AF THE COUNTRY HOME
Graphophones are particularly adapted
r > out-of-door use, and are, therefore,
-P c-uii.v available for lawn parties and
all out door gatherings at the summer
home. When the atmosphere is stifling
iu doors and the energy is lacking with
which to entertain family and friends,
the Graphophone stands ready and
willing to delight and cheer with its
melody, story and song. It will be the
jolliest member of the jolliest party,
smg rag-time coon songs in inimitable
fashion, tell the most clever and side
splitting hay-seed stories, or entertain
with the latest march or familiar oper
atic selection. A big stock of Grapho

NEAR BOTHAVILLE
Boers Defeated and Pursued
Into the Mountains.
BRITISH LOSE HEAVILY
Colonel LeGallais Among the Killed.
Seven People Cremated In a Railway
Disaster—Chinese Officials Executed.
Other European News of Interest.
Bothaville, Nov. 9. There has
been heavy fighting since Nov. 6, result
ing in the defeat of the Boers, who lost
23 killed, 30 wounded and 100 taken
prisoners. Seven of their guns were
also captured. The British lost three
officers and four men killed.
London, Nov. 9. —Lord Roberts, tele
graphing from Johannesburg under date
of Nov. 8, gives details of the defeat of
the Boers near Bothaville, and adds to
the facts already known the followings
“Colonel LeGallais was heavily en
gaged for five hours with 1,000 Boers.
Knox reinforced LeGallais and com
pletely defeated the Boers. Dewet and
Steyn, with the Boers, left in great
haste and were pursued some miles to
the southeast. The enemy broke up into
small parties. LeGallais was among
the killed. Steyn’s secretary, DeVil
liers, was wounded and captured. ’ ’
Lord Roberts also reports a number of
small affairs, the most important of
which was an engagement fought Nov.
0 by Smith-Dorrien, south of Dalma
nutha, which resulted in the Boers being
driven to the east of the Komati river.
RUSSIAN PRESS COMMENT.
McKinley’s Re-Election Is Regarded
as a Victory For Monroeism.
St. Petersburg, Nov. 9.—Continu
ing the comments on the recent election
in the United States the Viedomosti re
gards the re-election of McKinley as a
“victory for Monroeism above all.” It
adds:
“Perhaps the time will come for the
European powers to declare once and
for all that there is only one interna
tional family and only one international
law, and that if the United States wishes
to be a member she must renounce her
fantastic theories.”
Although the enthusiasm of the
Fraco Russian alliance, apparently, is
not nearly so great as formerly, the
press here displays some tvarmth in dis
cussing the czar-Loubet dispatches. The
Novoe Vremya attaches great import
ance to them as “showing there is no
change in the relations between the two
powers.”
The Novosti regards the same as
“proof that the stories of an estrange
ment are unfounded.”
Russian Iron Mines Valueless.
St. Petersburg, Nov. 9.—The iron
mines discovered a year ago in the gov
ernment of Kursk (in the south of Eu
ropean Russia), for the working of
which 18 companies were partially es
tablished, prove to be valueless.
Wrecks In the Black Sea.
St. Petersburg, Nov. 9.—The No
voe Vremya says two steamers and 20
odd sailing vessels were wrecked in the
Black sea during the recent storms, sev
eral foundering with their entire crews.
New Theatrical Company.
St. Petersburg, Nov. 9.—A new
theatrical company has been founded at
Moscow with a capital of 1,000,000 rou
bles.
BOXER LEADERS BEHEADED.
Chinese Officials Executed by Order
of the Foreign Ministers.
Peking, Nov. 6, via Shanghai, Nov.
9.—Four of the leading officials of Pao-
Ting-Fu, including Ting Yang, the act
ing viceroy of Pe-Chi-Li, and General
Kusi Hing, were executed Nov. 5 under
the sentence imposed by the tribunal of
the allies.
Renewed reports of the death of the
empress dowager are in circulation, but
they lack verification and are discred
ited.
French Commanders Protest.
Peking, Nov. 4, via Shanghai, Nov.
9. —The French commanders have pro
tested against the Italians and Germans
attacking the Chinese near Pao-Ting-Fu,
claiming the Chinese there are under
French protection. A French zouave,
having killed an Italian soldier by mis
take, the Italian troops were greatly
excited, but the officers succeeded in
calming them.
Controversy Settled.
Panama, Nov. 9.—A settlement of
the serious controversy between the
Panama Railroad company and the Co
lombian government has been effected
by an agreement of the company to pay
$200,000 to Governor Alban of Panama.
The differences arose over article 4 of
t<be contract of July 5, 1867, tvhich pro
vided that the company should extend
its line to Flamenco, on Denoas island,
tn Panama bay.
Returns Favor Reid.
St. Johns, Nov. 9.—The first elec
tion returns received in the colonial
election held yesterday favor Mr. Reid.
The Brigus district elected Mr. Mackay,
the Tory candidate, by a majority of 54.
The same district gave a Tory majority
of 513 in the last election.
Seven Burned to Death.
Offenbah, Hesse, Nov. 9.—Two ex
press trains came into collision today
between this place and Frankfort-on

setting tire to the wreckage, and seven
persons were burned to death and four
injured.

CLEVELAND FAVORS
A REORGANIZATION
Don M. Dickinson Refutes the
Alleged Interview.
BRYAN MAKES STATEMENT
Says the Party Should Not Abandon
the Eight—Pays Tribute to the Loy
alty of Party Leaders—What He Say*
of the Result.
New York, Nov. 9.—ln response to
a query ex-President Cleveland wrote
and signed the following:
“I have heard nothing about a move
ment on foot for the regeneration of the
Democratic party, but I hope steps will
be taken in that direction.
“I am not willing to make any state
ment now.”
Detroit, Nov. 9.—Don M. Dickinson
of this city, postmaster general under
President Cleveland, today denied an
alleged interview with him that ap
peared yesterday in a'New York paper,
in which he was made to say that plan*
had been decided upon at a meeting in
New York for the reorganization of the
Democratic party. Asked if he knew
whether such a meeting had been held
in New York, Mr. Dickinson said: *
“I decline to make any statement. I
am not engaged in promoting any move
ment for the reorganization of the party.
If a meeting is called I presume I shall
be invited.”
“Will such a meeting be called?”
‘‘l decline to be drawn into any de
tails, ’ ’ was his answer.
MR. BRYAN ON THE RESULT
He Is Surprised at the Magnitude of
the Republican Victory.
Lincoln, Neb. Nov. 9.—William J.
Bryan has given out the following state
ment concerning the election:
“The result was a surprise to me and
the magnitude of the Republican vic
tory was a surprise to our opponents as
well as to those who voted our ticket.
It is impossible to analyze the returns
until they are more complete, but speak
ing generally we seem to have gained
in the large cities and to have lost in
the smaller cities and in the country.
“The Republicans were able to secure
tickets or passes for all their voters who
were away from home and this gave
them considerable advantage. We have
no way of knowing at this time how
much money was spent in the purchase
of votes and in colinization.
“But while these would account for
some of the Republican gains, they
could not account for the widespread in
crease in the Republican vote. The
prosperity argument was probably the
most potent one used by the Republi
cans.
“They compared present conditions
with the panic times of 1893 to 1896 and
this argument had weight with those
who did not stop to consider the reasons
for the change. The appeal, 'stand by
the president while the war is on,’ had
a great deal of influence among those
who did not realize that a war against
a doctrine of self government in the
Philippines must react upon us in this
country. We made an honest fight
upon an honest platform, and, having
done our duty as we saw it, we have
nothing to regret.
“We were defeated, but are not dis
couraged. The fight must go on. lam
sure that Republican policies will be re
pudiated by the people when the ten
dency of these policies are fully under
stood. The contest between plutocracy
and Democracy cannot end until one or
the other is completely triumphant.”
Concerning himself, Mr. Bryan said:
“I have come out of the campaign
with perfect health and a clear con
science. I did my utmost to bring suc
cess to the principles for which I stood.
Mr. Stevenson did all that he could;
Senator Jones and the members of the
Democratic, Populist, Silver Republican
and anti-imperialist committees did all
they could. Mr. Hearst and his associ
ates in the club organization put forth
their best efforts.”
WHEELER ON THE ELECTION
Had Warned Party Leaders and Knew
Defeat Was Inevitable.
Decatur, Ala., Nov. 9.—ln an in
terview General Wheeler made the fol
lowing statement relative to the result
of the election:
“It was only what I more than ex
pected; in fact, almost knew. I did not
come up to Decatur to hear any of the
returns Tuesday night. Ido not like to
go to funerals, and I felt that the Dem
ocratic party’s funeral was being held.
I felt it and knew that McKinley would
be overwhelmingly re-elected. I could
have told our people so six months ago,
but what would have been the use.
When I received the telegram calling
me to the Eighth district, I told my
family that I felt like I had received
orders to go to the rescue of a sinking
ship, but that I must obey the call of
my party, which had honored me with
ten terms in congress and must go
aboard the old ship and go down with
her. I told our party leaders in 1898
that if one word was inserted in our
platform against the honor of our coun
try’s flag it would result in the Demo
cratic party’s utter annihilation at the
polls. I was opposed by Bailey of Texas
and he prevailed.”
Continuing in this strain, the general
said:
“There are two things the American
people reverence; first, is their God, and
second, is their flag. A word against
either will bring down their condemna
tion. There never was a president de
feated for re-election who had conduct
ed a successful war. Wars are ponular
in this country and are growing more so
with the masses, and any party that op
poses a successful war president will
meet with defeat.”
Johnston Would Hold Over.
Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 9. The
continued critical illness of Governor
elect Samford is exciting the tenderest
sympathy and the question of who would
succeed him in case of his death, at this
time, is a matter of considerable anxiety
throughout the state. Lawyers differ
widely as to this. Some contend that
Governor Johnson would hold over for
two years longer. Othei s insist that the
president of the senate, who will be
chosen when the body meets next week,
would succeed as governor.
Greene-Gaynor Hearing.
New York, Nov. 9.—The hearing in
the case of J. F., W. T. and E. H. Gay
nor and Benjamin D. Greene, for their
removal to Georgia for trial, was re
sumed today. Colonel John Rutherford,
formerly a contractor in Atlanta, was
called by the defense as the first witness
to show' that the work accomplished by
the defendants was fully in accord with
the specifications.
M’KINLEY CARRIES
NEBRASKA BY 6,000
Full Republican State Ticket
Is Also Elected.
CONTROL OF LEGISLATURE
Returns Indicate That the Republi
cans Will Have a Majority on Joint
Ballot—Kentucky Muddle Still Un
settled—Official Count On.
Omaha, Nov. 9.—Almost complete
returns give McKinley a plurality oi
Nebraska of over 6,000. The Republi
can state ticket is apparently elected by
from 1,500 to 2,000 majority. The Re
publicans elect congressmen in the First
and Second and the fusionists in the
Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth dis
tricts. The legislature, the returns of
which are not yet completed, tvill prob
ably stand:
Senate—Republicans, 16; fusionists,
16; vacant, 1.
House Republicans, 51; fusion
ists, 49.
Lexington, Ky., Nov. 9.—-The can
vassing of the returns of Tuesday’s elec
tion is likely to cause trouble in various
ways and already the court has been in
voked to undo the blunders of election
officers, in the failure of a county clerk
to furnish to election officers duplicate
forms for certifying the returns.
Thus it happens that in several pre
cincts the only official certificate of the
vote is locked up in ballot boxes, which,
under tho law, cannot be opened for six
months. It is possible the whole vote
of the county may be affected.
A mandamus has been granted order
ing the opening of one of the boxes.
The board of election commissioners
met today to canvass the vote.
ALL DEPENDS ON THE COUNT
Republicans Claim Yerkes Was De
feated by Fraud.
Louisville, Nov. 9. Democratic
and Republican headquarters here are
practically deserted, only a clerk or two
being left in each to receive any belated
returns that may come in. Those of the
party leaders still in the city refuse to
alter their claims, the Democrats plac
ing Beckham’s plurality close to 5,000
and the Republicans pinning their faith
on the official count which began in
each county today.
This official count, the Republicans
assert, will bring to the front hundreds
of ballots not yet reported. The unre
ported vote of Casey county, which is
practically conceded to the Republi
cans, and one missing precinct in Met
calfe county, claimed by the Republi
cans by 58 plurality, are expected by
headquarters clerks at almost any mo
ment, but they can have no effect on
the result as the the figures now stand.
Briefly the Democrats say their can
didate for governor stands elected. The
Republicans say if their candidate,
Yerkes, is beaten, it was done by unfair
means.
Republicans Will Contest.
Louisville, Nov. 9. Republican
Chairman Leslie Combs, who was com
pelled by illness to quit his headquarters
yesterday, was somewhat better today
and announced his purpose to contest
the electoral vote of the state and to see
that congressional contests are instituted
by the defeated Republican candidates
in the Third, Ninth and Tenth districts.
Bryan’s Majority In Georgia.
Atlanta, Nov. 9. —Unofficial returns
from all but a few counties indicate a
majority of 45,615 for Bryan. The vote
was one of the lightest ever cast in the
state.
Negro Woman Killed.
Darlington, S. C., Nov. 9. Lida
Burgess, a negro woman, was shot and
instantly killed here by George McFad
din, another negro. Lida and McFad
din had quarreled in the latter’s yard
and as the woman turned to leave Mc-
Faddin shot her in the back. The sheriff
is in pursuit of the murderer with blood
hounds.
Brained by a H orse’s Kick.
Fort White, Fla., Nov. 9.—Tillman
Jordan, 5 years old, was kicked by a
frightened horse and instantly killed.
He was playing along the road and
started to run past the team when one
of the horse# became frightened and
kicked him in the face, knocking him
against a tree, dashing his brains out.
White Man Shoots a Negro.
Tampa, Fla., Nov. 9.—James Mc-
Guire, a white man, had a dispute with
John West, a negro, over a game of
craps and shot him through the collar
bone. McGuire fired three times, only
one bullet taking effect. West will
probably recover.
