"William McKinley received a plurality of the popular vote of S15.S03. The total of his Iluralities in Republican States is 1.453,902. Aryan's pluralities in Democratic States total 610.U00. These figures are unofficial, but are thought to be nearly correct. The Kentucky plurality for Bryan is taken from Democratic statements, and possibly may bo relied on, for the Democrats of the Dluegrass State are in a position to give Dryan any plurality they choose.

It tops his own plurality of 595,743 In by 2D.1U votes, and exceeds that of General Grant in 1S72, up to the present year the greatest on record, by S2.S32. A glance at the variations in the popular vote for the past forty years not only discloses facts of great interest at thi3 time, but serves to make more emphatic the wonderful tribute to President McKinley from his countrymen contained in the overwhelming plurality that was given him at the polls last Tuesday. The plurality of the popular vote secured by President Lincoln at his first election was 421,195. When be ran in 1S0I this was decreased to 407,342. The first of the big pluralities, as they are reckoned to-day, was secured by Buchanan in his race against Fremont in He received 431, IDl votes more than his opponent. Grant's plurality over Seymour in 1S6S was &'C.4"s, and four years later, running against Greeley, he more than doubled this, obtaining a clear gain of 7C3.001 votes. This splendid total stood as high water mark from that time to the present week. It bus alv.ays been the opinion of shrewd politicians that the figure would never be equaled by ny future President. They believed that nothing but the spirit of patriotism burning at white heat could bring such an enormous llurality, and saw no war cloud or vital question of patriotism of national honor that might cause the voters to pronounce their will so emphatically. When the occasion came, however, the figures swept Grant's plurality into second place. The smallest plurality ever given the winner of a presidential race went to Garfield when he beat Hancock in 1S80. His plurality was 7.013. but with It he had a majority of r.rty-r.ine electoral Otts.

lican. Is elected Governor by a plurality of sixty-five over Governor Poynter. The rest of the State ticket is likely to be Republican, but It will take the official count to determine the result. McKInley's plurality Is between 7.000 and 7,500. There is no change in the legislative situation, the lesult depending on Douglass county, Omaha, in which the official count proceeded only u little way to-day. Chairman Memminger, of the Third concessional district, reports that Congressman John S. Robinson. Fusionist, Is elected by 127 plurality as shown by the completa returns, unofflciat. from all counties. Ilia election was up to-day, questioned by the Republicans. The majority of Neville, Fusionlst, in the Sixth district, is 328, and Stark. Fusionist. In the Fourth. 413.

BALLOTS WERE NOT SIGNED IN ORDER THAT RETURNING HOARDS MIGHT TlinOW THEM OUT. Ballots Cast for Bryan nnd Yerkes Counted for the Straight Democratic Ticket. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. John W. Langley, appointment clerk of tho Census Office, has returned from Kentucky, where he took an active part in the closing days of, the campaign. He said he is unwilling to concede the election of the Democratic ticket In Kentucky. Asked whether.it was a fair election, he replied: "Of course not; we did not expect it, the election machinery being in the hands of the Democrats. If they had Intended to give us a fair election they would have permitted the new elction law to become operative at once, instead of holding this election under the Goebel law. "I see that Chairman Combs claims wholesale frauds of various character all over the State. I have personal knowledge of some of them. For example: In nearly every instance a Democrat was appointed clerk of the election. In the closing days of the campaign we discovered that it had been arranged for these clerks to fall to sign their names across the ballots in many instances. Without this signature tho returning board could refuse to count the ballots under the law. Our officers were notified to insist on the signature in all Instances. I am informed that a number of clerks refused to sign the ballots. In many instances, especially in Republican precincts, the clerk was a man who could scarcely write and who could not possibly prepare the ballots for all the voters. The result was that hundreds had to go away from the polls without voting. Many Republican ballots were not counted for some technical reason. Under the present law, however, these ballots are all kept, and I think the courts will hold that they should be counted. T am informed many ballots cast for Bryan and Yerkes were counted for .the straight Democratic ticket. When it is remembered that the Democrats frequently appointed as Republican officers men who, by reason of age or some other cause were Incompetent to serve, and men who merely claim to be Republicans, it is very easily seen hoto this could happen. "There is one result of the Kentucky election which means a great deal for that State. I refer to the election of Judge O'Rear to the Court of Appeals. This gives us a Republican majority of the court, and therefore insures us nonpartisan decisions in the future. There was as much interest In that race among Kentucky Republicans as there was over the governorship." Official Returns Coming In. LOUISVILLE. Ky., Nov. 10. Official returns from all save about a dozen counties In the State received by the Courier-Journal up to 11 o'clock to-night do not materially alter that paper's unofficial report of the election. Bryan's plurality will be In the neighborhood of 8,X)0. while tri plurality of Beckham (Dem.) for Governor will be about 5,000, the unofficial leturns from every county In the State being 4,033.

REPLY TO lOEMAL ADDRESS IX WHICH HE DEFENDED HIMSELF AND SCORED CRITICS. No Enthusiasm In London, Where Ills Sobrlq.net, FerrTman Is Still Fresh In the Public Mind. ROBERTS TRYING TO END WAR WILL ATTEMPT TO STRIKE A DECISIVE BLOW AGAINST BOERS. De Wt nnd Steyn Jfovr the Real Lender of the Burghers, and They Will Be Hunted Down. LONDON, Nov. 10. Southampton was in gala attire to-day, and thousands of visitors from London and elsewhere participated in the ceremony of conferring the freedom of the city upon General Duller. A civic and military escort led the way to the scene. General Buller's carriage was deluged with flowers. Lady Duller accompanied General Buller. Replying to the address on the presentation of tho freedom of the city the general exhibited great emotion and answered his critics vigorously. He declared that when the history of the war was fairly written it would be found that the British army in South Africa had confronted difficulties far greater than any other army operating against an equally civilized enemy had ever previously experienced. He cited the Boers' superior range of vision and familiarity with the Kaffir language and country. On bis arrival at Aldershot. General Buller wllr be received by Major General Sir William Francis Butler, in command of the district, and other dignitaries. The return of General Buller excites only a faint ripple of enthusiasm in London. The Sobriquet "Ferryman" is too fresh in the public mind to allow the complimentary references now made to him to have much force, though he will be the object of many demonstrations. Besides, the war is rot yet over in South Africa, though Lord Roberts is doing his best to end it. General De Wet is now the real leader of. the Boers' cr.Utfe, aud .bis prml wMif(-W Wjp;:ir - .Tr4 by his serious defeat. A dozen other Boer generals are still in the field. Botha, whose health is better, is on the veldt near Waterval, "and Viljoen is near him with Delarey. Schalkburger is In the mountains near Lydenburg and Erasmus is in the south. Grobler and Lemmer are In various sections of the Transvaal. Lord Roberts has evidently made the capture of De Wet and Steyn his next work, and is employing his mobile mounted forces to hunt them down at all hazards. . Lord Roberts, telegraphing from Johannesburg under date of Nov. 8, reports to the War Office as follows: "Geneal Knox states that he takes no credit for the very successful engagement of Nov. 6, which was due in the first place to the determination of Le Gr.llais never to lose touch with tho enemy, and, secondly, to the able way in which De Lisle handled the firing line after De Gallais and Ross were wounded. "Smith-Dorrlen reports that the two days' fighting mentioned was very hard. His force consisted of 250 mounted troops from tho Fifth Lancers, the Royal Canadian Dragoons and mounted rifles, two Royal Canadian artillery guns, four guns of the Eighty-fourth Battery and 900 Infantry of the Suffolks and Shropshires. The Boers were met soon after starting from Belfast, and hung on the front, flanks and rear until the Komatl river was reached, where they stood at a very strong position. From this they were forced to retire by a wide turning movement by the Suffolks and the Canadian mounted troops around their flank. All the first day Boer signal fires were lighted in all directions, and before morning they were strongly reinforced. "Our casualties the first day were six killed and twenty wounded, chiefly of the Shropshires, who fought splendidly The next day the Boers tried to seize the strong position on the bank of the Komatl, from which they were driven out Nov. 6, but were prevented by Colonel Evans with the Canadian mounted troops and two of the Eighty-fourth's guns galloping two milts and seizing it in the nick of time. The rear of the return march was defended by Col. Lessard with the Canadian Dragoons and and two Royal Canadian guns under Lieut. Morrison. Smlth-Dorrien says no praise can.be too high for the devoted gallantry these troops showed In keeping off the enemy of the infantry convoys. "In the afternoon an event unprecedented in this war occurred, when some 200 mounted Boers suddenly charged the rear guard to within seventy yards, when they were stopped by the Canadian Dragoons. During the fight sixteen of the Canadians fell into" the hands of the enemy, who treated them kindly and released them after removing their own dead and wounded, during which operation the Canadians were compelled to lie on their faces In order that they might not see how heavily the Boers had suffered. Our casualties were two killed and twelve wounded." Lord Roberts's recommendation that the returning soldiers be welcomed with gifts of tobacco Instead of liquor, calls out a lingular Indorsement from the Lancet, which declares that tobacco, used in moderation, is second only in value to food itself, in case of men enduring long labors on short rations. WAR IS XOT YET OVER. Great Britain lu Still Sending Troops to South Africa. LONDON, Nov. 10. South Africa threatens once more to absorb public attention in Great Britain. Lord Salisbury, in his speech at the inaugural banquet of the Lord Mayor In the Guild Hall last evening, held out little hope of tho Immediate

pacification. The return of Lord Roberts Is still problematical and is certainly a matter of weeks and perhaps months. One of those most seriously interested and best Informed us to the future of the belligerent regions, when asked what was going to happen and how toon It would happen, replied: "Unfortunately, I am not a minor prophet." That vol. es the government attitude. The ministers have given up speculating as to when peace will be thoroughly restored, and; to use Lord Salisbury's phrase anent China, they are "waiting for the situation to develop Itself." Generals and regiments are returning, but others are constantly leaving England to replace them. A lecrulting depot is being established in London to supply 1.000 men for General Eaden-Powell's South African police force, - and re-enforcing detachments are constantly going to Join the regiments in the Transvaal. In conjunction with Lord Salisbury's open reference to the possibility of Great Britain being taken unawares by some foreign power, this state of affairs in South Africa does not breed confidence of contentment. In his lordship's defensof the War Office many people believed they saw open threats-to Lord Wolseley, and in th? sharp retort to Lord Wols-eley's recent criticisms. Lord Salisbury drew attention to the enforced silence in which Lord Landsdown, the late aecretary of state fpr war, was obliged to stand (CONTINUED 0I PAGE 4, CÖlTcT)"

POSTS NECESSARY IN ORDER TO WATCH THE ELl'SIVE TAGALO BANDIT. Aentnnldoft Followers Soldiers One Minute, nnd the Next They Are Amlgofl In (he American Lines, POSSIBILITY OF THE FUTURE EXTENSION OF REPUBLICAN INSTITUTIONS IN PHILIPPINES May Result In Gigantic Folltleal Ac tlvlttes In All Asia and the Downfall of Dynasties. WASHINGTON. Nov. 10.-MaJor General Arthur MacArthur, commanding the army in the Philippines, and military governor of the islands since May 5, 1900, has submitted his report to the War Department. A large portion of the report relates, to events which took place previous to the date when he assumed command, and he publishes some of the correspondence and proclamations of the Filipinos obtained from that time. He jrefers to the change in Agulnaldo's plan in abandoning his army command and 'starting guerrilla warfare. The position of the Filipinos afforded advantages for such a policy, he says, as they have enabled the Insurgents to appear and disappear at their convenience. At one time they are soldiers and Immediately after are within the American lines in the attitude of peaceful natives. A widely scattered formation of Filipinos quickly followed the guerrilla warfare, which led to a corresponding dissemination of American troops, there being fifty-three military stations In the archipelago Nov. 1, 1S93, and 413 stations Sept. 1, 1900. This resulted in a large number of minor affairs, many of which did not assume the dignity of a regular combat, though the casualties between the dates stated were 26S Americans killed, 750 wounded and 55 captured; the Filipino losses during the same time being 3,227 killed, 634 wounded and. 2,864 captured. General MacArthur says the extensive distribution vcf troops has strained the soldiers-of tho army to the. fulLJlrnit. of. endurance. He says the apparent desultory work has demanded more of discipline and as much of valor as was required during the period of regular operations against concentrated field forces of insurrectionists. General MacArthur speaks in the highest terms of the service rendered by the troops amid all labors and hardship?. "The Filipinos," says General MacArthur, "are not a warlike or ferocious people. Left to themselves a large number of them would gladly accept American supremacy which they are gradually coming to understand means individual liberty and absolute security In their lives and property. They have been maddened, however, during the past five years by rhetorical sophistry and stimulants applied to national pride, until power of discriminating in matters of public concern or private interest has been almost entirely suspended As a substitute for all other considerations the people seem to be actuated by the idea that in all doubtful matters of politics or war men are never nearer right than when going with their own kith and kin, regardless of consequences." This condition,- he says, bad raised difficulties and obstructions in pacification. MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT. The effort to Institute municipal government under American auspices carried the idea of exclusive fidelity to the United States, but this met with difficulties where Filipinos were placed entirely in control, and secret municipal governments were organized in various towns, under Filipino auspices to proceed simultaneously with the American governments and often through the same personnel. Presidents and town officials acted openly in behalf of Americans and secretly in behalf of the insurgents and paradoxical as it may seem, with considerable apparent solicitude for the interests of both. Wherever there Is a group of insursent forces, contiguous towns contribute to their support and render great assistance in secreting the soldiers and helping them to escape. The report says the success of the guerrilla system -depends upon complete unity of action among the native population. That there Is such unity is frankly acknowledged, but. how it is brought aboui General MacArthur says he is unablo to ascertain. Intimidation accounts for tho condition to some extent, but fear would not be successful as the only motive. He adds: "It is more probable that the adhesive principle comes from ethnological homogeneity which Induces men to respond for a time to the appeals of consanguineous leadership, even when such action id opposed to their own interests and convictions of expediency." He says that this statement applies to the entire archipelago, excepting the portion of Mindanao occupied by Moros and the Jolo group. The Moros seem entirely satisfied with present ccndltions. General MacArthur quotes captured correspondence to show the efforts of the insurgent leaders to Intimidate and control the people. He declares that the guerrilla bands could not exist except for the support they receive from the towns. He says that the education of the Filipinos will tend to secure their submission, but indicates that this will take a great deal of time and patience and an adequate force. In closing his report General MacArthur, after speaking of the establishment of a republican form of government In the Islands, sayb: "In th light of existing conditions it Is difficult to realize that there is any possibility of such a future for the islands, especially for the present and for many years to come, the necessity of a large American military and naval force Is too apparent to admit of discussion. On the other hand, however, there are many

encouraging conditions to sustain such a conviction. For, example, in the Philippines there is no dynasty to destroy, no organized system of feudal laws to eradicate, no principles Inconsistent with republicanism, which had solidly insinuated themselves into the national life, to displace, no adverse aspects of nature to overcome. On the contrary, nature, which is exuberant, balmy and generous, has nourished Into existence several millions of sensitive and credulous people, without allegiance to any existing institutions, but animated by certain inchoate Ideas and aspirations, which, by some unfortunate perversion of thought, they conceive to be threatened by America. These ptorle, fortunately, are Intelligent, generous and flexible, and probably will yield quickly and with absolute confidence to tuition and advice when thoroughly informed of American Institutions and purposes. ASIA MAY BECOME A REPUBLIC. "As a future thought In the same direction It may be suggested that the Aryan races are making their way back Into the old continent, which. In consequence, is likely within a generation more to become the theater of gigantic political activities. Up to this time the practical effect of republican institutions has not been considered in this connection; but the rapid extension of republican civilization in these i?lands, which is not only possible but probable, of necessity must exert an active and potent Influence upon the affairs of Asia, which, under the Inspiration of American ideas, transmitted through the Filipinos, may yet exhibit the greatest of political wonders. A rather broad conception perhaps, but one well calculated to fix the attention of the most casual observer to warm the fancy of the most Indifferent." Accompanying General MacArthur'a report are the reports of the various staff officers under his command. Major Miller, quartermaster, speaks of the difficulties of transportation, and says the native ponies have proved most successful. Major Dravo, commissary, reports on the supplies of the army, and pays that the problem of supplying fresh meat is most difficult. This Is secured mostly from the naval refrigerating ships. He says the losses of stores have been abnormally large, the total loss aggregating J116.7S1. of which 5113,668 were condemnations of goods reported and the balance stolen In transit from Manila to outlying posts. Colonel Greenleaf makes a report upon the health conditions, showing that In June, 1900. out of a total of 63.2S4, there were 5.5C3 (CONTINUEDON PAGE 4. COL. 4.) HARK TWAIN TALKS

Tom Reed has now deserted politics and is leading n creditable life. He has reformed and may God prosper him. He has found a new business better suited to his constitution; he Is now going round raising the average of beauty. I am grateful for the kind words the president has said of me. Whether deserved or not is not for me to say, but I prefer to accept them Just as they stand. "Since I left this country we have fought a righteous war. A righteous war is so rare in history as to be practically unknown. We have set Cuba free and given her a place among the two or three real free nations that erlst. We Etarted to free the Philippines, but it seems that the righteous purpose miscarried somehow. I am glad, however, we made a creditable record in China through the soundheadedness of our administration. What yellow peril is threatening the world to-day we do not know, but we can say that this government has done nothing to evoke It. "We have done our best to nurse frc-e silver. We have watched by its cradle and done our best to raise that child. But "these pestiferous Republicans have been trying to give It the measles and I am afraid we will never be able to raise it now. "We have had a President whom we have criticised up and down and found fault with for four years and now we have reelected him, and with votes enough to spare to elect another. "And Roosevelt, the illustrious Rough Rider, we have made Vice President Not to honor him, but to confer distinction upon the office, and It Is needed, too. I am not used to bestow-such fulsome praise, and am probably overdoing It a little; but I

Nov. rO.-The worst marine disaster in the long list of steamers wrecked among the rocks and ehoals at the entrance to the Bay of Fundy occurred this morning, when the side-wheel steamer City of Monticello, bound from St. John for Yarmouth, was overwhelmed by the mountainous seas only four miles from hr destination and engulfed, with thirty-four of her passengers and crew.

The gale last night kicked up a tremendous sea and at the time the vessel struck the waves were beating upon the rocks an1 sending spray for hundreds of feet over the land. The Monticello was on her way from St. John to Yarmouth with a full freight and a fairly large passenger list. Just before she foundered an attempt was made to reach the land in the small boat in charge of the quartermaster, and it contained third officer Fleming, a stewardess named Smith and three passengers. This boat was smashed by a huge comber, the occupants being hurled high upon the beach at Pembroke uninjured. It Is believed the are the only survivors.
