With three state yet in doubt, it is known tbat the Republican national ticket 1 elected by a majority of nearly 100 in tbe electoral oollege, and ot 1,000,000 plurality ot tbe popular vote. New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Massachusetts and Ohio bave rolled up unprecedent?dly tremendous majorities, from 100,000 to 800.000. The rest is detail, to be settled by complete re turns, - There are now three states in tbe doubtful column Kentucky, Wyoming and Booth Dakota. In Kentucky it will require the official count to deter mine the result, owing to irregulari ties. In Wyoming, the unoretainty is due to the slow returns. The latest re ports, however, indicate that Bryan will got two ot the three vote. South Dakota' vote on presidential electors Is tied, and an ofiloial count will be re quired to determine tbe result Repub lican managers have closed their office with tbe above declaration. The Republican oandidate is now sore of 200 electoral votes. Tbe other states tbat were considered doubtful Kansas, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia have gone for Brjan.

New York and Pennsylvania bave given tbe Republican oandidate be tween 176,000 and 886,000 eaob. Tbe Virginia electors will, without question, be for Bryan, but they have been elected by a heavily redaoed vote. The Republican bave given Texaa up. Illinois baa given MoKinley about 1 76,000 plurality. In the guberna torial raoe Altgeld ha been beaten, but Is 60,000 ahead ot the Demooratio national ticket Ohio ba given MoKinley 63,488 plurality.

In Kentuoky the (ituation ia ma terially changed from early advices. At first the Republican olaimed the state by about 16,000, but late reinrna how large Democratic gains, and now the state is olaimed for Bryan, but thl tbe Republican will not oonoede. California baa given MoKinley plurality of 6,000. Kansas ha given Bryan 4,000 plu rality.

South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana are all for Bryan by about the normal Democratic majorities. Nebraska ha gone for Bryan, not withstanding the Republican olairas.

Washington, Nov. 10. It baa al ways been held tbat China was a good field for Amerioan enterprise and American money. Amerioan wbo seek to engage in buslnes enterprises in China or Japan find themselves handi capped by the faot that all their busi ness in the way of money must be done through English banking bouses. English money find a good invest ment in China a it doe elaewbere. Engliah capitalists bave their invest ments in tne East oovered by the ex change through English banking bouses. By tbe same token Americans find it muoh more diffioult to secure a foothold in the Eastern oountrie for their manufacture and wares, although old a cheaply a those manufactured in England. While it doe not appear tbat there ha been any change in the matter ot Amerioan banking business, it i a fact there il a obange in the matcer of enterprise in China. Tbe ion of min ister Denby has noted several instances of late showing tbat American are be ginning to see tbat there i a future tor tbem in the matter of Chinese trade and Chinese investment This has been especially noticeable in the matter of ship and railroad building. Upon thia line he say: "Among these, the Amerioan Trad ing Company, of New York, London, Yokohama and Shanghai, ha been the longest in tbe field. In addition to it usual business of exporting and im porting, this oompany ha recently be come tbe agent of tbe Cramp Ship building Company and of the Union iron works. It also represents an American railroad syndicate, and baa. submitted bids for the building of a railroad from Soochow to Chinkiang, and for the building of an electrio tramway in the foreign concessions at Shanghai. These bids have not a yet been accepted. Daring the past winter this company waa also agent for an American banking syndicate, and entered into negotiations for a loan to China. It ia thia same i oompany that ba secured a conoes ' sion for a railroad from Chemulpo to j Seoul, in Corea, and that has sold two ships on behalf of the Cramp com pany to the Japanese government "Mr. A. W. Bash, of Port Town send, Wash., is the representative at Peking of a wealthy combination of capitalists in New York, who wish to secure railroad, mining and other con tracts in China. Tbe syndicate baa or ganized a company called tbe American-China Development Company, in corporated under the lawa of the atate of New Jersey. Their plans are far reaching and comprehensive, bnt they have not yet beeen brought to a raffi olently definite form to justify a report thereon. It ia supposed, however, that they will oonfine their attention to North China, and that they have at present no projeota south of the Yang tse river. "The Bethlehem iron work have been represented in Peking during the winter by Captain Zalinaki, U. S. A., retired. This company wishes to ob tain order tor ooast defenses, armor plates, disappearing guns, ammuni tion, eta, and its agent also submitted to the yamen plana for aubmaiine boats. The yamen seems at present disinolined to enter on naval recon struction, against whioh they are atrongly advised by Sir Robert Hart, inspeotor-generai of onatoma. Tbe foreign oustoms revenue is now almost entirely pledged to pay the Russian French and German-English loans of 300,000,000 taels. A further indebted ness of 60,000,000 taels, on similar terms, would require to meet it the balance of customs revenue now re maining, and would leave China with out revenue from thia source for many years to come. Want of fund will prevent the purchase of a large Beet or great investment in ooast defense. " Amerioan methods and American in vestments would no doubt do a great deal to stimulate trade with China. It is, of course, known that anything that would increase the business with China would be ot immense advantage to the Paoifio slope, a the trade with the Orient must be carried on from tbe Pa oifio const It is known that a great deal ot big industries, snoh a railroad building, shipbuilding, and in fact anything of a modern character, must of necessity draw from the outside world, and the United States oould best supply snob demand, and in turn these supplies would be taken from the ooast state. Chicago Stock Exchange Keopened. Chioago, Nov. 9. After having been olosed for over three month, the Chi cago stock exchange reopened today.

Wheat broke the record for November this morning by selling at 80o for Deoember, 3 cent advanoe over last night' olose. The advance was not attended by great ex oitement Few open order to take profit on long (tuff at even figure brought only a temporary setback. Outside market were particularly strong. The visible inorease wa only 1,348,000 bushel. The threatened orop damage in Argentina; doleful rumor of unsatisfactory fall seeding in Russia and France and large seaboard clear ances were the obief factors whioh con tributed to tbe (uocesa of tbe bulls.

Koegel olaima that last June be finished a walk around tbe world on a wager of 13,000 against $5,000 with some San Franoisoo men that he oould not per form the task in two years. He say that he started from San Franoisoo in June, 1894, and got baok within the specified time, but lost his bet because he had not been able to get through Si beria, which was one ot tbe conditions ot the wager. He waa refused permis sion to go through Siberia on account of George Kennan'a book. He has just walked back across the continent on his way borne to Bavaria. During his walk around the world, he says, he saw 400 Armenians massacred at Con stantinople and 800 at another plaoe. Dag I7p n Giant Mummy. Middlesboro, Ky . Nov. 10.
