CLOSE VOTING IN ST. GEORGES

In st. Georges hundred, which
is the Thirteenth Representative
district of New Castle county, the
election Of 1902 resulted in the re-
turn of James T. Shallcross,
Democrat, for Representative by
a plurality of four votes. When
Chief Justice Lore and Judge
Spruance got through canvassing
the returns of the district, this
plurality of four for Mr.. Shall
cross was converted into a plural
ity of one vote for his Republican
opponent, Leonard V. Aspril.
At the election of Tuesday last,
the vote for Representative in
St. Georges hundred showed a
plurality of four votes for Frank
J. Pennington over his Republican
opponent, Jacob Emerson. Sat
urday afternoon, when Chief JUS
tice Lore and Judge Spruance
completed the canvass OF the re-
turns of this district, Mr.. Pen
ington' S margin of four votes had
been dissipated and the vote was
a tie.
The tied vote will necessitate a
special election, and it is prob
able that the candidates for Rep
resentative at the special elec-
ton will be Mr.. P:nington and
Mr.. Emerson, who were the con-
testants on Tuesday last.
The Democrats of st. Georges
hundred should resolve that
when this special election is held
there shall be no debauchery OF
the suffrage, such as disgraced
the election of Tuesday last, ac-
cording to reports. Let them
form themselves into vigilance
committees, and watch the voting
so closely that it will be impossi-
BILE for the votebuyers to prose-
cute their work without detec.
ton. Let them resolve to pros
ecute every man who attempts
to corrupt the suffrage to the
slightest extent.
By this means it may be pos.
sible to ascertain what the actual,
honest political sentiment of St
Georges hundred is.
To people in Middletown,
Odessa and Port Penn, who were
compelled on November 8th to
see the open purchase and de-
,bauchery of the young Demo
cratic voters blythe men who rep
resented the whiskey element
of Democracy, the above from
EUery EUening would be ridicu-
lous if it were not SO serious.
The idea Of Democrats of st.
Georges Hundred attempting to
stop vote buying! They can do it
at any election. The way to
stop a thing is to stop it.
If the Democrats are COM
PEELED to 60 into the special elec-
ton to decide the above contest,
without at least several hundred
dollars, large percentage OF
their voters will refuse to vote.
They always have been paid for
voting and will not vote without
pay. There has not been an
election in the memory of any
man now living that the Demo
Gratis of st. Georges Hundred did
not buy votes. For years, no
serious attempt was made to pur-
chase the Republicans for the
reason that none of the white
ones were for sale and the colored
ones were not permitted to vote.
But of late at every election there
is an effort to seduce the colored
vote, but so far it has only re-
suited in Middletown in the pur-
chase one colored mans vote,
and that was at the last election.
By all means, let US ascertain
what the actual, honest politi-
cal sentiment of st. Georges
Hundred. THE TRANSCRIPT will
do all in its power to bring about
this result. Will the Democrats:

Statistics Of the Bureau Of Labor, Az
ricuIture and Industry.

Helena, Nov. 4.-Louis p. Benedict,
chief clerk TO Commissioner j. A. Fer
guSOn OF the state bureau OF labor,
agriculture and industry, has prepared
a table for use in the forthcoming BIZ
ennial report, showing the production
OF the coal mines of Montana for the
past two years. In 1902 Cascade
county led in the production OF coal,
the aggregate being 791 ,949 tons. Car
bon county was second, producing
548.923 tons. The value OF the coal
produced in Cascade county was ST.
O72.13O, and in Carbon county $685.
231. The value OF all coal produced
in the state was $~2,222,488.
In 1903 Cascade county led with a
total of 776,234 tons, while Carbon
county was second with 582,497 tons.
The total number of tons produced in
the state was 1,553,285. The value OF
the coal was S2,524,O69. The total
amount of capital invested was $5,-
567, 200. The amount paid for labor
was ~$1,712,O92. An average of 2,112
men were employed, as against 1874
in 1902.
The report, in telling of the coal
bearing area of Montana, as compared
with other states, says:
"The area of c~oal-bearing formation
in the state is estimated to be 10000
square miles, exclusive of the Ignite
bearing formations, according to the
United States geological survey. The
rank of the fields, as compared with
the other states, is ninth. The rank
in production among the states is
twentieth. Colorado and Wyoming
are the only states in the Rocky
mountains which surpass it in produc-
ton, the former occupying the posi-
ton of eighth and the latter twelfth,
whereas Colorado stands fifth in point
of area and Wyoming sixteenth.

has received a private letter from
Phoenix stating that Governor Brodie

''The sisters claim that a majority

ter received by Wells is the first au-
thentic information bearing on the
movements of the governor, who left
Phoenix without letting his purpose
be known.

The correspondent of the Associated
Press here has received information,
the reliability of which is beyond
question, that the Japanese now oc
cupy positions which place the east
side of the town at their mercy.
The last assault has gained for
them positions which insure their
ability to enter the main forts when
ever they are ready.
1t is calculated by the Japanese
that if the Russians do not surrender,
the former will be capable of prolong-
ing their final stand at Lioa mountain
and on the Tigers Tail for a month
longer, with the mere hope of prolong-
ing the struggle.
Long before the second Pacific
squadron arrives the Japanese flag
will wave over the wrecked citadel.
This will end Viceroy Alexieff's dream
of an unconquerable city.
Japs Bide Their Time.
The Japanese have not occupied the
main forts and highest points of the
east hills, but they occupy in over
whelming numbers positions which
will enable them to drive the Russians
back whenever they desire.
When the Japanese occupy the east
fort ridge they will completely domi-
nate the other Russian forts with their
artillery.

tured Rihlung mountain and Sungshu
mountain, which lie between the rail-
road and Rihlung mountain. They
also report that the Japanese have
captured East Keekwan mountain.
keekwan Untenabie.
Conservative Japanese, realizing the
intense desire Of the Japanese for
good news on the emperor's birthday,
receive the above reports with re-
erve. Regarding the capture of Rib
lung and Sungshu mountain, the re-
port is not considered improbable, but
Japanese say that it is not intended to
occupy East Keekwan mountain.
In August the Japanese succeeded
in entering East Keekwan fort, as
was related in these dispatches at
that time, but under the concentrated
fire of the other forts were compelled
to retire. Japanese officers here say
that it is impossible to hold East
Keekwan and therefore an attack On
that position is presumably only a
feint.
When the Japanese occupied the
Russian trenches On Rihlung mountain
it is said that the Russians turned a
current of water into the trenches.
but that the .Japanese held fast. Pre-
vious to this Japanese shells exploded
two large land mines on Rihlung
mountain.
Fighting Now.
A censored dispatch from the Assoc
ciated Press correspondent with the
Japanese army does not give any par
ticulars of a general engagement going
on at Port Arthur, but it is certain
that it occurred and that some forts
we're captured. Terrific explosions
heard here indicate that the Russians
have exploded mines and destroyed
other property.

During the night of October 20 all
the reserves advanced through a net

the west of Rihlung mountain, called
by the Japanese Shochosan.
