ILLINOIS.

CHICAGO, Nov. 7.-Gen. Harrison has
carried the state of Illinois by at least 20, 900
majority, and it may be more, while Fifer
has been chosen governor by majority not
far from 10000. In Cook county the vote
on governor IS close, and it is not probable
that the majority either way, when figured
out, will be large.
While the congressional returns are neces-
sarily meagre, they are to the effect that the
Republicans have held their own. Gen.
Post is re elected in the Peoria district, and
Congressman Guest is surely safe in the Rock
Island district by a comfortable majority.
Jehu Baker will succeed himself in the
Eighteenth, while Adams, in the Fourth dis
trict, is saved through the grace of his
friends in the country towns. Abner Taylor
is.elected by large majority, Frank Lawler
scrapes through, and the Hon.'W. E. Mason
is reelected.
At 2:l5a. m, 2S6 precincts outside of Cook
county, show net Republican gain of 2,63S.
II maintained throughout the state Harri-
sons plurality will be about 25,DU0 Palmer
shows large gains, but present figures indi-
cate the election of Fifer, Republican, by
about 5000 to 5000 plurality, but this is un'
certain.

VIRGINIA.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Nov. 7-At midnight
w. w. Scott, secretary of the state demo
cratic committee, said that although the re-
turns were very ineagre, the indications are
that Cleveland and the Democratic ticket
would receive decreased majority in the
state; he thought the majority Of Cleveland
would be from 1000 to 5000. He thought
the Democrats would gain at least two IL not
three members of congress. This would put
Democrats in the place of Browne, OF the
sixth district, and also in the places OF
Gaines and Hopkins.

APOLIrICAL SENSATION.

A Purported Fac Simile Letter of W. W.
Dudley Upon the Indiana Election
IND1ANAPoIIs. Nov. The publication
by the Sentinel this morning of what pur-
ports to be fac simile type written letter
sent out by w. ". Dudley, treasurer of the
national republican committee, giving in
strnctions regarding the election in Indiana,
is the political sensation of the hour here.
Scarcely anything else was talked of around
headquarters. The Sentinel states that the
original copy is in possession of its editor,
and can be seen by any member of the
citizens committe Of 100, or the fair cleo
ton league, or by any officials who are
charged with the administration OF the law.
There ia great variety of opinion as to
its genuineness. Early IN the day Colonel
Dudley wired the editor of the Indianapolis
News, declaring the letter a forgery, and
threatening to prosecute any paper publish
ing the eame. Editor Morris, of the Sen
tinel, avows his conviction in the genuine
ness of the authorship and signature Of the
letter, and to q reporter stated that he would
tell the grand jury what he knew about its
authenticity. Mr.. Morris stated that the
signature had been examined by bankers
and experts familiar with Mr.. Dudley's
writing who agreed that it was bis signature.
Colonel Dudley's son promptly declared
on his arrival in this city this morning that
the fac simile of signature attributed to his
father a. printed in the Sentinel was not his
fathers handwriting.
The printed letterheads of the national re-
publican committee, such as are found at
the headquarters Of the state committee, do
not correspond in type or style with the fac
simile lesterhead a. printed In the Sentinel.

Ell PAso, Tex, Nov. 1.-The boldest train
robbery that ever occurred in the history of
the southwest took place to-day early in the
morning, few miles north of the station
of San Jose, on the Mexican Central rail-
road, some eighty miles south of Ell Paso.
Three masked men, heavily armed, stop
ped the train, secured about $4,000 Of
money, then mounted the locomotive, cut
loose from the train ard travelled north as
fast as the engine would run. Before doing
80 they cut the telegraph wire. They went
within three miles of Paso del Norte. then
got off and were seen to make their way
across the sanded and deserted country to-
wards the Rio Grande, which they must
have reached within few hours.
When they left the locomotive they re-
versed the engine and sent it travelling back.
l: ran some twenty or thirty miles, when, at
the beginning of heavy grade, the steam
was exhausted and it stopped.
Ieegraphic communication had been,
meanwhile, established with Paso del Norte,
and the deserted train was sent after, but up
to shutdown tonight it had not yet arrived
at Paso del Norte. For that reason further
particulars are unobtainable at present.
TIE train robbers are, however, undoubted-
ly on American soil.
