mmi if " - ,j Tuesday’s Elections Ware Rot Pro- » ductive of Any Very Great Surprises. DOTH PARTIES SECURED SUCCESSES. Wb.Um of AdraoUt* There Warn, Howwar, Seems, According; to the Return*, to Inure to the Republican* -The Democrats Hue* Won Back Maryland Quite Handsomely. OHIO, Vuh’a Plurality tor Governor Will Probably Reach 60,000, Columbus, 0., Nov. 8.—The democratic state committee has no addition* al returns. Republican Chairman Dick has re* vised his figures so as to claim from 65.000 to 60,000 plurality for Judge Nash for governor, and the rest of the republican state ticket, and an unusually "^large majority in both branches of the legislature. No' senator is, however, to be selected by this legislature. The total vote was perhaps exceeded only at the last presidential election. It will reach 920,000, as compared with 794,000 last year, and 864.000 in .1897, with which year the vote was compared. The plurality of Judge Nash* exceeds that of President McKinley in 1S96, and is almost double that of Gov. Bush n ell in 1897. The Jones vote, although tire largest eyer polled for a third candidate, is not regarded as large as indicated in the Curlier returns Tuesday night. It is not likely to exceed 100,000, and almost half of this vote was cast in Cleveland,

uuiuuuau uuu lumiu, It is estimated that the Jones rote in CuyaKfega county was 25,000; in Hamilton, 10,000, in Lucas, 8,000, and In Franklin, 2,500. Outside of the fusion troubles in Hamilton, the confusion in Cuyahoga county and the Jones movement in other places, the republicans seem t$| have made gains throughout the state, especially in the rural districts. The senate stands 19 republicans, 8 democrats and 4 doubtful, including three from Hamilton county. The house stands 58 republicans, 34 democrats, and 17 doubtful, including the 10 members from Hamilton county. The Vote of Hamilton County. Cincinnati, Nov. 8.—Hamilton county, unofficial: Nash, (rep.), 34,805; McLean (dem.), 35,979; Jones (ind.), 11,•50. McLean’s plurality, 1,174. Caldwell (rep.), for lieutenant-gov-ernor, has a plurality of 939. The remainder of the state ticket corresponds with the vote for lieutenant-governor. Jones Carried Cleveland. Cleveland, 0., N6v. 8.—Complete unofficial returns from this, Cuyahoga county, give Jones (ind.), 36,196; Nash (rep.), 21,369; McLean* (dem.), 7,429. Jones' plurality, 14.S27. KENTUCKY.

Full Return* Not Yet Received, So Doubt Linger*. Cincinnati, Nov. 8.—Supt. Miller, of the Western Union Telegraph Co., who has been collecting the election news of Kentucky, issues the following bulletin: k The following conclusion reached late Tuesday night, regarding the election in Kentucky, seems to hold good at this time. Returns received give Goebel a plurality of 7,077, but of the counties not yet heard from in anything like a complete way, ten gave a democratic majority of 3,562 in ’97. and 19 gave a republican majority of 1Q?710. Therefore, if ther* is no republican loss in these counties, Taylor is elected. A republican loss seems improbable, as there are generally republican gains elsewhere. ■ay be Decided by the Legislature. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 9.—In view of the probability of a contest over the ▼ote for governor, this statement, made by Chairman Long of the republican campaign committee, is significant. Said Mr. Long: “The legislature is close, but I think we have lost both houses. From semiofficial returns from all counties except 12, and careful estimates from these, we have carried the state by 8,000 plurality for Taylor.”

Ex-Senator Blackburn Sanguine. Frankfort, Ky., Nov. 8.—At Goebel : headquarters former Senator Blackburn said: “The republicans must carry Jefferson county by over 4,500 to win, and our information is they have failed to do this. The democratic majority, while small, is safe, and our ticket is •lected. Democrats-will have 8 majority in both houses of the legislature. Our majority on joint ballot will ba at least 12, and probably more." Taylor’s Election Claimed. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 8, 11 a. ns*— * 'With returns from all but 13 counties in the state, seme of which are unofficial, and with the vote of *9? as the basis of calculation, at the same ratio of republican gains, Taylor’s plurality I iu the state figures 6,700. A majority of the missing counties are from the I Eleventh district, which is largely republican. At republican headquarters it is still maintained that Taylor’s f plurality will reach 15,000. Complete returns from every precinct in the city of Louisville give Goebel 15,606; Brown, 2,749 and Taylor, 46,860, giving Taylor a plurality of 3.*M' _ Chairman Blackburn nays Goebel. Fiankfort, Ky., Nov. S.—Chairman [ Blackburn of the Democratic state campaign committee, gave out the foiI lowing statement at noon;

“Goebel is elected by 3,000 or 4,000 majority on the lace of returns. 11 contest is made his majority will be increased. The legislature is safely democratic in both branches, with a democratic majority on joint ballot of not' less than80” _ Republican Committee Estimates. 1 Louisville, Ky., Nov. 8, 1 p. m.—Returns from many mountain counties are still delayed, but from unofficial reports and estimates in the missing counties Taylor’s plurality will not be materially changed from the estimates made Chairman Long, of the republican committee, said at 1 p. m.: “We have received official returns from two-thirds of the counties, and these, based upon very conservative estimates from the missing counties, give Taylor a plurality of from 8,000 to 10,000. As the reports come in they an? more favorable, and will undoubtedly increase the republican plurality. NEBRASKA. Additional Reform Emphasise the Pas Ion Victory. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 8.—Additional returns received only serve to emphasize the fusion victory in Nebraska at Tuesday’s election. The fusion majority will not be less than 12,000, and may reach 18,000. The republicans make no effort to explain the causes, though a number of leaders in this city differ from W. J. Bryan in his statement that it is a rebuke to the national administration. They maintain that the gains are only over last year, when the fusionists fell far short of their normal strength. They point out the fact that former Gov. Holcomb, when he ran for governor the last time, carried the state by 21,000. Not enough figures have yet been received to base even n moderately safe estimate on the congressional election in the Sixth district, to fill a vacancy, but with the balance of the state going as it did, it is altogether improbable that the republicans have overcome a fusion majority 6f over 5,000 in that district. PENNSYLVANIA.

What the Various Figures Show la the Keystone State. Philadelphia, Nov. 8.—In this city, Tuesday, the total vote cast was 153,343. The registration was 218,334. The contest on the state ticket was over the office of state treasurer, and Col. James E. Barnett (rep.) has a plural* ity over his democratic Opponent, Wm. T. Creasy, the vote resulting: Barnett, 110,078; Creasy, 40,535; Caldwell (pro.), 1,530; Watkins (peo.), 200. J. Hay Brown, republican candidate for the supreme court, had 90,874 plurality over Mestrezat (dem.), but both were elected, as there are two vacancies in that body. For the state superior court, Mitchell (rep.) had 87,485 plurality over Reilly (dem.). These figures would indicate that as a result of the attack on Barnett’s military record, he was cut about 10,000 votes in this city. The proposition to authorize a loan of $12,000,000 for the improvement of the city’s water supply was overwhelmingly" carried, the vote in favor of it being 114,579, and against it only 24,121. In two towns in the state, however, Lancaster and Harrisburg, proposition^ to increase the debt for water improvement purposes were defeated. p The latest figures indicate'that Barnett had from 110,000 to 120,000 plurality in the state. The extent of the cutting can not yet be ascertained accurately, but it is believed that he suffered the loss of at least 20,000 votes in this way. There was scarcely any sign of a fight in the state at large, and the vote generally was light. Chester county was an exception to this rule, however, Here the anti-Quay republicans bolted the regular ticket and fused with the democrats, and a fierce contest resulted. The regular republicans were cut, however, by pluralities for their county candidates, averaging about 3,000, only a little under the normal republican plurality. MASSACHUSETTS. Both Parties Seem to Draw Inspiration From the Bay State Vote. Boston, Nov. 8.—The vote of Massachusetts for (governor, complete, is as follows: Crane (rep.), 168,876; Paine (dem.), 103,814. Republican plurality,

The vote of 1898 was: Wolcott (rep.), 191,146; Bruce (dem.). 107,969. Comment among republicans yras in effect that the result was an indorsement, on the part of Massachusetts, of the policy of the national administration in the Philippine island?. On the other hand, the democrats, pointing to the great loss in the republican vote, claim that Massachusetts thereby has entered a protest against expansion. Especial emphasis is laid upon the fact that 22,000 republicans refrained from voting. The democrats are jubilant over the victory in Boston, which, after giving a republican plurality for governor in the past three years, gave Paine a plurality of 6,200. It is claimed that this forecasts the election of a democratic mayor in December. The democrats gain seven seats in the legislature—two in the senate and five in the house. There were many close contests, and not a slight feature in several of them was the strength of the socialist democrats. In some towns the nominees of the latter party were given a larger vote than that received by either the republican or democratic opponents, although they were able to carry only two entire districts. " MW YORK. Tammanr Sweeps the Metropolis, Bot Loses on the Whole. New York, Nov. 8.—The receipt of lattr returns from Tuesday’s election in this city and the state, shows tactically no changes from the figures

- -—— ! given out Tuesday night. In New York county the entire regular democrats ticket was elected by pluralities averaging about 50,000. Of the assembly districts in New York county, the dami ocrats Elected 31 assemblymen and the [ republicans four—a demoeratie gain of four. The republicans will probably have a majority of 30 in the assembly, a republican gain of ten. Practically all polities! interest in tins city and even throughout the state is now centered in the question aB to whether or not there will be a contest made by Robert Mazet, republican, who was defeated by 400 votes by Perez M. Stewart, Tammany and Citizens* Union candidate for the assembly in the Nineteenth New York j district. The result of the election in the state shows republican gains in assemblymen and a gain of municipal officers in many of the cities. KANSAS. Republicans Make Galas, ElectIna Six Oat of Ten rv/dnes. Topeka, Has., Nov. 8.—The reports from Tuesday*8 elect ioh in I&nsas show republican gains throughout the state. The votes cast were for sheriff, county clerk, county treasurer, register of deeds, surveyor, coroner and commissioner in each of the 105 counties; judges in eight judicial districts; judges of two courts of common pleas, and two state senators to fill vacancies caused by resignations. The republicans have elected six of the ten judges and the two state senators to fill facancies, John T. Chaney, of Shawnee county, and C. O. Mo» Carthy, of Jefferson. Neither had apj opposition. NKW JERSEY. The Republicans Gain Seven Seats In the Levlalatare. Newark, N. *r., Nov. 8.—Revision of the election returns shows no change from the figure* of Tuesday night. The stute senate stands as last year, while in the assembly the republicans have gained seven seats, the division being 41 republicans and 19 democrats. The senate stands 14 republicans and 7 democrats. IOWA,

Additional Return* Serve to Increase Shaw’* Plurality. I>cs Moines, la., Nov. 8.—Election returns come in slowly, but continue to be more favorable to the republicans?. Gov. Shaw’s plurality which, Tuesday night, was figured at 52,000, is now declared to be 61,000 by the republican committee, the democrats conceding 50,000. Comparison with the vote of two years ago shows republican gains, although the vote is much lighter than then. Several counties heretofore democratic, notably Monroe, have given good sized republican pluralities. The 67 counties so far reported give Shaw a plurality of 40,301. Twen-ty-three counties are yet to be heard from. * The indications point to republican gains in the lower house of the legislature. Cummins, candidate for the Uuited States Senate, claims he will have a clear majority in the house and that the senate will be evenly divided between himself and his chief oppo cent, Gear. MARYLAND. A Sweeping Democratic Victory. Baltimore, Nov. 9.—Unofficial returns from Baltimore city and all the counties of the state show that the democrats swept practically everything before them in Tuesday’s contest. John Walter Smith, Dr. Joshua Mering, and Isidor Rayner, their candidates for gc.vernor, comptroller and attorney general, respectively, were elected over the republican candidates by approximately 11,300 majority. $The official count, it is thought, will not materially change these figures. They elected 11 state senators for four-year terms, which, with their four holdovers, will give them 15 out of a total membership of 26 in the upper houso of the general assembly. In the lower house, composed of 91 members, the democrats fleeted 66, while the republicans will have only 25 delegates In the legislature to meet in January of next year. _ / CALIFORNIA.

Democrat* Carried San Francisco, Electing; Phelan Mayor. San Tranciseo, Nov. 8.—The full returns of the municipal election have not yet been received, but a close estimate places the plurality of James D. Phelan (dem.), for mayor, ^t over 6,000. The democratic also elected the assessor, city attorney, recorder, district attorney, coroner, public administrator, four police judges, and 15 of the 18 supervisors. The republicans have probably elected the auditor, sheriff, county clerk, tax collector, treasurer and three supervisors. Mayor of Sacramento. Sacramento, Cal., Nov. 8.—George Clark (rep.) has been chosen mayor of Sacramento by 1,822 majority. - Bronx Parle Zoological Garden*. New York, Nov. 9.—The new zoological gardens in the Bronx park were formally opened to the public with appropriate ceremony yesterday by the officials of the New York Zoological society. Invited guests to the nutnof 150 or more and a considerable number of other persons were present. The reptile collection is the finest in the world, and it is expected that ail departments will soon be as complete. The President Evidently Gratised. Harrisburg, Pa., Nov. 9.—President McKinley passed through Harrisburg in his special car. He was evidently gratified with the result of the elections, for while he did not leave the car, he waved his hand to the crowd at the station, and smiled good naturedi* r • •

Uivgnta Captured mad Spanish Prisoners Rescued—Only Means ot Karaite Cat Of—Handicapped by Rain—Iaanrgeata Bare Plenty of Guns, Bat Little Ammunition. Manila, Nov. 10, 5:50 p. m.—The landing of American troops at San Sabian, Tuesday, was the most spectacular of its kind since Gent Shatter’* disembarkation at Daiquiri. Co-Operation Waa Complete. The co-operation of the troops and the navy was complete. The gunboats maintained a terrific bombardment for an hour, while the troops rushed waist deep through the surf, under a heavy, but badly-aimed rifle ' fire from the insurgent trenches, and charged right and left, pouring volley after volley at the fleeing rebels.

Forty Filipinos Captured. Forty Filipinos were captured, mostly non-commissioned officers. Several insurgent dead and five wounded were found in a building which had suffered considerably from the bombardment. The town was well fortified. The sand dunes were riveted with bamboo 20 feet thick, which afforded a fine cover. Troops Prepared to Load. When the troops arrived in the gulf they found the gunboats Princeton, Bennington and others waiting. After consultation with Gen. Wheaton, Commander Knox of tbe Princeton and Commander Sheridan of the Bennington, anchored on the shallow vwo miles off shore. The gunboats formed a line inside, the Helena, Calao and Manila close in shoie.. With the first gun of the bombardment the small boats were filled rapidly without confusion, by Maj. Cronit’s battalion of the Twenty-third infantry, and Capt. Buck’s battalion of the Thirteenth infantry. Forced tbe Insurgents to Flee. While the lines of boats moved shoreward, the gunboats poured the full force of their batteries into the trenches, soon forcing the insurgents to flee through the burrows dug back of the trenches. About 200 men held their places until the k^els of the boats grated on the shore when their Mauser bullets commenced to sing overhead. , The Foot-Race Begun. The battalions formed in good order. Capt. Buck, with Pierce’s and Patton’s companies, pursued the insurgents on the left into the bamboo thickets. On the right was a frail foot-bridge across the river, leading to the town. Hpantsh Residents Delighted.

Gen. Wheaton, personally command- I ing. ordered a charge across the bridge, and Capt. Howland, of his staff, led Coleman’s and Elliott’s companies of the Thirteenth, and Shield’s coni'panv of the Twenty-third, who behaved splendidly under their first fire, into' the town, which was nearly deserted, except by the aged and some Spaniards who had hidden in the buffalo wallows, and who came shouting delightedly toward the Americans. Two companies of the Twenty-third had a skirmish al@ng the Dagupan road with the retreating Filipinos. Maj. Shields, of the staff, with his command, captured severhl insurgents. After the Skirmish. The troops camped in the rain during the night, and in the morning Gen. Wheaton established his headquarters in a church, quartered his men in the houses and sent the captured Filipinos, beyond the outposts with orders not to rteurn. it The inhabitants describe all the roads as praetically impassable, and say they believe Aguinaldo has seeret^fed a yacht in the river Longapo, near |$ubig, for use in his flight when he finds his capture is inevitable. Devoted to Reeualivanct*. Wednesday was devoted to reconnaissances. Maj. Logan went northward to Santo Thomas and burned the Filipnos’ barracks. Capt. Buck’s Thirteenth went to San Jacinto and disposed of small bands. |1 Marsh’s Twenty-third went toward Magdalen, on the Dagupan road, and had several sharp fights with small* parties. They killed eight men, brought in 20 prisoners and had five, men wounded. Oalr Mean* of Retreat Chat Off. The Santo Tomas road seems to bo the only possible means of retreat for a large body north from Tarlac, and Gen. Wheaton commands it. The insurgents of this section are going to reinforce Tarlac. The battleship Oregon has arrived here from Hong Kong. Northeast of Mabalaeal. Capt. Chenoweth and Lieutenants Davis, Van Horn and Bradford, with two companies of the Seventeenth regiment, reconnoitering northeast of Mabalaeal, attacked and routed a battalion of insurgents, killing 29 of them. Three Americans were wounded. Spaaish Prisoners Released. Gen. Wheaton reports by the Bennington that when the landing was niude at San Fabian the insurgents encountered 300 recruits who were on their way to Dagupan, where they expected the expedition to land. They retreated to the mountains. Twenty; eight Spanish prisoners were rescue® The report of the landing at Lingayan, was brought by the commander of the Manila, who saw the fight. He got the geopraphy mixed. 1/ Gen. Wheaton is bringing supplies from Angeles by the use of mule and | caribou teams. I • 4
