They already aggregate, nearly $400,000.W and the department has reliable information that a multitude of additional claims, aggregating very large sums, are being prepared to be Hied and pushed against the treasury. That a very large proportion of those claims have no jnst foundation either in fact or in law*, heins presented by persons, or the representatives of persons, who were not loyal to the irovern* ment during the war. is every day made clear in the evidence evolved in their defense.. Unless congross shall put some new barrier between the treasury and these claims, it is impossible to predict the amov.nt the government may be called upon to pay thereon."

v£ The report says that numerous prosecutions have been begun opaiustj. trusts, combinations, etc., but these corporations have hedged themselves in'with great ear»» and skill 0 as tc avoid the law if possible. Cases now pending will determine the validity of the statute, and if declared valid,the evidence alm»dy aeeumu luted will be'valuable.

Cleveland has '278 electors, or all from Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connectieut, Delaware, KU»rida. (leorgia,1 Illinois, Indiana. Kentucky, Louisiana,

Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New .lersey, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas. Yir* ginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin, and also six from Michigan and one from Ohio.

Harrison has 14K electors, including all from Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota. Montana, Nebraska. New Hampshire, IVnnsylvania, Kliodo Island, South Dakota. Vermont. Washington and Wyoming, with eight electors from Michigan, twenty-three from Ohio, three from Oregon and one from North Dakota.

Weaver's electors number twentythree. lie has the complete votes of Colorado. Idaho, Kansas and Nevada, with one vote from Oregon and two from North Dakota.

It is unprecedented that, the electoral vote of four states should be divided. The arrangement for choosing electors by eontrressionaI districts is responsible for the division in Michigan. Fusion on one elector by democrats and populists caused the result in Oregon, and the peculiarity of the North Dakota fusion led to the success of two Weaver electors there. The division in Ohio was apparently due to a misconception on tiie part of a few hundred voters of the proper method of mark* ing the Australian ballot.

Cleveland's majority over both competitors is 1PJ.

MAY NOT BE ADMITTED

Strong I'rohabUlty That No New State* Will lie CretUed At This Session. WASHINGTON, Dec. U.—-If the bill for the admission of New Mexico, now on the senate calendar, were passed Delegate Joseph would light it in the house beeausc of a provision contained in it that nothing but tho English language be taught in the public schools. Mr. Joseph says that the people of the territory would not couscnt to come into the union under an act containing that provision. There seems to be little probability of the senate striking it out, and this fact inclines the democrats not to try to admit the territory during this congress. The course followed as to New Mexico will probably be followed as to Arizona.

1 C-lltcvr,o. Dec. P.--'i'lie thr«»atened jKtrike ot the telegraph operators on the Roek Island railroad became a reality Thursday morning tit 10 o'clock.

Chief llaniscy of the Ordt of Railroad Telegraphers orei*1red the a I kout. He says that «V»O men obe\cd the mandate and left their keys, while (leneral Mattagi'r St. John of the Kock Island declares »nly tifty men quit the company's service, lie expresses the opinion that the strike will be of short duration and that the railroad will be vietorh »us.

Can** of th« Si t*ili*».

The cause of the strike, which was delinitelv decified upon Wetlncsdav

night after the refusal of Manager John to recognize the committee as representatives of the company's em* ploves,. is the claim that the Kock 1 si- I and reiuses to give the order the. same recognition as is accorded it by other

The greatest, point of interest is the possibility of the operators being joined by the members of the other railroad labor organizations of the Roek. Islam! company. Karlv in the morning Mr. Knmsey tind several of hi* colleagues paid a visit to the switchmen's headquarters. While no details as to the result of the conference were made public it is intimated that the meeting was one of the friendliest kind ami that the switchmen arc not averse to helping their brother laborers Mr. Ramsey hud also telegraphic communications from the ehiefsof the various railroad orders.

It is believed that- the chiefs will pay a visit to Mr. Ramsey within the. next two or three days.

LIVES LOST ON THE LAKES

The Season dunt Closed Heavy in Fatal-ities-Property Owners *stiller. CHICAGO, Dec. II. During the season of navigation just closed ninety-live lives were lost in navigating the great lakes. Of this number twent.v-six were sacrificed on the Western Reserve, eighteen on the Oilcher anil tillccn on the steamer Nashur. which waterlogged on Lake Huron. The remainder of the ninety-live comprised the crews of the schooner Ostrich and the City of To-j Icdo. lost on Lake Michigan, and the. occasional loss of a sailor unable to reach shore from the numerous wrecks during fall storms. The death list is much longer than for many years in the lake marine.

In property the losses of the season aggregate S'«,0*»0.0uo. These ligures are taken from a revised list of losses. The losses from foundering, while not numerous, exceed those from any other one cause, owing to the great value of the two steel steamers in the list. Counting cargoes, the losses from foundering amount to SM-SI..*00.'

Following this steps are being taken to hold a waterways convention in Washington similar to the waterways convention in Detroit a year ago. which attracted wide attention.

Jf-lts

Branch train crashed into the rear end of an Kaston local, completely telescoping the rear car. fatally injuring one woman and seriously injuring nine other passengers of the same couch. The accident was due to a delay of fifteen minutes to the trains, caused by the Central railroad ferryboat crashing into a transportation boat in the fog in

New York bay. The lady who was probably fatally injured is Miss Oileray, of tilizabeth, N. J. she was terribly lacerated about the body and received internal injuries. The story of the accideut as learned from the officials of the road at the actual scene is as follows:

Panic on the I'erry.

At 1 o'clock* the Washington tlyer, Easton local and Long Kranch express trains leave the foot of Liberty street. A dense fog hungover the river and the ferry traffic was being carried on with the usual carefulness. The Central fer-ry-boat had reached mid-stream and was steaming along slowlv when suddenly one of the Central company's heavily

Davcti-i laden transportation boats loomed up la.. Fort before the engines could he reversed and there was a terrib'e crash. Passengers rushed wildly about from side to side of the boat and the greatest confusion prevailed. Quietness was finally restored, but it was then discovered that the front rail of the ferryboat had been carried away ami a few windows broken. The panicstricken passengers were huddled together in the ladies' cabin, shrieking ami crying, when the captain appeared among them and assured them there wa- nothing to fear. The boat proceeded more slowly to Conununipaw ami arrived there fifteen minutes late.

Well Prepared.

The O. T. is said to be in splendid condition financially-. There are #1.000 members throughout, the Cnited States, and each assessment means in the treasury. Chief Ramsay says they have enough money in the treasury at prcs- ered ent to pay each operator on the Kock Island ami P».. C. R. A N. roads his regular salary lor one year. The order. I hey say. intern's to pay the strikers their salaries, and if necessary the organization will continne the strike through the world's fair. The order is at present paving salaries to several men who lost their positions in the last, strike.

The three trains were quickly made up and the Washington train WHS soon ready to draw out of the depot. Then followed the Kaston loeal in charge of Engineer Wolverton. of Kli/.abeth.

Cause of the Aeeldenl.

•The Washington train had passed Danforth avenue within live minutes at a terrific rate of speed. Engineer Wolverton was runnimr more cautiously. and had scarcely passed Danforth avenue when a rear hr'ikeman discovthe body of a woman lying on the track about *»u yards below the station. He pulled the bell cord ami th*' crew hurried back to car** for the supposed injured woman.
