The otlklal count on the constitutional
amendments shows that all were carried In
Uougla * count ) Tim total number of
\otes cast an ibotvn by the poll books of all
tbo voting districts In the county was
'i 435 A majority of thin vote U 12718
If this number was the standard b ) which
tbo atueuJmeuts were to stand or fall there
would only be three amendments In the
entire list which would hsvp passed the or
deal safely In this county , xlz The
amendment relating to the number of Judges
of the supreme court and their term of office ,
the one relating to trial by jury and
tbe one providing for the Investment of the
permanent educational funds of the state
Thexo were the only amendments receiving
a majority of all the- votes cast at the elec
tion nut the law provides that In de
termining whether the amendments have
passed the vote cast for senators and repre
sentatives In the legislature shall be taken
as the test The count ) canvassing board
therefore took the total vote cast for all the
candidates for state senators and divided the
sum by three , the sum of the votes cast for
representatives was divided by nine , and
the sufii of these two quotients was then
divided by two and the majority of the
figure thus obtained was made the standard
The total vote cast for senators and repre
sentatives was thus found to be 22 SOS. of
which a majorlt ) Is 11 105 Every one of
the amendments received more than the re
quired number of votes , the first one re
ceiving the highest vo'e , 13405. and the
tenth proposition , relating to the merging
of the governments of cities and counties ,
receiving the lowest vote. 12,433.

The prellmlnar ) hearing of Fcetcr Lewis
named as co-defendant with Campbell , and
charged with killing James McGuIre , has
been eel for this afternoon at 2 o'clock
It Is more tban probable , however , tbat with
the publication of this fact the hearing
will not occur then , but will be continued
to Fome other time
The police seem to be laboring under the
Impression that some of the dead man's
friends will attempt to do harm to Lewis ,
although there appears to be no evidence to
Indicate that he had an ) thing to do direct ! )
with the Killing. Nevertheless the au
thorities have been endeavoring to throw a
cloud of mster ) about the proceedings
and have exhibited remarkable care in lookIng -
Ing after the prisoners
Immediately after the arrest of Lewis
and Campbell they .were taken to the peni
tentiary at Lincoln on account of a fear
of Inetting that p corned to not have a
pirilcle of foundation The ) were brought
back to this city on tbp morning of the da )
on which the ) were arraigned Campbell
walvd e\an Icatlon , and Lewis' hearing was
set for Thursday morning at 9 o'clock. He-
fore that time arrived and when reporters
of the dally papers were not about , the time
was changexl to 3 o'clock In the afternoon
When that fact was published In The Dee
Wednesday night the police were disturbed
and Thursday the time of the hearing was
again chirgcd This waa done again when
the court room was clear and there * were no
repor.ers about The complaint was taken
from the flies and concealed and the officers
rc'fuscd to tell the time of the examination
The > time set was 2 o clock this after
roon but It Is not at all Improbable that
It will be cb&r.ged again , since It has become
known.

a ticket especially designed to prevent the
successful operations of ticket counterfeiters
It H known as the "Sebastian Improved
Coupon Ticket" It Is of double the width
of an ordinary ticket and contains a dupli
cate of the ticket sold to the purchaser
The duplicate is punched in the same places
as the original ticket and at the same time ,
and Is in ever ) way an exact counterpart
of the ticket tbat Is to secure the desired
transportation Tbe duplicate is sent 10
the auditor of the road , the various stubs
being separated and each sent to the auditor
of the road over which the corresponding
part of the original ticket called for trans
portation It Is thought by this means to
detect the operations of a counterfeiting

A gentleman conversant with all sides of
the controversy today said "There Is no

dinal Gibbons as without basis of fact In i
the first place , everbody knows that Car
dinal Gibbon ! ) has been aloof from entanglo-

The cardinals attitude has alwas been
that of the peacemaker Largely through ;
his efforta much friction has been allajcJ
on many occasions known only within
ecclesiastical circles and th pope Is credited < 1
with an excellent incmor ) The allegation >
that It Is proposed lo force upon tbe car
dinal a coadjutor of the opposite school
Is equally absurd. If ono stops to consider
thu matter for a moment be must see how
Impossible It Is and bow Irreconcilable with
that other xtuttmcnt In thu dlspatcU that
'he < will not bo removed from his see ' Why ,
the very act of appointing n coadjutor y.to
the ordinary of any diocese at variance with
the policy of the latter would Itself bo vir
tual removal , for no man of any self re
spect could remain under such circum
stances Coadjutors are not appointed unless
at the request of the bishop himself and
then the appointee U of his own choice ,
or where he Is Inrapaclated , uu In the case !
of the late \rchblshop Kendrlck of St Louis
"Ily the way " continued the gentlman ,
"tho appointment of lr ) Thomas , who U

The War department has called on the
leadltiK trunk Hue roado running to Key
We t , New- Orleans and the other gulf ports
for an Immediate statement of their ca-
paclt ) to move troops ) , supplies and heavy
war material
The Information demanded Is complete to
the most minute detail , and embraces such
questions as "If > ou arc re-qulrcd to move
6.000 troopa over ) our lines , with necessary
equipment and supplies , how long after
notification will ) oti require to perform

WASHINGTON , Nov 13 Concerning the
report coming from the west to the effect
that the War department berAUr of pen-
tflblo trouble with Spain , had been making
Inquiries of trunk line railroads running to
the Gulf const and along the couthcrn sea
board ai to their facilities for moving war
Kitpplles , It can be stated that the only
Inquiry made within the pHt ) ear by the
War department on thin subject was ono
Intended to ascrrtaln the cost of executing
the order made about lx wee-ks ago by the
sccretar ) of war looking to tno annual ex-
changn of stations of troops
A regiment of troops In California and fur
ther north on the Pacific coast vva oidcred
to exchange stations with troops that had
been serving In the east and In Florida
and the qiiartc > rmastcr s department took
ateps to ascertain In tdvance > the coot of
the proposed movement In order to make
diire that it would be within the available
appropriation for movements of troops Of
course , this had no warlike purpose what
ever , for tbe hainc number of troops that
were added to the Ikparttnent of the Hast
were carried west to take their Btntlon In
the Departments of California and Columbia
A Hat denial Is also given by the best
authorlt ) to another bcnsntlonal story to
the effect that the State department has
warmd Spain against further outrageous
treatment of American commercial agencies
doing business with Cuba It Is sild tbat
owing to radical organic differences In the
sjrftcm of customs collections pursued by
Spain and by the United States , and the
absence from the PpniNh sstem of what
are known In this country as post Invoice * ,
American shipping has been more or le-fa
embarrassrd b ) detentions growing out of
failure to observe technical requirements
of the Cuban ruitom n } tcin Rut this ban
been the case for ) ears past and It Is said
that nothing has happened recently to cause
any strain of the relation * between the two
governments on this score.
