THE ELECTIONS.
Republican Successful In Washington
and Will Have a Majority
In Congregg. .
Washington; Nov. 10. Returns es
tablish to a certainty that the United
States senate will have a Republican
majority after March next. Of the pres
ent Republican total of 45, the terms
of seven senators expire March 4. next,
leaving 88 hold-over Republicans. To
this number the elections of Tuesday
add 10 Rej ublioans surely elected and
three probably elected, making a total
of 48, or two rnore than a majority of
the Democrats, Populists and Silver
Republicans.
There are 21 Democratio hold-over
senators, and to this number the elec
tions added four with certainty and one
probably, giving a total of 25 votes.
The Populists and Silver Republican
hold-overs number eight, and this was
increased by one practically sure. Five
state legislatures appear muoh in doubt,
viz.: Nebraska, West Virginia, Mon
tana, Indiana and Washington, and are
not included in figuring the totals.
Today's returns show that these
Democratic senators will be succeeded
by Republicans: White, California;
Mitchell, Wisconsin; Allen, Nebraska)
Turpie, Indiana; Smith, New Jersey;
Faulker, West Virginia; Murphy, New
York, and Gray, Delaware.
Interest in the election Tuesday cen
tered in the political complexon of the
next house. Although Chairman Bab
cock, of the Republican congressional
committee, made this morning what he
terms an ultra conservative estimate,
in which he eliminated a number of
doubtful lists, this estimate gives the
Republicans 185 members in the next
house, a majority of 13 over all. At 2
o'clock, Kerr, of the Democratio con
gressional committee, claimed the cer
tain election of 190 Democrats and
Fusionists.

San Franoisco, Nov. 10. Cali
fornia has elected a Republican gover
nor and probably the entire state tioKet
by pluralities estimated at fronVa,000
to 20,000. Complete returns will not
be in for 24 hours at best, but the elec
tion of Henry T. Gage, Republican,
over James G. Maguire, Demoorat, is
conoeded.
The Republicans will have a large
majority in the legislature, which will
next winter, elect a United States sen
ator to Bucceed Stephen M. White,
Democrat.
The fight for the mayoralty of San
Francisco has been eagerly contested,
and the result is yet uncertain. The
indications are, however, that James
D. Phelan, the present mayor, will be

Colorado.
, Denver, Nov. 10. The entire fusion
state ticket is elected by about 50,000.
The fusionists have an overwhelming
majority in the legislature.
New York.
New York, Nov. 10. Revised re
turns make practically no change in
those of lust night, which showed the
election of Roosevelt by a plurality of
18,000 to'20,000. As compared with
the eloction of 1898, this shows a Re
publican loss of from 190,000, to 195.
000. The state's congressional delega
tion will probably Btand 15 Republi
cans to ,19 Democrats, a Democratic
gain of 12.

on joint ballot by 82 votes, insuring
the election of a Republican to sucoeed
Senator Murphy
Nebraska.
Lincoln, Neb. Nov. 10. Belated
precinct returns today continue to in
dicate that Nebraska lias turned a po
litical Bomersault and landed in the
Republican column. Three hundred
and seventeen precincts outside of Lin
coln and Omaha give Hayward, Re
publican, governor 28,494; Poynter,
Fusionist, 26,862, a net Republican
gain of 4,787. The first and second
congressional districts are Republican,
the third and sixth fusion, and the
fourth and fifth in doubt.
' Illinois.
Chioago, Nov. 10. Late returns re
duce the Republican plurality on the
state ticket to between 20,009 and
25,000. In the county the Republican
lead is likely to be less than 6,000.
i'tahT-
Salt Lake, Nov. 10. The Democrats
elected Roberts to congress and oarriod
the legislature, which will elect a

Cincinnati, Nov. 10. The grand
jury of Kenton county, Kentucky, sit
ting in Covington, today returned in
diotments against 53 of the leading fire
insurance companies of the United
States, Canada and England. The in
dictments charge that the companies
have formed an unlawful pool to pre
vent free competition among all insur
ance companies and their agents doing
business in Covington, and thus extort
a greater premium than otherwise
would have to be paid.
TESLA'S NEW INVENTION.
Will Control Moving Vgiieli Without
Wire Communication.
New York, Nov. 10. Nikola Tesla,
the electrioian, in a newspaper inter
view, describes an application of eleo
tricity whereby, without the interposi
tion of any artificial medium of com
munication, one man can control and
direct, with absolute exactitude, the
movements of any type of vessel, bal
loon or land vehicle, at any distance
that may be desired. From a station
on snore, or from the deck of a vessel
under way, a torpedo-boat equipped
with Mr. -Teala's controlling device
may ,lre piopelled either on or below
the surface, maneuvered at will in any
direction, and finally brought into con
tact and explode against the side of a
hostile vessel at any point within range
of vision cl the operator. More than
this, assuming that it were possible to
accurately locate the position of the
vessel whioh it is desired to destroy,
the torpedo-boat could be directed to it,
event if the ship lay in the haibor of
Southampton and the- operator was
stationed at Sandy Hook.
Mr. Tesla said that some months had
elapsed since he had fully developed
his devioe, for which he has applied
for a patent. When it was learned
that Admiral Cervera was bottled up
at Santiago, it was his intention' to ap
ply his meohanism to several launches
and similar craft loaded with high ex-,
plosives and annihilate the fleet at an
chor. Admiral Cervera, however, oame
out and met his fate under the guns
of the American fleet before the neces
sary arrangements could be made.
Then Mr. Tesla planned a raid on the
Spanish vessels in Havana harbor, only
to be thwarted by the proclamation of
the suspension of hostilities. ,
LOOK FOR EARLY CONCLUSION.
The Administration Encouraged by the
Advices From Paris,
Washington, Nov. 10. The advices
that have come to hand so far from the
commission at Paris are said to be
rather enoouraging than the reverse,
and there1 is a disposition here to agree
to the statement rather curiously made
by the Spanish cabinet yesterday that
there will be three or four more meet
ings of the joint commission. This is
taken to indicate that the Spaniards
themselves are not looking for a break
in the negotiations, but they rather
expect a peaceful conclusion in a short
time.
The foreign bondholders have at last
moved formally to protect their inter
ests in Cuba and Porto Rico. The ini
tial steps have been taken through the
agency of the French embassy, whioh,'
in this case acts no longer as the repre
sentative of the Spanish government,
but for French subjects. Through the
embassy a formidable statement has
been presented to the state department,
being an account of the various Span
ish bonds owned by French citizens,
chargeable against the territories either
seized or set free by the act of the
United States government. The sum
of these bonds runs far into the mil
lions. Just what it is expeoted shall
be done with them is not clear. The
United States government, of course,
will not pay them, but it may help the
French government to oause the inde
pendent government of Cuba to assume
liability for the redemption of the
bonds charged against that island when
that government shall have been duly
installed by the act of the United
States.
New Gold Fields.
C'eveland, Nov. 9. Mr. Franklin
Ransom, of this city, who went to Terra
del Fuego a year and a half ago in quest
of gold, has returned with nearly $18,
000 in gold. Ransom will return to
South America in the spring. He said
today that he had endured many hard
ships during his absence.
Ransom ays all gold is obtained from
placer mines or is washed out of a mag
netic black sand that is blown upon the
sea shore. This sand sometimes runs
$1.80 to the pan. The belt of black
sand lies under the low tide level, so it
is necessary to wait for a storm to wash
it up in reach of the miners.
rentes of the World Endangered.
London, Nov. 9.. The Daily Mail
this morning urges theAmerioau people
to pronounce boldly in favor of retain
ing the Philippines, "for otherwise
there will be a scramble for coaling sta
tions that will endanger the peace of
the world.
War Revenue Aot Upheld.
Chicago, Nov. 9. Judge Grosscup,
of the United States circuit court, to
day rendered a decision upholding the
constitutionality of the war revenue
act, deoiding that transactions on the
stockyards exchange were subjoot to
tax. 1
Wooden Kims Not Patentable.
Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 9. Judge
Seaman in the United States court to
day rendered a decision of importance
to manufacturers of bicycles. The
court holds in effect that any one who
wishes may engage in the manufacture
of wooden rims used for bicyole wheels,
as they are not now a patentable article.

office is in the residence of W. H.
Sohroeder, the postmaster. Mr. Schroe
der was in the upper part of the house
when the men entered, but a man,
Peter Crow, was in the office. The
robbers ordered him ontside. They
tied his feet and bands, and fastened
him seourely to a milk cart, in such a
manner that his face was down, and he

belonging to the Arago oieamery and
$200 being postal funds. Postmaster

ILLINOIS LYNCHING.
Miners Quickly Avenge an Assault on
One of Their Daughters.
Macon, 111., Nov. 9. The first lynoh
ing In Central Illinois in many years
took place here early this morning,
when 100 miners from Toluca, a min
ing town a short distance east of here,
broke into the county jail, took out F.
W. Stewart, a Toluca negro, and hanged
blm to a tree.
The work was done quickly and quiet
ly. Only a few late Btragglers noticed
the number of strangers who kept ar
riving in town from the east. They
were well organized, however, and
shortly after midnight marched in a
body to the jail, broke in the doors after
a short parley with the sheriff, dragged
the negro from his cell, cairied him to
a tree a mile from town, where the re
mainder of the party awaited them,
and there swung him to a limb. ,
Stewart's crime was assault on Friday
evening upon Mary O'Brien, the daugh
ter of one of the Toluca miners.
Although many in Macon deplore the
lynching, there is a general impression
that the negro was punished as he de
served, and the sheriff seems to think
that publio sentiment would not justify
him in making strenuous efforts to cap
ture the lynchers.
PEREZ BROUGHT TO TIME.

Santiago de Cuba, Nov. 8. The

BITTER FIGHT TO BE MADE.
' i
President's Message Will Urge Action
on Nicaragua Canal.
New York, Nov. 9. r-A dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says: In
President McKinley's message to con
gress will be a very strong and urgent
appeal for immediate legislative ao
tion for the construction of the Nica
ragua canal under government diree-,
tion. The president wMl point out
that our new connections in the Pa
oifio and in the West Indies make it
imperative for the United States to
build and control the great internation
al waterway, and that delay in author
izing its construction will jeopardize
the chances for American control ia
the future.
President MoKinley fully appre
ciates the difficulties in the way of
securing prompt action, bnt he and
other canal advocates also appreciate
that failure this year may mean per
manent failure. Henoe preparations
are going forward for one of the most
bitter fights ever waged in the interest
of the canal. ,
The action of the Nioaragua govern
ment in granting a new concession for
the construction of the canal conditional
upon the forfeiture of the contract with
the Maritime Canal Company in Ootq
ber next has added new complications
to the difficulties in the way of legisla
tion. The authorities consider that it
adds another element of opposition to
prompt action on the pending Morgan
bill, which contemplates the construc
tion of the. canal under government
direction on the basis of the concession
granted to the Maritime Canal Com
pany. The Morgan bill in all its essen
tial features is understood to have the
indorsement of the administration.
It ia supposed that the new company
will be inimical to the Maritime Canal
Company. It is assumed if it does not
succeed in selling out to the concession
aires, it will exert its influence to pre
vent action by congress this winter in'
order that its contract may go into
effeot next October. Besides opposi
tion from this new company, friends of
the Morgan bill will have the powerful
Huntington and Panama canal intei
ests arrayed against them. , Friends of
the latter party are already in Wash-:
ington, preparing for . a campaign,
against the Nicaragua canal, ,
J. L, Morgan is to be a faotor in th
coming legislative war. It is stated
that while in Nicaragua last winter he
made an arrangement with President.
