The Next House of Representatives.
| WASHINGTON, November 4th.-Edward
| Mcpherson, Secretary of the Republican
| Congressional Committee, makes the fol-
lowing computation from returns received
up to o'clock this evening, of the political
complexion of the House of Representa-
tives of the Fiftieth Congress
| The returns, as far as received. indicate
the election of 154 Republicans 159 Demo-
| Gratis, 5 Labor and Independents, six doubt
full and one vacancy-325. The doubtful
are: One in Illinois Uands), one in Ken
lucky (Carlisle), one in Ohio (CampbelD.
and three in Missouri {Clardy, Grover and
Mansur). The Labor and Independents
are: One in Florida (Pendletonl, one in
Indiana (Rush), one in Iowa (Anderson),
one in Virginia (Hopkins), one in Wiscon-
sin (Smith). If the Democrats get four of
the doubtful ones, they will have 1853, or a
majority Of the House
| Mcpherson says the attitude of tne Dem
ocracy toward the present Administration
is similar to that of the Republicans
toward the administration of President
| Hayes. and that many dissatisfied Demo-
Gratis voted the Labor ticket. The Labor
party, he thinks, will become an organized
! factor il the political contests of the future,
and the Labor vote must be taken into
serious consideration.
Phil. Thompson, Secretary of the Dems
ocratic Committee, says the Democrats will
have a good working majority in the
House.
MCPHERSON CHANGES HIS OPINION.
LATER.-McPherson privately admits his
belief that the Democrats will have ma
iority in the next House of Representatives.
He says that his figures cannot be accurate.
as the returns are now so imperfect. but he
has no idea that the Democratic majority
will exceed ten or twelve. While the Dem
ocrats will have majority in the House,
the Republicans will have majority of the
States. This is an important advantage,
as in the event of our next Presidential
contest being thrown into the House of
Representatives the Republicans would
gain the Presidency. Should Henry George,
Powderly, or any of the Labor leaders be
nominated for President and receive large
vote, the election might be thrown into the
House, in which event the contest would
be settled by the party having the majority
of the States.
Mangus Makes Things Lively.
KANSAS CITY. November 4th-Mangus,
head Chief of the Chiracahua Apaches,
and thirteen bucks and squaws passed
through here under guard to-day, en- route
to Fort Marion, Fla. While the party were
going through Colorado Mangus Jumped
through a car-window and ran some dis
tance before he was recaptured. Then he
obtained a knife and stabbed himself in
half dozen places, inflictin5 serious
wounds. This morning he attacked his
interpreter, striking the man about the
head with the shaekles on his wrists. Dur
ing the consequent uproar the train started,
carrying off all the party except the in
terpreter, who was left behind and will
follow tonight.
THE CHILD OF THE DESERT MAKES IT LIVELY
FOR THE CoLoRED TROOPS.
DENVER, November 4th- A Pueblo
special to the Ners says: Mangus Colorow,
the Apache Chief in charge of a detach-
ment of colored troops on the way to Flor
ida, attempted to escape near Pueblo this
morning. When the train was three miles
east of Pueblo and running at the rate of
! forty miles an hour, Mangus asked permis-
| sion to go into the saloon, which was
granted. As soon as he entered he locked
| the door, smashed the glass and leaped
| through the window. The train ran nearly
mile before it could be stopped When
it was backed up, Mangus was found lying
on his side on the track, unconscious, and
badly cut and bruised, with three ribs
broken. He was taken aboard the cars,
and soon came to his senses. He then
made desperate fight One hand had
/ oil of
hanging to the other, and he slugged one
| of the soldiers with it in the face, knock
| ing him down. He then got on the floor, and
| thence under seat, struggling with half
dozen soldiers and bowling. The rest of
| the Apaches set up q roar, but each was
guarded by negro with a cooked carbine.
| For while bedlam prevailed. Finally
/ Mangus was stretched across two seats,
with bell-eord wound around him all the
way up his legs and body. The sudden
death on Tuesday, at San Maria, of the
| Spanish interpreter, made Mangus sullen,
and he took it TO heart greatly, which is
| supposed to have caused his fit of despera-
| ton.
California Fruit in Good Demand.
| CHICAGO, November 4th.-1he market for
| California fruit is generally unchanged a
number of carloads of grapes have been
4
! of the week, which are meeting with a
/ very good demand. Tokays, choice, are
going at S403 25 per 40-pound crate, and
! occasionally some fancy lots a little over
, this. Muscats are also in good demand,
and sell for 81 1908. Morocco and En-
perors are selling about the same as Mus
cats, yet they don't seem to be in SO much
favor with the public generally as either
| Tokay or Muscats. Pears continue scarce
and firm, choice fruit bringing S3@y3 80 per
| box Ounces continue to drive along at
| 81 per box, and as the season for this fruit
| is nearly over, il is not thought advisable
TO make any more shipments to this mar
i ket. Grapes and pears will be wanted as
long as the season for them in California
! lasts.
