THE HEW STATE ELECTIONS.
MRTMl,
WHIIM1M AM THE until

All Have Probably Gene Republican Kx
cept Menfaaa The Hetttrn There In
dicate Victory Fer Demicnit.
The elections In the four new state en
Tuesday have been held, and the voters
have Riven expression te tbelr political
Vlewa. Heautlflil weather was enjoyed
throngheut the Northwest, and the present
Indications are that the vote has been a full
one. The capital tight in Seuth Dakota
and Washington called eat' the few voters
who might otherwise have been classed as
Uy-at-hemera, while the close no of the
stale acted in a similar way In Mentana.
The Sunday school children In Aberdeen,
Seuth Dakota, marched in pnx-ossien dur
ing the day Je influence the vote or the
groblbltien amendment. These towns in
oath Dakota which -were net themselves
capital aspirants were tilled with workers
for the contesting cities.
The two Dakotas had been conceded te
the Republicans early In the day, the elut
te be settled being only as te the majority.
The intenwt In North Dakota was centered,
en prohibition, the friends of which were
hopeful, and the district Judgeships. Alse,
there was much Interest In the 1cglslature
as regards its feelings for or against the
senatorial candidacy of ox-Oevs. Plorce
and Ordway.
, The questions te be decided in Meuth
Dakota were state and legislative elllrcrH,
two congressmen and judges, the adoption
of the constitution, u prohibition clause, a
clause for minority representation in the
Legislature and oil the temporary location
of the state e.pllal.
North Dakota voted for the same, officers,
and also en the constitution and a prohibi
tion ckutse therein.
The length of the tickets causes much do de
la) in collecting returns. At midnight en
Tuesday scattering returns only have bcun
received, but theso Indicnte the election of
the state tickets in the two Dekatas by the
Republicans, and the choice of the majority
of the legislature In the south state by that
rty. In North Dakota the legislature
may be closer.
In Meuth Dakota the quostlen of which
city would win en the vete for the tempor
ary location et the capital has predominated
alt ether issues, it will tnke tin elllcial
count to.dctcrmlne the winner, but it is
conceded new that the victory will belong
by only a, few hundred majority te either
1 In ren Pierre, or Sioux Falls.
The prohibition issue Mas fought
witli a vigor never befere known. Enor Ener Enor
ineus sums of money have been poured in
by the " wets," but It enme a little late and
prohibition will probably carry by a small
but safe majority.
Telegraphic summaries from all sections
from North Dakota indicate that the
Republican ticket will be elected by net
less than tl.OUO, normero than 12,000 ma
jority. There is no capital location tight, and in
test centres in prohibition, the selection of
district judges, and the choice of uiembcrs
of the Legislature, All Legislature nomi
nees that are Instructed, or have expressed
a preference, nre for ex-Gov. I'ioree for
United States senator, but bis official mite
is a very dark horse. A bittui tight is
being waged agninst cx-Clev. Ordway,
with the chances in favor of (ien. Harrison
Allen, or Gov.-eloct Miller us a com cem
nmmlw. In Blsmnrck, Hare, Democratic candi
date for the state Sonate, uud Uellcmbnck,
Democratic candidate for judge, run ahead
of their ticket and are probably elected.
Ex-Secretary M. Ij. McCertnlck is elected
te the state Sonate from the .Sixth dlstiict,
and will lead the Democratic forces in the
state Legislature, and probably get the
party nomination for the United Status
Senate.
A private dispatch from Dickinsen says
that a large vete is being polled in the Bud
Lands. All the cowboys, in Western Da
kota are taking a hand in the election of A.
W. Mcrrifleld, manager of the Roosevelt
ranch. It is bolievod Merritleld w ill win.
The same dispatch says up te neon William
Rea, Democratic candidate for the Senate,
was slightly ahead of N. S. Lawrence, Re
publican. MOMTAKA I'llOIIAIILV IIKMOCHA1IC
If betting is a criterion of what the result
of the first state election in Mentana will
be, the Democrats will have their vutire
ticket elected when the polls close.
At least a quarter of a million is staked
en the result in Helena alone, most of it in
the ratio of ll),(H)0 en Teele, Doinecratio
nominee for governor, te 92,800 en Tower,
Republican candidate. Even money has
been the rule en bets en Mugiunis and
Carter, candidates for Congress, while en
the legislative tickets the Democrats, te
get bets, have been compelled te glve odds
of 2 te 1.
A careful examination of the tcsult shows
the follewing: Teelo will have 1,000
majeritv, Maginuis about :IOO less ; legis
lature "Domecratio by 7 majority. The
Republicans will probably elect the
lieutenant governor, with greater proba
bility of getting In Judge Hlakc, candidate
for justlce of the supreme court.
The Republicans scratched the ticket
badly, while the Democrats voted straight.
The same reports ceme from all ever the
territory.
The election was conducted under the
Australian law, and te the surprlse of
everyone the votes were polled very rap
idly, nearly all voting being done by neon.
The Australian balloting system proved,
sefaras heard from a complete success.
Tlicre were no attempts at illegal voting.
Democrats and Republicans throughout
Washington territory concede that the
oleetloiiwill result in a goueral victory for
the Republican ticket. The legislative
ticket will run much eleser than was at
first supposed, the Republicans claiming a
majority of 15.

Minnkai-ems, Minn., Oct. 2. The Kvc

Aberdeen, Seutii Dakota, te collect and
auinmarize the returns el yesterday's elec
tien in that state and at 10::i0 this morning
he telegraphs as follews: Chairman C. F.
McCoy, of the Republican state central
committee, estimates this morning that the
Republican state ticket Is elected by ubeut
20,000; that prohibition curries by from
10,000 te 15,000 majority ; that Pierre Jus
25,000 votes for the temporary capital with
Huren a geed secend and Sioux Palls
third, with Watcrtewn and .Mitchell in the
tight for fourth place. Pierre will likely
be the temporary capital. The large vete
cast for Pierre surprises everybody. Even
Minnehaha county, of w hlch Sioux Falls is
the county seat, polle.l a large Piorre v te-
PiKHltK, S. D., Oct. 2. Seuth Dakota's
first state election descended te a degrud
lug Bcramhle for the capital location. Thore
has been no light en anything else. Mel
lette, Republican, is elected governor by
ever 20,000 majority. Pieklcrand Giffeid,
Republicans, go te Congress. The Repub
lican majority in the Legislature will be at
Jeast sixty, insuring the election of two
Republican United States senators. The
vote was enormous, piebably 0,000,
and the trade and sale of ballets
was based en the t-.ipl'.iil light. Fer
the capital Pierre, Iluien, Watcitewn,
Chamberlain, Sioux Fall and Mitchell
wcreeutered. The reports recehej upte
this morning indicated a vete for Pierre of
23,000, Huren 21,000, Sioux Falls 11,000,
Wutcrtewn JP,oeo, Mitchell 7,000 and
Chamberlain 5,000. All the nnto-clectlen
talk of fraud proved hut w Ind. The elec
tion was very quiet and se far a reported
no frauds were attempted and no fights
permitted.
Huren has net yet given up the light
but this morning still claims te have se
cured he capital n ntae does Sioux Tails.
Owing te thrgreat Interest in the capital
centcM but little attention was gl en te the
mlr. irl.v r presentation, and It was doubt
less, d8h.ie.i. Tbs fate of prohibition hangs
In the balance. On j squire fight It would
probably have carried, but the vote en
this question were rccklcssly'traded en the
capital location, and the vote, whatever it
Is, wilt ftet fairly represent the sentiments
of the eople of Seuth Dakota.
Return Frem North IMkeU.
Kaheo, N. I,, Oct, 2. The Prohlbl Prehlbl Prohlbl
tlenlsta claltntehavecarrled North Dakota,
but unprejudiced calculators IhjIIove pro
hibition Is beaten by at least 0,000. Farge,
Uhiinarck and Grand Ferks voted strongly
pre-liquor. The Legislature la strongly Re
publican. They elected twenty senators and
Democrats eleven, with one doubtful. Jlie
Republicans get 30 members of the as
sembly, the Democrats IS. Five districts
are in doubt The constitution has been
endorsed with a reusing majority.
At Republican headquarters the entire
state ticket is claimed by from 10,000 te
11,000, while at Democratic headquarters
Chairman Ryan asserts that from the
roert new at hand, official and otherwise,
the Republicans will carry the state, but
tint the majority will net exceed 5,000.
Maratta (Dcui.) for Congress is claimed by
tha Democrats te have been elected, but
definite figures have net yet been received.
Republicans claim the election of liana
borough te Congress.
The situation In Washington.
Shattlk, W. T., Oct 2. Returns from
evor the state Indicate that It la surely Re
publican by about the same majority as
last year, when Allen carried the state for
delegate te Congress by 7,000 majority.
The Legislature Is certainly Republican,
probably by twenty. The ticket is long
and the count Is slew.
Tacoma, W. T., Oct. 2. Weather was
line and a large vete Is reported from all
exer the state. Much scratching retards
thoceuut In the populous districts. The
returns from Thursten, Spokane, Pacific
and Whitman give Republican majeiltics
for Congress and the state ticket. The
count in rieroe and King counties, the two
most populous counties, will net be deter
mined until a late hour te-day. A slight
technical error in the form of the Republi
can tickets in lielli of tbese counties has
raised the question of legality and Demo
crats are making objections. The errors
consists In leaving off the line " against the
constitution," which Is with the ethor
sieclal features directed by the constitution.
DomecrwtM Claim Mentana.
Hulkna, Ment, Oct 2. It is still Im Im
psalblule determine dcllnltely the result
of yesterday's election In Mentana, lieth
committees are claiming the state, but the
general Indications would seem te favor
the Democratic claims. Governer Rati
scr and ether prominent Democrats say they
are sure of the success of their candidates
for governor and Congress, and that they
will also have a majority of the Legislature
The chairman of thoRepubllcan commltteo
says tliut the Republicans will control
both branches of the legislature and that
Carter is olectod te Congress.
A GREAT CHURCH COUNCIL.
Important Questions te Come llumre the
Protestant Episcopal Convention.
The general convention of the Protestant
Episcopal church, which etens at St
Goenro s church. New Yerk, te-day. Is In
seme respects the most iuiiertant that has
ever been held. Of the questions it pro
poses te deal with, the most Important, iu
the opinion of these concerned, ib the pro
posed chnnge of the mede of representa
tion. New each diocese, whatever Its size, casts
ene vete by its clerical representative and
oue vote by its layman. Arkansas, with
hut 1,301 communicants, has the same vot
ing power as New Yerk with Its H,25fl
communicants. It is proposed te substi
tute proportional representation fur this
system of equality of dioceses, se that no
longer It will be posnible, as at preseld, for
twenty-five dlucose with less than 80,000
communicants te outvote the ether twenty
four dioceses with evor 82r,000 communi
cants. .
The revision of the prayer book Is another
liiiHirtant business of llie convention. If
no changes ether than tho'se which have
already letind their, way Inte the prayer
book uud have thus become familiar te
Kpiscepalians generally are adopted, the
revision will be completed by this conven
tion. There is n disposition, however, te
bring the prayer hook still nearer te that
used iu the English church, which may
result In rendering the authorization of
another convention neenssary. The adop
tion of another hymnal is also te ceme
before the convention.
A question which will cause much dis
cussion and probably net a little ill-feeling
will be that of changing the name of the
church. The Inconsistency of the lcssl
Protestant of all the anti-Cathulie com
munions calling itself distinctively " Pro
testant " ns well as " Episcopal " has licen
recognized, while there are seme who ob
ject te tlie designation because of Its implied
opposition te Reme. On the ethor hand,
thore nre these who nre content with the
present title because of Its untl-CnthelIc
character. Various names are proposed.
"The American Church," "The Church Iu
the ruited State' und the "Catholic
Church of America" nre perhaps most dis
cussed. Tlicre being eight representatives from
ouch diocese, four clerical and four lay.
while the missionary districts also send
representatives that have no vote, there are
mere than 400 delegates in the couventlou.
Theso forming the Heuso of Deputies will
sit iu ejien session in St Geerge's church,
while the Heuse of Ulsheps, numbering
slxty-llve, will held secret sessions in St.
Geerge's Memerial hall.

ofilcei'ri still' hat te pieces, and tore all the
buttons irem his vest. Finally Officer Mes-

scarce and did net show up at the station
house until late in the night, when he told

could send word te the authorities.
Peters' story Is that en thought of Sep

ghost, exclaiming: "Me catchoe ene

Some companions of the ghost, who had

found it nocessary te Interfere and save the

TIIK RIOT AT NAVASSA.
The Nwrrecs Rise lu Insurrection
and
Kill Four American Oftleent.
The following particulars of the riot at
Navaasa, en the morning of the 11th ultimo,
have been received by the Navassa Phev
phate company, of Raltimere, from Acting
Superintendent Dr. D. C. Smith!
On the morning of the Itth the negrees
arose in Insurrection and killed four
officers, as follews:
Themas N. Fester, Jeseph Pales, James
Mahen and William T. Shea. We nre at a
less te knew why the negrees took the steps
they did, and had no warning or Intima
tion of such a tiling.
Mr. Reby was first assaulted In the dig
gings, and hit en the head with clubs until
left for dead. He was found In a rock hole
under a let of beards. He was removed te"
the house, and took part In the battle with
the blacks after having thirty stitches taken
in his scalp. He is at present doing well.
At neon tee men congregated In front of
the superintendent's house and refused te
work. When Mr. Jonas hy my direction,
attempted te arrest ene of the rlngleaders
and take a pistol from him which had been
taken from Mr. Reby while unronscleus,ho
was knocked down, and In a few seconds a
hewilmr mob surrounded him. He man-
aired te Bet te the heuse. whs re the ether of-
fleers had sought shelter, through volleys
ei rocks ana ether missiles nurien at nun.
We took refuge in the upper story of the
suiwrlntendeut's heuse and opened fire en
the meb.whlch was new throwing stones
against and into the heuse from evcry di
rection well as sheeting at any one of us
who happened te lie seen by thorn.
That battle lasted about three heurs.witli
an occasional negre wounded, when we
wero startled by the ex plosien of a dynam
ite bomb, which they had thrown en the
lewer perch. This was seen followed by
another, until thorn was a continual rear of
dynamite. Theso bombs wero exploding
around and through the heuse, en the
perches and in the roemsadlolnlngthoono
lu which we had sought shelter. The no ne no
grets wero behiud cars drawn up In front
of Uie heuse, and the trees, tanks and
many buildings near by afforded thorn pro
tection from our occasional shots. We had
buta couple of rounds of ammunition left,
which we were preserving for cltser quar quar
lern, which we knew must Inevitably come.
Shortly after 4 p. m. thev broke lute
the dynamite inagazlne anil get n fresh
supply of dynamite. Uy this tlme the
explosions of dynamite had bceome se fre
quent and uninterrupted, and knowing It
was their Intention te blew us lute eter
nity, we decided te loave the heuse and en
deavor te reach the olllcers' quarter and
make another stand, but we had net gotten
twenty feet away befere thev saw us, aud
attacked us from etcry direction with
axes, knives, rocks, razors and clubs, at
the same uttering fiendish yells that a Co
manche Indian would have envied.
Each man was seen evertaken and dis
armed. Mr. Fester was the first te drop
his weapon a small cat rllle. He was
Immediately butchered 'witli knives and
olher murderous weapons. Mr. Jeseph
Fales was the next victim and was chopped
te pieces with an a,e. after he had surren
dered the woa)en. Peer Rill Sheu, when
lest seen,was within a few feet of the clllfs,
with a number of negrees lu het pursuit,
ene of whom was firing at him with a
revolver. His body has never Imjcii found.
We suppose, after killing hlni, they threw
him overboard.
Theso of us whose lives were Kimrod ewo
otirllvesto the Intervention of friendly
negrees, who hid us iu n little building
until the excitement had somewhat sub
sided, and while they were en'gnged in
looting, robbing and pillaging the build
