J., September 29.—The latest revised returns and estimates this morning indicate that the anti-gambling amendment to the state constitution has been beaten by from five to ten thousand. These figures may be materially changed, as more complete returns come in from the rural counties, but there seems to be no doubt that the amendment is beaten. The amendment giving women the right to vote at school elections is beaten worse than the anti-gambling amendment, while the ad interim appointment amendmeut is probably defeated by a close margin. The returns on the anti-gambling amend- ment show a large negative vote in the cities where opposition to sumptuary leg- islation was the controlling influence more than a pro-race track sentiment. t™m Mon- mouth county, which has no big cities, there was a large vote against the amend- ment, because the people there never wel- comed the closing of Monmouth Park. Hudson county was the only county in which there was any specially organized effort to defeat the amendment. The defeat of the amendment does not by any means indicate an early revival of race tracks, with bookmaking, in New Jer- sey, as the statutes of the state prohibit gambling in any form, and it is not at all probable that the next legislature will re- peal those laws, although an attempt to have it done will no doubt be made. Following are the amendments which were voted on: First—That no pool selling, bookmaking or gambling of any sort shall be author- ized or allowed within this state, nor shall any gambling device, practice or game of chance now prohibited by the laws be legalized, nor the penalty now provided therefor be in any way diminished. Second—That no person who shall have been nominated by the governor, and shall not have been confirmed by the senate be- fore the recess of the legislature, shall be eligible for appointment to such office dur- ing such recess. Third—That the right of suffrage at any school meeting shall be granted female citizens of the age of twenty-one years. See SENSATION AT CHURCH CONGRESS. Father Ignatius Declares the Church in Wandering Away. NOTTINGHAM, Eng., September 2.— There was a sensation here today during the session of the church congress. In dis- cussing the progress of “Life and Thought of the Church of England in the Victorian Era,” the debate a:sumed a dramatic turn by the appearance of Father. Ignatius, the famous monk and euperior of Lianthony Abbey, which he founded. In an impas- sioned speech, Father Ignatius declared that the school represented in the present congress py the Dean of Ripon and the + Archdeacon’ of Manchster was treating creeds as “Mlusions, denying Christ and taking away God: Thus, he continued, was the very raison, d’etre of missionary work Gestroyed, and, he exclaimed, “We are on the frirge of a great apostacy.” The speaker was not interrupted, and sev- eral times he was warmly cheered. a Best Line'to the Qeaker City.

TACOMA,’ Wash:, ‘September 29.—In an interview last hight with a, Ledger re- porter, Senator John L, Wilson said there would be no contest in the Senate over the annexation of Hawaii; the only question that arises would be over the matter of gevernment, and that a plan had already been broached by several senators which it was thought would meet all require- ments. It would be of territorial form, with two houses, tle upper house and the gevernor to be appointed and the lower house to be elected. The governor would be from this country, and nominated by the President, subject to the approval of the Senate. The upper house would be up- pointed from the is!and, and the members he of the lower body to be elected by island. The rational House of Representa tives will have nothing to do with the ap- pointments. Senator Morgan will lead the debate, and | his mission to Hawaii is to gather data. ice area eens TRAGIC FATE OF A WOMAN. Peb. Falls, a Notorious Character, Found Hanging to a Tree. RICHMOND, Va., September 29.—A ,spe- cial to the State from Cowan’s Depot, Reekingham county, in the Shenandoah valley, says news of a most ghastly dis- covery in the Massanuttan mountains, six miles east of there, has just been received. Yesterday several hunters fcund the body of Peb. Falls, a notorious white woman, dangling at the end of a rope fastened to the limb of a tree. When discovered the body was in the first stage ol decomposition. It is supposed that the woman was hanged by negroes, who have been her companions lately. No ef- fert has been made as yet to apprehend the guilty parties. She was a married wo- tan, but for years her reputation had been unsavory, and finally she was driven to the mountains, where she slept in the fields and in the woods. ——_+-. PINGREE IN VENEZUELA.
