IN MEMORY OF GUTENBERG.
Robert Hoe Has Medal Designed
by an European Artist.

NEW YORK, Sept 16.-Robert Hoe, the
widely known manufacturer of printing
presses, has had medal designed TO
commemorate the Eve hundredth ami
yersary of the birth of Gutenberg. the
inventor of printing who was born at
Mainz in 400. Only few of the msdlls
have been strack of for Mr.. Hoes
friends.
The design is by Anton Scharff, of
Vienna. On one side appears the sirspls
hand power printing press used by
Gutenberg in 1850. and this inscription:
ITO the Honor and Memory of Johan
Gutenberg. Inventor of Movable Types
On the other side Of the medal appears
a Hoe octuple press and this inscription:
"Octuple press, printing $4,000 + ur page
newspapers per hour. Invented and con-
structed by r. Hoe & Co. In 1896 The
whole is surrounded By border bearing
the words: I'm commemoration of the
five hundredth anniversary OF th7 birth
of Gutenberg" The contrast between the
modern press and Its ancient prototype
is a striking one. The medal is OF
bronze, and is tive and two thirds inches
In diameter

THE CUBAN ELECTIONS.
Rcturns slow In Coming In From the
Provinces.

HAVANA, Sept. 1e.-The full results of
constitutional convention are not yet
known The returns for Havana Province,
however, are practically all in. General
IaCret heads the list, with 1875 votes,
followed by MAJOR Rodriguez, Ge:..
Manuel Sanguilly, Nunez. Berriel, Tama-
yo, and Zayas, In the order given. Senior
Zayas polled $3.50 votes. Returns from a
few municipalities are yet to be received,
but 1t is not believed that they will change
the result in this province.
The National party has elected six repre-
sentatiyes. Seniors Sangullly and Berrie.
are Fusionists. The ninth delegate, Senior
Pierra, belongs to the Democratic Union.
He polled $3.50 votes. The Fusionists did
not vote consistently as is evidenced BY
the fact that Sanguilly obtained 1l.043
votes against Pierra's $3.50. 1t is probable
that many Nationals voted for Sanguilly
end also that many Republicans voted for
their own candidate. thus splitting the Fu-
sionist ticket. Out of $4,000 voters in Ha-
yana Province, probably considerably less
than half voted. There were less yesterday
than In the preceding elections. Though
the leaders were very keen the people were
somewhat Indifferent.
The Nationals claim that more would
nave NOleu, Dut tue patty was
split. The party. however, showed ex-
traordinary discipline. In some of the
country districts the electors voted as
one man Tor the Eve National candidates,
not a single vote being cast for their OPP
ponents. The Fusionists are satisfied with
the result in Havana City, where they
claim they received their due. but they
say they should have shown some strength
in the country districts.
The Conservatives express no regret for
not going to the polls. They say they
have shown that they have some strength,
and that If the Cuban officials had been
Conservatives. they would probably have
done far better. 1t is probable that in
Pinar Del Rio Seniors Quesada, Quilez, and
Ruis Rivera have been elected, and in
Puerto Principe, Seniors Silva and Sal
yador Cisneros. The Cubans like the
ballot system very much. The men so
far elected will probably prove very
friendly, though Senior Sanguiiiy may
prove to be turbulent.
General Wood has gone to Santa Clara.
The War Department yesterday re-
ceived the following despatch from Gsn-
eral Wood at Havana:

she could never liouidate in money. and
which would have to be settled in terri

RepubIicanism and Trusts.

(From the Peoria Herald Transcript
Tie Republicans are trying to get credit for

trust lass. This is certainly something to be
proud Of. seeing the way the trusts have grown
