IOWA.

DKS MOINKS, la., Nov. 4.—At 12:30 sca1tering_rctnrns throughout the state indicate that Holes (dem.) is elected ov no over

Of

Wheeler (rep.) by a reduced plurality. The vote will be very close, however, and the deinoratio plurality not likely to exceed 2,500. Both committees liere claim

uov. HOIKS the election of the governor. Chairman Mack, of the republican committee, said: "Returns are very incomplete, but a •carefulJJestlmate places .Wheeler's plurality at from a,500 to 3,000. Later precincts, I believe, will show greater republican gains, as they will be from country districts." Chairman Fuller, of the democratic committee, said: "1 claim the state for Boies by the same plurality as two years ago, 5,500. We have nothing definite upon which to base our estimate for the rest of the ticket and the legislature." Two hundred and fifty-eight precinets give Wheeler 35,037, ltoies 34,583. The same precincts in 1S89 gave Hutcliiason 30,404, Boies 30,14:2. This is a net republican gain of 117.

Boies' plurality two years ago was 5,438. At the present rate of gain Wheeler would be able to overcome this plurality, the total number of precincts being I,941. The dema a a in governor, but the republicans on that the country townships will help them H. C. WHEELKR. out. The rest of the republican ticket, it is believed, is safe. Wheeler running behind his ticket in almost every precinct. The. republicans claim the legislature, but returns on this havo so far .been very meager. All reports received indicate the heaviest vote ever cast

ILLINOIS.

CHICAGO, NOV. 4.—Election day in this city, which it for county officers only, marked fKe Introduction' of the Australian system of voting in Illinois. Considering the fact that it was the first trial of the system, the method proved all that was claimed for it There was an utter absence of the scenes of violence and episodes of a scandalous character which have heretofore marked the day of an election in Chicago. The republicans gained a distinct victory at several points, notably in electing a complete board of county commissioners. Eckart and Boldenweok, the republican candidates, and Cooley, one of the democratic candidates for drainage trustees, were elected.

A special election was held in Montgomery county to elect a county judge to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Judge Louis Allen. Full returns have not yet been received, but the indications are that George B. Cooper (rep.) has been elected ^7 about 400 majority. This county usually gives a democratic majority of over 600.

R. G. Breeden {r&p.) was elected county judge in McDonougli county by a majority slightly over 100. The new election law received a thorough trial and worked satisfactorily to all.

The proposition to issue $50,000 worth of bonds to build a new courthouse in Menard county was defeated by about 300. McAlee (Dem.) was elected commissioner by a small plurality.

HBPUB1.ICAK8 WI.V IS DETROIT. (DETROIT, Mich., Nov. 4.—Returns are slow, but present indications are that the republicans will elect their cittickct by a large majority. Mayor Plngree (rep.) will run considerably ahead of the rest of the ticket Republicans also elect fifteen out of sixteen alderman.

KANSAS.

TOPRKA, Kan., Nov. 4.—Nine district judges were voted for in Kansas Tuesday and In each of eighteen counties the following officers: Treasurer, clerk, sheriff, register of deeds, surveyor, coroner and one county commissioner. I* complete returns from forty-seven counties show great losses for the people's party. In only two of them (Harper and Lynn) have the alliance made a clean sweep. The others show almost invariably republican victories or republican gains. In Topeka prohibition was made an issue and the democrats made great gains and have elected a portion of their ticket The straight republican ticket has carried the city of Wichita.

NEBRASKA.

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 4.—The democrats had no state ticket in the field, and the fight was between the republicans and independents. The candidates for supreme judges were A. L. Post and Joseph W. Edgerton, republican and independent respectively. For regents of the state university the republican candidates were Charles H. Marple and H. P. Shumway, and the independents A. E. D'Allemand and E. A. Hadley.

In many of the western counties the democrats did not put up local tickets, but surrendered their strength to the independents. In most of the large citics and towns, including Omaha, there were factional fights, and t])e result has been that hardly a straight ticket has been voted. In Omaha the religious question played a prominent part The American Protective

nssov.iitH.in. an anti-Catholic society, ha a large membership, and the fight jvas between it and the Catholics. The contest WHS bitter, but there was no trouble at the polls, although much had been predicted. The complicated tickets have made the count very slow.

Sixty-four towns and precincts outside of Omaha give Post (Hep.) 3,74S| Edgerton (R A.), 3,808. Post's majority will be in the neighborhood of 15,000. ltotli the republican candidates for regents of the state university are also elected. Honors split about even in Omaha, but the republicans have the mayor.

COLORADO.

DKNVKII,

Col.,' Nov. 4.—There were

five tickets—the republican, democratic, prohibition, people's party and people's non-partisan—the first two polling the vote, the other three being side shows. No state officers were voted for except for cl.ief justice of the supreme court. The indications favor the election of Judge Helm (rep.) to the chief justiceship and that the proposition to issue a new bonded indebtedness of 8300,000 to complete the state building has been carried. Helm's election is claimed by the state republican committee by over 5,000. At democratic headquarters no estimates have been made.

CONGRESSIONAL EI.ECTION RESULTS. WASHINGTON, NOV. 4.—Six congressmen to fill vacancies were elected Tuesday. In the Fifth Michigan district vacated by the death of M. E. Ford (rep.), Charles E. Belknap (rep.) was elected over John T. Lawrence (dem.) by from 1,200 to 1,500 votes. In the Twenty-second New York district the seat lately resigned by I. W. Russell (rep.) will be filled by N. M. Curtis (rep.), he having defeated W. F. Porter (dem.) by a considerable majority. The Second South Dakota district vacated by the death of John M. Gamble (rep.), elected John J. Jolly (rep.) by about 4,000 majority, he beating J. M. Woods (dem.) and H. W. Smith (ind.). In the Second New York district Alfred C. Chapin (dem.), ex-mayor of Brooklyn, was elected to the seat resigned by David A. Boody (dem.), beating Henry Bristol (Rep.). In the Tenth New York district Bourke Cockran (Tammany dem.) defeated James B. Townsend (rep.), and John Houser (social labor). This seat was vacated by the death of Gen. Spinola. The Twelfth NewYork district was the one represented by Roswell P. Flower. He resigned to run for governor, and the candidates were William McMichael (rep.), .Toscpli L. Little 1 (Tammany dem.), David Devenney (county dem.) and John J. Flick (social labor.) Little was clcctcd.

Shcelian is not doing as well as Flower, but his election is assured. At 10 o'clock Gov. Hill sent a telegram to l'oliee Commissioner Martin, claiming the state for Flower by 4,000 plurality. The first dispatches told that Mr. Fassett had been cut severely in Rensselaer county and that lie had gained astonisliiugly in Monroe. The smaller towns seem to give him a decreased vote from that obtained by Miller in 1SS8, while Flower seemed to approach very nearly the vote given to David H. Hill.

The democracy carried both congressional districts, the Tenth and the Twelfth. Little, of the latter district (Flower'sl. was elected, and Cockran reelected from the Tenth. The list of

his plurality at from 3,000 to 5,000. The fallowing is given as a conservative estimate of the vote: Boston—Russell, 86,783 Allen. 23,433. Towns—Russell, 00.142: Allen, 71,175. Other cities—Russell, 61,100 Allen, 58,500. Total—Russell. 157,975 Allen, 153,108. Returns from the western part of the state seem to indicate that the republican state ticket", except the governor, has been elected. It is conceded that the democrats may have elected the lieutenant governor and auditor. It is too early to make any estimate as to the composition of the legislature.

PENNSYLVANIA.

PHILADELPHIA. NOV. 4.—Returns received up to midnight show in thirty counties out of sixty-seven an increase for Gregg and Morrison, the republican candidates for auditor and treasurer, over the Boyer vote. TIWs indicates the election of the republican state tiekct by at least 35,000 majority. Philadelphia, Lancaster, Tioga and the heavy Republican counties are to be heard from. Philadelphia, with one ward to hear from, gave Gregg a plurality of 28,180. It also elected McC'reary (rep.), candidate for city treasurer, by 20,906. Republicans claim the state for Gregg by 40,000 majority.

NKW JKIIHKV.

THKNTON. N. .1.. Nov. 4.—The latest figures on the legislature show that it will stand: Senate—Republicans, 5 democrats, 1(1. House—Republicans, 20 democrats, 40. This makes the election of a democratic senator in 1893 almost certain.

OHIO.

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 4.—At midnight Gov. Campbell conceded the election of McKinley by 15,000 majority. Chairman Leal, of the deinocratie state central committee.HISO concedes McKinley'a «1 11 At 11

o'clock it appeared that a majority of the legislature had been secured by the republicans. The returns are quite fragmentary. Two M'KIXI.KY. hundred and ninety-five precincts in Ohio outside of Cincinnati give a net republican gain of S,124. This is about one-eighth of the state.

CINCINNATI. NOV. 4.—The Lincoln club of Cincineati estimates MeKinley's plurality in Hamilton county at 0,?i00 and in the state from 18.000 to 20,000. The club's estimate, made at 10 o'clock, is based on returns from loi precincts outside of Cincinnati and on thirty precincts in Cincinnati. These show a republican loss in Hamilton county and a democratic loss in the rest of the state- E.cGov. Foraker, who is in the city watching the returns with interest, estimates a plurality for McKinley iu Ohio of 15,000.

The elections in Ohio were for governor, lieutenant governor, auditor of slate, treasurer of state, attorney general, judge of supreme court, member of board of public works, state school commissioner and dairy and food commissioner, also for members of the general assembly, as follows: .Senate, 30 house of representatives, 107.

senators eleeted shows that Tammany I carried all the senatorial districts except the eighth, which was carried by the republicans. In the assembly the Tammany democracy made an almost clean sweep of the city—the republicans gaining one district, the

1

Seventh. Tammany candidates for the judiciary were elected by large ma- I joritlcs and. the board of aldermen was swept by Tammany hall as completely as in its candidates for the assembly.

Midnight ret urns from Brooklyn show that the democrats have elected their mayor, one congressman, their entire city and comity ticket, seven aldermen at large, eight district aldermen, three civil justices and live supervisors.

MASSACHUSETTS.

There were five tickets in Hamilton oounty— the republican, the democratic, the prohibition, the people's and the veteran republicans. This lastnamed ticket existed only in Hamilton county. The four other tickets were voted for all over the state. The composition of the last general assembly was: Senate, republicans, 17 democrats, 19. House, republicans, 54". democrats, 60. Joint ballot, republicans. 71 democrats, 79.

MARYLAND.

BALTIMORE. Md., Nov. 4.—Frank Brown (dem.) is elected governor by an estimated majority of 15,000, and the. vote for the other democratic state officers will be about the same as his.

In the legislature, which will elect a successor to Senator Gorman and also fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Wilson, the democrats will have a majority of about 34 on joint ballot, insuring the return of Senator Gorman and the election of ex-Con-grossmau Gibson as his colleague in the senate.

MISSISSIPPI.

JACKSON, Miss., Nov. 4.—Exclusive of a little curiosity felt over the new manner of casting ballots there has been no interest or excitement over the election in Mississippi. The vote will be remarkably light throughout the state. In this city the negroes who could vote declined to exercise their privilege.

VIRGINIA.

RICHMOND. Va., Nov. 4.—Returns so far received indicate that the. democrats have gained three members of the lower house in Brunswick, Surrey and Dimviddie counties. They elect sixteen members in the state without opposition, and so far no county has shown the choice of a republican or independent. The democrats claim every senatorial district in the state and reports received so far indicate that this is the case. The democrats will have at least four-fifths of the house. Two alliance candidates and one "straight out" republican have beon elected to the house.

TERRIBLE KEVENGE.

A Brooklyn Man Kill* the Deatroyer of His Happiness. PEEKSKII.L, N. V., NOV. 4.—Charles Bliscli, proprietor of the Eagle hotel, In this city, was shot and instantly killed Monday afternoon by H. Betts, of Brooklyn. A year ago Betts transferred 8100,000 to his wife. He says that Bliscli alienated his wife's affections and she left him, taking with her bis children. It is surmised that part of the 8100.000 which Betts transferred to his wife was used in purchasing the Eagle hotel, which Bliscli bought about ten months ago.

From an Italian Point of View. ROME, Nov. 4. —The Italia in a leading article says: "The United States has one diplomatic rule for Chili and another for Italy. It has virtually closed by the McKinley bill the markets of the United States to Italian wares and products, and the United States seeks to be high suzerain over all America. All Yankees unscrupulously follow politics as 'a business, even when international affairs are concerncd. But the time may cogae when Europe will lay aside petty differences and call the United States to a more exact and precise notion of the law of nations."

It is certain that ft mob wiiuhl not now move on the Tracy City and Innuin prisons unless they were determined to do or die. Dispatches received here from several points in Kentucky state that over yOO convicts have been captured and are held to await instructions from the state or the lessees. lov. Kuehanau has offered a reward of ^5,000 for the arrest and conviction of the leader of the. mob at Oliver Springs and one of 8*250 for every man convicted of participation in the riot.

Sooner or later they will be returned to the mines, with force enough ti hold them there. In Knoxville the feeling is that the law must be upheld while it stands on the books.

Nov. 4.—.ludge Ross, of th Cnitcd States circuit court, has granted the motion of the defendants to instruct the. jury to return a verdict of not truiltv iu the case of the United States against C»eorge A. Hart and o.trdo Trumbuii. who have been on trial here for a week charged with fitting the Chilian steamer Itata witlwirms to cruise against the lale government of Chili. The court granted the motion on two points: First, that the indictment framed tinder the neutrality laws was defective in not stating that a state of war existed in Chili and that the defendants were belligerents and had been ivcognized as such: that tin charges would not hold because the statute contemplated a state of war: also that a vessel coming to the I nitc States to get arms and carryitiir them peaceably away was not titting out ait expedition that had already been set on foot in Chili and was being conducted from there, not from the I'niied States. This decision will also result in dismissing the USING against the vessel and her arms.
