Both Parties Are Still Claiming the
Legislature.
AWAITING The OFFICIAL COUNT
Republicans Will Probably Con-
test in the Courts
MANY CHARGES OF FRAUD
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
BALTIMORE, Md, November Both
republicans and democrats are still claim
ing the general assembly of Maryland, and
nothing but the official count, which began
today, will determine the question. Even
then resort may be had to the courts before
the question is settled. The probabilities
are that the count will not be concluded
until very late today, and it may last for
several days.
There is no doubt in the minds of the best
informed people that a fair and honest
count will give the republicans control and
result in the defeat of Mr.. Germans sena-
torial aspirations. Enough is known al
ready to warrant the conclusion that the
republicans have fairly elected a majority
of the general assembly, but the democrats,
having control of the election machinery,
have held back returns from several places
and there is no telling what they will be
when they are produced.
The republicans have however, engaged
able counsel, and will contest every point,
and If the democrats attempt to win by
fra audulent work the public will be in
formed Of the fact. In every part of the
state the work of the returning boards is
being carefully watched, and every attempt
10 take advantage the SITUATION Will be
contested by the lawyers who represent the
republican party.
Senator McCOmas Managing Fight.
Senator McComas is here managing the
fight in the interest of the republicans and
he told The Star correspondent that he did
not believe the attempt of the democrats to
rob the republicans of their victory would
be successful The senator apparently has no
doubt as to the fact that his party has sue
ceeded in electng a working majority on
joint ballot Of the general assembly, and he
is determined that their rights shall be
maintained at all costs. In this view he is
supported by Chairman Goldsborough and
other leading republicans, as well as by a
large number of prominent democrats, who
are anxious to keep any stigma from the
fair name of the state
Popular opinion regardless of the party
is with the republicans in this contest to
prevent a fraud, and should a fraud be
perpetrated those who are guilty will be
held responsible. Mr. Gorman is here man
aging his fight. He refuses to say any
thing, but he is in close conference with
his lieutenants, and every move that is
made is directed by his hand He is de-
termined to get back to the Senate and is
apparently determined to- win no, matter
what methods he may have to use In order
to accomplish his purpose.

Address of the Judge Advocate to
the Court of Inquiry.
REVIEWS SCHLEY'S CONDUCT IN MAY
Charges Him With Unsteadiness
in Purpose,
WITH THE FLYING SQUADRON

The concluding argument before the
schley court of inquiry was begun at 2
o'clock this afternoon by Captain S. c.
Lemly, the judge advocate. Since Mr. Ray
ner completed his argument before the
court yesterday afternoon, the judge advo-
cate has been engaged in preparing his
remarks. which, to a large extent. were in
the form of an answer to Mr.. Rayner's
argument. The judge advocate was at the
court room quite early this morning. and
had not completed his argument until with
In short time before the court met.
The interest in the inquiry into the con-
duct of Admiral Schley during the naval
campaign of 1898, and in the final argu-
ment in the case was very apparent this
afternoon by the very large attendance in
the court room. All available seats were
occupied. and in the rear; of the room

VALUE OF PANAMA CANAL.
Mr.. Hutin's Offer Based on the Arbi-
tratiOn Plan of Settlement.

All that can be gathered in an unofficial
manner as to the character Of Mr. Hutin's
proposition in regard to the Panama canal
is that 1t is based, as already predicted,
upon the arbitration plan Of settlement
In other words, the Walker commission
and the Panama Canal Company finding
a great variance to exist between their
estimates Of the actual value Of the plant
of the company in Its present condition,
and its franchise rights, are to submit
these matters to the adjudication of arbitra-
ton, the judges to be specially chosen by
the two parties in interest after the usual
fashion. Then these arbitrators are to
take up the works item by item, calling
In. wherever necessary, experts In en-
gineering to act as special appraisers, and
thus make up a total estimate of the value
of the property. An important point which
remains obscure is whether or not the YER
dict thus found will be absolutely binding
upon both parties to the arbitration; here
tofore the canal company has held off from
a committal on this point.

THAT LETTER FROM MISS STONE.
Consul General Dickinson ChRgrined
by Its Publication.

SOFIA, Bulgaria, November Consul
General Dickinson Of Constantinople Is
greatly chagrined because the fact that he
had received a letter from Miss Ellen NJ.
Stone leaked out. He says 1t is calculated
to seriously affect, If not completely undo,
the progress already achieved. On two
previous occasions negotiations with the
brigands who abducted the American mis-
sionary were abruptly broken off by the
former owing to the premature disclosure
of secrets, which the bandits regarded as
being a breach of the understanding with
them.
Mr. Dickinson informed a representative
of the Associated Press today that IL Is alb
solutely indispensable If Miss Stone is ever
to be released that the course OF the nego-
tiations be kept inviolably secret. Her re-
lease is hopeless unless the brigands place
confidence in the negotiators.

OFFICIAL COUNT AT CUMBERLAND.
Little Prospect That Any Great
Changes Will BE Made.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CUMBERLAND, Md, November THE
official count is in progress here, but 1t is
not expected any changes will be shown
in results unless 1t be that County Com
missioner George Gep), defeated by u
votes on the unofficial returns, may pull
through. The democratic state committee
wired Mr.. Wilson, the German lieutenant
here, to employ two lawyers to watch the
official count and Ferdinand Williams and
DeWarren H. Reynolds are acting in that
capacity for Mr. German,
The republican state ticket carried the
county by about 800. The republicans are
indignant over the throwing out of ballots
by the Judges. In one Frostburg district
167 alleged defective republican ballots on
which the intent of the voter was clear
were thrown out. The counting Of parts of
these ballots would have saved nearly the
entire republican county ticket.

DEMOCRATS CLAIM CECIL COUNTY.
But This is Disputed by the Republi-

BALTIMORE, Md, November 7.-Returns
from Cecil county received this morning
show the election of two democratic and
one republican delegate in that county. but
the republicans still claim that the official
count will give them the solid delegation
1t also appears that Little, democrat, is
elected in the first legislative district OF
Baltimore city, but this, too, is disputed
by the republicans. These changes, IL they
hold good, will give the democrats control
of both branches of the legislature. In the
senate they have a majority OF nine with
out question, and the gain Of the three
members mentioned above will give them
a majority of three in the lower house.

source of general disappointment to a
large number of high ranking officers near
the retiring age, who have been counting
on retiring in a higher grade.
