A ovrment of Troop to the South ern Winter Camps. Special to The Tklbgbam. Washington, D. C, Nov. 8. At the War Dep irtment it was stated yester day that the departure of Oeueral Lee for Savannah would be followed by a rapid movement of the troops from the North for the winter canops in the South. Secretary Alger did not go home to vote in the election in his State, and was seen yesterday at the War Department. He stated that it would only be a short time before Camp Meade is entirely abandoned. Tomorrow the Connecti cut troops will start for the Camp at Summerville, S. C, and on Friday the 201st New York regiment will be sent to the winter camp at Spartan burg, S. C. Some of the Pennsylva nia troops, according to the Secretary will be sent to the camp at Summer ville, while others will be sent to Ath ens, Georgia. Troops will begin to move from Lexington, Ky., and from Knoxville, within a few days. It was reported at the War Department yes terday that the Second West Virginia regiment is prepared to move South, and will leave Harrisburg, Pa., Sun day afternoon for Greenville, S. C. Secretary Alger said that the work of mustering out the Third Virginia regiment would be followed within a few days by the mustering out of the Second Virginia. Quite a number of the Third Virginia passed through Washington city yesterday. The question cf a National Depart ment of Health is being discussed by the Southern Press, and is attracting much attention among Southern people coming to Washington. It is thought that a bill will be prepared and pre sented to Congress for the establish ment of such a Board of Health. Phy sicians from the states of -N. Carolina, S. Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, as a rule endorse the suggestion. At the Marine hospital service in this city, which now, to some extent takes the place of a national board of health, while the surgeons and assistant sur geons are not fully prepared to en dorse the suggestion, yet they believe that it is one worthy of consideration by the press, especially in the south. In the absence of the national board they think it would prove advanta geous for the southern states to have each a board of health. At present many of the states do not have a board that is an independent board of health not connected with any other department of the state government. The officials seem to favor the Flor ida plan, and think it would be well for the physicians of other southern states to study the system in vogue in that state. The interest manifested yesterday in the result of the balloting in the dif ferent states was very great. In the executive departments but little busi ness was done, and everywhere that men met the political situation was the sole topic of discussion. Very few clerks, or officials, from the war. navy and state departments went hone to vote. W ith the exception of Assistant Secretary of War Meikeljohn, who votes in Nebraska, not a single offi cial from either of these three great departments of the government went home to vote. It is said that Secre tary Hay does not claim a residence in any state, but claims his home in the District of Columbia. Secretary Al ger was prevented from going to Mich igan on the account of pressure of bus inessit is whispered that the true reason Alger did not go home to vote was because he is not over-anxious for the success of Pingreeism in his state. Secretary Long, of the navy department did not deem it worth while to go home, as Massachusetts in any event was sure to give an overwhelming republican majority for the State ticket and the congressional district in which the Secretary votes is also heavily repub lican. Col. Harries of the District of Co lumbia National Guard, and a volun teer in the Spanish war, who spent several weeks at Asheville, N. C, on account of his health, is rapidly im proving, and his doctor thinks he will be all right in a short time. Among North Carolina people in Washington yesterday were J. H. Southgate; T. J. Ogburn, Summer ville, and M.H, Pride, Mt. Holly. Greensboro Juniors vs Reidsville. The Greensboro Junior Foot-ball t?am left at noon today for Reidsville, to play the team there this afternoon. The Juniors here have some good ma terial, and if well practiced would do some dood playing, but they have a very unfair show today, as two of their men have never been in the line-up of this team, However, we expect to hear that they won over Reidsville today.

The News Males Everybody Peel Comforrab'e. GUILFORD COUNTY'S GREAT GAIN Carolina, Carolina, Heaven's Bless Ings Attend-tier" The Beturns Indicate the Truth of It. As foreshadowed in the Telegram Extra this morning, the grand old state of North Carolina stands 6 nee more in the white man's column. The indications are that the judicial ticket is a winner to the tune of twenty to thirty thousand majority. Great gains were made every where heard from, and this fact warrants the belief that the majbrity is something to be proud of. Definite news today comes in slow waiting for official returns. The legislature is safely democratic in both branches by a good working majority, , if indeed, the majority is not overwhelming. Kitchin is elected to congress by about two thousand, while Brooks for solicitor carries the district by possi bly two thousand five hundred. This is all good news and highly satisfac tory to all lovers of good government. While many counties in the state have simply outdone themselves, Old Guilford asks you to take one good, square look at her. John Wilson is elected to the Senate by 1111 majority, Kennett and Bunch to the House by a few votes less, while the lowest men on the ticket are above 800. and that where there was tremen dous efforts made to defeat them. These were the candidates for clerk and sheriff. For the office of sheriff J. Henry Gilmer made a gain of about 1,500 votes over the democratic vote of two years ago A dispat :h from Wilmington today says Davis is elected to the senate from New Hanover by 1,000 majority. A despatch to Judge J. G. Bynum from Morganton says: The returns show Burke county to be democratic by one hundred majority. Hon. Theo. F. Kluttz will represent the Seventh district in Congress, be ing elected by considerably more than three thousand majority. Rowan county alone gives him in the neigh borhood of l,4n0. A Novel Mouse Nest. Mr. R. G. Burgess brought to the Telegram effice yesterday the most pe culiar mouse nest it has ever been our lot to see. The nest was made of a sweet potato, nicely hollowed out by the sharp teeth of a mother mouse and was neatly lined with strings and straw. The potato was about three and one half inches in diameter and what was left of it was perfectly sound. In the nest were nine tiny mice who had not yet learned to crawl and they were a pretty but far from lovable crowd. The nest was found in Mr. Burgess' pantry by a colored servant who, being a female, raised the unearthly yell that is inevitable when a wot an and mouse discover each other in the same house. Mr. Burgess offered us the nest, mice and all as a present but the Telegram doesn't own a cat. The Turks Appeal. By Cable to Thk Telegram. Constantinople, Nov. 9 England, France and Italy have accepted Rus sia's proposal to appoint Prince George, of Greece, high commissioner of the powers for the Island of Crete. TheTurkish government has appealed and Germany and Austria are against the proposal, but the appeal has been ineffectual. Death of Sarah Reed. Emory College, Oxford, Nov. 8 The home of Professor and Mrs. M. T. Reed is saddened by the death of their little five year old daughter, Sa rah. The buriarnook place yesterday afternoon at Oxford. Train Hand Badly Hurt. Lyons, Nov. 8. Mr. Ed. McDaniel, a flagman oa the Georgia and Ala bama road, was tripped-up at Alamo yesterday by the air brake catching in his overalls and throw lag him across the track. One car passed over his ankle, crushing it badly. It may be necessary to amputate his leg. Pretty and Good Natured Speeches - at the Court House. About noon today the court house was filled with ardent and enthusiastic people to hear the candidates, both the successful ones and the defeated ones!, thank the people for "what they had done for them." . The first in order was Joel Henry Gilmer, who briefly thanked tfie people for the splendid vote given him for the office of sheriff. His opponent Sheriff Hoskins, was absent. The came Mr. Nelson, for clerk. His opponent, Clerk Ragan, was absent. Then Mr. G. H. McKinney thanked the people and his opponent, Mr. Hodgin, was absent. ( We do not mean to say these gentle men were absent intentionally. We just note the fact that they were not there. ) Register of Deeds Kirkman made a neat speech thanking his friends for their suffrage, and was followed byhi defeated opponent, Mr. Stratford, who spoke in graoeful manner of the good feeling he had for all concerned. Messrs. Wilson, Kennett and Bunch made short speeches and were followed by Messrs. Douglas and Forbis ( Mr. Bradshaw was absent). Mr. Douglas' speech was full of good humor and wit and was much enjoyed. But the crowning feature of the oc casion was when Capt. Forbis thanked the people for their support and closed by saying: "What are we to do? The best thing I can see is to get in the middle of the road and go home," meaning back to the democratic party. This was received with thunderous ap plause. As Capt. Forbis left the stand Mr. Wilson called: "Capt. Forbis, let me welcome you home," and the two men clasped hands. Mr. Wilson then made a short, but eloquent speech of thanks. A. L. Brooks was loudly called for, and net being present, Mayor Taylor was called and responded in his usual happy vein. As he closed Mr. Brooks the successful candidate for solicitor entered the room and was tendered an ovation. He spoke as you all know he can speak, for a few minutes and was cheered to the echo. The meeting lasted about ah hour and was a verit able love feast. However, before Mayor Taylor's speech Chairman A. M. Scales was called, and the audience to a man cheered him as an army would the gallant hero of a hard battle. By the way, .Mr. Scales is the hero of this fight and the people recognise it. He came forward and spoke of the vic tory, reading from the returns that the whole ticket is elected, the legisla tive by 1100 majority and the lowest man on the county ticket by over 800.

In her heart love and duty strove for mastery, and duty won. "No man shall wed me," sheexclaim ed, with suffused eyes and quivering lips, "who does not promise me that if he is ever President of the United States he will use his influence to have battle-ships christened wfh water!" Such was the ardor of his passion, that Algeron hesitated not a moment " I promise," he cried, and fell up on liis knees. Detroit Journal. Thomas Post, president of the Post Glass Manufacturing Company, at Muncie, Ini., was killed yesterday by being struck with a locomotive. BOTH SIDES CLAIM HOUSE, Republicans Sustain Losses In New York, NOT A NATIONAL LANDSLIDE. Roosevelt Is flost Probably Elected Governor of New York Effects of The Quay Scandal. Bj Wire to Th Tilkbah. New York, Nov. 9. The last returns indicate chat Roosevelt carries the state by sixteen thousand. Washington, Nov. 9. Inthe strength displayed by the democrats through out the nation, from New York to the West, resulting in overcoming the re publican majority of the lower house, there was a tearing down of the repub lican pluralities. Republican strongholds in the wes tern states, especially, showed demo cratic gains in districts through which the president passed on his speech making tour to Omaha. In Nebraska the' fusion governor is elected and three democratic and re publican congressmen. In the south east, where the president retained gold democrats in office democratic delegates are elected to congress. New Mexico, Arizona and Ohio elected their usual quota, sixteen republicans and five democratic congressmen. In Pennsylvania, where the Quay scandals were expected to overthrow the republican machine, the state went overwhelmingly republican, electing twenty-one republican and eight dem ocratic congressmen. NEXT HOUSE REPUBLICAN. New York, Nov. 9. The Evening Sun says the next House will be safely republican, though the present major ity of fifty-five over all will be greatly reduced. The republicans have lost in New York and Illinois, but have gained chiefly in Nebraska, Kansas and California. The democrats claim the House by a small majority. New York, Nov. 9 Richard Croker says he has not given up hope yet of Van Wyok's election, but that he still pins his faith to later returns. Chaun cey Depew and General Howard Woodford are spoken of as leading senatorial candidates. CHAIRMAN'S ESTIMATES. Washington, Nov. 9. Babcock, of the rebublican congressional commit tee says his estimates to noon today, indicate at the very least a majority of twenty-five or thirty in congress.

Walcott's plurali ty is eighty thousand. RHODE ISLAND. Providence, Nov. 9. Republican congressmen are elected. CONNECTICUT. New Haven, Nov. 9. State officers, legislature and congressmen are re publican. OHIO. Columbus, Nov. 9. Republican plu rality sixty thousand, more than double Bushnell.

Seattle, Nov. 9 The republicans made heavy gains. GRAND DEMOCRATIC RALLY Tonight At the Academy of Music. Beautiful Jim Key, the celebrated democratic educated horse, whose rep utation in the north as an unchange able democrat is well known and who has made such a sensation here that even Mayor Taylor, with many of our most prominent men, urge the people in a signed testimonial to go and see this marvellous performance of Beau tiful Jim Key, who predicted at Ral eigh, Winston and here the great vic tory achieved yesterday, expects to en tertain a crowded house of good dem ocrats who want to hear something about their newly-elected officials and who want to give vent to their enthu siasm by cheering 'for a democratic horse and the success of the great land slide. So be sure and be on hand at eight o'clock, if you want to have a good time and at the same time see the most wonderful and astonishing per formance you ever witnessed in your life.

Dave travelled in a sleeper, but Wesley took especial pains not to get in one of those "bed cars" as he call ed them. Wesley was verv much sud- prized at the result of the election.
