AT THE WHITE HOUSE Interest Manifested by the President in the Result of Today's Contest. Arrangements to Receive the Returns Tonight—Government Officials Who Did Not Vote. The President and the stay-at-home members of his cabinet are taking the deepest personal interest In the result of today’s battle of the ballots, notwithstand- ing the fact that none of them is a can- didate for political preferment. At the congressional election two years ago the President, Secretary Carlisle and other members of the cabinet were apparently so indifferent to the result that they went down the river on election day on a duck hunting expedition beyond the reach of tel- egraphic communication, and did not hear of the sweeping republican victeries in all parts of the country until many hours after it was old news to the rest of the world. Several days ago it was suggested to the Presiden? that tae present was-a good time to visit the haunts of the festive ducks in the watcrs of North Carolina, and the temptation was increased by enthusiastic reports of the abundance of water fow! awaiting his coming. The bait was not sufficient, howe overcome the Pri dent's interest in the political contest, and he concluded to remein in the city in order to learn the result with as little delay as possible. Arrangements for Tonight. With that idea in view he has rangemeats for the receipt of elec: de ar- on Fe turns at the Executive Mansion this even- ing, and has invited a tow of his intimate friends to join him in considering the re- turns and comparing the vote in the dif- ferent states with the votes cast in pre- vious elections. ‘The arrangem for the receipt of news at the White House are mere perfect and thorough thon ever be- fore.

David N. Burke, consul general at Tan- gier, Morocco, reports to the State Depart- ment that another act of pi Was com- mitted by the Moors oif the Riffian coast on the Sth of October last. A French sail- ing vessel was attacked by about 100 Riffs in small boats about twenty miles off Cape Babazin. As soon as the attack be- came known on shore the Spanish governor of Alhucemas and some of the Spanish col- eny at once set out, in the little steamer Sevilla, to render ald to the French vessel. They arrived in time to capture three of the pirates’ boats, which were on the point cf pushing off for the shore with prisoners and plurder. The Spaniards boarded the French vess<l, which was in possession of the pirates, and after a severe struggle suc- ceeded in rescuing the captain and a mem- ber of the crew. The Spaniards are reported to have had one man killed and four or tive severely wounded; some of the wounded have been reported as having died. It is al ported that some of the crew of the i J vessel have dicd from their wounds. A French man-of-war arrived at Pangier on the 15th of October and others were expe ed on the 16th, among them a Spanish war vessel. Consul of the The Alert to Go to Honolula. The Navy Department is informed that the cruiser Alert, which has undergone ex- tensive repairs at the More Island navy yard, dropped down to San Francisco this morning, preparatory to her departure for Honolulu as the relief of the cruiser Ad- ams, which latter vessel will start for San Francisco immediately upon the arrival of her relief. AT FOUR-MILE RUN Scenes at the Balloting at the Nearest Vir- The Constable aa Important Factor in Aiding the Illiterate How to Cast Their Votes. Just acress the Potomac in Alexandria county the excitement over the election today was at fever heat. At an early hour this morning the crowds began to gather about the voting places and there they stayed for the most part all through the day. Scenes that are being enacted all over the country were being duplicated in the little villages across the river and knots of men stood about for hours at a time discussing the situation and the prob- able outcome of the battle of the ballots. The voting place nearest to this city was at Four-Mile Run and there all the voters from a section of country extending from the limits of Alexandria to the Aqueduct bridge and well back Into the county had an opportunity to say their say in the election of the country’s next President. This section is known as the Jefferson “deestrick,” and it is said that fully three- fourths of the voters are colored men. There are in the neighborhood of 350 voters in the district, and when a Star reporter visited Four-Mile Run this morn- ing fully a third of them were standing about discussing matters of national in- terest and settling the financial question over and over again. In the crowd there were not more than six or eight white men outs:de of the election cfficers. They all admitted that the colored voters would cast their ballots elmost to a man for McKinley, but how many of the votes ould ever get counted, they also admitted, quite another matter. Importance of the Constable. The polling place was a small brick build- ing on the main road between this city and exandria. On the little porch were erect- ed two closets or booths, into which the voters we expected to retire to fix up theit ballots. The only man who was per- mitted to enter the booths with a voter was the constabie, who was charged with the duty of aiding the illiterate in scratch- ing their tickets. He wore a Kryan button spicuously pinned to the lapel of his coat, and, as almost every man who wa: unable to read, expressed a desire to vote for McKinley, it can readily be seen that the constable occupied a position of con- siderable importance. When a voter told him which ticket he wanted to vote, the constable would show him which names to ratch off, leaving the voter to do the actual penciling himself. [t med as though fully half of the vote com- pelled to cail upon him for assistance. The constable said to The Star reporter that, in his opinion, there would be thous- that would be thrown out were not properly made out. “$s a man in that booth now,” he said, “who thinks he can scratch his ticket all right, and refuses to let me help him, and yet F know very well that he's simply throwing his vote away, because he don’t krow how to make it out. I shouldn't be surprised if 50,000 votes are thrown out in this state for that very reason.” Made to Confuse. “That's just abcut right,’ said known Alexandria republican when the was called to his attention. hallots are in the first plac a view to ccnfusing ignorant voters. re more than two feet jong and con- f five presidential well- statement ~Thes with mi d the rr iladelphia la to ind them, Right here in t icee judges are democrats, rk ‘and the constable. ‘A un read bas to be as: by a democrat, and yet the chan! ten to one he's a_ republic m contident that if es state were cou Virginia wou five to ter thousan There was comparatively ment about the voting plac the voters had thrust their sl Whole in the window behind under- triet two ly and so who is wo republican by from little excite As fast through a which the at they retired to the railroad plat- d spent the rest of the day talk- dlities or discussing the latest murder n Cit > — Personal Mention.

The result there will be very close, but the other coun- in that district give Lester, the dem- tic nominee, a majority great enough to insure his election. : In the other districts the democrats will get increased majorities. ~~~» — Wouldn't Work Both Ways. From Harper's Round Table. What Is good for one is not always good for another. This is illustrated in a short tale told some time ago about a French n.edical student. While in London on a visit, the student lodged in the house with a man very sick with a fever, who was con- tinually besiezed by his nurse to drink very neuseating liquids which were lukewarm. The sick man found this almost impossible to do, until one day he whispered to hig nurs “Bring me a salt herring, and I will drink as much as you please.” The woman indulged him in his request; he ate the herring, drank the liquids, un- derwent the required perspiration and re- covered, The French student, thinking this very clever, inserted In his journal: “Salt her- ring cures an Englishman of fever.” On his return to France he prescribed the remedy to his first patient with a ‘The patient died.

At republican congressional headquarters today an atmosphere of confidence and cheerfulness prevailed.

Secretary Mercer received a telegram stating: that in his congression- al district in Nebraska the betting was two to one in his favor. All work has céased at the committee headquarters, and most all of the employes have been dismissed. Chairman Babcock was presented with a silver inkstand by the employes of the Hterary bureau.

In the early morning the transportation bu- reau was busy dispatching bulletins to nearby Maryland and Virginia points. Combination Sliver Headquarters. The last day at the combination silver headquarters was excessively dull, from a newspaper standpoint. Of course, there were numerous gatherings of the faithful and extended conversations and predic- tions.

From the Bosten ‘Globe: An itinerant corn doctor took posses: of the public square in Charlestown, N a few evenings since, and proceeded to transact a business which was of land of- fice dimensicns while ic lasted. But closed up early. Sggs were flying at him from all direc- tions, and he was a sorry-looking sight when he rezched the friendly shelter of the hotel. He had imposed upon the confidence of the unsophisticated, and the shower of eggs was their way of expressing their righteous indignation. The “doctor's” modus operandi w: some- thing like this: He had a corn salve that was unequaled and unapproachable in its virtues; he wished to advertise it, and would, for 10 cents, give a sample of the salve and a check, on the pr ntation of which later he would give a present. The “present” end of it caught many who were old enough to know better, and sev- eral children, bu great was their surprise When on presenting their checks they were handed cents as a present. This was making money very fast. Each purchaser had realized 50 per cent on his nvestment. The doctor had article No. 2 to advertise, and would also give a pres- ent to every purchaser who would pay cents for a sample. ‘Those who had bought one package of No. 1 took two and three cf article No. 2, and were given checks as in the previous instance. Of course, they thought this man who gave them 15 cents for 10 would cer- tainly sive them at least 35 for 25. But he didn’t. He probably thought he had gone the limit, and when the speculators presented their checks they were giver a bit of taffy candy by the srriling doctor, who said: “I told you I would give you a present, and I have done so,” and while he continued to give them the laugh they began to see the “Joke.” Several of those on the outside of the crowd got their heads together, and then went to a nearby provision store and in- vested all the money they had in eggs, and the less mcdern they were the more desir- able fcr thelr purpose. When they returned the voluble doctor was telling his audience not to feel bad over the matter. He had, he sald, traveled a great deal, and had “got it In the neck” himself and’ never complained. Well, just then he got it in the neck and in the back and on the head and in several other places. There was a perfect shower of eggs. The doctor's smile vanished, and he did not stand upon the order of going, but got quickly. He made-$5 or $6, but he will need a new sult of clothes. —+e+. © Ruling Passion.

The Career of Each Briefly Traced— Suggestion of the Secretary’s Return to the Senate. The Kentucky campaign winds up, as was to be expected, with some very bitter ex- changes between the followers of Mr.Black- burn and those of Mr. Carlisle. Feeling in the state runs high and will continue to do so for some time to come. The war is over two favorites wholly unlike in their equi, ment and naturally antagonistic to ea other, Mr. Blackburn's Career. Mr. Blackburn 1s fifty-eight years old, and three years the junior of Mr. Carlisle. He has been in politics ever since 1871, when he was elected a member of the lower house of the Kentucky legislature. He came to Washington a few years later as member of the Forty-fourth Congress, and served continuously in that body until March, 1885, when he was elected to the Senate. His term as Senator will expire next March, Mr. Blackburn served in the confederate army with the rank of captain. His title, however, has never followed him away from home. His friends call him “Jo,” and the country at large has accepted him by that familiar designation. He is a popular man, a popular orator, fluent of speech, and a good off-hand campaigner. He is not a student, and while he was pr pared for the bar, has practiced but little. He is a college man, Mr. Carlisle's Course. Mr. Carlisle is a product of the common ools of the state. He, too, entered poll- ities early in life. His first service was as a member of the Kentucky senate. He be- came lieutenant governor in 1871, and came to Washington as a member of the Forty- fifth Congress. His record since Is well isnown. While one of the most effective speakers in the coun'ry, he does not rank an orator. He is a hard and thorcugh student of both law and politics, and is an accepted authority on both subjects. His mpathies during the war were with the Union side. He is affable, but not chummy fond of good stories, but tells none, and enjoys the distinction of never having been called “colonel” her home or abroad, He is regarded in ynprej- udiced circles at home as being inteliect- ually the foremost man in the state's his- tory since Henry Clay. First Clash, There ca a clash between these two nen soon after their appearance in na- tional life. It was inevitable. Mr. Black- burn drew around him some very devoted friends, but the country at large rated Mr. Carlisle higher in » scale. Mr. Black- burn aspired to the speakership and ran against: Mr. ndall, failed. After a “w years, Mr. Carlisle offered for the ership agai Mr. Randall, and won hi of course, established Mr. s ieadership. The First Senatorial Contest. No sooner was this contest settled than the senato: t opened in Kentucky ever the seat in the Senate then occupied by General Willian General Williams but Mr. Blackburh was a was in the lead man and a dei followed. In cak this it w prep Cariisle to the Se ate. ‘This made the Blackburn men fu- ricus. They complained that the Carlisle men wanted to “hog” everything for their favorite. So far as Mr. Carlisle himself - did not want the senator- aid so. He kept his rame out of the balloting, and, at last, Mr. Blackburn, jar: because of that fact, was successful. Agnin to the Senate. Since then Mr. Carlisle has continued to lead Mr. Blackburn in growth and prom9- tion. He is now one of the foremost men in the country, a prominent contributor to all discussions of weightier political sub- jects, ar ily the first man in his state It is not regarded as at all strange, t fore, that the friends of sound mone; over the coun’ ould welcome the gestion of his return to the Senate. They consider that he is new so full and so ca able a man, his retirement to private life would be a public loss. Se ee THE MURDERER ARRESTED. Who Killea Pollard, Caught in This City. Shortly before 3 o'clock this afternoon it was found that the murderer of Johnny Pollard in Jackson City last night was John Findley, a colored man about twenty-five years of age. This information w; cured by a brother of the murdered man and a friend named James Summerville. ‘The first clue was obtained by the finding iu the road near the spot where the mur- der occurred of a hat and a revolver, both of wnich were identified as the property of Findley. The two men this morning began a search for Findley and finally located him at Emrich’s Hotel, opposite the Baltimore and Ohio depot, where he has been em- ployed as a waiter for about five months pa John Findle: mny According to the two men Finley ad- mitted to them that he shot John Pollard. The brother of Pollard thereupon proceeded to police headquarters while Summerville kept watch at the hotel. Detectives Carter and Gallagher at once set out in search of Findley, and as they entered the front door of the hotel the mur- derer escaped through a rear door and ran off. Summerville, seeing the move, started in pursuit, and soon overhauled Findley. Handcuffs were placed on him, and he was taken to the detective office. He refused to say anything regarding the affair after be- ing placed under arrest See GREAT INTEREST ABROAD. London and Paris Papers Devote Con- siderable Space to the Election. LONDON, November 3.—Interest in the pi ential election in the United States is the greatest ever known in this country in a similar event. The newspapers are publishing columns of matter on the sub- ject, and the question is discussed in all public places. Some idea of the extraordi- nary interest taken may be scen in the fact that the London newspapers are preparing to builetin the results of the balloting on receipt of the cable news from the United States. ‘The feature of business on the stock ex- change today was the buoyancy of Ameri- can securities in response to the New York market. PARIS, November 3.—The French news- papers are devoting much space to the presidential election in the United States. The Gaulois_ remarks: “In the finan- cial world McKinley success is no longer doubted, but we Europeans expect nothing from either candidate.” = Wanted to Vote. With a face so highly colored that it would come near making a good headlight fer an overhead trolley car, Edward Me- Julien called at the Capitol yesterday and insisted that he must be given a ticket to his home, so that he could vote. He is a painter by trade, and belongs in New Jer- sey, but the “paint” that colored his face so highly a policeman suggested was “‘Jer- sey lghtning.” While the man’s conduct was peculiar and scmebody made a sugges- tion of insanity, but when the police sta- tion was reached the officers concluded that too much liquor had troubled his brain. Still the man wanted to go home to vote, bui instead he was sent to the Wash- ington Asylum Hospital. But he remained there only a short time, for this afternoon he appeared on Pennsylvania avenue very much under the influence of liquor, and came near causing an election riot. After considerable trouble he was subdued by Policeman Walsh and locked up on a charge of vagrancy. ——_ Government Receipts. National bank notes received today for redemption, $142,985.

The Mystery of Phosphorescence in Gradually Getting Cleared U From the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph. Bit by bit the old mystery which sur- rcunds the subject of the emission of light by phosphorescent substances is being un- traveled. Uacanny stories of corpse lights and will-o'-the-wisps may continue to fur- nish food for the folklorist, and the fabled lamp of Aladdin will flourish forever in story. Science, when she dissipates a mys- tery, always ends by leaving the heart of the fable untouched. Nevertheless, she Goes explore the facts that lie at the base of romance, and sometimes deals cruelly with them. Of the out-of-the-way corner: of science none has been more tempting than that which is concerned with the strange property of giving at light with- out heat. To the alchemists are due the be- ginnings of real discovery. Did not Krafft evolve from a hidecus brew of organic mat- ter the material afterward isolated as the chemical element, phosphorus? Its slow oxidation In most air produces the pale gleam familiar to every schoolboy as be- longing to lucifer matches. Did not an obscure shoemaker of Bologia @iscover that by heating in a furnace, mix- ed with a little flour meal, a certain por dered spar from Monte Paterno, there w ylelded a chalky powder having the prop- erty of shining in the dark after having been exposed to sunlight? Here was a prime mystery. No combustion, no waste of substance—in short, a mere bottling up of daylight, to emit it again with a feeble, night-long gleam when all around was dark. To the famous phosphorus of Bolog- na succeeded the more brilliant phospherus of John Canton, concocted of oyster shells ned with charcoal or meal in a close crucible. And the phosphorus of Canton is in our day superseded by luminous paint, used for clock faces and matchbox tops, that need to be visthe in the blackest of night. Science tells us that, after all, these are only sulphides of the but, be that so, th never pure sulphides. Closely akin to phosphorescence is the property of fluorescence, the nature of which, though some of the facts were known to Goethe, to Brewster and to He schel, wis first explained by Sir Geor, Stokes. A chip of horse chestnut back, crystal of quinine, or a grain of the ¢ Stuf eosin, 1s dropped into water—ac: u- lated, it may be, to hasten solutton—and behold the liquid exhibits on the surface exposed to light me cole st beautiful blue or orange, as as That a liquid should possess a surfa or where the light first strikes it, and th color be quite different from the color of the liquid itself, as seen by transmitted light, is a fact that fascinates by its green, éoxical nature. Why shculd the gr quid) mad by macerating young green aves in alcohol shine with a deep red cel- or on its surface? Fluorspar—the “blue- ichn” of the miners—exhibits milar pos- session; for its surface color is different from the tint of the mineral. Stoke ed that this surface tint is due to the prop- in transforming into visi- ble colored light some of the invisible waves which are always present in daylight, and from their position in the spectrum até called ultr: being waves of shorter length frequency of vi- bration than the shortest of visible waves, y. the violet. This transmutation of into invisible Stokes named uo! ce en followed the discovery Waves which excite flnorescerce scrived, and which are the ve that are most active photographi . are also the waves that are most aciive in ducing phosphorescence in the luminous paints.

So to the phenomena of phosphor- nce and fluorescence we have now a hyper-phosphorescence to rd. And if mann and his collaborators have half the mystery of phosphor nee by showing that it is due to a sort of lim! a chemical decomposition of molecules under the influence of electric or luminous simu- Ss certainly no less be- ; the explanation itself no less a mystery, needing in turn to be explained. +02 Undisputed Ownership.

There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis- ease, but simply to a constipated condi- tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt- ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millionsof families, andis everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that itis the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debiliteting the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene- ficial effects, to note when you pur- chase, that you have the genuine arti- cle, which is manufactured by the Cali- fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed _ eve here, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction. — THE ELECTION DISTRICTS.
