A special from Frankfort quotes nor Bradley as saying: ‘“Faylor has been elected by at least 10,000 majority and he will be the next Governor of Kentucky.'" On the other hand, returns from Demo- cratic sources show a plurality on the face of the returns of about 2000 for Goebel. This they claim Is to be effected by returns from some missing precincts, where the Democrats can hardly do worse than break even. Mr. Goebel and Sena- tor Blackburn in interviews at Frankfort to-day openly charged the Republicans with fraud in the Eléventh District, from which the returns are coming in very slowly. The indications point more strongly than ever to a contest before the Legislature which, there seems no reasonable doubt, will - be - 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 boards of canvass. ers, which meet to-morrow, simply count and tabulate the returns.

The Boer prisoners on the British cruiser Penelope pay high tribute to the British artillery. Reports from Kimberley seem to indi- cate that the investing force has been greatly weakened for the purpose of send- ing detachments to the eastern and south- ern borders. The threatened widespread Boer invasion of Cape Colony has not ma- terialized. Doubtless the swollen river and the possibility of their retreat being cut off has had some effect.
