ORDER CAUSES DELAY
Added Work for Torrnt Superintendent
In llliirk llllli.
The recent order Issued bv the com
missioner of the general land oillee
requiring the superintendent of the
Rlack hills forest reserve to pass upon
all mineral lands on the reserve en
tered for patent is causing much an
noyance and delay In the Issuance of
pntents. There have not been any
patents received at this office for min
eral lands for over a year, and it de
velops that they arc being held up by
the general land office pending Investi
gation and report by the superintend
ent of the forest reserve. This repoit
must be as to the general character of
the land, whether or not In his opin
ion it Is more valuable for mineral
than for agricultural purposes, loca
tion, water courses, and contour of the
T region. It Is asserted that this ruling
has been made entered as mineral In
years past that did not contain any
mineral, and It is the Intention of the
department to prevent lraud. The
claim is made, however, that there are
very few cases where actual Traud was
Intended. At that time the land was
not subject to homestead entry, and
the only way by which It could be ob
tained was under the mineral law. The
new regulation will add greatly to the
duties of the forest superintendent.

to congress, takes an optimistic vlc.vf
of tho future of the republic. He refers
to the remarkable good order that has

nature of the Cuban people. Tho
president says also that the sanitary
condition of Cuba Is today even better
thnn it was during the period of Amer
ican Intervention.
"Our relations with the United
States," continues the message, "aro
especially ctudlnl. Proof of this is
found In the negotiations between
Cuba and the United Stntes for a com
mercial treaty on a basis of mutual
tariff concessions. It can be hoped,
fioni the sympathy with which tho
American people regard us. and from
the manifest Interest which Piosldont
Roosevelt entertains in the prosperity
of Cuba that n reasonable arrange
ment by means of this tienty, can bo
arrived at."
President Palma's only reference to
the Plutl amendment was contained In
a Btatemrnt to tho effect that he had
made ample appropriation to carry on
sanitation as provided for in the
amendment.

HOW THE SENATE WILL HE.

Four Scats
A Washington. Nov. 4. dispatch says:
The next United States senate will bo
republican by at least sixteen majority,
against the present majority of twenty.
The present senate contains llfty four
republicans, thirty-four democrats.
The terms of thlry senatois expire
with tho present congress. There Is a
vacancy from Mlchl m. caused by the
death of Senator MiMllkin. Of these
thirty-one seats to be liled. not includ
ing two from Delaware, but including
the McMillan wusiney. nineteen sue
now republicans and twelve democrats.
Wellington of Maryland being classi

sas. McLnttrin ot South Carolina, Tel

As It now stands the republicans nre
sure of llfty-two, and tho clenionrals,
thirty-four scats in tho next senate.
Tho result of contests, owing to mengre
returns nt this hour. Is still in doubt in
Nevada, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, with
chances favoring the elect Ion of dem
ocratic legislatures In Colorado. Idaho
and Nevada, and a republican legisla
ture in Utah. If these probabilities
should be realized, tho uenato will
stand flfty-tliren republicans to thirty
soven democrats with a loss of four
to tho republicans, compared with the
present political dovlslon. If tho pres

should bo called In extra session and
should be able to get together and elect
two republican senators before tho next

It will be sufficient ror all party

by a plurality estimated at almost inn-
ono. while the legislature Is overwhelm

The inilitationii In New Hampshire
are that N. S. ilati hehler. lepubllcan
candidate, wnt elected over Henry F.
Hollos, democrat, by u plurality eir at

lican in both branches by huge ma

cessor to Senator (lalllnger.
In Illinois, wlille olllclal figures are

the republican ticket has been elected
by a good majority, and thai the next

In Maryland the election was only
ror congressman, the republicans elect

In Michigan tho republicans elected

Is htiongly republic nn, thiw assuring
the elc'ction of ex-Secretary or War

In New Jersey there was no change
in the present situation. The demo

of the stale and Irgislatuio remains
with tho republican party.
Massachusetts went strongly repub

natty being elected.
In Rhode Ipland the democrats elect
ed the Hon. L. E. Gnrvln governor,
but with this exception the republican
state ticket will go through. The leg
islature is republican.
In California the returin Indicnte
that the governoiship is in doubt. The
legislature probably will bo republican.
Tho latest repoit from Montana
gives the stnte to the republicans.
However, the democrats do not con

Tho result from the Icgit-luturo In
Delawato Is in doubt, nnd n dead-lock
as was tho case two years ago, Is a
possibility.
Ohio Is claimed by the republicans by
n plurality or morn than 100,0011. and
possibly eighteen ot the twemy-ono
congressmen.
In Minnesota a plurality or .'(00,00(1 Is

Indiana is estimated to have given

At the lundqunrfcrs (lie accouutunts
tnbnlatcd the icturns. The first twenty
precincts to be hcnid liom gave a de
rided impetus to Thompson stock, a",
they showed a gain for liltn of nearly
(100.
It required' a gain of about eight
votes to tin precinct to wipe out Judgo
Sedgwick's majority or 12,000. Thu
gain or Thonipwn averaged about four
to it precinct, outside of Lancaster and
Douglcs, I nil lent lug that unless unex
pected changes occur in Hie later io
tnrus, Mr, Mickey will be elected by
nnywhcie from five to eight thous-nd.
Tills computation takes no account of
Umcaster county, which will give
Mickey 2,000 majority or practically the
majority that was given Judge Sedg
wick, nor for Douglas, which in expect
ed to give sw large a majority for Mr
Thompson.
Am the night moved on returnn
beenme t.tlll more favorable to Mr.
Mickey, lending republicans to believe
that his success could be considered
certain. It is believed that the country
precincts will come In at the close mi
stiougly for Mickey as the first pre
linctn heard rrom went ror Thompson,
thus making the total even mote fa
vorable than the figures printed tills
morning would Indicate.
Outside of Douglas stud Lancaster
counties the vote Inst year was up
pioxlnmtely 180,000. Out or this vote
Judge Sedgwick received a majority of
about 9,000. When :140 precincts repre
senting nbout r,000 votes had been
lecclved, Thompson had made a net
gain of lr4 votes over Hollenbcck.
Now this represents nbout oiio-fuuith
of the votes outside of Douglas and
Lnnt'iwter. If he gnlns In the rest ns
he linn In this ouc-rourth he will come
up to Ui n caster and Douglas with a
gain or about .1.800. Assuming that
Lancaster und Douglas offset each oth
er, the net majority or Mr. Mickey will
then by 0,000 less S.SOO. or between
five unci six thousand.
Some experts who analyzed the fig

Mr. Mickey's majority would iciich
