HARRISON WINS. T.
Verdict Of the People at the Polls
] on Tuesday. g
The Republican Candidate Will Have $50
Votes in the Electoral Collego-He Car
ries New Cork, Indiana and West j
Vlrgtnia-A Republican Majority
In the New Congress.
THE RESULT.

The latest returns OF Tuesday, election
leave no reason to doubt that the Repub-
licans have carried tho country and that
General Harrison will succeed Mr.. Clevc-
land in the Presidency. A dispatch from
the New York Times und.), which has
heretofore refused to surrender the State of
New York to the Republicans, admits that
Harrison has carried the Empire State,
that Hill (Dem.) is elected Governor, and
that there is no doubt of the election Of
the Republican Presidential candidate.
The latest report from Indiana, in addi-
ton, says that Chairman Jewett, of the
Democratic State Committee, conceded
that his State had been carried by Harri-
son by 1900 plurality. <-1
Connecticut has closed all doubt with a
small plurality for Cleveland-a plurality
being ample for that purpose-but the
Connecticut Governor, who must have q
majority vote, will now be elected by the
Legislature, and the Legislature is Repub-
lican.
The result of the National election has
not been changed in effect by late returns,
except that the addition of the electoral
votes Of West Virginia to the Republican
column is indicated, the Republicans
claiming to have carried the State for Har-
rison, to have captured the Legislature
and to have elected all the Congressman.
The late returns from the Congressional
contests show that the Republicans have
secured full control of the National Gov
eminent, increasing their majority in
the Senate and establishing q majority
in the lower House. The Legislature Of
Delaware is Republican by 2 on
joint ballot, which will result in the cleo

retirement of Secretary Bayard to private
life for time at least. If the Republic
ans of West Virginia have secured the
Legislature OF that State, as claimed, a
Republican successor of Kenna will be
chosen.
In the lower House of the present Con-
gress the strength of the parties is: Dem
ocrats, 16S; Republicans, 1853; Independ-
ents, 4. The returns so far received indi-
cate, granting doubtful districts to the
Democrats, that the lower House
of the Fifty-frst Congress will
stand: Republicans, 166; Democrats,
159; Republican majority Of

THE CORAL INDUSTRY.
Rapid Decline of a Once Lucrative Bust.
ness in Italy.

Rapid Decline of Once Lucrative Bust.
ness in Italy.
The. report of the British Consul at
Naples that the once famous coral
fishery of Tore del Greco is rapidly on
the decline is a piece of intelligence
which has long been expected. Year
after year the end of this once lucra-
tive industry has been approaching
nearer and nearer. For the coral
fisheries of Sicily and the vicinity are
experiencing the fate which has over
taken our oyster beds. They have
been overdredged. The oyster scalps
can with care be replaced, but it is ex-
tremely doubtful whether an equally
good fortune is in store for the more
valuable coral banks. The oyster shell
and the pink branch of the coral are
composed of exactly the same SUBJ
stance. But, while the mollusk can
gather enough of lime for its house
in the course of a season or two, the
delicate polyp takes a long time
to collect particle after particle of
calcareous matter from the waters
of the Mediterranean and then by some
mysterious organic process color tho
dense mass. It must, therefore, fol-
low, even allowing that the fishermen
intermit operations for some years, that
what was once busy occupation for
thousands will for years be reduced to
very small proportions. This is what
the Neapolitans are expecting. Dur
ing the present season only one hun
dred boats were equipped. and the aver
age return was last year no more than
three tons for each, and of this much
was dead or broken coral, which brings
comparatively small price. In the
palmy days of the trade Tore del
Greco would often send out five hun
dred boats, each manned by ten or
twelve men, the outfit representing,
before a single haul was made, about
f480 each, while the profit from
the venture often rose as high
as 90 per cent. It is not half as
much now, and the gain has beer
further reduced because the cost Of
wages, tools and other expenses have
rapidly increased. The result is that
the boat owners are abandoning the
business, hiring out their craft for
ordinary fishing, employing them to
transport stone for the builder, who.
in new Italy, is so busy, or. when they
are unfit for the purpose of the COM
mon carrier, breaking them up for fire.
wood. As for the coral fishers, they
are migrating in large numbers either
to the United States or the Argentine
Republic and Uruguay, which has al
ways attracted the Italians far more
than the colder regions of the north,
while others are finding employment
in agriculture or other trades. Al
Tore del Greco there was q time when
fully four thousand people found EN-,
ployment in this industry. Barely
fourth OF the number can now make
livelihood, and the chances are, as We
have said, that this year will see tha
ranks of the coral fishers still further
depleted.-M y Herald
