WASHINGTON, November AT the
Cabinet meeting to-day department esti.
mates for the next fiscal year were consid.
cred. The total estimates are only seven
millions OF dollars more than the appro-
priations last year. OF this increase about
two millions is on account of pensions,
about three millions on account Of the
Postofice, and two millions among the
other departments.
Secretary Sherman mentioned the yery
gratifying condition OF the finances, and
remarked that II Congress would COOP.
crate with the Administration there would
be very heavy reduction OF the National
debt next year. The increase OF about
two millions Of dollars in pension esti.
mates is due to the Arrears OF Pension Act
which stimulated the applications for pen.
sons. Twelve or fifteen thousand pen.
sioners have been placed upon the rolls
who, It is believed, never would have ap.
piled but for the excitement growing ont
OF the act giving arrears OF pensions.
The attention of the President being
called to-day to the various rumors afloal
as to the Russian and English Missions,
he replied that there was no necessity for
filling these missions, and that no names
had as yet been agreed upon. The rumon
were but the merest speculation, with no
basis in fact, The saving 10 the Treasury

TnE United States Supreme Court, on
Monday last, decided in favor Of the plain.
tG the suit OF the Countess Twaloff against
the New York Central Railroad Company
to recover the value Of costly laces stolen
from her baggage. The decision says:
"ln the absence OF legislation limiting
the responsibility Of carriers for the bag
gage OF passengers, in the absence OF rea.
sonable regulations upon the subject by
the carrier Of which the passenger has
knowledge, and in the absence OF all in
qury Of the passenger as to the value OF
the articles carried, the court cannot, as a
mere matter Of law, declare, as it was in
effect requested in this case 10 do, that the
tlilure OF the passenger to disclose the
value Of his baggage is in itself a. fraud up
on the carrier, which defeats any right Of
recovery. II is safe to say that by general
law, in the absence OF special regulations
by the carrier Of the nature indicated, a
passenger has the right to carry, without
extra compensation, such articles adapted
10 his personal use as his necessities, com.
ioIt, convenience or qualification may sug-
gest.' .-f4 -.
Justices Field, Miller and Strong dis
sented on the ground that two hundred
and seventy-fve yards Of lace, claimed by
the owner to be worth $4,000, and found
by the Jury to be of the value OF $4,000,
cannot as matter OF law be properly con.
sidered as baggage Of a passenger for
which the railroad company in the ab-
sence of any special agreement should be
held liable.

BALTIMORE, November 5.-The excite
ment over the election is passed. and
through the smoke can be seen the gener.
al result, although the county returns are
not complete, some have not been heard
from on account of unprecedented scratch.
ing. City returns not complete till nine
O'Clock this morning. They give Hamil-
ton majority OF 1921 Total vote 49,
900. This is smaller than any previous
Democratic majority for ten years, except
1875. Then the Democrats were opposed
by coalition. The indications are that
the Democrats have carried every county
on the State ticket, but in half the counties
the Republican and Taxpayer local tickets
are elected. Total majority for Hamilton
is probably 1900. Howard and Carroll
counties were raided by Baltimore roushs,
driving the colored voters from the polls.
At Elkridge two Representatives were
shot and seriously wounded. At Jessup's
the outrage was repeated. At another
poll John Marty was probably fatally
shot, and fifty voters driven from the
polls. At Sykesville the negroes opposed
the roundefs, and in fight several were
wounded. The polls were practically
closed to the Republicans. The Sheriff
declined to issue q warrant for their ar.
rest or call posse, fearing greater VIC.

in at Elliot and other places, At Freder.

BosroY, November o. The coalition
movement Of Democrats and Republicans
in Massachusetts for the purpose Of seating
Butler in the chair OF State has failed,
and John D. Long, Republican candidate,
has about 1880 plurality in all the towns
and cities Of the State. The Legislature,
as usual, Is strongly Republican, end
stands 81 Republicans to Democrats aud
Butterflies in the Senate, and about l75
Republicans 70 s. Democrats, 20 Butler
ties and Greenbackers in the House.
The total vote Of the State shows considera-
BILE falling of from last year on both
sides, and this may be accounted
for by the fact that very many RepuLli.
cans scratched Long and did not vote for a
candidate for Governor, while many
staunch Democrats did not take interest
enough in the election to 90 10 the polls.
It was not their fight, they claimed, and
hence, they did not take part in it. The
result shows that the men whom Butler
depended upon TO manage his election
affairs are not practical, and cannot be re.
lied on. In Boston they confidently pre-
dicted eight thousand for the General, who
received only $780, The manufacturing
towns and cities stood firmly by Butler,
particularly Fall River, Lowell, Law.
renee and Lynn. or the nineteen
cities in the State, Long carried eleven
and Butler eight. The vote for John
Quincy Adams, Democrat, was quite
small and the Prohibition nominee was de-
serted by his party. The Greenbackers
made poor showing everywhere. The
Republicans elected every member ofthe
Governors Council, but it is possible that
the election of John ?. SpaIding, in the
Fourth district, will be contested by Flat
ley, Democrat, on the ground Of bribery.
The district is Democratic by about 5000,
but Spalding very wealthy man, was
elected, it is claimed, by the proiuse use OF
money. Butler carried the Third, Fourth,
Filth and Sixth Congressional district.
What the next move OF the coalition will
be is not yet developed.
