INDIANA. Incomplete returns received by the Indianapolis Journal up to 2 a. m., Wednesday, indicate the most sweeping Republican victory in the history of the Hoosier State. Returns had been received from 516 precincts, out of a total of 3.063, which showed a Republican gain of 14,975 over 1892. At this rate the Republican plurality may reach from 50,000 to 70,000. The Legislature will bo Republican by a good majority. Every Congressman is claimed by Chairman Gowdy. In the Fofirth District Jas. E. Watson has probably beaten the veteran Democratic leader, Wm. S. Holman. Overstreet in the FifthlDistrict will have Sohandsome plurality over Cooper. The Eighth. District will give Faris a plurality over Brookshire of at least 1,000. Hatch in the Tenth is elected by 1,800 plurality. Marion county lias ‘gone Republican by an 2,000 majority. At [2 o’clock Democrats claimed that the vote on the State ticket would bo very close. Official returns from twenty-two precincts in Marion county showed Republican gains of 181. At Democratic headquarters the Western Union dispatches received up to 2 a. m. showed that in 161 precincts the Republicans had made a gain of 3,908 over the Cleveland-Harrison vote. It was figured and conceded that Democrats were losing at the rate of 10 to a precinct, which would give the State to the Republicans by 30,000. Chairman Taggart, however, refused to allow the State to be counted as lost, and confidently claimed the election of Congressmen Bretz, Stockslager, Holman and McNagny. NEW YORK. The Republicans have carried New York Stato by estimated pluralities ranging from 130,000 to 150,000. These figures represent the probable plurality of Levi p. Morton- Republican, for Governor, .over David B. Hill, Democrat, based upon New York city and Brooklyn complete, and returns from more than half of the election districts above the Harlem riyer. The total vote for the two leading candi- 1 dates is considerably in excess of that polled for Flower and Fassett for governor in 1891. in addition to which is the votes cast this year for Everett P. Wheeled independent Democrat, which will exceed 20,000. The tremendous Republican sweep in the city and State, it.isestimated, has .elected twenty-seyen Republican Congressmen, a gain of twelve over the present representation in Congress. Hill Will run behind even the voto for Maynard last year, and loses his own county of Albany, an old-time Democratic stronghold, which gave Maynard 2,500 majority. In New York city Strong is elocted over Grant, the Tammany candidate, by a great majority. The Tammany tiger is badly scotched. OHIO. • Ohio has broken her record on Republican pluralities. The largest plurality heretofore was when John Brough, Republican candidate for Governor in 1863, had lOl.OCOover Clement L. Vallandigham, Democrat, the Tatter being exiled at the time in Canada. Last year Governor McKinley carried the State by overßo,ooo, but no such plurality had been previously known except in the noted Brough-Van-iandigham canvass. While the Republican jelaitn a plurality for Secretary of Stato of 125,003 to 150,000, the Democrats tooncede that the Republicans have made 'large gains over the McKinley vote of 'last year, and possibly beaten the Brough highwater mark of 1863. On the basis of the State vote the Republicans elalm seventeen of the twentytone Congressmen, the present Ohio delejgation in Congresa consisting of eleven Democrats and ten Republicans.

ILLINOIS. The returns from Illinois were more Incomplete and unsatisfactory than from other BUte. At midnight the Chicago Times issned a bulletin as follows: “In pur opinion the State has gone Republican, Cook county Is yet in doubt.” Republican ad rices, however, indicated a| phenomenal Republican gain, and it was Claimed that If these were maintained the (Republican plurality would be at least *70,000 on the State ticket, and the Legislature, will be largely Republican. WEST VIRGINIA. Specials to tho Pittsburgh Dispatch trom Grafton. W. Va., indicate the election of Dayton over Chairman Wilson by a majority of 1,000. Democrats, however, refused to concede tlie defeat of their favorite. —— COLORADO. I Mclntyre (Rep.) will have a majority of 15,000 to 30,000 over Waite (Pop.) for Governor. Waite haa run behind bis ticket (many thousand. If tbo Republicans have 30,000 majority on the head of

their State ticket thoy will undoubtedly control the Legislature and re-elect Senator Wolcott. Pence (Pop.) Is beaten by Shafroth. Republican, for Congress in the First District. Bell, Populist, may defeat Bowen in the Second District, but his majority of 12,003 two years ago will be greatly reduced. Dispatches from all parts of the State say a very full vote was polled, and in the cities fully as many women voted as men. The polls did not close until 7 o’clock, and it will be very late before any definite figures are re. ceiveth In Denver and suburbs about 85 per cent, of the registered vote was cast. Women worked earnestly at the polls all day for the success of the Rep u bile an ticket, and the result is largely due to their efforts. MICHIGAN. Returns received at Detroit indicate a Republican plurality of 30,003 for Governor Rich. The Democratic committee concede the election of Governor Rich, Republican, but quote no figures as yet. They claim to have elected Mayo, Democrat and Populist, lot Lieutenant-Gov-ernor. They claim the election of Griffin in the First District, Barkwovth, Democrat and Populist, in the second, Carlton in the Seventh and Churchill in the Tenth District. Meager returns from the First District show that the independent labor political movement has been adverse to Griffin. Democrat, and the election of Corliss, Republican, seems certain. KENTUCKY. . The returns received at Louisville were very incomplete, but showed a heavy Democratic loss. It_was belieyed, however, by Republican authorities that the Democratic congressional candidates wero elected with the possible exception of Otvens in the Lexington district, and McDermott in the Louisville district. Latest dispatches stato that four Republican congressmen are elected. Wisconsin. Republican Stato ticket elected by a majority of 35,000 to 40,600. The Legislature will be Republican. Congressional | returns had not been received at 2 a. m. Wednesday. TENNESSEE. Indications are that Brown (Rep.) has defeated Snodgrass (Dem.) for Congress in the Third district, Hamilton county and Chattanooga having given Brown an unexpectedly large majority. At Democratic headquarters, at Nashville, it is admitted that the race for governor in this State is unpleasantly close for Turney (Dem.) NEBBASKA. Holcombe, the fusion candidate for Governor, is elected by 3,000 plurality. The Legislature will be close with the chances favoring a Republican organization of that body. MINNESOTA. Gov. Nelson, Republican, is re-elected by an increase over his plurality of 14,000 of two years ago. NORTH DAKOTA. Returns received at Fargo were unusually meager, but showed Republican gains. UTAH. , Republican estimates are that Cannon, . Republican, for delegate to Congress, wlil have 1,100 majority, but this is not conceded by tbe Democrats. I LOUISIANA. The entire Democratic Congros sional delegation is elected. CALIFORNIA. ' Estee (Rep.) for Governor, and the entire Republican State and Congressional i ticket, are elected by good majorities.

ARKANSAS. I Arkansas returns a solid Democratic Congressional delegation by the usual majorities. MIBBIBBIPPL Dispatches from all quarters of the Btate received at Jackson indicate the election of the Democratic candidates for Congress In every district by large majorities. MASSACHUSETTS, Greenhalge (Rep.) for Governor has a majority of 45,000, a gain of 10,00 ) over last year. The Legislature will bo Republican and the Congressional delegation will be solidly Republican. KANSAS. The preciects heard from Indicate that Topeka Will go for Morrill and tho Republican ticket by about 4,000 plurality. Overmayor is getting a very light vote. Many Democrats seem to have voted the Republican ticket. Meager returns are re- : ccived from the woman suffrage proposit tlon Indicating that Topeka will vote against the amendment. Republicans will carry every ward in the city. PENNSYLVANIA. The Republican plurality in Pennsylvania will reach 250,000.

throughout the world will take the oath if allegiance as soon as possible. Alexander 111, Czar of all tho Russlas, was the second son of Alexander 11, and was born March 10,1845. He was the leventeenth of his house. He married November 9, 1866, Marie Dagmar, daughter of Christian IX, King of Denmark, lie was. therefore, a brother-in-law of Ihe Prince of Wales, who married the Princess Marie's elder sister, Alexandra, rod also of George I, King Christian’s econd son, who was elected King of the lellencs in 1803. Alexander II became zar of all the Russias March 3,1831,when iis father was assassinated by the Nihll,U. He was crowned at Moscow, May 37,1883, Alexander was educated in the Universities of his own country, but he Was never distinguished for his mental (rifts. In early life one of his chief characteristics was timidity, and it was written of him recently by a visitor to Russia that throughout his life he had continued cautious and indisposed to changes— Imperially to changes Id accordance with Western views. Physically tho Czar was a giant. Like his father, be was six feet In bight; deep chested, broad shouldered, hnd seemingly of great strength. His eyes were deep gray, and bis head was large and of a shape which phrenologists id indicated a strong will. He was a very obstinate, capricious, bad tempered

The reign of Alexander 111 has beon a period of sharp reaction. In later years a Conservative, as the sou of a Liberal father often is. and an absolutist, as every Romanoff is, Alexander 111 was driven, bjl the murder of his father and- tho Nihilist attempts against himself, to believe that his throne was in danger, that revolution was in the air, that every Libera! was hii persistent foe, and that the. only safe pol-

The late Czar was married to the Princess Dagmar of Denmark. His home life is described as ideally happy. The Grand Duke Nicholas, Czarewitch, who now becomes autocrat of all the Russias, is not the sturdy giant that lii.i father was. The Czarewitch was borrt May 6, ISOS.

Aj few years ago tho Czarewitch wrs sent on a tour around the world to breakoff an attachmont he had formed for art actress. It was while on this journey that the present Czar nearly lost his lifoj in a Japanese temple, a native policeman! making a savage assault upon him for al sacrilegious action while visiting the holy shrine. Grand Duke George of Greece saved the life of the young man, who now ascends the throne of his ancestors, on that memorable occasion. On his return the Grand Duke Nicholas fell in love with Princess Alix of Hesse. He had always had a penchant for her,: and now determined to make her his wife.; His determination gave his parents morej trouble, but his good-natured aunt, thej Dnchess of Coburg, then Duchess of Ecfin- 1 burgh, stood his friend.

CHASING THE DUOK IN STYLE

Sportsman can Now Paddle fifing Their Game in a Pnuematic Boat. New York Sun. Sportsmen whose tastes induce then! to seek duck and other waterfowl as a quarry should feel particularly happy this season. They are being catered to in a way which promises to render their amusement as comfortable as watching a kinetoscope fight, and after some little experience they may even dispense with the luxury of a yacht. The innovation which is to work this tran formation among aquatid marksmen is a pnuematie boat which can be carried around as a small parcel when not in use. When duly inflated and ready for active service the new sporting craft presents the appearance of a circular soup tureen on feet. The marksman gets inside and having adjusted his feet in the rubber boots attached to the boat, he has only to paduie away and enjoy himself. The outfit is completed by a storm cape, which protects the sportsman from the chin down and practically encloses him in a waterproof suit.

BOAT WITHOUT STORM CAPE.

The effect is not very impressive from an artistic point of view, but as an antidote to rheumatism and other ills which victimise hunters of water fowl, it has a practical appearance which looks encouraging. Having shut in everything but his head and gun, the sportsmati may still further impose on the watchful game by filling the loups around the boat with whatever he deems best adapted to screen him from the eves of his future victims. Foliage" from the bank, artificial flowers, old newspapers, or, in fact, anything which is not transparent, will suffice to complete his bower. The outfit exclusive of the trimmings referred to, weighs only twenty pounds. The boat is made in four compartments and is of rubber duck cloth. The boots,- which take the place of a yacht’s centreboard, are provided with fins, by the expert use of which a duck shooter may attain i fair speed in his voyages. (The disappointment of a light bag may thus be modified by a race against time to the nearest landing point, and the idea might be worked into a tournament by clubs to relieve the monotony of off days.
