MAJORITY 295,55O.
High Figures for Mckinley in Pennsyl.
vania Maintained.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 5.-Complete re-
turns from all but few of the 81 coun-
tias in Pennsylvania give Mckinley q
plurality of 205, $50.
1t is not believed that the official
count will show much variation from
these figures.
The Republicans will have an over.
whelming majority in both branches of
the state legislature, which next Janu-
ary will elect successor to United
States Senator j. Donald Cameron.
The body will be made up largely of
the friends of Senator Quay, and there
seems little doubt that he will name
the new senator. Philadelphia claims
the place, and it is believed State Sena.
tor Boies Penrose will receive the sup.
port of Senator Quay. Former Post
master General John Wanamaker, Gov.
ernOr Hastings and Peter A. b. Wide
ner are also seeking the place, but at
this time Penrose appears to be a win.
ner.
PTTTsBURG, Nov. 5.-The unofficial re.
turns from the county, with eight dis
tricts to hear from. give Mckinley q
plurality of 4S,709 over Bryan. The
unrepOrted districts will give the Re.
publicans about 400 to $50 for the Dem.
ocrats. 1t is figured that the scattering
votes will not figure up enough to put
McKinley's majority below $4,000.

serve the Day.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The president
has issued the following Thanksgiving
proclamation
"The people of the United States
should never be unmindful of the graft
tude they owe the God of nations for
His watchful care, which has shielded
them from dire disaster and pointed out
to them the way of peace and happi-
ness. Nor should they ever refuse to
acknowledge, with contrite hearts, their
proneness to turn away from God's S
teachings and to follow with sinful
pride after their own devices.
"To the end that these thoughts may
be quickened, it is fitting that on a day
especially appointed we should join to-
gether in approaching the throne of
grace with praise and supplication.
Therefore /, Grover Cleveland,
president of the United States, do here
by designate and set apart Thursdi 7,
the Goth day of the present month of \ y
.vember, to be kept and observed as q
day of thanksgiving and prayer
throughout our land.
"On that day let all our people forego
| their usual work and occupation, and,
assembled in their accustomed places
of worship, let them with one accord
render thanks to the Ruler of the Uni
verse for our preservation as q nation
and our deliverance from every threat
ened danger for the peace that has
dwelt within our boundaries for our
defense against disease and pestilence
during the year that has passed for the
plenteous rewards that have followed
the labors of our husbandmen, and for
all the other blessing that have been
vouchsafed to us,
"And let us, through the mediation
of Him who has taught us how to pray,
implOre the forgiveness of our sins and
q continuation of heavenly favor.
LET us not forget on this day Of
thanksgiving the poor and needy, and
by deeds of charity let our offerings OF
praise be made more acceptable in the
sight of the Lord.
"Witness my hand and the seal
the United States, which have caused
| to be hereto affixed.
"Done at the city of Washington this
4th day of November, in the year of ou1
Lord one thousand eight hundred and
ninety-siX and of the independence OF
the United States of America the one
hundred and twenty-first."

BRYAN MEN ENTHUSED.
Parades Over Claims of His Election IN
Different Numbers.

Different Numbers.
BALTIMORE, Nov. GA local Bry an
organization last night posted tele.
gram purporting to come from
United States Senator German, in
Washington, stating that Bryan had
229 electoral votes, and that he was
elected beyond doubt. In less than
half hour, Baltimore street, the princi-
pal avenue in the city, was crowded
with a mob of bowling, drunken men,
shouting for Bryan, and impeding the
progress of peaceable citizens, appar.
emily defiant of the police. They in.
sisted that this election was but a repe-
tition of that of 1876, and charged that
it was intended that Bryan should be
cheated out of his rights. Parades
were formed, and it was not until long
after midnight that the excitement was
allayed and the paraders were induced
to disperse.
CHICAYo, Nov. "a disorderly crowd
of 200 or 800 men last night marched
through the streets shouting that Bryan
was elected. They carried transpar-
ency upon which was inscribed "NC
'76 this year" Indiana, Iowa and
Kentucky is ours" and Bryan is
elected. In passing the newspaper
offices and banks they hooted and made
menacing demonstrations. Police de.
tachments were ordered out in readiness
for any disturbance of the peace.
CICINNATI, Nov. 5.-The streets were
wild here last night with thousands OF
shouting Democrats marching behind q
large banner on which was inscribed
in large letters, Bryan Elected. He

BRYAN is CALM.


LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. B.-Mr. Bryan
is comparatively early riser. He had
had his breakfast and was receiving
callers at 8 o'clock the day after the
election. He was cheerful and buoy.
ant, and clearly showed that he had
refreshing nights rest. Telegrams
began to arrive early in the day, and
while none of them made any positive
claims as to the great result, they were
of an encouraging character, giving the
Democratic candidate far more ground
for hope than did the public bulletins.
Dispatches from Kentucky made posi-
tive claim for him for that state on the
basis of big gains in the western section
while encouraging word was received
from Indiana and Michigan.
Mr.. Bryan commented upon these as
q disinterested observer might have
done, but made no general claims upon
them. He said he would have comment
to make until the result was absolutely
known. Among the dispatches received
were several from Senator Jones, ma.
tional chairman, all of which were re.
assuring. One admirer, apparently ac-
cepting the reports of defeat as authen-
tic, wired: congratulations ON your
magnificent fight. 1t was four years
from Bull Run TO Appomatox.
Mr.. Bryan has given out the follow
ing in reply TO numerous kilograms
from all parts of the country:
"The Democratic national committee
claims enouL states to give majority
in the electoral college, but the vote is
very close in several of the states, and
the result cannot be positively known
until the entire vote is counted. In all
close contests it is wise for both sides
to watch the returns to guard against
the possibility of mistake, intentional
or unintentional."
Mr.. Bryan dictated this statement to
typewriter, but when pressed for
something more for the press declined
to yield, saying that he could give nc
utterance to his opinion as to the result
or outline his intentions until the out
come should be definitely known. Ii

HOW sHRINkAeE is PRODUCED.
Wool Fiber Dissolved by Hot Water and
Acid.

Acid.
The explanation commonly given Of
this, which is as follows, is quite mad
equate: Wool has surface covered with
sawlike teeth all pointing, in each
hair, in one direction. This is what
gives it the important quality of felt
ing-i. e., Of being formed into COM
pact substance by interlocking of thou
sands and thousands of the teeth. In
The best woods these teeth are numbered
by thousands to the inch in each hair.
They cannot be seen except by the aid
of the microscope, but may be felt by
drawing lock of wool through the fin
gers from tip 10 root. The resistance is
then much greater than when the wool
is drawn from root to tip. The shrink
ing of wool in washing is generally at
tributed to the interlocking Of thess
teeth. But shrinking is found to take
place when wool is wetted, even when
there is no pressure which would cause
the teeth to catch against each other.
"a woolen fabric exposed to warmth
and moisture shrinks in every direction
in O manner which interlocking does
not explain" A better explanation is
suggested by the fact that "the intro
duction of acid into the water in which
the fabric is dipped greatly quickens the
process and increases its extent. This
fact aud the increase of shrinkage caused
by the addition of neat makes it appear
probable that the wool fiber is partially
dissolved, especially that part which
contains the original cells still retaining
their contents. Tine walls Of these cells
bursting through the heat, ETC., and
their contents being discharged, shrink
age naturally take place.

How the vultures Were Fooled.

Some sports recently took place al
a station in Upper Burma, one OF
the events being what is popularity
known as n Victoria Cross race
that is, the competitors have to ride
some distance, taking two or three
hurdles on their way, to a point
where there are arranged u number
of figures in stuffed cases shaped like
human bodies. They then dismount,
fire round of blank cartridges, pick
up dummy each and raco back.
In this case after the sports were
over the dummies were left on tho
ground, and in about half an hour
after the ground was deserted / no.
ticed vulture settled on the ground
close to the dummies. In about an
other five minutes more than 80 had
collected.
The birds seemed much puzzled as
they carefully inspected each lay
figure, walking from one to tho next
all along the limo and eventually,
after sitting in q circle for q short
time, few away.
Tho birds must have discovered
the dummies by sight, though
have often heard that vultures rely
on their sense of smell as well.-

Plot Discovered to Hand the City Over
To tho Insurgents.

discovery has caused great uneasiness in

is much more widely disseminated than
has been admitted. Thirty persons
