The Outlook Now.
SAN Francisco, Sept. 5. 9 P. M
Three fourths of the votes in the city and
state has been counted. Perkins is lead
ing Glenn about II 800 and White with
the same Completion of the count will
increase Perkins plurality of the count
to $4,000 or $4,000 probably. In this
city he will gain on Glenn, ahd in the
country on White during the remainder
of the count. ALI the state ticket will
go with the head except justices, which
cannot yet be determined. It is now
probable that the republicans will elect
all the congressman, though it is very
close in the city district. The republi-
cans elect the railroad commissioner in
the northern district, and the working
men theirs in the city and in the south
ern district. The legislature is still in
doubt. Kalloch continues to increase
his lead and is elected beyond doubt.
The workingmen's chances are best for
sheriff, auditor, collector and county at
torney, and are sure on city and district
attorney. The republicans will probably
get the balance, except perhaps two or
three supervisors and school directors.
The superior judges are divided.
Seaman Killed.
SAN Francisco, Sept. Ga seaman
named James Alexander, belonging to
the ship City of Shanghai, was struck
on the head yesterday by block which
fell from aloft His skull was fractured
and he died in the evening. He was
native of Scotland, and aged 35 years.

dence, No. 1908 Post street, last Thurs
day from the effects of an overdose of
opium, accidentally administered by her
self. She was q native of Russia and
aged 81 years.

While four laborers were excayating
at the corner OF Sanchez and Jersey
streets yesterday afternoon, one of them,
Stephen Kaler, was buried by the caving
of bank. He was soon extricated, but

of Ireland and aged 20 years.
Political News.
SAN Francisco, Sept. 6.-About if
teen hundred ballots remain to be count
ed in the city, and the canvass will prob
ably be completed before morning. Kali
loch now has 1882 majority over Flint
and is elected. The workingmen have
also elected the sheriff, auditor, district
attorney, city and county attorney tax,
collector, public administrator and sur
veyor. The republicans elect the asses
sor, coroner and superintendent of
schools. The offices of treasurer, recor-
der, county clerk, (street superintendent
and police judge are still in doubt with
chances in favor of the workingmen's
candidates. The superior judges will
probably be about equally divided. The
republicans are likely to elect four out
of five justices and their ticket of super
visors is believed to be successful with
perhaps two or three exceptions; also
five of their candidates for school direc-
tors. The workingmen have probably
elected three or four, Beerstecher and
Stoneman, workingmep, and Cone, re-
publican, are elected railroad commits
sioners. There seems to be no doubt
that the republicans have elected all four
congressman. The legislature is still
undecided, but if the republicans have
not majority they will in all probabil-
ity be able to control both houses. The
result on the state ticket remains as here
tofore reported, though it is not quite
certain how the supreme court may
stand
