quence of the threats of Cottrell had armed
himself with a double-barreled shot gun,
was sitting outside of his Office this morn
ing when Cottrell drove up in a cab.
After a few words had been exchanged
both men began firing, with the result

Bynum Would Like to be Speaker,

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. Civilian D. BY
mum, who has just been elected to con-
gress for the fourth term from this dis
trict, will be a candidate for speaker of the
new house. Bynum's majority is 1850, be-
ing the largest he ever received, and is
nearly three times as large as his majority
two years ago. He said tonight to a rep
resentative of the Associated Press: Il am
a candidate for speaker, and think that my
chances Of being elected are excellent. I
think so, for the reason that / believe that
the propriety of putting northern and
western men in the chair of the house
will be recognized by a majority of the
democratic members, and because of the
political position which Indiana occupies,
and the relations which the Indiana demo-
Gratis hold to the natioal organization.
ANOTHER CANDIDATE.
MACON, Ga, Nov. 6.-In the daily Tele-
graph tomorrow, Congressman James H.
Blount of the Sixth Georgia district, will
be announced as a candidate for speaker
of the next house of representatives.

All but the Governor.

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 1.-The following
statement is given out from the republic
can headquarters at midnight: "The
election of the entire republican state
ticket with the exception of governor by
plurallties of 1900 to 5000. Re-
turns from all but six counties make fig
ures on the governor as follows:
Richards, republican, 67,6O8; Boyd,
democrat, 69,880; Powers, independent,
.68,417. The independent headquarters
claim the election Of Powers by a plural
lty Of 1000, but concade the balance Of
the ticket to the republicans. The re-
manning counties will add to Powers rel
atiyely, but probabably hardly sufficient
to overcome Boyd's plurality

Kansas Still Republican.

KANSAS Cry, Kas., Nov. THE Off
cial canvass of the votes cast at the late
election in Kansas is being made to-
night at Topeka and has progressed far
enough to show that the entire republic
can state ticket has been elected with the
exception of Kellogg, who is defeated for
reelection as attorney general by Ives,
the Farmers Alliance candidate. The
republican majority is placed at about
10000. The vote on congressman is not
changed by the official count. The Kan
sas delegation will stand two republicans
and five Farmers Alliance men. The
legislature is still believed to be Farm.
ers' Alliance.

Desperate Democrats.

DULUTH. Mimi, Nov. 6.-The democrats
of st. Louis county are considering the
matter of taking steps to have the vote of
the towns of Duluth and Breitung thrown
out Oh the ground that the proper polling
place in the former district was at the poor
farm, whereas the election was held at
Lakeside, contrary to the advice of the
encouragement. They propose to have
the vote of Breitung, which includes Tow
er, thrown u on the ground that men
were naIuralized on Monday preceding
the election, and registered contrary to
the provisions of the Whitman election
law. If this vote is thrown out it will re-
duce Merriam's plurality in the county over
Wilson by 677 votes and elect a democratic
county attorney and democratic surveyor:
superintendent Of schools, clerk OF court
and alliance and democratic candidate to
the legislature. The only thing that de-
tiers them is the fear of injury to ,Whil-
mans chances for congress.

Mrs. Parsons Still in Jail.

NEWARK, N. j., Nov. 8.-Mrs. Lucy
Parsons and her eight anarchist friends
are still in Jail, she and four of the men
being unable to procure bail. Five
other anarchists were unable to pay
their fines. Hugh y. Pentecost called
on Mrs. Parsons this afternoon, but was
refused admission to Jail. Pentecost
strongly condemns the action of the DO.
lice in preventing the meeting and max
ing arrests. There has been SO much of
the anarchistic element displaying itself
here recently that the police deter
mined to crush it out. There is a -four
ishing international socialist society here,
composed mainly of Russians, Poles and
Germans, and meetings are held frequent
ly. The police say they will allow no
more public anarchistic celebrations.

Sioux FALLS, s.. D., Nov. This
mornings press has the following in re-
gard to the legislature: "From reports
received from every senatorial district
except two and from every representa-
tive district except eight, it is figured
that the republicans will have a certain
majority in the house and possibly a ma
jor1ty in the senate. There are forty-fve
members in the senate and the returns
show that the republicans have elected
twenty-five and the fusionists twenty
one with two districts yet to hear from,
the Twenty-ffth and Thirty-seventh. In
the house there are 124 members, of
which the republicans have elected sixty
n and the fusionists ifty-three, with
eight districts, having eleven members,
yet to hear from. Garland, democrat, in
ate by less than fifty votes. Many demo-
Gratis claim he is elected and will try to
get a recount in hopes of pulling him
through. Some of the candidates are
bowling fraud and threatening contests.
Mellette is surely elected governor by a
small plurality, with Loucks, independ-
ent, second. Pierre's majority for per-
manent capital will be about 5000.
INDEPENDENTS DIE HARD.
HURON, S. D., Nov. THE independ.
ents no longer claim. the election of
Loucks for governor. They concede
Mellette's success, but grit their teeth as
they do so. From all reports here the
republicans have certainly carried the
legislature, as they are known to have II
members and only require eight more to
make a majority. For these they have
twelve counties to hear from. The indie
pendents now claim only SO, but five of
these are III doubt and possibly more.
The democrats CLAIM "a. Huron has not
conceded the capita! to Pierre yet.
A DEMOCRATIC VIEW.
YANKToN, S. D., Nov. T. Chairman
Pecmiller of the democratic state GEN.
trial committee has received advlces this
afternoon from points over the state
which lead him to claim the election of
Taylor, democrat, for governor over
Mellette by a slight plurality. He also
claims that Weeks, democrat, for auditor
has defeated W. w. Taylor, republican.
Peemiller comedies the election of Pick
Ter and Gamble and all the republican
state ticket with the exceptions. He
thinks the legislature will be almost
evenly divided between the parties. This
would mean the defeat of Moody for
senator and more than probably the cleo
ton of Bartlett Trip to succeed him. It
is also rumored that Loucks, the Farm
ers' Alliance candidate for governor, is
elected by a small plurality, but this re-
port is disbelieved.

And the City on Wednesday Night
Was q Perfect Bedlam
Till Morning,
Whistles Blowing, Bells Ringing,
People Shouting, Bands Play
ing, Professions Moving.
Col. Price of Sedalia, No., Shot by
Judge Higgins Of the Pitts
County Court.
1900 Majority for Pierre.

PIERRE, s. D., Nov. 6.-The scene in
this city since the news that Pierre had
received a big majority over Huron for the
permanent capital beggars description.
All night long crowds surged back and
forth through the principal streets headed
by bands and with transparencies, and the
town was a perfect bedlam until daylight
this morning. 1t was impossible to main
tain order and the place was turned over
to the bowling but good natured mob.
Each train brought hundreds of Pierre's
workers and others who came to join in
the celebration. The bulletin board was
closely watched and each fresh telegram
that came in favorable to Pierre added re-
newed fury to the rejoicings until the
whole population seemed to have been
driven insane. TO strangers the scene
was incomprehensible, but to the Pierre
citizen it can easily be understood. People
have been fighting for the capital of South
Dakota for eight long years. Once the leg
jslature at Bismarck passed a bill making
Pierre the capital, but the bill was vetoed
by Governor Pierce, and again the capital
commission of 1887 decided on Pierre, but
changed their minds. Last year Pierre
won the temporary capital and now comes
a complete victory, and therefore the peo-
pie cannot be blamed for their overjoyous-
ness. Crowds kept on the streets and as
evening drew near it increased and to-
night the celebration keeps up. Red lights,
fireworks and Examinations are being dis
played, whistles are blowing, bells ring
ing and the shouts and hurrahs of the
crowd are mixed up III one grand bedlam.
Never before was here such a scene in the
state. A party of Pierre's workers who
came in on the evening train are being
carried up and down the streets on the
shoulders of the crowd. There is no
doubt but thai this will keep up all night
ity east of the river and 5000 in the Black
Hills, thus giving Pierre 1850 majority.

Latest Returns From Illinois.

CHICAGO, Nov. eighty foul counties
in Illinois, including Cook, out of a total of
1O2, give Amberg, republican, for state
treasurer, a plurality of 2.8ll over Wilson.
democrat. Raab, for state superintendent
of public instruction, has a plurality of
31,728 over Edwards, republican. Raab
carried by a heavy majority not only Cook
county, in which Chicago is situated, but
also had a long lead throughout the state
generally. Harrison's majority in the
state in 1883 was $4,000.

Merriam WAY Ahead.

ST. PAUL. Nov. Collection returns haye
been coming in slowly to-day and tonight
both committees still claim the state ticket,
the democrats by 800 and the republicans
by 5000. Official returns and careful est.
mates from all but seven counties in the
state give Merriam S3.65S, Wilson 76,344s;
Merriam's plurality 1910. The alliance
vote is considerably above DO, 1000. In the
Fifth congressional district Halverson,
alliance, seems to have been elected over
Comstock and Whitman, while in the
Second district Baker now claims the de-
feat of Lind and his own election. This
would wipe out our republican delegation
in congress completely. Sufficient returns
to substantiate Bakers claim lave not yet
been received, but the vote for congress-
man in the Second district will be very
close.

Dun's Trade Review.

New YORK, Nov. 7.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review Of Trade says: "The vol
ume of business, both domestic and for
eign, continues large beyond precedent
and in character prosperous. The cleo
ton interrupted business but little, and
the result has no %preceptible effect as
yet upon trade, though some fear Of ex-
tension of manufacturers may be checked
by uncertainty. The monetary situation
is substantially unchanged. Reports
from all parts Of the country show that
business is large and healthy.

New Hampshire Very Close,

CONCORD, Nov. 6.-keturns from all but
nine small towns give Tuttle (rep.) for
governor 4O,563. Amsdem (dem.) 10000,
Fletcher (pro.) 1872. The republicans
claim ten to twenty majority in the house
and the democrats from two to sixteen.
The result will hinge upon the question of
the admission of members elected under
the new census apportionment and
'classed towns" where the population has
decreased. A good deal depends upon the
course taken by the republican clerk of

Warwick's Majority Over Mckinley.

CLEVELAND, o., Nov. 6.-With the
official returns from Wayne, Holmes and
Medina counties, and complete unofficial
returns from Starke county, Warwick's
majority over Mckinley in the Sixteenth
district, is 22O. The republican state com
mittee still claim the election of PoOrman,
republican, in the Seventeenth district,
over Pearson. No returns have been re-
ceived from one county. 1t is known that
Poorman made heavy gains in his own
(Belmont) county, and as the district was
only about 500 democratic, the republicans
believe they have ground for the claim.

REPUBLICANS DIDN'T VOTE,

That is the Principal Reason Why They
Were Defeated In Wisconsin,.
MADISON, Wis, Nov. Elm an interview
with Governor Hoard tonight he said: SIT
is impossible for me to generalize any par
ticular statement concerning Tuesdays re-
suit. The very best politicians in both
parties are unable yet to give any intelli-
gent judgment as to the causes. Of one
thing I am assured, and that is, that the
republicans were defeated by a stay. at
home vote. In Dane county, alone, over
1900 republicans did not vote. 1t was
largely so all over the state. The demo-
cratic vote is not increased over that Of
two years ago."

Legislature Will be Democratic.
SPRINGFIELD, Nov. 6.-General Palmer
this evening received a telegram from
Carthage saying that Edwards and Mey-
ers, two democrats, are shown by the Of

this dispatch, said: "This makes 103 dem
ocrats on joint ballot, a majority of one"
The 1O3, the general explained, included
the Farmers Mutual Benefit association
men, all three OF whom he claimed were
pledged to his support on the ballot for

ILLINOIS STATE TICKET.
1t Is Now BEYOND Doubt That the Entire
Democratic State Ticket Has Won

1t Is Now beyond Doubt That the Entire
Democratic State Ticket Has Won
CHICAGO, Nov. 7.-At last the returns
from the state of Illinois have become
sufficiently complete to announce de-
cisively the result on the state ticket.
The democrats have won and Edwin s.
Wilson of Olney is elected state treasur-
or by 11,436, and Henry Raab, of Belle
vile, superintendent of public instruc-
ton by 1914. No compilations have
been made yet on the trusteeship of the
University of Illinois, but the indications
are that three democratic nominees have
also been elected by a slight majority.
The exact vote will not be ascertained
until the returns have been canvassed
and sent to the secretary of state at
Springfield. But the complete returns
leave no doubt that the result is as here
in stated, and that the entire democratic
state ticket is elected. Returns received
so far are official from all counties in the
state except eight. These have been
carefully estimated, and as they have
heretofore given democratic majorities
there can be no doubt that the
vote herewith announced is
substantially correct. Not until to-day
have the republicans of Illinois realized
the full extent of the avalanche which
has obliterated the old time majority in
this state. Fuller returns to-day showed
that in addition to the democratic gains
heretofore announced in their congress
sional districts, Congressman Payson
and Hill had also been defeated and
Snow and Stewart, democrats, elected.
This makes the Illinois congressional
delegation stand fourteen democrats and
six republicans.

And Iowa., Too.

DEs MONIES, Ia, Nov. Returns re-
ceived from ninety counties give McFar-
land 1899, and Chamberlain 1858.
Netherlands plurality is 1856. 1t is
estimated the other nine counties will
increase McFarland's plurality to 5000,
a net gain of 10000 over last year. This
apparently insures the election of the
entire republican state ticket by about
1000 plurality.

Not Much Change in Kansas,

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 6.-Returns received
to-day from Kansas do not change the
situation materially, as announced hereto
fore. The only positive change is the GER
tain election of Broderick, republican over
Moonlight, democrat, in the First con-
gressional district. This will make the
Kansas delegation stand: Republicans, 2;
farmers alliance, 5. The state ticket is
still in doubt, with the chances favoring
the farmers alliance.

l52, a gain os 1888 over last years vote.
Twenty-Five counties unrepOrted gave
Hutchinson, republican, for governor. $50
plurality in 1889. This indicates the cleo
ton OF Mcfarland by 5000 plurality and
the balance of the republican state ticket
BY pluralities somewhat smaller.

Merriam's Plurality.

.-AEE4tU
ST. PAUL, Nov. 5.--Corrected footings
up to midnight on the state ticket give
Merriam a plurality of LILA for gov
ernor. AS the official figures are being
received they are used and there is q
slight but constant change in the totals.
Merriam's vote does not gain as fast as
that for Wilson, but it is claimed he will
hold his own and carry the state by
safe plurality. Owens vote has been
larger than was at first conceded by the
politicians, being nearly $1,000, with
three counties not reported and some
not given in full. Lind appears to have
been elected in the Second Congressional
district, but later returns are cutting
down his vote so that Bakers claim Of
his own election may prove true, al.
though the republicans won't concedeS
that. At midnight Lind's plurality was
579, and the official figures had not all
been received. Halverson is elected in
the Fifth district by over 1900.
LATER.
ST.. PAUL, Nov. Sat 1:30 this morn
ing the returns on governor were: Mer-
RAM, 82,O72; Wilson, 81,OO2;' Owen, ST.
764; Merriam 8 plurality, 1,079. at the
same time the figures on the Second
district congressional election showed
635 plurality for Lind.
