A REPUBLICAN -SENATE
ASSURED
Terms of Seven Senators Ex
pire March 4th.
ROOSEVELT'S
ELECTION SURE
California Gone Republican With Em
phasis Washington Also Gets
Into Line With a Clean Sweep on
the Right Side.
Washington, Nov. 9. Returns estab
lish to a certainty that the United States
senate will have a Republican majority
after March next. Of the present Re
publican total of 45, the terms of seven
senators expire March 4th next, leaving
thirty-eight hold-over Republicans. To
this number the election of yesterday
adds ten Republicans surely elected and
three probably elected, making a total
of forty-eight, or two more than a ma
jority of the democrats, Populists and
Silver Republicans.
. There are 21 Democratic hold-orer
senators, and to this number the elec
tion of yesterday added four with cer
tainty and one probably, giving total
of 25 votes. The Populist and Silver
Republican hold-overs number eight,
and this was increased yesterday by one
piactically sure. Five state legislatures
appear much in doubt, viz: Nebraska,
West Virginia, Montana, Indiana and
War bington, and are not included in fig
uring the totals.
Today's returns show that these Dem
ocratic senators will be succeeded .by
Republicans: White of California,
Mitchell of Wieconsin, Allen of Nebras
ka, Turpie of Indiana, ' Smith of New
Jersey, Faulkner ot West Virginia, Mur
phy of New York, and Gray of Dela
ware. Interest in the election today centered
in the political complexion of the next
house. Although Chairman Babcock of
of the Republican congressional com
mittee, made this morning what he
terms an ultra conservative estimate, in
which be eliminated a number of doubt
ful lists, this estimate gives the Re
publicans 185 members in the next
house, a majority of thirteen over all.
At 2 o'clock Kerr, of the Democratic
congressional committee, claimed the
certain election of 190 Democrats and
Fusionists.
THE HOUSE.
Washington, Nov. 9. Returns re
ceived by the Associated Press indicate
the election to the house of 167 Repub
licans and 164 Democrats, Populists and
Silver Republicans, with twenty -six dis
tricts in-doubt.
Later Since the foregoing was eent
out, the late returns show the Republi
cans bavegained twodoubtful districts in
Washington, two in Indiana and one in
Kansas The Democrats sained one
doubtful district in Indiana and one in
Massachusetts. . '
NEW YORK .
New Youk, Nov. 9. Revised returns
make practically no change in tbose of
. last night, which showed the election of
Roosevelt by a pleurality of eighteen to
twenty thousand. As compared with
the election of 1896, this shows a loss to
the Republicans of from one hundred
and ninety to one hundred and ninety -
five thousand. . -
Roosevelt came to Harlem River w ith
1(15,000 pleurality, and Van Wyck had
but 85,000 in Greater New York with
which to meet it. The vote outside the
city shews that Roosevelt lost 61,000 as
compared with Black. In the country
districts Van Wyck ran about 20,000
and in the city about 54,000 ahead of
Porter.
The state's congressional delegation
will prcbably stand fifteen Republicans
to nineteen Democrats, a Democratic
gain of twelve.
The legislature will be Republican on
joint ballot by thirty-two votee, insuring
the election of a Republican to succeed
Senator Murphy.
New Yohk, Nov. 9. Practically com
plete returns on the vote for governor in
the entire etate give Roosevelt a pleural
ity of 19,533. The Democratic pleurality
in Greater New York was 82,203.
California.
San Fbancisco, Nov. 9. California
has gone Republican with more em
phasis than ever before. The 'entire
etate ticket, with the possible exception
of secretary of etate, has been elected.
According to Republican claims in San
Francisco, 221 precincts out of 303 give
Gage, Republican for governor, 20,063;
Maguire, Democrat, 18,022.
Colorado. ,
Denver, Nov. 9. The entire Fusion
state ticket is elected by about 50,000.
The Fusionists have an overwhelming
majority in the legislature.
Washington.
Seattle, Nov. 9. Incomplete returns
from twenty-four counties out of thirty
four in the state give a majority of 2500
in favor df both Republican congress
men, and Republican candidates for
supreme judges. Congressmen-at-Large
W. Li. Jones and F. W. Cushman, Re
publicans, are elected. '
Goldendale, Wash., Nov. 9 Re
turns have been received from ten voting
places with fourteen to bear from. A
Republican majority of 300 is assured.
Herbert Baker and W. L. Jones lead in
the race. Congressman Lewis is ahead
of his ticket. An official count will be
required to settle the county attorney
contest between Darcb, Republican, and
Dustin, Democrat. Woman's suffrage is
ahead. The single tax was defeated.
Dynamite in the Mails..
San Francisco, Nov. 8 Two sticks of
nearly half a pound of dynamite were
carried in the mails which arrived on
the overland train Sunday morning.
The explosives were poured from the
mail sack on the distributing table at
the postoffice station, and one of the
clerks soon tossed tbem through a chute
to the table of the carrier who would
take them to the destination as indi
cated by the address.
The sticks of the explosives were in
separate packages, and both were ad
dressed to George E. Hall, Turkish con
sul, Parrott building, San Francisco.
The postmarks were very indistinct, but
it is thought the dynamite was mailed
in Montana. Several weeks ago Mr. Hall
received a similar package, but it was
opened safely.
Execution of Branton.
Eugene, Nov. 8. Claud Branton, con
victed of the murder of John A. Linn,
was. this morning sentenced to be hanged
on Friday, December 22, at 10 o'clock a.
m. His attorneys filed a motion for a
new ttial on various grounds errors
made in the trial, and the judge's in
structions to the jury. Judge Hamil
ton overruled it, and then in a few words
passed sentence upon Branton, who re
mained perfectly calm. When asked if
he had anything to say why sentence
should not be passed upon him he re
plied in a clear and steady voice :
"I have notbinz to say."
Railway Surveyors in Klickitat .
Goldendale, Wash., Nov. 8. John
Golden, founder of the town named after
him, says a Camas Prairie settler in
forms him that a corps of railway sur
veyors, numbering sixteen men, are now
in Camas, working toward Goldendale.
The settler says that the party seems to
have come down the mountain from
Klickitat pass. Their actions in the
field indicate that they mean business.
It is generally presumed that the party
is working in the interest of the Port
land, Vancouver & Yakima Railway
Company. .
