Atlanta, Nov. 15—Every day since the congressional election Sccietarv of State Cook has been receiving the county returns in bandies, and yesterday he or dered a consolidation of the vote. With 137 counties divided up among eleven congressional districts, the job was not an ea sy one, but Secretary Cook tackl eJit without consideration of its difficulties, and with the aid of Chief Clerk J. W. Cain and Capt. B. F. Johnson he was able to reach a conclusion at a late hour last night. As a rof-n’t the following is declared to be the official vote in the eleven Georgia districts, and Secretary Cook has once more demonstrated his determi nation to see that the work of bis department is kept up to date. Witjiin twenty-four hour# after the returns were in they were properly .consolidated and certified to the governor. Os course the vote was very light. Especially was this true in those districts where the Democratic nominees had no opposition. One of the largest majorities' is that of Congressman Brant-; ley who encountered a scalawag combination and buried it under over 5,000 majority.

Washington, Nov. 15 —The state department is making etiorg efforts to secure the release of the American. Temple, who is in a Mexican jail on the charge of mur der committed in th» United States, and it has instructed Mr Powell Clayton, United S’ates minister to Mexico, to address himself directly to the American foreign office on that The principle involved in the case is regarded of the highest im portance, for if Temple is held for trial bv the Mexican authorities will amount to an admission on the part of the United Slates of the righ’ of.Mexico to exercise ex tra-tern ioiial jurisdiction over American soil. Substantially the same claim was involved in the c» lebrated Cuitting case, which camg near causing a breach of friendly rela tione. and it arose again in the more recent case of Leonard Pacheco. Cutting whs released by the Mexican government only after trial. Pacheco wa? released, but not on our demand, and in no case has the Mexican government sur rendered its view that it bad a right to try a person in Mexico for an offense committed in the United States, Cutting was in jail for several months and Pacheco for two years. It is not at all probable that any such delay will be in the Temple cass, for the Arizona authorities might easily bring the matter to an issue by demanding the extradition of Temple lor kill ing a man within the border of their territory. Bu’, even accepting the Mexi can contention that it could try an American for killing a Mexican in the U. S., it seems probable tnat the state department can dem onstrate that the man killed by Temple was not a Mexican. The Arizona authorities say that he was born in that territory and, although his parents were anuaG uralized Mexicans under our law, he was a Un’ted States citizen. It this fact is established legally the Mexican government will be put in peculiar position of trying one American for killing another American citizen on American soil. On Sunday last James Temple, a conductor on the New Mexico and Arizona railway, was attacked by some Mexicans and in defending himself sbot one of them at Juan Arvaita fatally. This occurred about 2,000 feet north of the international bound ary line- J. M.

But between the old cave man’s dinner of raw hyena steak and the partie fin of today there is no wonder, saya Trevor, that our stomach fails so often* Trevor, having studied the mat ter carefully thinks that our stom achs are too large and favors “the removal of a considerable portion of it ” Experience he says, has shown him that such an operation would insure greater comfort to every body. .
