HERRICK HAD BIG VOTE.
Republicans Make Gains in Ohio
Legislature Hanna's.

Columbus, O., Nov. 4.-Shortly be-
fore midnight Chairman Dick announc-
ed that Mryon T. Herrick's plurality
for governor over Tom L. johnson would
exceed 125, 900. 1t is thought that the
Republican majority on joint ballot
will exceed "a.
Almost all the returns received were
irons the cities on which the usual
rate of gains or losses Oou'd not be def
nitely determined, but most OF them
made such Republican gains over their
vote of last April, with which COMPARE
sons could be made, as to indicate that
the drift was with the Republicans in
the towns even greater than in the rur-
al districts, where the Republicans
were gaining dozen to the precinct
over the vote of last year, when the
Republicans had a plurality of over
10000.

FIGHT ON LOTTERY.
President Palma Declares He Will
Exercise Veto Power.

ExerC1se veto POWER.
Havana, Nov. 9.-The first serious
conflict between President Palma and
the Cuban congress will come on the
proposed national lottery bill. The
advocates of the scheme are working up
a sentiment in it's favor, under the pre-
text that if it shall be passed it will
provide all needed revenues for the
payment of the claims of the veterans
of the war for the independence of
Cuba.
In view of the failure of the loan
commissioners who recently visited the
United States to float the bond issue,
the arguments of the lottery advocates
are having much more weight than
would otherwise he the case. In this
connection the attitude of President
Palma is very interesting. He declares
that he will veto any lottery bill that
may be passed, and he has steadfastly
declined to change his views despite
the strong pressure put upon him by
those having the war claims in charge.
That his resolution will be tested seems
an assured fact, as the bill is assured of
passage. The outcome of the affair is
awaited with great interest by Cubans
OF every class

great disorder, following the chief

NOT ALL SETTLED
STRIP OF ALASKA BOUNDARY
STILL UNDECIDED.
Said There Was Not Sufficient Data
Before Boundary Commission to
Thumb Ten Hates Needle, a Dis
lance of 40 Miles.

Washington, Nov. 6.--An Important
fact in connection with the recent de-
liberatIons of the Alaska boundary trib-
unal has just developed. 1t appears
that a stretch of territory lao miles in
length and of uncertain width is still
in dispute, and is likely to remain so
for some time to come. The full Gig
nificance of the matter was not appre-
ciated by the president or the officials
of the state department until within
the last two or three days, owing to
an error in the transmission of the
summary of the tribunals award as
cabled from London.
A close reading of this summary made
it appear that the members of the trib-
unal were unable to determine, on &C.
count of lack of data, the exact course
the boundary should take along the
short defiance between Kate's Needle
and DEVILS Thumb mountain peaks,
belonging to the main range between
British Columbia and Alaska. Even
this point was generally unnoticed by
the public. 1t now appears that the
territory still unawarded stretches over
the 140 miles extending north and
south between Kate's Needle and Dew.
IFS Paw, region of the widest char
acter. There is remote possibility
that future developments will make it
cause for regret that the question of
sovereignty over the entire region was
not settled.
The part of the line in question con-
stitutes nearly quarter of the whole
boundary line between Alaska and the
Britishpossessions. DEVILS Paw is
prominent mountain peak about seven
ty-five miles southeast of Skagway.
Kate's Needle is peak 140 miles due
south Of DEVILS Paw.
The members of the tribunal were
unable to determine precisely what
course the line should take between
these mountain peaks, for the charts
showing the international provisional
survey of 1898 failed to give any data
as to the summit of the range at inte-
rior points. At other points the sur
vey map showed that the work had
been carefully done.
The provisional survey was a badly
botched job, because the part OF the
work affecting the part Of the region
now in question was left to the Cana
dian members of the survey party and
they were bent on doing nothing to
help the American cause. The portion
of the international boundary left un-
settled cannot be fixed " ithout further
negotiation between the United States
and Great Britain, looking to the franz
ing of new treaty for this particular
purpose, and therefore requiring ratifi-
cation by the United States senate.
It is believed that at least one men,
Der OF the BritiHh side of the tribunal
in London would have been willing to
settle the 140-mile strip by drawing
straight line between Kate's Needle
and DEVILS Paw, but the American
commissioners were unwilling to do 30
in the absence of reliable data, for fear
of giving away territory which ought
TO be retained for us.

HARD TIMES IN HONDURAS.
Probable Paralysis When the Panama
Canal La Built

British Honduras is sometimes called
the Ireland of America. Blessed with a
soil of unsurpassed fertility a mild and
eQuable climate and a variety of natural
productions but rarely found within so
restricted an area, the colony is yet af-
flicted with hard times. Although one
of the most thinly populated of the
habitable regions of the globe, the num-
Der of its Inhabitants Is constantly de-
creasing; the labor market is over
clining, trade and commerce languish
and the pinch of depression is felt by
all classes.
The reason for this state of affairs Is
not hard to discover. It is the same
curse that has crushed ireland, absentee
landlordism, in little different but no
less fatal form The area of the colony
is only 1886 square miles. OF this. $500
square miles, or one-third, is owned by
one London land company. In all, more
than four fifths of the colony is the
property of a handful of English pro-
prietors who will not sell nor lease nor
permit settlement or cultivation. They
derive sure, steady and perpetual in
come by working the mahogany, rose
wood, cedar, logwood and other natural
products of the forests, and for this
reason desire to keep their domains
forever a wilderness.
An effort has been made to compel
these absentee landlords to sell their
holdings at an appraised valuation.
However, so OVerShadOWing is their in
fiuence that the laws passed for this
purpose have proved imperative. 1t,
therefore, seems probable that the coun-
try will long continue to be held in
pawn by few English proprietors, who
have never even visited its shores, and
that it's wealth will be sent abroad to
enrich the Golfers of strangers, instead
of remaining to stimulate trade and in
dustry at home.-Brooklyn Eagle
