I. ' T. ELECTION RETURNS. Taft Will Have Over Three Hundred t % Electoral Vrotes. Washington, November 5.?Following is the complexion of the electoral college: States for Taft?California 10; Connecticut 7; Delaware 3; Idaho 3; Illinois 27;- Indiana 15; Iowa 13; Kansas 10; ;Maine 6; Massachusetts 16; Michigan 14; Minnesota 11; Missouri 18; Montana 3; New Hampshire 4; New Jersey 12; New York 39; North Dakota 4; Ohio 23; Oregon 4; Pennsylvania 34; Rhode Island 4; South Dakota 4; Utah 3; Vermont 4; Washington 5; West Virginia 7; Wisconsin 13; Wyoming 3.

Total 156. In doubt?Maryland 8. New York, Nov. 5.?The membership of the electoral college which iWll choose the next president of the United States remained in dispute ? . . when the official counters in Maryland tl; ' abandoned their task for the night. According to the best information obtainable the best proportionate num/' bers of Republican and Democratic electors will be det rmined by a division of Maryland's eight votes. Half of the city of Baltimore and two of the 23 counties outside of that city *V are still to be counted, but there is a strong indication that the State's vote will be split. In any event the marfc". gin of victory will be so small that 5jfv the State was claimed to-night by the 8?~vA leaders of both parties. In 1904 ^ Maryland elected one Republican and ^ seven Democratic electors. Missouri appears to be safely for Taft, to whom the latest returns give a plurality of 300, with the prospects that a few final districts will double Kj or triple these figures. Conceding Missouri to Taft and leaving Maryland to be split, between him and Bryan, the figures show 319 Republican electors assured and 156 SpO; Democrats. Latest congressional returns indicate that the next house will be composed of 216 Republicans and 175 Democrats?a majority for the Re? publicans of 41. The returns for the Socialists and Prohibitipn parties are still far from complete, but indicate that the hopes s.v. of the Socialists have not been re- 1 alized and that the Prohibitionists in certain sections where gains had been expected have been disappointed. The figures for the Independence party are also insufficient to give an accu-y. rate idea of what the party accomplished. Summary of Results. i Washington, November 5.?Election * fey-1 returns at 6 o'clock leave Maryland doubtful, with Taft leading by a slight margin and probability of division of State electoral vote, jgf In Missouri Taft leads by 479 on p|-7 incomplete returns.

Missouri for Taft. jSt. Louis, November 6.?Returns compiled by The Republic to-night give Taft the electoral vote of Missouri by a plurality of 2,182 over Bryan. These returns are complete from all but three of the 114 counties of the state and include estimates based on partial returns from the missing counties. The Globe-Democrat places the Taft plurality in excess of 3,700. According to The Republic's figures the presidential vote polled in Missouri in Tuesday's election was 19,274 higher than that polled in 1900, which was the high mark. Taft's vote is but 628 behind the Bryan vote of that year, and complete returns from the missing counties will probably send it ahead of the Bryan vote of eight years ago. The plurality of Hadley (Rep.) for governor is now placed at 17,651 and complete returns from the 3 missing counties will probably show that he had polled the highest vote ever . cast in the State for any office,. ; The legislature is now thought to be Democratic on joint ballot by four votes. 1 KRITCHFIELD'S BIG PRODUCTION TEN NIGHTS IN A BAR ROOM 9 Bamberg, Monday, Nov. 16th Under a Mammoth Waterproof Tent.

SOUGHT BY CANNIBALS. I Thrilling Experience of Jack London and His Wife. Melbourne, November 4.?News has just come to ban 1 by way of Sydney of a remarkab> adventure experienced by Jack London, the American novelist, and his wife, during a cruise they are now making in the Pacific. Mr. London's yacht, the Snark, it is stated, became disabled some weeks ago, and as the pieces of machinery required to reequip it had to come from Sydney, the vessel was laid up on the island of Guadalcanal Mr. and Mrs. London subsequently decided to board a labor-recruiting vessel, "the Minota. After joining this boat the novelist and his wife were carried ; one night into the Mallua reef, which is close to the dreaded cannibal is! land of Malaita, the gory doings of whose inhabitants outvie the wildest I fiction. j According to the story told to the ! Sydney press by the officers of H. M. jS. Cambrain, Sjr. and Mrs. London i were stranded on the reef for two idays and two nights, during which J time they were surrounded by the | canoes of the hideous man-eaters. 1 The novelist was fully armed, as were i the crew of the Minota, but the savages were so treacherous and numerous that watch day and night had to be kept to avert siirprise and a hideous death. j The safety of the party during the I ; time taken to refloat the Minota was I more due, however, to Mr. Caulfield, one of the few missionaries in the Pacific who have influence over the natives of Malaita. Mr. Caclfleld induced the mission boys to form a bodyguard for the protection of the Minota's passengers and crew. Eventually the Minota was made seaworthy again, and the peril disappeared. , . Hand Cut Off. Jonesville, Nov. 5.?Mr. Ed Littlejohn, a prominent planter of this section, suffered a serious injury Monday morning, his hand being caught in the machinery of a gin and severed from his arm. The accident made - ' - 1? i i. amputation or tne arm just auuvc mc elbow necessary* The operation, which was performed by Drs. W. O. Sduthren, H. T. Hames and M. W. Chambers, was a complete success and Mr. Littlejohn is now doing very well. / When the accident happened Mr. Littlejohn was attempting to remove lint cotton from a gin. His hand in some way-was caught in the machinery and cut off, his arm also being terribly lacerated. / ? , Store Burned at Parler. Elloree, Nov. 7.?The store of the Dantzler-Irick company at Parler, together with its entire contents, was destroyed by fire Thursday night about 12 o'clock. The building was ;a two-story frame structure and the j fire had gained too much headway ! before it was discovered for those i wSrt fnne^ht the flames to rescue any j of the contents. A trusty colored j servant slept in the second story and I he barely escaped with his life. The 1 origin of the fire appears to be uni known, but it seemed to have caught , in the first story. The concern conducted a general j merchandise business and bought | cotton and had been in business about three years, succeeding the late C. C. Williams. The postoffice was located in the burned building and its entire fixtures, which had been recently installed, together with all the stamps i on hand and forms, were destroyed. J The loss is estimated at about $6,1000, which is partially covered by | insurance. j Raid Costs Three Lives. t .? Birmingham, Alabama, November 7.?A raid on an alleged "blind tiger" tonight cost three lives, and one mortal ininrv. Policeman Little, Mr. Womack and a child of J. W. Harris were kiiled, and J. W. Harris was fatally injured. The raid was at Third avenue and Eighth street Policeman Little and Jones had gone ; to" the suspected place, - which is a private residence. Jones remained in front of the house while Little knocked at the back door, and when Womack, who was stopping there, opened it and saw the officer, he began firing. The officer returned the fire and both were killed. Harris, who owned the house, heard Jones coming from the front, and when he also began shooting the officer returned the fire. Harris was fatally shot and his child was struck. by a stray bullet. It is said that the occupants of the house were just sitting down to supper. Fire in Orangeburg. Orangeburg, November 7.?The biggest fire in point of area and in the number of buildings burned that Orangeburg has. had in years occurred here to-day at 9 o'clock, when ten four-room negro tenement houses belrknorinor *r? Mr. R. Wannamaker wv ? i were totally destroyed. The houses were located near the Coast Line depot on both sides of a court, and as access could be had by the fire department only from one end of the court, only four were saved, there being fourteen in all. The loss is about $4,000 with no insurance. Several months ago Mr. Wannamaker had a fire loss of over $1,200 without insurance. -f ? Democrats Gain in Indiana. Indianap lis, Ind., Nov. 4.?A radical change in Indiana's representa tion In tne national nouse vi ici?csentatives is the most striking feature of yesterday's election. The latest unofficial returns, complete, give the Democratic party eleven members and the Republicans two, a gain of seven members for the Democrats. Taft carried the state for president by about 8,000.* Thomas R. Marshall and the entire Democratic ticket will probably be elected by a plurality ot about fifteen thousand. The state legislature will probably be Democratic, which means a Demmocratic successor to Senator Hemenway will probably be chosen. In this connection, the name of John W. Kern is mentioned. / WHEN YOUR S Do you dream of the comforl "when your ship comes in?" waited? Still waiting? He have to wait?
