PATERSON MURDER CASE.
The Question of Cause of Death Now
 Being Investigated.

New York, Oct 31.-AVith the ending of the coroners inquest in the Jennie Rosschieter murder case in Paterson, Prosecutor Finley is ready ,o lay the matter before the grand jury. It is now believed that the great point in question as to what caused the death of the girl.
 When her body was found Coroner Vroom of Bergen county made an eX- animation and said her skull was frac- tured, which, coupled with her ex- posture to the night air for several hours caused her death. Then Coun7 ty Physician Mcbride of Passaic coun- ty saw Dr. Eroom and together they made an autopsy which showed no racture of the skull.
 Later Dr Mcbride examined all the organs of the body and found them normal. At the inquest he testified that he was positive the girl did not die of disease. Pressed by the Prose- cutor he said he believed something which acted as q poison had been ad- administered, what. he would not say.
 It now appears there may be some difficulty in determining what poison, if any. was administered. The body had been embalmed and this mitigated against the chemical analysis to show what poison caused death.

PRETTY RANCID.

Recently I visited small town ln the southern part of Kentucky, says a correspondent of the Denver News. "and called on the only merchant or the place. I found him opening ease of axle grease. He took off the lld or one of the small boxes of yellow grease and left it uncovered.
 "Soon an old colored man came ln' and noticing the axle grease, said:

 Another customer came in and MT Johnson lost sight of his colored friend for moment. Presently MT Johnson went to the back part of the store and said:

WILL LOSE CONGRESSMEN.
States Whose Gain in Population Was
 Small.

New York. Oct 31.-The announce ment of the population of the United States made by the census bureau. says a Washington special to the Times. has started speculation about the effect on the apportionment for members of congress.
 The increases or decreases in state representation depend on the feeling of congress which is yet to be elect ed. It is quite certain. however. that several states will lose. One of them is Nebraska. which has gained only 10000 population Another is Maine. which has gained only 3000O. Nevada shows q falling off in population. but is safe, for she has only one congress man now.
 The greatest gainer under the con- NSeryative estimate of an increase to 100000 to each representative would be Pennsylvania, which would gain three congressman. bringing her num- Der up to thirty-one. New York would gain two, reaching total of thirty six. Kentucky. Maryland. South Car olina and Virginia would each lose a congressman. which would not be off set by the gain of two in Texas.
 Maine and Vermont would each lose a congressman. though Massachusetts would gain one.
 Illinois would gain two. making her representation twenty-four. Of the other great middle states. Indiana Ohio and Minnesota would each lose one, while Michigan, Iowa and W:s- consin would neither lose nor gain Nebraska would lose one and New Jersey would gain one. These would be the only changes. The apportion- ment would add eleven to the represen- tation and substract ten, leaving net gain of one.
 There is hardly any. doubt that the new apportionment will not be made on any less basis than 100000.

 On Unimak Island. which guards one of the entrances to the Berlng Sea- q rude mound of rocks marks the fast resting place of Charles William An derson. sailor. fisherman and hunter
 Anderson starved to death on the bleak and barren island waiting for friends who deserted him. He died on June 19, 1899. and his skeleton in his bunk and his diary beside it were found by two hunters who were driven on the island during q storm.
 The diary was addressed to Andrew Goswold of Unga. who arrived here q few days ago with his friends last writings.
 Several vessels passed by his island prison. the pathetic record reads, but none saw Andcrson's flag of distress. Once q vessel was becalmed close to the shore and he tried to reach it, but he had not the strength left to launch his little boat. His legs had failed him and. he could only pull himself along by his elbows.
 He deliberated on shooting his dog Dempsey. but he could not get up enough courage to slay his faithful friend. He brought seals to me through the breakers" he wrote. and fed him as long as 1 could.'' Finally the dog disappeared.
 The diary records the terrible Suf- ferings Of Anderson from thirst and his expeditions after fresh water. The last entry says:
 June 19-I must go for water again l am more afraid this time than be. | fore. But with Gods help I may come back again. l would not like to dil l outside. But Gods will be 1one.'' | He had his wish for he returned and l died in his bunk

ELECTIONS IN CANADA,
Many Candidates For Seats in The
 House of Commons


 St John, \. B., Oct 31.-More than 4GO candidates for seats in the house of commons were declared officially nominated throughout Canada for the general elections which are to be held on Wednesday, November :. From reports so far received it is evident that the number of candidates return ed unOppOSed is smaller than for many years, thus indicating a bitterly con tested campaign.
 There are 215 members of parlia- ment to be elected in Canada and no government could be considered safe without winning at least no. The province of Ontario elects 92 members, Quebec 65; Noyo Scotia 20; New Bruns- wick 14; Manitoba ': Prince Edward Island ,. British Columbia and the northwest territories 1.
 The campaign in New Brunswick continues to be exceedingly spirited with the chief battle ground in this city. where Hon Andrew c. Blair, minister of railways and canals, is opposing Hon George F. Foster. finance minister of Canada. in the late conservative administration.
 Sir Charles Tupper, ex-premier of Canada and present conservative lead CT. was nominated for parliament to- day in Cape Breton county. Nova Scotia. His son, Sir Charles H. Tup- per- is conteSting one of the seats in Pictou county. The liberal finance minister. Hon w. s. Fielding, was re- nominated in Shelbourne, N. S., and Hon w. F. Borden, minister of militia and defense in Kings county, N. s.
 The principal issue in this city is that raised by both candidates, who accuse each other of fostering policies which would divert an immense grain export traffic from St John to Port land, Me. and Boston.
 Another issue being against Minister Blair is the letting of contracts for locomotives for the governments roads in MancP ester. N. H., and Philadelphia instead oI in Canada. The liberals are also charged with permitting . great American Oil company to enter the Canadian field and monopoliZe the oil trade.
