 In 1t.
 m the elections of the 9th the demo- erats were unable to hold their own even Tn the southern states. Tennes- see Is close. Texas drops her majority 'o small figures, and perhaps loses one congressman to the republicans and one 10 the populists. Louisiana sur renders nothing to the sugar bolt. kentucky drops congressman in the ashland district. where w. C. F. brecklnridge is now the representa- tive, and probably two others.
 Elsewhere the returns were an al. most unbroken story of republican gains.
 Pennsylvania's majority of o1a 900 ia not as bad as New York's of over 1Oo.- ooo, ohio's still greater figures and Mlchigan's of at least 60,OOO. Indiana gives republican majority of 30. 900.
 Many of the democratic leaders in the house are defeated or in jeopardy. Wilson, of West Virginia. has ap- parently gone down. William NJ. Springer, of Illinois. is another of the fallen.
 Missouri has not more than held her own. Bartholdt and Joy are elected to congress in St. Louis over CoppinVer and Espenschied. The Missouri state ticket is democratic, but the party has nothing which calls for a rooster. St. Louis democrats managed to elect three members of the general city ticket.
 The republicans will organize the next national house. and may have the senate. From plurality of over 90, the democrats have shrunll to mnori- ty of l5G to 19s. The populists are clear outside. having no balance of power and only seven members.
 The populists have done nothing to speak of for themselves. They gained something in Texas and Nebraska. but lost in Kansas and Colorado. Waite and Lewelling are beaten.
 With all allowances, however. for what may happen, it is clear that it was republican day.
 careful canvass of the returns that have come to hand show that the re- publicans will have 192 members in the Fifty-fourth congress.
 The democrats. on the basis of the same returns will have 156 members, while the populists are credited with :.
 This aversion to democrats asserted itself most strongly in New York, where gain of fourteen congressman was made, the delegation now stand ing thirty-one republicans to three democrats. Brooklyn got in on the ground floor of the deal and elected five republicans to congress.
 The feature of the contest in New York city was the number of adverse ballots that dropped in Congressman Amos Cummings district
 Next to New York comes Ohio and Illinois close second.
 Michigan has a solid republican dele gation, and in Pennsylvania the re- publicans claim all but six members.

Several days ago Rev. Dr. Mackay Smith, rec tor of St. Johns Episcopal church. of iered to place that edifice at the dis posal of the Russian minister, but the offer was declined.
 frince Cantacuzene said yesterday m explanation that it was desired to hoid the services on Russian ground. Tor that reason the legation is the ohiy fitting place, and they will be held there in conformity with the original programme.

Last evening he started Cor Paris to seek interviews with NJ. Hanotaux, minister of foreign affairs, and President Casimir-Perier.r
 Neither the foreign office, the ad- m;ralty, the Chinese legation nor the Japanese legation has heard anything to confirm the published report of the bonbardment and capture of Talegn- Wan and Kabuyono. The Central News suggests that the report has the same imaginary basis as the story of Port Arthur's fall.
 Anxious for Intervention.
 LONDON, Nov. 6.-The News ex presses again its approval of Lord Rosebery's effort for joint inter- yenance, and speaks respectfully of the reluctance of the powers te see the matter in the same light.
 "No European government" it says, "can desire to see this disastrous con- fict prolonged. Even the United States, despite the Monroe doctrine, must be concerned for the regularity and security of their trade with Japan. Sooner or later-and better sooner than later-there must be an interna- tional settlement. It will be difficult to contend that interference will be premature now.

The Trip from Livadia to St. Petersburg - Gold and Silver Crowns for tho Funeral.


 ST. PETERSBURG. Nov 5.--The Prince end Princess of Wales will accompany the imperial party on the way to St. Petersburg. It is likely that the body will be taken to Sebastopol in- stead of Odessa, and there be trans ferred to the Moscow train. Moscow will be reached probably on the llth and St. Petersburg on the 18th. The imperial family will accompany it from the beginning to the end of the journey. The intention of exposing the body in Livadia Sunday was aban- doned because the process of embalm- ing 1t had not been finished. It is said to have been necessary to summon more embalmers from Moscow and charkof. When ready, the body will oe placed in the chapel at Livadia.
 There are rumors of a police order to close the vodka shops in towns along the route of the funeral train, and its enforcement is said to have caused trouble in several districts. The truth of these rumors cannot be sscertained.
 The goldsmiths of St. Petersburg and MOSCOW are receiving innumerable or aers for gold and silver memorial crowns and crosses. Gen.
