Ia regard to the Congressional situation
The World says ia Congress as we'll az the
Presidency lost? AS the belated returns
from the Congressional districts come In the
complexion of the next House grows more
and more doubtful This is the most i'm.
portant and interesting of the questions OF
the campaign yet undecided. 1t is posi-
biiity that the republicans may have con-
troll Of the 5lst Congress. The democratic
majority OF is is dwinding away. Several
estimates made by democrats in this city
bring the margin down to votes. The re.
pubicans are claiming that full returns will
give them the House. This is improbable,
but distinct possibility. There have been
some surprising republican gains. Demo
cratic St. Louis has elected three republican
Congressman. The republicans make APP
parently we'll based claims 10 three gains in
Michigan. But the democrats have gained
in Virginia. New York's delegation is un-
changed as TO parties. The fact Of the stu

uncertain to turn The House majority either
way"
