rect, and it is even possible that Davis is
elected. The latest footings carefully made
show the latest vote in 439 towns to be
140, 900, Of which Plaisted has 70,965;
Davis, 6S,857; Nye, ia; scattering, 255;
Plaisted's majority, 1879. Eighty-one
small towns remain to be heard from,
whose vote last year was: Republican.
2.427; Fusion, 374. The present Fusion
majority being only 1913. Should these
towns vote as last year, Davis would have
Q clear majority of 366, or plurality Of
1906. As the returns az the vote on the
Constitutional amendment, providing for
an election by plurality, indicate its adop
| ton, there is o very strong probability OF
Davis election. The towns to be heard
from are chiefly in Aroostook county, ON
the New Brunswick border.
The Democrats have been preparing for
a grand celebration on Thursday night, but
the dubious outlook Of to-day has dampen-
ing effect upon them, and this morning
will bring them no cheer. The later re-
turns change the estimated majorities in
the Congressional districts somewhat, but
not the results.
John R. Fellows, who has just returned
from Maine, told a Herald reporter that
the Republicans were using the canvass
ing boards to the very best advantage OF
their candidates. He says the Democratic
party in Maine was animated by what they
felt was certain victory in November, and
contributed more freely to the campaign
fund b for years past. Five plantations

the remotest upper waters Of the Kenne-
bee, received returns this morning which
give Davis, 1893; Plaisted, 1911. Last year
Davis received 1856; Smith, 1872; Garcelon,
50. This is q Republican majority Of two
this year, against a Fusionist majority Of
67 last year.
The National Republican Committee
claim that Davis is elected, upon the basis
Of a dispatch from Maine. saying that Da-
Wis majority will reach 145.
The National Democratic Committee
have received the following dispatch:
PORTLAND, September 16.-Three hun
dred and sixty-four towns give Plaisted
65, 995, and Davis 81, 828-Republican ma
jority, 1883. In 1876 the same towns gave
the opposition 81. 1882, and the Republicans
70,497. The Republican majority in 1876
was 15,115+a Republican loss since 1876 of
1927. One hundred and twenty towns.
not yet heard from, gave a considerable
Democratic majority in 1876. There is no
doubt Of Plaisted's election. For Con-
gress, the contest between Lindsay and
Philbeck is close and doubtful.

The WO Chung Matter Again.
New YORK, September 16.-A Washing
ton dispatch says: Within the next few
days the Department of State hopes to be
in receipt of advices from China that will
settle the status OF the screw steamer Wo
Chung, now lying at San Francisco. The
whole question, said Secretary Evarts to-
day, is n purely Of Interpretation Of
status. There is, Of course, nothing what
ever In the various treaties relative to the
vital question Of discrimination, other
than the changes specified in the treaties
themselves, and hence the first and fore
most matter to find out, before coming to
any settlement, is whether China does or
does not discriminate against vessels with
in her various ports. The Cabinet has
taken no definite action on the premises,
aside from Mr.. Hayes refusal to issue a
proclamation exempting this vessel from
the payment of dues. / should add, how
ever, that there is no indication we can
find that China has thus Disseminated, il
Is denied, and l know the spirit and wish
OF our Government is to extend every
reasonable and just facility to the Chinese
Empire in all matters Of commerce. The
correspondent adds: In case it shall be
established by the Chinese authorities that
no tax beyond the alien tonnage metioned
in the treaty. is exacted from American
masters, that no discriminating duties are
made, and that there are no lsvies in the
shape of excessive pilotage, and that our
vessels are placed on q par in this respect
with vessels Of China herself, Mr.. Hayes
will issue q proclamation, and the imports
levied on the Wo Chung will be returned,
leaving for further consideration the fact,
or in the problem. which refers to the in
equality between Chinese and American
vessels in the closed ports Of the Empire.
