Xhe Republicans, of course, carried the state by an immense margin, but it is likely to fall at ffcnat 10,000 under the vote of 1896, but at the same time it is probably about 5,000 ahead of the gubernatorial vote two years ago.

Washington, Sept. 5.—A very interesting dispatch has been received at the war department from General Chaffee. It described the military situation as eminently satisfactory and would have been of greater value but for the omission common to all of the other official dispatches from China—namely, the date line. J Senator Wellington's speech marked his formal renunciation of party ties on account of the issues growing out of the war with Spain. He had for this reason prepared bis speech with care, and he read it from typewritten mauuscri^t. Mr. Bryan spoke without notes, add he appeared at the meeting almost immediately nfter the arrival of the special train which had brought him across the state of West Virginia and thus far into the state of Maryland. The journey had been au arduous one, covering, including the trip from Chicago, about 24 hours of railroad riding. Still Mr. Bryan appeared in excellent form, and he spoke with his customary vim and vigor. Evans Bros.

The jury is composed of prominent citizens, the foreman being Hon. J. 1'ark Alexander, a former member of the legislature. Judge Ivohlefc in charging the jury, exhorted them to be courageous and to place the blame wherever it belohged. He advised them also to investigate the conduct of the officials of the city, members of tbe police force, the marshal of the city and mem bers of the council as to what they did or did not do in the way of preventing or suppressing the lawlessness after it took place.

ACME STEAM LAUNDRY, 83 South (lain St. 46 Luzerne Ave. "Mark Twain is a good talker and invariably prepares himself, though he skillfully hides his preparation by his method of Ctclivery, which denotes that he is getting his ideas and phrases as he proceeds," says Will M. Clemens in Ainslee's. "He is an accomplished artist in this way. His peculiar mode of expression always seems contagious with an audience, and a laugh would follow the most sober remark. It is a singular fact that an audience will be in a laughing mood when they first enter the lecture room; they are ready to burst out at anything and everything. But that answer, or rather a synopsis of it, was not cabled to General Chaffee until the 30th ult., and it is assumed that, allowing for the same time in transmittal as was consumed by General Chaffee's dispatch received yesterday, the synopsis has just reached him. When the American answer to the Russian proposal was made public, it was stated here that General Chaffee had been instructed some time before by telegruph just what course to pursue in the matter of retiring from Peking in the event of the emergency that afterward arose. This being so, this application for instructions might be regarded as an indication that he had not received the original instructions when he sent his message.

In the emergency the lecture committee decided to employ Mr. Hornet to deliver his celebrated lecture on temperance, but so late in the day was this arrangement made that no bills announcing it could be circulated, and the audience assembled, expecting to hear Mark Twain. No one in the town knew Mr. Clemens or had ever heard him lecture, and they entertained the idea that he was funny and went to the lecture prepared to laugh. Even those upon the platform, excepting the chairman, did not know Mr. Hornet from Mark Twain, and so, when he was introduced, thought nothing of the name, as they knew Mark Twain was a pen name and supposed his real name was Hornet. stood side by side before an immense cluster of union jacks mingled with the stars and stripes.

Blowitz in the London Times that it wan un offset to France for Russia's supposed nomination of Count Waldersee is regarded as purely fanciful. A much simpler and more reasonable explanation is advanced by one of the diplomatic officials who has taken an active part in the negotiations.

The report that the Chinese minister at St. Petersburg, Mr. Yang Yu, was obliged to giye up his palatial residence and seek cW6p quarters because of the lack of remittances from Peking is disposed oC by Mr. Si, one of the Chinese officials who has recently arrived here from St. Petersburg. He says that, Mr. Yang Yu gave up his house because the lease had expired, and he expected to be recalled. This was before the present trouble and was in no way due to • any lack of remittances.

This is so as to the Chinese legation here, which is said to have suffered no inconvenience by reason of the upheaval. Carmel, N.
