IOWA. Pes Morsra.8, Nov. 5. Toe State Register says the returns show a slight republican less on the vote of 1837, but pretty evenly distributed over the state. Smith, railroad commiBIoner, and Given, for judge, run even witn Hatchinon m nearly all pre cincts. With 140 precincts to be heard from Hutchinson's estimated plurality will be 6,000. Chicago, Nov. 5. A ppeciil df patch from De Moines at 1:45 a. ra. says 3-7 tm elects in Iowa give Hutchinson 43Ji5, Boies 53, 9Cft. Dubuque. Ia. , Nov. 6 The Herald hae re turns irom sixty seven coua'iea in the state. These give I:ieB a plurality of 13, 090. The remaining thirty-two counties in 1887 gave a reputlican plurality 11. H8. Oa thi basis Boies already has a p'urality of 1,893 in sixty-seven counties, bo that ail gains in tbe remaining thirty-two counties will simply add to ' bis plurality. If the same rate of democratic gains continues tbrouglu ut the thirty-two counties Boies will have a plurality in the state of 8,000 to 10,000. Tbe Herald claims it Js now impos sible to defeat him and his plurality is only a question of gains ia the remaining third of the state. It is not known whether tbe remainder of the ticket is elected or not, for Boies runs ahead. If his majority should reech more than 0 000 it is almost certain to take tbe balance of th ticket with it.

If the republican counties on the western reserve and other parts of the state hold up to expectations, Foraker will pull through by a small majority. Columbus, Nov. 6. The democratic Etate committee is claiming the election of Campbell by a plurality of 12,000 to 15,0C0 and tbe res; of the ticket by pluralities ranging from 4.0C0 to 8.C00. These conclu sions are reached from meagre returns and mostly by estimates, but are believed to be reliable "within the range of pluralities which are given. The lepubhcan com mittee has nothing on whicli it can reliably dispute the figurep. The committee, how ever, doe? not think the complete figures will be sufficiently favorable to save any part of the ticket. Both committees and chairmen see ra to be agreed that the demo crats will carry the legislature in both branches. In an interview Gov. Foraker said: "I have sent Mr. Campbell a congratulatory telegram, and I sincerely wih him a suc cessful administration." Mr. Campbell sent the following this evening: "Hon. J. B.

St. Paul, Minn.. Nov. 6. Probably tbe most remarkable suit ever, brought in Min nesota is that filed today in the Urdted States circuit court by George M. Lyon against Albert N. Seip to recover $128,C00 ail said to have been by Lyon because ef Saip's failure in his duties as agent. The facts, as set up in the pleadipgp,are in eub sranee as follows: In December lat Mr. Lyon, ha-.ing great; faith in tb future of Dulutfi, inRtruc.cc! his cgent, Mr. Keip, to lurcbae lai-tcs, in all amounting to tweniy nve acres, which was fft'ared by tbe own ers at tbe price of 3 n p r acre. Mr. Beip failed to cio39 with tcis offer and ihe land was sold noon after to other persons. In Mxrcb following this property was am old, bricRine $C0 per icte. The alleged reason for aeip'et failure to secure the prop erty is tbat he could not secure a commis sion from the vender for negotiating the sale and purchase, and therefore allowed tho property ro be eold to perpons ofcber ihan his principal.

On Saturday and Sun day evenings the anarchists of this city will hold meetings to commemorate the death of their brother anarchists in Chica go on November 11, 18S7.

It is one of the mest venomous and radical ever published and has been distributed all over tbe country. It speaks of "baibar ous laws," "an ossapein band of 200 police men, against wnose attacks a bomb was hurled ia legitimate self-defense." etc. It declares tbat daring deed would have frustrated the hanging; instead tbe vork irg people pafsed resolution?. How differ ent it might have been with those who participated in this kind of a demonstra tion had ttey made a bold utand, ns tho urgency of the situation demanded." The circular c.ill on anarchists, trades unions, Km'shtsof Labor, Turners, free thinkers and citizens to Feize the opportunity No vember 11 to divide good and evil into two camps and rally under the standard of a social revolution. A Scarcity of Servant Girls Chicago, Nov. -5. Chicago is suffering from a famine of domestic servants. The proprietors of the intelligence offices are bemoaning the fact that the supply is less than one fourth of the demand, while the advertising columns of the daily papeis are filled with frantic appeals of house wives for domestics at any price. Thia condition of affairs is due to the fact that Chicago is ramdly becoming a "City of Homes." Thousands of people who have been boardirg for years, taking advantage of the building boom of the past twenty months have Set up establishments of tfceir own, and for scores of miles, around the city what a plain up to a little while ago is now a town or a village. At a moderate computation Feventy out of every hun dred of these new stockholders require a domestic as a necessary appendage, and a a result tho local supply has beeu more than exhausted. Ic is eald that not less than 5,000 domestics could find employ ment in the city today at wages ranging from $3 to f 6 per week. National Negro League. New York, Nov. 6.

New York, Nov. 2. A City of Mexico spe cial say a serious mutiny occurred among the escort on tbe up train from Vera Cruz Tuesday evening. A corporal and four pri vates attacked their fupericr cfiioers, ee verely wounding a lieutenant ana killing a sf rgeaut cutright. The tff cir occurred ju'-t after the train had lett Appaco, and tbe ob ject of the mutineers, who were forced re cruits, seems to have been to stop the trai a and e scape. When the train was almost due at Sotepec tho mutineers climbed on the engine with a view to foraisg the engineer to make a hair. The engineer was an Amer ican and the fireman a Mexican, and both wero heavily armed. Seeing that they would probably fail in tteir attempt, the ringleaders jumped from the train, but so unskilifully tnat ono was run over and cut in two and the other four all more or les. injured. Tbev succeeded, however, in get ting away. On the arrival at Soltepec a de tainment, of rural guards surrounded tho car and disarmed the retraining mutinoers, who were secured and taken to the City of Mex'co. It is understood the men who escaped bavo since been captured and brought to the Mty of Mexico. It is probable that the whole party will ba tried by court-martial and shot. No Decision Reached.
