STATE IN DOUBT.
Wednesday Mornings Returns
Not Decisive
AN AVERAGE VOTE POLlED
Nebraska Claimed by Uoth Parties Re-
turns Come IN Most Agx%rnsntingiy
slow. and Indicate u close
Election other scws

The election In Nebraska Tucsday
was so close that ut 1880 a. M. Wedncs-
day the state ticket. the Legislature aud
three congressional districts are in
doubt.
The republican claim the election
OF Mickey and the stat , ticket. the leg
islature, and the election of Hiushaw
In the Fourth, and Mccarthy II the
Fifth. and believe they have Kinkaid
in the sixth.
At the headquarters the accountants
tabulated the returns The first twenty
precincts 10 be heard from gave "a de-
cided impetus to Thompson stock, as
they showed a gain for him Of nearly
500.
II required "a gain of about eight
votes to the precinct tn wipe out Judge
Sedgwicl's majority of 1900. The
gain of Thompson averaged about four
to n precinct. outside of Lancaster and
Douglcs, indicating that unless mex
pcctcd changes occur in the later re-
turns. Mr.. Mickey will he elected by
anywhere from five to eight thouss nd.
This computation takes no account Of
Lancaster county, which will give
Mickey 1000 majority or practically the
majority that was given Judge Scdg-
wick, nor for Douglas. which IL expect
ed to give as large a majority for Mr..
Thompson.
AS the night moved on returns
became still ore favorable to Mr..
Mickey. leading republicans to believe
that his success could be considered
certain. ID is believed that the country
precincts will come In at the close MS
strongly for Mickey as the first pre-
cincts heard from went for Thompson,
thus making the total ever more ia
vorable than the figures printed this
morning would indicate.
Outside of Douglas and Lancaster
counties the vote last year was APP
proXimatcly 1S0, 600. Out of this vote
Judge Sedgwick received n majority OF
about 5000. When $40 precincts repre-
senting about 55, 1000 votes had been
received, Thompson had made n net
gain of 954 votes over Hollenbeck.
Now this represents about onc-fourth
OF the votes outside of Douglas and
Lancaster. IT he gains in the rest as
he has In this %One-fOurth he will come
up to Lancaster and Douglas with II
gain of about 1880. Assuming that
Lancaster and Douglas Offset zach 9TH
er, the net majority of Mr.. Mickey will
then by 5000 less $500, or between
five and six thousand.
Some experts who analysed the fig
ures early this morning insisted that
Mr.. Mickey's majority would reach
5000. They c%ontended that the hostile
territory, except Douglas had been in
Guided In the table.

ORDER CAUSES DELAY
Added Work for Forest superintendent
In Black UiIIs

"""c" WORK Tor Forest superintendent
In Black mis-
The recent order issued by the COM
missioner of the general land office
requiring the superintendent of the
black Mills forest reserve to pass upon
all mineral lands on the reserve en-
tered for patent is causing much an
noyance and delay in the issuance of
patents. There have not been any
patents received at this office for min
eral lands for over u year, and il de-
velops that they are being held up by
the general land Office pending investi-
cation and report by the superintend-
cnt OF the forest reserve. This report
must be as to the general character of
the land. whether or not IN his opin-
ion 1t is more valuable for mineral
than for agricultural purposes, loca-
ton, water courses. and contour of the
region. Ii is asserted that this ruling
has been made entered as mineral in
years past that did not contain any
mineral. and it is the intention of the
department to prevent fraud. The
claim is made. however, that there are
very few cases where actual fraud was
intended. At that time the land was
not subject to homestead entry. and
the only way by which it could be OBJ
tained was under the mineral law. The
new regulation will add greatly to the
duties of the forest superintendent.

OF the future OF the republic. He refers
to the remarkable good order that has

nature of the Cuban people. The
president says also that the sanitary
condition of Cuba is today even better
than II was during the period Of Amer
lean Intervention.
Our relations with the United
States" continues the message. are
especially cordial. Proof of this Ia
found in the negotiations between
Cuba and the United States for a COM
mercial treaty on a basis of mutual
tariff concessions. II can he hoped.
from the sympathy with which the
American people regard us. and from
the manifest interest which President
Roosevelt entertains in the prosperity
of Cuba that a reasonable arrange
ment by means of this treaty, can be
arrived at"
President Palma's only reference TO
the Plat amendment was contained In
a statement TO the effect that he had
made ample appropriation to carry on
sanitation as provided for in the
