The ailAe'a congressional delegation will probably stand: 14 republicans to 19 democrats, a democratic gain of 12. In old New York city (Manhattan borough) no republican has been returned, and a notable feature of the election was the defeat, by Capt. Wat. Astor Chandler, of Lemuel K.

Only ten eountl-js In the state gave Van wyck pluralities and they were all localities swayed by cities, as New York. Kings, Queens and Erie. The falling off In Roosevelt’s plurality, as compared with Hlack s In 1896. Is due to a decrease in the ^republican vote up the state .of 61,000, and <m Greater New York of 62.Q00. MIS8UIRI.

OHIO. 'Columbus. O.. Nov. Additional return* do not materially chance the result announced lhnsday ni«ht of over o.mwv ro.publican ptagaiUy on the state ticket, and U republicans to 6 democratic congress■en. The republicans are celebrating the •lection of as many congressmen in what •a known as the “off year' as they electad at the last presidential election, while they more than doubted the plurality of W.U.O for it us hue! 1 for governor last year. In the odd years a governor and full state ticket with members of the legislature ere elected every two years, while in the •alternate, or even years, oniya few minor •tale officers with congressmen are elected. as was the case Tuesday, but the alternate or even years come once in four wears with the presidential campaign, so j that tke “off year' comes only once in tfour yea.rs.iuid always two years after the ' ^presidential election.

The democratic managers are rejoicing twr what they call “sore spots of the victors." It is stated that none of the •late departments or institutions under Gov.

Topeka. Kas.. Nov. The election In Kansas Is lu doubt, with both sides claiming the state by a small majority. It will probably require decide the result. the complete returns to 8ecretaryI'^rank 1* Brown, of the republican state committee makes the following statement: ’Mr. Stanley U undoubtedly elected gov.BZ ernor, as Is the entire state ticket. , precincts heard from are largely In the cities and towns. Of the country precincts reported tVe gains are remarkable. If the country precincts continue to show increases, the ticket will be elected by about the majority predicted by the committee last Saturday." Chlrman Taylor of the populist stats committee says: “Incomplete returns from all parts of the state would indicate that Leedy and the entire fusion ticket are elected by OuO plurality. Five populist congressmen are elected. Two districts t _ | are In doubt. Curtis' election Is conceded by a reduced majority." Complete returns from Shawnee county except six small precincts, estimated, give Stanley (rep.) a majority of 2.300 over Leedy /us ). Morrill trep.) carried the county over Leedy In 1S96 by 2,038. The republicans show a net loss In the city of Topeka of 250. but made a gain In the oountry precincts sufficient to give Stanley a net gain in the county of 250 over republican majority in 1896. The republican state central committee estimates Stanley’s majority in the state at 8.000. and claim a gain of five republican congressmen, the election of every congressman In the state except Ridgeley (pop.), in the Third, who may be re-elect-ed. The populist state central committee claims the result is so close that an official canvass will be necessary, but declines to make any definite statement at present on congressmen or otherwise, accounting for tne delay by saying their people were Instructed to wait for complete returns before making definite reports. Topeka, Xaa.. Nov. S.-John W. Brledenthal (pop.), state bank commissioner, and ex-state chairman of the Populist state central committee concedes Stanley (rep.), for governor, elected by 6,000. Topeka. Kas.. Nov. 10.—The latest returns Indicate that the plurality of Stanle>jj republican candidate for governor. probably reach 13.000. Taylor Riddle, the populist state chairman, makes no further claims and practically concedes the defeat of Vincent for congress In the Fifth, and of Jerry Simpson In the Seventh. The republican leaders confidently claim that Chester L. Long has defeated Simpson In the 3eventh. and that W. A. Oalderhead has defeated Congressman Vincent In the Fifth. If these claims shall prove correct Edwin R. Ridgely, of the Third district, will be the only populist congressman from Kansas. Tne republicans elect two state senators. which gives them 11 members in that body. They also elect 97 representatives out of 125. TM» gives them a majority of 52 on joint ballot in the legislature, and insures the election of a republican stats printer.

ILLINOIS. Chicago, Nov. 9.—Returns from every county in the state indicate the election of Whlttomore (rep.) for state treasurer by a plurality of nearly 30,000. Few of the returns are complete. The majority for other republican candidates will probably exceed that for Whitteraore, as he vai cut heavily In Cook county. Including Chicago. Enough legislative returns have been received to show that the «. lower house will be democratic by six votes, and the senate republican by about eleven votes. In Cook county, aside from congressmen. the entire republican ticket, with possibly one or two exceptions, was elected bv pluralities ranging from 5.000 to 6.000. The county was carried for McKinley by nearly TO.OOO. In Winnebago county Frank 8. Regan (pro.) was elected to the legislature, the first time in the history of the state that a prohibition legislative candidate has won. Chicago. Nov. 9.—With but two precincts of the congressional district to hear from, Routelle (rep.) has a plurality of : over 600. and is elected by about 200 or 300 I plurality. Returns from the Second congressional district indicate the re-election I of Lorlroer (rep.) by a plurality of from 1.200 to 1.500. At republican headquarters It Is claimed that Johnson (rep*) still has a fighting chance against Jett (dem.) in ! the Eighteenth district.late returns showing that Johnson had carried two hitherto democratic counties. Chicago, Nov. At 2 p. m. the republican state central committee claimed the election of Johnson (rep.i In the Eighteenth district by 500 plurality. WISCONSIN. Milwaukee. Nov. 9.—Election returns re- I celved up to 3 a. m., though far from be- ! i lng complete, indicate that Gov. Scofield (rep.) is sure of election by at least 20,000 plurality. Republican Chairman Treat j still sticks to ids claim of 40,000; the Sentinel to at i^ast 30.000, while National! Pemosvatlc Committeeman Wall says Scofield might ha?re from 5.000 to 10.000 j plurality, though he could not concede : this, having heard from but ten pej cent. I of the prvcTncts in the state, Milwaukee county complete, with the j exception of the village of Cudahy, gives Scofield 592 plurality. This county also elected a republican ticket with the exception of she-iff, which w’em to the democrats Republicans" elect congressmen in every district exe-*;»t the Second, which is still in^doubt. The legislature Is overwhelmingly republican, the senate consisting of 31 republicans epd two democrats" and the assembly 77 republicans and 23 democrats —.a republican majority on joint ballot of PENNSYLVANIA.

Philadelphia. Nov. 9.—Tt was nearly C a. m. before the returns from the last Philadelphia waru was received, and the net result was almost as great a surprise to the republicans as the democrats and prohibitionists. When the ballots had been counted it was found that Stone trep.) bad carried the city by a plurality of S5.SC0. which with his plurality in the stale outside of Philadelphia county will probably run the republican plurality for the head of the ticket up to 130,000 over Jcnks idem ). Late returns from the Twelfth congressional district show that Stanley Davenport idem.) has probably been elected by a small plurality over Morgan B. Williams trep.). the present member. The other congressional candidates remain unchanged fro® Tuesday night's reports. Philadelphia. Nov. 10.—The delegation from Pennsylvania In the next congress will comprise 21 republicans and 0 democrats. a democratic gain of & The present delegation is composed of IT republicans and 1 democrats. San Francisco, Nov. 1—California has elected a republican governor and probably the entire state ticket by pluralities estimated at from 3,000 to 3iX<M>. Complete returns wtil not be In for 24 hours at best, but the election or llenrv T. Gage, republican, over James Q. McGuire, democrat. is conceded. The republicans have swept everything before them, and John D. Spreckels. the California member of the Republican national commit tee, claims the election of six out of seven congressmen There Is even some doubt regarding the election of DevrU (dem .), in the Second district, who two years ago defeated Congressman Grove L. Johnson by 8,000, but Denies will probably win by a small margin. In the fourth district, represented For three terms by James G. Maguire. Kahn trep.) has been elected by 2.0W plurality over Barry (dem.). and Barlow and Castle are probably defeated fot re-election in the Sixth and Seventh districts respectively. The conn* vdonai delegation from California will be as follows. First district, Barham (rep ); second. Devries (dem.); third. Metcalfe trep.);fourth, Kahn (rep.); fifth, Loud t-ep.); sixth. Waters (rep.); seventh. Needham (rep.). The republicans will have a large majority in the legislature, which wfli. this winter, elect a Vnlted States senator to succeed Stephen M. White idem.). The fight for the mayoralty of San Francisco has been eagerly contested, and the result ts yet uncertain. The indications are. nowever. that James P. Phelan, the present mayor, will be re-elected by • small majority, San Francisco. Nor. 10.—Less than half of the vote of California has been count - ed. hut 111 complete precincts out of liOT gtre Gage <rep.) for governor 9 540 plurality. At this rate his vote will be *).- in exceas el Maguire's. It is reasonably sure als> that the republican* have carried the rest of the state ticket, with CALIFORNIA the a state court. The vote on these Is close, with the chances la favor of the democratic of secretary of of the supreme

candidates. It Is certain that the republicans have rained at least two congressman, with third one in doubt. IOWA. e^ln . Des Moines. Ia., Nov. 9.—It is that the republican plurality on the sta ticket will be about 45.W0. Chairman timated state Hancock of the Republican state central committee is confident the count wilt show SO.000. Returns do not show a single democratic congressmen elected, but Chairman Townsend refuses to recede from the following signed statement ; “We confidently claim the election of Gen. Weaver in the Sixth district, and believe that full returns will show the election of other democratic congressmen from Iowa.” COLORADO. Denver. Col., Nov. 9.—The entire fusion state ticket, headed by Charles S. Thomas (dem.) for governor. Is elected by a majority approximating about 50,09. This Is by far the largest majority ever given a candidate for governor in Colorado, but Is less than half of Bryan’s majority for president. Arapahoe county, including Denver, gave about 10,000 fusion majority, and El Paso county, including Colorado Springs, 4,000. The republicans won in oniy a few counties in the eastern part of the state. Of 17 hold-over state senators elected. It appears the republicans have secured two. and In the three dlstrists the result is doubtful. The fusiontsts have an overwhelming majority in the legislature. MINNESOTA. Minneapolis, Minn.. Nov. 9.—'Unofficial and incomplete, -but apparently reliable returns Indicate John Lind, fusion candidate. has been elected governor of Minnesota by plurality of 10.000. Five of the seven congressmen are surely republican. The Sixth and Seventh districts are close, and are claimed by both sides. James Gray, fusiontst, is elected mayor of Minneapolis by perhaps 5,000, the largest plurality ever given In this city to a candidate not a republican. The election ot the fusion candidate In the Sixth district, Charles E. Towne, Is ; claimed here by 2.000 majority. The republicans do not concede it, but they are making no claims._ NEBRASKA. Lincoln. Neb., Nov. 9.—Belated precinct returns contluue to Indicate that Nebraska has turned a political summersault, i and landed in the republican column. I Three hundred and seventeen precincts outside of Uncoln and Omaha, give Hayward (rep.), for governor. 29,494. Poynter I (fus.). 2S,o<52. a net republican gain of 4,- j 787. If this gain is maintained Hayward will carry the state by over 40,000. Figures on legislative candidates are not such as to make comparisons possible, but show that they shared equally with j governor. In a tew counties wnlch went ; fusion on the state ticket, the republican legislative candidates are elected, whict makes the claim that the legislature on j joint ballot Is tepublican a conservative one. The Fir it and Second congressional | districts are republican, the Third and Sixth fusion, ana the Fourth and Fifth in doubt.

INDIANA. Indianapolis. Ind.. Nov. 9.—Returns Indicate the certain election of Overstreet (rep.) (Indianapolis district) to congress. Tne democrats concede the republicans a majority in the state of about 10,000. The republicans claim more than this. This (Marion) county, where a bitter fight ha# been waged, looks republican, with the possible exception of auditor. DELAWARE. Wilmington, Del., Nov. 9.—Detailed returns from Kent and Sussex counties are sufficient to show that the next legislature of this state is almost surely republican in each branch, and certainly republican on joint ballot. According to complete returns from the state, with the exception of a few districts. the nett legislature will stand: Republican, democrats, 23. The republicans **IU thus elect a senator to. succeed United’ States Senator Gray ! Idem.). Congressman Handy, (dem.) was defeat- ! ed by John Hoffecker (rep.) by a majority that will not be less than 2,000. By the same margin the republicans elect Dr. L. Heisler Ball, state treasurer, I and John A. Lirgo, state auditor. They also elect their county tickets tn each of the three counties. It was a clean republican sweep. IDAHO. Boise. Idaho, Nov. 9.—For the first time in the history of this state women have voted for congressmen and state officers. They took th^ liveliest Interest in the proceedings. In view of the isolation of many places t.ccurate returns are not yet available, it is. therefore, somewhat difficult to say what effect the vote of the women has had on the general result. It is known, nowuver, that the women have not voted along partisan lines. Twelve precincts on congressmen give Hepburn 2Wilson. >‘<2. Gunn, 182 for governor. Moss, 2w; Steunenberg, 4bl; Anderson, 62. s UTAH. Salt Lake T7<Ah, Nov. 9.—At 3 a. m. about one-fourth of the returns of the state are reported.

This Is a certain gain of two congressmen. with a possible gain of throe. The present congressional delegation stands seven democrats to four republicans. 1 The biggest victory, however, was in the third appellate court district, which was carried by McKinley in 1996 by 2.300 majority.

These quartz soles are said to be very flexible and practically indestructable, and to give the foot a firm hold even on the most slippery surface.

when TO SHAKE fiANDS. When two gentlemen are introduced to each other it is the accepted rule that they shall shake hands. A hostess shakes hands with any and evqry gue«t brought to her house by ! - berSfriends. She does so on their ar- : livaliand on their departure. When an introduction is msde between two ladies, whether they shake hands or not is, determined by side issues. Generally speaking, the received rule is not to do so, but only to bow, . but then follow all the various excep- ■ tions that induce ladies introduced to do otherwise—that is to say, shake hands at once. When a girl is introduced to a mar'* ■ ried lady by a mutual friend the married lady may or may not shake hands with the girl; she probably will do so if she is good-natured, but she is not * certain to evince this amount of cordiality; but if the introduction is made by a relative of the girl the married lady does not hesitate to shake hands, but in neither case would the girl take the initiative of shaking hands. When a man is introduced to a lady the exceptions in favor of shaking hands come in as against not doing | so; for instance, if the man introduced is the hnsband or brother of the lady making the introduction, it would be very natural to 6hake hands with him. almost imperatively so; but were he a , n ere acquaintance it would be most uni usual to shake hands with him on first : introduction. v

ABOUT RAILWAYS. The United States has a greater mileage of railways than the rest of the world combined. The length of the world's railways in 1S95 of 433.953 miles is more than 1? times the circumference of the earxh at the equator. The most costly piece of railway line in the world is that between the Man* sion house and Aldgate stations, in London, which required the expenditure of close upon £2,000,000 a mile. In Europe the miles operated have risen in four years from 141.552 to 155,284; in. Asia, from 22,025 to 26.S90; in Africa, from 6,622 to S.1G9; in America, from 212,724 to 299,722, and in Australia, from 12,322 to 13,888, making a total for the world of 433,953, against 395,143 four years ago. There are three railroads on the Hawaiian islands, according to the Railway Review. The Kahului railroad, on the island of Maui, is 13 miles long, and the Hawaiian railroad, on the island of Hawaii, is about 10 miles long. The principal road is the Ochu Railway & Land company line, which runs from Honolulu to Walanae ,the total length, including sidings, being 38.5 miles. Last year the road carried 85.596 passengers, receiving a revenue of $30,993.50 ; 66,430.49 tons of freight were carried, earning $69,752.76.

A MUCH-MOURNED MOTHER. Col. Shatter Thought Twice la Oaa Meath Was Tec Oftea tor Her te Die. When Shafter was senior colonel of th» army he was temporarily in charge of some western post, ana numbered in his com* mand an exceedingly bright, capable fellow whose cleverness was continuidly getting him the noncommission stripes, and whose escapades were just as frequently getting him reduced to the ranks. ,One day this soldier turned up at Shafter’s quarters with a long face and applied for leave to attend the funeral of his mother, who had died the previous night, he said, in the town. The request was granted, but later on, in looking over the same records, the colonel discovered that the same man had been granted leave the month before on the identical pretext. Shafter said nothing, but a couple of days afterward encountered the bereaved warrior on the parade ground. “Look here, my man,” said Pecos Bill, solemnly, “1 want t to ask you a question. Were you good to that mother of yours while she w'as alive?” “Well, sir—yes, sir-rthat is, I hope so,** stammered the culprit, not knowing what was coming. “I hope so, too,” replied the colonel. “I’ve heard of mothers dying for their sons, but never of one dying twice in 30 days for one. A ou may go in mourning for a month—at the guardhouse.”—N. O. Times-Democrat. One oh the Judge. In a case of slander that was heard not long ago a lady had gone into the witness box on behalf of the plaintiff, whose counsel was examining her. “Now. madam,” the lawyer began, “please repeat the slanderous statements made by the defendant on this occasion, just as you he&nl them.” “Oh, they are unfit for any respectable person to hear!” was the emphatic answer. “Then,” said the examiner, coaxingly, “suppose you just whisper them to the judge.”—Cincinnati Enquirer. lie Knew Him. Again it was the terrible small brother doing the entertaining until his sister could put in an appearance. “I guess you don't know me,” said the caller, with a commendable desire to be pleasant. “Oh, yes, I do. When I saw you through the winder I heard sister say ‘there comes that everlastin’ Simpkins again!’ ’’—Detroit Free Press. —•-.: .--■izz: .
