CALIFORNIA.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 5.-California joined fast in the Mckinley landslide and it's majority for the Republican standard bearer will reach 5000 at least Many counties have not yet sent in re- turns, but the more populous and those on which the fate of elections hinged have all been heard from, and swell the Republican majority to a point where nothing to come later can possibly dis turb them.
 Great interest is centered on the con. gressional ticket. Outside of this city only one Democratic representative seems to have been chosen.
 The legislature may safely be chased as Republican, thus securing the return of a Republican to the United States senate.
 SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 5.-Returns from many places in California. The Democrats claim the state by 18,Ooo and probably has placed it in the Bryan col umn, slthouph the Republicans have not yet given it up.
 Returns are too meager to say how the congressman stand.

 THE MAJORITY.
MoKinley's Electoral Vote Is
 Placed Now at 22o.

Tie Ohioan Has Yet Decidedly the
 Better Show.
SEVERAL STATES YET DOUBTFUL.

Indiana, Kentucky, California, Kansas,
 North Carolina, Oregon, North Dakota
 and Delaware Are Doubtful, but Enough
 Lean Toward Mckinley to Give Him
 the Benefit of the Doubt
 CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-It is reasonably certain that Mckinley and Hobart have been elected, but the majority is likely to be, from indications at 10 yester- day morning, narrow one, much narrower one than has been looked for as the result of earlier dispatches The following electoral votes are conceded to Mckinley
 Connecticut, 6 Illinois, 24 Iowa, l8 i; Maine. G. Maryland, g. Massachusetts, l5 Michigan, IA; Minnesota, g New Hampshire, 4 New Jersey, 10; New York, 86; Ohio 93; Pennsylvania, 82 i; Rhode Island, i; Vermont, 4 !; Wiscon- sin, 19. Total, 92O.
 The probabilities point with great cer- tainty to Delaware with its votes and Indiana with it's 15 as Republican and as furnishing more than the 994 requis- ite to constitute majority in the eleo- toral college The votes of North Da- kota apparently belong to Mckinley and the same may be said of the votes of Oregon and IS of Kentucky, but in 
 all these cases returns are too inadequate to justify . definite conclusion.
 The following votes are conceded to Bryan:
 Alabama, 12; Arkansas, 8; Colorado, 1; Florida, 4; Georgia, IS; Idaho, 5 j; Louisiana. s Mississippi, 6; Missouri, IT.; Montana, 3 Nevada, 3; South Carolina. g. Tennessee, 12; Texas, 15 i; Utah. 3 Virginia, 12 total, 155.
 Nothing but the most meager and scattering returns have been received from California with 9 electoral votes i; Kansas with 1o Wyoming, 3; and Washington, L So neither party can as yet claim these states. Nebraska with it's 8 votes is very close, with prob abilities strongly in favor of Bryan. North Carolina with its Il votes Is claimed by both sides, but has probably gone for Bryan, and so with South Da- kota and its i votes
 The situation, therefore, may be re- duced to this Certain for Mckinley, 22o; almost certain for Mckinley, IS; ]; indications for Mckinley, 25
 Certain for Bryan, 155; probably for Bryan, B doubtful. 26.
 From returns thus far received the next senate probably will stand as fol lows; Republicans, 49 Democratic 32 ]; Independents and Populists, II; doubt ful, 5. Total 9o On the currency ques- tion the senate undoubtedly will have an antisllver majority. The doubtful states are Delaware, Kansas, Kentucky, North Carolina and South Dakota. They need 45 votes with vice president, to control the senate. The Republican senators who bolted the St. Louis plat form are chased as independents.

Democratic Ma jority Will Fall Away
 Below Former Yoars.
 AUSTIN. Nov. 5.-The greatest inter- est was centered here on the state cleo ton. While the Democratic state tick ct will pull through with a good ma jortty, ranging from 10000 to 5000, the Democrats are surprised at the heavy vote polled against Bryan and Culber- son. Democrats here say gold Demo- orats, Republicans and Populists by their combination made them hustle, but after all, they claim a grand victory, and that 1t took combination of three to even scare them.
 Bryan and sewall will carry the state by 10000 to so, 1000, although indications are that Mckinley has carried some of the larger towns, though complete re- turns may change this supposition.
 None of the Australian ballot cities had sent in complete returns up to 12 o'clock to-day. In these Mckinley and Kearby are expected toshow their great est strength.
 On account of the length of the ticket and the great distance from any tele. graph office of some places a correct es- timato cannot be made for at least three days.
 Nearby has run ahead of his ticket in nearly all of the returns now in.
 It is impossible yet to even tell how the legislature stands, but better satis- faction can be given concerning the congressional delegation
 h the First congressional district Ball will win over Eagle.
 Cooper will win in the Second dis triet over Oalhoun and Claiborne.
 De Gra8enreid has carried the Third over Farmer by a good vote.
 It is q close race in the Fourth be- tween J. " Canford and J. H. Davis.

DELAWARE.

WILMINGTON, Nov. 5.-R etu,ns from this city and all over the state are very slow. Those received from a few pre- cinots in this city show slight Republic an losses, but it is believed, however. that the Republicans have the presi- aential electors by at least 10eo majer- ity.
 Iunnell, Democrat, is probably elect ca governor and Handy, free silver oox . gressman, is also probably elected.
 Both factions claim the state.

Peculiar Occupation Of Some Residents OF

Not far from great centers Of

of West Virginia as primitive almost
as aborigines. Though but a few miles
back from the railroad they live and
die without ever seeing it or caring
for what gees on in the busy world.
Their wants are simple and they are
easily supplied They seldom see
money and seldom have any use for
IT, taking what they produce to the
stores. where they trade it for coffee.

miles from Terra Alta. w. Va. They
have lived there all their lives. and
are known far and wide as snake
hunters. The elder woman is now so

the younger woman has killed almost
as many snakes as her brother. She
is - years old. and he is several years

prowess in killing serpents, and seems
proud To claim relationship with her
She has never seen q train of ears. but
Cy went To Wheeling during the war

They confine their efforts to killing
rattlers. and do not look for other

cabin are alive with the poisonous rep
tiles and as many as 200 or 800 are Of
ten found in a single den. From early
May until frost the snakes are found
summing themselves near crevices in the
rocks, and are easily dispatched by
means of a long club with knot at
the end.
The snakes are cut open and the fat
extracted to be cooked down. The oil
thus obtained is regarded as valuable
for its medicinal properties. 1t is
particularly recommended for rheu-
matism and deafness The rattles are
also saved and occasionally market
is found for them, large ones being in
demand among curiosity seekers. Cy
says that he is able to make SIS to $40
year from killing snakes. and this.
together with the profits from raising
buckwheat and gathering wild honey.
as Well as killing game in the winter,
enables him to live in comparative
ease and comfort.

was unable to understand a reference
