Five Killings i'm Kentucky, Tuesday,
as the Result of Political
Arguments.

Louisville, KY, Nov. s.-Five killings
have occurred in various parts of the
state resulting from political differ
ences of opinion. At Versailles the
t~en-year-old sons of George Woodruff,
the town marshal of Midway, KY, and
Alfred Stanhope, q~uarreled over poll
tics recently, and the quarrel was
taken up by the boys fathers. A fight
between the elders resulted, Tuesday,
in the killing of Stanhope. Thomas
Etherton, a bystander, also received
a bullet which will probably result IA

In Harlan county John Day shot
and killed Henry Osborn during a POI
litical argument.
At Middlesboro, Grant Raines, col
ored, and John Griffith, white, got
into an argument Tuesday night.
Raines was shot through the heart,

Robert Muncie, a farmer living near

NEWFOUNDLAND ELECTIONS,
Voting TO-Day to End a Campaign
of Bitterness-Riv-
err Versus Rail-.

st. Johns, n. F., Nov. S.-The new
foundland general election will be
held to-day. Day by day the campaign
has increased in bitterness. Many ex-
traordinary phases have been devel-
oped, showing how strenuously the
fight is being waged by Mr.. Reid, the
contractor, in whose interest the
tories are working, that he may be
enabled to transfer his extremely val
liable franchises, affecting the whole
country, to a limited liability com
pany.
Mr.. Reid controls she railway lines,
and the liberals have been unable to
obtain special trains to convey to
their homes from other districts vot-
ers in ST. Johns. They have been
obliged to charter 4 sealing steamer,
the Diana, and dispatched 400 men
last night. Mr.. Reid IS carrying train
loads of voters for the tory party.
The election virtually amounts to a
contest for the masteryof the colonial
legislature. Mr.. Morine, who Is MI.
Reid's general counsel, is leading the
tories, and a number ofReid employees
are among the tory candidates. Ii the
tories win, Mr.. Reid will control the
government. The present pond min,
istry is strongly opposed to his policy

LAUNCH OF THE ARKANSAS.
The Harbor-Defense Monitor Arkansas
Successfully Launched as New.
port News, va.

Newport News, Va, Nov 12.-An-
other of Uncle Sans men-of-war was
put afoat here Saturday. 1t was the
monitor Arkansas. She was released
from her ways in the yards of the
Newport News Ship Building and Dry
Dock Co., and she glided gracefully
into the waters of the James river.
Gov. Jones and party from Arkan-
sas witnessed the launching as the
guests of the builders of the monitor.
Miss Bobbie Newton Jones, daughter
of the governor, christened the vessel
by breaking the customary bottle OF
champagne, on her bow as she start
ed down the ways. h launching
was successfully accomplished.
The Arkansas is a harbor defense
monitor, which will have all the lat
est improvements known to naval
science, and will be an important Id
dition to the navy, being small, with
large accommodations for a crew for
a vessel of the size. 1t will be yalua-
BILE for the use and instruction of the
naval militia, that important organi-
cation which has SO ably served the
government in the late "a with
Spain.
The naval programme for 1s9S-9e,
under the act of May 4, 1898, provides
for three first-class battleships, four
harbor defense monitors, of which the
Arkansas is one; IL torpedo boats and
is torpedo-boat d~estroyers.
The four harbor defense monitors
called for will present some of the
most radical advances in the modern
fighting machinery. The monitor
principle has always been distinctive
ly American. There are many who re-
gard them as the best all-round war
ships yet designed. The act of con-
gress appropriating for the naval
service for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1899, under increase of the
navy" referring to the our harbor
defense vessels of the monitor type.
limits the cost of these vessels to ST.
100000 each. The limit of time of
completion is twenty-seven months,
with the penalties from $500 to $500
a day for failure.
The navy department., in the con-
struction of this class of vessels, Sc
curing the greatest results at the
least expenditure of money, has in
view not only the securing of the
mainland harbors of the United
States, but also of its island posses
sions in the Atlantic and Pacific
cean. The design for the monitors,
of which the Arkansas is the first to
be completed, was prepared by Chic:
Constructor Hichborn. 1t was de-
cided that the best all-around ar
rangement that could be made with
the available appropriation was the
arrangement with a single balance
turret on the center line forward,
containing two high power 12-inch
breech loading rifles, a gun that has
just been designed to be used with "a
smokeless powder; four finch rapid
fire breech loading rifles, also to be
used with smokeless powder, COM
pletes the main battery. The second
airy battery will consist of the three
6-pounder rapid-fire and four 1-pound-
er automatic rifles.

President Mckinley was reelected
president by probably the highest
ELECTORAL vote ever given a candidate
for the presidency-exceeding the
xote for Cleveland in the landslide of
1892.
He will have a majority of 129 in the
electoral college, with Nebraska's
vote in doubt. According to the very
latest returns, the figures are McKin-
ley, 2s4; Bryan, 1856; doubtful, 8.
Mckinley carried all the states re-
garded as doubtful, including Indiana,
Illinois, Ohio and Maryland. He has
gained South Dakota, Utah, Washing
ton, Wyoming and Kansas.
: Kentucky, while counted in the
Bryan column, may be yet a doubtful
state. The returns indicate a very
close election and much of the repub-
lican mountain territory is to be heard
from.
