THE NATIONAL CONTEST NOW SETTLED.
Tlio Jlcpuhlteitns Will Taktt Charge of Gov
ernment Affairs After the 4th of March.
Indiana. Tho republican hoadquart-
ors closed to-day. Chairman Huston
and Secretary Dill were each presented
with gold-headed canes by tho clerical
corps of tho committee. The democrats
now concede Indiana to Harrison by 2 , -
500. Beports to tho Associated press
confirm this , though the vote ma3r be a
few hundred more. Tho entire republi
can state ticket is elected , there being
scarcely 300 votes difference thus far be
tween General Harrison and Governor-
elect Hove3r . In tho Eighth district
Brookshiro ( dem. ) defeats Johnson
( rep. ) for congress by 65 majority. This
is a democratic gain.
West Virginia. Forty counties ,
polling 115,468 votes for president in
1884 , show a net republican gain of
4,050. The remaining thirteen counties ,
polling 16,689 votes , will at the samo
ratio of gains , give tho republicans a
gain of 794 , making a total net gain in
tho state of 4,845 , which would give the
shite to the republicans by 624 majority.
Tho indications aro that Atkinson , Flick
and Smith ( reps. ) are elected , respect
ively in tho First , Second and Fourth
congressional districts.
Wyoming. Joseph M. Care3r ( rep. ) is
ro-elected delegate to congress Ijy about
2,700 majority over Caleb P. Organ
( dem ) . This is nearly double any prev
ious majority.
Montana. Corrected returns give
Carter , ( rep. ) delegate , 4,500 majority in
tho territory.
California. Tho count of 116 pre
cincts in the city out-of 176 give Harri
son 24,980 , Cleveland 27,693. Tho re
publican state committee claims the
state by from ten to twelve thousand.
The democratic state committee con
cedes the state to tho republicans , but
by a small majority. Tho latest fisrnres
indicate tho election of four republican
congressmen. Three of the congress
ional districts are very close.
New York. An extra World says
that Chairman Brico , of the democratic
national committee , concedes the elec
tion of General Harrison. The World
puts California and Indiana in tho re
publican column , and gives Harrison
233 votes in tho electoral college. The
World sa3Ts : "As the belated returns
from the congressional districts como in
the complexion of the next house grows
more and more doubtful. The republi
cans are claiming that the full returns
will give them the house. This is im
probable , but a distinct possibility.
Indiana. From nearly complete re
turns from all congressional districts , it
is claimed that the Indiana delegation
in congress will stand , democratic 8 , re
publican 5. Harrison's majority will
not be less than 3,000 , and probably
5,000. The state ticket is elected by
about the same majority.
Iowa. Sixty-one counties ( complete )
give Harrison a net gain of 10,583 , or a
plurality so far of 26,000. The remain
ing thirty-eight counties will probably
raise his plurality to 34,000.
California. Late this afternoon tho
count had been counted in 140 precincts
in this city out of a total of 176 , and the
result is as follows : Cleveland , 26,986 ;
Harrison , 26,116. Bepublicans claim
the state b3' 500.
Wisconsin. Beturns aro coming in
slowly , but enough are in to make it
certain that the state has gone for Harri
son b3' at least 18.000 , and probably 21 , -
000. Chairman Usher , of the demo
cratic committee , concedes the state to
the republicans by Blaine's plurality in
1884 , which was 14,500.
Missouri. Official and semi-official
returns have been received from ninety
of the 114 counties in the * state , and
with advices from the remaining tv.onty-
four show that Cleveland's plurality will
exceed 25,000. Francis , for governor ,
will have a plurality over Kimball of
about 12,000. 'The republican state com
mittee now concede the election of
Francis , but by a veiy small plurality.
Colorado. Beturns are slow. The
republicans claim 13S75 majority in the
state , a gain of 5,000 , and also claim
ever3r member of the lower house and
20 out of 26 senators. Beturns show the
entire republican state ticket , except
three members of the legislature , is
elected.
West Virginia. Dispatches just re
ceived from the capital of the state an
nounce that tho democratic state treas
urer , Thompson , concedes the state to
the republicans by from 400 to 700 ma
jority. This is simply a confirmation of
the heavy republican gains that have
tfeen coming in to-day. The republican
state committee here claim to have at
Itast three and probably a solid delega
tion of four congressmen.
Michigan. Harrison's plurality in
Michigan will reach 22,000 against 3,300
for Blaine in 1884. This surprisingly
large gain is undoubtedly due to the re
turn of the greenbackers to the old par
ty lines. The combined greenbackers
and union labor vote of last Tuesday will
not exceed 6,000. Comparatively few
counties have made returns of the pro
hibition vote , but St. John's vote of 18 , -
403 has been reduced nearly one-half.
Luce , republican , for governor , will havo
a plurality of about 13,500.
Delaware. Cleveland's plurality in
the state is 3,444. Congressman Penn
ington ( dem. ) is re-elected by over 3,400
plurality. The next legislature will
stand : Senate , democrats 7 , republicans
2. House , democrats 7 , republicans 14 ,
giving tho republicans a majority of two
on joint ballot.
Nebraska. Betnrns thus far received
indicate a majority of 25,000 for Thayer.
Nevada. Betnrns from the state of
Nevada , as far as counted , give Harri
son 4,443 , Cleveland 3,132. For congress
the returns as far as counted givaHar-
tiue ( rep. ) 4,105 , Cassidy 3,143.
Massachusetts. Gen. B. F. jButlei
speaking at a republican meeting to
night said Mr. Cleveland would have
been elected but for his tariff message ,
which was like a school boy's composi
tion. The victory was a western one.
New England towns gave Cleveland ma
jorities , but they ought to havo known
better. The tariff would be reduced
more than either tho Mills bill or the
senate proposed , but tho duties kept on
would be permanent. The general also
tliought the republican congress would
curtail Southern representation to cor
respond to the extent to which the ne
groes are deprived of their votes under
tho fifteenth amendment. Mexico would
be annexed to'the United States.
Oregon. Three-fourths of the re
turns of Oregon are in and show a 10
per cent larger vote than in June , and
about 10 per cent inorease in the repub
lican majority , which will bo. - > about
10,000. Allen , rep. , is ' " elected to'con
gress bj' about 5,000 majority in Wash
ington territory , a republican gain of
over 7,000 since 1884. Tho territorial
legislature will bo republican in both its
branches.
Illinois. The Chicago Tribune says
the returns from all the counties in Illi
nois on tho for vote president and gover
nor show that Gen. Harrison has carried
the state by over 21,000 plurality , while
Fifer has run ahead of Palmer over 18 , - .
000 votes. While these figures are not
claimed to be absolutely correct , as esti
mates are made in regard to many coun
ties , they may serve to show tho general
result. General Palmer , at Springfield
last night , gave up the fight , and ac
knowledged that Fifer had beaten him.
It will probably require tho official can
vass to decide whether Cook county , in- *
eluding the city of Chicago , is demo- "
cratic or republican.

THE ENGLISH CABINET DELIBERATING.
Loohlnu Up Frecedentn for tho Case of Lord
Hacfvllle.
London dispatch : It is undeniably a
fact that the cabinet to-day devoted tho
most of its time to the Sackvillo inci
dent , despito the persistent denials of
tho attaches of the foreign offico that
the affair was even mentioned.
Previous to the meeting , it is learned ,
Lord Salisbury conferred with officials
and experts in various departments with
a view of obtaining data of the most im
portant precedents touching tho case of
the dismissed minister , and ho also re
ceived dispatches by special messenger
from tho minister in attendance upon
the queen at Balmoral with reference to
tho matter. Later in the afternoon
thore wero persistent rumors in tho
neighborhood of the foreign offico that
tho cabinet had decided to leave the
Washington legation in tho hands of a
charge do foreign affairs for at least a
year , but none of tho reports could bo
traced to any reliable authority. It is
more than likely , however , that a now
minister will be appointed shortly after
tho reassembling of parliament.
Mr. Gladstone's references to the
Sackvillo affair in his speech at Birming
ham to-day wore wholly unexpected , and
although they were noticeably colorless ,
his friends would have preferred that ho
should not have made them. His re
marks will possibly be misrepresented or
misinterpreted in America and will cer
tainly enable the tories to complain that
the ex-prime minister endeavored to em
barrass the government in foreign nego-
tions of tho most delicate nature.
Mr. Buckle , tlm editor of the Times ,
had a protracted interview with Lord
Salisbur3T to-day , presumably with refer
ence to the proceedings before the Par-
nell commission , and it is whispered that
the premier expressed his disgust at the
weakness of the Times' case as presented
by the attorney general and as revealed
by the subsequent testimony.

An Officer's Good Shot.
Glenn's Falls , ( N. Y. ) dispatch : About
2:30 : yesterday afternoon two little girls ,
daughters of Bobert Sherrill and Daniel
Llo3rd , went to one of the outbuildings
of the school-house at Sand Hill. As
they stepped through the door they were
met by John Glenn , the base ball player ,
formerty of Bochester , N. Y. , who ap
proached them with cand3r in his hand.
The girls took fright and started to mn.
Little Nell Lloyd succeeded in making
her escape , but Glenn caught the other
child and brutally assaulted her. Fear
ing that the chilcl's screams might sum
mon help , he attempted to throw her
into the vault , but she escaped from him
and ran screaming across the 3ard.
Glenn scaled tho fence and a crowd
started in pursuit of him and he was
finally overtaken by an officer. Glenn
made a hard struggle to free himself ,
but was overpowered. Near the corner
of Oak and Pearl streets , however , ho
broke away from the officer and ran
into the house of M. G. Paris.
Officer Morrison got through the
throng with his prisoner as far as the
stairway. Here he drew his revolver to
keep the crowd at bay , and in the melee
that followed some one turned his arm
and the weapon accidentally exploded ,
the bullet striking Glenn under the right
jaw and taking an upward course. The
man dropped to tho ground and was re
moved to his brother's house. He will
probabty die. Glenn formerly lived in
Bochester and was at one time well
known in the state as a basoball player.
About a year ago he shot at a man
named Andrew Blake , but the bullet
missed its mark. It is said that ho has
served a sentence for a similar offense in
tho west. About two 3'ears ago he was
arrested for assaulting his niece.

SCENES AT THE HOME OF HARRISON.

Full Sway at Indlanapoll * .
Indianapolis dispatch : On Washing
ton and Illinois stroets wero gathered
large crowds shouting and cheering for
General Harrison. Tho crowds wore
I
naturally of a hilarious and humorous
disposition. It is therefore not to bo
presumed that any disrespect .of the
president was intended by the roars of
laughter and cheers thatgreeted a wagon
which passed through tho streets drawn
by a mule. Within was a big coffin. On
tho top of tho coffin sat a half a dozen
mourners carrying hugeboquets in their
hands , and , as mourners , acting with a
great lack of decorum , for eveiy few
minutes their feelings overcame them to
such an extent that they stood up and
waved their boquets and then sat down
and wiped mock tears away with bril
liant bandanas. From tho head of the
coffin hung a picture of President Clove-
land. Tlio C3'es of tho picture wore
black , whilo below was inscribed : "They
done mo up bad. " As the funeral wagon
passed along Pennsylvania avenue it
was greeted with storms of applause and
tho blowing of a thousand horns.
Probably no city in the union ever
witnessed such extraordinary and out
landish scenes of enthusiasm , and
chaotic but good-natured disorder , as
prevailed hero this afternoon and to
night. Certainly tho citizens of India
napolis never before saw such sights.
The demonstrations that occurred im
mediately following tho news of General
Harrison's nomination sink into insigni-
finauco as compared with tho scenes to
day and to-night. Thoughout the day ,
whever therain ceased falling , the dis
tant boom of cannon re-echoed tho en
thusiasm of ten thousand celebrating re
publicans. About 4 o'clock the rain
which had been pouring steadily for iivo
hours , ceased , and in an incredibly short
time the streets were again swarming
with yelling , hooting , horn blowing
thousands , marching back and forth , re
gardless of the mud and water. Penn
sylvania avenue , in front of tho postoflico
and around the New Denison , in one of
the big storerooms of. which building is
located the republican county headquar
ters , was so crowded that the muddy
street was the pedestrians' only pathway.
On both sides of the avenue , as far down
as Washington street , tho howling ,
screeching crowd had full possession ,
while tho same condition of affairs pre
vailed on Washington street for four
squares , and also along Illinois street for
t o squares.
All trains arriving in the city since
early morning brought hundreds of
country people , who were swallowed up
by the crowd and soon became imbued
with the same wild spirit of enthusiasm ,
which seemed to attack and possess
eveiybody , even many democrats. It
was a regular carnival da3Probably
the most unique feature was the wa3' in
which hats were marked with red and
white chalk. On the back of hundreds
were the figures 544 , the number of votes
General Harrison received at Chicago.
Others had "New York 11,000" chalked
on their backs , while every hat bore
some letters or figures. In the New
Denison and on the street corners wero
half a dozen professional chalkers doing
a laud office business. Dndish young
mar. would submit to have their gar
ments artistically marked with all sorts
of humorous characters. This device
that afforded the throngs the most
amusement was a miniature canoe , four
feet long , carried through the streets by
four men. Within the canoe sat a small
chubby figure bearing a striking resem
blance to the late candidate , holding tho
oars extended. The cards attached sug
gested a trip up the n 'thical Salt river ,
while a hundred men and bo3s followed ,
singing , "Good-by , oh Grover , good
' 1
bye.
The celebration was of the most humor
ous and impromptu character , and cer
tainly was not designed as a mark of dis
respect to President Clevelaud , as many
southern readers of this account might
otherwise suppose. The Associated press
correspondent spentseveralhours on the
streets witnessing the demonstration ,
but did not hear a single expression of
personal disrespect toward President
Clevelaud , and while the devices de
scribed were suggestive of a certain
breach of propriet3' toward the chief
magistrate of our nation , this feeling
will be more pronounced with the reader
than with the spectator , for the good
humor of the crowds and the enthusiasm
permeating the ver3r atmosphere offer an
explanation that the distant reader can
not fulljappreciate. .
As evening came on the factories and
stores added their hundreds to the howl
ing , screaming rabble. Between 7 and
8 o'clock the excitement nearly reached
the f renz3 * point. A few buildings were
illuminated with Chinese lanterns , and
the noise of cannon , the anvils , fire
crackers and tin horns , which continued
until after 9 o'clock , could be plainly
heard as far out as General Harrison's
residence. The general and his family ,
except for these distant echoes , were
unconscious of the stirring scenes in the
city.
city.Except for a short Aralk yesterday and
this morning. General Harrison has not
left his residence since election day.
Just before dark a train load of enthu
siasts came in from Danville. They were
mostty members of the first Lincoln
league organized in the state. With
flags flying , men pushing , singing and
shouting , drums , tin horns , brass bands
and cannon , all uniting to make an in
describable medley , the Harrison resi
dence was reached. As the crowd
surged into the j'ard General Harrison
"
ventured to look"out of tho south bay
window. He was seen immediatety and
the crowd broke for the window. By
this time tho spokesman of the delega
tion , Hon. J. Hull , had _ _ been ushered
into the librar > ' . He said that all they
wanted was to tonder their congratula
tions , and that no speech would be asked ,
and the general accompanied him to the
front steps. For a time each member of
the club made supreme endeavors to
conve3' his individual congratulation ,
but finalh * quiet was restored and Mr.
Hull delivered a congratulatory address ,
saying that "the people after four years
of search had found the keystone whose
loss has threatened the destruction of
the whole fabric of the government , and
now the arch is perfect and the people
" Harrison shook
are saved. General
hands with a few and then bade them a
pleasant "good night" and retired.

Elk Point ( Dak. ) special : A most out
rageous case of criminal assault on the
person of Mrs. Losa Young occurred
near here to-da3' . Joe Deruche , a
Frenchman living in Civil Bend town
ship , came home from Ponca in an in
toxicated condition , nnd finding Mrs.
Young , who is his wife's sister , at his
house he at once told her his develish
intentions. She screamed and started
for tho door , but the drunken brute
caught her , threw her on a bed and ac
complished his purpose in tho presence
r > f his wife , and despite the struggles of
his victim and the piteous appeals of his
wife. He told the women if they made
nuy outcry he would kill them both.
Mrs. Young went to Elk Point at once
ind swore out a warrant for Deruche's
xrrest , and after a hearing he was com
mitted to jail in default of $1,000 bail. (

who will gladbwelcome her as mistress j
of tho white house. One of her enthu- |
siastic admirers said 3'esterda3r : "You
may be sure that she will havo a reign
of straightforwardness in all matters ,
social and domestic , at the white house.
The immediate famiby of the president

women. Mrs. Harrison herself has
held the esteem of her Washington

Mamie Harrison , a universal favorite ;
Mrs. Scott Lord , who lives here , is an
older sister of Mrs. Harrison and is an
affable and attractive woman and her
two daughters are charming , beautiful
3'oung women.
Mrs. Parker , the wife of Lieutenant
John F. Parker of the nav3 * , is a blondo
of good figure and fascinating manner.
Mrs. Dimmock , the other daughter of
Mrs. Lord , is a 3'oung widow , the oppo

a friend by letter the condition of her
house , which has been thrown open to

A Mysterious Shooting Affair.
• Philadelphia dispatch : A very mys *
.erious shootiug affair , which will in all
likelihood cause the death of Mrs. Bettie
Stockes , residing at No. 311 Greenwich
street , occurred to-night. Early in the
evening three shots were heard in the
house , and an officer , upon investiga
tion , found that a Cuban named Fred
Baimos had shot Mrs. Stockes three
times , two of the bullets taking effect in
her face and a third one in one of her
lungs. The officer arrested Baimos ,
but only succeeded in doing so after the
prisoner had fired twice and been club
bed into insensibilitj * . Both Mrs.
Stockes and Baimos were takan to the
hospital , where the former is d3'ing and
the latter either feigning or is actually
unconscious. Not the slightest clue as j
to the motive for the crime can be
learned , the woman being unable , by (
reason of the wounds in her face to talk , i
ind the prisoner is likewise silent. Mrs.
Stockes has a 7-3ear-old child and lived '
with her husband in the house where
she received the wounds. [
Her husband , who returned to the
tionse shortly after the affair , can throw ]
no light upon it. ' .

'
enco to tho Sackvillo , incident havo boon.
issued from tho foreign office. They *
contain tho correspondence between. 5
Lord Salisbury and Lord Sackvillo con-
corning letters of dismissal from Wash- . W
ington. " \ #
On tho 27th of Octobor Lord Salisbury- ' |
cabled to Lord Sackvillo as follows :
"Mr. Pholps , who iB staying r.t my |
house , informs mo that Mr. Bayard's ro- / • >
quest to recall you is not based upon the- v
Murchison letter , but upon tho interview ' - '
which ' corro- *
3'ou granted a newspaper
spondent. I replied I was glad tho re
port was iintruo that 3our recall was due * v
to tho letter which was mado public only j
by a betrayal of confidence , and that ib /
was hardly practicable to lay down as a j
principle that a diplomatic roprcsonta- f '
tive should bo prohibited from express- /
ing even privatelj * any opinion regard- I
ing tho events passing in tho country to'j 'j '
which ho was accredited. >
"Tho languago of an interview is dif- i
ferent , and 3011 must be taken as intond- i
ing it for publication. However , before- 1
the ' for * * recall
admitting neeessiti' 30111 ,
I am bound in justice to 3011 to know the-
alleged objectionable language. j
"I havo asked Mr. Phelps for a copy ;
of the interview , in order to ascertain. 1
from it whether 3011 were accurately ro- (
ported. Then 1 will hy the matter bo-
foro 1113' colleagues.
"Mr. L'hclps replied that ho had not : '
received a copj % but would rake stops to- (
procure one. .r
"Consequentby it is understood that '
until tho copy is received I will not !
answer Mr. Bayard's request for 3'our-
recall. " }
Lord Sackvillo replied on the 28th of 5
October , as follows : "The letter which *
I answered was a political republican. t
plot. I havo mailed a full explanation. ]
to 3011. If 1113 * recall is demanded it is
duo to elections hero. I beg to express- \
mv deepest regret for what has 00- .
curred. " |
On tho 30th Mr. Phelps said that JMr. .
Cleveland hoped that another minister- i't
would be accredited. |
On the 4th of November Lord Salis- } , '
buiy received a letter mailed by Lord' Ij1
Sackvillo on the 20th , inclosing letters { f
etc. | j
Lord Sackville said : l {
"I have certain information that the- lij
Murchison letter was fictitious and was
concocted 1 > 3 * a well known firm in con- H
junction with tho republican committee J
at New York. It was-seut from south- jj
ern California to prevent suspicion.
"Mr. Bayard , whom I saw to-day , jH
said that ho regretted the incident very i J
much. He accepted 1113' disclaimer that l M
it was either my thought or intention f M
to interfere in the domestic polic3 * of j J
'
the country. It wis ; a campaign trap , 'WM
but he frankly told mo that I had been ' M
indiscreet. ImM
"I expressed my deep regret for the t M
incident , aud Mr. Ba3ard assured me- i J
that ho bore me no ill will. " \Jmm \
On the 31st of October Lord Sackville \ m\ \
cabled Lord Salisbuiy : "I must reply j l
to Mr. Ba3ard's statement of tho rca- j H
sons for 1113' dismassal as an unjust at- ! |
tack upon 1113 * integrity. " Jmm
Lord Kalisbui-3'on tho samcdaj'cabledi 'j ' H
to Lord Sackvillo to place Mr. Herbert , ] |
a senior seeretar3 * on the spot , in charge H
of the legation. ' |
On November 1st , Lord Salisbury ' mm\ \
communicated with Minister Phelps and : ! H
referred to the hitter ' s promise to pro- ' H
cure a C0P3of t'ie ' obnoxious interview i |
made by the British minister at Wash- ' |
tugtou , and said : That having no fur- H
ther information as to what Lord Sack- < |
vi lie's speeches contained or to whom , H
they were made he was unable to form ' ' |
11113 * judgment upon the consideration. | H
which dictated the request for his recall > H
or the forwarding of passports to him. j H
Mr. Phelps replied to the note on the j H
next day. He said : "M3 recollection of" H
what passed in our conversation on H
Saturday differs slightly froni yours in H
ouc particular. It was not intended to H
be understood that the letter written by 1 H
Lord Sackvillo formed a part of the rea- ' M
30ns for tho request for his recall. I did ' L\ \
say in my remarks that the newspaper- , M
interview was the principal reason. I M
im still without a copy of the interview. H
[ received a copy of 3-our lordship's note , J WM
requesting tho full details of language I " B
ind circumstances of interview. " B
In the house of lords , Lord Salisbury ' M
stated that England has assented to co- , . H
operate with Germany to prevent the v H
axport of slaves and the import of arms. / B
