THE ELECTION.

The battle, no. there was no bat
tie, we were kept from war"
The contest, the election contest,
IL over. The close result brings to
the thoughts Of many the famous
Tilden- Hayes controversy OF 1876.
In the election Of 1875, Samuel j.
Tilden. Democrat, carried Connecti-
cut, New York, New Jersey, Della
ware, Maryland, Indiana and Mis-
souri, as we'll as 10 southern states,
whose votes were not In dispute; 1S4
electoral votes were obtained for him
and 1S5 constituted a majority. One
additional electoral vote would have
brought him into the presidency, and
it seemed possible that one could be
had from Oregon, where three Re-
publican electors had undoubtedly
been chosen. but one was considered
ineligible under the law and the
Democratic governor had appointed
in his stead the next candidate on the
poll. Democrat, and given him his
certificate.
In the south, 10 electoral votes
were in dispute. In Louisiana, a Re-
publican board had given certificates
to the Republican electors. In Flor
ida, the vote had been close. In
South Carolina federal troops had
guarded the polls. There were dou-
bic returns from Florida. Louisiana
and South Carolina.
One vote out OF the 200 disputed
the one from Oregon-would have
given the presidency to the Demo
Gratis. The control OF the govern
ment depended upon the action OF
congress when it met in joint session
to count the votes. The house was
Democratic, the senate Republican.
Congress listened willingly to pro-
posals OF compromise and it was
agreed that an electoral commission
should be constituted, consisting OF
five members Of the house. three
Democrats and two Republicans; five
members OF the senate, three Republi-
cans and two Democrats, two Demo-
Gratis and two Republicans from the
supreme bench Of the United States
and an additional justice from the
same court. selected by the four JUS
tices named
Rutherford B. Hayes was chosen
and Tilden turned down.
In his history Of this controversy in
his History Of the American Peo-
Pile" Woodrow Wilson said:
Such a commission was undoubt-
edly an extra constitutional body and
its decisions disappointed the country
OF any display of judicial partiality
1t may have hoped OF from it. Mr..

his fellow justices of the commission

A Romance of Mt.

The magazine section of the New York World contains a thrilling story of the Mt. Black burn expedition and it's roman tic termination. We quote from the story in part which the World credits as from Miss Keen'S own story.
 Married in Mccarthy, Alas ka, July $ and will permanently reside there," is really much more romantic than it sounds. The place is in the midst of Al aska's mighty playground of the gods" beneath the towering Mount Blackburn, whither more adventurers have gone than ever have returned. Mccarthy is a mining town, five miles from the terminus of the Copper River Railway at Kennecott the site of the now famous Bonanza copper mine.
 It was a May day, back in 1912. High up on the dizzy slopes of Mount Blackburn, that most in accessible of all Alaskan peaks,

That the hyphen may weld and not separate two nationalities is a possibility which we find little reason for remembering these days. We are scathing in our criticism of the immigrant who fails to become a true American, but we pay but little attention to the means by which his trans formation must be accomplished. We forget that the hypIlenated Americ tn should be simply the American in the making For ztunatelythe immigrants do lot W ti6f for US to Americanize them, but go ahead finding their own opportunities and creating their own agencies for assimilation.

 George ". Handy is the son of a German Army officer and a naturalized citizen of the United States. Trained in a German technical school, seasoned as a soldier in German Southwest Africa, twenty odd years he left his country for good. After that he was in turn cowboy in Texas, miner in South America, trader and traveller in Mexico and California. Finally arriving in Alaska, he settled down there as mining engineer. Such was the man who was, with misgiv- ings as to his fitness, accepted as a member of the Mount Black burn expedition. As it went on he proved his worth. 1t was Handy who encouraged the wind beaten and snow blinded men when they faltered on their up ward road It was Handy who, when they were forced to sleep in snow huts with the thermom- eter at sixteen below zero was always cheerful and seemingly untired. It was Handy who, as food grew scarcer and storms fiercer, was merely inspired to greater daring and determinat- ion.

CANNOT AGREE ON REPORT AS
 TO BRANDE|S
Practically Certain the Is- sue Will Be Fought Out
 in the Senate.

Washington, May 15.-It now ap- pears practically certain that the issue over the nomination of Louis D. Brandeis to the supreme court of the United States is to be fought out in the senate without recommendation from the judiciary committee, which has considered and investigated .ke case for more than three months.
 Although no authoritative an nouncement has been made regarding the attitude of the judiciary commit tee, it was reported, after a pro- tracled secret session of the commit tee today that favorable report on the nomination could not be agreed upon.
 There are IS members of the com mittee, 10 Democrats and 8 Repub- licans. All of the Republicans are opposed to confirmation. Two Dem- ocrats are said to be strongly against it, and two favor a report without recommendation. These two are urg- ing the compromise for which the other Democrats may have to vote to prevent adverse action. Such course would mean a long fight in the senate
 Administration leaders predicted that the struggle would end in the confirmation of MT. Brandeis.

ROOM FOR SENATOR OWEN.
OklahOman Urged as Running Mate
 for Wilson.

Washington, May 15.-Friends of Senator Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma have started little boom for him for the nomination of vice president on the ticket with President Wilson. Thus far Senator Owen has not given his assent to the movement.
 The reason advanced for suggest ing the Oklahoma senator is that he is known for his strong progressive tendencies and that the Democrats will make a bid for progressive sup port in the approaching campaign.
 Democratic leaders generally, how ever, believe that it would be polit- ical mistake not to renominate Vice President Marshall. They insist that with two senatorial seats at stake in Indiana, the name of MT. Marshall on the Democratic ticket is essential to success in that state.

AUSTRIAN WAR
 PRISONERS RIOT

ULSTER OPPOSED
 TO DISARMAMENT
Asuuith'S Conference at Belfast with Leaders of Ulster Party Far from Satisfactory -COmrtsmartial of
 RpyOlutiOniStS Continue.

London, May 15.-The writing of new chapter of the history of the Sim Fein rebellion was begun today when Sir Roger Easement, knighted in 1911 for services to the British government, and Daniel Julian Bailey, an Irish private soldier, one of his companions on the ill-fated submarine trip from Germany to Ireland, were placed in the docks of the Bow street police court for preliminary examination on the charge of high treason.
 While considerable testimony was introduced that tended to incriminate Bailey, the main attack of the prose- cution was directed against Easement, in an endeavor to enmesh him in net of evidence which would establish the leading mart it is claimed he played in the conspiracy, with ramifications which extended even to America. Easement busted himself in takin~ notes, indicating that he intended to have a hand in the presentation of his defense, and was always self possessed
 The testimony developed few thrills, the prosecution devoting its attention to showing how Easement carried on the alleged recruiting for his Irish brigade in German prison camps. The most dramatic part of the whole pro- ceedings was the address of the attor- ney general, Sir Fred E. Smith, who outlined Sir Rogers former services to his country, told of the honor be- slowed upon him by his king, and then shifted abruptly to the details of the |conspiracy matched in Germany.
 Easements attorney made little at- tempt at cross-examination, but sev- eral times questioned the witnesses as to why Easement wished them to join the Irish brigade The point of these questions seemed to be that the freedom of Ireland was the only thing involved, and that the brigade was not to attempt to assist Germany.
 Ulstermen Hold AlOOf.
 Belfast, May 15.-Stubborn disincli- nation to accept anything in the way of a government which might imply future subjection of Ulster to home rule, was evidenced today on the oc casion of Premier Asquith's visit to Belfast, which lasted only few hours. Y
 So far as can be learned. the pre- mier's conference with large body of representative Ulstermen was dis appointing. It is understood that the question of the general disarmament of forces in Ireland, not authorized by the government, was discussed, and although those present were pledged to secrecy, it is rumored that cold water was thrown on the pro- posal
 The discussion was very full and frank, but it is asserted that the re- suit was unsatisfactory. Everything is outwardly calm. but the kecnest interest underlies the surface appear ance and many Ulsterites declare their determination to have on deal- ings with the nationalists.
 All the newspapers in Belfast ad- vised caution in regard to any prom ise that the premier may have made, but which are not vet public proper ty. MT. Asquith returned to Dublin tonight, where 1t is reported further court martials will be conducted op- enly.

 Someone not far from the negro started the cry of Get the negro" It was taken up by all of those from that part of the county where Mrs. Fryar was killed, and Washington was then seized and removed from the courtroom. The crowd at first seemed willing to hang the negro from the suspension bridge, but a suggestion tha. he be burned on the plaza met with instant response, and he was dragged to the city hall yard, where the chain already around his neck was thrown over the limb of a tree, wood hastily secured and the fire started.
 When the flames had subsided somewhat quite number in the crowd cut off the negro's fire-blister- ed fingers and other parts of the ne- gro's body.
