F%aulkton, Oct. 3t.-Frank M Byrne,

day going through some of the great
amount of correspondence accumulated
during his weeks absence. He re.

ususl health and has been able to lay
aside bis crutcbes, which he has used
for the past six weeks, though he il

physical condition and on the advice
of physicians. he has Iefrained from

THE ELECTION
Pierre Correspondent Sizes Up
the Situation as Viewed at
the State Capital

Pierre, Oct. 31.-Just about a week
more until the ballots are cast, then
the wait for the unofficial returns to
show whose the close contests have
gone in this state. And In this about
ten percent of the auditors are mighty
slow in their making up of lists. To
the credit Of most of the auditors of
the state, it can be said they are
prompt, some of them getting in
their unofficial returns within a very
few days after the votes are cast, but
the few who are slow are certainly a
cause of profanity, especially when
the votes on some of the places are

would swing the result either way.

Washington, Oct. 3f.--News OF Vice
President Sherman's death, though it
had been expected hourly, was received
with profound sorrow in official Wash
ington. At the capitol where every
attache considered him a friend, in the
government departments where he was
a frequent visitor, among the cabinet
officers and in the diplomatic corp
where he had many close friends. the
announcement will cause genuine re-
greet.
Immediately on the receipt of the
news, Col. Daniel N. Ransilell, ser
geant at arms of the Senate, dispatched
formal notification to Senator Bacon,
temporary presiding officer of the Sen
ate now in New York on his way back
to Georgia on a campaign tour and
asked for instructions. Mr.. Bacon will
appoint a committee of the Senate to
attend the funeral.
There is a strong probability that
the entire Senate will attend Presi-
dent Taft and the cabinet are expected
to attend though plans have not been
completed. Chief Justice White of
the supreme court is expected to assign
two associate justices to represent the
court at the funeral.
President Taft will issue a procla-
nation directing that for 30 days all
United States embassies and legations
abroad shall observe mourning. The
flags over the White House, the dome
of the capitol and the public build
ings in Washington will be half mast.
cd tomorrow and untii the day of the
funeral.
From the navy department and tie
war department orders were flashed

funeral. The draping of public build
ings with mourning is prohibited by
law.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-Correc-
ton of misstatements in the agricul.
tural publications of the census bal-
reau relative to the characteristics Of
the soil of the north central and north
eastern portions Of Minneota will be
made in the permanent bulletins Of
that bureau.
Representative Miller today had a
long conference with E. Dana Durand,
director Of the census, at which he
pointed out the errors in the official
publications, and that 'oficial agreed
to make the necessary corrections.
The director did not go into details
as to how the changes would be ef-
fected, but he told Mr.. Miller that the
statements about which complaints
were made by the Duluth Commercial
club. backed by Mr.. Miller, obtained
only limited circulation.
The director said that the bulletin
was merely ! preliminary pubfca-
ton, and only a small number of
copies wer printed, mostly for newspa1.
per circulation. The permanent bul.
1ein on Minnesota agriculture will do
justice to the north central and north
