted each other in battle since October 12, or four months tomorrow morning. The number of Englishmen killed, woulded and missing or taken prisoners does not yet exceed 10000 In all probability, owing to their intrenched positions, and the moun- tain embellishments which surround them, the Boers have not lost over two-thirds this number It is fair to suppose that the total losses on both sides in 120 days of fierce campaigning do not exceed 1000 men. The killed on both sides do not number 1,500. This Is a merciful var, so far taking human life Is concerned. just as all war is beneficial in it's destruction of waste forces and vitalizing power upon the best which survives. The words "carnage" and Slaughter" have no real place so far in the Transvaal fighting. Why, Kitchener en one day alAre-September 3. 1saS-de- str1yed at omds.Tnsn 17.000 dervissers-mis- cratic.
