DIVORCE LAW IN DOUBT
Opponents of Dakota Reform Meas.
 ure Say 1t Has Been Beaten.

Sioux Falls, s. D., Nov 6.-Oppon- ents of the proposed new divorce law raising the period of residence in South Dakota from six months to one years tonight are confidently claiming that the measure was de- feated on Tuesday by the voters of the state.
 Those favoring the law by no means concede that it has been de- feated.
 If the measure has been defeated 1t was due to several causes, chief of which is the fact that the pro posed divorce law was greatly han dicapped by being placed upon sep arate ballot containing three other proposed laws, two of them being county option and a law designed to prohibit Sunday amusements.
 The county option law appeared first on the separate ballot, being fol- lowed by the divorce act. There is no doubt that thousands of voters after glancing part way down the county option measure by mistake turned their attention to the bottom of the divorce law and placed an X before the word "No" under the di- vorce law, thinking they were voting No" on county option.
 There is no doubt that other thousands of voters having decided to vote No" on the Sunday amuse- ment law and county option decided to vote No" in general on proposed laws and thus voted against the di- vorce act.

REMARKABLE STORM AT SEA.
Nightlike Clouds, Binding Lightning
 Rain and Hail in Succession.

Boston, Nov 6.-An awe inspiring electrical storm was witnessed by the officers and men of the steamer Ka binga, Calcutta to Boston, on Thurs day last. Huge black clouds sudden ly appeared and shrill whistling could be heard, which told of an ap- preaching wind. The heat became oppressive. The entire roof of the sky seemed to split open and blind- ing flare of light came forth. Then like the crash of hundred siege guns came the clap of thunder.
 The waves became like cliffs and the ship was tossed from one to an- other The rain fell in big drops that were so hot as to almost scald those whom they struck.
 The roa. of thunder and the flash of the lightning was almost continu- ous. Suddenly and without warning the hot lain changed to hail that sounded like the breaking of plate glass as it fell.
 For some time the officers feared that the vessel might be overwhelm- cd, but after a few hours the sun shone again. Then 1t was found that the steamer was encrusted with 8 crystal coating of salt Large quan- titles of it were upon her hull when she came into port.

Bhffalo, N. Y., Nov 6.-Srores of letters that passed between Willard Fillmore when he was president and sudh men as Daniel Webster, Edward Everett and Henry Clay are said to have been discovered at the Main street residence of the late Charles D. Marshall. According to Franklin D. Locke, the letters were left in Mir Marshall's care to be destroyed. Mill lard Powers Fillmore, the ex-presi dents son, had directed in his will that all his fathers papers be destroyed. Mir Marshall's sudden death may account for then fact that the papers are still in existence.

Two Suits of Armor.

Worcester, Mass, Nov 6.-This city, most of the first settlers of which came from Worcester, Eng land, was to-day presented with two suits of armor by Colonel Albert Webb of the English city, in behalf of. Mayor J. Staylard and the corpor- aaon of that place. The two suits of armor formed part of a collection of nine which had been preserved for many years in the city hall of. Wor- cester, England. During the battle of Worcester, September 3, 1851, the suits were worn by pikemen engaged in the battle. Mayor James Logan of this city in accepting the armorial relics from Colonel Webb to-day as- sured him of the friendly feeling of the inhabitants of the daughter city towards its mother municipality.

WHY ELIOT RESIGNED.
So He Might Not Hear It Said His
 Powers Are Failing

Cambridge, Mass, Nov 6.-The sight of Harvard football mass meeting cheering itself hoarse for President Eliot and surrounding his house until he appeared on his porch is an unprecedented sight at Har- yard. But it was still more unusual to see President Eliot address the immense gathering of students from the steps of his house and talk to them for over five minutes.
 The demonstration started at the big football mass meeting which was held last night in the Harvard Union, At the. close of the meeting somebody suggested President Eliot" and the 600 men present instantly acted on the suggestion. Led by President Ca- ble of the senior class, they marched in a body to his house and surround ed the porch, cheering repeatedly. When President Eliot appeared the cheering was deafening. After a few moments he got a chance to speak He said in part:
 Wednesday when asked to speak on the reasons for my resignation I refused to do so. think I should like to say few words to you on the subject. In the first place don't want to have my coming retirement referred to with regret. think we should all look forward to 1t with hope. We must all set to work to find some able efficient young man for the, place. When he is found he will carry on the work as, 1t has been carried out in the past and place Harvard in still higher position than she now, occupies.
 Now I want it understood that ] am not sick, am not tired and am in good health so far as know. But when life has reached the age of 75 years 1t looks for rest and retirement. resigned so that I might not hear 1t said His powers are failing. Dr Ar mold of Rugby used to say that man was not fitted to be the head master of public school when he could no no longer go upstairs two steps at a time. l can do that yet, The occu- patton which has been mine for lifetime has been a most pleasant one and I regret to terminate 1t. But it calls for unseen and unexpected tasks that only the vigor of a young man can cope win. Good night
