XIX CONGRESS.
Complexion of the Next EOuse of Repre-
sentntives-secretary EEe Pliers ms State


Complexion of the Next House of Repre-
sentntives-secretary Me Pherson's State
ment
WASHINGTON, Nov. u.-Hcn Edward Nc
Phsrson, secretary of the Republican Congres-
sional Comm ttee, says, that from the most au-
thentc information he has been able to secure
the next House OF REPRESENTATIVES will consist
OF 1872 Democrats, 141 Republicans, Green
hacker (Brumon of Pa.), and l Fusionist (Wea-
yer of Iows) AS compared with tho MEM
bership of the various parties in the present
House, this estimate shows loss of 10 votes to
the Democrats and to the Independents, I"
and gain of % Republicans aud Fusionist
vote. His classification is subject TO possible
change of two or three votes. The election of
Weaver, OF Iowa, Fusionist, with Democrat
ic proclivities, is only inferred from the des-
patch published this morning. One or two of
the Tennessee districts are claimed By the Re
publicans, but positive information has not
yet been received about them, aud the Fifth
Wisconsin district, which is still in doubt, is
conceded by this estimate to the D smocrats.
Mr. Post, secretary of the Democratic Cor
gfessional Committee is not now in the city,
but il is understood that no information has
bsen received at the Democratic committees
rooms which is not in accord with Mr. Nc
PnerSon's.

THE ALBANY FRAUD.
No Disposition ON Either Side 10 Question
the Electoral Count.

ALBANY, N. T., Nov 10.-The examination
mere today before the police court into the
frauds In the 18th ward returns for coroner
ana county treasurer sustained in full all the
cnsrges and corroborated the charges already
poblished. All the inspectors but one, who
could not be found, testified to the accuracy of
the original returns electing McDermott and
battersoy, Republicans, and denied that the
new fraudulent returns were correct. SEN
sation was caused by the evidence of Thomas
Ooweli, clerk of the be ard of supervisors, who
destined that the returns were removed from
the safe after s o'clock on Thursday night
He testified that Streville, county clerk:
Delan, deputy county clerk; City Marshal, and
Gallagher, an expert in safes, were present 10
the county clerks Office at that hour Cogell
himself summoned Gallagher by telephone at
O'Clock. He gave the combination of the
safe to Gallagher and asked him to open it,
Gallagher was unable to do so Cowell then
asked Streville II he must have the returns
that night Streville said he must have them.
Cowell then told Gallagher to break the lock
and open the safe, and he did so. Dolan took
the coroner and country treasurer returns out
OF the safes and went out of the room. Cowell
does not know where he went Cowell, Gal
lsgher and an assistant, and Higgins, then
went nome, stopping at saloon near City
Hall Tor few moments. The counsel for
Battersby and McDermott believe that tomor-
row they will be able to show precisely how
the fraud was committed, and by whom. The
frauds were committed by two subordinates
acting on their own responsibility; and there is
no disposition to attempt to create difficulty
with the electoral count on account OF this
fraud.

day to canvass the votes. Both parties we're
represented by counsel. Col. VIM. s. Cogs-
well, for the Republican National Committee,
objected to the returns from several districts in
Finishing, oyster Bay and North Hampstead
on the ground that the inspectors had failed to
foot the columns on the returns, and these re-
turns Were ordered to be sent back to the in
speetors They will be returned to the board
tomorrow morning, when the canvass will be
completed Counsellor johnson, representing
the Republican State Committee questioned
the validity OF the returns from the first ward
OF Long Island City, claiming that they were
not signed by the properly qualified inspectors
he had been told that the chairman Of the
inspectors had left the polling place, had re-
ceived no ballots aud had not been present
when they were counted, and that another
person had taken his place and signed the re-
turns without being duly qualified. Super
visor McLaughlin suggested that the objections
OF the counsellor were too interfering with
the work of the board, and moved that the
canvass proceed, and this course was adoDted,
and no further notice was taken of Mr.. john
sons objection. 1t is now almost certain that
there will be no change in the figures already
published, showing Clevea1d's majority to be
l922. The board adjourned till tomorrow
without completing the canvass.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 10-Hon. Joseph E.
Mcdonald was shown a despatch from A. p.
German to chairman Henderson today, and
had the following to say in regard to the stoa-
tion: II think that proclamation of Mr.. Bar
mum, calling upon Democrats everywhere to
ire guns and in other respects treat the elec.
tlon OF Cleveland as a settled fact, was all
wrong. think also that there was no war
rant for exchange of congratulatory messages
between Cleveland and Hendricks, and thai
1t would have been better if Blaine had not
sent any message announcing the belief that
the Republicans had carried New York. NV
opinion is that there ought not to be a single
gun fired until the result Is fnally and offic;-
ally announced. The vote in New York is al
together too close for either party to claim the
State without absolute certainty. This is not
the time for inf ammatory speeches. but good
citizens shoold be prepared to await quietly
and calmly peaceable settlement of the
question by the proper authorities. My fear
Is that II a single gun be fred by either party
against the other in any of those demonstra-
uons, 1t might endanger the Federal Union,
and think everything shonld be done to allay
party spirit instead of inf1smiDg the public by
speeches such as some gentleman IN have thought
proper in the last few days to deliver"

Latest News from the Election
and the Count.

NEW YORK, Nov. -(Midnight.)-Up to
this hour the result of the ballot for Presiden-
tisl electors has been declared in 33 of the so
counties OF this State. The last previous re-
ports OF the county clerks gave Democratic
plurality of 1880. To-day's canvass has made
tritiiDg changes in six Counties, the result
showing net loss to Mr.. Blaine of three votes.
The remaining 27 counties have, with two ex-
ceptions, reported that progress was being
made, and they will for the most part report
results tomorrow.
To-day's reports speak of several irregulari-
ties as to form, which have compelled the
return OF ballots to the supervisors for cor
rected lists, but none mention any serious dis
crepancy in count In New York and Kings
counties there are indications of long and
tedious count. Several of the counties which
did not complete their canvass reported that
there was no reason to believe that when COM
pleted the figures would show any change
from those already given. These counties
have not, however, been taken into account in
the statements above made.

Several silly Reports Mentioned Which
Have Been sent Ont From Aususta

several silly Reports Mentioned Which
Have Been sent Ont From Augusta.
AUGUSTA, Nov. 1.-THE statements printed
asserting that the Associated Press agent here
is under the control of Mr.. Blaine is unuuali-
edly false. An extra agent was sent here to
insure unbiased and independent reports, and
whatever has been sent out by him bears evil
dence OF this. His reports are not seen by Mr..
Blaine, except that portion which shows on its
face that the information comes from him, such
as interviews, statements of the kilograms and
letters he receives. etc. These are revised only
so far as to insure their being correct. The
statement that Mr.. Blaine had "a 1.-TWO days
conference" or two hours conference 1t his
home with certain politicians, except ordinary
conversation open to every one present in the
house, is also false. The agent of the Associ-
ated Press was present nearly the whole tims
the parties named were there. They did not
call in body, but separately. The agent does
not domieie at Mr.. Blaine's house, as asserted,
and bis instructions to send no biassd reports
have been, and will be. literally fulfilled.
SECOND DISPATCH.
AUGUSTA Nov. u.--Thefe is nothing new
here of political nature. Everybody is wait
ing anxiously for the count, and on both sides
much disappointment is expressed that it
promises to occupy SO much time. Mr. Blaine
remains quietly at homo. He appears to be
waiting like everybody else, and occupies him
self about his ordinary affairs, and is enter
gaining friends who call upon him. He con-
tinues to receive large nRmbers of teleorams
and letters giving him information of alleged
frauds committed against him In New York,
asserting his election and urging him not to
submit TO be counted ont. It is again asserted
here, and generally believed, that the Hon.
Roscoe Conkling has telegraphed his congratu-
lations to Mrs. Morrill, on the assumed defeat
of Mr. Blaine
