te de los Estados Unidos.
El resultado del escrutinio parecfa
| dudoso al brirse las oficiras electo-
rales Ell martes por la manana,; pero
dei6 de serlo desde que comenz6 ell

ell candidate republican, de 1900, Mr..
Mac Kinley, que, por otra parte,
Mr.. Parker tenfa mepos votos que Ell

que habfan votado por Ell candidate
socialista.
Desde este momento Ell resultado
era cierto. Mr.. Parker no podfa ha-
Der sido elegido que ST, causa de IN
gran movimiento de opinion, hubiese
acaparado, como sucedi6 a.ntes con Mr..
Cleveland, todos los votos democrati-
COS Independence, mas un cierto
n6mero de votes republicanos disiden-
tes. Ahora bien, las disidencias re-
publicanas con las cuales Sc contaba
no Sc produjeron; al contrario, es en-
tre los dem0cratas donde han ocurrido |
disidencias, en- contra de las previsio-
nes de los partidarios de Mr.. Parker.
No solamente todos los Estados !
considerados como republicanos han
dado grandes mayorfas & 1Lr. Roose- |
velt, sino que hasta casi todos los
Estados dudosos, incluso ell de New

collection of minerals, including a
large number of ores, has been presented
to the Museum recently. In the collec-
ton are many fine specimens of lead ores,
some small but rich gold ores, and sever
al pieces of the rare ruby silver and
ruby copper" The latter are especially
beautiful when bright light strikes on
them and the small crystals are plainly
seen. A piece of W bite calcite from Can
ada-is attractive, and the specimens of
graphite from Ticonderoga are worthy
OF notice. A few OF these minerals are
displayed in a small case on the main
floor of the Museum, others are incorpor-
ated in the general collection shown in
the balcony, while many specimens are
reserved tor the use of the classes which
meet for study at the Museum.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday
gave decision, Justice Day writing
the opinion In favor of the Southern
Railway in the much-discussed James
case. Senator Overman and Judge
Avery were of counsel for the plaintiff.
and only a few weeks ago made argu-
ment before the court. The case came
before the court on a writ Of certiorari
from the United States Circuit Court
Ct Appeals. The judgment was af-
flrmed with costs and the cause was
r.manded to the Circuit Court OF the
United States for the western district
OF North Carolina. Under the decision
Mrs: James cannot enforce the judg-
ment for damages rendered by the
State courts to the amount Of $4,000
against the Western North Carolina
Railroad, nor can Mrs. Howard realize
on the $4,000 verdict.
