Frnnkfort, Ky., Doc. 4. At noon the
Btnte board of election commissioners
to decide whether Goobel or Taylor is
entitled to the certificate of election as
covernor,
Thorn a nnt much nrnhn- '
blllty tlmt the matter will be sottled
today, and It may uo tomorrow or
later bofore a certificate Is Issued.
IJoth sidea oxpresa themselves as con
fident, but no one can predict with ac
curacy the decision which will be ar
rived at by the board. The certified re
turns from the county boards, now on
file with the secretary of state, glvo
Taylor a plurality of 2,435, but tho
Democrats declare that enough of
those votes will bo thrown out and
that Ooebel will be awarded the cer
tificate. The Kentucky election law Is
capable of diversions, and the definite
conclusion of the board will rest very
largely upon how Its members decide
to construe certain portions of the
statute.
The Republicans assert that Inas
much as, accordlnc to tho law, a cer
tificate of election Is due to tho per
son having the largest number of
votes according to the certificates of
the county boards. It will bo Impossible
for the board to do otherwise than re
turn a certificate In favor of Taylor,
he having a majority of 2,435, accord
ing to the certificate now on tile with
the secretary of state. There la a
loophole in the very sections upon
which the Republicans rely, which may
work against them. It Is this: "The
stato board shall be a board for ex
amining and canvassing the returns."
How tho board will construe theword
"examining" Is a matter of doubt.
The same words exactly are used
in defining tho powers of the various
county boards, and under this wording
they have claimed and used the power
of rejecting votes which they believed
were Illegally cast. If the county
boards have this power over precinct
returns why, the Democrats ask, has
not the state board exactly similar
powers over county returns In a pas
sage of the law defining Its powers in
Identical language.
With the certificates of the commls
sioners of Jerferson county giving
Taylor a plurality of 3,442 votes was
filed a mass of evidence that many
of these votes were Illegal, and it li
not among the impossibilities that
the state board may so construe its
powers under the word "examining"
as to declare that it has the power to
reject these votes. If It does Mr
Ooebel eets the certificate. The main
hone of Ooebel Is upon contesting Jef
ferson, which means the city of Louis
ville. Should tho Democrats succeed In
having It thrown out It means the de
feat of Taylor and of every other can
didate upon the Republican ticket.
The Democrats are contesting the
Louisville voto chiefly because of Gov
ernor Bradley's action In ordering the
mllltla under arms and the alleged
presence at tho polls of deputy United
States marshals. They also base their
contest on the fact that Inspectors for
the Brown party forced their way into
the polling booth and usurped the
function of officers of election. Tha
Republicans will claim bofore the ele
tlon commissioners that the claims o!
Intimidation'by the militia and Inter
ference by the United States marshals
are wholly Inadmissible, for the reason
that the militia was held in the armony
until fully three hours after the close
of the polls and that they were at nt
t'mo until long after the polls had
closed present at or near a polling
booth.
As to the marshals. It Is asserted
by the Republicans that not only weie
they too few In number there beln
but 14 In Kentucky all told to be
capable of any Interference, but that
they actually did not In any manner
Interfere with the casting of any vote
either in the city of Louisville or also
where throughout the state. Thej
visited the polls as private cltlzous
only. To offset the claims of intrusion
by the Inspectors for the Brown party
the Republicans claim that If the
claims of the Democrats are correct
the fault lies with the Democratic of
ficials who admitted them. They claim
that the Democrats cannot allege then
own negligence of duty as a reason foi
throwing out Republican votos,
It Is admitted by both sides that
the Democrats have a stronger case io
Jefferson county than anywhere
throughout tho state. If they win
there the other contests may be drop
nod. and If they lose success In alL the
other contests will not mako Ooebel
governor of Kentucky.
Next to the Jefferson county contest
In Importance comes that In Knox
county, which returned a plurality foi
Taylor of 1.385. The contest there li
based upon the allegations that the
Republicans used tissue paper ballots,
by which the secrecy of ballot wa3 de
stroyed. In Johnson county, which
returned a plurality for Taylor of 386,
a similar claim Is made, also In Lewis
county, which gave 850 more votes
for Taylor than for Goebel. The Re
publicans assert that similar ballots
were used by the Democrats In the
counties of Graves, Ballard and Uatli
In which the aggregate plurality for
Ooebel was far In excess of the total
Taylor plurality In the counties ol
Knox, Johnson and Lewis,

Washington, Dec. 4. The annual re
port of tho secretary of the navy Is n
document of unumiRl Interest, dealing
not only with the work of the navy
during the past year and Important
recommendations for the future, but
also dlncusslng the more Important
questions relating to the navy, Includ
ing tho authorization of 18 new war
ships, the Imperative need of special
legislation In the early days of con
gress for armor of the bent quality
tlmt can be obtained, and the proposi
tion that the thiyiks of con grew be
given to the commander-in-chief ot the
North Atlantic squadron and to the of
ficers and men under his command for
tho part they took In the operations
nt Santiago. On this subject the sec
retary says:
"While those engaged In the battle
of Manila have been deservedly re
wardedand no men ever deserved re
ward more richly those who took part
In the operations nt Santiago, Merlay-
ing the same conspicuous conduct and
extraordinary heroism, havo recolved
no recognition whatever for their
great services except me recommonda
tlons for promotion by tho president,
which hnvo elapsed, not having been
acted upon by tho sonnte.
"The department believes it due to
these gallant men to suggest to you
that the thanks of congress bo given
to the commander-ln-chlof of the
North Atlantic squadron and to the of
ficers and men under such command.
The North Atlantic squadron was
charged with groat and exacting
duties. It was a campaign of great
scope and enormous responsibilities,
and was brought to a successful and
glorious consummation, which termi
nated tho war by the destruction of the
Spanish sea power. It was marked
by unsurpassed precision, brilliancy
and vigor."
A table giving naval construction

Washington, Dec. 4. The annual re
port of Postmaster General Charles
Emory Smith was made public last
night. Its chief feature is a plea foi
congressional action to stop tho abus
of second class mall privileges, which
he says results In an annual waste ol
upwards of $20,000,000. The financial
exhibit for the fiscal year shows total
expenditures of $101,032,161 and total
receipts of T95,021,3S1, tho deficiency
being 12,422,747 less than last year.
The postmaster general says In part:
"There are many Improvements and
ndvances waiting development and np'
plication; opportunities for speedlet
transmission and delivery; fields foi
broadening the scope of the mall sor-.
vice and bringing closer home to the
people possibilities of reduced postage,
but above and beneath and beyond all
Is the redemption of the special con
cession which congress granted for
distinct and Justifiable object from the
fungus growths and the flagrant evlla
that have fastened upon It.
"The postal deficit for the current
year is $0,010,776, But for this wrong'
ful application, ot the second class
rate Instead of a deficit there would
be a clear surplus ot many millions.
It Is not now proposed to restrict the
privileges of legitimate publications
or to modify the design of the law,
but only to bring back Its application
to Its original and just scope. It Is
believed that fully one-half of all the
matter mailed as second class, and paid
for at the pound rate, is not properly
second class within the intent of the
law.
"If thero Is to be a favored class, lot
It embrace all the people. With this
class paying properly oven penny post
age, with reasonable limitations, could
be applied to letters without entailing
a deficit larger than that of the last
few years, and possibly with none nt
all."

prepared by the Republican leaden

the time which will be consumed in
the disposition of the Roberta oue tht
drawing of spats, which uaually re

postponed until tomorrow.
The renouncement of Vice rrw

probably after the Roberta cane li
referred to committee, and the houat
will adjourn out of respect to his mem
ory. The drawing of aeata and the
reading of the president a message will
occupy tomorrow.
While the session promises to uc
upon the whole a busy one tn the sen
ate the first week probably will hi
marked by considerable lethargy. In
deed, it would be exceptional It any
actual work should be done. Today
the new senators will be sworn in, but
beyond tins' nothing will- be done.
Ordinarily the president's message Is
recelvPd on the first day of the ses
sion, but its receipt will be postponed
for a day out of respect to the memory
of tho late Vice President Hobart,
In caucus on Saturday the houM
Republicans chose D. 13. Henderson, ol
Iowa, as their candidate for speaker,
Insuring his election, and the Demo
crats selected J. D. Richardson, ol
Tennessee, thus making him the Dem
