LORD BISHOP LIKES US.
London Preiate Is Particularly
Fond Of Virgiaians.

London. Nov 2-The Bishop of London
has published some "reminiscences Of his
American tour. He says there was an
enormous crowd at Trinity Church during
his first sermon, all Of whom desired 70
shake hands with him. This prepared
him for future events. and he was not
surprised when he afterward met an
American bishop with his hand limp and
useless. who told him that It was not
caused by any operation, but only by
constant handshaking. The bishop says
he cannot understand how his friendly
tennis match with the President became
famous. He continues:
Virginia is the place where an Eng
lishman feels most at home in America
He is spoiled By the kindness and at
tention of the Virginians. who love Eng
land and are proud OF their English an
cestry"
The bishop was much impressed by
Yale College. and by the fact that there
the leading Christians were also the lead
ing athletes. He concludes by declaring
that he left the United States with en-
HANGED affection and admiration for the
great people. He believes the supposed
nl-feeling toward England has beer
greatly exaggerated, and that what once
may have existed. is rapidly passing
away with the klndling Of many friend
ships

Wilmington. Del. Nov. 2.-The greatest
campaign in the history Of Delaware is
virtually at an end. On Tuesday a vote
will be taken throughout the state on
the question OF adopting or rejecting
local option. The result Will be deter
mined by districts, as provided by the
constitution, they being four in number
as follows: The city of Wilmington, rural
New Castle County, Kent County, and
Sussex County. The closing of the cam

be cast for local option.
It is expected that the total vote will
be the largest ever polled in Delaware.
The members of the Ant-License Com

in substantiatiOn of their claims. than
are the leaders of the Business Mems
Protective Association, as the liquor

CONTEST IN new JERSEY TAME
Both Sides Are Claiming the State

Republicans Give II ,45O ns Their
Figures, while Democrats Are
Satisfied with 1890.

New York, Nov. 2.-The contest for gov
ernor in New Jersey is a close one. Both
sides are claiming a victory. and bot'i
really seem to believe the claims they
make.
Revised figures by former Senator Rob
ert s. Hudspeth. chairman Of the Demo-
cratic State committee carefully collected
in lhe twenty-one counties, give Katzen-
bach, candidate Of the Democracy for
State executive. a plurality of 800. In
these figures no estimate is made for
Mercer and Passaic counties. which Mr..
Hudspeth classes as doubtful Mr.. Kat
zenbach comes from Mercer and has serv-
ed as mayor OF Trenton. its capital The
city ordinarily gives a fair Republican
majority 1t cannot reasonably be eT-
pected that Mercer viii largely swell the
/ Democratic plurality.
Passaic probably viii be close, but It
cannot be relied on TO give so large a
! Democratic vote as to add appreciably
TO Mr. HudSpeths list OF KatZenbach
counties.
The revised figures Of the Republican
State committee give former Justice Fort
plurality OF z, ,450. In their estimate
/ figures are given for every county To
the impartial observer It would seem
! that the estimate Of the Democratic vote
| is too small. Il is likely the forecast of
Mr.. Hudspeth for Democratic counties
viii prove to be much nearer the mark
than that Of former Gov. Murphy's COM
mittee.
The Republicans are modest in their
estimate for Essex. but there is good
reason to believe that the State leaders
Of the g. o. p. are all at sea about that
county There are indications that the
Republican vote in South Jersey win be
fully up to, If 1t does not surpass, the
| record.
The campaign that closes tomorrow
night has been a comparatively tame one.

 TEDDY FINDS IT TOO WET TO HUNT
Has to Return to Camp Because of Water ill Cane Brake-Belieyed
 Dogs "Scared Up" a Bear.

Stamboul, La, Oct. 9.-Secretary Latta returned yesterday from his visit to the president in the latter's camp on the Tensas river, bringing with him a batch of newly dictated letters and recollections of very wet night spent in camp. He says that yesterdays rain was even more than was bargained for, and that while the first effect was to put the woods in good condition, they be- came so wet by o'clock that the par ty was compelled to return to camp. The rain, which had begun early in the day. continued throughout the night, and it was decided not to ven- ture out at all yesterday, owing to the water in the cane brake in which they are hunting. No one has yet sighted a bear, but the dogs found a trail Yesterday, and the professional hunters expressed the opinion that from the sound of the baying meant they had located real bear. It was dark, however, and it became neces- sary to call off the hunt. The presi- dent puts in much of his time when not engaged in the hunt in reading and in conversation with his associ- ates and the guides and hunters who accompany them. Another deer was shot yesterday.
