Michigan.
Dkteoit, Nov. 3. At midnight it was
was generally conceded tbot Michigan
baa gone Republican by 25,000 to 50,000
plurality. The latter la the figure given
out at that hour by Chairman Ferry, of
the republican state committee. Chair
man Baker, of the fusion committee, de
clinea at thin hoar to make any state'
ment. Secretary Alward, of the repnbli
can committee, cliams the election of all
12 congressman, but the democrats still
hope to save some of their candidates,
The Tribune (free silver), on the basis
of the scattering returns thus far re
ceived, istimat38 McKinley's plurality
in the state, outside of this county, at
29,000. '
California.
San Francisco, Nov. 3. If McKinley
keeps up the average shown in precincts
already counted in California, there is
no doubt be will carry the state by a
comfot table majority. The' Republican
state central committee , claims he will
have 30,000 the best of it, and six Re
publican congressmen out of seven have
been elected. ,
In Eastern Oregon.
Spokane, Wash., Nov. 4. Eastern
Washington, according to latest esti
mates, will give Bryan 7,000 majority,
and the state ticket nearly the same.
Rogers, People's party candidate for
governor, is not behind the ticket, and
the congressional candidates, Lewis and
Jonee, are nearly even with Bryan.
May Require official Const,
Chicago, Nov. 4. The Associated
Press received the following from Joseph
M. Carey, from Cheyenne:
"Wyoming is in great doubt; I think
McKinley will have a small majority.
It may require the official count to de
cide who is elected."
Bryan. Clean Sweep.
New Orleans, Nov. 3. Election re
turns are coming in slowly, but the in
dications are that the democrats have
made a clean sweep, electing the con
gressional delegation, and, that Bryan
Las carried the state by not less than
30,000 majority.
Bryan's Majorit lu MUalssIppl.
Jackson, Miss.. Nov. 3. Mississippi
gives Bryan a majority of 50,000. Thef
vote for WatBon will not exceed 10,000.
The seven democratic candidates for
congress are elected by majorities rang
ing from 1000 to 5000.
Democratic Claims in Illinois.
Chicago, Nov. 3. At 9 :30 the chair
man of the Democratic committee had
received no reports from the county
chairmen. Press reports indicated a
majority of 50,000 for McKinley in Cook
county, and this was generally conceded
by the committee.
No reports on which even an estimate
of the state, outside of Cook could be
made bad been received, but the com
mittee still claims 35,000 for Bryan. The
vote by precincts runs 10 per cent below
the registration. This bears out the re
port that the returns so far received are
only on straight Democratic and Re pub
lican tickets, omitting the People's
Party; which the committee counts on
for 25,000 votes.
Altgeld, in sixty precincts, has run
3000 ahead of Bryan, and on this basis
the committee claims his election, even
though Bryan should lose the state by
20,000. . Secretary Nelson says he will
concede nothing until he has received a
report from his own chairmen, and these
are not expected before midnight.
LIE'S fROTEST HEEDED.
Proceedings In the Competitor
Trial
Temporary Snspeuded.
Havana, Nov. 3. Owine. to a notice
of protest from Consul General Lee,
taking exception to the new court mar
tial of tbe Competitor's crew, begun in
Fortress Cabana recently, the proceed
ings in the case have been temporarily
suspended. A summons has, however,
been published in the local. papers re
quiring various witnesses to appear and
file written evidence against' tbe prison
ers. ,''"
. One member of the expedition, George
Ferran, who after landing surrendered
to the British authorities and was par-
decree, has just been arrested to await
the trial as a witness. .
I James Brown, a British; subject, and
prominent in Havana business circles,
has been imprisoned upon" a political
charee. - i
The report that Antonio Maceo.
crossed the military line after attacking
Artimesa and being repulsed with great
loss, according to the official account is
again denied. It is stated that the in
surgents on that occasion acted without
unison, disobeyed orders, made no at
tack upon the forts and were unable to
capture the Spanish occupants. Maceo,
tbe day after bombarding Artimesa, in
conversation with a member of a firm
near his forces, sustained and admitted
that it was no easy matter to cross the
military line. Spanish forces are slowly
occupying positions Maceo may have in
tended to use, and be is saii to be rest
ing in order to care for the wounded.
There are two versions as to the
whereabouts of Maceo. One has it that
Maceo and Rubia are in the mountains
on the limits of Cabanass and Cayaja
bos, which constitute part of Sierra de
Rosa Rio. Another report says he is in
the range of mountains of the Sierra,
south of San Cristobal.
Tne Spanish troops are continuing to
advance westward toward the insurgent
strongholds, without receiving any as
sistance from the troops stationed along
the military line which are being still
farther strengthened.
Electric Bitters.
Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gener
ally needed when the languid, exhausted
feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid
and sluggish and the need of a tonic and
and alterative is felt. A prompt use of
this medicine has often averted long and
perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medi
cine will act more surely counteracting
and freeing the syBtem from tbe malar
ial poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con
stipation, Diiziness yield to Electric Bit
ters. 50c and $1.00 per bottle at Blake
ley & Houghton's drug store.
This Dear tbe Final Figure.
Practically complete returns from all
counties of Oregon, except five, give Mc
Kinley a plurality of 3156.
No returns, have been received from
Crook, Curry, Lake, prant and Harney
counties. Crook county will undoubt
edly show a majority of 100 for McKin
ley, while Harney, Grant and Curry
combined will probably give Bryan a
majority .of 300, which will leave Mc
Kinley's plurality in the state about
3000. . ,
Clackamas has run her plurality for
McKinley up to 290, Clatsop will give
more than 7UU, Marion still stands at
about 400, Morrow is good for CI, and
Washington for 500..
Polk, Douglas and Josephine are for
Bryan .by small pluralities, and Union,
Jackson and Linn give him large pi a
Talkies.
'Old Feople.
Old people who require medicine to
regulate the bowels and kidneys will
find the true remedy in Electric Bitters.
This medicine does not stimulate and
contains no whisky nor other intoxicant,
but acts as a tonic and alternative. It
acts mildly on the stomach and Dowels,
adding strength and giving tone to the
organs, thereby aiding Nature in the
performance of the functions. Electric
Bitters is an excellent appetizer and aids
digestion. Old people nnd it lust exact
ly what they need. Price 50 cents and
$1 00 per bottle at Blakeley & Hough
ton's Drug Store.
Motlee to Teachers.
Notice is herby given that for the pur
pose of making an examination for all
persona who may offer themselves
candidates for teachers of the schools of
this countv, the board of examiners
thereof will hold a public examination
at The Dalles, beginning Wednesday,

Result In Kentucky.
Louisville, Nov. 4. The situation in
Kentucky is materially changed by the
receipt of late and complete returns
from out in the state, which indicate the
result is in doubt, with a slight chance
in favor of a Democratic victory. At
Republican beaaquarters, it is still
claimed the state has gone for McKin
lsy, and Chairman Roberts' latest esti
mate is a majority of 2,000. Tonight,
the state is claimed by the Republicans,
but Bay that the state bas gone in their
favor by a safe majority. They charge
that the reports have been delayed pur
posely, and thac the late returns show
beyond all doubt that the state bas gone
for Bryan. Tonight, the streets are
crowded with silverites, who "are yelling
the name of their candidate, r V
The following statement was issued at
midnight by Chairman Roberts, of the
state Republican executive committee:
"The Republican state committee
claims Kentucky by 1,000. It wired its
county chairman today for complete
corrected figures by counties, and re
ceived returns from all but five counties
in the mountain section.
JBonrke Cockran's statement. '
New York, Nov. 5. Bourke Cock ran
said last night in regard to the result?
"This was not a political contest in
the ordinary meaning of the term. It
was an insurrection against the under
lying principles of civilization, and I be
lieve it is without a parallel in the his
tory of the world. I have no opinion to
express as to the future of the Democrat
ic party. It has no future which' it can
determine for itself. This election, in
my opinion, was not an explanation of
the people as to what should be done
during the next four years, bnt as to
what should not be dons. I do not re
gard it is a verdict iu favor of any spe
cific policy. It was a verdict against de
basement of the currency, against the
destruction of the supreme conrt as an
independent tribunal, and against the
nullification or abridgement of the presi
dent's power to enforce the law. In
fine,it was a verdict that the funda
mental conditions of civilized . society
sbould not be disturbed in this country
"The final outcome of yesterday's
election no man can now predict, except
to Bay that the . political issues of the
future depend entirely upon the char
acter, of Mr. McKinley's administra
tion." , - ,
John Sherman's Views.
Mansfield, O., Nov. 5. John Sher
man gave out the following signed state'
ment:
"I sincerely hope that the election
will settle forever a question that in my
opinion threatened the honor and good
faith of the United States more than
any other since the close of the civil war.
Confidently assuming as I do the elec
tion of McKinley, I hope the present
gold standard will be maintained, with
the largest use of silver that can be
maintained at a parity with gold. This
settled, we ought promptly to make
such changes in our tariff and revenue
laws ail will yield a sufficient supply of
money to meet current expenses of the
government and create a sufficient sur
plus to pay outstanding bonds within a
few years, and to sufficiently and im
partially protect American industries.
Boer Bryan Took Defeat.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 5. "The fight
has just commenced."
Thus spoke William J. Bryan tonight
when asked if he considered the result
the election had been a serious blow to
the cause of bimetalism. He had just
sent a message to Major. McKinley. con
ceding his election and tendering bis
congratulations.
Mr. Bryan surrendered at 8 :20 o'clock.
He had just received the signal,, and re
sponded within the next 10 minutes
with a telegram to his successful rival.
This signal was a brief message from
Senator Jones, informing him that he
did not consider it wise to longer with
hold the concession of McKinley's elec
tion. This message waB received bv Mr.
Bryan a few minutes after he had re
turned from an evening" 'stroll, and in
tEe presence of a dozen callers gathered
in the parlor and reading-room of their
unpretentious home. The receipt of the
telegram created no scene whatever and
one unaquainted with tbe facts would
never have euspected from the -surface
indications tbe importance of the occa
sion, or that the chief actor in the dram
had more than a passing interest in it.
He banded the telegram to Mrs. Bryan
who was standing near him, and, with
out a word except to explain tbe pur
port of the message, sat down at hi
desk and penned tbe following telegram
. "Lincoln, Nov. o Hon. Wliliam
McKinley, jr., Canton: Senator Jones
bas just informed me that the returns
indicate your election, and I hasten to
extend my congratulations. We have
snbmitted the issue to the people, and
their wili is law. "W. J. Bryan :
-This message was first submitted to
Mrs. Bryan, and then, after being
amended in some slight particular so as
to conform to suggestions made by her
was given to the press.
While writing the message, and after
it was completed, Mr. Bryan chatted
pleasantly with the newspaper corre
spondents who surrounded him, indi
eating by his manner that he felt re
lieved to have the matter definitely de
termined, even though the-resnlt was
against him.. He also showed very
plainly that Senator Jones' message was
no surprise to him, as it indeed was not
for, as those who havo been in (lis con
fidence knew, he had considered the
battle as practically lost ever since the
first eight after election. He has, how
ever, felt that it would be both diecour
teous and unwise to give out any mti
mation to this effect .until the national
committee bad spoken.
Thorny f'ath to Thread.
Helena, Mont., Nov. 5. In .discuss
ing the result of tha election Senator
Carter last nighrsaid : - '
"The election of McKinley bids tbe
American people to renew hope in the
future. That the newly elected presi
dent will justify the expectations of the
people, no one can question. It must be
understood, however, that bis path is
liable to beset with difficulties. It is
obvious that' the senate will be very
close on the subject of tariff legislation,
The very large vote cast for, Bryan, will
I am sure, admonish those in the. min
ority of the necessity for prompt and
vigorous efforts in the direction of secur
tng results on tne coinage question in
accordance with' the platform.
