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

statement I* believed to lie the last
that will he heard of the comldni
against Hanna us the republican sen

OMAHA. Nov. 6.—The many railroad
officials and financiers attracted to
Omaha during the early part of tne
week by the foreclosure sale or tne
Union Pacific have nearly all gone. The
receivers are In St. Louis with Presi
dent 8. H. H. Uiark. The members of
the reorganization committee have re
turned to New York City and General
Manager Dickinson and Freight 1 rar
l'c Manage1- Mon oe are 'n C' icago in
consultation with representatives of
other western lines on traffic matters.
At the local headquarters and e.se
where in railway circles there is con
siderable talk about the reorganiza
tion hut absolutely nothing hac been
given out either officially or unoffi
cially, that may be taken as outlining
the policy of the reorganization com
pany or naming Its officers. It in un
derstood that the election of officers
will take place at New York or Boston
some time within the next sixty days.
The lc'ief is general that 6. H- H,
dark will be offered the presidency.
Whether he will feel equal to under
taking the tremendous Job of rcirgtR*
Izlpg the Union Pacific Is a tnuch-d.s
cusscd question, with nothing to throw
light on Its probable solution. It was
rumored Wednesday that a represen
tative of the reorganization committee
hail gone to 8t. Louis to offer the pres
idency to Mr. Clark, but It Is not gen
erally believed.
The vi it of President C. Meilen,
of the Northern Pacific, here during
the early part of the week and his in
tercourse with the members of the re
organization committee while here has
led lo ilie report that he Is seek ;ig
' the presidency of the Union Pai Ulc.
Tills rm tor has been most persistently
circulated within the past two days,
hut Is generally regarded as without
foundation. ICven were It true, the
men most conversant with Union Pa
cific affairs declare that Mr. Meilen Is
In no danger of being called upon to
neoui/ln fill r the* lifflllrw lit t.hf* rfOTKlin*
(zed Union Pacific an chief executive.
Mr. Mellen was recently selected as a
compromise president for the Northern
Pacific, resigning the position of sec
ond vice president of the New York.
New Haven & Hartford railroad to ac
cept It. Formerly he was traffic man
aegr of the Union Pacific and is fa
miliar with the business of the “Over
land Route.”
One hears the name of Edward Dick
inson mentioned more and more fre
quently In connection with the Union
Pacific, should 8. H. H. Clark not be
the man. The other names than have
already been mentioned. Including
! William H. Truesdale, general man
ager and third vice president of the
Rock Island; Edwin Winter, former
president of the Northern Pacific, and
Oliver W. Mink, second vice president
and comptroller of the Union Pacific,
are still heard, though now only oc
casionally.
SPAIN’S REPLY.
A rail Test Thereof to the State De
pirtmpnt
WASHINGTON, Nov. 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.

Important Insurance Derision.
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. 'PPP

Simple Inventionssre Pntentnble.
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. P. Greeley, Asst.
Com. of Patents.
