At Jachsonlan headquarter It was early
conceded that Moores had carried tho city
by at least i00.
A largo crowd filled the headquarters room
of tho County Democracy all evening and
tha conversation showed that they had
given up hope of carrying the city with the
returns from the flrst dozen precincts to
report.
At 9 o'clock Chairman Gilbert of the com
mlttof paid:
"Tilings might bo looking better, but wo
will toncedo nothing as yet; wo havo mado
gairji In tho Second wnrd and It is too early
to libll the result. We arc ntlll counting the
voo and will continue until tho laBt pre
dict la In."
An effort wan made at 11 o'clock last
light to securo another statement from
Chairman Gilbert of tho democratic com
mittee, but at tho headquarters It was stated
that ho hud sickened of hearing tho returns
and had gono home.
At republican headquarters a crowd of
exuberant republicans congratulated one
another. Chairman Allan wbb particularly
gratified. Tho lleo olllco, too, was overrun
with smiling republicans eager for election
details.

Sclieine,
Ono of tho rcandals of election doy was
tho action of Sheriff Tower In turning tho
sherilt's ofllco Into nn election machine,
operating under control of the democratic
commlttco for tho Intimidation of voters. A
largo number cf special deputies were sworn
In early In the day and tho sheriff Is said
even to have gono so far as to issue com
missions in blank, turning them over to tho
democratic commlttco that It might fill In
the names of cuch deputies as it ailght And
usoful to carry out its plan of Intimidating
and terrorizing voters.
Commissions were thus Issued to notorious
ex-members of tho pollco force, such as
Haze, Slgwart, Keysor, King and even tho
swcet-Bccntcd Charley Fanning was equipped
with full authority to act as a deputy sheriff
In carrying out the schemes concocted by
the Poppicton campaign managers for
frightening Ignorant voters In the lower
wards of the city from exercising tbclr rights
as citizens.
Early In the day a number of these spe
cial deputy sheriffs were stationed In tho
polling places In the lower wards, pretend
ing to have warrants for arresting certain
alleged Illegal voters should they attempt
to vote. Shortly beforo noon warrants wero
issued for tho arrest of a number of theso
deputies, but beforo they wore served Sheriff
rower called upon Chief Donahue and pro
tested against their arrest, threatening to
wear In 1,000 deputies to carry out tho
putpoBC of the dct'perato machine.
Chief Donahue promptly Informed him that
If he attempted to do so he also would swear
In 1,000 special .policemen to -protect tho
Igots of tho voters from this intended in
timidation. Tho warrants Issued for the ar
rest of deputy sheriffs wero not served, as
upon visiting tho polls later Chief Donahijo
discovered that the sheriff had weakened on
his declared resolution of having the spe
cial officers stationed within the polling
places and had directed his men to remain
outside. They claimed to have the names of
somo forty men who had registered unlaw
fully, for whom warrants, It was said, had
been issued, but Instead of hunting up tho
men nnd placing them under arrest they
stood at tho polling places ns regular party
workers.
An effort was made last evening to ascer
tain Just how many Bpeclal deputies Sheriff
Power had placed In this work, something
hitherto unknown In elections In this city,
but when Tho Deo submitted the inquiry to
tho sheriff he absolutely and peremptorily
declined to stato. Ho was aBlted for a list
of tho deputies employed, but declined to
furnish It. Neither would ho furnish The
Dee with a copy of tho oath administered to
them, which Is said In the obligation to otnu
tho mon appointed not to hold the county
responsible for compensation for their serv
ices, but on tho contrary to look to tuo demo
cratlo committee for pay.
Tho great commotion raised by the rakcry
about a large Illegal registration was easily
recognized as tho Initial step In tho demo
cratic conspiracy to carry on a wholesale in
tlmldatlon of republican voters In tho wards
n which laboring men reside, a design un
crrlngly proved by tho fact that nftcr all
tho bluster and bluff only two arrests were
made, one of a man who has been a resident
of tho city and a boarder at tho Windsor
hotel for over a year, and the otner ot a man
who has lived In the clt for about fourteen
vnnrs.
81
This Is the nltlable grist wmcn ll required
the cntlro regular' forco of tho sheriff's of
fice", an unknown number of special aepu
tics and tho united efforts of tho popocratlc
committees nnd their organ to got to mo
mill, Hut, while' fow arrests were mane,
it Is nrcbablo that many Ignorant voters,
not informed ns to their lawful rights, wero
frightened by tho threats of nrrest trom cast

ing their ballots or going near xne pons.

I1EIILLV, March C In tho Prussian DIot
today Haron von Papponhclm brought up tho
case of Prof. Nelsser of Rrcslau, who, he
alleged, had vaccinated persons with ByphlllB
serum, experimentally, In order to establish
immunity.
Tho experiments, ho said, had been made
on adults and children. Ho sharply ar
raigned tho medical profession generally for
xperlmenllns on human subjects, mention
ing the caso of a boy who 'had been killed
as tho result of such practices.
Representative members of all tho other
parties In tho chamber endorsed tho views
expressed by Haron von Pnppcnhelm.
Prof. Vlrchow, however, took tho position
that Prof. Nelsser only went too far In vac-
Inatlng persons without their consent.
Serum therapeutics, he said, would bo Im
possible without experiments upon living
animals, the results ot which, duly estab
lished, must bo nppllcd on man.
Dr. Althoff, director of tho ministry of
education and worship, said Prof. Nelsser's
case was referred to tho state's attorney for
prosecution as soon as tho ministry was In
formed of what ho had done, but after In-
estlgatlon the state's attorney had decided
that tho prosecution was barred by tho
statute, of limitation. Tho matter was then
dropped by him, hut tho ministry of educa
tion nnd worship had Instituted disciplinary
proceedings ngnlnst Prof. Nelsser which
wero not yet finished.
Dr. Studt, minister of education and
worship, Justified tho courso of Uaron von

promised to see that such casea were not

LORD PAUNCEF0TE REMAINS
KiikIInIi Government Derided to
Keep Hie AmliiisHiidor at
WiiNhliiKton.
LONDON, March C 6:07 p. m. The As
sociated Prees learns that the Drltlsh gov
ernment has decided that Lord Pauncefoto
will remain ns ambassador at Washington
ndeflnltoly.
Tho decision to retain Lord Pauncofoto
as Urltlsh minister to tho United States Is
chiefly duo to tho unanimous declarations
of tho Urltlsh press in favor of such a utep,
nnd although Lord Salisbury, previous to
last Friday, had not considered the furthor
prolonging of Lord Paunccfote'H term, he
apparently became so much Impressed with
the strength of tho arguments regarding the
ambassador's acuto knowledge of tho mat
ters pending between 'tho two nations that
ho asked him It ho wero willing to remain.
Lord Pauncefoto replied In tho affirmative.
No definite period was mentioned by
Lord Salisbury, po It Is probable that tho
dean of tho diplomatic corps will not leave
Washington this year, at any rate, at tho
end of which time tho British government
hopes for n settlement of tho various con
troversies. Tho Associated Press is informed that no
communications of any kind havo passed
between the two governments In regard to
liord Pauncefoto nnd that not won any un
official Intimation was given to Lord Salis
bury by any trpureecnfatlvo of tbo United
Stated that Lord Pauncefo'te'e rctontion
would bo .acceptable, (o tho .American ad-,,
ministration.
WASHINGTON, March C Lord Paunce
foto today recolved a cablegram from Lord
Salisbury notifying him that ho would be
continued at this Important diplomatic post
for the present u lpaat. Reference was mado
to tho pendency In the United States senate
of the Hay-Pauncefo(o treaty and of sovernl
open If.buch of great Importance of which
tho present ambassador is bettor fitted to
deal than any ether person by reason of his
perfect familiarity Tho ambassador had
made arrangements to return his family to
Encland March 28. remaining In the United
States for a fortnight longer himself In order
to close up his business affairs. The notifi
cation received today has made a change
ot plans necessary. His family have decided
to remain in tho United States with tho am
bassador during tho spring months at least,
and It will bo somo dato In Juno beforo they
leave.
Just how long this extension of tho am
bassador's term ot office Ib to prevail is not
known positively, but it Is understood that
Lord Pauncefote will remain at tho head of
the embaesy until somo tirao In tho fall. It
is said that such an extension as this, the
third, has only one precedent In the Urltlsh
diplomatic service.
REASON FOR CHOATE'S TRIP

a Dlplomiitlu Move.
(Copyright, 1900, by Press Publishing Co.)
LONDON, March 6. (New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) Ambassador
Choato's Imminent departuro from London
on a prolongod holiday in tho south and
east of EuVopo has excited considerable com
ment in political circles here, where his
projected absence Is regarded ns beleg a
diplomatic move, Inspired "by the rising tide
of sympathy of the United States with tho
Boer republics In the defenso of tbclr inde
pendence.
The war feeling here Is now bo violent and
universal In tho circles where tho ambassa
dor moves that It might easily happen that,
through no fault of his, he might find him
self compromised in n manner that would
react on tho Washington government. Even
the Times' Now York correspondent Is now
forced to admit that Amoricau sympathy
with tho Uoers will constitute a leading fac
tor In tho presidential campaign and that
McKinley can no longer affect to Ignore it.

havo strength to prepare tho noonday meal
for the family."
"While I was drinking coffee I felt so faint
at 11 o'clock that I was unable to proceed
'with the work unless I had lunch. It 1
missed tho 11 o'clock meal, I was attacked
with a severe slckheadac.he.
"My complexion at that time was a sight,
great blotches appearing on my face, and I
was so nervous I could sleep but a fow
minutes at a time, and would wajte In the
morning moro tired than when I went to bed
"Our grocor called my attention one day
to Poetum Cereal Coffee. This wns about
three years ago. I Immediately quit the
uso of coffee and. took up Postum, having It
prepared properly. Tbo chango produced a
remarkable result. In a week or two I was
able to leave off the 11 o'clock lunch and
take my dinner In the regular way with tho
rest of tho family. My blotchy complexion
disappeared and a natural complexion took
Its place. Now I can go from morning until
night without a meal, It I desire, and no
headache or Inconvenience ot any kind ap
pears. I sleep sound as a baby, and my
kidney trouble, which was more than ee
rlous, has entirely disappeared,
A lady friend was recommended to try
postum, and a short time after told me sho
was disgusted with It for It had no taste,
I asked her If sho boiled It carefully fifteen
minutes after the real hubbllng commenced.
Sho said no, and In reply to another ques
tion said she only used one heaping tea
spoonful to the cup, I explained to her that
she must use two heaping teaspoons to the
cup and let It boll long enough. The next
tlmo I saw her she said who used Postum
regularly and liked It very much indeed,
and that It .mado a great chango In her
health nnd the health of one or two mem
bers of her family."
It seems plain, from this experiment, thai
ono Is Justified In tbo Inference that coffee
is an actual poison to many human beings,
nnd sets "up all,eorta of diseases. The rem
edy is plain enough to abandon the coffee
and use Postum Food Coitec,"whlch Is sold
by all grocers at 15c and 25c a package.

WASHINGTON, March C Tho Post to
morrow will say: President McKinley, In
conversation with callers nt tho White
Houso yesterday, reiterated his belief that
tho people of Porto Rico were entitled to
free trade with the United States. He made
It clear that his views had undergone no
chango slr.co he wrote his message to con
gress, lie still adhered to tho sentiment
thoreln expressed. At the snmo time he
said ho was unable to subscribe to tho theory
that the constitution followed the ling; that
tho Porto Rlcans must havo free trade as a
necessary lcgnl right.
When ho found that tho house deemed
It tho part of wisdom, tho president ex
plained, to lmposo a small tariff upon con
dition that the revenues so collected bo re
turned to the Island, he had been constrained
to yield to tho Judgment of tho house, The
tariff, under such conditions, would bo no
hardship to tho Porto Rlcans. Moreover, he
believed it advisable nt tho earliest moment
to securo a decision of tho supremo court on
tho constitutional question Involved. There
fore he had given his consent to tho nom
inal tariff and agreed to sign such a bill. He
left no doubt In tho minds tt his callers
whom ho questioned closely regarding the
drift of public sentiment that congress,
not tho executive, was responsible for the
chango of policy.

ST. PAUL, Minn., March 6. Governor
Llnd today removed Frank Metcalf from tho
office of register of deeds of Hennppln

for raalfeaoance.
This action was tho result of a legal Inves

The loss of a deed and the secret substitu
