MILWAUKEE, Nov. Election re-
turns received up TO the present show
Butler defeatad by Robinson in Massa-
chusetts by at least ten. thousand ma
jority. Substantial gains by The Re-
publicans in New York. A straight
Republican ticket elected in Penn
lsylvania. A clear majority in the
Connecticut Legislature insuring Re-
publican successor to Senator Plat. Pro-
bablyDemocratic gain inVirginia Large
gains to the Republicans in New Jersey
and a Republican victory in Minnesota
with the usual majority. The campaign
IN Massusettes is one of the most re-
markable ever known and the vote
polled Is thirty Thousand larger than
was ever before cast in that state. But
ler's defeat comes mainly from the cities
Boston alone giving him but six thou
sand five hundred eleven plurality when
his managers confidently claimed
twenty thousand.
The result is a surprise to Republican
themselves. The Globe-D Democrat con-
ceeds Robinson's election by 10000 ma
Jorlty. In New York Gen. Carr Re
publican candidate for Secretary of
State, run far ahead of his ticket in a
number of districts, and it is claimed
he is successful. Chairman Warren of
the Republican State Committee, claim
ed the State last night by $4,000, and
the committee claim 70 out of 128 as
semblymen, gain of five in the Senate
and % in the Assembly. Tie total vote
polled was somewhat heavier than
that of 1882. The Virginia election
passed off without incident, except a
personal attack on General Malone,
while endeavoring to secure quiet at
the polling place in his own ward The
affair passed off without bloodsbed.
The election in this state is spoken of as
one of the most exciting since 1869.
The race issue was never before so
strongly marked in regard to the cleo
tons.
| The New York Times says the Re-
! publican candidate for Secretary of
State is elected by fifteen TO twenty
thousand, and the rest of the ticket
Democratic. The Republicans have a
good working majority
The World (Democrat) says the DEM
ocratic triumph is of no ordinary char
acter, and means Democratic victory
in 1884.
The Chicago Tribune says Republi-
cans have reason to rejoice over cleo
tons.

The first reports gave the most ex-

but it is stated by a brief dispatch from
the scene that ten people in the town
we're killed outright sud several other
lives were lost in the surrounding coun-
try.
Fifty or sixty people received injuries
of various kinds, and many of these

The China and France Unpleasantness
A Clear Statement of the Case.

PARIS, Oct. so. In the French Cham
bers Nj. Challonel LaCour said that
China had never recognized the Bourse
treaty, and no understanding between
France and China had been effected
thereon. 1t was evident that China
sought to expel the French from Ton
quin. China at length decided to form
ulaie q proposition demanding the rec
ognition of their suzerainty and the
evacuation Of the place occupied by the
French, but did not attempt to discuss
the rights conferred on France by the
treaties with Anam. They simply ig-
nored those rights, and declared Ton
quin to be their property and demanded
that the French should retire, promising
to concede to France a position similar
to that which she now occupies in GER
tain parts of China France sent a re-
ply stating what she considered pos
sible basis of agreement.
The Cabinet, he said, still considered
the Bourse treaty inadmissable, but the
constitution of the neutral zone between
Tonquin and China would create stu
alton advantageous to France To sum
up, China demands reyersion to the
oottS Va NIlSi SAlSbtu DElOI W INT
year 1873. France declared that she
must prosecute firmly and rapidly the
work already so far advance. The ne
gotiations with China, he added, have
been only interrupted. Let events
speak for themselves. Perhaps the
time will come when China will be
happy to find us still ready to examine
arrangements compatible with Frances
interest and honor. France never de-
parted from the path of firmneSs and
moderation, The force of circum-
stances rendered her the representative
of the interests of all Europe in the East.
M. Challonels LaCour concluded by de-
claring the Chambers had to express
confidence, not in the government, but
in itself, added he, the policy of the
Cabinet has been endorsed by the legis-
lature.
After M. Challonel's address, NJ. Per-
rim spoke. He reproached the govern
mert for not having fulfilled its promi-
ses, and characterized The Tonquin az
fair as mere adventure. Frenchmen,
he said, We're not afraid of war with
China, but necessity therefor must first
pc shown. He thought it had better
penetrate China by trade than by arms
Twenty thousand men were required in
Tonquin, and it would be imprudent to
spare SO many Frenchmen in the pres
ent situation Of affairs in Europe.

Express Robberr at Portage.

PORTAGE, Wis, Nov. Yesterday
morning the American Express COM
pany met with loss at this place of
between $1,000 and Sc, 900 in currency.

tined for Milwaukee w. z. Long, the
expressman at the depot, had the
money with other packages in leather
sack which suspended from his should
err When train No. came in, which
carries the express east, he started for
the train. As he went out of the door
the sack caug bit on the door fastening,
and ripped open the stitches in the bag,
which were old aud rotten. Mr. Long
thought it WAS his coat that caught in
the door. 1t was then about midnight,
and the platform was crowded with
people, among them several suspicious
characters. When he reached the
train Mr. Long discovered his loss, and
ran back to find it. He found two
packages, but the Milwaukee package
was missing, and the most diligent
search has failed to discover il. The
theory is that the package was picked
up by some one on the platform who
saw il drop. and made away with it at
once. No suspicion rests upon Mr..
Long. The agents and managers of
the express company, with experts, are
making energetic endeavors toget some
clue to the missing money, but as yet
without success.

it will confer great advantages upon

increase of our commerce. Among the
prominent friends of the treaty is Gen.
