Attorney General Thompson. In reply to an
Inquiry frorii' Gaga oounty, held yesterday
morning that It Is proper and legal for-tha
canvassing boards to open tha ballot boxes
and recount tha ballots whan a recount Is
demanded and tha proper affidavits art
filed. Several county attorney have held
that the county canvassing boards have
.' no authority to open the ballot boxes and
count tha ballots untU ordered to do so
by the court Tha attorney general holds
further that after the recount Is made It
i- i he duty of the canvassing boards to
transmit to the state canvassing board tha
figures as shown by the recount.
Tha opinion of Attorney General Thomp
son declaring that If an affidavit la filed
(demanding 't, a recount must be made in
iany or all counties, will probably causa a
complete recanvass of tha votes cast In tha
last primary.
Mayor Jim. sura of his nomination as It
stands, after hearing of tha attorney gen-
: Aral's opinion, said bo would not push the
.matter unless he was foroed to, but If Oov-
arnor SbjUenherger insists upon his recount
In a fe' oountiea Mayor Jim will coma
fcsck with his former demtna for a com
plete recanvass. Ninety-two affidavits
have already been issued from the Dahl
man headquarters, one to each eounty in
tha state, asking that tho vote be gone
over again and If the attorney general is
followed the county boards will all have
ao turn In new or verified figures.
'' raw Change to Fa.
" Thougn , somewhat abated owing to the
first news reoeived from Butler and Cass
oountiea, interest In tha recount of the
primary ballots Instituted by Governor
Shellenberger, was reported intense around
tha eeexutive offiss al Lincoln. During
' tha day tha governor received word that
tha recount In Butler county had resulted
In a net gain for Dahl man of one vote,
while Shalleaberger gained three rotas in
Cass county. i

attorneys, friendly to tha governor have
declared that no vote will be changed ex
tent OA governor, Dahlman and Shallen-
berger.
Because numerous eounty attorneys held
that scanty canvaealng , boards had no
right to open tha ballots and count them,
. tha governor asked the attorney general
for an opinion on the question. Tha at
torney general had already reoeived a let
ter from tha oounty clerk of Gaga oounty
on tha, same matter, so ha transmitted a
".copy of the letor to me ciers io iu
governor.
Attorney General Thompson, In answer to
an Inquiry from the oounty attorney of
Otoe oounty, has held that parties writing
In the name on a ballot, when tha name
klready appears on another ballot doea not
fvitlate the entire ballot. The oanvasslng

TOKIO. Aug. 24.-The text of the conVen
'Jon under which Korea is annexed to Japan
was communicated at 11 o'clock thla morn
ing to the representatives of the powers.
, Tho document which, according to now
established facts, was signed August 22,
will be effective when officially promul
gated. Tbl will be, according, to some of
the ministers, August !s, or August so, when
the independent existence of the hermit
kingdom, the struggle for ' Whose " fcontrol
started the Riisso:J.apanese war, will cease.
Baron Hlrata. minister . of ' the interior,
summoned the proprietors of all the Jap
anese newspapers to his cabinet today and
requested them to publish no unauthorative
Information regarding the situation in
Korea. He pointed out that such' publica
tion under existing conditions would only
make tho task of the Japanese government
mote difficult.
The newspapers agreed to his wishe and
nothing regarding the annexation, beyond
official atatementa will be published here
before the publication of tha promulgation
of the convention.
The Japanese government, which already
has a largs number of representatives in
Korea, will be prepared to take over the
machinery of administration In Korea with
out delay.
Considerable uneasiness I reported at
Seoul owing to the circulation of threats
of disorder following the annexation. These
emanate, according to the view taken here,
from malcontents who. have not received
ths consideration whloh they think their
due in the provision made by the conven
tion for the future of the Korean royal
family, noble -and official.
Sporadic outbreaks in protest against ths
absorption of Korea by Japan are antici
pated, but serious rioting or even wide
spread objection from the Koreans to the
annexation are not expected.

life no longer threatened, the flra fighter
ar able to wage war directly upon great
fire masses In the woods. Th most dls
agieeable new today cams from Sand
Point Idaho, to the effect that the flra
at tha upper edge of Fend d'Orellle lake
