The Democrats have carried New Jer-

Both parties claim Kentucky.
No reliable news yet from Utah.
Owing to the unusual conditions pre-
vailing in number of the States and
the uncertainty regarding the outcome
intense interest existed at the capitol in
the results of the elections. Particularly
was this the case with respect to the
elections in New York, Kentucky, Mary
land, New Jersey and Ohio and the re-
turns from these States were awaited
with the greatest interest. Great crowds
gathered in front of the newspaper
offices tonight and remained until the
returns showed definite results at the
storm centres. Others more fortunate
visited the various social and political
clubs where special arrangements had
been made for obtaining the latest in
formation.
President Cleveland did not make his
appearance at the White House at all to-
day, but remained at his country home
at Woodley. Private Secretary Thurber
was on hand at the executive mansion,
however, during the day and evening,
and received the bulletins that came over
the special wire from the telegraph office.
These were read by such of the cabinet
officers az gathered during the evening,
and dispatches of special significance
were telephoned to the President at
Woodley. Three of the eight cabinet
officers, Messrs. Harmon, Lamont and
Carlisle, had gone to their respective
States to vote.

THE GREAT NORTHERN STRIKE.
1t May Become General Among the A.
X. II. Men.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Nov 5.-There
are some threatening aspects in the
Great Northern strike situation which
lead to the belief that a strike may
become general among the A r. u.
men on this system by tomorrow. The
discharge of engineer VIM. Best, the
hero of the Hinckley fire, at West Su-
perior is very distastefu1 to the men,.
Best was President of the A. r. U. at
that point and member of the COM
mittee. 1t is charged that he was dis
charged for these reasons.
A Devils Lake, N. D., special to the
Journal, says: The strike went into ef--
feet at 2 o'clock this morning No trains
are running
The Strike Only Partial.
SPOKANE, Wyoming, Nov. 5.-The
strike on the Great Northern is only par
tial at this place. The south bound pas
senger train went through on time, and
the officials claim that all trains are NOV
ing on regular time. AT the car shops.
at Hilliard, part of the employees went

pull through in Fayette county and Lex

ton, Democratic nominee for the Senate,
had no opposition outside of the State
ticket. 1t is believed that J. B. Simrall
Democrat, won over Thomas Foreman,
by 500. The woman's ticket for woman's
Board of Education, on which are four
ladies, has probably beaten the Demo
cratic ticket, composed of men by 800.
Immense Republican Gain.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov 5.-Four years
ago this, Jefferson county, gave Dem
ocratic majority for governor of 5,171.
Returns up to o'clock from one third
of the precincts in the city and county
give Bradley 1900 majority.
There is a dearth of news at the head
qaarters of the Democrats and Republi-
cans. Reports are so meagre that Chair
man Norman would say nothing more
than he believed Hardin was elected
He would not say by what majority nor
why he was so impressed. At the Re-
publican headquarters things are about
the same.
Republicans Gain i'm Louisville.
FRANKFORT, KY, Nov. 5.-Republi-
cans elected school trustees by 80 or 300
majority. The city will probably give
Bradley 800 majority.
The full vote in the State is close.
Several wards in Louisville city show
Republican gains.
Hardin gets the Party Vote.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 5.--On both
sides the leaders are claiming the victory
in this city, the Democrats by small
majority and the Republicans by ma
iority ranging up TO 5000. 1t seems
that the citizens ticket did not cut much
of figure as the old parties will get in
by nearly the average vote.
The anti election claim that Hardin
would be scratched because of his atti-
tude on the money question, has failed to
materialize. Scattering returns show
that Hardin will get the party vote.
But Bradley Leads Hardin.
LUIsvTLLE, KY, Nov. 5--The Post
Democratic in its extra issue dated II
o'clock, says:
At this writing the returns are coming
in scattering from all parts of the State.
1t appears that Hardin leads the Demo
cratic ticket, but it also appears that
Bradley leads Hardin, or, if not, Hardin's
majority is so small, as to amount to a
virtual defeat. Outside of Louisville
Bradley carries the city of Jefferson by
$40.
A Small Majority For Hardin.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 5.-Returns up
to midnight from 95 counties and towns,
mostly incomplete give Hardin 32,155,
Bradley 2S, $780, Hardin's majority g.
619. Other returns received give Brad
ley majority aggregating 1896, leav-
ing net majority of 1928 for Hardin.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. IAN irrepres-

the North Meridian street public
school and the colored pupils of
school two blocks away. The boys,
range in age from ten to Is years.
For several weeks the whites have
used University Park, midway be

a play ground, and the colored pu-
pills, according to the story of the
whites, swooped down and stole,
their marbles and balls, and when
ever opposed resorted to corporal
punishment. Yesterday a sturdy
young lad, Matthew McCutcheon,
headed a revolt against this treat

fully three score whites and blacks

The estimate of the cotton crop
made by Latham, Alexander & Co.
places the crop at 6,435,00 bales, and
was based upon estimates given in
1852 letters received from reliable
correspondents, banks, bankers, cot
ton commission merchants, brokers
proprietors of public gins, railroad
officials and planters, covering every
cotton growing county in the south
In commenting upon the crop con
ditions, the letter Of Latham, Alex
ander & Co., says:
"In addition to the injury the CROP
had previously suffered, the excessive
heat during the latter part of August
and month of September caused the
plant to mature prematurely, to sheo
its fruit, dry up and lose the tor
crop.
By reason of the long continued
dry weather picking is farther ad
vanced than ever before known-in
some sections already entirely over
and the crop has been marketed with
unusual rapidity. Few correspond
ents report any disposition on the
part of planters to hold back theil
cotton"

has also been made by the correction
OF an error in footing.
Returns are now incomplete from
all but few counties, while two
counties, Jackson and Casey, have
never been heard from at all. AS it
stands, with all returns revised and
corrected to date and verified as far
as possible, Mr.. Bradley's plurality is
$3.50. This is subject to change by
the official count and the vote of the
missing counties. Casey county gives
ordinarily Republican majority OF
about 200, and jackson can give one
of 700 if it tries"
The question of majority is one
that is regarded with much interest
in Hopkinsville. A number of bets
were laid 5 to that Bradley would
not be elected by 10000 majority,
One Of the largest was between g.,
ell-known ice man, and young
salesman in clothing store. For,
several days the majority had been
regarded as far above the limit, and
some of the papers put it as high as
$4,000. When the Courier-Journal
came in with the above correction, in
terest was again revived and the Of
fetal figures will be awaited with
much anxiety. The Post puts the
majority at 10000, which still further
complexities the matter. In addition
