LOUISVILLE, Nov. 9. -The following statement was given out from the Repub- lican headquarters: \Practically complete official returns give McKinley 444 plurality in Kentucky, unofficial advices indicating that the four missing counties will increase rather than decrease these figures. The Republicans elect four members of congress and a judge of the hightest court of the state for an 8-year term, and by the filling of vacan- cles have gained a majority of two in the legislature on a joint ballot, which ensures a Repblblican successor to Senator Black- burn. Alabama Legislature to Convene. MONTGOMERY, Nov. 9.-The general as- sembly of Alabama will convene tomor- row. 'The first two weeks will be devoted to the election of a senator to succeed Sen- ator Pugh. Governor Oates, Representa- tive Bankhcad and General E. W. Pettus are showing about equal strength. Four- fifths of the legislature were elected as Democrats, and more than two-thirds of them are silver advocates. Pugh's suc- cessor will, therefore, probably be a silver man. Oates entertains moderate silver views; the other candidates are enthusi- asts. * Republican Senator For Kentucky. CINCINNATI, Nov. 9.-The Commercial Tribune's special from Frankfort, Ky., says: There is no longer any talk of the Republicans uniting with the gold Demo- crats on Carlisle, Breckinridge or any oth- er Democrat to succeed Senator Black- burn.

Seattle, Wash., Nov. 9.-A boom has been started here for William J. Bryan for United States Senator from this State. The silver fusionists will con- trol the Senatorship. 'The constitution of Washington provides that to be eli- gible to the office the candidate shall be merely an \inhabitant\ of the State at the time of his election, so that the fus- ion majority could elect Mr. Bryan with- out trouble. Rishard Windsor, Sr., the Populist leader in Washington, and James Hamilton Lewis, Democratic fusionist and member-ele@® of Congress, are rival candidates for the Senatorship and Mr. Bryan has been suggested as a compromise. Consumption in its advanced stages is beyond power of man to cure. It can be- prevented, though, by timely use of Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup, nature's own remedy for coughs and colds. Bach was the founder of the modern music, and the inventor of the modern system of fingering the piano and organ. As a writer of fuge musle he has never been surpassed, while his religious com- positions stand unrivaled. \ cCcASTOR®Y' ..

SPOKE, Oct. 20.-The new Japanese Ca‘fnnet has made a public declaration of its policy, but the terms employed are ngt sufficiently explicit to indicate a practical programme. Suggestions are ofl’eueq that the ministry incline toward removing all restrictions upon freedom of speech and public meeting and even | toward acknowledging the necessity of parliamentary support. But no defi-. nite promises are made. What some propagandists of Christi- anity have to endure in China is illus- trated by the story of a missionary who, after. spending ten months at Si-Ning among the scenes of the Mahomedan rebellion, set out to travel with his wife to Lanchow, the capital of Kan-Su. He mentioned incidentally that they were glad to get away from Si-Ning, not merely because the long peariod. of stya-in and excitement spent there had tried their nerves, but because the place was a \veritable dunghilk\ The jour- ney from Si-Ning to Lanchow occupied a space of nine days. \The first night,\ writes the missionary, \ we-that is to say he and his wife-shared part of a brick bed with others and had as much |- room fot the four of us as an ordinary sized man would require for himself. Another night we shared a bed. with four soldiers who very kindly got to- gether to make room for us.\ 'There is absolutely no truth in the re- port that Japan is lending aid to the Manila . insurgents in their struggle against Spain. ° tC Labor is beginning to take its stand against capital in Japan. 'There have been several strikes lately, and in every case employers have agreed to the de- mand of the employed. It is true the demands have not been excessive in any instance. Indeed, the sharp rise in the price of all commodities that has taken place in Japan during the past year justifies laborers in seeking increased pay. But the conflict having com- menced is not likely to terminate specdi- ly, especially as manufacturers are be- ginning to be greatly inconvenienced by scarcity of hands. Prof. Mott Dead. \New York, Nov. 9.-Prof. Henry A. Mott, the well known chemist and chemical expert, died yesterday of heart disease. Prof. Mott was born on Staten Island in 1852, and his grandfather was Valentine Mott, the famous, surgeon. Prof. Mott was graduated from the school of Mines, Columbia College, in 1873, with high honors. He was an ex- pert in chemistry in the courts and tes: tified in the recent Fleming murder trial. He was also retained by the French Government for the defence in the Shakespeare case. He was profes- sor of chemistry in the New York Medi- cal College and the Hospital for Women and the official chemist of the medico- legal society. He was for three years years employed by the United. States Government to examine the food pro- ducts purchased by the Indian depart- ment. Prof. Mott was the author of many books, and also contributed large- ly to scientific journals. The three-year-old boy of J. A. John- son, of Lynn Center, IlL, is subject to attacks of croup. Mr. Johnson says he is satisfied that the timely use of Cham- berlain's Cough Remedy, during a se- vere attack, saved his little boy's life. He is in the drug business, a member of the firm of Johnson Bros. of that place; any they handle a great many patent medicines for throat and lung diseases. He had all these to chose from, and skilled physicians ready to respond to his call, but selected this remedy for use in his own family at a time when his child's life was in danger, because he knew it to be superior to any other, and famous the country over for its cures of croup. Mr. Johnson says this is the best selling cough medicine they handle, and that it gives splendid satis- faction in all cases. Sold by D. D. Sheldon and F. K.
