COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. S.-Chairman
Dick gives out the following:
The republican victory is complete and
unprecedented. McKinley's plurality will
probably reach $4,000, the greatest ever
given any governor except John Brough
governor.
THE republicans have elected 25 or 26 of
81 ser ators and from s. to 80 of 107 repre-
sentauves also three-fourths of the county
ofhcfals of the state chosen yesterday and
most>of the district officials.
An of the congressional districts hut two

Dy the greatest popular ma jority that ever
rebuked any political sophistry in our his
tory
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. S-The returns
at noon show that Gov. Mckinley has $1,000
plurality over Neal and 10000 majority over
all his three opponents.
The legislature is overwhelmingly repub-
lican and stands as follows: Senate-Re-
publicans. "a; democrats. T. House-Repub-
licans, 81; democrats, %.
Out of SIS counties in Ohio Mckinley car
ried "a and in many of the others was only
few hundred behind Neal. 1t is the larg-
est plurality or majority ever given any
man elected governor in the state save the

Falling Off in Votes of Both Par

POPULISTS MADE A POOR SHOWING.
Democrats Surprised at Their Big
Majority.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
RICHMOND, Va, Nov. S-The demo-
cratic victory in this state yesterday was as
licans. While several of the democratic
leaders made boasts of $4,000 majority, none
supposed in reality it would go over 10000.
The estimated majority of 10000 gives great
rejoicing among the democratic leaders.
1t seems now that the populists will rot
get over five or six members of the legisla-
ture out of lbs to be chosen. About half of
the old Senators hold over. This is the
greatest surprise of the election. DIS the
democrats had conceded the populists at
least twenty-five members on joint bap"t.
o Ferrall, as was predicted, ran slightly
behind his ticket. The republican victories
in other states has thrown a damper over
democracy here. and has somewhat cur
tailed the rejoicing over the result in Nir-
ginia.
RICHMOND, Va, Nov. Sit will be some
days before complete returns are in from
the inaccessible counties. but nothing that
can happen there will change the results
as communicated by State Chairman Ely
son in the following telegram sent last
night to President Cleveland:
Col Charles T. OFerrall and the entire
state ticket elected by a heavy majority.

both branches of the general assembly"
In spite of every effort to make Repre-
sentative OFerralTs vote in favor of the
repeal of the Sherman law an issue in the
campaign the populists made an uneXpect-
edly poor showing. Al present they do not
seem to have carried more than four or five
out of the hundred and more counties in
the state and they will hardly have a re-
spectacle minority vote in the general as
sembly. They will probably show up better
in some OF the distant counties, which are
populist strongholds, when they are heard
from.
There was considerable apathy on the
democratic side, light vote and O'Ferrall
ran behind his ticket, but there was no pop
ular enthusiasm or good working organiza-
ton to give life to the opposition.
Secretary Harris of the populist party is
claiming twenty populist members and two
sena tors, but can name only ten members
Asked to explain the defeat, he said that
the democrats had polled more votes and
done more cheating than the populists and
that the republicans did not rally to their
support as they had promised to do.

THE HONDURAS INCIDENT,
Ii is Stated That This Government
VIII Take Prompt Action.

Pending the receipt of iurther particulars
in regard to the firing on the Pacific mail
steamship Costa Rica at Amapala, Hondu-
raS, on the 9th instant. the details Of
which were published in yesterdays Star
steps VIII be taken by the Navy Depart
ment for the full protection of American
interests in that country. The L. s. 5. Al
lance sailed from San Jose de Guatemala
yesterday for Acajutla, Salvador, which IS
within a days sailing of Amapala. No spe-
cial orders have yet been issued to her
commander, but he is under general in
structiCns to cruise along the west coast
OF the Central American states. using his
own judgment as to his points of stoppage.
and ne may possibly proceed at once to
Amapala OF his own voiition. If he has
heard of the trouble there.
Inc attitude OF our government in such
cases as this has been pretty well deiiaed
in several instances, notably that of Gen
i5arrundia and MijareS, but in one Ease
more closely still approximating, the pres
ent case. This was what is known as the
Gamez case. Gamez a Nicaraguan politi-
cal refugee, in lSSj took passage at San Jose,
Guatemala, for Puenta Arenas Costa Ricl,
on board the Pacific mail steamer hondu-
ras. AMI while the vessel was lying in the
port OF San Juan del Sur. Nicaragua, the
local authorities MADE EFFORTS to arrest him.
The captail of the ship. McCrae refISad
to give up mis- passenger, and eventually
sailed without the u-L2l permit Proceed
ings were Instituted against Capt. McCrae
in a Nicarlguan court, which resulted in
mis- acquittal, the court holding that the
captain was not under the obligation 10
deliver Gamez TO the NicaraguCn authori-
ties. ana that his refusal to do was 40
disrespect to the lat;er. The case being
referred to the supreme garanada, the
finding Of the lower court was approved.

AT THE WHITE HOUSE,
The President Did Not Come in From
Woodley Today.
Private Secretary Thurber Did Not
Care to Talk POlftics-Interest mt
the State Department..

The wet and dismal weather may have
depression that pervaded all the execu-
tive departments today. or possibly the
result of yesterdays elections may have
had something to do with it. The Presi-
dent remained in the sclusion of his coun-
try home all day, engaged, so it is said
at the White House, in the preparation
of his annual message to Congress. Private
Secretary Thurber was on duty at the
White House as usual.
No Views to Express.
He had no views to express on the SUBJ
ject of politics. a good part of his time
was taken up in explaining to Senators
and Representatives who had braved the
wet weather in the hope of comforting
with the President on public business that
the President was away today in ac-
cordance with his purpose of spending
five days week at ''Woodley'' in consid-
Grafton of his message and other matters
of importance like the Hawaiian and Bra
lillian affairs.
1t was further explained that the dis
tribution of federal patronage has been re-
1erred to the members of the cabinet, and
that the President does not propose to
give any more time to visitors on that SUBJ
ject.
Has Not Talked on the Election.
If the President has expressed any views
on the result of yesterdays election he has
been careful to do so only in the presence
of persons who are not likely to repeat
them. Much interest was shown at the
State Department in the election in Massa-
chusetts, because Mr.. Josiah Quincy late
assistant secretary, resigned his position
in the department for the purpose of TAX
ing charge of the democratic campaign.
Secretary Carlisle and Assistant Secretar-
les McAdoo and Hamlin are expected 20 re-
turn to Washington this evening. MIR.
Hamlin voted in Massachusetts, and Secre-
tary Carlisle and MIR. McAdoo were in New
York as interested spectators.
Secretary Lamont returned to Washing
ton last evening after having voted the
straight democratic ticket in New York
yesterday, but did not put in an appear
ance at the War Department, apparently
preferring to transmit his business at his
home.

indicating plurality in the entire state of
about $4,000, which will he increased to 10000

Returns now being received are bv entire
counties and hence are not comparable with
the precinct returns first received. Thew
indicate that the reDublcans have carried
sixty-five and probably sixtv-eight of the
ninety-nine counties. insuring a republican
majority of nearly thirty on Joint ballot in
the legislature. For the first time in eleven
years the republicans elect several anti
prohibitionists. probably fifteen or twenty
to the general assembly. indicating the
probable adoption of local option measure
by the next legislature
The prohibition and populist votes are

TOPHEAVY BOATS
The Method That VIII BE Followed in
Correcting the Defect.


The special naval board of which Com
modore Walker is president has indorsed
generally the plans proposed by the regular
board of bureau chiefs for remedyine ton
heaviness and other faults in the design
and construction of the cruisers Detroit,
Montgomery and Marblehead, but has de-
cided upon a series of experiments before
taking action in the case of the gunboats
Machias and Castine each of which is re-
ported to be topheavy. One of these ex-
periments, perhaps the most important,
will take place in New York. 1t will con-
sist in placing the gunboat Castine in dry
dock filled with water, then placing suffi-
cient weight upon one side to make her
keel over. This is to determine the center
of gravity of the vessel, and the data OBJ
tanned will be used in ascertaining her
metercentric height. AS the Machias is
one of the vessels whose defects are TO he
considered by the board, the experiment is
of unusual interest. and the result will be
used in determining what plan the board
shall recommend for remedying the de-
fectS in the gunboats named. similar ex-
pertinent will be tried with the new cruiser
Columbia.
The Columbia will be given a trial trip
next week. and prior to it the vessel will
be placed in a dry dock and weighted as in
the case of the Machias. Consideration of
plans for disposing of top-heaviness and
general "crankiness' in the new gunboats
will be commenced by the beard after the
test with the Columbia has been made
The Navy Department has been notified
that during a preliminary run on Long
Island sound yesterday of the Marblehead,
one of the vessels believed 20 be defective
everything worked well, the screw making
163 revolutions and a speed of 17.3 knots
being shown under ordinary conditions.
This showing is not considered important
in connection with the reported erankiness
of the ship, because she has not vet re-
ceived her heavy armament and encoun-
tered no rough weather.

Mr.. Jumu Gets IL

The President has settled the fight over
the Office of collector of internal revenue for
the seventh district of Indiana by the ap-
pointment of NJ. Joshua Jump. This is re-
garded as great victory for Senator Voor-
lees.
Mr.. Jump is partner of John f. Lamb.
an ex-Congressman from the Terre Haute
district, and protege of Senator Noor-
hees. Interest in the appointment arose
from the fact that the successful candidate
was antogoniZed by the Representative
from the Terre Haute district, Mr.. Brook
shire. The latter was an original Cleve-
land man, while all of the other leading
democrats of the district We're opposed to
the Presidents nomination, and secured
an anti-Cleveland delegation to Chicago
against his efforts to the contrary. These
facts were laid before the President by Mr..
Brookshire. who was confident for a while
that Mr.. Jump would not be appointed,
but the Endorsements of Senators Noor-
hees and Turpie and of Representatives
Taylor, Bretz, Brown and Cooper finally
secured the appointment.
