The Situation In Kentucky. LOUISVILLE, Nov. 7.—-The silver men are still claiming the state, basing their contention on mistakes in the returns published from the First, Third, Seventh, Tenth and Eleventh districts. They state that, exclusive of the Eleventh district, mistakes in several counties change the result several hundred in favor of Bryan. From Clay county a letter from their county chairman today stated that the vote was 1,699 for McKinley and 685 for Bryan, a McKinley plurality of 984, instead of the published plurality of 1,100. From Knox county the silver chairman reports the McKinley plurality 1,135, a difference in Bryan’s favor of 10 votes. The secretary of the Democratic committee concedes that if the McKinley plurality in the Eleventh district exceeds 14,000 Bryan loses the state. The Republicans contend that this pin- rality in the Eleventh district will exceed 14,000,.basing their claim on the fact that they have Leslie county to hear from, and also three precincts—two in Clay and one in Letcher. They concede the silver claim to the other missing county—Knott—ln this estimate. that the official count must decide, and then the state canvassing board may have to canvass the official returns. In many counties the total vote is held back, only plurality figures being sent in, and charges of ballot box tampering fly thick and fast. The most interesting development. in the Kentucky situation is the probabili‘ ty that the entire vote of Owen county will be thrown out by the state canvass- ing board as a result of a violation of the election law in that county Tuesday. A Democratic primary was held with“ the gen- eral election, the Democratic election oili- cers, it is alleged, serving also as the pri- mary officers. The Bryan plurality in this county is 2,239, and if it is thrown out it means the election of Colonel W. C. P. Breckinridge in the Seventh district by a majority of 700 or over. Breckinridge will contest the seat of his opponent, Settle, Democrat, basing his contest on the Owen county situation, where he alleges gross frauds were com- mitted. His representatives are already at. work collecting evidence. The Situation In California. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 7,—All but 125 precincts in California have been heard from, and McKinley’s plurality in the statenp to date is 6,196. The missing precincts are in remote sections and may not. be heard from for several days. They cannot materially change the result, as their total vote in 1892 was only 4,246. In that year these precincts gave Cleveland 2,098, Harrison 1,792 and Weaver 356, a plurality for Cleveland over Harrison of 306. There may be a slight gain for the Democrats this year, but it is safe to say from the returns furnished by the Western Union Telegraph company that McKinley carries the state by at least 6,000 votes. The congressional situation is much in doubt. So far it is known that the Re- publicans have elected three congressmen and the Democrats two. Barham in the First, Hilborn in the Third and Loud in the Fifth are safe for the Republicans, while in the Second and Fourth districts the Democrats have elected De Vries and Maguire. In the Sixth and Seventh dis- tricts the vote is very close, and the official count' may have to decide the victors. With only two precincts to hear from in the Sixth district, McKachlan, Republic- an, leads Barlow, fusionist, by 32 votes. One of the missing precincts in in San Benito county and the other in Santa Bar- bara. In the Seventh district all, but; 26 precincts have been heard from. and Gas- tle, fusionist, leads Bowers, Republican, by 227 votes. 0f missing precincts, 4 are in Fresno county, 3 in Kern, lbin Ma- . dcra, 1 in Mercer and 3 in Riverside.- It is claimed that the majority of these pro cincts are Democratic, and. if that is so, Castle's election seems assured. The legislature will probably be Repub- lican in both houses. North Carolina’s Congressmen.

Russell, Re« publican, is elected governor by 7,000. Bryan, it is believed, carries the state by l7,000. In the legislature, the Republic- Ins will have 55, Populists 48, Democrats t5, doubtful 18. In this, thetFourth Con- grassional district, Bryan carries» Wake ~ :ounty by 641, Chatham by 1,402, Frank- lin by 1,433, Johnston by 1,622, Nash by 1,288. McKinley carries Vance by ‘714 Ind Randolph by 448. .. Pennsylvania, 300,000. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. '7. — McKinley’s glurality in this state for president will probably be more than '300, 000. The ofli- zial returns from all the counties except 11 give him 287,569 plurality over Bryan. Unofficial returns from the 11 counties in- crease this 16,518 votes, making the total 804,087. Illinois’ Plurality, 144,131. CHICAGO, Nov. 7.——Unofiicial returns from all of the 102 counties in Illinois, in- cluding Cook, give McKinley a plurality Of 144,131 and Tanner a plurality of 115,504. Complete official returns may change these figures a trifle, but this is . practically the result in the state. McKinley’s Plurallty In Oregon. PORTLAND, Or., Nov. 7.-Complete re- turns from all but three counties in Ore- gon give McKinley 45,241; Bryan, 42,812; McKinley’s plurality, 2,429. In the state election last June the three missing coun« ties cast a total of 2,436 votes and gave a Republican plurality of 218. McKinley Answers Bryan’s Telegram. CANTON, 0., Nov. 7.——Major McKinley received Mr. Bryan’s telegram of con- gratulation on his election to the presi- dency today after a late breakfast. He took the first opportunity to go to his li- brary and write the following acknowledg- mentz. Hon. W. J. Bryan, Lincoln. Nah: I acknowledge the receipt of your courteous message of congratulation with thanks and beg you will receive my best wishes for your health and happiness. WILLIAM MCKINLEY. The president elect has not attempted to lnswer any of the great mass of telegrams and letters which have been deluged upon him, except in the special instances of Chairman Hanna, Mr. Bryanand one or two others. The telegrams have come at. the rate of 3,000 a day, and the letters ex- ceed 1,000 daily. Possibly later, when normal conditions are restored, a uniform code of acknowledgment and response will be prepared, somewhat similar to the plan adopted by Mr. Cleveland. As far as possible, Mr. McKinley will give the communications his personal attention. Some unique messages reached Mr. Mc- Kinley today. One telegram was in poetry. Another, from Wyoming, stated that a woman presidentialelcctor would vote for McKinley for the first time in history. Mr. McKinley saw a number of friends during the day and then went for a drive. Lawlor For the Pension Bureau. ROCKFORD, Ills., Nov. 7.—Frlends of Thomas G. Lawlor, ex-commander in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, will urge his name to President Elect McKin- ley for the appointment. of commissioner . ‘of pensions when the proper time arrives. He is one of the most popular men in the Grand Army organization, and, while at. its head, visited every state in the Union. Ivory Again Remanded. LONDON, Nov. 7.—The case of Edward J. Ivory, alias Edward J. Bell, the Irish- American dynamiter, was resumed today at Bow Street police court. and, after the usual tedious proceedings, he was remand- ed once more fora. week. A representa- tive of the United States embassy was present at Ivory’s examination today. Prominent Catholic Priest Dead. TROY, N. Y.. Nov. 7.—Very Rev.

It is a. fact that brighter and fun- nier things are said by actors off the , fit t stage than when they utter the lines written by some one else. Take Mau- rice Barrymore, for instance. He Was talking to two friends about the ben- efit to. be given at the Academy of Music. One said: “Say, Barry, what is the Actors’ Order of Friendship?" “Two beers,” replied Barry. At the Lambs’ Club the other night Dixey told a new story about Stetson. He had engaged a. song and dance man who was fearfully bad. “The artist” was just making his exit, sing- ing the last bars of “\Vhere Are the Friends of My Youth?” when Stetson. who was standing in the wings, said: “Take the rest of the week and find them.” George Fuller Golden, at Keith’s, tells of the man who was sent in haste ‘ for the doctor to attend his mother—in- law. “She’s at death’s door, doctor,” said he, “and I’m afraid you can’t pull her through.” John Kcrnell says he called on a friend, andwas treated to the most delicious sausage he ever ate. “I asked bimwhere he got them, and he gave me a pointer." : . - - 1 There are many new jokes in the re- vised “Evangeline”, at the Garden Theatre. Fred Solomon at one stage of the play announces that he will re. cite a poem composed by himself. Striking an heroic attitude, be de- clares: : 2 . . .~. “Mary had a little calf, So she couldn’t put on bloomers.” Another- version of the prevalent po- litical joke is heard in the same bur— lesque. Bigclow, made up as David B. Hill, announces that he must take the 12:44 train to Albany. Solomon~Why, I thought you were a gold man. Bigelow—So I am. Solomon—Inch why do you take the 16 to 1 train? Frederic Bond, in “My Friend from India,” gives Perkins a pair of trou- sers, remarking that they are a good “Good fit for a man of my years,” replies Perkins, “but for any other “man they would be a. convulsion.” Most of Francis Wilson’s jokes in “Half a. King” pertain to the play. A few of his witty epigrams, however, deserve to be quoted: “A man can say things in four min- utes that he would spend forty years in regretting.” “If people would stop to think be- fore they get married, children would become omsolete.” Sam Reed, Who plays Judge Lynch in “Sue,” was asked by a new ac- quaintance if his name really were Reed. “Certainly; why do you ask?" “Well, there are so many actor folks who take facetious names that I thought 'mebbe you did, too.” .— Dick Golden, at Keith’s says an Irishman bet ten cents he could eat more oysters than the dealer could open. After swallowing ninety of the bivalves, Pat laid a dime on the coun- ter and said: “Bedad, you’ve won. 1 can’t eat any more. Speaking of oysters reminds me of Dixoy’s story of the man who entered a. country store on a cold day. A group of loungers were huddled about the stove, and the stranger could not get near enough to keep warm. any oysters?” he asked the proprie- tor, and receiving an affirmative reply said: “Take a dozen on the half shell out to my horse.” All hands crowded to the door to see a horse eat oysters, and the. stran- ger secured the most comfortable seat. The proprietor returned soon. and said the horse refused to eat the shell fish. “Well, give ’em to me, then." said the foxy visitor, secure in his resting i For clothes, dishes, and all a cleaning purposes, lt-“SRHNE liVASi'ith‘i fl POWDER is matchless. a,» The splendid cake of Toilet Soap in every package is the dehght of the whole family.
