I't seems that iflhe aggregate vote cast this year will he 'but a few thousand larger than that of 1896, which shows the greater feeling of doubt four years ago as to be result. In 1880 1&84, an " 1892 the increase ranged between 678,000 acd 835,000. In 1888 there was lain ex ceptional increase in 'the (total vote of 1.335,000. The increase in 1896 was no less than 1 864,000, so that to find the vote almost stationary in 1900, a year of foregone results, is no great surprise. New !BngUamd was the only section dn which the democrats made decided gadna, Sand the republican pluralities there are far larger than they "were be fore the era of 'Bryan. In 'the six New England states iMcKinley lost 77,211 votes and, Bryan gained 92,625. Burt, as the republicaia margin in New iEJnigliand is still 197. 000. "ranging from. 13.000 in 'Rhode island to 81,000 in Miastsaenu setts, the so-called democratic gains in that section are an unfruitful study. The South book but a ilaingiuid interest in the election. As a rule a reduced vote was cast for both candidates, Bryan losing iheavily. Though iMfcKinley lo fooir Northern states, his .pencentaige gain there was enormous', amounting it 330 per cent iin.

MORE TREATY AMENDMENTS. (Continued from first pa -e,) 60 to 127. Mr. Bartholdt's amendment was defeated on a arising vote, 74 to 119. After a number of futile efforts to re duce the tax on beer the ways and means- committee's proposition fixing the tax at $1.60 a Ibarrel was aigree to 139 to 68.

By reason of the recommendation made to congress by Commodore War den, when the Superintendent of the NavalAcademy.every form, of hazing at that place was made a court martial offence punishable by dismissal. The last outbreak of hazing at Annapolis was on the cruise of the Constellation, the naval practice ship, when Capt Sampson, now Rear Admiral, was Su perintendent of the Naval Academy oapt. bampson ordered the cruise stopped and convened a court-martial, which dismissed nine men. There has been no hazing at Annapolis since. If similar action were taken at West Point there would be no Whittaker case or Albert case, or Booz case there ev ery few years. New York Sun.

LI HUHG CKAHG AND GHING RFAOY TO NEGOTIATE Pekin, Dec. 14. Li Hung Chan?1 and Prince Ching have sent official notifi cation to the minis ters that they have received the promised documents au thorizing them to act on behalf of Chi na in the peace negotiations, and an nouncing that they are ready to pro ceed. The fact that Sir Ernest Satow, the British Minister to China has not yet received authority from his govern ment to sign the joint note has caused astonishment here, as it is felt that tihe other powers having agreed, there cannot be anything in the joint note to cause Great Britain to object suffi ciently to make her refuse to sign. Conger says he believes China will immediately accept the terms imposed and that she has it in her power to comply with a majority of them before spring, while the others can wait. On account of frost the court will not be able to return to Pekin nor will the troops be . able to leave until April, when, if the peace conditions are com plied with, it is believed all the allied force's except the legation guards -will leave for Pekin to remain until the coast between Taku and Shan Had Ku an is available. Conger personally believes that the Chinese have been taught a lesson by looting. Colonel Tullock reports the discovery of the body of a man who gave the British information reerardiner the treasure that had been hidden, as al leged by persons connected with the Chinese court during the recent fight. Hehad 'been decapitated. The British have not yet reported the discovery of the treasure, but their return is ex pected tomorrow. A. B. Conner, of Feltbn, Del., is a recent arrivial. ?

INSURGENTS SWEAR ALLEGIANCE A "scientific gentleman" has now ap peared with the theory that exercise is bad for the health 'ter middle age is reached. This is a jort of "Weary Willie" doctrine that would speedily bring the world to a standstill. Our petit friend Joey Daniels is fcertainly an "amusin' cuss," as Avte mus Ward remarked of his kangaroo. Joey's latest grievance is that Senator Pritchard will not support the Crum packer bill to cut down North Caroli.' na's representation in congress. jt iiiid-uexiMiia., uec. i. a scnooner -n we on xne Delaware river tonight struck the ferry boat Pennsylvania, plying between Philadelphia and Cam den, smashing the paddle wheel. The ferry boat swung around and there were shouts, "e are sinking," coupled with frantic efforts by the men to get life preservers. Several women faint ed. One man named Ridfield is miss ing. It is believed he scrambled aboard the schooner. The deck hands succeeded in reassuring the passengers and telling them the vessel was not in jured below the Tvater line. Seven passengers were cut and bruised and were taken to the hospital. A "professional shopper"is suggested ias a new profession for women. These days, however, when the shops are firammprt with lilirla-v omnAs c tat -nrA - - - qvuo V V . J V V v man prefers to be her own shopper. There is too much pleasure now to be had out of bargain hunting and sight seeing to delegate these joys to a "professional." A writer in the Tribune quotes an English critic to the effect that "In the States it is only necessary to write one book to be paragraphed, photographed and forgotten. "The same might be said of oulr heroes. They afe not good for even a magazine article a year af ter date. It would seem that our "pop ulace" is about as fickle as the French. KRUGER TRYING TO ARRANGE INTERVIEW WITH SALISBURY New York, Dec. 14. A dispatch to the Herald from Vienna says: In well informed circles here, persons are in clined to give credence to private dis patches from London to the effect that the conclusion of peace in South Afri ca is much nearer than Boer reports would lead them to believe. Reports have been received here to the effect that Kruger was trying to arrange an interview with Lord Salisbury. In view of the moderation of Mr. Cham berlain's (latest speech it is not consid ered imposible that such a meeting should take place. Four Hundred and Thirty Cease Hos tility to United States. Manila, Dec. 14. At Calauans-. rorov- ince of Laguna, yesterday 432 insurgents swore allegiamce to ithe American gov ernment, s-ince the arrival of a regi ment of infantry at Iloilo and the ar rest of a number of the most prominent residents of the province of Iloilo na tives all over the island are fleeing into the garrisoned! towns and offering to swear allegiance. M si ARTHUR L Washington, Dec. 14. Miaj. Gen. Mac- Arthur, governor-general, a month ago was not giving entire satisfaction, and the department was compelled 'to send him a despatch criticising his conduct of military operations. It is the general he lief of well informed officers that Gen. MacArthUT and Gen. E. A. Bates will return to the United 'States within a few months, and Maj.-Gen. Chaffee, now in command at Pekiinig, will be or dered1 to Manilla as Gen. Mlac Arthur' 3 successor. It is understood; that num erous staff changes in the Philippines wTill occur. ' CAPTURE OF BANK ROBBERS. New Orleans, Dec. 14. Tfbree arrests were made before daylight yesterday in the- vicinity of the sensational holdup on the Illinois Central last miiighit, but none of these suspects has been (identi fied. One lis a tall man and the other of medium) height. A 'black handkerchief was found) on ome of them'. A similar article was used1 for a mask .by one of the robbers. On' the other imam a fine gold watch, was discovered. 'Rolbbers in the holdup got away with two. 'watches. It is difficult to learn what 'the robbers got away with, .but it is said they managed to secure sev eral registered mail pouches and a large quantity of Christmas packages.

They extend but one mile in each direction from the public square. This limit of the city's territory must be considered in con sidering the census figures. Including the immediate suburb, that are in no natural way separated from the city, Asheville has today a population of nearly 20,000. The township figures, as we have shown in our news columns, exceed this. Th demand for Blue Ribbon lemon and! vanilla exftracts among ladles of refinement is the best evidence of true merit. Bryan and the silver cause are about to be attacked by a man who has been one of the strongest Bryanites and sil ver men ,in the country. This is ex toongressman A. J. Warner of Ohio. It is Bryan's purpose to have a series of meetings soon in favor of making the fight In 1904 on the issues of 1896 fend 1900. Hiis supporters in several places are arranging for demonstra tions on this line. Warner .is getting up a counter move for January 8, next, the Jackson battle day, and it is to take place at Columbus, Ohio. t USE I LOTUS I SLICED !
