Harrison Elected
He Carries Indiana and New
York.
California, Connecticut and New
Jersey Democratic.
Republicans Gain Control of Con-
greSS.
Special Dispatch to the CALIFORNIAN.


THURSDAY, 9 A. NJ.
A dispatch to the editor of the Rut-
land Herald from an editor of the New
York Evening Post says, "Republicans
have elected los congressman and the
democrats I6O."
Chairman Quay issues the following
statement: "The republicans on
Tuesday carried by increased majori-
ties all the states carried for Blaine in
1884, and in addition have New York
by plurality of 5000 and Indiana by
a plurality of from 4, 600 to 5000. West
Virginia is doubtful. Gen. Harrison's
election is assured"
New York. Democrats claim the
election of Gov. Hill by 10000 plurali-
ty, but if country districts show gains
for Miller as thus far Miller may be
elected.
Connecticut. Democratic by $50,
but Republican legislature will elect
Buckley governor.
California. Conceded by republi-
cans rs democratic by 1900.
The above dispatch gives the latest
news received at this office up to the
time of going to press. There seems
to be no reasonable doubt of repub-
lican victory and of Harrison's election.
The New York Sun, Herald and World
conceded it yesterday, and the tone of
the democratic press in the country has
been all that way up to last night.
The democratic national committee,
however, do not yet give up. The
committee issued bulletin in New
York last evening to the effect that
New York, California, Illinois and
Wisconsin were still doubtful that
Illinois and Wisconsin were not so
close as California, which is almost
sure for Cleveland New York, they
said, was very doubtful indeed, and an
official count will be necessary this
would delay the announcement of the
result for three days; the bulletin also
said that Connecticut, New Jersey and
Indiana were surely democratic. This
action on the. part of the committee has
caused the democratic press to change
it's tone and to claim the result as
doubtful. George Eaton of Troy, n.
Y, telegraphed friends in Danville
last evening that the state had not been
given up by the democrats, who claim
ed it by 1900.
With all the rumors that are likely
to be aflOat for the next two or three
days the CaledOnian readers will need
to keep cool heads and even tempers.
Democrats who acknowledge defeat
have done so very good naturally for
the most part. Let republicans re-
member this and keep cool.
The story of the election is an inter
esting one and we give as much space
to the details as our space will permit.

Through the courtesy of Col. I. c..
Fletcher of the railroad commission we
are i'll receipt of copy of the first BIZ
ennial report of the board, bulky
volume of over 400 pages. In this con-
nectiOn, and in view of the fact that a
correspondent of the CaledOnian some
time since stated that the commission
had ut that time exceeded the apprO-
priation of $4,000 per annum, it is
proper to state that, according to the
Free Press, the state auditors books
show that the total cost, including
every thing, of the commission from
January l, 1897, to September %, 1888,
was in round numbers $4,000. So that
a small sum over half the maximum
amount allowed has only been expen-
ded. During the existence of the board
it's work had been as follows: Col.
Fletcher AS days, Mr.. Clarke about
the same and the chairman not quite
as much as that.

The report of the committee on the
insane, of which l.. ID. Hazen is chair
man, was presented last week. 1t
urges the need that is recognized by
all that either the present asylum be
enlarged or that the state build Il new
one. The question of who owns the
present asylum is a curious one i'll it
self and one not easily determined.
It's history is thus told in the report =:
1t had its inception in legacy of $lO,-
900, left by will of Mrs. Anna Marsh in
1884. The will named four trustees to
whom the legislature granted a char
ter, who soon asked for additional
funds. The state has now given the
asylum $4,000. No other gift from
any source has been received. The
present property is worth $500, 900.
To whom does it belong7 1t would
seem that the state has a larger money
interest in il than any body else.

ST. PAUL., Feb. S.-The rate-cutting
is still going on but the roads are taking
smaller bites than they were at first, for
none of the lines are quite SO hungry as
they were few days ago. All the Chi
cago roads Monday put in here the same
rates outbound as were put in last week
on westbound, except on grain and its
products. First-class is now 80
cents and SO on down to -
cents. In addition to this East
ern trunk lines have made a
rate of 70 cents first-class to Chicago on
all freight destined to St. Paul & Mime
apoljs. This is just what Chicago has
been struggling against for years, and
this it is that has given her her COM
mercial greatness. 1t will be observed
that, though the cutting continues, the
reduction is only in small sums.

They Follow the Negroes Again. But the

PITTsBURG, Penn, Feb. 7.-When the
hour arrived for the non-union workmen
at the Solar iron works to quit work
a large crowd of strikers and their
friends gathered in the vicinity
of the mill. The men were
escorted to their homes by the po-
lice in squads of thirty. They were fol-
lowed by an immense crowd, which
hooted at the negroes and called them
"black sheep" and "ccabs." During
one of the trips the non-union workmen
were treated to shower of stones, and
for few minutes it looked dangerous,
but the officers promptly turned
on the mob and drove them back,
after which they escorted the colored
men to their homes. A number of per-
sons were struck by stones and slightly
injured, but no one was seriously hurt.
Officer Friedman, whom it was alleged
fired the shot that struck young Kenny,
was arrested on q charge of felonious
shooting, preferred by an uncle Of the
boy. Friedman says he did not use his
revolver.

Hayes is a member of that committee.
The bill was prepared by l.. G. johnson,
and covers an important and valuable
tract of ground, over which contest has
been had in the interior department for
several years. This land is 16O acres and
worth not less than 100000. The city
is to be allowed to buy it for $500 as a
public park, because the city has made it

This Veek---Not Much Prospect of Very
Exciting Debates---Urgency Deficiency
Bill Takes Precedence for Importance.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Reconsideration
of the Indiana contested election case Of
Lowry against White, will be resumed
in the house to-day. Action favorable to
Mr.. White is expected to be reached late
in the afternoon. If any time is left Mr..
Crane will call up the resolution for a
constitutional amendment providing that
congress shall meet annually on
the first Monday in January, and
the terms of members shall COM
mence and terminate on Dec. 81, instead
of March 4. The principal business of
bill until it is disposed of. The debate
may be protracted. The pension appro-
priation bill stands next in order. If
other bills on the calendar are
considered, that accepting an invita-
ton to participate in the interna-
tional exhibition at Paris will
probably be the first taken up. The
bill to make bills of lading conclusive ev-
idence that the goods represented have
been actually received by the transporta-
ton company may also be reached. The
house committees will probably work
more industriously during the coming
week, and many additions will be made
to the business on the calendar.
The sen ate has not yet arrived at that
stage of the session when it begins to
regard the transaction of business as an
important part of its proceedings. Next
week there is likely to be much tax and
little action Riddleberger adheres to
his intention of enlivening the proceed
ings and annoying his associates until he
gets his resolution up for action on the
British extraditionss treaty in open ses-
session. Mr.. Dolp has given notice
that he will, on Tuesday, address the
senate on the subject of Indian war
claims in Oregon. Mr.. Plat is the only
senator who has given notice of an inten-
tion to talk tariff, although Mr.. Teller,
If opportunity offers, will probably pay
his respects to the subject. The educa-
tional bill will continue to be the order
of unfinished business after , o'clock
daily, and it is quite sure to drag along
through the week. Mr.. Call will be the
next speaker on this bill. Mr.. Davis
is anxious to secure consideration
during the week of general pension
bill, which will provoke some partisan
debate The reason for an investigation
of the alleged insufficiency of the postal
service comes over as unfinished business,
and will probably be adopted early in the
week. The urgent deficiency bill will
doubtless reach the Senate before the
close Of the week, but it is not likely
that it will get further than the appro
priations committee.

WISCONSIN CENTRAL CUT.

A Heavy Slash 1t Rates1 1t Ashland to
Meet the 500 Competitor.
ASHLAND, Wis, Feb. 1.-THE heaviest
cut in freight rates that has ever been
known since the first railroad came into
this city occurred Monday, when the
order of General Freight Agent Barlow,
of the Wisconsin Central, came, in
structing Agent Dyer to make the follow
ing reductions: First class, from 63 to 80
cents per 100; second 81 to 80; third, 38
to 50; fourth, % to 25; fifth, 16 to Is.
This is, of course the result of the action
of the cut in Eastern business by the
Burlington, and the 800" after its com.
pletion, and the heavy slash which fol-
lowed in rates over all roads running into
St. Paul.
