Ac? cording to the best informat'on ootaln ab'e thj best proportionate numbers of Republican and Democratic elec? tors will be determined by a division of Maryland's eight votes. Half of the city of Baltimore and two of the 23 counties outs de of that city are still to be counted, but there la a strong Indication that the state's vote will be spilt. In any event the mar gin of victory will be so small that the state was cli.lmed tonight by the leaders of both parties. In 1904 Mary? land elected one Republican and seven Democratic electors. Missouri appeirs to be safely for Taft, to whom the latest returns give a plurality of 300. with the prospec.s that a few final districts will double 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 166 Democrats. Latest congressional returns Indicate that the next house will be composed of 216 Republicans and 175 Demo? crats?a majority for the Republicans of 41. The returns for the Socialist and Prohibition parties are still far from complete, but Indicate that the hopes of the Socialists have not been realised and that the Prohibitionists In certain sections where gains had been expect? ed have been disappointed. The fig? ures for the Independence party are also insufficient to give an accurate Idea of what the party accomplished. The Vote by States. New York.

Cincinnati, Nov. 5.?Speaking to the Cincinnati Comemrclal club of which he has been a member for 16 years, William Hiward Taft toinght sonud ed the keynote of prosperity for the country for the next four years. "Every business man who is obey? ing the law may go ahead with all the energy in his possession; every enter? prise which is within the statutes may proceed without fear of Interference from the administration, when acting legally; but all interests within the jurisdiction of the federal government may expect a rigid enforcement of the laws against dishonest methods," was the keynote of what Mr. Taft said. The speech which Mr. Taft delivered here tonight created u profound im? pression among the business men of the city, who are members of the club. The speech was preceded by expres? sions of friend8hiu and neighborly t<i Ucatlons on the part of the disting? uished guest and was responded to with the greatest enthusiasm. "Seriously," Judge Taft declared, "the Indications are already apparent and the hopes which I entertain are that the business communities and the investors of both foreign nations and among our people will take heart m carrying out the great enterprises which have been projected and be carried to a termination if the country is to reach Its full meed of prosperity and business attending. "Business men are to be shown the lines of legality and are to be directed In keeping with these lines, which have been emphasized during the last four years. Because men shall know that they are to conform to the laws upon the statute books and that no favors are to be expected for those who break the laws. "This shall be so that the men who conduct a legitimate business may un? derstand that the government is back of them and does not intend to do unythlng to Interfere with their leglti i mate advancement." After the* applause which met the declaration had subsided. Judge Taft added: "It is a question of the definite knowledge of the statutes and of their clear understanding which shall make ' the honest progress of our buKir.css possible. And that is in my belief all that Is necessary to make that prog? ress substantial and enduring." Judge Taft apologized for directing his words Into such a serious discus? sion. "I know the dufliculties that will arise-In many new careers," he added, "and I know that there will be ques? tions which will arise that I do not know of now, and that times will come when many of my friends here will shake their heads and say, 'Poor Bill.' but all I ask la for suspension of judg? ment until the situation may be un? derstood. It's decision* will rest upon the principles of sound and honest business policies which I have outlined and Its Intricacies may be ascertained and applied. These details will, I am sure, explain what may appear to b? errors of judgment and mistakes." Near Death'* Door. "I was near tc death's door. Trie doctor said he had done all he could; that my stomach was old and worn out. I was so weak 1 could not walk. 1 took Ml-o-na tab? lets, and have been eating hearty ever since, and I tm able to work like a tiger. I wish r could go and thank you myself.

"1 thank you sincerely for your cor? dial and courteous telegram of con? gratulation and good wishes. "William H. Taft." These messages were today exchang? ed between Lincoln, Neb., and Cin? cinnati. The message from Mr. Bryan came while Judge Taft was address? ing the general conference of the Wo? men's Foreign Missionary society of the Methodist Episcopal church. H? received the message on his return to his residence and answered It at once. In his address to the women Judge Taft gave an enthusiastic commenda? tion of foreign mission work. His experience in the Far East, he said, had taught him the value of this work la uplifting those people and he eomemnted upon the elevating effect of Christianity upon the heathen wo? men*. In the Philippines, Judge Taft asserted, the present degree of success in civilisation and government was made posssible through the Im.uence sf Christianity. Mixed Packed Cotton. Owing to number of mixed packed bale* of cottqn now being brought to market the local cotton buyers are rigidly enforcing the rule to buy no cotton except upon actual Inspection of the bale. Cotton Is now bought strictly on grade and it Is necessary to know that the bale throughout comes up to sample. Heretofore many cotton wagons have been stopped at the public weighers scales and only samples of the cotton brought up town to the buyers. Under the rule all cot? ton will be required to be brought up town for examination by the buyers. ?Bees Laxative Cough Syrup always brings quick relief to coughs, colds, hoarseness, whooping cough and all bronchial and throat trouble.

"Never a blow of the ?vhip. That would leave them mad with rage and humiliation. Animals, like children, must be kindly treated. A blow spoils all." "But as regard* children, you know." the reporter oo jected, "didn't Solomon say, "Spare the rod and spoil the child?" "Ah yes." said Mr. Davenport, '"but he didn't say it till after he had grown up."
