Mrs. A/tkimson will be the gnest Mrs. Northen nex week. Mrs. Nor then is now quite sick. She lias been closely con fined ito lier room for <bwo weeks and la ns yet unable to receive vis itors. Mr. Atkinson feels quite happy over ■the result of WfJdnesday’e election. TOe crtiuin of Uhe Idn-z campaign-has •been hard on him. but 'the realization •'that It is all over Was already had -a revivifying effect omthe governbr-eleot. Mr. Atkinson does not take, the re sult as a surprise. He believes it to have been the natural result} of .dis sension inside 'the party, over the finan cial question, land the refusal \ot come of ithe leadens to stand squarely up tto the pla'tfonm and to nlmaelf as the sbandlard-bearer of the party. 'Mr. Atkinson, however,' thinks 'Wednesday’s warning will be heeded in the November elections, and the result •will foe a much better Demo cratic fight than would have been put up under other circumstances. Ilo ih coi fldent tha»t the Fourth district will go straight and dons not take much slock in Watson’s confidence of . elec tion in the To rath. The official vote for governor, with eight counties n’ot yet heard from, gives Mr. Atkinson a majority of 24.490. * The counties from which no official repents have been received are C^tht den, Chariton, Echol9, Irwin, Jones, Ta* traall Towns and Webster. It is ent!malted that these counties will In crease Mr. Aitklnison’e majority be tween 500 aifd 1,000. From a partial comparison of *the vote for the state-house officers and for governor it is estimated'that Mr. Atkinson will run behind his ticket more ithan 5,000. Mr. Atkinson’s largest majority was received in OiwWhtfm counity, which cave Mm 2.749. His smallest official •majority came from Banks, which was 21.

Cook, for representative, 8-12; Blalock, S08. The remainder of tho state ticket was be hind in about the same proportion us that for governor. Democratic county commissioners were elected because one district failed to send in any returns in regard to county commissioners. It was thought at one time the managers would throw out two districts whose tally sheets and lists of voters did not come in un der seal, hut the managers decided to eeud the vote up Just as rece.ved, to gether with two other districts whose papeis were not signed up by the man agers unddr certificate as to these and otht.-r irregularities in tin* vote. Tacre was Intense feeling on ihc part of tho Populists when It was tufted that the districts would bo thrown out, thus giving the Democrats the majority for all candidates.

Henry of Niavarre Wius a Great Race From CHffoiU and Domino. Morris Park Race Trabk, N. Y., Oct. 6.—The baittle for the supremhey of tihe American runfiing turf vud fought on the undulating plains of Westchester this afternoon, and Henry of Navarre now wears the crown. The race .was a Uhree-comered spe cial. Henry of Navarre, the ontfe peer less Domino and tihe doughty champion of the West, Clifford, were (the con testants. The financial prize w^s $5,000. This was not the only stake. The championship was really at issue. Domino had beaten Henry of Na varre and (had also run a dead heat with him. Clifford hiad suffered de feat a't Domino’s hands au'd had low ered the colors of the unlucky Henry of Navarre. In all of thesu finishes Whey h'ad been only noses apart, and each horse had been driven to the ut most limit of endurance to beat the other, with idle exception of Domino’s ra.ee with Clifford. The Interest in the race was at fever heait. Domino was the ‘popular idol and he was tih’c favorite. Clifford was also in more active demand itttran Henry of Navarre. The bugle call summoned the equine gladiators to the post at 4:30 o’clock, Domino showing more temper than u.~u.iil and a decided reluctance to go to the post, appeared alt the head of tho stretch. It look hla trainers quite a llt.tle time to move. Domino was greet ed with. terrific applause. Henry of Navarre did no create any g>res»t en- tlhilateuam wihen 'he cantered* slowly past the grnnd stand -to show ihis color-3. Clifford came Inf or a burst of ap plause. The 25,000 persons 'thoit surged In ajid about the lawns and grand stand arose as one person to greet him. There were* everal minor breaks beforo they, got'the signal to go. Domino thud a slight advantage over Henry of Na varre, While Clifford was at their heels. Domino at once began to force tho.pace. It w.-is his forte to tip-toe Henry of Navarra from flag flail to finish. He went one to do this. It Mwndd to suit Henry of Navarre. He went /with (him. Domino had cl lead of a head at the first furlong post and the pair were a length and a half be fore Clifford. They raced up the incline and «icross f&be brow of the bill with out the sllglute^t change. The pace was terrific and the excite ment Intense as they neared the home stretch without any change. The water towerw as passed and the were iu. the long undulating home stretch. Doeilno then tried to draw clear of Henry oi Na varre, but he was unable to do so. Toe chestnut hung to him. with bulldog tan- acltv. At the furlong post Domino began to -show signs of faltering. Taral began to drive him. It was no use. He struggled on under cniel goad ing from whip and *pur. His taslc, how ever, was too much for him. Taral sen sibly *aw tho futility of further perse verance and gave in. “Seo Clifford,” rang out beforo toe groans which emanated from the throats of the Domino admirers as their Idol fell from his pedestal, had died away. Wltn that, wonderful spacenlevouring stride that made him famous, Clifford bounded up to Henry of Navarre. '•He wins In a gallop," shouted every one with the same breath. The cry was premature. Clayton had not yet called upon Henry of Navarre. When Clifford got his nose In front Clayton settled down to ride Henry of Navarre. A desperate struggle ensued. Amid Intense excite ment Henry of Navarre slowly but surely drew away from the doughty Clifford) and* crossed the line a winner by a length. The result was a disappointment, but vic tor and vanquished alike were cheered. It is plain that Domino is not a stayer. The hills were too severe a test for him. The day was one of the greatest in the history of Morris Park, both os regards the size and fashion of the crowd which saw the races. The weather was also perfect. IN THE PAVILION. Attendance good; Speculation brisk. The sport was of the best and no little enthusiasm was manifested all around. It was In reality a great day for the turf. Some enjoyed it—then some didn’t. And that's#the way It goes. It’s not in tho pa per 3 to have a Navarre running for you every day, and yet every one has his day. Hence it is that while "a sporting life may be checkered, Its never dull.” See? Monday’s.entries given below. There’s not a poor race on tho card.

HILL ACCEPTS THE NOMINATION Ho Sinks Personal Preferences for Pub lic Duly and Makes a Ringing Speech. DEMOCRATS MUST UNITE. That Was the Keynote Sounded flu His Address of Acceptance—Drown Takes the Place of Oaynor 011 the Ticket for Judge. New York, Oct. 0.—Thu uncertainty regarding the Democratic ticket In this state has at length been removed and die following ticket will take tho Hold In tho coming election: For gov ernor, DaMd Bennett Hill of Elmira; for lieutenant-governor, Daniel Look- wood of Buffalo; Judge court of ap peals, Charles F. Brown of Newhurg. This result was accomplished after a conference lasting all day, In which tho members of tho state committee, Senator Hill and tho leaders of tho party from all over the state partici pated. Nearly all of the members of tho Democratic state committee assembled at the headquarters nt tho Farit Ave nue hott-1 at II o’clock today. They found very little to do, however, as the leaders of the party were holding a conference In the hotel In regard to tho tilling of the third place on tbo ticket. Finally Lieutenant-Governor Sheehan announced that the committee would nominate Judge Charles' F. Browu of Nowburg for Judgo of tho court, of appeals. This was the result of the all-day conference between tho leaders. Then die notification committee, bonded by Maj. Hinckley, chairman of the state committee, proceeded up stairs to notify Senator Hill and Mr. Lockwood of their -nominations. Senator Hill, flanked on cither side by Mayor Gilroy mid W. Bourko Cock- ran and followed by Mr. Lockwood and the other members of tho notifica tion oommlttee, was escorted to the committee room. There was a choer from the assem bled state committeemen as Hill en tered die room. He st'dod with Ids back to the mantlepiece, holding some manuscript m his hand. Mr. Lockwood stood on Mr. Hill’s right, while grouped In front wero 'Mayor Gilroy, Delaney Nlcoll, Bourko CJockran and the other Tammany men.' , Mr. Hill was then formally notified by MaJ. Hinckley of Ids nomination. Ho bowed Ids head in’ acknowledgment and a smilo played over his face. Then Congressman Cockrun stepped forward and, standing In front of Mr. Hill, ad dressed him. As he was speaking Ills big form swayed to and fro and bis voice echoed through tho room In Im passioned accents. ••senator Hill," said Mr. Cockran, "the committee of notification formally tender* you the nomination wldcli was made in your presence In tho conven tion at Surtoga. That nomination, un- forseen by you and Unexpected by the country ut large, has been tho signal for Domocrutio revival all over tlio country uud will bo tho chief plunk lu the bridge over which tho Demo-' cratlo hosts will march to victory throughout thiK country on elect.on day. AVe might have so respected your scruples under ordinary circumstances and consented not to put your name In nomination, but In times of danger like tho present we felt it was your duty to lead us to victory. "We appeal to you by all tho tri umphs ot the past, by all tho dlllicul- tlcs of tho present and by nil the hopes of the future.to oomo forward. Wo ask you to lend us onco more and we ate certain that when the standard will bo placed In your bands, It will be the signal that the battle Is already won and wo win be guaranteed a vic tor}- before the first blow shall havo been struck." Then turning to Mr. Lockwood, he said that In the last election ho fought under another lender than the gentle man who headed tho lloket today, “In the days of our proserlty," said Mr. Cockran, "wc could afford to havo coinpctit.on for distinguished places. But In this hour of peril we must have hut one parly, bo aulniated by a tinglo thought, devoted to a single cause and moved by a single leader The conven tion has asked you to stand side by side with the gallant leader that has led us to victory so often." Senator Hill then made Ills reply, which wis cheered to tho echo. When -he said ho was ready to iceept the nomination and would -lead the ticket In the coming campaign, tlie enthusi asm of the state oornmltteomen knew no bounds. Mr. Hill slid in part: “While keenly apprceiuilug the htch honor conferred ill being nominated for a third time by one party for so I important a position, yet 1 cannot liut feel that personally 1 nave everything to lose and nothing to gam by tiio con test to which you so summon me. Hie 1 gubernatorial ofllco has no longer any j attraction lot me. and personally I • preferred to remain tn the senate, i where tho duties were gr.iiluailv In coming more congenial to my tastes, aiul where f believe I could more ac ceptably servo tho Intero-es of this great state. But personal considera tions must have 30 weight where pub lic duty is concerned. "Toe Democratic party, especially in this state. U confronted with a great crlet-s, which subs.an : illy involves iu existence as a political orginlzitlon. Our opponents, fokinsr advantage of -U-elr accidental supremacy in the legislature and In the constitutional convention, are seeking to fasten upon the -people of the state a system of apportionment ot representation which virtually-gives tare• Republicans con trol of the legislative department of the state for twenty years to come— a system based upon territorial area rather than upon population, founded upon injustice and iniquity and de signed to enable the minority Wither ■than the majority of the people to control the suhe. "The very life of our party Is at stake. BcsWes. -the control of the next house of representatives may depend upon the election here. "The Democratic convention having against my protest selected me to load In such a crisis, and although I ex ceedingly regret Its action, -and espe cially regret Slut my Advice was not adopted In regard to tihe representa tion In tho convention itself, uud while I have sought during the past week, as punsowal and Intimate political frtcr.-ds well know, not only to henl tind harmonize tnwlonal dleorences, but to secure some other candidate wholly ac ceptable to every one to assume my plaice In this great struggle, In whoso favor I would gladly retire, bult which has not proved feasible, and recollect ing Chat the, Democratic party of this state has honored sue In the past -when I sollcItiM Its favors lit the days of Its sunshine -and prosperity, I oalinot de sert it now -In -lie hour of Its danger ar.d In this great emergency. "It Is a time when-personal sacrifices are demanded, when Individual pref erences must be subordinated to tho general good, and when there must bo exhibited a lofty patriotism. If we win In this contest It wilt be the par ty’s victory, not mine; if wo lose, It will be the party’s defeat which will be Involved in my own. "Personally, 1 am largely Indifferent to the consequences ot the struggle. A duty confronts me und I shall perform It ns Ood gives me the Ism to" see ’t. let the results be what they may. I shall confi dently appeal to the plain people of the state, who have always sustained me In the past when I have espoused their cause. I shall prlBent to thorn the Issue of Democracy versus Democracy! .the is sue of no public taxation except for pub lic purposes; Tho Issue of opposition to tho centralization of all powers In the general government; tho Issue of personal liberty against religious Intollcrance; the Issue of good government, liberal and just ex cise lajws, economy in finbltc expcdltures. the promotion of tho dignity of labor ana protection of Its rights; municipal home rule; the uprooting of corruption and the correction ot abuses everywhere, whether In Republican or Democratic localities. ’’Gentlemen, I ’ accept tho nomination which you, In behalf of tho Democratic party )f New Volk, have tendered me. and, relying upon the undaunted courago cf tho Democratic masses, their fortitude inter adverse elivimiotnnces, their loyalty to their principle.! which truly represent the people's cause, I enter upon this con- tst with the determination that no non- c.rable effort on my* part shall he spared to achlova success, and with tho confi dence which IS on earnest of assured vic tory.” After Mr. 11111 had concluded Mr. Lock- wood also replied, accepting the nomina tion for lieutenant governor. He said: "J a a. cure you that I fully npprcclato tho compliment paid mo by tho Democratic party in placing me In nomination for tho responsible andr honorable office of lieutenant governor. For tho kind words you have expressed In conveying to mo the action of the convention I thank you." THREE STRAIGHTS FOR CHANTS.

WILL STICK TO THEIR POSTS Christian Missionaries In Che Celestial Klnftdom Are Not Afraid for Their hefvty—'Tho Csnr”e toiuU- tlou Not Dungeroue* (Special Cnblo Letter by Telegraph.) London, Oct. 0.—It can ho ut.itod on authority that tho developments of iho past week" In eastern adults will lead to concerted action on tho part of Eu ropean powers. On Monday last Mr. N. It. U’Oonnor, tlio British minister at Pekin, warned tho foreign otltco by cablegram Diat tho condition ot affairs lu Chino, was such that tho government was not ablo to guarantee protection to tho foreign residents at tho treaty ports and tho missionaries lu tbo Inte rior of tho oouutry. Tlio minister In tlio same cablegram stated that tho Ohlneso Imperial coun cil was disorganized and that tho col- lapso of tho government was not looked upon as an impossibility, nud advised that Instant action ho taken for tho protection of tho llveo and property of British subjects In China. Tlio substnneo of his dispatch WM at onco communicated by Lord Host bery to tho governments ot Prance, Russia and Germany, with tho sugges tion that tlio powers co-oprato lu In creasing iho guard at tho treaty ports' nud In measures for tho protection of tho missionaries. When the cabinet met on Thursday, friendly responses front all threa of tho powers named had 'ooen reclvcd, and the3o so thoroughly cleared up tho situation ns to enable tho ministers to giro tho premier and tho Earl of Kim berly, secretary of stato for foreign af fairs, free hand to toko whatever steps In tbo matter they might consider uoc- cssary. No question of Intervention botwoen Japan and China has arisen, however. It is reported that preparations itro being mado to send 10,000 additional troops to occupy tho leading treaty ports, and If tho present Intention Is curried out, parliament, on reassem bling, will ho asked to grant a credit of 4,000,000 pounds to cover tho ex penses of tho expedition. Tho offers of mediation between China and Japan are all widely divergent. Tlio truth of tho matter Is that It is tho general lio- llcf In olllelal circles that tho members of tho cabinet arc unanimously against any foreign Interference, nuil, so far 11s Great Britain Is concerned, favor allowing the Jnpnnoso to reap tho full fruits of their victory, unless, of course, they reek to Injure tho commercial in terests of Europe. Since tho holding of ho cabinet coun cil. instructions have been cabled to the British minister ot Pekin and the Brit ish consuls at *11 tho treaty ports tn send to tho mission stations In iho In terior Imneretlve directions for the withdrawal of alt tho missionaries to the protected const districts. The consuls wigo empowered by their Instructions to cnil for assistance upon Vloe-Ailmlral .Freemuntlp, commanding tho British fleet tn OMnooe waters, who Is authorized to send gunboats to any possible distance un the Chlnooe rivers, If suoh aetton be doomed nccesjary to cover tho withdrawal of tho missiona ries. The Instructions arc also direct that all mlxftlonarles. without regard to na tionality, should be protected. Tho few monger tclogmms thus for received by tlie minister and consufit fromho nearest mission otathxns Indi cate that the missionaries there are de termined not to dmjrt choir posts, but to continue their wbrk In tho f.ico of all risks. The largest Prdtestiiit Inland mission tn China Is engaged in. tho province of Seh-Chuen and Hu-Pel, tn which pro vinces antl-forelgn riots lravo incrat oft- «n occurred. The managers of these stations. Instead bf withdrawing the workmen under their mipervlrion, are sending fresh drafls of missionaries to the various sub-stations in their dis trict. they having received advices that there Is no more can"? for fear of Ill- treatment than usually exists. The society whlah operates those.sta. tlnns also his fbur stations In «hc pru- vlnce of Pe-ChMI. in which province Pekin to situated, and these four sta tions employ OH mission-trim, no ona of whom. 00 far as known. Is preparing to retreat. The same may be said of the Catholic missionaries, who tn numbers a/'Jaritoly to excess of the Prole.tom tnlssirnnries.
