COUNTRY
Missouri, at First Conceded to Democrats, VIII I'm
doubtedIy Go For Taft-MaryIand May
Split Its Electoral Vote-Congress
Remains Republican.

New York, N. Y.-The member
ship Of the electoral college which
will choose the next president OF the
United States remained in dispute
when the official counters in Mary
land abandoned their task for the
night. According to the best informa-
ton obtainable, the proportionate
numbers OF Republicans and Dem
ocratic electors will be determined by
a division Of Marylands eight votes.
Half Of the city OF Baltimore and two
OF the 20 counties outside Of that city
are still TO be counted, but there is
q strong Indication that the states
vote will be split In any event, the
margin Of victory will be so small
that the state was claimed Thursday
by the leaders of both parties.
Though the splitting Of a states
electoral vote Is unusual, II will be
recalled that In 1904 Maryland chose
one Republican and seven Democratic
electors.
Missouri appears to be safely for
Taft, to whom the latest returns give
Q plurality Of 1000.
Conceding Missouri to Taft and
leaving Maryland to be split between
him and Bryan, the figures show $40
Republican electors assured and 156
Democratic.
Latest congressional returns indi.
cate that the next congress will be
composed of ZIG Republicans and It's
Democrats, a majority for the Re-
publicans of IL.
The returns for the socialist and
Prohibition parties are still far from
compile but indicate that the hopes
Of the Socialists have not been real.
ICED and that the Prohibitionists in
certain section, we're gains have been
expected. have been disappointed. The
figures for the Independence party
are also insufficient to give an &c
curate idea of what that party &C
compllshed.
Outside Of the Journey, political In
terest was engaged Thursday in the
exchange Of messages Of congratula'
ton and thanks between Mr.. Bryan
and Mr.. Taft; a statement by Mr.
Bryan, in which he sets forth his de
termination to continue his work for
the good OF all, in the capacity OF a
private citizen; and the announce
ment by Mr.. Sherman that Il cost him
Just $4,000 to be elected vice presi
| dent.

The darkness which shuts out all

way of any work which called for
action. He would have to be content
to think, and give orders, and trust
to the orders being carried out. A
man of great intellect might have con
soled himself with the knowledge
that he still had the use of his brain,
and that, after all, the brain is the
essential part Of a human being. But
Shil was not man of great intellect,
and the only work that he had ever
done had been work which required
personal supervision. He could do
this work no longer. He could not
ride round his estate and superintend
the rebuilding of insanitary cottages,
the refencing of plantations, the
draining of fields, and the thousand

eye OF an expert. He could only issue
his orders, and trust to others to

Yet he knew that there was a WON

his heart revolted from her; the inter-
view that lay before him had only
been arranged with one object. He
must know the truth. He must find
out what part Leonore had played in
the tragedy of Laura's marriage. He
must hear the truth from Leonores
own lips. Perhaps she would lie to
him. But, though he could not see
her face, he would judge her from
her voice, from the words which she
used to conceal her thoughts. He
would find out, and if she were I'M

would rather live out his life Of dark
