AT THE BULLETIN SHEETS.

Ready Jokes Met Every Announcement
Made by the Wires.
Before the bulletin sheets had told half the
story the Democrats must have gone home
en- masse, for the cheering that went up from
time to time was almost entirely for the
winning party. When the first bulletin
went up saying that Hill conceded the cleo
ton of Morton, a voice sang out: cover the
Hill to the poorhouse," and the joke went
down the line in tempest of cheers. whats
the matter with the coachman now;'' "Who
said the tariff was tax?" followed the dis
patch stating that Wilson had probably been
defeated.
Another dispatch came along presently
stating that only three Congressman had been
elected in New York City.
''Then where, oh where, is Amos Cum
mings?"
'Floundering in the coldest kind of soup"
was the prompt answer.
"Gov. Waite. of Colorado, Is buried out Of
sight" said the wires.
'Upto the saddle-bags in the mud" said a
man with recent history on his brain.
And so 1t went.
The closing scenes of the night were made
up OF professions of cadets singing i'm proyised
topical songs. Glee clubs, banjo clubs, the
high school. the business school, the
central school, and all manner os organized
and disorganized jewellers. All Of these fur
nished amusement to themselves and the
public until the pub lie went to bed tumult-
ously at various times this morning.

SOUTH CAROLINA.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. 6.-Happily the
election in South Carolina passed of very
quietly. and with one little fracas at Lamars
no trouble was reported. The regular Dsmo-
cratic machinery now in the hands of the re-
formers has swept things its own way. but its
anticipated majority was cut down. Chair
man Irby has now come down in his esti-
mated majority for Evans for Governor. DR..
Pope. who is making an Independent race
for Governor, is receiving numerous and re-
peated kilograms OF fraud.
Some OF it is reported to have been most
fragrant. The reports are that trickery has
been used by the reform machinery in Oar.
lington, Florence, Clarendon, Greenville,
Winnsboro, and Aiken. 1t is likely that
contest of some kind will be made. Nothing
more than the election of Evans, even if
forced. was expected. The figures will no
doubt show a majority OF 20 900 for Evans.
DR.. Pope insists that he has been elected
Chairman Irby says tina, Sumter, Charleston,
Beaufort Georgetown and Richland will be
the only counties electing members of the
legislature aEtagouisuc 10 the candidacy of
Gov Tilman 10 the Senate. Horny aud
Berkely be classes as doubtful. The consti-
tutional convention question. which has been
a leading issue, is still in doubt. Chairman
Irby declines to make any estimates on it to-
night. If it is carried, il will be by close
margin.
Chairman Irby says that the returns in the
Congressional races are very meager, and not
sufficient TO make any definite statements,
but he has every reason TO expect that seven
Democratic Congressman will be elected.
The vote for Elliott in Charleston has given
him a fine start, and will possibly insure his
election. The only chance for his defeat is
for very large vote in the colored districts.
CHABLEsToN, S. c., Nov. 6.-Pretty full
returns Of the State election have been re-
ceived and indicate the election OF all seven
Democratic Congressman and the regular
Democratic State ticket headed by John
Gary Evans for Governor. who defeats Samp-
son, Populist and Independent, his only op-
ponent. The returns for the legislature in
dicate safe majority fer Tiliman for the
United States Senate. The call for the con-
stitutional convention is apparently defeated
by a small majority. The election was quiet
throughout the State. Sampson claims that
there were most Hagrant frauds throughout
the State and evidence appears to sustain the
claim,

FLORIDA.

JACKSONVILLE, Nov. 6.-Election day in
Florida was fair and pleasant throughout the
entire State. An extremely light vote was
cast. Probably about half OF that cast at the
State election in October. The only offices
to be filed were those of two Congressman.
In the first district the vote is generally heav-
ier than in the Second. Parkman, the Demo-
cratic nominee, will probably be elected over
Mackinaw, Populist, by about 10000 major
ity. In the Second district Cooper, Demo-
crat, will probably defeat Atkinson. Popullst,
by about 5000. It not likely that the Pop
ulists will carry more than four counties in
the State, and the vote is close in these. The
entire Populist vote in the State will not be
likely TO reach 1000. Duvsl county (Jack-
soEyille) gives Cooper a majority Of 200.

New England Shut Off from Telegraphic
Communication with the World.
NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-The Western Union
and Postal Telegraph Companies have been
badly crippled by ths havoc caused to their
lines by the storm Of last night in thsEastern
States, particularly on the coast lines.
At o'clock this evening the Postal had one
wire working as far as Springfield, but they
did not expect to go any further East before
tomorrow. The difficulty 10 their way is the
prostration OF telegraph poles, and notwith-
standing that they have large force OF men
covering large amount OF ground, they can
make but little headWay.
The Western Unions are also down east of
New Haven.
HARTFORD, Conn, Nov. 6.-This city was
the center OF the storm last night. The streets
this morning present an appearance of devas-
tation never before equaled here. Almost
every telegraph and telephone pole Is down
and the streets are filed with wires Of all
sorts.
The storm struck this city about o'clock
last night, and within half an hour communi-
cation with the outside world was completely
shut off,
H. F. Ludwig, saloon-keeper, was killed
by an electric wire.

The Ancient Capital Threatened by thu
Japanese from Two Sides.
A short caplegram received by Secretary
Gresham to-day from United States Minister
DENLY, at Pekin, chronicles another important
forward movement by the japanese. Il
reads:
japanese have taken Foo Chow, in thu
Gulf of Liastuno. approaching shan-Kians
Kuan- Two campaigns, against Moukden
and Tien Tsin. DENBT."
All OF this means, according to the interpre<
tation arrived at by the State Department
officials. that the japanese have seized thg
important strategic port at Kin Chow, neal
Newchang, and on the railroad Leading IN
one direction towards Tien Tsin. and IN thu
other toward the Manchurian capital, Mouk-
den.
The latter Is thus threatened from twa
sides as the Japanese forces which have
crossed the Yalu River from Korea are ads
vaneing rapidly from the southeast upon this
doomed capital, and, according to Minister
Denby's eablegram. another torcs will start
northward from Kin Chow TO join them. Tha
distance from Kin Chow to Tien Tsin Is only
about 200 miles and the roads are the best ia
China Tien Tsin is well fortified but should
IL fall the way to Pekin, the Chinese capital,
would be open to the invaders.
Neither the Chinese nor Japanese legations
have any official adYiees Of the Japanese VIC
tories cabled by Minister DENLY, nor Of tha
reported efforts of China to secure peace.
The tendency at both legations is to doubt
that any peace Oysrtures have been or can bs
made at the present juncture. 1t Is believed
that the Japanese Intend 20 occupy MoukGen,
Win, Port Arthur, and Tien Tsin, thus COM
pleting a strategic position which viii COM
mand peace on the terms they desire or, In
the absence OF peace, will permit the Japans
ese to go into winter quarters and rest thu
campaign until spring.

Three gentlemen, however, remained all

The news inside was indeed very bad from
this particular headquarters standpoint.
Every fresh telegram indicated that Morton
was gaining on bill and that in the end the
latter would be out of sight under the ava
lanche OF ballots. The situation was. how
ever, taken philosophically They even took
1t with due sense of the humor OF the situa-
ton. Nothing was conceded up to per-
haps O'Clock, when returns enough were in
to figure on the political complexion of the
next House.

WISCONSIN.

MILWAUKEE,, Nov. 6.-Returns from the in
terror of the State show Republican gains
lican State ticket will be elected by majority
Of from $4,000 to 10000. The average Re-
publican gain in precincts thus far received
is 81 and it is steadily increasing. Chairman
Wall, Of the Democratic central State COM
mittee. conceded the election OF Upham and
the entire Republican State ticket. Chairman
Thom, of the Republican State central COM
mIttee, claims the Stats by 10000 and Henry
G. PAYNE concuIs with his estimate.
In Milwaukee city and county the Populist
vote shows a heavy gain while the Demo
cratic vote shows a corresponding loss. Chair
man Thom. of the Republican State commit
tee, figures a majority Ia both houses of the
legislature.

est Republican majority ever achieved in this
State. In 1892 Pennsylvania gave Harrison
63.747 plurality, and Hastings gain over this
vote is 14s, ,917. Complete returns will un-
doubtelly swell Hastings plurality above
240 900, as many Of the correspondents were
very conservative in their estimates. Not
one county in the State showed Democratic
gain.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Nov. 7.--At midnight the
returns indicate that Allegheny county has
given Republican majority of 10000, Pitts
burg giving 1900 OF this.
In the Twonty-fourth district, e. r. Ache
son. Rep, has defeated w. A. Sipe, Dem, by
$500.
Advices from Erie show that Congressman
Slbley also has been defeated by good-sized
majority. The indications at this hour are
that every Congressman ia Western Penn
sylvanta elected to-day is Republican.

MASSACHUSETTS.

SPRINGFIELD, Nov. 6.-From the returns
received TO II o'clock the indications are that
Massachusetts, has given Greenhalge, Repub-
lican, for Governor, a majority of $4,000, a
gain OF 10 900 over last year, and that the
lower house of the legislature will easily have
a Republican majority. Massachusetts is
likely to have solid Republican delegation
in Congress.
BosToN. Nov. e.-The story of the Massa-
ehusetts election can be briefly told. Gov.
Greenhalge is reelected by a majority Of
more than G0,000.
According to the latest returns twelve of the
thirteen Congressman are Republicans. The
State legislature is Republican in both
branches.

MINNESOTA.

ST. PAUL, Nov. 6.-There has been great
falling of in the Democratic vote and a gain
by both the Republicans and Populists, the
latter gaining the most. However. the Re-
publicans would still win even If they only
held their own. so long as the other parties
did not entirely join together.
1t therefore seems likely that Coy. Nelson,
Republican, is reelected by an increase over
his plurality OF Il 900 two years ago. The la
Dor vote has chiefly gone 10 the Populists,
and that party has held most. II not ali, o: It's

lican, over Garvin. Democrat, in the Second
