Rochester, N. Y. April 26.-Monroe
County, which constitutes the 32d Con-
gress District, placed it's disapproval
on the candidacy of George w. Aid
ridge for more than twenty years the
head of the Republican organization,
and with admittedly the finest politi-
cal machine in the state, by giving
James s.. Havens, the Democratic
nominee, a majority of 5,S31 in the
special election held to fill the vacan-
cy caused by the death of James
Breck Perkins, Republican.
The Democrats acknowledge that
one of the main factors in to-day's
reversal of political sentiment was
personal issue raised by Mr.. Aldridge's
record as party boss and evidence pre-
sented at the recent insurance investi-
cation conducted by State Supern.
tendent of Insurance Hotchkiss. Mr..
Aldridge acknowledged that he re.
ceived a 81 900 check from Elijah r.
Kennedy, an agent of the fire insur-
ance companies, but denied that he
benefited personally by the transfer.
He declared that he turned the money
into the trasury of the Republican or
ganization.
This moral issue was taken up by
the churches, and no less than twenty
clergymen announced themselves in
Mr.. Havens's favor.
James S. Havens, the Democratic
candidate, with only the shadow of an
organization and limited resources,
carried seventeen out of the twenty
two wards in the city of Rochester,
and all but one of the nineteen towns
in the county of Monroe. By vote
approximating $1,000, Mr. Havens won
by 5,S31 plurality. Two years ago
Perkins, Republican, carried the dis
trict by 10,107, the result to-day show
ing change of more than $4,000
votes. Also Havens is the first Demo
cratic Congressman to represent this
district in twenty years.
The full vote for both candidates
was as fololws: Havens vote in city,
1889; Aldridge vote in city, 14,643;
Havens plurality in city, 3,746.
Havens vote in towns, 6,419; Aid
ridge vote in towns, 4,334; Havens
plurality 2,0S5.
Entire vote cast: For Havens, "a
sos; for Aldridge, 1897; total, 1875.
Even the Democrats parading the
rain-soaked streets behind a brass
band were surprised at the magnitude
of their victory. The Republicans,
chagrined at the complete wreck Of
what two weeks ago was regarded as
the most perfectly balanced political
machine in the State, are simply
stunned.

The Strange New Creed,

Professor Percival Lowell, the ia.
nous astronomer and author, said the
other day of the public ignorance
where astronomical matters are con-
cerned:
81 can't discuss my Martian theories
with the average man. He is as igno-
rant of astronomical terms as one Of
our Flagstaff policemen Is of all long
Latin words.
"This policeman arrested, the other
night, an elderly gentleman who was
parading the street in a white night
gown.
"'Good gracious, officer! said the
old gentleman, giving me a great
start, it's all right; let me go. I'm
somnambulist'
"But the policeman frightened his
grip on the old fellows arm.

Proof Positive,

A Western newspaper man visited
Washington recently and told the fol-
lowing story on former Representative
Amos ]. Cummings, of New York,
who was once city editor of the Sun.
One Saturday night it was announced
that all the saloons were to be closed
next day
Cummings called his star reporter,
Murray.
"Tom," he said, "go out tomorrow
and find out if the saloons are selling
liquor"
1t was Thursday when Tom again
appeared at the city desk.
"They were" he reported.

/ far as railway enterprise is concerned

far as railway enterprise is concerned
for a long time to come.
But in taking these large views,
says Moody's Magazine, we have for
gotten that Russia is two and half
times as large as all the United States
put together with a population more
than half as large again as our own;
that in territorial extent it is more
than twice as large as all Europe;
that 1t stretches across the world for
ITO degrees of longitude-nearly half
way around the globe-and that it in.
cludes one-sixth of the land surface
of the planet.
1t is not surprising that in such
country railways should have had a
large development, that already there
is considerable mileage and that the
prospects in this direction seem to
have no limit. In the future Russia
and the United States are likely to di-
vide the railway empire of the world
between them.

OUR FUTURE RAILWAY RIVAL.
II VIII Be Russia, Which Now is Sec.
ond to Us In Mileage.

II it is question merely Of bigness
the Russian railway system is far and
away the first in Europe. There are
already many more miles of railway
in this vast empire than in any other
country in the world excepting the
United States, and Russian railways
are still only in their infancy.
1t is of course quite true that there
are now in the United States more
miles of railway than in all Europe
and almost as many as in all the rest
