the apple crop will amount TO prob

the frost.
The strawberry crop has been

The Next House Of Representatives.
According to the last election returns,
the next House will consis: OF 2i9 repup-
licans and 172 democrats, total OF 33l, ga
against total OF 3S9 in the House during
the last session, of whom % were repu bii-
cans and 1856 democrats. The result is
net LOSS of four from the republican side,
and net gain Of six on the democratic
side, the discrepancy being due to present
vacancies. All told, the democrats gained
seventeen districts, and the republicans
twelve.
The most marked advance made by the
democrats was in Indiana, where of the
eleven members only two will be repub,i-
can in the next Congress, whereas in the
present Congress there are eight republic
cans from that state. Colorado will show
even a greater revolution, in that, whereas
all three members Of the present deiega-
tion are now republicans, in the next
House all will be democratic.
Nebraska has added two to the demo-
cratic column IN the House, making an
equal division of the two parties OF the
| six members from that state.
OF the other democratic gains, Ohio re-
corded three, Illinois one and Kentucky
one. The most striking accessions OF the
republicans were made in North Carolina,
where three members were taken from
the democratic column, and Oklahoma,
where there was gain OF two.
Missouri and Pennsylvania also
switched two members each from the
democratic to the republican side, and
New Jersey, Rhode Island and Wisconsin
each supplied one to the republican adAi-
tons. Otherwise than as here noted, the
various state delegations will remain as at
present.
The republican majority on full roll
call will be forty-seven as. against fifty
seven at present.

CHINESE RULERS DEAD.

Emperor and Dowager Empress Die
New Emperor Named.
TIE Hsi An, dowager empress of China,
the autocratic head OF the government.
which she directed without successful in
reference since 1861, and without protest
since 1881, died Sunday. The announce
ment of the dowager empress death fol-
lowed closely upon the announcement
that Kuaag- Hsu, the emperor, had died
Saturday, but it is believed that the death
OF the emperor and dowsger occurred a
considerable time before that set down in
the official statement.
An edict issued Sunday places upon the
throne Prince Pu-Yi, the three year old
son of Prince Chun, the regent OF the en-
pire.
Death-bed observance OF three thousand
years ago marked the passing of the en-
peror and dowager. They died alone and
unattended, although surrounded by cir
Giles Of abject spectators, who remained q
rod distant as, on account OF the sacred
persons Of their majesties, they could not
be approached. The emperor died a. he
had lived. For months he had refused to
permit the services Of foreign physicians,
and he died without having received medi-
cal care.
Tszi- Hsi An was born Nov. n, 1884. She
was the child Of poor people, who lived in
Peking. At an early age, following COM
mon practice in China, she was sold q q
slave BY her parents ON account Of thsir
poverty. She became the property Of .
famous general who, enchanted with her
great beauty, adoptsd and odsrsd her = :

her looks and intslligsncs that be nsads
