than detract from the fusionist victory
of yesterday. For mayor, Edward M.
Shepard (Dem.) appears to have carried
only single borough, and in this bor-
ough, Queens, his plurality will not
amount to more than a few hundred.
Seth Low, former president of Colum.
bia university, the fusionist candidate
for mayor, was elected by a plurality
ranging from 80, 900 to 10000.
In the county of New York the last
remaining hope of the Democrats ap'
pears to have been swept away by fig.
ures indicating the defeat of John T.
Oakley for sheriff. William n O'Br1.
ems majority, however, will probably
not amount to more than 5000 or 4, 600.
All of the fusionisG candidates for
justice of the supreme court in New
York county are elected and all of the
Democratic candidates are beaten. The
name of Justice O'Brien, however, ap.
pears on both tickets as candidate for
Justice of the supreme court.
The maiorities of the fusionist candi-
dates for justice of the supreme court
and for William Travers Jerome, the
fusionist nominee for district attorney,
are even larger than reported last night.
Complete figures indicate that Jerome
will carry this district, New York coun-
ty, by about $1,000. So badly was may
or Van Wyck scratched that the returns
indicating his vote for justice of the su-
preme court are late and it is difficult
to even attempt to estimate the final
figures, but 1t is believed he will run
nearly 80, 900 behind some of his asso.
ciates on the county and judicial ticket.
In addition to the election of an entire
new assembly, two state senators were
voted for at the recent election. The
senators were elected to fill vacancies
caused by death in the Thirtieth and
Forty -thir@ senatorial districts. In the
Thirtieth district William D. Barnes
(Rep.l was elected, while in the Forty
third district Morton e. Lewis, one of
the Republican leaders in the last as
sembly. won. The election of Messrs.
Barnes and Lewis leaves the senate un'
changed. There will be 35 Repu blicans
and 10 Democrats in the senate Of 1909,
which is the same number each party
had in the senate of 1901. The assem-
bly, of 1902 will probably stand as fol-
lows:
Republicans and fusionists, 108; Dem.
ocrats, AZ.
This is in all probability Republican
and fusionist gain of three, leaving the
Democrats in minority of SO.
Seth Low, as mayor of Greater New
York, will have salary of $4,000. He

The difficulty experienced by the
British army in South Africa of util-
izing horses has suggested that some
substitute be obtained. The OK, that
is so serviceable to the Beers, is too
slow for the purposes of the Britons,
and hence II. j. Stordy, veterinarian
of wide repute, suggests the use of
the zebra, says London paper
There are enormous numbers OF
these beautiful animals, which are
naturally exempt from the attacks of
the tsetse fly, rinderpest and other
local diseases, which destroy Euro
pean horses and cattle. The diff
cultics in the way of their domestica-
tion are not insurmountable. Mr..
Stordy suggests the construction of
special kraals. into which droves of
the zebra could be enticed or driven.
Once captured, he would leave the
animals pretty much to their own
devices.
"The animals being in this way CON
fined within the kraal, they would
naturally" he says, propagate their
species. 1t is with the offspring that
