THE ISTHMIAN CANAL. Tasl Member of the Commission Re tarns ISorth. NSW YORK. Nor. 6 "Walter Schlecht, of the Nicaragua Canal Commission, was a passenger on the steamer Finance, which arried from Colon today. He Is the last ef the commission to return. His headquarters on the isthmus were in the Gorgona section. Besides his duties in connection with the Nicaragua route, Mr. Schletcht spent somo time In stud lng the proposed Panama route "I hare been on the Isthmus 17 months," he said, "and have studied both the pro posed routes. The commission studied both of them carefully, and in their re port will Impartially consider the merits of each of them. oBth of the routes have many adantagea. SfeouM the Panama route be chosen, two years work will be sa,ed Most of the obstacles In the way of building the canal con be overcome by engineering skill. I do not believe the Panama people will finish the canal In "years. Its estimated cost is $100,000,000, whlie the company is spending only about Jl 000 000 a year.

The Cuban Consti tutional Convention reassembled this aft ernoon and adopted resolutions to send to President McKinley the following tele gram: "The Cuba Constitutional Convention has the honor and satisfaction to respect fully salute the President and Congress of the United States and to express Its sentiments of gratitude to the American people." General Maximo Gomex, In a letter to Havana papers, says he will not accept office under the Cuban republic. "As a revolutionist." he declares, "I hae always understood that from, the moment, the x revolution was over, my mission will be terminated. "What remains to be done to attain the felicity of the land is not a matter to be decided by caalry charges. Tho problems pressing for solution must be solved with pru dence and calmness and without ardent patriotism that might be necessary at other times. "Cuba now presents a great field for Improvement which must be carried out Judiciously. It is, a field where all her children can work. My retired life and my persistent refusal of positions that have been offered me should be sufficient proof that my determination Is irrevoc abe. I firmly believe tho highest dis tinction which a man who has fought so much can take with him to the grave Is the esteem of all, and this can only be attained by not governing anybody or anything."

It be came evident at a very early hour this evening that the election of McKinley and Roosevelt was assured. At 8:30 o'clock, returns from nearly two-thirds of the election districts of Greater New York had been received, Indicating beyond ques tion that Bryan and Stevenson could not expect more than 25,000 or 30,000 plurality In this Democratlo stronghold, and un less there was a landslide In tho outside counties beyond all reasonable expecta tion, the pivotal state of NeWYork had declared in unmistakable terms, although by a greatly reduced majority, for the Republican candidates. As the night progressed, It only served to confirm this judgment, but the returns from Illinois revealed a like condition. The Republican plurality ot 1S96 was greatly reduced, but It was still far too large to be overcome. On the other hand, the returns from In diana, Michigan, the two Dakotos, Utah and "Wyoming, as well as Nebraska, seem to Indicate steady Republican gains over 1S96. Delaware, Maryland and West Vir ginia have given decided Republican plu ralities. The count In several of the far Western states was n&turally so delayed as to give little Indication of the opinion there, but they had ceased to have a determining ef fect, and before 10 o'clock the Democratic leaders had glen up the contest and it was announced that Mr. Bryan had gone to bed and was sound asleep. Tne whole story was easily and briefly told. The Republican ticket would have a larger electoral vote than four years ago, but in the larger states of the East and Middle "West tho pluralities of 1895 had been greatly reduced. Massachusetts had fallen from 174,000 to 60,000; New York, 26S.000 to 150.000, and Illinois from 142,000 to 100,000 or less. The 57th Congress seems to be Repub lican by a substantial working majority. The Gubernatorial tickets have appar ently followed the National, and Odell Is elected in New York and xates in Illinois. Senator Thomas C Piatt gave out the plurality for McKinley and Hoosevelt above the Bronx River is not lesf than 155,000, and may easily exceed that figure by 10.000. Greater New York is against us In the neighborhood of 80.000, and therefore we are confident of the state by nearly 150.000 tor the ticket. It may slightly exceed that amount. Mr. Odell ho apparently not received In Greater New York as many Democratic votes as the National candidates, but in tho other counties there Is little variance between his vote and McKlnleys. His plurality will not be more than-25,000 less than the President'". Both branches ot the legis lature ore Republican by increased ma jorities. There have been elected tour ad ditional Republican Congressmen." Belmont's election is conceded by a ma jority of 20,000 or more. Returns from all but 622 districts out of 8124 In New York State outside of greater Nevr York give McKinley a majority of 145,237. Returns from all but 122 of the districts in Greater New York give Bryan a majority of 27,331. MW YORK. McKinley Carried tho State by 150,- OOO Majority. .NETW YORK, Nor. 6-At 11 o'clock the Indications ore that President McKinley has carried New York State by a ma jority over Bryan of 160.000. compared with a Republican majority In the last Presidential election of 268,469. The total Vote In the City of New York is approxL. mately .60,000 larger than it was in 1S3S, and up the state the increase Is about 20,000. In the city Bryan wiped out the plurality of 60,000 tvhlch McKinley had four years ago, and took ona plurality for himself of about 25,000. "Up the state McKinley barely held the vote which he had in 1896, the added vote going: to Bryan. ' The vote for Odell, Republican nominee for Governor, Is considerably larger than that for McKinley. In Brooklyn particu larly the Democratic nominee for Gov ernor, Mr. Stanchneld, appears to hare been scratched. The election passed off quietly, both in the city and state. There were no more than the usual number of arrests of men accused of attempting Illegal voting at city precincts, and where the accused mads It clear that they were lnnocerlt they were permitted to return to the polling places and voto without further molestation. Returns from Congressional districts are scattered and incomplete. On Long Island McKinley and Bryan are running so close together that all estimates are valueless. In the "Wall-street district, which In cludes the Borough of Richmond, Btaten, Island, Nicholas Muller, dem, Is probably elected.

Notwithstanding Oregon's voto yester day was considerably below registration figures In May, the Republican plurality approaches and may surpass the greatest plurality ever given in the state. In 1894 Governor Lord's plurality was 15,001. Re turns from about half of Oregon received last night indicate that President Mc Klnley's plurality over Bryan is fully l000- These returns arc more or less in - - cpmplete - and farther reports-will change 'the figures given ths morning, but tho ohahCes seem in favor of running the Re publican plurality above 14,000 rather than reducing it below, Multnomah County contributes very largely to this result showing, with four precincts missing, SS33 for McKinley and 4434 for Bryan, and the full return for the county will give the Republican plurality at scarcely less than 5500. The weather ,was favorable and assisted materially in getting out the vote. Many unregistered voters qualified themselves and voted on certificates of freeholders. Still the number polled will fall short '- ' vTOtL Jiiisr ' ' a fuly 35 per cent, posslby 20 per cent, of the number registered. With, thla short vote the large Republican plurality Is specially significant. The disposition to ignore the minor parties in reportlng' election figures leaves the Prohibitionist MIddle-of-the-Road Populist, and Social Democrat without much of a showing. The Prohibitionists perhaps polled 5 per cent of the total vote and the other two much less, five to eight times as many voting for Eugene Debs as voted for Bar ker, A summary of the Imperfect re ports received lost night Is shown In the following table; all counties being heard from except Harney, Malheur and "Wal-lowat PBOM THE VARIOUS OOUHTIES. Baker -Goes Sllsrhtly Democratic A Llsrht Vote Cant. BAKER CITY, Or.. Nor. tj-Baker Conntr will doubtless arive Bryan a Plu rality of 50 to 100. A light vote -was polled throughout the county. Perfect order reigned everywhere, and the weather could not have been better. As had been feared by both sides, the people did not come out as they should. If Repub licans hod gone to the polls, it Is still believed by party leaders that Bryan's majority of nearly 950 of four years ago could have been changed to a small Re publican plurality today. Sixteen of the leading precincts have reported, and .Bryaa leads by about 40 votes. Baker City gave McKinley a. plurality of, 77, but Sumpter turned the compliment with 83 plurality for Bryan. Ot the preclnt yet to be heard from, some are known to bet slightly In favor of Bryan, which will Increase his plurality perhaps to 75 or 100. The vote today In all the precincts ot the county is much along the lines Indi cated In the June erections, with a lighter vote for "the Republican Electors Uhan was given the Republican state ticket. Tho Prohibition voto In the 16 precincts Is 22, Mlddle-of-the-Road Populists 9, and Social Democratic 23. Porter, one of the Social Democratic Eleotors, resides here.

M. tonight Chairman Schlevely claimed the state for McKinley by from 5000 to S000, and says he believes that while. Frink, rep., for Governor, will run behind he will be elected. Chairman Drum, ot the Democratic committee, has privately conceded Washington to McKinley, but saya Rogers and the other state officers will be elected. SBATTT-iE, Wash., Nov. 7. Returns re ceived up to 2 o'clock this morning are so Incomplete as to make close figuring im possible. That McKinley has carried fhe state by a good majority there is no doubt. Both parties claim the state, and It will take today's count to settle the thing, Drnn Claims the State tor Roger. Chairman Drum, of the Democratlo State Central Committee, at 2 o'cIockt,thls morning, wired The Oregonlan that Rogers had carried King County iby 00, Pierce by 700, and the state by 7000, at least. He made no statement as to the National ticket. The correspondent ot The Oregonlan at Seattle wired at midnight. "Vandevanter", rep. for Sheriff, Is defeated, and, the out look is that Rogers has carried both, the 'city and county. I think there la no ques tion of Rogers' election." It Is aparent that while McKinley 'has carried Spokane by 1000 or more, Klngby 1500 and Pierce by 1S00. Frink has lost tha first by 600 or more, and It Is doubtful If he has carried either Pierce op King. If he has, it Is by a very small margin. The correspondent ot The Oregonlan at Tacoma wired at 1 A. M.: "It looks very much as It Frink Is beaten. It ha wins, it will be by a close shave."' Returns to The Oregonlan from tho smaller counties, however. Indicate that Frink has run, as a rule, much Jbetter than in the large counties Ia Gswlltz and Jeffersen for examp'e, ho runs wel along with McKinley. Rogers' majority in Whitman appears io be less than ex pected. Elsewhere Frink was badly scratched. The rtst of the state ticket Is much In doubt- Jones and Cushman. rep, are running along with MoKinley, ' and are" probubly elected. v The legislature Is doubtless largelyRj& publican.

Never sines telegraph wires were strung In Eastern Washington have election returns been so slow and so meager, but those at hand tonight indicate that in Eastern Wash ington counties the Republican state tick et, with the exception of Frink, for Gov ernor, will hold its own. Rogers: runs far ahead of his ticket, when all tho counties are taken Into consideration, .and probably will have 2000 majority on this side of the mountains. k Returns must take a sudden turn, to change this. Only 16 precincts have re ported In Spokane County. These show the McKinley ticket In the lead. Rogers ahead of Frink, and. the county ticket running about even. Only two of tho precincts are city, hence the Spokane County vote will probaoly be Republican, as the city ordinarily Is heavily so, but Rogers will run for ahead of hla ticket ia the city. In Stevens County there appears to be a majority from returns of five fall pre cincts, of 600 for the Democratic ticket and for Rogers 100 more than that Lincoln County is giving Democratlo majorities, Rogers getting double the maTT jorlties of any other man on his tickei? Possibly the county will go three hun dred for tie regular Democratic ticket Two precincts of Okanagon County show small majorities for the Democratic tick et, probably 100 from all sources.
