when fraud is participated in and
money used, as has been in this cleo
ton, no one may know what to ex-
pect."
Returns received up to neon yes
terday indicate that Gov. Beckham
has defeated Senator McCreary in
the state primary for United State
Senator by majority ranging from
5000 to 1000. On the face of the
returns 50 far received Hager has a
substantial lead estimated at Is, 200.
Mr.. Newman for commissioner of
Agriculture, has a small lead over
Mr.. Crenshaw. while Gullon leads
Winfrey by 5,0OOfor Superintendent
of public Instruction. For Attorney
General Mr.. Hendricks leads by a
majority of $1,000 although the re
turns are not all in.
The rest of the ticket nominated
is as follows: For Lieutenant Gov
ernor, South Trimble. For Auditor,
H. NJ. Bosworth. For Secretary of
State, Hubert Vreeiand. For Treas
urer, Ruby Laffoon. For Clerk
Court of Appeals, Jno. Is. Chenault.
Senator McCreary has gone back
to Louisville and says he is there to
make Investigations. He cites many
instances of incorrect reports of the
vote which does not credit him with
hundreds of votes he received.
Some of his managers say they
have proof of fraud in many coun-
ties, especially in the mountain Sec
ton of the State where Beckham
swept everything by overwhelming
majorities. his majority in many in
stances exceeding the Democratic
vote in the presidential election two
years ago.
While Senator McCreary would
not discuss the probability of a con-
test in case the certificate of nomi-
nation is given to Beckham, one of
the Senator's closest political frien is
said that the fight had only just be-
gun.
Even if Beckham is giving the GER
tifcate of nomination, there are
many. even among Democrats, who
believe that he will never be elected
Senator. The hand of the machine
was too apparent in the campaign,
and there is no disputing the fact
that McCreary was run over in many
counties denominated by henchmen
of the machine.

WASHINGTON BREVITES.
News From The Nations Capital
Told In Crisp Sparkling
Paragraphs.
Especial to The REpnnLrAn.l

Washington, d. c., Nov. There
is a good deal of speculation in
Washington as to Secretary Taft's
real reason for refusing a place on
on the Supreme Bench. He could
hardly be a consistent candidate
for the presidential nomination
against Mr.. Roosevelt, yet that he
has some definite purpose in mind
by the refusal of the place is we'll
known.
Mr.. Roosevelt has made record
for breaking and making presidents
and when he goes out of the Canal
Zone mile and a half to attend the
reception planned for him by Presi-
dent Amador, of Panama. he will be
the first President of the United
States to set feet on foreign soil
during his term of office.
The formation of the peoples
Lobby" recently at Washington by
number of political reforms of the
various parties with the avowed pur-
pose of keeping tab on the stand
taken by congressman on various is
sues, and making public the same,
has caused some particular congress-
men to sit up and take notice.
-
The reports that a German firm
sent pair of storks to President
Roosevelt as token of Its endor e.
ment of his well-known views on the
subject Of race suicide, has been
taken seriously by many, and num-
Der of visitors who called at the
White House to see the birds have
been disappointed.
-
Secretary Metcalf of the Depart
ment of commerce and Labor pre-
diets, that the total immigration to
the United States this year will be
l 400, 900 people, n per cent. of
whom will enter the country by way
of New York.
The administration should be deeply
concerned at the anti-American feel
ing prevalent in Japan at the present
time. If this feeling should grow
to any extent it would work untold
harm to commercial power and pres
tige that the United States has built
up in Japan.

FIVE YEARS IN THE ICE.
Fate Of a Young Norwegian In the
Arctic Glaciers.

Fate of Young Norwegian In the
Arctic Glaciers.
Had Ole Sjostron's tomb of ice on an
ed undisturbed hundred thousand
years, at the end of that ponderous
stretch of time the face and form of
Ole would have looked as natural and
lifelike as at the moment of the fisher
mans death.
Five years ago this young Norwe-
gian, Sjostron, disappeared from Bara-
noff station. Nobody knew what be-
came of him. and finally people ceased
to wonder. A few weeks ago the body
was found completely imbedded in the
ice and so thoroughly preserved that
not even the slightest indication of
change had set in.
The barkentine City of Papette arriv-
ed from Baranoff, and the news of this
remarkable discovery was brought by
her first mate, Knute Peterson.
give years in the ice," said Peter
son, has not made bit of difference
in his appearance. When they found
sure enough he was cold in death
even more SO than the ordinary dead
man. They suppose that he lay down
on the glacier while intoxicated and
fell asleep and that after he had frozen
to death the ice formed over him."
Strange as this story may seem, the
Incident is not strange to those who
know the arctic ice fields. Bodies of
the mammoth, the Elephas primigenus
of an ancient epoch, have been found
similarly imbedded in the ice and so
well refrigerated that after a lapse of
time which is regarded as not less than
10000 years, possibly very modest
estimate, even the flesh Of the animal
was all there.
The sailors information about the
finding of Sjostron's body is meager,
but it is presumable that instead Of
being caught and imprisoned in the
glacial ice the fisherman died on the
soft soil Of the tundra and that his
body became covered up and frozen
with it.
Alexander Torson, formerly third
mate of the City Of Papette, disappear
ed at Baranoff early this year, and his
old associates think that he, like Sjos-
tron, met death on a glacier and that
his body is held unchanged and un-
changing in the ice. probably to aston
ish discoveries in some far later cen
tury.-San Francisco Cor. Chicago

We Wear the Diamonds.

AS We come to mala up the figures
on crop production. ihdustrial output

ments and bank clearngs for the year
We do not need to be told that this is
an era of remarkable prosperity in
| America, but probably no more inter

American people to buy what they
want is to be fourl1 than the gov
eminent reports on t e importations of
diamonds and other precious stones
during the present h1endar year.
The bureau of statistics tells us that
more than s36,O0O,OO worth of dia-
monds and other precious stones
have been imported to this country
since the LIST of January. 1905. This
Is high water mark in this trade. the
largest importation heretofore having
been twenty-eight and a half millions
in 1903 The growth of this trade
has been remarkable Twenty years
ago it amounted to approximately ten
millions of dollars . In the period
from 1888 to 1892, which was one of
great prosperity. the totals reached
about twelve million dollars per an
mum. Then cane the period of de-
mize on their diamonds, the importa-
ton dropping as low as five millions
in 1896. Two years later when times
had considerably improved the total
hac risen to nearly ten millions. In
1899 it was sixteen and half millions
and has been advancing almost with
out backward step until now it is
fully $36.O0O,OOO.
Another interesting feature of the
diamond trade is that the industry of
diamond cutting is showing remark
able growth. Ten years ago this in
dustry could hardly be said to exist.
In 1896 the value of uncut diamonds
imported into the United States was
less than $4,000. Within five years
1t has risen to six and a half mil
lions and during 1905 will exceed ten
millions. whereas in 1905 there were
practically no uncut diamonds i'm
ported. During the past decade the
importation will aggregate 100000 900
and OF cut diamonds about 100000.
900. suggesting that the business of
cutting diamonds for the American
trade is likely to be transferred very
soon from such centers of the industry
as Amsterdam and Paris to the Unit.
ed States.
The United States is the largest dia-
country in the world
when importation for permanent own
ership is considered. A writer in the
Encyclopedia Americana estimates
the value of all diamonds known to
exist in the world today at one bill
lion dollars and concludes that about
five hundred million dollars worth, or
half of the entire valuation, are owned
in the United States. There is GER
tainly something very suggestive in
these facts as to the wealth-producing
power of this country.

THE BOER SCHOOLS,
Lord Seborne's Offer of Chances is
Not Accep ted

Johannesburg. Jan. 1.-THE spec
lal congress at Hot Volll has decided
not to accept Lord Seborne's offer.
I but to continue the opposition schools.
The moderate section pointed out that
the local committees would have some
power over the teachers and could
| control what they taught and. there
fore. counseled acceptance, but the
extremists carried the day.
The attitude of the congress was
not unexpected; but altogether char
aCterlstic of the Beers it is regarded
as being exceedingly i'll advised. Con-
trary to the better Judgment of near
II the whole British population, Lord
Se'bOrne introduced certain changes
IN the educational system with the
sole object of meeting the wishes of
the Boer leaders For three wears
tfese have struggled in vain for such
concessions. and one would think that
the strenuous opposition which the
grant has met with now would have
been a warning to Hot Volk. Instead
or accepting with alacrity and giving
the lie to those who maintain that
the Boer leaders are incapable of hon
est dealing and generous instincts. the
head committee simply flaunts Lord
Selborne's efforts toward Cancellation
and does its best to ALLEVIATE one
who is trying to win it's confidence.
The reason for this action is real.
Nv not very hard to seek. Ever since
1898 the Beers have buoyed them
selves up with the hope that they
would get things their own way as
soon as a radical government came
into power in England In 1899 Cen
eral SHUTS. explaining the stubborn
attitude of President Kruger. said to
a prominent citizen of johannesburg
that the Beers knew that they had on
ly to wait for a radical ministry, and
that they would get all they wanted.
That hope is not yet dead. The same
General SHUTS. now leading spirit
OF Hot Volk. is now on his way to
England for the purpose of explaining
matters to the liberal cabinet and the
pc ople Of Great Britain.
1t is claimed that what is wanted
IS the abolition from the constitution
of the principle of one vote one value.
and Still further concessions on the
language question. It is unlikely,
therefore. that the Beers will accent
Lord Selborne's offer until they see
whethr Gneral SHUTS can obtain bet
Ter terms in England.
The decision arrived at by the con.
gress of Hot Volk really means moth
ing beyond a determination to gain
time. The opposition schools cannot
continue indefinitely. One or two
have already closed down and it is
only matter of time before the re-
mainder follow their example. Mean.
while the schools form a useful asset
in further bargaining.
The future peace and prosperity of
South Africa. it is claimed. depend
largely upon the manner in which the
delicate situation thus created is hand.
led. 1t will be the easiest thing in
the world to foment racial hatred and
unrest and that is likely to be Just
what will occur in the future unless
the greatest circumspection is used.
