WASHINGTON NEWS.
THE HAWAIIAN MATTER WILL BE
THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATED.

The Committee Determined to Secure All
Information Possible-The Conduct of
stevens and Blount to lie Looked Into.
DOMAIN hound Over
WASHINGTON. Dec. 3O.-The air of
mystery assumed by the senate com
mittee on foreign relations in its Ha-
waiian investigation gives the impress
sion that Mr. Morgan's resolution,
under which the inquiry is held, is
merely a cloak for a much more inn
portant inquiry than any as to the al
legged irregularity of our diplomatic re-
lations with those islands. There is
reason for believing that, while pre-
sumably the present question is for in
formation bearing upon the conduct of
Stevens and Blount, there will be an
effort at the same time to obtain any
information which will in the first
place prove the capability of the islands
for self government, and in the second
place the desirability or otherwise of
annexing these islands some time in
the future. 1t is understood perfectly
by members of the committee who
might have this in view that there is
no hope of anneying the islands under
the present administration. but those
who favor this disposition of the little
kingdom do not intend to be swerved
from their purpose by the fact that one
administration is opposed to this

have surrendered circulation to the ex-
tent of 81, l36 $50. OF this amount five

The result OF Tuesdays election was
the all.absorbing topic of conversation
on the streets of this city yesterday.
The Democrats were we'll pleased and
throughout the day as news from other
parts OF the district was received SWELL
ing the majority for Watts, Thomas and
Logan their satisfaction became greater
Chairman Ed. Woodward and other
members of the Democratic executive
committee for the city were greatly
proud OF the result. The work before
them was hard and they performed it
we'll. By courage, fidelity and per-
severance they overcame what seemed
at one time to be almost insurmountable
obstacles, and the Democratic majority
in proportion to the vote cast was
greater than ever before.
The commissioners of election will
meet in the Office OF the clerk of the
Hastings Court to-day to canvass the
vote in the city, and until this is done
the official vote cannot be given. The
com missionors are:
First ward-J. 7. Smoot.
Second ward-J. f. Boone.
Third wards. 81. Oheatham.
Fourth wari-C. P. Read.
Fifth ward-Dr. T. M. Hume.
1t Is yet difficult to summarize the
complete vote in Roanoke. Craig and
Montgomery counties on account of the
mesger reports that have been received
from the back precincts. The tele-
grams received by THE TIMES are the
only basis upon which the vote can be
reckoned, and as yet the full returns
are not at hand
Montgomery county vote, outside of
Radford. was very close, but according
to kilograms received by The TIMES
from reliable source the county will
give Democratic majority of 800. A
dispatch received by THE TIMES late
yesterday afternoon showed that as far
as heard from Craig county had given
261 majority for the Democratic ticket.
The following liable will show the
correct and approximate majorities of
this district, Roanoke city and county
and Craig and Montgomery counties, as
far as returns now received show:
DEMOCRATIC DISTRICT MAJoRITIEs
The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1893-11-09
DISTRICT MAJoRIrIEs.

The Populists receive majority of
10 in Red Hill precinct ana AZ in Cave
Spring, and Garst majority Of 1 over
Logan, for whom the highest vote was
cast in Ballahack, and a majority of s
over Thomas vote.
While the vote in this city and pre-
sumable in the outlying counties shows
big falling off from that cast last year
in the Presidential elections. the Demo.
cratic majorities maintain relatively
about the same proportions. O'Ferrall's
majority amounts to 619 in the city in a
total vote of 8, las for governor In the
election last year in a total vote of
1850 Clevelands majority was 945 over
that of Harrison.
The percentage of the majority to the
total vote is in each case being prac
tically the same 1913. 1t is shown by
this that the proportion of Democrats
remains the same as last year and
shows conclusively that the Populist
party was made up almost exclusively
of the Republicans who last year voted
for Harrison. The vote given Messrs.
Watts and Logan will show an increase
in percentage over that given the gu ber-
material candidate.

From the evidence adduced it appears
that last April Mr.. Stafford moved into

time Weaver was employed to DO some
work about the premises. The pocket
book containing the money was stolen
from bureau drawer, and suspicion
pointed towards Weaver SO the guilty
party. 1t was also proved that ne had

Nearly $4,000.
Fifty Counties Give Upwards of $4,000
Msjority-Fifty More to be Heard
From-Ten Counties Only Have Been
Carried by the Populists-A Big DEM
ooratic Majority From the Cities.

RICHMOND, Nov. S.-Returns thus far
OF the election held in this State yester.
day have all been reported by ma
jorities, and therefore it is impossible
to tell even approximately the number
OF votes cast. Two things are certain,
however; one is, that the Democrats did
not poll their usual strength, and the
other is that the Republicans did not
support the Populists by a large ma.
jority.
Official and un. official returns indicate
that the Democrats have carried twenty.
three senatorial districts, the Populists
one, and one district is still in doubt.
The Democrats have fifteen members of
the senate who hold over.
or the members elected to the house
OF delegates the Democrats will prob.
ably have 80 out Of the 100 elected. In
dications lead to the belief that the
Dem ocratic majority in the State ticket
will reach 50,O0O
The result Of the election contained
some surprises. The Democratic ma
Jority was most signal one yet, there
appears to have been large decrease
In the vote. Again it was believed in
many sections the negroes would vote
solidly with the Populists. The result
proves the contrary. Indeed in many
counties the negroes in small numbers
supported the Democratic ticket.
The following sum OF the vote has
just been made up at State Democratic
headquarters:
Fifty counties give Democratic ma
]ority OF 28,704; seventeen cities give
a Democratic majority of 1881 There
are fifty counties and the city OF Bristol
to be heard from. The following are be-
lieved 10 be the only counties in the
State that have gone for the Populists:
New Kent, Campbell, Caroline, Prince
George, Greensville, Powhattan. Prince
Edward, Sussex, Tazewell and Floyd.

NEW YoRK's CHANGE OF FRONT.

Maynard Defeated by an Overwhelming
Plurality.
NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-The tidal wave
which swept this State was larger than
even Republicans dreamed. AS the re-
turns have come in the vote has in
creased until now it shows a Republi-
can victory OF $3.50 for John Palmer
for secretary of State, and Bartlett h as
defeated Maynard by the overwhelming
plurality of $4,000. The Republicans
elect their entire State ticket by good
majorities.
Corrected returns indicate that the
Republicans will have good working
majorities in both houses. The senate
will probably stand as follows: Re.
publioans, 10; Democrats, 10; Indepen-
dent Democrat, 1. The assembly: Re-
publicans, rs; Democrats, SO.
