or three companies of militia? Answer
quick. JAMES HURT, Sheriff.
When the governor had eaten his din
ner and returned to the state house which
was about 2:20 p. m. he held long con-
ference with Secretary of State Osborn
and then wired the following reply to
the sheriff of Greeley county:
James Hurt. Sheriff, Horace. Kansas:
Telegram asking for troops to arrest
500 men who have stolen Missouri Pa
cific train received. Was train stolen in
Kansas? Have any depredations been
committed in your county? Have war
rants been issued and process been re-
sisted? Are the men still in your
county, L. ID. LEwELLING,
Governor.
While Governor LeweIling was con-
sidering what reply to make to Sheriff
Hurts dispatch, Secretary of State Os-
born made the suggestion that he did
not see how Governor Lewelling could
have the men arrested without a requisi-
tion from the governor of Colorado. the
men having committed no depredations
in Kansas.
Governor Lewelling thought it rather
strange that the telegram he received
should be on a Missouri Pacific telegraph
blank instead of'on the regular Western
Union paper and it also lacked the usual
sending and receiving marks.

KANSAS.
Republicans Gain Five congressmcn and
Elect State Ticket.

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. Complete re-
turns have not yet been received, but from
the counties so far as heard from, steady
Republican gains are the rule. Conservs-
tive estimates, allowing liberal leeway for
Populist ma jorities in the country districts,
give the state to the Republicans by Il plu-
rality over the Populists of 20, 700.
There appears no doubt that the Repub-
licans carried six of the seven congre ssional
districts with chances greatly in favor of
their winning the remaining one. This
gives them seven congressman including
one from the state at large, a gain of five,
with probability of gain of six.
Carefully revised legislative estimates of
the counties heard from, with returns al
ready received at the Republican headquar
ters, show 81 Republican members elected
out of 1876, the remaining 80 being divided
between the Democrats and Populists.
Populists and Democrats have % hold-over
senators and the Republicans l5. This
gives the Republicans majority of 80 on
Joint ballot.
Chairman Breidenthal of the Peoples
party state committee comedies the election
of the entire Republican state ticket and
Elk of the eight Congressman. He comedies
that the Republicans heve elected a major
ity of the Legislature, which will elect a
senator.

to 10000 Plurality.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 7.-Itis conceded
that Evans, (Rsp.), has carried the state for
Governor. His friends claim - 900 plural
ity. The Democratic state committee con-
cede the election of Evans as Governor by
5000 to 10000.
Returns from yesterdays election are
coming in slowly. The Democratic execu-
tive committee claim the reelection of Gov.
Turner by about 5000 plurality. The
Republicans claim Evans is elected but
concede that his majority will be small.
An official count will be necessary
to determine the result. Snodgrsss, Dem
ocratic nominee for Congress in the Sd
district, is defeated by Brown, Rep, by at
least 1000 ms ority. Returns from the Sth
district indicate the reelection of Enloe,
but this estimate may be changed by the
official count. The Legislature is Demo-
cratic.
Returns from Tennessee indicate that
Henry Clay Evans, Republican, is elected
Governor over Peter Turney. Dem, the
present incumbent. The Republicans car
ried the 4th, 9Th, 9th, 1th and 10th con-
gressional districts. The Republicans car
ried the lst ID and Sd districts. One dis
trict, the Sth, is still in doubt, Enloe.
Dem, leading Mccall, Rep by small
majority, with the indications favorable to
Mccall. The Democrats will have q safe
majority in the Legislature and a Demo
cratic United States senator is assured.
The Republicans claim Evans will have a
plurality of about 5000.

Cleveland looms up, today, in the part.
who can lead with any show of success:
He is stronger, today, than ever, and the
malcontents must come to him. 1 do no
believe he wants the nomination in 1896

NORTH CAROLINA.
The Fusiontsts Claim All Congressman and
State Ticket from Democrats.

RALEIGH, N. c., Nov. 1.-Returns of the
election come III slowly. 1t is the belief
that the actual result will not really be
known until the official canvass, tomorrow.
Fusionists claim the Democrats loss all the
congressman. The Fusion state ticket is
certainly elected. The Democrats are
enable to say pretty positively that they
have elected Shaw, Dem, in the Sd dis
trict, and Lockhart, Dem in the 9th.
They appear to concede the election of
Settle, Rep, in the 9Th and declare the out
look is good for the election of Woodward +,
DEM, in the I'd. They acknowledge that
all other districts are doubtful. The state
and Legislature tickets appear very close.
The state judicial ticket is so close that it
will re quire an official vote to deciie; the
Legislature is in doubt. and Populist and
Republican leaders are very confident. In
dcations are that the Fusion ticket has de-
feated Democratic congressional candi-
iates in the lst, 4th, 7th, Sth and 9th dis
tricts making the congressional delegation
stand three Democrats, two Republicans,
four Populists. The Democrats are still
claiming the 7th Sth and 9th districts.

G0RMAN SURPRISED.
Great Republican Gains in MaryIand-Loses
His Own Precinct.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 7.-One of the pecuss
liar things about the election in this state,
yesterday, is the fact that the Democratic
counties which have secured the largest
share of the federal offices have gone Re-
publican.
Carroll county, which has the collector of
customs, the best Office in this state, a
special deputy collector and a large num-
Der of minor offices, went Republican for
the first time in over 20 years.
Hartford county, which has the collector
of internal revenue and more minor places
than any other county in the state in spite
of the usual large Democratic majority,
went Republican. Senator Gibson's county,
Talbot, which has Is men in good federal
offices, went Republican.
Other counties with large numbers of
offices to their credit went Republican or
showed a large falling off in the Demo-
cratic vote. 1t is noticeable that the pre-
cinct in Howard county in which Senator
German resides and votes, gives Republi-
can majority for the first time in a quarter
of century.

Porl Arlhnr and Chinese Fleet Will Probably
be Easy Prey.

LONDON, Nov. "A dispatch to the Pail
Mall Gazette from Che Foo says that the
Japanese land and sea forces have made a
simultaneous and vigorous attack on Port
Arthur. The Chinese fleet is inside the
harbor.
The correspondent of the Central News
at Shanghai says that rumors are persis-
tently circulated there that the ri Yang
squadron in Port Arthur harbor. If these
rumors are founded ON fact, it must be that
the fleet went there under orders received
direct from Pekin, as Ii Hung Chang would
never have allowed the squadron to be
caught in such rat trap.
The Chinese report the Japanese rapidly
advancing in the rear of Port Arthur and
that strong Japanese fleet, including so
torpedo boats, is outside the harbor. II is
expected that Port Arthur and the Chinese
H. eet will fall into the hands Of the enemy.
