IT'S ILL ONE-WAY
McKinley Elected by Over
whelming Majorities.
VERY TIGHT RACE IN NEBRASKA
Maryland, Kentucky, New Jersey and
Delaware Captured from, the
Democracy.
The returns began coming in a scatter
ing way about 6 o'clock, but at 9 they
began to thicken and by a curious irony
of fate, coming at the rate of about 16 to
1 in favor of the gold standard. Of
course, only estimates based on a
given number of precincts could be
given. ' ' "
At 10 o'clock the New York Jonrna',
Hearst's paper (dem.) gave Ohio, to Mc
Kinley by 100,000 and Virginia by 15,
000. ' At the same hour Kentucky was given
to the gold men by 15,000. Maryland
figures were tangled, but showed it safe
for McKinley.
. At 11 o'clock the bulletins showed the
result conclusively :
Virginia 175 products out of 1500
give Bryan 19,068, McKinley 16,061.
Missouri 40 precincts outside of St.
Louis give McKinley 4793 ; Bryan 7044.
Iowa 94 precincts give McKinley
'86,342; Bryan 10,460.
Indiana 80 precincts give McKinley
8377 ; Bryan 6984.
Montana .50 precincts give McKinley
1827 ; Bryan 8940.
Connecticut Bryan carries only 3 out
of 111 towns.
Kentucky 130 pracincts, Louisville,
McKinley 23,000; Bryan 14,000. In
24 precincts outside Louisville, McKin
ley gets 3752 ; Bryan 5443 ; and in the
7th congressional district, 47 out of 485
precincts give McKinley 1441; Bryan
1343.
At this hour the New York Tribune
gives McKinley 293 electoral votes sure
Michigan McKinley carries Detroit
by 40,000, and the state by 25,000.
Maryland McKinley carries Balti
more by 15,000.
Nebraska 115 precincts give McKin
ley 3242 ; Bryan 1889.'
At 12 :30 the majorities kept crawling
steadily up, and the result was beyond
any question, the amount of the majori
ties alone remaining to be counted.
North Dakota became safe, showing
3362 for McKinley against 2199 for
Bryan.
Minnesota settled all . question with
230 precincts out of 2100, giving McKin
ley 29,277 against Bryan's 18,691.
Kentucky is claimed by Republicans
by 25,000, and with Louisville's vote has
S3.000 to back its claim. ,
- Illinois, outside of Cook county, as far
as heard from, gave McKinley 86,651 ;
Bryan 57,381. Cook county, as far as
counted, had given McKinley "45,OO0,and
would add 20,000 more, giving the state
by probably 123,000.
" Indiana, with' 120 precincts counted,
gave McKinley 14,069; Bryan 10,860.
Minneapolis gave ' McKinley 28,826

THE FLOODS ID FK4NCE.
Rivera Rhone and Seine Rising With
Disastrous Effect.
Paris, Nov.- 2. Telegrams received
from the departments bear news of fur
ther floods and of alarming rise in the
rivers. Enormous damage to property
has been done, but no fatality has yet
been reported. The river Seine is still
rising, and is at the flood stage. The
authorities have despatched to Co trips
and to Vallabreguee, the artillery wa
gons from Nimes, to assist in the work
of relief. The river Rhone has burst its
banks at Lauson, which is now isolated.
The only communication through con
siderable districts is by boats. Troops
have left Avignon to assist in repairing
the broken banks of the Rhone.
Later advices state that the Seine has
fallen slightly tonight, but the further
rise is feared. The news teceived from
Lyons this evening is most disquieting.
Many houses are flooded at Neuville-sur-Saone,
and the river is covered with
furniture. The barracks at St. Lambert
is surrounded by soldiers and prisoners.
Half this district is inundated, and nu
merous factories in Lyons and vicinity
are closed.
RISINO WHEAT MARKETS.
Grain in New York Advanced Steadily
During; the Day.
Nkw York, Nov. 2. From start to
finish today the .wheat - market gave a
surprising exhibition of strength, con
sidering the fact that tomorrow is a
holiday. Opening Jc higher at 80Jc
for December, it kept on rising until it
reached 81 c, where it closed. Specu
lation was most active in the last hour,
and the total - sales for the day only
reached 3,150,000 bushels. It was a case
of bull sentiment, reinforced by strong
foieign news and European buying, es
pecially on the Pacific coast, where fur
ther . export . orders were reported.
Siverpool stocks showed a falling off for
the month, world's shipments were es
timated at nearly 1,000,000 bushels less
than last week, and there was a redac
tion of 640,000 bushels on passage. The
American visible supply .increased only
half as much as expected. .

Wisconsin, and who is now on his way

Snow in South Dakota.
Minneapolis, Nov. 2. A special from
Huron says five inches of snow fell there
last night, making a foot now on- the
ground. The storm in the north and
west is reported as severe. Farmers are
wholly unprepared for winter. Tele
graph poles and wires are down between
here and Pierre. No commnmcation
with that city has been had by wire

CRAPS BEFORE DUTY.
The Darky Thought That the New Yorker
XI as""" Very Inconsiderate. .'
A Wall street man tells this story:
"I was making the trfp from New Or
leans to Memphis in April by a Missis
sippi river steamboat. On the first day
out from New Orleans I felt the need of
the barber's services and learning" that
the Memphis Belle was tonsorially
equipped I sought out that office. I
found a single barber in charge, a
rather pompous, tall person of color
with flowing' Dundreary whiskers. He
was engaged in doing nothing at all
with that grace of execution peculiar to
the southern darky. I seated myself
in his chair and was soon wrapped in
thought upon some business I had be
gun in New Orleans. The barber began
his work leisurely, the while carrying
on a one-sided flow of talk to which I
replied in monosyllables.
"The day was warm and I was almost
dozing away under the soft splashes of
his brush ' when another customer
entered. He was a nervous, fidgety sort
of man and as there were no newspa
pers in the room he amused himself iu
looking at a few prints hung on the
walla, the attraction of which soon
palled upon him. Then he walked to
the door and looked down the deck
where a group of roustabouts were en
gaged in the game of craps. . Figaro
had by this time completed the lather
ing of one side of my face and roused me
by turning my head around. I inti
mated that life was short, and I didn't
care about passing too much of it in be
ing shaved. He was evidently disgusted
with my taciturnity and replied with
great dignity, but with no haste either
of speech or action ; 'Cert'nly, sah, cer
t'nly.' "The stranger's curiosity had been
aroused by the gambling going on out
side, which was as usual accompanied
by the 'come sevens!' and shrieks of
'craps' which attend that game.
" 'What game is that, barber? he,
demanded of Dundreary. He of the
whiskers made one or two artistic plays
of his brush over my chin and answered:
" 'Lah, Gawd, mister, ain't yer ever
seen that game? That's coaps. Every
body plays it 'round this country.
"The stranger admitted he had seen
it played' before in the wharves' and
streets, but said he had not discovered
any mental light from his observations.
A running exchange of queries and ex
planations followed between barber and
stranger, during which a not over keen
razor had begun its course down my
right cheek. Both parties to the col
loquy were getting interested and I was
getting bored.
"The nervous stranger appeared
somewhat obtuse, or, perhaps, the ver
nacular of the barber was inadequate
to convey the full meaning of the
technical details of craps. At any rate,
he pressed for further information. My
face had by that time been cleared of
beard as to my chin and part of my
cheek. Fifteen minutes had been con
sumed in the process and my patience
was becoming threadbare.
"The barber had exhausted his powers
of description and, turning to the
stranger, he said: ',''
" 'Well, sah, ef you really wants to
know how to shoot craps I kin show
you,' and placing the razor on the shelf
he opened a drawer and withdrew a
pair of greasy-looking dice. Then he
stepped over to a table and began to
give a practical exposition of the mys
teries of t he game. This was too much.
" 'Here ! ' I cried, raising myself in the
cnair. 'Finish, up this job before you
get to crap shooting.'
"'Certainly, sah, he replied to me
and turning to the stranger he added:
'One minute an I'll show you.
"It only took a few minutes to com
plete his work on me, and as I put on
my coat he and the stranger proceeded
with the game. As I left the room I
could hear him muttering about the
'hurry some people is in an' it is still
fob. days 'fore we get to Memphis. "
