nrger plurality. Figures on the remalnd-M

has escaped the fate Qf lta head. Hlnshaw,
republican. Is elected to congress In the
Fourth d'strlct, bat It Hremi certain that
he la the Only representative the Nebraska
republicans wilt have In the lower house
of the next congress. Figures on tha legis
Utur are by no means complete, but both
branches will probably be democratic iand
the entire atate government, therefore, In
the hnr-d of the democrats.

today with a great deal of satisfaction and
Is calculated to have a good and lasting
effect on the markets here and to give ad
ditional Impetus to the already Improving
trade conditions. Bankers see In the result
of the elections the probabilities of a con
tinuance of cheap money and the main
tenance of the discount rate of the bank
of Bngland, 2Vi per cant, and they con
sider that with money so cheap in the
United Slates as well as In most financial
centers, London will get through the year
without anything higher than a 8 per cent
bank rate, should any Increase occur.
Business started early in the day, . the
members of the stock exchange with their

opened at 1:46 and trading continued on a
higher level, the most active 'stocks being
Union Pacific at 182, Southern Pacific, 114;
United States Steel 514 and Amalgamated
Copper 84. Support came principally
from America, the English continental
houses so.llng at. the higher quotations.
American arbitrage brokers, . however,
freely absorbed the offerings and only a
small "fraction of the rise disappeared.
After, luncheon, however, things slackened
and - dealers awaited the receipt ef the
New York openings. Prices were merked
down by fractions and "P to one point.
Union Paclfte receded to 181. '

mander of the American fleet at Amoy,
for his congratulations upon the anniver
sary of the birth of the Dowager Empress.
The foreign press bf China makes favorable
comment of the visit of the American bat
tleships, but the central government and
the Chinese people, so far as the latter
are informed, are humiliated over the fact

Sperry came to China.
The preaenece of the American ships at
Amoy has again directed attention to the

est! between the two countries Is entirely
unfounded.
The American speakers showed keen ap
preciation of the receptions accorded them

CINCINNATI, O., Nov. 4.-"I believe I

William H. Taft was sitting in the library
of his temporary home, the C. P. Taft resi
dence, this morning when he gave expres
rlon to the above declaration. Going more
Into ditall as to the returns he added:
"In my own state and Indiana the result
was very much affected by the local liquor
questions, and It Is very difficult to figure
out just how It operated. The sweeping
victory In New York, Massachusetts, New
Jersey and Connecticut Is especially grati
fying to me." .
Although Judge Taft was up the greater
part of the n'ght scanning the reports as
they were received over the. wires, which
had been Installed at the house, he arose
early tills morning. The cheery household
within the Taft mansion was in striking
contrast to the appearance outside, where
was plainly visible the remnants of the
midnight demonstration of the thuosands of
Cincinnati cltisens bent on congratulating
their honored cltlsen.
"Is 'President-elect Taft' the proper title
now?" was asked.
"Just Mr. Taft, If you please," was the
cheery reply. "You know I sm not elected
president yet, and will not be the president
elect until after the meeting of the electoral
college. We shall endeavor to remain in
our capacity as private cltlsen as long as
possible."
While it is somewhat of a disappointment
to Judge Taft that his .two sons and
daughters are not with him at this time
the home conditions at the Taft residence
rxdiate with good cheer and family felicity.
Charles P. Taft, his wife and daughter.

of the moat gratifying things that Aunt
Delia can be with us," the judge remarked
this morning. "She is of my father's fam
ily and lived with my mother constantly
after his death."

FOREIGN PRESS WELL PLEASED
London Pnpern Resjnrd Outcome of
Election with Cirent Sntls
fnctlon. LONDON, Nov. '4. The prejiV of Lon
don regards the election of William II.
Taft as a matter for general and world
wide congratulation, as It "Insures the
continuance of a policy." which has been
greatly approved In England.
"The policy which Mr. Taft has Inher
ited," potats out the Evening Standard,
"Is In a large measure accountable for
the leap to the front made by America In
recent years, and her present position, as
a power among the powers Is due, to an
unusual extent, to Mr. Taft's labors In
close alliance with President Roosevelt"
The Westminster Gasette regards the
success of William H. Taft as a victory
of the man rather than the policy. "Mr.
Taft In his admirable record of adminis
trative efficiency, . baa shown himself
safe, shrewd and resourceful, while Mr.
Bryan never recovered In the popular es
teem from sowing his wllcj oats on the
sliver question. We have yet to see what
would happen In the United " States if a
really powerful 'man were to appeal
boldly to the rarial Instincts of the
masses against the domination of the
wealthy men In tne United States. Mr.
Hearst reserves tht role to himself."
.Pursuing the satne Mem, the Globe ex
presses the opinldn that the defeat of
Mr. Bryan has cleared the way. for Mr.
Hearst to obtain a presidential nomination
In 1912, either an the candidate of the
democrats, "or some more extreme and
more powerful Organisation springing
from the ruins of he democracy."
The Globe considers. that the world at
large may heartily congratulate itself
upon the election pf Mr. Taft.
GOMPERS ; WILL FIGHT ON
Hend of Federation of Labor Declares
lit Will Not Yield in
Efforts.
WASHINGTON, ) Nov. . "Temporarily,
defeated, but not )onquered." is the way
President Gompers ' of the American Fed
eration of Labor vjewed the election In a
statement issued today as follows:
. "The organised Workers stood true to
the cause of justice and human freedom.
This Is not the first time 'in the struggles
of the masses that entrenched wealth,
privilege and power gained a material,
even though a temporary victory. The
moral Influence of the campaign Is with
the cause of the workers. The part labor
took compelled the discussion to be de
voted almost exclusively to the labor ques
tion, labor movement and the principles
of right, justice and humanity upon which
their philosophy and demands are based.
Even though disappointed with the Im
mediate result there is ho loss of confi
dence in the Justice of labor's demands
and their successful achievement. Action
consistent, Insistent and persistent will
achieve for' the toilers the triumph of the
cause of labor and the cause - of human
Justice."
GUFFEY- RUBS. DEFEAT IN

' KnMcy. "
PITSTOURG, Pa., Nov. 4.-Colonel J. M.
Guffey, whowas defeated as national com
miteeman from Pennsylvania at the Den
ver convention, commenting upon the de
feat of William J. Bryan,' said:
"I gave out a statement at Denver, July
23, covering my views as to the duty of the
Denver convention. I did the best I could
to bring about a different ticket, but failed.
The outcome today clearly shows the folly
of that convention allowing Itself to be
dominated and dictated to by one family.
j Let us hope that the early future will give
us a democratic party wherein personal
ambition will be nored and fundamental
principles prevail.'"'

David Turple surrendered his office to

. The final figures regarding the result
In the house probably will show little
change in numbers on the respective sides,
but there will be a considerable shifting
In the personnel of that body. A number
of surprises already have been recorded
and probably the most pronounced was the
defeat of representative Hepburn of the
Eighth Iowa district. Mr. Hepburn has
been In congress so long and as chairman
of the committee on Interstate commerce
had been so prominent that he had come
to be regarded as almost u fixture In
Washington. He whs a strong supporter
of tho president' policies.
Two Chouses in Indiana.
Washington was quite unprepared for
the retirement of C. B. Landls and Jesse
Overstreet of Iridlana. Both hold chair
man; assignments and tiHve been long In
the service. That Gt-neral Sherwood, the
Independent democrat from the Ninth Ohio
district, who sprang Into notice during his
one term through his sharp differences
with his soldier colleague, General Kelfer,
is elected, is not surprising, as he was
elected In 1908 by a majority of forty votes
In a district which had hitherto been over
whelmingly republican. The tlefeat of J. T.
McCleary by Mr. Hammond In the Second
Minnesota district, brings to mind the fact
postmaster general to make the
recent race. Republicans generally are de
lighted with their gain of two members
from the.- new state of Oklahoma. The
change will give the republicans three of
the five members of the house from that
state.

TRENTON, N. J., Nov. 4.-Revised re
turns glvr Taft a plurality In New Jersey
of about 70,000.
These figures as the later returns come In
may possibly Increase the majority given
Roosevelt fuur years ago.
One of the surprises was tho small plur
ality given Mr. Bryan yesterday In Hudson
county. Unofficial figures place this at
1.700. Four years ago Parker had 1.33S. This
year Klnkead and Hamll. democratic fan
democratic leader of Hudson county, was
Tenth districts, which comprise Hudson
county, carried the county by combined
pluralities of 14,600. 'Robert Davis, the
democratlo leader of Hudson county was
the one conspicuous leader in New Jersey
who favored Mr. Brian's nomination.
Essex county, the home of former United
States Senator Smith, Jr., gives Taft about
K.0CO plurality. Roosevelt carried the county
fuur ytars ago by a.MS.
WEST VIRGINIA
CINCINNATI. Nov. 4 While fuller
figures this afternoon showed that Taft
had carried Wel Virginia by a safe plu
rality of several thousand the state ticket
may not have gone through with him.
Bennett, democrat, for governor, having
the best of the argument in probably halt
the slate. In these figures Bennett had
more than 1.000 plurality, but the figure
was so small that the republlcsn found
satisfaction in the possible overturning
of that amount and claimed the entire
State ticket The democrats, however, re
fused to concede anything.

the third defeat of his lift's ambition to

Returns today Indicated that Mr. Taft

for Tuft, It gave Chanler a margin of W.M3.
With thirty-one united Slates senators
to be elected by statu legislatures, chosen
yesterday or earlier In the fall, the repub
licans will retain their control of both
houses of congress, the precise figures be
ing subject to change, however.
New England, New York, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania rallied to Taft with not
able majorities. Maryland's returns today
dwindled Taft's plurality, as claimed last
night, until Bryan appeared to have nar-v
rowly carried tha state.

General Resnlts Not Affected by Out
come In Them.
NEW YORK, Nov. 4. The overwhelming
republican victory in yesterday's elections,
which will carry William II. Taft Into ths
the White. House, is Hot materially affected,
so far as the chief result Is concerned, by
the fact that late today the result In sev
eral states remained In doubt.
The uncertainty . also extends to several
of the legislatures which will choose United
States senators to fill vacancies caused by
expiration of terms, of which there are
thirty -one.
The uncertainty this afternoon may be
summarised as follows:
Colorado Returns very incomplete. Thtl
stutn probably democratic.
Indiana For Taft but the governor,
Thomas It. Marshall Is probably elected
over James K. Wutson.
Idaho Almost certainly for Taft. Legis
lature probably republican.
Missouri In doubt, clulmed by both par
ties for president. But for governor. Had
ley. republican, Is leading Cowherd, demo
crat, by 16.000 pn incomplete returns.
Maryland In doubt, but probably for
Bryan by about 1.000 with four counties
incomplete.
Nevada Probably for Bryan.
Ohio Taft's plurality estimated at W.OuO.
