WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.-No expressions
of opinion on the elections yesterday are
to be had from members of the admin
istration. The president staid out ct
Woodley, presumably to work on his
message. Secretary Herbert was at the
department but short time this morn
ing and Secretary Gresham declined to
express an opinion. The prominent
Democratic leaders at the capital are
peculiarly reluctant to assign particu-
lar cause for the Republican landslide
and the Democratic defeat.
Chairman Sayres, ,of the appropriations
committee, seemed cheerful and said
with laugh: "The principal reason
seems to be that we did not get enough
Votes. There may have been some other
particular and incidental reasons, but
we did not get enough votes and that is
all there is to say about it. The COM
mittee on appropriations did not cause
it. anyhow. We can prove an alibi."
Chairman Wilson, OF the ways and
means committee, said: ~ am mighty
glad it came now instead OF later in the
administration. The election in Vir-
ginia shows that the Popuist uprising
has not gained headway. As soon as
Democratic measures can be taken to
restore the prosperity of the country
everything will be all right again."
Ex-senator Malone of Virginia said
he regarded the reswlt as an acknpwl-
edgment on the part of the people that
they made a mistake in putting Cleve-
l. -, lo Wh;kn
Congressman Ben Gable Of Illinois
said: "As to the general causes, busi-
ness depression is perhaps the most

ley once more into popular view as a

Representative Burrows of Michigan
said: The general result indicated
that the lsboring people OF the country
are undoubtedly opposed to free trade
as advocated by the Democratic party.
In Ohio the issue was squarely on tariff,
and the enormous victory shows how
strong public sentiment is on that sub
ject."
Representative McMillin of Tennes-
see said: mo one well posted on the
subject looked for Democratic victory
in Ohio, Massachusetts and Iowa. The
result is not due to tariff agitation, for

tariff would be-"

All the Political Prophets Made Wrong

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.-The results OF
the elections are q surprise to all parties
here; in fact they do not accord with
the predications OF either Democrats,
Republicans or Populists. The election
of O'Ferrsll in Virginia, where the
Democrats were terrorized by the Popu.
lists claims, ia only small comfort in
the face of the overwhelming slaughter
elsewhere. They expected defeat u
states where the free coinage element
was strong, but were not prepared to be
showed under in "sound money" states
like Massachusetts and New York.
All the prominent Democratic leaders
ascribe the result to two causes-t the
dissatisfaction of the farmers over the
financial situation and the apathy of
disappointed office seekers The defeat
in Iowa is regretted not 80 much on ac.
count OF ineuring the election OF Re-
publican United States senator as in the
practical removal Governor Boies from
the list of eligible presidential timber.
The Populists are much disappointed
at their showing, but claim later returns

WASHINGTON. Nov. 8.-The action OF
Judge Morrow of San Francisco in tax
ing under advisement the telegram OF
Attorney General Olney directing him,
in view OF the amendments to the Geary
act, to release the Chinese held for de-
portation under the original act, is
somewhat of a surprise to the officials
OF the department of Justice. The only
reason they give for the judges action
is desire on his part to await the re-
ceipt Of a copy of the amended act be
fore passing upon the order aof the dis
trict attorney, to ascertain if it bears
out the Interpretation placed upon it
by the attorney general concerning the
release OF prisoners. Technically, they
cay. his action would be proper and reg
ular, though they fail TO see how any
other construction of the act can be ar
rived at. No communication. on the
subject has been received at the depart
ment from the district attorney. A

Days in Prison.
New York, Nov. s. = Francis H.
Weeks, the defaulter recently brought
back from Central America, was SEN
fenced today to 10 years. imprisonment
on his plea OF guilty.
District Attorney Nicoll explained to
the recorder that the prisoners case
had been removed for week. on FRI
day last, by Judge MARITIME, at Weeks
request, but Weeks was still under five
indictments and asked to be permitted
to plead guilty to one of these charging
him with the grand larceny of $52 300,
the property of Clemence s. B. Fish,
Mrs. Nicolas Fish (Which he held in
trust.)
"Do you 80 plead ?" asked Clerk Hall.
II do," replied Weeks in subdued
voice.
''Then 1 move the immediate sentence
of the prisoner" said Nicoll, whereupon
Recorder Smythe in a voice full of sad
ness aud solemnity pronounced the SEN
tence.
Weeks took his sentence, the heaviest
the law inflicts for his offense, without
flinching. He had no lawyer. He
turned and followed the sheritFs depu.
ties out of court with a firm tread.
They took him across the hall to the
office @of Colonel Townsend, where he
had long visit with his wife, after
which he was taken back to the Tombs.
Should it be decided that Weeks Sc
creted any OF the embezzled property,
be will be brought to account on three
ofthe other indictments and will surely
end his life in prison.

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.--Jas. P. Satch.

Flint & Co. of New York are procuring
men and engineers for the Brazilian SER
vice. He says: "Flint & Co. have

distinctly asserts that the department is
not authorized to take the initiative in
such case as this, even if the neutral.
ity laws are being violated; the resort
is to the courts.
The statement which has been pub
isned that men are being enlisted in
this country by representatives of the
brazilian government, to put down the
lnsurrection, is emphatically denied Ry
senior Mendonca. Brazilian minister.
Being questioned tonight by a repre-
sentative OF the Associated Press, Seiior
Mendonca said: IF the Brazilian gov

special officer for that purpose. To
enlist men otherwise would be against

has no power to enlist men.
The Brazilian government has no inten.

1t is certainly the intention to empIov
