AT BRYAN'S HOME.

Lincoln Neb. Nov. 1.-The scene at the Bryan residence tonight was much the same as it was last evening. Mir Bryan, who left the house only once during the day, and then to attend the funeral of a neighbor, did not remain us stairs as he did last night, but came down into the library to receive the returns. Some of the bulletins that came in were of re- assuring character and the democratic candidate plainly showed by his manner that he felt more encouraged. A num- Der of friends who had held aloof yester- day and today dropped In and chatted pleasantly with him. Mrs. Bryan also helped entertain visitors. Like her hus- band. she seemed in good spirits. Many of the telephone messages from friends and supporters concerning the result were answered by Mr. Bryan personally. He talked very conserVatively, indicating in his replies to these inquiries that official counts in some states might be necessary to determine the result.
 Fictitious bulletins were read to large crowd of Bryanites in the business part of Lincoln today, giving the election to the democratic candidate. They caused much excitement and aparade with Bry- ans picture at the head was organized. It marched for few blocks, those com- posing it cheering like mad.
 Mr. Bryan went to bed shortly before 10 o'clock. He said he would have no statement to make tonight.

 House of Representatives

New York, Nov. 4.-Returns received today and tonight by the United Associ- ated Presses reduce the doubtful states to two-California and North Dakota Washington, Wyoming and Kansas and Nebraska, of the states which were in doubt last night, are transferred to the Bryan column, and Delaware, Oregon, South Dakota, Indiana and Kentucky are placed In the Mckinley column. The vote in Kentucky is close, but advices in dicate that the state is republican by a small plurality. Delaware and Oregon are also close states, but are apparently carried by Mckinley.
 The latest news from California and North Dakota is that in the western dis triets so far counted Mckinley leads, but the margin of votes is so small that both states should still be classed as doubt full. The latest returns indicate the cleo toral vote of the states will be cast as follows. Electoral vote by states:

Notwithstanding the two preceding
