cratic pluralities fell far behind the
hopes of the leaders. In the state at
large Roosevelt ran far ahead of the
mckinley vote. while Parker ran be-
hind the Bryan vote of 1900.
The Watson vote and the Social

heavy votes.

omcial count of the ballots cast for the
presidential electors at last Tuesdays s
election in Maryland will be required
DeIore dehnite knowledge of the result
can De assured, was demonstrated to-
night by the semi-offic cial count in Bal

three counties of the state
me unofhc1al returns received TINS
far Indicate that seven Democratic
electors and one Republican elector
was chosen The congressional situa-
ton remains unchanged. three Demo
cratic and three Republican congress
men having been elected.
The state board of canyassers will
make the official announcement of the
vote. This board must meet and com
plete Its labors within thirty DAYS after
the day of election.
1t Is explained by the election SUPER
visors and the political leaders that the
mis-marking of ballots caused the dis
crepancy between the vote for the ma.
uonal and the congressional candi-
dates. In this connection charges of
fraud are made by the leaders of both
parties and 1t will be necessary to
await the official count to decide the
vote.
or the presidential electors II is safe
to say that by the unofficial count
charles j. Bonaparte. Republican, of
Baltimore, was elected and the remain
ing seven Maryland members of the
electoral college were chosen by an
average majority of about 400 by the
Democrats. The vote for the candi-
dates on the Socialist, Prohibition and
Union Labor tickets has not been can
vassed.
Both Democratic and Republican
leaders say that frauds and irregular
tiles were used in several counties and
hundreds of ballots have been held up
by the supervisors in Baltimore and in
at least three counties. It will, there
fore. require the decision of the state
board of canvassers to determine the
actual result.
Congressman William H. Jackson,
who, on the face of the returns in the
First congressional district. was de-

ALASKA COVERED
BY NEW TELeeRAp4Ic SYSTEM
More Than 1000 Miles of cabIe-Ex.

cessfuI Wireless Lines.

Washington. Nov. 14.-Gen. A W.
Greely. chief signal officer of the United
States army, in his annual report,
gives an interesting account of the
work performed by his corps in estab-
fishing an all-American telegraphic
system in Alaska. saying the undertake
ing Is unique in the annals of tele-
graphic engineering.
The cable used in the Alaskan sys-
tenn would reach from New Foundland
to Ireland, and the land lines from
Washington to Texas, there being 2,079
miles of cable, 1.439 miles of land lines
and 107 miles of wireless liness- "a,
General Greely says the United States
has brought southeastern Alaska, the
Yukon valley and the Bering Straits
region into Geographic communication
with the rest of the civilized world.
General Greedy says that after thor
ough consideration he decided to in
stall material of American manufac-
ture, to be operated by American SOL
diers and to be laid by American ships,
except some cable instruments and ma
chinery. selected force of men has
been SO trained that to-day the signal
corps of the army is competent to op-
crate in war emergencies submarine
cable of any length.
Repairs in Alaska are maintained"
the report says. "by parties stationed
at log cabins about forty miles apart.
one signal corps repair man with two
assistants of the line of the, army and
a dog team being at each cabin. The
men meet the terrible conditions of
hardship and privation uncomplain-
ingly and with fortitude characteris-
tic of the American soldier.
The report says the new wireless sta.
ton has daily transmitted the entire
telegraphic business of the peninsula,
5000 words being exchanged in one
afternoon between Safety Harbor and
St. Michael. The signal corps of the
army, he says, is now regularly operat-
ing the longest wireless section of any
commercial telegraphic system in the
world.
The annual business of the Seattle
cable is estimated at $25.000 and dur
ing the year there has been spent $780,
935 for Alaskan kilograms handled by
the signal corps.
Speaking of the philippines, he says
the sixteen most important islands OF
the archipelago are now connected by
cable, which lines, he adds, are recog-
nized as Indispensable. both by the mil
itary and civil authorities.
During the year there has been col
lected and deposited in the insular
treasury of the Philippine telegraph
lines receipts to the amount of S58,675,
there having been sent, including
government business. all told. more
than 100000 messages, the net ex-
pense being 1925, ,901.
The report says it is a matter of the
utmost Importance that signalling ap-
paratus of suitable character be in
stalled at the more important military
defenses at the Atlantic and Pacific
coast, to permit of intercommunication
between the army and the navy.
1t is strongly urged in the report
that steps be taken by the United
States to adhere to the international
telegraphic union and that interna-
tional regulations to govern wireless
telegraphy in time of war be adopted.

FUNNY SWELL FISH.
Pufferv tn Jolliest Member of the
Finny Tribes in Salt Water.

Pufferv tn Jolliest Member of the
Finny Tribes in Salt Water.
The funniest little fellow in salt
water is the puffer, or swell fish.
Fishermen call him the blow fish.
When he is swimming around at
ease, with nothing to alarm him, he
looks queer enough, for the skin of
his abdomen is all loose and wrinkled,
and he has such a big. three-cornered
head that he looks entirely absurd.
His mouth, instead of being big and
gaping, as most fish mouths are, is
only a tiny round hole at the end of
q pointed, conical snout. Out of this
circular mouth protrude his teeth, like
those of rabbit.
He would be about as homely fish
as could be made if it were not for
the beautiful orange and yellow and
silver colorings that play all over aim.
But queer as he looks when he is at
ease, it is only when he is frightened
or excited that he becomes really
funny. If he is hooked, for instance,
he comes to the surface grinding those
protruding teeth so that the sound
can be heard good many feet away
And then, as soon as the hand touches
him, he begins to grunt hoarsely, and
with each grunt he swells bit, till
within a few moments he has puffed
himself so full of air that when the
fishermen hurl him at the water with
all their force he simply bounds and
rebounds like a rubber ball.
If he is dropped into the water after
blowing himself full of air, he floats
on it as lightly as thistledown, and
he will stay that way until he has as
sured himself that danger has gone
by. He does the same thing when be
is pursued by other fish. And as he
floats almost entirely out of water,
with only a little bit of his hard,
spiny body sunk under the surface.
very few fish can hurt him once he is
inflated Washington Post.
