Washington November 1.-THE elections
of Tuesday last do not affect the present
membership of the United States Senate.
Mr.. Brice of Ohio, Mr.. Gibson of Mary
land, and Mr.. Blackburn Kentucky, all
will remain in the Senate until March 4,
1897, so that they will participate in the
two full sessions of the Congress which
begins on the first Monday of next
December. The Indirect effect of the
election, it is expected, will be to deprive
the movement for an immediate reorgani-
zation of the Senate of much of it's force.
The Republicans could only secure con-
troll of that body by making concessions
to the free silver advocates, Stewart and
Jones of Nevada, and the Populist PETER
of Kansas Now that two Republican
Senators from Utah are assured. there is
a growing disposition to wait until the
Senate can be organized by the Republi
cans themselves without entangling
alliance.
Omaha, Neb., November 7.-Later re-
turns only emphasize and increase the
figures of the Republican triumph in the
state. city and county. The Populist
party in this city seems to have gone TO
pieces, leasing over half of its vote in a
year. Norval, Republican, for judge OF
the Supreme court, has been elected by a
plurality over Maxwell, Populist, which
may reach $4,000. The Populists lost IN
almost every county and even the Demo I
crats made no better showing; The
plurality of Captain W. j.. Broatoh, 81 a1'on,

he departed. He was heard OF months

Redeemed clothes, pair of shoes, an

collar stained with blood, end cut as if
from stab given the wearer under
the left ear, long trail ofblood along
the cliff. With these grim reminders
were found papers showing Pierce's
identity with the owner of the bloody
articles. Near the scene of murder
was hole in the ice caused by an in
flowing spring. The inference was
that the body had been cast out from
shore, distance OF fifteen feet, SO as
to fall through the hole into the Mis-
sissippi. But the thin ice between the
shore and the open space was unbrok-

Of uneaGness, which became more pro-
