With three state yet in doubt, it is

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

The returns (how interesting features
and in some respects have been a sur
prise to tbe leadrra of both political
parties. The New England itates
bave, as wa expected, given heavy
pluralities for MoKinley, without ex
ception. Tbe Republican tioket was
successful in Massachusetts beyond
what ws olaimed for it by the moat
enthusiastic prophet of Republican uo
oeia. 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.
Return by oountie in Iowa bave
been oompleted. The total vote oast
in tbe state is in exoess of 610,000
vote,-estimating tbe Prohibition and
Palmer vote together at only 6000.
Of these vote 886,761 were oast for
MoKinley, and 319,118 for Bryan.
MoKinley' plurality, 67,683. Thl
i the largest vote ever oaat in the

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. With nearly oomplete returns from
Mioblgan Pingree'a plurality ia esti
mated at about 70,000 and MoKinley'
16,000 loss. Of tbe congressional dele
gation 13 are Republicans and 8 fu
lionists. Tennessee' 13 eleotoral vote will be
oast for Bryan, but the Republioana
may elect the governor.
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.
Wisconsin is almost sure for the Re
publicans. Minnesota, whioh was regarded aa
doubtful by both parties, w'l have
16.000 plurality for MoKinley.

the ohairmen have been figuring on the

ports from 193 congressional districts,
whioh bave elected Republicans; that
there are 186 districts that have elect
ed Democrats and Populists, and 38
distriots in whioh the returns are in
complete. These may all be classed as
doubtful, be aaya, with tbe prospects
that tbe Repnblicana will secure at
leait one-half of them, whioh would
make a total Republican membership
in the fifty-fifth congress of 307. He
olaiin that, un1er 110 oirenmstances,
will the Republican membership fall
below 800.
Senator Faulkner, chairman of the
Demooiatio committee, although he
doe not oonoede the Republican a

176, within three of a majority.
The Democrat have made gains aa

T1ADE WITH CHINA
racific Coast States Will
Reap Greatest Benefit
THE CELESTIALS ABE WAKING UP
A Oood Flald for American Mon,y
and Kntvrprias Banking B
forma Xspotd.
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
