Fifteen Chinese
Provinces Vote for
MOnarch's Return

PEKING, Nov. 6.-Fifteen of the eight
cen provinces of China are said by the
government to have voted In favor of a
monarchy.
The minister OF foreign affairs, Lu
Cheng Hsiang, made this statement to
NJ. Obata. secretary of the japanese lega-
ton, in explaining why in it's opinion the
government could not legally defer the
decision of the people concerning the
proposal to re-establish a monarchy.
The foreign minister contended China
was misrepresented by reports that hasty
action was contemplated and pointed to
the advanced stage which the elections
already chad reached. He assured NJ.
Obata, the Chinese government was con-
sidering the friendly advice of the powers
in the same spirit in which 1t was offered.
1t is reported from a reliable source that
the government may request the council
of state. acting as parliament, to legal
ize a postponement of the monarchical
restoration should 1t finally be decided
upon.
The French. British and Russian min
listers have not asked China to-. explain
it's reply. as 1t was considered by them
to be satisfactory.

Five members of the executive COM

of several removing from the state dur
ing the last year it was necessary to
elect five this year.
These are elected by congressional dis
tricts. The second district, which is the
district in which Omaha is located. is
the only district that has a committee
man holding over. Consequently none is
to be elected from the second district
this year.
There are necessarily twenty-five candi-
dates for these five places as by the con-
stitutional provision there must be five
nominated for each of the five places.
Within the next ten days the official
ballots are to go out to the teachers all
over the state, members of the associa-
ton. This will mean the mailing of 4, 1873
ballots. Besides containing the names of
all these candidates for the offices the

Earl Kitchener, secretary for war; has
been entrusted with an important mission
to the near east and already has de-

"It is generally believed" says the
Post, that Earl Kitchener's business will
necessitate a stay so prolonged that It

his resignation is only delayed.
