majority, with Yerkes leading the demo-
cratic candidates for superior judge.
Philadelphia, Nov. s, IL p. m.-But few
returns have been received at this hour
Still enough is known to show that the
entire republican ticket has been elected.
Both parties were exceedingly apathetic
during the campaign and the result was
apparent in the light vote cast on both
sides. The republicans elect a judge of
the court of common pleas, district at
torney, recorder of deeds, city comptroll-
er, coroner and clerk of the court of quar-
ter sessions On the state ticket the re-
turns indicate that Philadelphia will give

IOWA,

Des Moines, Nov. 6.-Reports from va
rious parts of the state indicate a very
large vote. The polls closed al 6 p. m.
and at p. m. but few returns were re-

Gratis. The house will be seventy-four re-
publicans and twenty-three democrats.

Gratis, 33; republican majority, "a.
Iowa returns come in slowly, as the
polls generally remain open till O'Clock.
reports from the state indicate a gener-
ally light vote. Scattering reports, how
ever, show that through the state the re-
publicans have gained and the democrats
lost despite the falling off in the total
vote. The populists will, from indica-
tlons now at hand, double their vote of
$4,000 year ago. Last year the head of
the republican ticket carried the state bY
10000. These figures will about be
equaled by Drake, republican, for govern
or. The republican state committee
claim $4,000 as the lowest plurality. Ac-
curate estimates are impossible now
Two hundred and five precincts in Iowa
give Drake, republican, 24905; Babb,
democrat, 1913, a net republican gain of
1896.
The republican state committee state
that If the present ratio of gains contin-
ue Drake has $4,000 to $4,000 plurality
:. twenty precincts in Iowa give Drake
2Ol6 and Babb 1924 In 1893 these pre-
encts gave the republicans 1856 and the
democrats 1926, net republican gain of
552 ~.
Thirty-five precincts in Iowa give
25OO. This is net republican gain of SS7
over 1898.

Disturbances IN MARYLAND.

Baltimore Nov. 5-The heaviest vote
ever case in Baltimore was polled today.
1t was the most exciting day Baltimore
has had since the war. Violence and dis
order were the features throughout. The
police commissionerssand Police Marshal
Frey in one particular instance, admitted
their helplessness and encouraged an ap-
peal, which was subsequently made to Mr..
Henry Williams, the democratic candi-
date for mayor, to interfere in suppress
ing the disturbances. Mr.. Williams
readily responded by saying that he
would not accept the office If he were
elected by fraud and he at once set out
to influence the gubernatorial candidate,
DR.. Hurst in the same direction. Their
combined efforts had a salutary effect.
The disturbances, however, called forth
a protest against the slipshod methods of
the police department, Hon. George L.
Wellington, chairman of the republican
state central committee, calling atten-
tion of Marshal Frey to the police derilec-
ton. Mr.. Wellington in a letter to Mar
shall Frey said:
"If you do not perform your duty will
make it known to the people of this city
and state and put you in the pillary of
public opinion for having assisted the
criminal element in preventing fair cleo
ton"
Notwithstanding the stringent orders of
Marshal Frey, most of the saloons of the
city were wide open and a good deal of
drunkenness characterized the day. Sew
eral arrests were made, an occasional
shot was fired, ballot boxes smashed and
registration books torn to bits. The day
closed, however, without political death
record.

celebrated In st. Thomas church in the
presence of 1900 invited guests. The we'd
ding, without doubt, Will surpaSs in elab-
Grafton of the details any previous we'd
ding ever solemnized in this city. The
rank in England of the young BRIDE
groom and the great wealth of the brides
family have caused their nuptials to at
tract vast deal of attention. 1t is con-
sequently expected that a great crowd
of curious persons will be attracted to the
scene of the ceremony, and every possible
precaution has been taken to prevent any
disorder, such as marked the wedding Of
the Earl of Craven and Miss Bradley
Martin. large force Of police will be on

HE FOUGHT THE PUGS
And Now His Resignation Is Requested-A
Dallas Minister'S Luck,

Dallas, Tex, Nov. 5.-Rev. C. I. Scho-
field last night rendered his resignation
as pastor of the First Congregational
church, he having accepted the charge
of the church at Northfield, Mass. This
appointment carries with 1t the position
of leader in young mems training class
of ninety persons and also the biblical
instruction of 500 students in the Moody
school at Northfield.
To large extent Rev. Mr.. Schofeld's
sudden resignation Is identified with the
suppression of prize fighting in Dallas.
He was the most active member of the
Dallas pastors association, which so en-
ergetically made war on the Corbett-
Fitzsimmons and other matches sched-
uled at Dallas. His attitude was not by
any means satisfactory to the more con-
servative members of his congregation
from among the business men of Dallas,
and a change of pastorates is one of the
SeQuenceS.

Campbell in the Scum.

Columbus. o., Nov. Sat midnight
Chairman Kurtz of the republican state
committee sent kilograms to Gen. Asa
Bushnell, candidate for governor; Cen
eral Jones of Youngstown, candidate for
lieutenant-governor. and to Ex-Governor
Foraker stating that the whole republi-
can state ticket was elected by pluralities
bordering close around 100000, and con-
graduating them. He also at the same
time gave out a statement that the legis-
lature elected today would stand as fol-
lows: Senate.27 republicans, 10 demo-
Gratis; house, 76 republicans, SO demo-
Gratis. Republican majority on joint bal
lot fifty-seyen. These figures are prob
ably not far from correct, though they
may be slightly reduced by later returns.
Governor Mckinley was asked by the
United Press correspondent what in his
opinion had caused the large republican
majorities. He replied that the same
thing that caused the results in the last
two state elections-the inability of the
democratic congress to legislate for the
good of the country. He said he was not
at all surprised at the result I'M this state.
AS the correspondent was interviewing
the governor a glee club was outside of
his office window singing a song that
nominated him for the presidency, and
great crowds were waiting to offer their
congratulations upon the result.

KANSAS.

Topeka, Nov 5-There was light vote
polled today. Little interest was taken in
the contest for chief justice. David Mar
tin, republican, was generally considered
a sure winner, but the returns from the
few precincts heard from indicate that
the vote for Charles K. Holiday, inde-
pendent free silver will be much larger
than was anticipated, the populists gen.
orally voting for him.
Martins majority may be reduced to
1000. In this county Holiday will cut
down the usual republican majority by
more than 10000, but he does not expect
to do as well elsewhere. Out of eight
district judges the republicans will elect
five and the populists and democrats
three, being a loss of two to the republi-
cans. Returns are coming in slowly.

OHIO.


Cincinnati. Nov. 5.-Twenty-seven pre-
cincts outside of Cincinnati give Bush
nell. republican, 1904; Campbell, demo-
crat, 1927. Same in 1892. Mckinley, re-
publican, 3187; Neal, democrat, 2S58
Columbus. No ;. 5.-Though the returns
from Ohio are meager at hits hour, $3.50
p. m, only 100 precincts being reported,
1t Is evident that the republicans have
carried Ohio by, a plurality equalling that
of Mckinley two years ago. That was
slightly over $4,000. These precincts
show net republican gain of one vote
per precinct over that vote. AS there
are 1852 precincts in the state these fig
ures indicate that Bushnell's. republi-
can, plurality will be about $4,000.
Though no reports are received yet as
to the legislature, 1t is altogether likely
that the republicans will have a larger
majority on joint ballot than they have
in the present one.
Cincinnati, Nov. 5.-The Blaine club
estimates BuShnelPs majority in Hamil-
ton county at 1900.
One hundred and twenty-seven pre-
cincts outside of Cincinnati give Bush

crat, 14,75S. Same in 1898 gave McKin-
ley II $40; Neal, 14.795.

in 1898: Mckinley 25,SO1 Neal 1927.

in 1898 gave Mckinley S0,S33; Neal, 81, 1888.
Columbus, O., Nov. s5.-As later and
more reliable returns come in from Ohio
the plurality given the state republican
ticket seems to increase. AT this hour,
10 D. m Governor Mckinley says the
plurality for General Bushnell. republi-
can candidate for governor, will reach
100, 900. He has sent a telegram to Cen
eral Bushnell congratulating him upon
his magnificent election as governor of

trict indicate, the election of Ex-State
Senator Handley, republican, to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Edward
Remain last summer. Mr.. Handley's op-
ponent, Ex-Congressman Edward Lane,
failed to carry any of the six counties in
the district The contest attracted a
great deal of attention by reason of the
fact that the free silver, represented by
Mr.. Lane, was pitted against sound
money.
ST. Louis, Nov. 5.-A special to the
Chronicle shows light gains for Harley
republican, for congress in the Eigh-
teenth Illinois district over Lane, demo-
,crat. The district is close.

New Jerseys Republican Governor.

New York, Nov. 5.-The returns in
New Jersey indicate sweeping victory
for the republicans in nearly every dis
trict, even in portions which have been
for years strongholds of democracy.
Jonn w. Griggs, the repuolican candi-
surprisingly large plurality, probably by
about $1,000. Five of the seven new state
senators are republicans, and in the as
sembly the democrats have lost much
ground. While New Jersey has had a
republican assembly more than once of
late Griggs, the first successful republi-
can gubernatorial candidate in many
years, and his election is regarded as an
important index of the national ballot
next year.

ballot in the general assembly.

Armenians Not to Blame.

London. Nov. 5.-The Times will tomor-
row publish a dispatch from its Con-
stantinople correspondent saying that
the diplomatic and private versions of the
troubles in Diarbekir widely differ from
the official accounts. Nobody knowing
the country would for moment believe
that the Armenians attacked the
Mosques. One embassy learns that the
Kurds were unprovoked aggressors. The
massacre began on Friday and continued
Saturday with unstable and sangulnary
ferocity.
The correspondent further says he be-
lieves that all the powers are preparing
to cooperate.

Gorman's Waterloo.

Baltimore, Nov. 5-Senator German has
met his Waterloo. AT midnight the indi-
cations point to a complete republican
victory in Maryland. Lloyd Lowndes is
undoubtedly elected governor and the
balance of the republican state ticket has
an apparent majority of over 10000. The
legislature will be republican on joint
ballot, thereby ensuring a republican sue
cessor to United States Senator Gibson.
In Baltimore city the returns indicate
a complete overthrow for the German
Raisin ring. Hooper, republican, for
mayor has an apparent majority of more
than 5000. The republicans have also a
majority of the city council and clerks
of the court

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 5.-The city cleo
tions here today passed off quietly. The
weather was perfect, but light vote was
polled. H. S. Pringree, the republican
nominee for mayor, carried the city by
5000 majority, over Samuel Goldwater,
democrat. The entire republican ticket
is elected. A majority of sixteen alder
men are republican.

COLORADO.

Denver, Col, Nov. 5.-The elections in
Colorado were for county offices. A
light vote was cast in many counties. due
to a snow storm, lasting most of the
day In the three leading counties, Ara
pahoe, Ell Paso and Pueblo, the republi-
can party seems to be defeated. In Den
yer the interest in the election was in
tense and the fusion ticket will probably
win. Armstrong for sheriff is certainly
elected over Webb, the republican candi-
date. The women voted about as gener-
afly as the men.

MISSISSIPPI.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 5.-The election is
a very tame affair, there being no excite

in this city, where the city wears a Sun
day aspect. The weather is May-like
and fine, so that the probability is a full
vote will be polled everywhere. If Il is
the democratic majority in the state will
not fall far short of $4,000. No disturb
ances are reported anywhere.
