ft CLOSE RACE IN KENTUCKY.
IT IS NOT YET KNOWN WHICH SII>B i
IS THE WINNER.
Tn.lor People Claim the Election ly
a Majority of 4,l36—Goebel De
elare-H That He W* Elected and
There Will Ben Contest—Hoard ot
Election Commissioner* and Lcr
lslnture Are Both Democratic—An
tl>(ioebel Meeting Held.
Louisville, Ky., Nov. 9.—A confusion ot
claims and counter-claims, to quiet which
tin official count or perhaps a contest be
fore the Legisloture will be necessary, Is
all that is left of Tuesday’s election.
Above it all vehement cries of fraud,
committed or contemplated, are beard.
Each side claims the election of its ticket
by a plurality of about 4,000 and presents
figures in back U P the c| aim. These fig
ures in some counties vary widely, and It
is impossible to tell which side, if either,
has accurate returns. Chairman Long of
tiie Republican Campaign Committee,
when asked for an estimate of the vote on
the gubernatorial race, said:
"I have no estimate to give, but I can
furnish ihe actual figures. On the face of
the returns Taylor's plurality is 4,136. All
of the precincts hove been heard from.
Twelve counties are not official, Includ
ing the returns from Kenton and Breath
itt."
Gen. Taylor said he was sure of his
election by a majority that will not Ire
less than 4,000. Gen, Taylor said that of
ficial und semi-official returns from near
ly every precinct in the state showed that
tie hod been elected.
A special from Frankfort quotes Gov.
Bradley as saying:
"Taylor has been elected by at least 10,-
000 majority, and he will be the next Gov
ernor of Kentucky.’.’
The county returning boards will meet
in all ihe counties to-morroiv to canvass
Ihe returns, and until then the result of
Tuesday’s election will be in doubt. Both
skies are charging fraud.
Gov. Bradley is being telegraphed by
hundreds of Republicans offering to come
to ihe state capital to prevent Taylor be
ing counted out.
Charges of Framl Made.
Chairman Young of the Democratic State
Central Committee, charges the Republi
can with attempting lo perpetrate fraud
In the mountain districts, where the heavy
Repitblicair vote lies. Young says the of
ficial, count by county returning boatds
wi.l give Goebel over 4,000. lie also says
all minor candidates on the state ticket
vl'l win, though by less pluralities than
Goebel.
Cnalor Go bcl received the follorXing
t> f rram fo-hight from William Jennings
Bryan:
"Have just learnt and that returns are near
enough complete to Insure your election,
congratulations. I am sure your adminis
trati-.n will strength*n the party.”
Returns from Democratic sources show
a plurality on the face of returns of about
for Goebel. Mr. Goebel and Senator
Blackburn, in Interviews at Frankfort to
day. openly charged the Republicans with
fraud in the Eleventh district from which
tire returns are coming in very slowly.
The indications point more strongly than
ever to a contest before the Legislature,
which, there is no reasonable doubt, will
K controlled by the Democrats.
Whether or not the members belonging
to that party will stand together on ques
tions affecting a contest cannot now be
foretold. The county boatds of canvassers,
which meet to-morrow, simply count and
tabulate the returns. The State Board of
Flection Commissioners thin ieviewsjheir
work and decides all questions affecting
contested ballots. Tilts commission cer
tifit's to the Secretary of State the election
of officers receiving the highest number
of voles after the decisions of the com
missioners on contested returns haft- been
recorded.
Intler tlie Goebel Law.
Tinder the Gdebel law, the duties of the
seciYUiry of state are confined simply to
making public the result as found by the
commissioners, the language of the stat
ute being:
"It shall be the duty of the secretary
of state immediately after the comparison
of the returns to cause a statement there
from of the votes given in every county
fo! cii candidate to be published In two
new. papers.”
TANARUS: i re is no appeal from the findings of
'la State Board of Election Commissioners
ex "d>t in the case of Governor and Lieu
tenant Governor. In cage of a contest
for these offices the matter goes to the
F( i-lature. The three members of the

LACK OF NEAVS DISQUIETING.
Buller’s Army Corps Will Soon Be
gin to Move on Ladysmith.
London, Nov. 10, 4:30 a. m.—The scanty
and conflicting news from the seat of war
and the fact that Gen. White has not yet
said a word about the alleged fighting
around Ladysmith, are again producing
a feeling of gloom.
It may be that Gen. White has sent news
and that Gen-. Buller has thought best lo
keep it to himself. Indeed, this is the
version that is beginning to be believed,
as it is held to be impossible that the
news of heavy fighting brought by Kaf
firs in such circumstantial detail can be
wholly groundless. If this be so it is om
inous, for there could be no ground for
concealing favorable news.
It cannot be long, however, before a
change occurs. Gen. Buller's forces will
soon arrive at Durban, and will prolwbly
begin the advance 4o the relief of Lady
smith about Nov, 15. Orders have been
received at Woolwich and Devonport for
the mobilization of a siege train, which it
is supposed is intended for the purpose of
shelling Pretoria. The manning it will
approximate to the strength of eight bat
teries, and will consist of thirty-two of
ficers and 1,104 non-commissioned officers
and men. Its armament will be thirty
Howitzers, fourteen 6-inch guns, eight 5-
lnch guns and eight 4-inch guns, the whole
train weighing over 3,000 tons. This will
be the first employment of a modernized
siege train by any European army, and
the progress of the reduction of the forts
by lyddite shell fire, a preliminary to
storming by infantry, will be watched
with interest and curiosity by all profes
sional soldiers.
ALL IJ WELL AT KIMBERLEY.
Wonnded at Ladysmith Put Out of
the Way of Rombarilment.
London, Nov. 9.—’Hie war office has re
ceived the following dispatch from Gen.
Duller, dated Cape Town, "Wednesday,
Nov. 8, 11:50 p. m.:
“Col. Kekewich telegraphs from Kim
berley, Nov. 5, that all is well there, and
that there has been no serious attack as

Ladysmith have been removed four miles
down the railroad by an arrangement with
Gen. Joubert, to a neutral place to save
them from the bombardment.

War Hus Done Great Damage in the
Orange Free Slate.
London, Nov. 9.—A special from Queens
town, dated Monday, Nov. 6, says:
"The railroad within the Free State is
completely wrecked. It is estimated that
it will take six months to repair the dam
age already done in South Africa, and
the army will hardly be able to use the
railway any more than in 1881.”
The colonial office has received a tele
gram from the Governor of Natal, giving
a copy of ihe pigeon-post message receiv
ed bv the premier from the commandant
of volunteers. It is as follows:
‘"Ladysmith, TuesdAy, Nov. 7.—1 sent

Atlanta. Nov. 9.—ln order to stave off
the consideration of the Willingham pro
hibition bill to-day, the opponents of the
measure resorted to dilatory tastics that
consumed the entire session from the
reading of the journal until the hour of ad
journment at 1 o’clock, and for the last
ten minutes of the session Mr. Brandon of
Fulton held the floor on a motion, to ad
journ until 3 o'clock, when the House was
adjourned by limitation.
To describe the scenes enacted to-day as
farcical is only putting it mildly. There
were motions and counter motions, points
of order that created more disorder; ques
tions of personal and collective privileges,
all sorts of fantastical motions, and reso
lutions, and an interminable call for the
ayes and nays.
It was surprising the number of mem
bers that wanted the requisite three min
utes to explain their votes when all the
parliamentary aids would be exhausted
and a roll cal! finally begun.
It look fully a half hour before the
drift of things dawned on the prohibition
cohorts and then Mr. Willingham, In a
spirit of retaliation, moved to adjourn, on
which the ever-ready filibusters called for
the ayes and nays, and when Mr. Will
ingham sought to withdraw his motion, a
chorus of objections greeted the request.
Speaker Pro Tem. Blalock appealed to the
members in vain.
Messrs. Hardwick of Washington and
Johnson of Bartow spoke to the circum
ambient air when they declared that the
action of the House was a shame on the
state of Georgia. Although Mr. Johnson
declared the members were acting more
like pigmies than men, the filibusters kept
filibustering, and the Speaker pro tem. got
visibly madder and rapped the harder with
his gavel, but all to no avail. The Speak
er pro tem. had said that the prohibition
bill would be considered to-day and the
filibusters decreed that It should not, ai(d
the filibusters carried the day.
Wilcox Court House BUI.
Innocently enough, Mr. Moore of Carroll,
and Mr. Moore was very much In earnest
about what he did, moved to reconsider
the action of the House yesterday in de
feating the bill to remove ihe Court
House from Abbeville to Rochelle. He
made a very calm, cogent speech in favor
of his motion, and sat down. Mr. Sloan
of Hall made an impassioned speech
against the motion. Very attentively the
members listened and when he eat down,
Mr. Johnson of Bartow called for the pre
vious question, and on that Mr. Rose of
Camden called for the ayes and nays,
which was sustained. Then Mr. Overstreet
of Striven moved to table the motion to
reconsider, and on that Mr. Slaton of Ful
ton called for the ayes and nays, which
was also sustained, and then Mr. Willing
ham got mad and moved to adjourn, and
on that Mr. Mitchell of Thomas called for
the ayes and nays, which was likewise
sustained, the House having three separate
aye and nay votes before the matter was
effectually disposed of, an hour and a half
of the two and a half hours of the session
remaining. Then the filibusters adopted
new tactics to help fritter away the preci
ous moments, and all sorts of freak mo
tions and points or order were instituted.
Speaker Pro Tem Blalock looked a per
fect picture of despair. Mr. Wil Ingham
did not try to disguise his disgust. Mr.
Tatum of Dade asked leave of absence
for the members in the rear of the hall
because they could not hear. Mr. Morris
wanted to declare the session non dies nnd
deduct the pay of the member, but he was
all by his “lonesome.” Motions of a triv
ial nature were put viva voce, and diclir
ed lost, the speaker ignoring ca s for
division.
After much delay the roll was called on
the motion to adjourn and it was ’o-t The
speaker then sustained a point of rrder by
Mr. Alien of Baldwin that a motion to re
consider could not: be laid on the table, and
that the vote would recur on the motion
of Mr. Moore of Carroll to i consider. Mr.
Overstreet of Screven appeael ton the
decision of the chair, which was 1 st on
aye and nay vote of 137 to 6. Only five
stalwarts exhibiting the nerve to go on
record with Mr. Overstreet.
Finally at 12:30 p. m.. the vote was had
on the original motion and reconsideration
carried by a vote of 80 to 64. The remain
ing half hour of the session was taken up
in dilatory tactics on the motion so ad
journ until 3 o’clock in the afternoon.

Washington. Nov. 9.—Admiral Georg?
Dewey and Mrs. Mildred M. Hazen were
quietly married at the rectory of St. Paul’s
Catholic Church on V street, near Fif
teenth, in this city, shortly before 10
o’clock this morning.
The ceremony was performed by tho
Rev. James F. Mackin, pastor of tho
church, assisted by Rev. Joseph 11. Foley,
assistant pastor, and Rev. Sidney Hurl
but. The ceremony was of the simplest
character, according to the rites of ihe
Catholic Church,and theonly witnesses be
side Ihe officiating clergyman, were Mrs.
Washington Moljeati and Mis. Ludlow,
wife of Gen. Ludlow, mother and sister,
respectively, of the. bride, and Lieut. Cald
well, Admiral Dewey's secretary.
The arrangements for the wedding were
made with all the secrecy which has at
tended the whole affair. After procuring
the license for the wed ling yesterday.
IJeut. Caldwell called upon Falher Mack-
In of Si. Paul's, of which church Mrs.
Hazeo Is a communicant, and arranged
for the wedding this morning.
As Admiral Dewey Is not a Catholic, a
specie 1 dispensation was required for tho
performance of the ceremony, and th s
was procured by Father Maekln from
from Bishop Curtis, vicar general of the
Diocese ot Baltimore, who granted it In
the absence of Cardinal Glbbods, who Is
at present in New Orleans. Father Mackin
went to Baltimore for this purpose yester
day afternoon.
Public Had No Notice.
At 9:45 o’clock this morning two car
rlugcs containing the wedding party drew
up before ttio modest brick rectory In the
rear of St. Paul’s. Tho general public
had no Intimation of where the ceremony
was to take place and not a single specta
tor was present as the party alighted. Ad
miral Dewey and Lieut. Caldwell quickly
stepped from their carriages and the A*F
mlral assisted the bride-elect and her
mother and sister from the other carriage.
Mrs. Hazen was gowned in u pearl gray
silk, over which she wore a long stylish
black wrap trimmed with silver fox and
lined with lavender silk.
The Admiral wore a black frock eont,
gray trousers and a silk hat. Upon enter
ing the rectory they were ushered Into the
reception room, where Admiral Dewey was
presented to Father i.Maokln and the two
clergymen who were to assist In the cere
mony. Upon being presented to Fattier
Maekln the Admiral said that he hud
heard that Father Maekln had In his
early years been a sailor and It gave him
additional happiness to know that he was
to be married by a clergyman who had at
one time followed the sea. Father Maekln
replied happily that when he found he
could not become an admiral he had de
termined to become a priest.
Mrs. Hazen removed her wrap and she
and the Admiral Immediately took their
places In the center of the little reception
loom, where Ihe ceremony was perform
ed which made them man and wife. Father
Mackin and his assistants wore simple
black cassocks.
Words of the Priest.
Before the cermoney Father Makln ad
dressed the contracting parties as follows:
"Before announcing the solemn words
which will bind you forever together It
may bo well to forget for a moment the
things that are around us and to look up
ward. We are the children of God and
wo have a right to call upon Him in Joy
and In sorrow. Wo need His help in bolh
extremes and never more than now, for
although the promises you are about lo
make ore easily made and the work of a
moment, their fulfilment is the work of a
lifetime.
“We call upon God to witness nnd to
bliss this union, of which He Is the author
and which He has made sacred. No mat
ter how generous and devoted you may be
to each other, there are in every life mo
ments of trial, when we, In our weak
ness, need ihe help that comes from
nhovo, and this help will be given In Its
fullness in return for the faithful fulfil
ment of our obligation.
“The higher your position In life, the
more Incumbent on you is the fulfilment
of your obligation and the more rigorous
the accounts that will be exacted. The
neglect of these, obligations will cast Its
shadow upon eternity. Hut tills hour we
hope marks the beginning of a career
which will make you wiser, better and
more useful to your fellow creatures in
this life aniF the life beyond It, and when
death at last sh ill break the link which
binds you, as death alone can break It,
may that last hour find the two hands as
fondly /Hasped and the two hearts as

Be Made Against It—lt Is In the

nlcatlon May Re Cut Off.
Washington, Nov. 9.—The war depart
ment definitely located Agulnaldo to-day;
as on his way to the town of Hoambang,
about seventy-five mires north, ast of Tar
lac.
The iccent calculations have been that
the Insurgent lead, r was at tho town ot
Uayamhung not far from Tarlac. In nhPls
core tho several forces under Gens. Mao-
Arthur, Lawton, Young and Wheaton
would have had him practically surround
ed. |
There has been some doubt, however,
ns to the name Hayambang, and 10-day|
Ihls was cleared up by definite Informa
tion fixing Pormbang Ins ead of Bayam
bang, a the place of Agulnafdo’s refuge.
A dispatch from Gen. Otis mentioned
Hoambang, and at the same time reliable
Information came through dlplomatlo
channels that Lieut. Gilmore and ihe oth
er American ptlsoners were at Hoambang
In Ihe mountains far to the northeast of
Torino. j
It is expected that the Insurgent capital
will now be shifted to Hoambang nnd tha
efforts of the American military forces
will be direct cl toward that point. It la
In the mountainous country of the north
and apparently out of the fertile and popu
lous regions where Agulnaldo has thug
far conducted his operations.
It Is said to be accessible from the south
by only one route along a river, which la
a branch of the Rio Grande. This leaves
the rebel leader with little or no opportu
nity of communicating with the coast ofi
getting In supplies. He also has left tho
railroad behind.
It Is said at tho war department tha!
the column of Gen. Young and Gen. Whea
ton will now push on to the north, follow
ing up the Insurgent leader and his scat
tered bands.
