King Carlos of Portugal, Also to Meet
King Edward to Confer Concerning1
Concessions In Africa. I
London, England, November S.
King Edward's Imperial nephew,
the German emperor, arrived at San
ilringham today and will remain there
during the roming week. He Is ac
companied by a small suite, including
the Imperial chancellor and two phy
sicians. Though the visit ostensibly
is purely a personal one there is
every reason to believe that tho meet
ing of the two inowirchs will result
In important lnte.-nutloiutl understand
ings, especially as regs'.rds South
Africa, nt.i! nor, p rrv iinrly Tela
goa Bay, which Is so vitally Import
ant to Great Britain as an outlet for
her newly ncqulred colonies. The
presence of King Carlos of Portugal
In England gives strength to this sur
mise concerning the importance of
Emperor William's visit. The Portu
gese government, it is understood, is
willing to transfer some portions of
its South African territory to British
rule. Germany, however, is under
stood to be strenuously opposed to
British trade securing such an advan
tage, at any rate, unless Portugal is
willing to placate Germany by grant
ing her some similar concession, and
It is believed that before the emperor
and King Carlos leave England a bar
gain will ho arranged.
Reviews Dragoons.
The kaiser arrived on the Hohcn
zollcrn at 8 o'clock this morning. He

fast on the Hohcnzollern. As the kai
ser stepped on shore at 10 o'clock, he
was given an immense salute from the
warships. He then reviewed the first
British dragoon guards, of which he is
colonel. The review was held in a
driving rain.
Second Class Rates Again.
Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 8. Second

tory Is that holders of second-class

TO CONTEST PARDEE'S ELECTION
Republicans Concede that Lane Actually Received More
Votes than the Successful Candidate
THOUSANDS OF THE LABOR PARTY VOTE
WERE THROWN, OUT BY PRECINCT OFFICERS.
O ii
By the Present Count Pardee Has a Majority of Only About 1700 Lane's
Run Most Remarkable as California Gave McKinley 39,000 Majority
Labor Unions Have Raised $15,000 to Assist in Contest.
San Francisco, Nov. 8. Franklin E.
Lane stated this morning that he had
secelved wires from every county of,
the state from labor unions and dem-
ocrats offering money to the amount
of $15,000 to contest Pardee's election.
Lane says he will contest.
Advices from various parts of tho
state show that several thousands of
ballotB cast at Tuesday's election were
thrown out by precinct officers be
ause voters marked with a cross
spaces on the ballot left vacant be
cause of failure of political parties to
make nominations. This operates al
most exclusively to the disadvantage
of Lane, democratic candidate for
governor, as he received the labor
vote, and It was that party which fail
ed In many counties to nominate a
full ticket-
At tho recent stage of the count
Pardee has a majority of only about
1700 votes, and It would therefore ap
pear that lano actually received
more votes than the successful can
didate. This causes intense regret in
democratic and labor party ranks, as
Lane was looked upon in his run as
a most remarkable rerformance in the
state which gave McKinley 39,000 ma
jority. Gavin McNab ruefully remarked to
day. "Wo had a majority of the votes,
but they have a majority of the legal
ballots."
The wrongly marked ballots are re
jected under a ruling of tho state sir
prome court and there seems to be no
redress.

world's most famous pedestrians will
start on their long journey in the an
nual international six-day go-as-you-please
race for the championship of
the world. The contest takes places
in Industrial Hall. While it is hardly
probable that George Llttlewood's
wonderful record of 031 miles Is going
to he broken, the indications are that
the record that Pat Cavanaugh made
In last year's race is going to get
in awful jolt. This year the field is
made up of men who all hold records
and who are in condition to stand a
fast pace from the start. Among tho
men who are entering and trained for
the event are Pat Cavanaugh, of Tren
ton; John Glick, of Philadelphia;
Pete Hegelman, of Germany; Tom
Howarth, of England; '"Kid" West,
