MARYLAND. Daring Robbery of the Salisbury Postoffloc President Hayes, losing it In 1S80, when Garfield was elected President, nd gaining control two years la'er. The House was democratic during all of Mr. Cleveland's first term. Since the tidal wave of 1871, which swept the republicans from power, the House has been democratic with the exception of four years.

(1881 to 1883 and 1889 to 1891,) makioK. sixteen out of twenty years. Ab to Speaker Crisp. Probably the greatest sufferer by tbe democrat defeat will be Speaker Crisp. He was offered the senatorship from Georgia, to suo-ceed Mr.

Colquitt upon thelatter's death. He declined the offer, however. It was generally supposed that he anticipated that the democrats would retain control of the House and that be would continue as Speaker. Had the Georgia Legislature deferred its election of Senator only one week Mr. Crisp would most probably bave been an active aspirant for the senatorship lor which Mr.

Bacon was elected. As an ex-Speaker Mr. Crisp will be called upon to lead the democratic minority, and a great task confronts him. enable one every now and then to catch good glimpse of the surrounding country. Some distance this side of the Susquehanna there Is a delightful coast of about two miles.

The road leads down through the woods for this distance following the sinuous course of a stream and is a continuous coast all the way to the Susquehanna river. At the river the ferry was taken at Port Deposit, Ginner was taken at Oxford, light lunch at Westchester and supper at Philadelphia As to tbe roads, from here to Oxford they were fair to poor, from Oxford to Paoli bad. from there into Philadelphia the Lancaster pike was traversed. The pike needs no description. It is Al; nothing around Baltimore can approach it.

Every two miles or so there Is a modern town and roads lighted with electricity. Messrs. Dunlon and narvey on reaching Philadelphia made plans to continue on to Ne York the following day and make another century. But the weather man seemed to bave a grudge against them as it rained just after they started and they were com', p'etely drenched belore they had gone six The roads were then in such a bad condition that they haJ to give up the attempt. They took the train back to Baltimore.

All bands were well pleased with the hospitality shown tbem at the Pennsylvania WHY CHINA ASKS PEACE. Unable to Resist the Advance of Japanese Troops. FOREIGN INTERFERENCE SOLICITED.

Princo Kung, president of tbe Tsung-Li-Yamen. calmly avowed the impotence of China to withstand the Japanese attack and appealed to the powers to intervene, saying that China was willing to abandon her sovereignty over Coroa and to pay a war indemnity.

The ministers applauded the frankness of this confession and promised to support China's appeal to their respective governments, wltb a view to the restoration of peace in order to avert the dangers threatening all interests.

6. Secretary of the Navy Herbert has at last relieved the great tension experienced by the navy at large regarding several important naval commands wbicb have been daily expeoted for weeks, and in an announcement made late this afternoon assigns several officers to the most important naval commands on shore and one of the roost important at sea. The greatest surprise of all is his selection of the sucoessor of Captain Pbytblan as superintendent of the Naval Academy, as since The Sun's statement two months ago that Admiral Walker would not be detailed for this duty, it has been generally accepted that the race was between Captain Sicard and Captain Phillip. Secretary Herbert, however, has detailed Capt. Philip Cooper, now commanding the cruiser New York, and his choice is regarded as wise and one that will insure a proper conduct of tho government's greatest school.

Admiral Walker, it is now known, declined the detail after his return from Hawaii, and will remain on waiting orders until next upon Admiral Greer's retirement, be will become president of the lighthouse board. Captain Phythian is detached from the Naval Academy on Captain Cooper's reporting for duty, and will bo assigned to hia old post as superintendent of tbe new naval observatory, now in charge of Captain Mc-Nair. The successor of Admiral Gherardi, who retires on the 10th will be Commodore Montgomery Sicard, as has been stated in The Sun. Commodore Sicard is now commandant of the Portsmouth (N. navy-yard.

Captain Cooper's assignment to the Naval Academy was brought about by thePresldent, who was anxious to have a young officer ap pointed, believing that be would infuse more life and energy into the conduct of the school and bring about many changes which for years have been regarded as essential for the efficiency of the institution and tbe promotion of advanced Ideas of naval training. Desiring to carry out the policy indicated by the President.who had no preference for any particular officer, but who wanted a young man, the Secretary selected Captain Cooper, who is one of the youngest captains in tbe service, being nearlv at tbe bottom of his grade, on the grounS tbat be was probably the best equipped officer in the junior grade for the important post of the naval school. Captain Cooper was ordered to command the cruiser San Francisco last summer, and previous to the detail was a valued member of the inspection board, which conducted the trials of all our recent additions to the navy. His successor will be Cant. E.

M. Sheppard, while Capt. H. F. Picking, of Brazil fame, will command the receiving-ship Minnesota at New York.

Captain McNair. who is relieved by Captain Phythian. has been appointed a member of the examining and retiring board at the Navy Department, and Capt. Allen V. Reed to command the Portsmouth navy-yard.

Commodore C. S. Norton will command the South Atlantic station, with the Newark as bis flagship. Mr. Herbert's selections are regarded by the navy as excellent.

Next to Admiral Walker, it is said, no better officer could have been chosen for Annapolis than Captain Cooper. Commodore Sicard, who commands the New York yard, is an officer of high distinction, and for four years was chief of the ordnance bureau. Commodore Phythian falls heir to the detail of bis choice, while Commodore Norton is not averse to taking his turn at 6ea. MORE CIVIL SERVICE. Proposition to Extend It to Lower Grades of Employes.

Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.l Washington. Nov. 6. If Collector Shaw and Postmaster Warfield, of Baltimore, have any political promises to discharge, they bad better hurry up and discbarge them, or they will be compelled to have their favorites underaro a civil-servioe examination. It is tbe determination of the President to place many of the watchmen and messengers.Swbo have not heretofore been required to pass a civil service examination, under tbe protection of this system.

Floal orders for tbe extension of the classified service in all tbe government departments will be promulgated as soon as the civil' service commission obtains the information required to make tbe order thoroughly explicit. The two branches of tbe service most affected are the customs division, under the Treasury Department, and the employes in city post-offices. So far as the departments in this city are concerned noue but messengers and watchmen are transferred from the excepted class to the non-excepted class. All other employes except chiefs of divisions and laborers are already in the classified service. There are In all about 500 messengers and watchmen employed by tbe government.

In tbe Treasury Department there are 43 a-sistant mesaengers.96 watchmen and 6 special watchmen. In the State, War and Navy departments there are 60 messengers and 50 watchmen. In the Postoffice Department there are 30 wa'chmen, one messenger and 20 assistant messengers. The Interior Department employs about the same number, while in the Attorney-General's office and the Department of Agriculture there are sixty employes to come under the President's action. All these men are to be removed from the danger of dismissal, without cause, upon a change, of tbe admistra-tion.

In the Customs Districts. In the various customs districts throughout the country the number of employes whose appointment to and removal Trom office are to be made subject to the civil-service rules is very large How large the officials of the Treasury Department have not yet determined, because a careful examination of the books in tbe customs division is necessary in order to ascertain tbe number. A Sweeping: Change. It is proposed, however, to liring within the classified service all employes, except laborers, without rearurd to tho compensation they receive. This will Include chiefs of divisions, clerks, messengers, inspectors and all other employes in custom-bouses located in customs districts where more than twenty men are employed.

Where the customs districts are so unimportant tbat fewer than twenty are required to perform the work no change in the existing system will be made at present. This is tbe most important change contemplated by the President's order. Heretofore, while the postolRet8 throughout the country have been governed by civil service rules, the customs districts have been but little affected. As a result, the collectors at all large ports bave been important dispensers of lederal patron. ige, and consequently important political factors, in whatever motility they weru placed.

To make all appointments to positions under tbe collectors subject to tbe rules of the civil-service commission takes away from the collectors the power to iudulge in pernicious partisanship, such as made the civil-service law necessity. In City Postotflces. Tho changes in the city postoffices which will be made by tbe extension ot the classified service affect lartreiy chiefs of division. About the only positions excepted from subjection to civil-service rules are assistant postmasters, cashiers and assistant cashiers, secretaries to postmasters, and superintendents of sub-stations where letter-carriers are employed. About 1,500 postoffice officials in all, it is believed, will be transferred Ironi the excepted class to the classified service, leaving not more than 800 persona in the post-offices of the country, exclusive of tbe postmasters tnemselves, whose appointments are not dependent upon their ability to pass a civil-service examination.

How Baltimore Is Affected. In the Baltimore postoffice tbe assistant postmaster, the cashier and assistant cashier, and Mr.Warfleld's private secretary, together with such superintendents in charge of substations where letter-carriers are employed, tire tbe omy persons left outside the classified service, except skilled workmen, such as engineers, printers aud others whose employment depends upon their otvn skill more than on political influence. Agricultural Department. The chiefs and assistant chiefs or all tbo divisions in the Department of Agriculture are also withdrawn from the excepted class and piuced under the civil-service commission. These aro positions requiring special qualifications iu the persons occupying tbem und it is deemed both properand prudent to ascertain tne possession of tho necessary knowl-eie of an applicant before appointing nim.

The other changes determined upon, such as the appintment of ussistant teucbers in Indian schools, are unimportant und will affect very few persons.

6. It was announced today at a meeting of the trustees of tbe University of Pennsylvania that Mr. and Mrs. H. II.

Seventeen-year-old Mary Hammelt, of Nortb Front street, was perhaps fatally burned by her clothing taking fire at her homo yesterday, and her mother, Mrs. Ellle Hammett, was seriously burned in trying to save her child.while Katie Dixon, an actress, appeared as a heroine and through her presence of mind saved the victim from immediate death.

Miss Hammett had Just filled the kitchen lamp with coal-oil and wiped it oft with her cotton apron.when sbo came in contact with tbe kitchen stove, and in an instant bcr clothing was in flames. Her screams a'tracted the atteution of policemen of the tenth district station-house, which is Immediately adjoining, and they rushed to the rescue, led by FraiiK X. Kafferty, a reporter, who happened to be near. Before the rescuers could clumber over the seven-foot brick wall which separates the Hammett residenoo from the station-house Actress Katie Dixon, of the Glrard Avenue Theatre, attracted by the girl's screara9. had also rushed from her home across the street to the rescue.

Miss Dixon, with great presence ot mind, stripped from ber own person her flannel sk'rt and wrapped It around tbe girl, who had run out into the alley-way, thus extinguishing the fl.tmes. Miss Hammett was taken to St. Mary's Hospital, wnere it is feared that tbe Inhalation of tho flame from her burning garmeuts may prove fatal. Her mother's burns, though painful, are not considered by the physicians at the hospital as being dangerous. Woodman, Spare That Tree.

A most unusual legal proceeding was brought to end yesterday in Court of Common Pleas No. 4 by the decision of the court forbidding the destruction of a tree which stands on the line between two Tioga properties. The tree is a maple, 14 Inches in diameter and 50 feet high, and the principals In the litigation were Ezra Comfort and George W. Everhart. who is building a handsome residence on Tioga Btreet.

As the greater portion of tho tree stands on Mr. Everhart's side of the liue be decided to cut it down in order to make way for an ornamental stone coping, with whica he wanted to set off the front of bis house. His neighbor objected and in order to save the tree secured counsel and carried the dispute into the Equity Court. The case was presented to the court by tbe opposing lawyers In most elaborate details, while two photographs snowed the tree from different points of viw. Tho destruction of the tree, Mr.

Comfort contended, would Inflict au irreparable injury on his property, depriving it of shade iu summer and of ornament at all seasons of the year, and was unnecessary, because Mr. Everhart could run his stone wall up to the tree on both sides of the base of ic without removing the trunk. Counsel for Mr. Everhart admitted most of the main acts. rut claimed that the tree was not perfeot, but was partially decayed at the top.

He said the removal of the tree was an absolute necessity in order to construct his wall. The court, however, took the around that the tree was owned jointly by the two men nnd oould not be cut down without tbe consent of botb. John II. Durand. Mr.

John II. Durand, eighty-two years old. died in Philadelphia yesterday. For about forty years Mr. Durand was a shipchandler In Baltimore, on Pratt street, near Bowly's wharr.

Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Washington, Nov. 6. At midnight tonight It is oonoedod that the Fifty-fourth Congress will be republican. While thiscon-cession is made by the democrats, the republicans are claiming a majority ranging from ten to fifty.

Their claims change with each hour. It is useless, however, to dispute their claim that they will rule the next House. That is a fact which must be seriously faced, although Cnalrman Faulkner still has hopes of democratic success. Still it Is only a question of the size of tbelr majority. That it will besufficieutlylarge toenablethem to organize the next House will not be an unmixed evil.

They wili not be driven, as they were six years ago, to the disgraceful proceeding of unseating democrats honestly and honorably elected in order to Increase their slender majority. Their majority will be sufficiently large in the lower house to enable them to carry through their legislation according to tbeir own sweet will. Perhaps a Republican Senate. The result of today's election also probably carries with it a republican Senate to assume charge on March I next. It is probable that there will be an increase In the number of Dopulistio members, but this will prove but poor solace to the democrats.

Seuator Hill, although defeated for Governor of New York, will retain his seat in the Senate until March, 1897. The terms of thirty Senators will expire on March 4 next. Of these the democrats are: Messrs. Berry, Butler, Caffery, Camden, Coke. Walsh, Harris, Hunton, Lindsay, Martia, McPherson, Morgan, Ransom and Walthall.

Republicans: Messrs. Carey, Chandler, Cullom, Dixon, Dolph, Frye, Higglns, Hoar, Manderson, Mc Millan, Fettlgrew, Power. Sboup, Washburn, Wilson and Wolcott. Of the democratlo members Mesars. Caffery and Walthall have already been re-elected, while Georgia has elected a democratic Senator and Virginia has elected Mr.

Martin, democrat, for the term beginning March 4. Arkansas will either re-elect Mr. Berry or will, at least, send a democrat to the Senate. South Carolina will elect Governor Tillman to succeed Mr. Butler, and while Mr.

Tillman may bave populistic tendencies, he may be relied upon to have close affiliations with tbe dem ocrats. Mr. Coke's successor from Texas will be a democrat. Mr. Harris will be his own successor from Tennessee, as will Mr.

Lindsay, from Kentucky, and Mr. Morgan, from Alabama. The successor of Mr. Ransom, from North Carolina, if not himself, will be a democrat, as will also be the long-term Senator to succeed the late Sen ator Vance. Of the republican Senators there is hardly one whose seat is in doubt as far as politics is concerned.

Of tbe democrats, however, there are in doubt Senators from West Virginia. Kansas and New Jersey, a total of three. As the Senate now stands there are forty-four democrats, thirity-eight republicans, two populists and three vacancies. Tbe vacancies are all from States admittedly republican. It seems.tbere-fore, that the democrats may lose control of the Senate.

The only ray of hope would lie in the election In Utah, which, unfortunately, (for it is regarded as democratic,) does not elect its Senators this Supposing that the three doubtful democratic Senators should be lost there would be forty-one democrats and forty-one republicans. The populists would bold the balance of power. A Democratic President. Finure as one may, however, the fact must be conceded that the Fifty-fourth Congress will be in the bands of the republicans, as tbo populist Senator Peffer always votes on partisan questions with tbe republican party. But what will republican control avail? Mr.

Cleveland's term will not expire until March 1897, tbe same day upon which the republican House as elected today will expire. The repubifcans will, therefore, be powerless to carry to successful issue a change in the tariff or elections bill. Any such bills would, of course, be vetoed by the President, and the republican majority will not be sufficiently large to override a presidential veto. In order, therefore, for for the republicans to accomplish any vicious legislation it will be necessary for them to retain control of tbe Fifty-fifth Cdngress and to elect their President two years hence. Looking to 1896.

But can they elect tbeir President and Congress in 1896? Xt is problematical. It is doubtful, very doubtful. Indeed, this democratic defeat of today might not be such a calamity after all if a glance into tbe future be taken. Will not the republicans be placed upon tbe defensive just as the democrats have beeu for two years? Will not Mr Reed be elected Soeaker? And will he not be the same Czar Reed he was four years ago when he presided over the House? Will not the House attempt the enactment of a force bill? And will not tbis attempt solidify the South as it was solidified by the Lodge bill four years ago? Will not an attempt be made to increase the tariff duties? These are pertinent questions, and will they not all tend to aid the democratlo cause two years hence when the real struggle the presidential election will come along? It looks tbat way. The Paramount Issue.

That tariff reform will continue to be the paramount issue of the democratic party there is no doubt. The principles of a reduced tariff are too firmly established in the minds of tbe American people to be eliminated or destroyed by a momentary repulse. The principles advocated by such democratic leaders as Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Wilson are too strongly intrenched in the good sense of the people of t.his country to be wiped out by a defeat a defeat which was entirely due to the perfidy of the Senate, tothe domination of Gormanism, Brice-irnu and Smithism.

Had every democratic Senator been as faithful to his trust as were Mr. Wilson. Mr. C. R.

Breckeuridge. Mr. Bynum, Mr. Bryan. Mr.

Stevens, Mr.Cockran and other democratic Representatives In the House there would have been another result to record of today's elections. The Republicans' Policy. Of course the republicans will try to carry out the policies they have advocated the force bill, a higher tariff and other vicious legislation. But just think of the jealousies which will be aroused by rival leaders, all of whom will claim credit lor the republican victory. Ex-President Harrison will point to bis administration as the presage of victory, as a vindication of republican principles.

An 1 Mr. McKinley will claim that the people have repudiated tariff reform and recoornized the merits of the bill which bears bis name and which had no defender except himself during the campaign. Mr. Reed will say that his campaigning tour did all that his leadership in the House of Representatives was tbe chief and only cause of democratic defeat. Ex-Vice-President Morton will pose as the man who defeated Hill.

All of these men are kicking their presidential foot-balls toward the same goal, the presidential nomination two years hence, and what a lively scrimmage it will be. Chairmau Faulkner's Statement. Senator Faulkner, the chairman of the democratic congressional committee, made tho following statement at midnight: "Indications seem to point to a republican victory in the congressional contest. However, tbe lut'ormation received does not Justify me in giving up tbe organization of the House by the democrats, nor does my Information justify me In giving up tbe election of Mr. Wilson.

1 have men at every doubtful point who will telegraph me as soon as the returns are made. I have received no word from any of them and am certain that the counts bave not beeu completed. We bave won In the third and fourth West Virginia districts, but the chairman of the first district of tbat ate admits the election of Dovener. republican, by 1.5C0 to 1,700. Tbat district has undergone tbo most remarkable change ever known iu the politics of the country, due to a great extent to' tbe A.

P. A. and partly to the manufacturing interests. It is supposed tbat Cummitigs is defeated by 14 votes in New York city, but that is Dot sure. 1 understand that our friends in Miohigan admit that tho republicans have carried tbe State and all but two members of Congress.

We bave nothing authentic from Wisconsin. Tarsney's election in Missouri seems to bo In doubt. The A. P. A.

bus been active against him. In tbe South I know of no losses, but several gains, including tbe seat now held by Murray, colore! republican, of South Carolina. There seems to be no possibility of a loss of inoro than one district of Virginia." Historical Reference. Tbe republicans had a majority of the House from Idol to 1875 continuously, thu first democratic! Speaker after the war being Hon. Miohael C.

Kerr, of Indiana, who died In office, Hon. Samuel J. Randall being elected to fill tbe vacancy occasioned by bis death In 1876. Tbe democratlo party bad a majority of the House during the entire administration of BALTIMORE ATHLETIC TEAM WINS.

The Johns Hopkins 'Varsity eleven, or rather that portion of it which was out of the hospital, played a short and sweet game upon Clifton campus yesterday afternoon with the Baltimore Athletic Club. Score: Baltimore Athletic Club, Johns Hopkins, 0. After twenty-one minutes of p'ay, aud before a half had been ended, the game was stopped, partly by darkness and partly by reason of an injury to Capt. Stewart Janney. of Hopkins.

Captain Janney's hurt was not a new one. It was tbe same old ankle and the same old sprain, but with a new twist tbat compelled a committee to go to Washington last night to postpone the game with the Maryland Agriculture College, which was set for today at the national capital. The 'Varsity eleven got in a new invoice of liniment last night and hope to be in shape for the game of Sat urday with Washington College at Chester-town. But this is not telling about the contest on Clifton campus yesterday. Three hundred persons assembled to see the game, which was set for 4 o'clock sharp.

It was begun promptly an hour and two minutes late, or at 5.02 by the clock, owing to a wait for some of the 'Varsity ayers. The Baltimore Athletic Club sent the ball off and it descended Into trouble on the thirty-yard line and was soon downed. There was a deal of contention, with many appeals to referee and umpire, and some fine bursts of oratory were beard. Tbe ball continued in play on the left end of Hopkins's line, with but few reverses, and the B. A.

C. worked it close to goal.where.af ter a return by Janney, the ball was blocked by Parmely, of the Athletics, and was sent ten feet across the line, where Cook, with a lightning dash, made a touchdown. Parmely then kicked goal. This was ten minutes after beginning of the game. With tbe Baltimore Atble io Club six pcints in tbe lead, Hopkins kicked off the ball into B.

A. C. territory. From about the thirty-yard line it was worked back toward midfield, B. A.

C. gaining three yards to two on the part of Hopkins in the earlier plays, and securing the ball a majority of times on downs. Then Harrisou, by a run and Parmely by a short 6Print. succeeded bvaBpIendld run around left end for thirty yards, advanced the ball well across mid-field. Here, with the leather well in Hopkins's territory, Janney, who as usual had been the giant in the strife, fell wounded.

Night was throwing a charitable mantle over the scene, and the game, just twenty-one minutes old, was called, while a big crowd of rooters from the Baltimore Athletic Club cheered themselve hoarse. The li ne-up was as follows: Salto. A.C. Potitionr. Johm Hopklnt.

IRREPRESSIBLE CENTURY MEN. Messrs. Harvey, Dunlop, Cresson and Chittick Awheel. Capt. H.

P. Hall, or the Baltimore Cycle Club, called a century run to Philadelphia last Sunday. The club prides itself on its strong road-riders as well as its great string of track-racers, and therefore chose a bard century run. Captain Hall at the last moment found It impossible to go, but four members set bravely out and completed tbe task. These men were W.

J. Chittick, W. W. Cresson, James R. Dunlop and F.

Howard Harvey. They took an early breakfast and left Baltimore at 5.30 A. M. Tho route lay out the Harford pike to Belair, Port Deposit, Oxford, Westchester to Lapldum, on the west bank of the beautiful Susquehanna. Tbe road wound through an in teres ting country, while tbe hills were just high enough to NATIONAL NEWS NOTES.

The Movement for Good Roads Services for the Late Czar. Washington. Nov. 6. The Agricultural Department is about to issue elaborate information on the subject of "good roads," which Congress has directed the department to investigate.

The publication will embrace tbe entire proceedings of tbe national road conference, held at Asbury Park. N. July 5 and 6 last, at which conference every shade, of opinion on Improving roads was presented. Mr. Roy Stone, the special agent and road engineer of the department.will also include a number of addresses on the road question.

He makes no report, so that these addresses practically constitute a report. Mr. Stone says among other things: "The main question is, 'How can a people baring no surplus capital build good For an answer we must go where they have done it successfully and study tbe methods adopted. First, we must study all tbe economies possible in construction; second, we must find out all tbe parties to be benefited and see tbat each bears his proper share of tbe cost, whether or not he belongs to the immediate locality or even to the present generation of men; third, we must look into local questions of road materials and transportation and into all latest improvements in road implement and machinery. But who is to do all this? And that brings us tothe first practical step in general road improvement, namely, that every State should have a permanent commission composed of citizens of the highest character to undertake this investigation, and recommend the necessary measures to the Legislature, to watch the workings of these measures when adopted, and to secure any possible improvement in them.

The next step is to make the best possible use of convict labor in road buildiDg. My own impression is that State prison convicts will be best employed in the preparation of road materials, in quarry-camps or gravel pits, where tbey can be guarded and secluded as easily as in prisons, and tbat county prisoners and tramps should do tbe grading and ail other preparatory work on the roads. Senor Rengifo, tbe charge of the Colombia legation here, is about to urge tbe State Department to relinquish the protection the United States has long given to the Jennet Guatio Company, established by an American named Jennet, to take the valuable guano deposits ou the islands off the Colombian coast. The case involves interesting questions of territorial jurisdiction. While the German government is accusing our cattlemen of introducing Texas lever intaGermany they have themselves to contend with another formidable cattle disease which has broken out again among the farm animals in Central Germany, notably in Voigtland and Saxe-Altenburg.

This disease is known as the flaps and foot -rot, and United States Consul Stephen, at Annaberg, who reports the outbreak to the State Department, says it is tbe more unfortunate for the farmers there, as only two years ago the same disease reduced tbe stock considerably and an tbe drought of 1893, with its subsequent fodder scarcity, com pel. ed the farmers to slaughter large numbers of their cattle. Prince Cantacuzene, the Russian minister, notitied the State Department today that memorial services to the late Czar would be held at the Russian legation at 10 o'clock on Friday morning. Invitations to President Cleveland, members of tbe cabinet and other high officials have been issued. The ceremony will be with the impressive ritual of tne Greek Church, Bishop JVicoiaus, of the Diocese of Alaska, officiating.

WOMEN AT THE POLLS. A Heavy Vote in Denver and Chicago Gathering Voters in Hacks. Denvkr. Nov. 6.

It is safe to say that no less than half of tbe votes polled in this city today were by women. Out or a total registry of 70,000 In Arapahoe county about 30,000 are women, and as a large num-ber of men registered were oa the books a year ago and Eume bave since left the city, while the female registration is all new, it is likely tbat more than three-sevenths. of tbe legal voters were women. When the polls opened at 7 A. M.

scores of women were in Hoe in every precinct. Hundreds or carriages were flying over the city directed by committee women, among whom are many of the most prominent society ladies of the city, gathering votes. Nothing since the adoption of the Australian ballot system has more contributed to quietness than the presence of the women at the polls. The usual campaign newspapers' talk of contemplated bulldozing of the voters was indulged iu and tbo result has been th.it men who have not voted before in years because thev detested the annoyance attendant upon the effort appeared at the polls today, with their wives, mothers or be sure that they received proper treatment. It is safe to say tbat not one of the 75,000 women who havo today exercised the right of franchise in Colorado has received any thing but tbe most courteous treatment-All day long tbe private carriages of tbe Capitol Hill society leaders were carrying women voters to the polls.

In many cases the ladies owning the turnouts went with them to urge tbe voters to make use of their franchise. A very large majority of these, though not all, are advocates of the republican ticket, and their euergy undoubtedly made many votes for Mclniyreand his colleagues. Through the influence of the organ zation the committee women are far more thoroughly iniormed as to the political preferences of tbe women in their district than are tbe men regarding tbeir sex, but no doubtful voter was neglected. Among tbe women who have taken an active part In the campaign and who have been prominent among the workers today, may be named: Mrs. Sue M.

Hall, wife or the well-known Colorado historian, Frank Hall, at present ciiy treasurer of Denver; Mrs. David IIv Moffatt, wife or tho president of the First National Bank and one of the most extensive mine-owners in the State, aud Mrs- Rout, wife of the exsGovernor. Their homes bave been repeatedly thrown open for receptions to candidates during the campaign, while their personal services were iriven ireely to the work of spreading campaign arguments and today was devoted to in creasing tbe vote for their favorite candidates. Tue society ladies are not, however, the only ones who wero in evidence at the po Is today. Many housewives have left their firesides.

They, represent all parties, the greater number advocating their candidates of the two prominent parties. Notwithstanding tbe fact that the prohibition party has always laid claim to tbo great majority of women, the demonstration shows that comparatively few of the leading temperance workers voted with that party. On each of the State tickets the candidates for superintendent of public instruction is a woman, while each ticket in this county has some female candidates for the Legislature. It does uot appear, however, that the women voters made any special effort for these candidates, the main question being whether or not Governor Wuite shall be re-elected and whether a Legislature shall be chosen that will return I. O.

Walcott to the Senate. The women voters generally took a partisan stand and did very little scratching. In many precincts women were judges and clerks. Advices from throughout the State show that the women took tbe same interest in the election that was shown in this city. Ia county precincts where miles eeparaie votes tbe vote will be heavier than was ever known before.

Tbe reports from tbo campaign speakers bave been that the political meetings have at all times been largely attended by the wives and daughters of the farmers and miners and it now appears tbat they bave not been idle spectators. One of the many features of tbe introduction of women into tbe campaign and at tbe polls has been tbeir extreme earnestness. Chicago, Nov. 6. An interesting feature was developed by the fact tbat after a bard-fought legal battle women were given the privilege of voting for Stata University trustees, and as each ticket had a woman candidate a very large vote was cast by the fair sex.

Oue of the incidents of the day was when Deaconesses Mary Jeff ersou, Mother Superior of tho Deaconesses' Home; Lucy E. Lawry and El zabeth J. Hodgo arrived at the polls In he twenty-fourth ward. It took them but two minutes to vote. The ladies seemed quite at home in the polling-station, dressed as tbey were, in tbelr ministering costume of biaok gowns and white hoods.

To a reporter Miss Jefferson explained tbat all the deaconesses did not vote the same ticket. nb aw eiiners on board, including the European officials, were allowed to leave unmolested. All declare that Port Arthur will certainly be bombarded and captured. The dispatch adds that Li Hung Chang has been ordered to Pekin to give an uuwu his proceedings during the past three montbs. Capture of Foo Chow.

wnntvnTmi. ifnr. fi. A short cablegram received by Secretary Gresham today from United States Minister Denny, at ream, chronicles another important forward movement by the Japanese. It reads: "Japanese ho iQir.n Chow.

In the Gulf of Liau- tung, approaching Shan-Kal-Kuan. Two a rrw rpain campaigns against MOUKaen anu j.4cu-j.oiu. Denby." All of this means, according to the interpretation arrived at by tbe State Department officials, tbat the Japanese have seized tho Imnnrtnnr. Ktrateffio Dort of Kin-Chow, near New Chang, and on the railroad leading in one direction toward tne xieu-xsm, and in the other toward the Manchurian capital, Moukden. The latter Is thus threat ened from two sides, as the Japanese iorces which have crossed tbe Yalu river from Corea are advancing rapidly from the southeast upon this doome 1 capital, and according to Minister Denby's cablegram, another force will start northward from Kin-Chow to join them.

The distance from Kin-Chow to Tien-Tsin is only about two hundred miles, and tho roads are the best in China. Tlen-Tsln is well fortified, but shoull it fall, the way to Pekin, the Chinese capital, would be open to the invaders. Neither the Chinese nor Japanese legations bave any official advices of the Japanese victories cabled by Minister Denby nor of the reported efforts of China to seoure peace. The tendency at both legations is to doubt that any peace overtures have been or can be made at the present juncture. It is believed that the Japanese intend to occupy Moukden, Wlju.

Port Arthur aud Tien-Tsin, thus completing a strategic position which will command peace on the terms they desire, or, in tbe absence of peace, will permit the Japanese to go into winter quarters aud resr the campaign until spring. Shanghai, Nov. 6. A dispatch from Che Foo says that a number of Japanese torpedo-boats made a reconaissance of Port Arthur yesterday. The Japanese expect to complete i he investment of Port Arthur within a week.

In spite of reports to the contrary the Chinese fleet is said to be at Port Arthur. Vigorous Stand. Shanghai. Nov. 6.

The British officials here have sent an ultimatum to the Viceroy demanding a settlement of the Chung King atTair within seven days. Tbe British demands are tbat Taotal Sheng be dismissed and degraded, tho Chung King is to be saluted with 21 guns from tbe Taku forts, aud a money indemnity is to be paid to the owners of the Chung King. If these demands are not complied with within the specified time reprisals upon the part of the British fleet are threatened. The Chung King affair is one of the.re-markab'e incidents of the war between China and Japan and may have serious On August 4 last a Tien-Tsin dispatch announced that thirteen Japanese soldiery, who had been forcibly removed by the Chinese from the British steamship Chung King, were returned immediately upon the Viee- iTi.nT fhonff Twinnr not'fled. and.

it was added, that the Viceroy apologized to the British consul. On August 7, however, a dispatch from ch.n.iui onnnnniwH tho arrival there of the steamship Chung King, and the captain of that vessel gave bis version of the affair, which gave It a more serious aspect. The captain said that while his hio was at Tung Ku, on the Gulf of Pechili, Chinese soldiers went on board of her for tbe purpose of seizing the Japanese passengers. They found on board the steamship 60 Japanese, mostly women and children, and at once began to hunt them down. Tbe Chinese pursued the Japanese all over the vessel, bound them hand and foot as soon as caught and flung them over on the wharr.

6. P. G. Hamerton, the well-known artist, author and poet, is dead. Philip Gilbert Hamerton was born at Lane-side, Lancashire, England, September 10, 1834.

A taste for the lino arts led him to study landscape painting, and he began to exorcise bis peu very early in life by contributing to tbe Hlstorlo Times a series of articles entitled "Rome in 1819," and iu 1855 he published a volume of verses. "Tbe Isles of Loch Awe and Other Poems," with illustrations by the nuthor. Later Mr. Hamerton went to France and studied painting aud French literature. On his return to England he followed a literary occupation.

In 18t8 he published "Etchings and Etchers." and later he published essays on French art and wrote his first novel. "Wen-deruolme." "The Intellectual Life," one of the most widely known of Hamerton's works, appeared in 1873, and in 1876 be published "Round My House." an account of the author's personal observations of rural Hie aud character in France. A number of works on art followed in succeeding years. Mr. Hamerton was a me ubre protecteur of the Belgian Etching Club and an honorary member of the Society ot Painter-Etcher.

CHINESE METHODS. As Regards Failure and Success in the Empire. In China nothing succeeds like success, and nothing fails like failure. If you succeed, you get yellow riding jackets and all manner of useful thing-; if you fail, that is usually the end or you. But China Is different from most couutrles.

In ordinary countries if a genera) loses his head, he gets beaten. In China if a general gets beaten, he loses his head. Even for letting Japan get ahead in warlike preparations Li Hung Chang has bad his yellow riding jscket taken away from bim by the Emperor. A few more defeats and Lt Hung Chang will have nothing lert to wear. But, after all, "Off with his yellow riding jacket!" is more humane than "Off with bis head!" Tbe yellow riding jacket is a sort of garter and seal of office combined, being a symbol of royal favor and a sign of thc highest power, lt is said that a former Emperor, in a moment of enthusiasm, took off his own Jacket and placed it upon the first Marquis 'lseng Kow Fan.

iho Marquis was so pleased that be never allowed it to be removed from his back, tie lived to enjov the jacket for raatiy years. Wben he died jacket was buried with him. It was the onlv thing to be done. There are limits even to Chinese Insensibility. Li Hung has been called "tbe Bismarck of China." And indeed tbe position of the veterau Chinese statesman in relation to the younger Emperor has some points of resemblance to that of tb aeed chancellor toward the Kaiser.

The Vicerov is by far the most powerful minister in China. It is even a matter of surprise to those who know something of Celestial politics that the Emperor should have ventured to degrade him. But LI Hung Chang ims raanv enemies among tho more conservative Chinese. A Chinese conservative is tbe most immovable thing on carlb, iml tho syiuputav with European ideas which the minister has shown has rendered bim uupopular tavoughont a large portion of the empire. taUrilaH.
