Boston, Nov. 8. After a canvass
without state issues and confined ai
most, entirely to four congressional
districts, and the republicans hare
again carried Massachusetts and elec
ted Roger Wolcott governor for the
fourth time, as well as the entire state
ticket by a safe majority.
Governor Wolcott's plurality over
Bruce, bis democratic opponent, will
be about 70,000. or 15.000 less than his
lead Uat year. The vote this year was
heavier than in 1897, and Bruce made
substantial gains over Williams, the
democratic candidate last year.
Boston, Nov. 8. Returns received
at midnight from the three doubtful
congressional districts, the fifth, ninth
and tenth, indicate that the republi
cans have won in thefifthand the dem
ocrats in tbe ninth and tenth. This
is a loss to the republicans of tbe
tenth district. In which NappeB.dem.,
has defeated Barrows, rep., by about
2.000 plurality. Fitzgerald, dem., in
the ninth, returns with 2,500 plurality,
while Knox, rep., in the fifth, goes
back with about 1,100 plurality.
la Old Kentucky.
Louisville, Ky.. Nov.8. The dem
ocrats of Kentucky today carried nine
and possibly ten out of tbe eleven con
gressional districts in tbe state, a gain
of two or perhaps three over their last
delegation. The republicans carried
only one district.tbe Eleventh.solldly,
but this was always conceded by their
opponents, as it has been a republican
stronghold for years. In the Ninth
district the race between Pugh.repub
lican, and Williams, democrat, is very
close, both sides claiming it. Tbe re
publicans in the Fifth (Louisville) dis
trict talk of contesting tbe election of
Turner, democrat. Tbe vote through
out the state was the lightest known
ia years, and tbe election was entirely
devoid of exciting iacidents.
Both Claim Indlaaa.
Indianapolis, Ind., Ncv. 8. At
midnight only about 220 precincts, out
of 3,229 have been beard from, no one
county having reported in full. Re
turns .come in slowly owing to the
great number of candidates running
on the various tickets, and both par
ties claim tbe state. Chairman Martin
of the democratic committee expresses
himself as confident that the demo
cratic state ticket is elected by about
15,000 majority, together with a ma
jority of tbe legislature. The repub
lican chairman makes the same claim
for his party.
Florida.
Jacksonville, Fla., Nov.8. The
vote today, judging from returns now
in, is from 10 tc 20 per cent lighter for
both parties than in 1896. The whole
democratic ticket is elected. The
light vote Is due to tbe feeble resist
ance offered. Tbe constitutional
amendment requiring that bonds of
state officers be In sound security and
guarantee campanies was overwhelm'
ingly carried. Tbe republicans and
populists will not altogether elect over
five members of the legislature, if that
many. The legislature elected today
will choose a successor to Senator
Pasco.
California.
San Francisco, Cel., Nov. 8. In
complete returns in tbe Eight legis
lative district give Gage, rep., for gov
ernor, 185, Maguire, dem., 194. Re
turns from precincts in Fresno and
Sn Diego counties indicate that
Maguire's vote is less than that cast
for Bryan.
Mlnaeeeta Douotfal
St. Paul, Minn.. Nov. 8. At 10
o'clock tonight both parties were claim
ing the result on the state ticket. On
the legislature the republicans have all
along claimed a victory. Returns on
congressmen are insufficient to decide
auythirts'Vliough it is probable the
r e pub have at least four of the
delegattlrobably more. Apparently,
tbe result will be decided by the coun
try, jfr the two cities are about

U
B. Cook of the democratic state com
mittee, is confident of the election of
the state ticket by about the same ma
jority ai ia 1896, the party will hold
all tbe congressional districts carried
two years ago, and possibly carry one
of tbe three St. Ltuis districts with
several republican congressmen.
While there are no returns at repub
lican beadquarterajto warrant the as
sertion. National Committeeman
Richard Kerens is very confident that
the republicans will carry or come
nearer carrying Missouri than ever be
fore, lie says tbas more quiet, effect
ive work has been done by tbe repub
lican state committee than in any
previous campaign, and he expects to
see surprising results.
Tata Koaga. SUder Win..
Nw York, Nov. 9. The latest re
turns available show that Roosevelt's
plurality In tbe state is not far from
20,000. Only ten counties in the state
gave Van Wyck pluralities, and they
were all In counties swaed by cities.
The small pluralities for Roosevelt,
as compared with Black two years ago,
is due to a decrease in the republican
vote up tbe state of 61,000 and In
Greater New York, cf 62,000. Against
this Van Wyck gained 20,000 above
the Harlem and 63,000 below it, as
compared with Porter in 2896.
The result on congressmen in this
state seems to have surprised even
the democrats themselves. Nineteen
ot tbeir candidates were elected, the
republicans getting but fifteen. In the
present bouse the New York delega
tion stands twenty-seven republicans
to six democrats. In the Greater New
York all tbe democratic candidates
were elected.
After tbe gubernatorial contest as
much interest was taken in the state
egislature as in anything else. The
state senate will be republican by four
and tbe assembly by twenty.
Maryland.
Baltimore, Nov. 8. Full and semi
official returns from tbe city of Balti
more and partial returns from tbe bal
ance of the state make it reasonably
certain that Maryland has returned
four republicans and two democratic
congressmen! after an unusually close ,
but entirely listless, election. This Is
a democratic gain of two. The suc
cessful candidates are John W. Sml th
dem . First district; Win. B. Baker.
rep., Second; Frank C. Wachter, rep.,
Third, James W. Deny, dem.. Fourth;
Sidney E. Mudd, dem.. Fifth, and G.
E. Peare, rep.. Sixth district, by about
3,000.
The democrats succeeded in obtain
ing a majority of tbe popular vote in
Baltimore city for the first time In six
years, ana mere is but little aouot
tbey would have sent five congressmen
to tbe next national legislature if an
active and aggressive campaign had
been made. Tbe entire delegation.
with the exception of Messrs. Mudd
and Baker are new timber and are
looked upon as favoring a gold stand
ard of currency.
Utah U Democrat!.
Salt Lake, Nov. 9. Enough re
turns are at hand to indicate beyond
a doubt that Baskin.dem., for supreme
court judge, has been elected over
Zane, rep. From the best estim ate on
latest returns, the legislature will
stand forty-three democrats, eighteen
republicsns and four fusion.
Tenneeaee la Democratic.
Nashville, Nov. 9. Comp lete and
partial returns from eighty -four out
of ninety-six counties received tonight
give McMillan, dem., an estimated
majority of 38,000 for governor. These
figures will, however, be .reduced by
full returns and It seems tonight that
bis majority will be between 25,000
and 30,000. Tbe decrease in tbe re
publican vote is so phenomenal that
an accurate estimate of tbe total vote
in the state is impossible.
Sweep North CaroUaa.
Raleigh, N. C, Nov. 9. It looked
today like tbe democrats had made a
clean sweep of congressmen. Tbey
have certainly carried the First.Third,
Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and
Ninth. Fountain, populist, indorsed
by tbe democrats, has 1,300 majority in
tbe Second, with two counties to hear
from. His election is conceded by
some republicans. In tbe Eighth dis
trict, Lin ney, republican, is probably
elected by a small majority.
Idaho Retarae Slow.
Boise, Nov. 9. -Only forty -seven
precincts In tbe state, embracing one-
eighth of tbe vote, have reported.
Theygiye Moses, rep., 2,012; Stuen
berg, dem., 3,083; Anderson, pop. ,657.
Forty-six precincts give Heyburn,rep.,
for congress, 1,926; Wilson, fusion, 2,
632; Gunn, pop., 839. The fusion tick
et is all elected by pluralities ranging
from 5,000 to 8,000. The legislature
will be controlled by tbe f usionists.

elected by 3,000 msjority over bis only
opponent. Wren, pop. Tbe balance of
the state ticket is conceded to the sil
ver party, with the exception of
superintendent of public instruction.
The construction of the next legis
lature is a matter of conjecture. Four
fifths of the members will belong to
the silver party. Some are pledged to
Senator Stewart for re-election and
those who are not may join with tbe
republicans, democrats and indepen
dents in the organization of tbe legis
lature.
I'ennaylTanla.
PHiLAuaXPHiA, Nov. 8. Because Of
the large ticket and extensive cu tting
by independent voters the returns are
slower than usual. Enough is kno wn.
however, to indicate that William A.
Stone, rep., is elected governor by a
large plurality. Tbe vote of Swallow
in tbe state will probably be under that
of last year, when be received 118,969
for state treasurer. This city Is the
Swallow stronghold, however, and a
large vote here may increase his total
beyond last year's figures. The vote
on the legislative ticket in counties
where the republican opponents of
Senator Quay have fused with tbe
democrats is very close.
Michigan to Pingraa.
Detroit, Mich., Nov. 8. The re
publican state committee claim Pln
gree's election by from fcO.OOO to 60,000
majority. The democratic state com
mittee does not yet concede defeat.
The balance of tbe republican state
ticket is elected. The upper peninsula
gave its usual republican majority,
but there was a great amount of split
ting on governor in tbe lower pen
insula. The vote on congressmen is
close in half of the twelve districts.
tbe others returning republicans with
certainty. Tbe legislature will have a
republican majority, but whether Pin-
gree or anti on tbe equal taxation
issue is yet undetermined.
Ramlt In Iowa.
Djes Moines, Ia., Nov. 8. Han
cock, chairman of tbe republican state
committee, says: "We expect to carry
the state by about 60,000 and elect the
ntlr nnrraaafnna.l rialarrat Inn "
Sixty precincts in Iowa: Dobson
7,307, Porter 4,565. G. A. Hoffman,
secretary democratic committee, says
"From returns received so far the
state will go republican by a greatly
reduced majority."
Connecticut Staada Still.
Hartfobd, Conn., Nov. 8. Re
turns from Connecticut leave the Con
necticut delegation unchanged politi
cally. Following is tbe Connecticut
list complete: First district, E.
Stevens Henry, rep.; Second, N. D.
Sperry, rep.; Third, Charles A. Bus
sell, rep,; Fourth, E. J. Hill, rep.
lind Oarrtae Minnesota.
St. Paul, Nov. 3. John Lind, sil
ver rep., with democratic and populist
indorsement, will have not less than
10,000 plurality in the state over Eus-
tls, republican, but Lind is the only
fusion candidate to win. His plural
Ity may go several thousand above
that. Democratic Chairman Rosing
putting tbe figure at between 15,000
and 20,000. The balance of the repub
lican ticket is chosen by majorities
even greater than for Lind. All seven
of the republican congressmen have

William A. Poynter and tbe entire
fusion state ticket is elected, with
majorities ranging from 1,600 to 3,000.
The complete returns will not be in
for two or three days, but the counties
yet to report will probably increase
tbe majority for the fusion ticket.
In the senate the republicans have
seventeen votes and the fusionists
have sixteen votes.
In the house tbe republicans have
forty-eight, while tbe fusionists have
fifty-two.
This will give to the fusionists sixty-
eight votes on joint ballot, which is
one more than is necessary to elect a
United States senator. Senator Al
len's re-election Is therefore assured.
The vote In Nebraska this year was
an unusaally light one, and thousands
of reform voters stayed home, doubt
less thinking that tbe atate was safe
anyway. On the other hand, the re
publicans mustered tbeir entire
strength at the polls, and their effort
came near proving a costly lesson to
fusionists.
No Changea Ia Con(raaalonal Ticket.
The Nebraska delegation In con
gress will remain tbe same four
fusionists and two republicans. Tbe
following are tbe successful caadi
dates:
First District E. J. Burkett.

Third District J. S. Robinson.
Fourth District W. L. Stark.
Fifth District R. D. Sutherland.

In the First district Manahan was

THE TR00P3 ARE MOBILIZING.
Gre.t Hrltiln Oetiof Keady For a Pos
sible Conflict Witli France.
LiSDOS, Nj?. 7. (Jre.it BrtUia'a
preparations for armed conflict luve
tak'-ra a rem trkable turn to Jay.
ll troops in the western district
are uubilizing. Tba orders were is
sued by the military authorities at
Davonport, tha largest naval arsenal
dapot and dock yard in the kingdom.
Tae mooilizatioa of tua western
division, containing as it djssminy
crac regiments, is looked upon as
highly important aud significant.
Ano:Ler striking index to the situa
tion is presented by the warlike prep
arations being uiide in Italy, which
hitht-rto have been overlooked in the
rush of complications between Eng-
and and France and Russia.
The Italian warships have been
ordered to concentrate at the island of
Madalena for "extraordinary maneuv
ers.
The Italian mllitare evidently be
lieves in a war between r ranee and
England, and it declares that in such
an event the least Italy could do
would be to mobilize her navy and
army. Madaiena isiana, wnere me
warships are gathering, is the key to
the maritime defense of Italy.
There is also the possibility that
Italy's activity is a hint to Russia,
whose agents bare been intriguing
with the sultanate of Ribeita, on tbe
Had sea, which has long been an
Italian protectorate.
A dispatch has been received from
Dover announcing that the French
northern squadron is about to sail
from Brest for a cruise. It is not
known whether this squadron intends
to join tbe French southern squadron
at Toulon. The British channe
squadron is massed at Gibraltar to
watch for any such strategic attempt
on the part of France.
This is the day of meeting of the de
fense committee, which will deliberate
in secret. At the request of the war
office th9 London newspapers will
probably refrain from publishing any
thing concerning the mobilization or
work of defense committee. There is
the greatest energy and activity at the
dock yards, particularly Devonport
Among the prevision orders of that
yard are 3,000,000 pounds of cocoa
1,500,000 pounds of biscuit and 160,000
gallons of rum.
Tbe gunboats Pincher and Blazer
are in dock being thoroughly over
hauled and repaired I Every available
ship in tbe British service is being pre
pared for sea service.
It is reported throughout London
that Great Britain will be compelled
to take definite action if any reinforce
ments are sent to tbe French colonies
Dispatches from St. Petersburgstate
that the St. Petersburg newspapers
show great irritation at England over
the settlement of the Fasboda affair
and agree in declaring that ber con
duct will arouse the powers interested
in the free navigation of the Suez
canal to a common discussion of tbe
best means of preventing the final
establishment of England in Egypt.
The Novosti says that since the
Egyptian question is purely of an in
ternational character it must be solved
by a coDgress of tbe powers, which
can proclaim the perpetual neutrality
of Egypt under the protectorate of all
the powers

Augistine missed the jewelry and at
once suspected tbe boyof the theft.
He did not let the boy know of his
suspicions, however, until tney naa
started for this city with a team, when
he accused young Voghtman of steal
ing the jewelry. The ilad Jsooncon
fessed the crime and produced the
stoleu property, and his employer
brought him to town and turned him
over to the police, who placed him in
jail.
Since his arrest County Attorney
Graves learned that the boy had
recently escaped from the reform
school at Kearney, to which place be

Young Voghtman is said to be
rather weak-minded.
