Special Cable Despatch to THE Sun. .
LONDON, Nov. 4.-tnterest in the election
news from the United States has been ~greAtori In
England to-day than It was over the last homo
election. fifteen months ago. Londorers did not
sit up all night to get the returns, because tue
difference in time made that useless, but they
got mp early this morning. Nearly all the morn
ing papers issued q series of special editions,
which was an extraordinary display of enter
prise for London. Even the slow and dignined
Times printed several extras during the fore
noon, though tho fact OF McKinley's election
was known as early as 8 A. NJ.
One or two morning newspapers, and through
them a section of tho British public. were
swindled by an announcement sent out by a
taking news agency before midnight, or Z
o'clock last evening, New York time, to the
effect that MIR. Mckinley had received 900 cleo
toral votes and was elected. Otherwise the in
formation furnished by the press to-day has
boon honest.
The rejoicing over tho result Is general in
England and Europe. Even the bimetallists
Join in It, quoting the bimetnllist plank from the
st. Louis platform as expressing their genuine
sentiments.
a note OF discontentc comes only from Ger
many. Berlin dispatches indicate some regret
that America 10 not going to try o financial ex-
pertinent which Germany dares not try, and
suggests that the increased tariff which Me-
Kiuley's election threatens will injure tho Ger
maj trade more than the English.
1t was, of course. in the Stock Exchange that
the effect OF the Republican success was most
marked. The dealings during the frat two
hours wero not only chiefly confined to Ameri-
can securities, but prices were dictated from
New York. where spectators made use OF the
five hours difference in time to transact their
business IN this market before the Now York
Exchange opened.
English and all other securities improved In
sympathy. with the single exception of mining
securities, which were held IN check by diff
culties In Paris settlements.

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 4.-The Republican State

free-silver Congressman, and q free-ailver Leg

For the FIRST time in the history of Kansas
this takes all branches of the State Govern
ment from the Republicans. When Lewellyn

PARIS. Nov. There is general jubilation In

men are especially grateful. Mr.. Meredith

There were lively times at the Hoffman House
last night, due mainly to the presence OF silver
missionaries, who thronged the hotel lobby from
2 o'clock until after midnight. For the most
part the missionaries were windy young
men who made 1t their business to carry
from the Popocratio State headquarters in
the Hotel Bartholdi the substance Of things
hoped for, represented by kilograms which tho
National Popocratic Chairman. Jones. kept
sending on from Chicago. at tho rate of about
one q minute. As the dispatches were reported
by the missionaries. Jones babe the New York
Popocrats to keep up good courage, because
Bryan had surely been elected.
Jones acknowledged that tho official returns
had given tho election TO Mckinley, but, ac-
cordinE to the kilograms. no had private infor-
nation from several States that the votes Of
those States had gone to Bryan.
For instance, Jones claimed Indiana, Michi-
gan. Delaware. kentucky. North Dakota. Cali
fornia. and Oregon. besides all Of the States
conceded to Bryan. According to Jones's claims,
Bryan would have gag votes in the electoral
college.

Finally a well-known hotel man, once known
as the heaviest bettor on the American turf, ex-

bravo! Rravo!' cried a number of those
who had gathered to hear the discussion. Tho
man righted himself and said something about
not wanting to hit an old man, and then no
skunk out of the hotel.
The dispatches which Jones sent out yester-
day claiming Bryan's election led persons in
all parts of the country to sepd all sorts of telo-
grams OF inquiry to TIN Son relative TO the

WASHINGTON. Nov. 4.-Populist headquarters

followers of Mr.. Bryan were there and decline
to give up the fight A statement was Given
out to the effect that Mr.. Bryan had carried
every Southern State except West Virginia.
Maryland. and possibly Kentucky. but It was
thought the latter State would swing into line.
Bryan, It was said. had carried every State
west of the Missouri River except California,
Oregon, ana North Dakota, all OF whioh 1t was
claimed would probably go for him on later re-
turns. Indiana and Minnesota were In doubt.
and II they went for Bryan IL would elect him.
Silver men, 1t was claimed, would have over

ana II was absolutely certain that the silver
men would control the next Senate:
1t was further asserted that the Populists had
elected over twenty Congressman, nave. secured
Governors in probably three states. and certain
officials In two or three moro states.
At Democratic headquarters Senator Faux

was still hopeful that later returns would provo

If He Catches That Boy.

A man who was employed as 'sliv-
ing statue''to stand in front ofa Market
street store to advertise the place is
vengefully looking for a small boy
who lost him his job. For several
days the man posed in front OF the
store as a cavalier dressed in medie-
val costume, with a shining helmet on
his head, and drawn sword in his
hand. His business was to stand as
rigid as marble, impersonating a
statute as nearly as possible. Of
course, the novel spectacle drew
crowds. Yesterday morning a
mischievous urchin mounted dry
goods box on the edge of the crowd,
and, turning his grimacing ceunten-
ance in focus with the statutes gaze,
shouted: "Say, Gully! If yer smiles
yer loses yer job, see?" This was
hard enough to bear without smiling,
but when the boy completed his per-
formance by spreading five dirty fing-
ers in front of his nose, the statue
gave away completely, and broke in
to a very auditable laugh. He is out
of the job now, and spends his time
hunting for the boy who is ito blame
for it it.-Philadelphia Times.

Originally the steamer Idlewild was

who was interested in this section OF
the country saw an opening for a
steamboat business between this city
and St. Louis and he purchased a
boat, the old Idlewild. and put her in
the trade as a regular tri-weekly
Cape Girardeau and st. Louis packet.
She was advertised as a Cape Cir
arieau and ST. Louis packet and
Cape Girardeau was her terminus.
During the wheat season the boat
made frequent trips on down to Com
merce but it was not the intention of
the owner that Commerce was to be-
come her permanent terminus. After
the death of T. j. Moss a company
was organized and now Commerce has
become the regular terminus OF the
