Saß Francisco, Nov. 9 California voted cn a i al: sta-e ticket and congressmen. Returns are coming in slowly, but from indications from scattering precincts in Los Angeles and San Francisco, it looks as though the Democrats have carried California, elected Bell governor, and most of the state offices.

Johnson was expected to carry that city by 20,000, but if present returns continue, he will be lucky to get 5,000. Republicans will probably lose two congressional districts, the Fourth and Eighth.

SERIOUS RIOTING IN MINERS' STRIKE

Thousands of Horses Starving in Mines in Wales. STRIKERS ANO POLICE CLASH Windows Smashed, Stores Looted and Wrecked and Damage Estimated at $150,000 Done by the Striking Men. London, Nov. 9. —There was serious rioting in the Rhondda valley, south Wales, in connection with the coal miners’ strike. There have been sporadic disturbances and fights with the police at many places during the last few days, but last night the trouble was on a large scale. The fighting centered chiefly at the powerhouse of the Glamorgan pit, near Tonypandy, where the nfanager of the mine, a score of engineers, clerks and stokers were beseiged. They had been workingseventy hours working the engines to keep the pumps going. Had the pumps been stopped, the pit would have been flooded and it would not be possible to open it again. All last evening police from Cardiff, Swansea and Bristol fought off the thousands of strikers and their sympathizers, who kept up a fusillade of stones while others barricaded the roads to present the rumored approach of the soldiery. The government, in response to a request for help from the chief constable of Glamorganshire; had ordered Cavalry and infantry to the scene, but subsequently orders were given to hold the military at Cardiff and the government sent instead 270 mounted and unmounted police from London. These arrived late at night. They immediately took a hand in the game and quieted things forthwith for a while. At midnight, however, the rioters ran amuck in Tonypandy smashing windows in all directions and looting provision, clothing and other stores. They did damage that is estimated at $150,000. One hundred and twenty-five stores and houses were more or less wrecked. Some were fired by incendiaries. The local authorities again appealed to the government, which thereupon ordered that the troops held up at Cardiff proceed to Tonypandy, and they are now on their way there. Two hundred more London policemen have been sent to reinforce those already at the scene. One hundred and twenty strikers and policemen were seriously injured in the fighting, while a number of others Were slightly hurt Rioters have controlled three pits since .Monday. They have stopped the ventilating machinery and thousands of horses in the mines are starving and being slowly asphyxiated.

Men were knocked off the sidewalk and trampled in the gutter by the struggling negroes and whites, while the peaceably disposed tried fn vain to stop the fight. The Republicans were greatly in the majority and the Democrats were driven from the polls.

than it did in Greater New York. In Greater New York the Democratic plurality was considerably exceeded *in the year when Bird S. Coler ran against former Gov. Odell. The Democrats carried Geneva, Hornell, Niagara Falls, Poughkeepsie, Elmira and many other cities of the third class. The Hearst vote in the state was also surprising*}’ small. In many of the former Hearst strongholds Hopper, candidate for governor on the Hearst ticket, ran ahead of Hearst, who was a candidate for lieutenant governor. In Greater New York the Hearst vote does not exceed 40 000. In Kentucky, Caleb Powers, thrice convicted of the assassination of Gov. Goebel, ard not long out of prison, was elected to congress by 3,000. carrying every county in his district except his home county of Laurel. Incomplete returns from Kansas indicate the election of . Gov. Stubbs. Uncle Joe Cm non, speaker of the house, is elected by the biggest majority the district has given for ten years. Sereno E. Payne, chairman of the ways and means committee, is elected by a plurality but little short of normal. John Dalzell, another of Speaker Cannon’s lieutenants, is reelected in Pennsylvania. J. Sloat Fasset, a supporter of Speaker Cannon, is defeated. The Republicans lose senators from Maine, where the election has already been held; Indiana. Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada. New Jersey, New York and Ohio. This result means the Republican majority in the United States senate will be reduced from 25 to 12. The house of representatives will be Democratic, probably by 29, the Democratic gain of 35. In the new house will be two Socialists from Wisconsin. cThe New York legislature will be Democratic on a joint ballot. The New York figures, subject to correction, are: Senate —Democrats, 27; Republicans, 24. Assembly—Democrats, 76; Republicans, 74. Democratic majority on joint ballot, 5.

COL. ROOSEVELT IS SILENT

Col. Roosevelt Refuses to Discuss Situation on Receiving News. Oyster Bay, Nov. 9.—Silence, that’s the word; absolute, double riveted. Not a word has Mr. Roosevelt to say. In fact he* refused to be seen. The wires to Oyster Bay' hummed with the news. The colonel at Sagamore Hill did not receive a detailed report of the result, but he heard early that Dix had been elected governor. When the newspaper correspondents climbed the hill, Kermit Roosevelt, who came down from Harvard to cast his first vote, met them. He said that the colonel knew what had happened and that there was nothing for him to give out. Mr. Roosevelt may give out a statement later on. but even that is doubtful. He fought a losing fight, and he went into it with grave fears as to the outcome. As h» left the polling place with Kermit. Noah Seaman and James Amos, the colored butler, he wouldn’t make any predictions. He declared positively that he would not give up, but that he would carry on the battle for progressive Republicanism in this state and everywhere else, because that is the only thing he could do. He thought that he had done all he could.
