midnight, shows that the republican!
hve elected ISO memben, while the dem
ocrats, illvrr republicans, fuslonlsts and

to be heard from.
CLAIMS OP LEADERS.
WASHINGTON. Nov. J.-Chalrman
nabcotk. of the republican congressional
committee. In a statement to the Assocl-
ated Pre thl evening ald:
There can be no longer any reasonable
arfument over the political complexion
of the next house of representative. It
will be republican beyond the shadow of
a doubt. Our advice show the certain
election of IK republicans, six more than
enough to slve us "control.
"Our Information Induces us to place
nine districts In doubt. These are the
Seventh In California ;the Third. Fourth.
Fifth, and Sixth In Nebraska; the Seven
tcenth. Nlnteenth and Twenty-sixth In
Pennsylvania, and the Twelfth In Texas.
We are reasonably certain to get some of
thorn. Without them, however, we have
a clear majority and are resting perfectly
easy"
At the headquarters of the democratic
congressional commute, confidence Is ex
pressed that the democrats will control
the next house of representative. Sec
retary Kerr says that In large number
of districts It will require an official
count to determine definitely the result
It seems certain," said Secretary Kerr,
to a representative; of the Associated
Press, "that we have elected 183 members
of the next house and the republican
163. and that 11 dlstrlcta are In doubt."
WASHINGTON. Nov. 9,-At 8:30 o'clock
this morning. Just before the hendquar
tera of the republican congressional com
mittee were closed for the night. Chair
man Babcock made the following state
ment:
An analysis of the conditions In all
of the congressional districts In the coun
try before the election showed that 139
of them were surely republican and 118
surely democratic or fusion. Returns re
ceived up to this hour show that there
has been no change In any of these dis
tricts from the figures -we made before
election. One hundred districts In the
country were loft In doubt, and those
are the ones we are anxious to hear
froi" Out of that 100 we have definite
returns from 32. Nineteen went repub
lican and IS democratic
"This leaves 68 districts In doubt. No
very definite advices have been received
from states west of tho Missouri river,
except Wyoming, which we carried.
With the advices now at hanu, I cannot
figure a republican majority In the noxt
house of representatives of less than 25
or SO. We have made a gain over the re
publican membership In the present
house of representatives of one In Wy
oming, two In South Dakota, two In Ne-j
I bra ska, four In Kansaa and two In California.
Still in Doobt, tint
"At this hour, the Indication are that
we shall have 198 republican In the next
house, distributed a follow: Alabama
1: California, 6: Connecticut. 4; Dela
ware, 1; nilnol. 13; Indiana, ; Iowa. U;
Kansas, ; Kentucky. I; Maine, ; Mary
land. 4; Massachusetts, It; Michigan, 12;
Minnesota. 8; Missouri. 1; Nebraska. 4;
New Hampshire. 2; New Jersey, ; New
York. J2; North Carolina, 2; North Da
kota. 1; Ohio. 15; Oregon. J; Pennsylvania,
U: Rhode Island. 2: South Dakota, I;
Tennessee, X; Texas. 2; Vermont. 2; vir
glnia, 1; Washington, I; West Virginia.
4; Wisconsin, 9; Wyoming, L
'The greatest possible losses from
these figures that we could sustain would
be one from California, one from Ala
bama, two from Indiana, one from Mas-
achusetts, one from Michigan, one from
Minnesota, two from Missouri, one from
Nebraska; one from New Jersey; one
from New Tork. two from Pennsylvania
and t? orn Washington. Thl would
be 17. and would still leave us 181 sure
republican members, or five majority."
At the headquarters of the democratic
congressional committee, the utmost con-
ftden-e was expressed that the democrats
had carried the house of representatives.
The secretary said:
"I am prepared to Increase the figures
I gave you three hours ago. We have
elected 1 members of the next house.
This, to my mind. Is beyond doubt. We
have taken nothing for granted, but are
figuring on absolute advices. Here Is a
statement of the members we have
elected from various states:
Alabama. s; Arkansas, 6; California,
J; Colorado. 2; Florida. 2; Georgia. 11-
Idaho. 1; Illinois. 11; Indiana, 6; Iowa, 1;
Kansas, 4; Kentucky, 10; Louisiana, ;
Maryland, 2; Massachusetts, J; Michigan,
S; Minnesota. 1; Mississippi. 2; Missouri!
14: Montana. 1; Nebraska. S; New Jer
sey, S; New York. 16; North Carolina, 8;
Ohio, 5; Pennsylvania, 8; South Carolina,
7; South Dakota, 2: Tennessee, 8; Texas,
U; Virginia. 10; Utah. 1; Washington. 2;
West Virginia, 1; Wisconsin. 1; Wyoming.
L Thl makes a total of 192. and 1 am
nerfectly satisfied that there will be very
little variation from these figures.
CALIFORNIA,
Next Legislature WHI Be Republlcan
Phe!" May Be Elected by a Small
Majority.
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 9.-California
haa eleoted republican governor and
probably Uie entire state ticket by plur
alities estimated at from 5.000 to 20.000.
Complete returns will not be In for 24
hours at least, but the eleotlon of Henry
T. Gage, republican, over James J. Ma
gulre, democrat, Is conceded.
The congressional delegation from Cal
ifornia will be as follows: First, Bar-
ham, republican; Second, DeVries, demo
crat; Third, Metcalfe, republican; Fourth
Kahn, republican; Fifth, Loud, repub
lican; Sixth, Waters, republican; Sev
enth, Necdham, republican.
The republicans will have a large ma
jority in the legislature, which will, next
winter oloot a United States senator to
succeed Stephen M. White, democrat
The fight for the mayoralty of San
Francisco has been eagerly contested
and the result Is yet uncertain. The In
dications are, however, that James D.
Phelan, the present mayor, will be re
elected by a small majority.
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 9.-Less than
half the vote of California has been
counted, but 1111 complete precincts out
of Wft give Oae, republican, for gover
nor, KM Dlurality. At this rat hi vote
will be In excess of M.igulre's. The
republicans have carried the rm'v '
of the state ticket with the except!
the secretary of state and two Jurigre of
tha supreme court. The vote on the is
close with the chance In fsvor of the
democratic candidate. It Is certain
California has elected five, and probably
six, republican congressmen.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. I.-Mayor
Jama D. Pnelan, democrat, It re-elected
mavor.
PENNSYLVANIA.
PHILADELPHIA. Nov. t.-Comp!et
returns from he state of Pennsylvania
give Stone, republican, a plurality of
nearly 150,000 for governor over General
Jenks, democrat
Dr. Swallow, the prohibitionist and
honest government candidate, reeelved
unexpectedly light support, and his tots
vote probably will not go much above
loom against 118 , last year.
Of the thirty congressmen elected, a
are surely republicans, with three dis
tricts, the Twelfth. Seventh, and Nln
teenth, claimed by both parties.
The democratic and fuslonlst net gain
In the legislature I probacy between
twenty and thirty, but the body which
elects a successor to United State Sen
ator Quay remains strongly republican.
PHILADELPHIA. Nor. I.-The dele
gation from Pennsylvania In tho next
congress will comprise U republicans and
nine democrats, a democratic gain of six.
MISSOURL
KANSAS CITY. MO.. Nor. 9.-At 2 a.
m. the returns from the election In Kan

claiming the state officer and congress
men at large. In tha Seventh congres
sional district the election of Curi.s, re
publican. In the First, and Rldgely, pop
ulist In the third. Is conceded on botn
sides. The Kansas City ilmes, demo
cratic, claims a fusion victory In each of
the five other districts, though admitting
that tho result In the Sixth district will
be very close.
The Journal, republican, claims the
election of Calderhead. republican. In the
Fifth district, and in the Second. Fourth.
Sixth and Seventh district the result U
wholly in doubt.
NEW YORK.
NEW YORK. Nov. 9-The legislature
is republican by 24 on Joint ballot.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Theodore Roosevelt, governor-elect of
New York, although a comparatively
young nun. Is no stranger to politics or
to offices of trust. He graduated from
Harvard In 18S0: elected to the stats as
sembly as a republican In 1SS1, and served
three consecutive terms. In 1& he was
the machine republican candidate for

service commissioner by President Harri

of the police board in New York city;
was appointed by President McKlnley

COLUMBUS. O.. Nov. 9.-On later re
turns the republicans claim the election
of White, republican, to congress in the
Third.
NEW JERSEY.
TRENTON. N. J.. Nov. 9.-The latest
returns Indicate some doubt as to the
republicans having curried Mho ThlrU
district for congress. Howell, republican,
has carried Middlesex and Somerset
counties by about 800, but returns from
Monmouth are meagre and conflicting.
Monmouth Is naturally a democratic
county, and Convery, democrat, may
have defeated Howell.
IDAHO.
BOISE. Idaho, Nov. 9. Returns to S
a. m. Indicate the correctness of the
claims of fusion leaders. If they are
borne out the state will go for the fu
sion ticket by from 6,000 to 8,000.

dence cannot be denied. Returns at I
a. m. from 219 precincts showed a net
gain of 3,4a.
NEVADA
CARSON. Nev.. Nov. 9. The election
tate. according to the latest re
turns, has resulted in the election of
McMillan, republican, for governor, over

gress. The legislature, which will be
republican. Is believed to he favorable
to the re-election of Senator Stewart.
WASHINGTON.
SEATTLE. Nov. 9,-Returns from tha
state of Washington are yet Incomplete,
but enough are at hand to make certain
that the republican have overcome
the fusion majority of 12.000 of two years
