Chicago, Not. s.—The returns from the entire country, although incomplete in some state*, are of a nature to insure the election of McKinley. A sufficient number es states have declared for the Republican party to make certain 263 votes in the electoral college for its leader. The states as at present figured give these results: THE BI.tCrOKAL COLLEGE. For McKiulpy. For Bryan.

The returns show some interesting features, and in some respects have been a surprise to the leaders of both political parties. The New England Btates hare, as was' expected, given heavy pluralities for McKinley without exception. The Republican ticket was successful in Massachusetts beyond what was claimed far it by the most, enthusiastic prophet of Republioau success. New York and Pennsylvania vie with each other for the largest plurality, and the figures at hand do not indicate which one of them has surpassed the ether. Each state has given the Republican candidate between 275,000 and 280,000. To these states Illinois is a good third in its plurality for the winning candidate. If the percentage of gain over the presidential election of 1892 that has «o far been shown continues to the end it will give a plurality of not far from 176,000. In the gubernatorial race Altgeld has been badly defeated, but is not buried so deep, and is probably about 60,000 ahead of the Democratic national ticket. There has been evidently a large vote cast throughout the state for McKinley and Altgeld. In Indiana (if any of the rules for estimating the vote of a state which previbM te the present election held good are still to be relied upon.) there is no Justification for the Democratic claims •f having carried the state. If the rat’ > es Republican gain continues to the end of the eeunt McKinley will Eave ap- \ proximately 20,000 plurality-in the state. In lowa, as far as can be seen from the returns at present, the Republican plurality has been very large—not far either way from 75,000. uoio, wnTfen nas all along been claimed by Chairman Jones as a state in which Bryan would push McKinley very close, has given the Republican candidate an overwhelming plurality. lu Michigan the election has resulted in a very heavy reduced vote for the Republican ticket. The free silver papers of Detroit concede the state to Mo■Kinley by 86,000. The last previous vote in the *tate was in 1896, when Moore, the Republican candidate for n \ • r •>

our gutting Indiana. una«r tncau circumstances it seems to me that we are entirely justified in claiming the election of Mr. Bryan.” RKFCBLICAN CLAIM. Mr. Payne Says McKinley Hai 204 Electors Kild Three Mtstvs in Doubt. Chicago, Nov. 6.—Henry C. Payne of the Republican national committee, in charge of headquarters, issued the following last night: "Considering the wild rumors which are being circulated throughout the country, we deem it proper and advisable to state the result of the election, us indicated by the returns reported to the Associated J’ress and confirmed by telegrams to this office from the chairmen of the severs 1 state committees and the members of the national committee in the several states. McKinley has car ried beyond a doubt a sufficient number of states, so that his vote in the electojustice of the supreme court, had a plurality of 71,487 over McGrath, his Democratic rival. West Virginia is confidently’claimed by the Republicans and the chairman of the Democratic state central committee last evening conceded the state to McKinley. Tennessee presents some of the interesting features of the campaign. Patterson, the gold Democratic candidate for congress in the city of Memphis, is running neck and ueok with his opponent, and the official count will be necessary to decide between them. The state at large is claimed by both parties, aud because of the length of the ticket the returns are coming in so slow that neither side feels justified iu claiming the electoral vote with any confidence. North Carolina is claimed by both parties, but as in Tennessee the returns are very slow and no definite conclusion is possible at present. South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana are all for Bryan by about normal Democratic majorities. The Virginia electors will without question be lor Bryan, but they have been elected by a heavily reduced Democratic vote. The Republicans have abandoned all hope of Texas,-and the state is conceded to Bryan. The fusion between the Populists and the Republicans in this state did not prove a success. Nebraska has gone for Bryan, notwithstanding Republican claims, but Kansas has as yet said practically nothing. The returns shew Democratic gains in some districts, and these are offset by Republican gains in other parts of the state. Both parties claim the state, but the few scattering returns that are ill so far are of so indefinite a nature as to make any estimates, no matter by who made, of,very uncertain character. Wisconsin is sure for the Republican column by an eno’mou* plurality. Minnesota, which was regarded a doubtful state by both parties, has surprised everybody by the size of its Republican plurality aud McKinley will have approximately 30,090 to 40.0Q0 more votes in the state than Bryan. Governor Clough, whose election was considered doubtful, is cortainly.eleeted. The latest information from the two Dakotas shows that North Dakota is very sure for McKinley and the probability that South Dakota will be found in the same column, although the result is close.

The Republicans claim Wyoming and Washington, but the probabilities seem against th “in in both states. -Oregon has gone for -McKinley ana Colorado, as was expected, hits given Bryan a heavy plurality and Adams' has without doubt been elected governor. The interest in the eleetmu in the state centered in the state tickets, of which there were several, representing a variety of interests. ■ Idaho, Montana, Utah and Neva ia have all gone for Dfyam by heavy majorities. California has, on the strength of the returns at hintd, undoubtedly gone i’o McKinley, the city of San Francisco giving him a plurality of 6,5>47. Onehalf of theoutside precincts show a Democratic gain of 41 votes, showing that the Democratic reliance upon the heav.d support of the. rural districts was not entirely warranted. Delaware,where the Republican party has been rent in twain because of the Addicts-Higgins light, has kept in the Republican column. The vote for the Republican electors in this state ha., been unusually large, showing that the factional disoute did not extend in any great measure to the national ticket. The vote of Maryland has .shown an interesting reversal from that of tho last presidential election. Clevelai. . carried the state by a plurality of 21,130 and this year McKinley has a plurality of slightly over 21,00# in the city of Baltimore alone. SENATOR JONES’ CLAIM. He Sayw Indiana or Michigan Will Elect Bryan and Counts on Thein. Chicago, Nov. 5. —Senator Jones issued the following statement last night: “I have, counted from the beginning as the states upon which we relied for Mr. Bryan’s election the southern states, tilth 166 votes, and the states west of the Missouri, with 61 votes, making a total of 217. I have hoped that we would carry Indiana, Michigan and Minnesota. I believe that we have carried every southern state except Maryland, and that we have carried all of the western states heretofore counted on, which lea ves us, not counting Dela ware, which I think we have carried, and which I have not heretofore calculated on, 309 votes. Ono vote we certainly have in Delaware and probably three. But counting only one vote, which we have beyond doubt, it loaves necessary to a choice 14 votes Either Michigai or Indiana would give us those 14 votes. The reports received by us from both those states give encouragement au>< lead as to believe that while both states *e close that we have the better chance to win and that we may probably earry both.

, ral college will not be less than 264. "In addition, Kentucky, North Carolina and Wyoming ar* in doubt, with I the chance* about even in the three state*. although the Republican* of ' Kentucky claim that the state will give ire electoral vote to McKinley by a majority of not lees than 3.000.” Mr. Payne gives a* hi* basis for these claims lato advices from the states in questien. McKinley at home. He llesvrvvM His Judg-ineufc on Results Until News Is Positive* I Canton, 0., Nov. 5. —Major McKinley spent yesterday in a comparatively quiet way at his home, seeking to recuperate from th* strain of the last few days. From the porch he reviewed several uniformed clubs and delegations from neighboring towns, but made no speeches. He has not said a word ,by speech, telephone or otherwise, and appears determined to reserve his judgment and hi* view* until every vestige of doubt on the result is removed. He sat in the library last night until 10 o'clock smoking, looking over late dispatches from wavering sections and chatting with callers. He retired at 10:15 and the McKinley cottage was dark earlier than it has been in weeks. i It is tell by those about Major McKinley that he ought in justice to himself I and to Mrs. McKinley to get away from i Canton for a few days. After the tremendous recent strain his friends went |to him and asked him to take ass r days’ respite so that normal conditions j may in part be restored. • FaulkMer’n .Estimate* Washington, Nov. 5 —Senator C. J. Faulkner, chairman of the Democratic j committee, although he does not coni cede the Republicans a majority in the ' next house, gives them 176, within three of a majority. His statement, issued last night, compares the complexion of the next, house with that-of the present one to .show Democratic gains. Final Campaign Rumor. CHICAGO, Nov. s.—The managers of one of the largest department stores in the city wired Mr. Bryan yesterday offering him a salary of S2S,(HID per annum to become manager of its legal department. No reply has been received. INDIANA. Inbi'.napolis, Noy. 5. — Chairman Martin of the Democratic committee does not concede the state. At midnight last night he said it was still doubtful what the oil! rial r■■•turns would show. The Republicans claim the state by 29,25 V. The restilt in Indiana hinges upon whether or not the Populist vote has been • added to the Democratic vote in making the returus ami estimates.' Unofficial figures at Democratic headqu&rters at midnight showed the state Republican by 16,000 if the Populist vote has been duly reported in the estimates and added to the Democratic vote for electors. Indiana is safely Republican, says Chairman Gowdy. It figures 20,302 for McKinley, with seventy-four of the ninety-two counties complete.aud the returns from the others so nearly complete that it is possible to estimate them so closely that the official count is not likely to change the figures 1,000 either way.-. Indianapolis, Nov. s.—Late yesterday afternoon the Bryan supporters worked up considerable enthusiasm over the returns coming in, these indicating a considerable reduction in the plurality claimed earlier in the day by the Republicans. They werfe' also encouraged by State Chairman Martin’s claim tout Indiana was yet possible, to count in the Democratic commn. The Sentinel office and the street thereof was .lie rendezvous of hundreds of shouters, each* bulletinJfearir.g news of a party gain being greeted by shouts and horn blowing. While Democratic spirits were thus ascending there was a cloud of gloom-settling upon the Republicans who tilled the streets seeking information that would confirm their, earlier hopes that the stale had gone safely us they had voted * Chairman Gowdy gave encouragement to all who sought him, claiming at least 20,000 plurality, aud if the baris of estimates in past elections holds good 1 his figures are not likely to be far from rignt. Both branches of the legislature are claimed by Republicans, as are also the state ticket and 10 of the 13 congressmen. Despite the downpour of «rain last evening thousands lingered about the streets and bulletins, emitting yells c 0 satisfaction as the returns suited their tastes. Everybody seamed indifferent to the drenching which they were getting, and it was not until late, when it seemed that little change was likely to occur in eslimates already given, that the worn out crowds dispersed to their homes. Before midnight the head's of the two contending parties closed their quarters, each asserting that t*he situation was unchanged’and that they were unwilling to change their claims. Both were up early this morning figuring on the result. The result on congressmen, So far as accurately < etermined, is as follows: First, nomen way (it. i; second, Miers (D.); Third, Trace well (Rl); Fourth, doubtful;Fifth, Faris (R.); Sixth, John son (R.); (Seventh, Overstreet (R, 1; Eighth, Henry(R.); Ninth. Landis (R.); Tenth? Crumbaaker (R.Ja Eleventh, Steele (R. I; Twelfth, Robinson (D.-P.); Thirteenth. Roys* (R.). ILLINOIS. Chicago, Nov. s.—The eomple e unofficial returns give McKinley a plurality in Cixii county of 67,536, outside of Cook county 71.180, Making his total plurality in the state 138,718. Tanner’s plurality over Altgeld is -estimated at 112,846. Chicago, Nov. s.—ln Illinois 1,026 preeiucts outside of Chicago, out of 8,228. give McKinley 224,740;, Boyan, 163,974; Tanner; for governor. 179,664: Altgeld, 132,237. This will indicate i plurality for MeKlnlty in the state of over 196,000 and about 130,600 for Tan nerover Altgeld.

BRYAN LOSES HOPE. He Issues a Warning and Declines to Talk of Possibilities. CONVERSES WITH HIS FRIENDS Parade Rated on Reports Dlapamed on thr Defeat rd Candidate’ll SiLK^eßtlon — Disordem in Chicago and 'Baltimore— Deinonhtrations in Honor of Mark Hanna- f'oiumcnt and Goimfp. Lin< ot.n, Nov. s.— Mr. Bryan last night gave out the following in reply to numerous telegrams from all parts of the ciiuntry: “The Democratic national committee claims enough states to give a majority in the electoral college, but the vote is very close ip several of the states, and the rt sult cannot be positively known j until the entire vote is counted. In all close contests it is wise for both sides to watch the returns, to guard against-th* possibility of mistake, intentional or unintentional.” Mr. Bryan dictated this statement, but when pressed for something for the press declined to yield, saying that he could give no utterance of his opinion as to the result or outline his intentions until the outcome should be definitely known. In conversation with friends he freely discussed the probabilities, referring to tiee closeness of the vote in several of the states, and comparing: note* with them on the chances in Ken- ■ tucky. Indiana. West Virginia and other states of apparently narrow margins. He read all bulletins with interest, but in reply to questions said he was not allowing the uncertainty to cause the least degree of worry. He spoke i cheerfully to all, but it became evident ■ toward the latter part of the day that i he was wowmg less and less hopeful. He was especially gratified at cite result ; in Nebraska anti took occasion to earnestly congratulate the chairmfen of the various county and state committees lo- | cated in Lincoln on their work in this i city and throughout’ the start. During ' the afi ■:■:■■ n fl ME Brian aiteuaed the ’ | funeral of an old friem and spent the evening with bis callers. The announcement of claims, which > ; Mr. Bryan afterward said he had not ; i authorized, created, a wild “burst of up- ; r plause, caused several bets. to'Le offered , and ultimately resulted iu the origin of i an informal procession numbering sevj eral hundred, which headed for Mr. Bryan’s house. When informed of this demonstiatam Mr. Bryan qmo'iy advised that it be suspended until the re-T suits should be more definite. Upon this hint the parade was abandoned be-, j fore the ETyun tosidence was'reached. HOWLED FOR HANNA. — Noisy Dem oust rat ions In Honor of the Republican Chairman. Cleveland, Nov. 5. — Hon. M. A. ‘ Hanna spent all day yesterday in his office receiving congratulations by wire and personally. He did ny work of any ■ kind, expressing himself as being too tired.

DISOKDEK IN CHICAGO. Crowd of Marchers Claim Several Stales For Bryan. Chicago. Nov. 5.--—A disorderly crowd of 200 or 300 me'i marched through the streets early this morning shouting that Bryan was elected. They carried a transparency upon which was inscribed: "No'’76 this year;” “Indiana, lowa and Kentucky is ours.’ - and “Bryan is elected." Iu passing the newspaper offices and banks they hooted and made menacing demonstrations. Police detachments were ordered out in readiness for any disturbance of the peace. Baltimore Faraders. Baltimoke, Nov. 5.—A local Bryan organization, last night posted a telegram, purpopting to come from Senator Gormau, stating.,that Bryan had 229 electoral votes.

FORAKBR AND M.LEAN. zFanner Say. th* Re.ult For**tall.d DUaxter. Latter Declined to Talk. Cincinnati, Nov. 5 —Senator-elect J. B, Foraker, being asked for hir views upon the result of the election, said: "In I my judgment the country ba* escaped a great disaster. Had Bryan been elected there would have been such a destruction of confidence iu the business world as would have paralyxed every industry, | tarnished our good name and placed us at a disadvantage in all onr eoiniuercial relations with the world. The eie.tion of McKinley happily avert* all of this. Confidence is already restored. I expect the greatest era of prosperity, the country lias ever known.” John B.

"The Republican victory was largely due to the sound money Democrats, and they are entitled to much of the credit for it,” said Mr. Bynum "We certainly rejoice in the defeat of Bryan, as it vindicates,our claim*. There will be no necessity of our having the rumor -d national convention and none is likely f to take place. I cannot just naw state when the national committee will meet. ” ALTGELD SPEAKS.

Chicago, Nov. 3.—Governor Altgeld has given out a statement addressed to i | the Democrats of Illinois, in which hs i says: “Although defeated, I desire to thank you for the loyal support you have given me, and I congratulate you on the heroic tight you have just made. I believe that at the next general elec- ■ turn the people will reverse the verdict' of Tuesday. The return of prosperity! will mot come as promised. It was t;,.- ' great common people of America, ami not the rich, who saved our inatitotions in 1861, and it will devolve on the greet i common people of this country to savefree government in,4900.” PACIFIC OCEAN MONSTER. ! _____ Strange Creature Killed by Fishermen Near Seattle. Seattle, Wash., Nov. 5.—A party of j Englishmen who have been fishing in ! T the Pacific discovered and killed a mon-; star that resembles a merman. The “parly was off the island of Watmoff.in; their huntingboat, and Lord Devonshire, j i one of the fishers, had just shot a por- | poise, when some one called out, “Look there!” pointing to a frightful looking monster about a cable’s length away. I Hastily raising his weapon, he fired and ■ hit the creature between the eyes. The shot, though it did not kill the ani- j mal. so stunned it that it lay perfectly ‘ still on the surface of the sea. It showed fight when hauled into the j boar, and had to be killed to prevent it ! from swamping the crafr. Thejmonster is said to be one of the strangest freaks ! ever put together. It measures 10 feet ■ from its nose to the end of its flukeshaped tail, and the girth of its human- i shaped body.was just six feet. It would : - weigh close to 500 pounds. From about i the breast bone to a point about where - the base of the stomach would be, .were > it human., it looked like a man. Its-; , arms, quite human in shape aud form, are very long and completely covered | with long, coarse, dark, reddish hair, as is the whole, body.
