Ohio Contest Not Nettled. COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 5.—Tho con test for conlrol of the legislature wll likely he carried Into the courts. Thi official returns of about one-fourth o the eighty-eight counties have been re celved by the secretary of state. T< the returns of close counties protest! have been made. It Is proposed now t( prevent the Issue of certificates of elec tlon to certain legislative candldatei If ttie courts will so order. Today in terest centers in the official counting at Howling flreen of the vote of Woo< county. The republican plurality li that county for representative was re duced yesterday to twenty-eight, am today Is annonneed as twenty-five. Thi democrats claim the representative bj a plurality of five. Including Worn county's representative the republic ans claim the legislature by seventy five to seventy. If Wood county shoulr finally be put In the democratic list by. the official figures, the legislatun would stand seventy-four republican) to seventy-one democrats. While thli Is a mathematical majority of three It Is a constitutional surplus of onlj one. It requires seventy-three votes, or i majority of all the 146 members, tf elect a senator on Joint ballot. Witt only seventy-four representatives it the legislature, the death of a repub llcan member or a republican vocancj from any cause would leave the ban majority, and If Wood county sbouk elect a democratic representative then would no doubt be startling develop meins at once in ai lease iwo owii i counties. The proposed legal proceed ings are believed to be In statu iju< waiting the completion of the ofltcla canvass of the vote In Wood county There are ten counties In the state thal give a plurality each of less than 10( on their respective legislative candl dates, and of these close counties th< parties are almost equally the bene notaries. The republicans claim thi following pluralities In three count lei that have lieen most hotly contested Delaware, 29; Noble. 85; Wood, 25 This Is a total of 139 plurality for rep resentatives In the three counties. A change of seventy votes properly dis tributed would have changed the Ohio legislature to seventy-three democrat! and seventy-two republicans, and per haps have changed the political com plexion of the United States senate, II Is what Is at stake as well as the dorc shave that causes the managers ol both parties to fight It out with every possible effort that can lie made. There were over one million vote! cast In Ohio last year, and It was e» tlmated that there were 900,000 votei cast last Tuesday, of which the decid ing seventy votes In an Infinitesimal per cent. In Hocking and Vinton coun ties the democrats elect their repre sentative by a plurality of seventy-five and by about the same plurality In Van Wert county, while In Summit county the democrats elect two rep resentatives on pluralities that arc said to tie as dose as those of Wood and Delaware counties. The republic ans assert that a change In less than 200 votes would give them four more representatives In the counties of Sum mit, Van Wert. Hocking and Vinton. The only trouble reported from the boards making the official returns yes terday was In Noble and Wood coun ties, and those were simply animated discussions. These official counts arc proceeding In the same counties to day. No disturbances are apprehend ed anywhere, but both sides will fight to a finish before the returning board then In the courts and finally in the organization of the legislature. Since the republican plurality on the state ticket has approached 29,000, no In terest. Is taken In those returns. Hon. Charles R. Kurtz, who was chairman of the republican state com mittee In 1890 and 1895. says there Is nothing whatever In the talk aooul certain republican members of the leg islature combining with the democrat! to elect Governor Bushnell or any other man senator In place of Senator | Hanna, who was endorsed by the las' republican state convention for both the Hhort andthe full terms for sena tor. Mr. Kurtz says no republican member could afford to bolt the cau cus nomination, and be does not be j could be found who would go Into such i a combine. As Chairman Kurtz war i defeated for re-election as chairman l>> l Senator Hanna and admits he is un ! friendly to the senator himself, thb statement I* believed to lie the last that will he heard of the comldni against Hanna us the republican sen atorial nominee. • "» .. n>. •« WASHINGTON.

IS.—'The full text of the Spanish reply to the note of United States Minister Woodford has reached the State department In the last mall and is now under exma lnation by the officials. So far as can he learned It is not the intention of the administration to give It publicity now, so that the Interest of the people must be satisfied at present with tne more or less official statements ema nating from Madrid as to the charsr I ter of the Spanish note. It Is expect ed that the president will make this note and the correspondence leading up to it the basis for one of the tpost Important chapters of his forthcoming message to congress upon the reassem bling of that body In December next, and meanwhile It is not believed to he probable that any radical change In policy will characterize the correspon dence between the two countries un less something unforeseen occurs. It appears that the determination of the Spanish cabinet to court-martial General Weylcr, while not directly due to a request of this government, was probably Inspired by an Information from the State department that his ut terances were not calculated to smooth the way of negotiations. Tt is sur mised that by thus acting with prompt ness the Spanish cabinet has paved the way for a counter remonstrance against the publications of ex-Unlted States Minister Hannls Taylor. The condition in the two cases have been said at the State department to he en tirely different. General Weyler being a Spanish army officer Is amenable to discipline for un Interference with the policy of the government, while Mr. Taylor, being a private citizen, is not accountable to his government In his Individual utterances.

CHICAGO, Nov. 6.—The supreme court of this city has Just handed down a decision of great Importance to Insurance men all over the coun try. The state of Illinois has a law that insurance under the Lloyds' plan rr.ay not be transacted in the state of Illinois. John A. Barnes, who issued policies In various Lloyds not au thorized by the state Insurance de partment, was fined $500 and he went to the courts, represented by Attor ney Myron H. Beach, of Chicago. The supreme rourt has decided that Lloyds may transact business in the state and that the law which seeks to prevent them from so doing Is unconstitu tional. This throws the doors wide open to Insurance men from other states whom Illinois has tried to keep out, as the court says that wh -t -4tjg been granted to citizens of Illinois j not be denied to others.

Iowa Patent Office, Lies Moines, Oct. 27, 1SH7.—In view of the numerous pat ents granted for what appears to some as trivial change* In well known arts the following is of general Interest^ "Whenever In art. machine, manu facture or composition of matter a change, however apparently minute, is made which Is not obvious and results in marked advantage, a patentabls In vention has been produced.’’ Kx Commissioner Blmonds. "Simplic ity in change of construction doe* not negative patentability when tbe change produced a new and bene ficial result never before attained." Judge Coxe. "If the Invention is not frivolous or prejudicial to the public and has any degree of usefulness, no matter how slight the practical utility, then with in tbe meaning of the law It is useful and may be patented." Commissioner Butterworth. "Attorneys have been disappointed often in the out come of the most promising inventions; I have been so many times astounded at fortunes made from Inventions for which I would not have given 16 cents, that'I knowastomy own foresight, and fully believe as to that of every attorney, that it Is of little worth and at best a mere guess.” A.
