PER FUK3S 4S3OCIA.TIOW.

New York, November 10. Cleveland polled 277 votes in the Electoral College, Harrison 135, and Genera! Weaver (the Farmers' Alliance candidate) 22. The Southern States voted solid for Cleveland, as also did Connecticut, Washington, Montana, and Wisconsin^ The Democratic party party gained everywhere. The Senate will probably be composed of 45 Demo crats, 38 Republicans, and five of Farmers' Alliance men. The result of the election is considered to have sounded the death knell of the Mc- Kinley tariff. New York State sends two Democrats to the Senate for the first time in fifty years. Harrison welcomes his defeat—except for party reasons. Washington, November 10. Mr Cleveland obtained 231 votes in the Electoral College, and General Harrison only 150. The Democrats secured control of both houses, and have also elected the Governors of fif teen States. Mr Stevenson, the Demo cratic candidate, was elected Vice- President. He said that the elections indicated a general revolt of labourers and farmers against the McKinley tariff, for which they had to thank the machinations of Tammany Hall. Berlin, November 10. The " Vossiche Zeitung " claims that the German vote decided the Presi dential election. London, November 11.

CABLE RATES.

London, November 9. Sir John Pender met Sir Saul Samuel, Agent-General for New Siuth Wales, *o discuss the claim made by the Indian Government for increased transit of fifteen centimes per word on Australian cables. Sir John said he | thought the claim was inequitable since India had already agreed to ac cept 35 centimes for a five-shilling word tariff. The Agents-General have decided to apply to Lord Ripon, Colonial Secretary, for an opportunity to interview him and Lord Kimberley, Secretary for India, when they will urge that the demand of the Govern-1 ment of India is inopportune, un reasonable, and unfair, as the traffic on the Indian lines is largely the result of the reduced rates secured by colo-, nial subsidies. They will also point out that if the demand is insisted upon, it may lead to a return to higher rates. DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH. London, November 10.

To-day an inquest was held on the remains of Ah Cuing, a Chinese gardener w>.o >lied in the asylum on Wednesday.

On examina by Dr Fooks, it was found that a number of his ribs were broken. Nothing could be done to reduce the fracture, owing to the violent conduct of the patient, and he succumbed. The postmortem by Dr Fooks, who is superintendent, showed that seven ribs were broken* the breast bone frastured, and a blood vessel pierced by a broken rib. The jury found that death resulted from hemorrhage oc casioned by the fractured ribs, but could nob say how the injuries were brought about. . A meeting of employers was held last night for the purpose of deciding upon a day for universally observing the half holiday, but no decision could be arrived at, anil the meeting adjourned sine die. A general opinion was expressed that the difficulty could never be solved until the day for closing was fixed by the Legis-1 lature. Blenheim, November 11.

"OUR STREETS."

TO THE EDITOR.

Sm,—Like Citizen (your correspondent of last night), I must congratulate you on speaking your mind. lif the case of your leader of the 11th, " Our streets," Iquire agree with you that the larrikin element of Ashburton is very bad, and I myself have on several occasions seen very lad behaviour, and also heard very bad language to young women passing up or down Kast street, to say nothing of; their blocking up the footpath. There is not a Saturday night passes but the footpath is blocked up at several places, especially at bavis's corner, and it is impossible for females to pass without going upon the road. Hoping the police will take the few friendly remarks you have given them in your leader, and from to-night keep the footpaths a little more passable for female and other passengers,—l am etc , Another Citizen.

TO <RE EDITCjIv.

Sir, —As the nature of my business, and my restless disposition leads me to be a good deal about the streets, and I am therefore in a position to jpdge, I am certain larrikinism does not abound therein to warrant such a leading article as appeared in your last night's issue.
