With the exception Of the Third District,
where Hilborn and English are running a
remarkably close race, the official returns
to date make no changes in the
standing of the several candidates
for Congress. With the returns just pub

the count in Oakland yesterday,
however, Hilborn gained four votes in one
city precinct, aud the returns from Alta
mont showed that A should be taken from
English and credited TO the Republican. This
leaves Hilborn again in the lead, though his
lead Is yet by no means safe one. The
friends Of English continue to claim his
election. though the claim is not made with

his going into the Cabinet as thing not TO

that it was not possible for him TO tell yet
what would be done.
"The financial affairs Of the Government
may be In such shape as 10 make an extra
session imperative" said the Senator. ut
appears probable that we shall find not
enough money in the treasury for the needs
of the Government. We shall have to see
what Congress does at this session, If il does
not repeal the Sherman law relating to the
purchase of silver, and take such 9th er ac-
tion as the situation demands, we may be
swamped. and upon these things depend
the calling of an extra session."
