THE NEXT SENATE.
1t VIII stand Republicans, ~; Democrats,
SO; Populists, IL.

WASHINGTON, Nov. THE next SEN
atr it is believed will stand Republicans,
A; Democrats, 33 Populists and hide.
pendent, 10. This table takes all states
out of the doubtful column, placing
Kentucky and North Carolina in the
Republican column, as Senator Butler
said yesterday that a free silver Repub-
lican would probably be returned by the
fusionists; Delaware in the Democratic
column and Kansas and South Dakota
in the Independent and POpulist col
umn. This will prevent the Repub.
licans from taking control Of the senate
unless some of those who bolted the Re.
publican platform at st. Louis should
return.
1t is difficult to es timate the exact
standing of the next senate on the
money question, owing to the new
alignment Of parties i'll the recent cam
paign. Men who have been pronounced
silver men have been supporting the
Republican platform and candidates
and pronounced gold men have sup
ported the Democratic platform and
candidates. Perkins of California, VOL
colt of Colorado, Shoup of Idaho, Carter
of Montana, Mitchell of Oregon, Will
son of Washington and Clark and War
rem Of Wyoming have all voted for and
supported silver legislation and what
course they will now take in the senate
is altogether prOblematical. Among
the Democrats, German of Maryland,
Smith of New Jersey, Murphy, of New
York, Faulkner of West Virginia and
Mitchell of Wisconsin all have voted
against silver and yet supported the
Democratic party in this campaign.
AS no free coinage bill possibly could
pass the house this fact would influence
voting Oh the silver question, especially
in the shape of a rider to a tariff bill.
The probability is that on free coinage
amendment to tariff bill, all of the "A
Republicans would vote against it and
possibly some Democrats, as Caffery of
Louisiana, Gray of Delaware and Lind
say of Kentucky, who bolted the Chi
cago platform, and perhaps even some
of those who supported Bryan during
the campaign.
1t is also not unlikely that some of
the Republican senators who bolted the
Republican platform might take Il posi-
ton which would permit a tariff bill III
which their constituents are largely in
terested, because of wool, lumber and
lead ores, to become law.
Senator Faulkner, Democrat of West
Virginia, said yesterday that the silver
men, by standing solidly with the DEM
ocrats, could prevent tariff legislation.
Senator Butler, ON the other hand, said
that he and others Of the Populists
would support the right kind of "a tariff
bill, but not a measure like the McKin-
ley bill. Mr.. Butler wants adequate
protection on raw materials.

RESULT IN KENTUCKY
1t Will Take Official Figures to
Decide 1t.
CLAIMED BY BOTH PARTIES

There VIII he a Scramble For United
States Senator From That state-Mc-
Kinley Has Undoubtedly Carried Indi-
ana Official Figures From Ohio - Latest
From the Other Doubtful States.
LOUISVILLE, Nov. 7.-Lesie county
and the missing precincts Of Perry
county were heard from at late hour
last night. The changes rendered by
these returns have brought the Republi-
can claims down to $40, while the
Democrats have increased their claims
to 1000 Official figures will undoubt-
edly be required to decide whether Ken
lucky was carried by Mckinley or
Bryan.
1t is very likely that w. B. Smith
who headed the Bryan electoral ticket
has been elected.
Chairman Roberts of the Republican
state central committee issued the fol
lowing bulletin last night: "Official
returns from 100 counties and reliable
unofficial reports from the other 10
counties show that Mckinley has car
ried Kentucky by between 400 and 800
plurality. The official returns on the
counties yet to be heard from will not
materially change these figures"
AS soon as the result of the election in
Kentucky is definitely known there will
probably commence some likely scram-
bling for the honor of being Republican
United States senator from this state
The Republican party originally had IS
members five were lost by death and re-
signation. This loss was more than
made up by the gain of seven members,
last Tuesday. This makes the party
have 20 votes on joint ballot and enables
them to elected United States senator
by one vote if they solidly support the
Republican nominee.
Governor Bradley and DIR. Hunter are
the leading Republican aspirants in the
race. There is, however, considerable
talk among prominent Republicans and
gold standard Democrats of electing
Secretary of the Treasury John G. Car
Isle to the senate in recognition of the
firm stand on the financial question by
Secretary Carlisle and the gold standard
Democrats.

MKINLEYs MESSAGE TO HANNA.
The President Elect Grateful For the
Services Rendered.

Services Rendered.
CANTON, o., Nov. president elect
Mckinley has sent the following mes
sage to Mr.. Mark Hanna at New York
Hon. NJ. A. Hanna, Waldorf hotel, New
York:
Your Geographic message announcing
| the result of the election has been re-
ceived I beg you to accept my hearty
thanks for your great services in the cause
of sound money and protection throughout
the campaign now closed and gloriously
won. They were most generous and eff
fective, and will receive the warm appro-
baton of your countrymen everywhere.
will be pleased to have you convey to
your associates of the national committee
my high appreciation of their efficient
services. The people in their majesty,
| ignoring party lines, have declared their
detestation of reputation and dishonor,
in whatever specious guise they may be
presented. They have with the same
mighty power affirmed their devotion to
law and order and their undertaking re-
spect for justice and the courts.
They have maintained their tnfaltering
determination to support and uphold the
constituted authorities Of the country and
have thereby given new vigor and
strength to our free institutions. They
have, indeed, again consecrated them
selves to country, and baptized the cher
ished ordinances of free government with
new and holy patriotism. The victory
is not to party or section, but of and for
the whole American people.
Not the least of the triumphs of the
election is the obliteration of sectional
lines In the republic. We have demon
strated to the world that we are re-
united people in purpose as in name. We
have manifested in the great cause the
spirit of fraternity and brotherhood that
should always characterize our common
and equal citizenship. and have proven
conclusively that in country of equal
privileges and equal opportunity the in
sidious doctrine Of hate or of class or Sec
tional distinctions can not prevail.
Let u.s. as Americans, straightway de-
vote ourselves to the upbuilding Of Amer
lea; to the peace, honor and glory of our
common country. Party dissensions
should no longer divide or rack the public
mind; nor the zeal or temper OF either
side deter any citizen from patriotic de-
votion to the good of all.

GENERAL LEE AT THE WHITE HOUSE
Conference with the President, but De.
tails Not Made Public.

conference WIN tne lTestuent, DuU De'
tails Not Made Public.
WASHINGTON, Nov. All of the
members of the cabinet, except Secre-
tary Francis, who has not yet returned
to Washington, were present at yester.
days cabinet meeting, and it is believed
that the subjects to be treated in the
presidents message were touched upon.
United States Consul General Lee
called at the state department shortly
after II o'clock, and word of his arrival
being conveyed to Secretary Olney at
the White House, the latter left the
cabinet meeting and came at once to
the department. He received General
Lee in his Office and long interview
followed
At the conclusion of his conference
with Secretary Olney General Lee went
to luncheon with Assistant Secretary
Rockhill who is directly responsible for
the conduct of the consular business,
and so was interested i'll what the con-
sui general had to say of conditions in
Cuba.
In the afternoon the consul general
went over to the White House and paid
his respects to the president. His call
there was not long, so it is supposed he
will see the president again before he
returns to his post, to discuss Cuban
affairs more in detail.
From what can be cleaned of the talk
General Lee has had with his superior
officer, he appears he left matters in
Cuba very quiet by comparison with
what has gone before. Confined closely
as he was to Havana, he was obliged to
rely upon the same official reports as
were telegraphed to the United States
for news Of what was going on in the
field so that his views of the military
situation were rather narrow. OF
course he was better prepared to dis
cuss the economic aspect of the Cuban
question and after all this is likely to
figure as largely as any other factor in
the consideration of our future rela-
tons.
General Lee is absolutely uncommu-
NEGATIVE as to what passed between the
president and himself beyond the fact
that there was free and full talk re-
garding affairs ON the island. in which
the chief executive manifested a great
deal of interest Concerning the future
action of the administration respecting
change of policy on the part of the
United States toward the insurgents,
General Lee automatically shields him
self from answering questions.
He expects to leave Washington for
his home i'll Staunton, Va, as soon as
possible. He does not indicate clearly
the length of his stay here, but leaves
no doubt of his intention to return to
his post within a reasonable period Of
time.
The climate certainly has not proved
injurious to the consul general, and it is
plain he is in better health than when
he left the United States to relieve Con-
sui General Williams at Havana.

now coming in rapidly, do not change
the unofficial figures materially. Nc

William T. Zenor, in the Third; Will
liam S. Holman, in the Fourth, and

Four Steel Canal Boats Ride Out the Lake
Erie storm.

CLEVELAND, Nov. THE four steel
canal boats which broke away from
their tugs off Dunkirk in the terrible
storm Of Thursday night, and which it
was feared had been lost with eight
men, have been found riding safely at
anchor six miles off Dunkirk.
A telegram from General Manager
Wheeler of the line, received late yes
terday afternoon at the office Of the
Cleveland Steel Canalboat company
states that the boats with their cargoes
rode out the storm without being dam
aged in the least. The men ON the boats
put in an exceedingly rough night, but
are none the worse for their experience.

Kansas.

TOPEKA, Nov. 7. - The Republicans
have finally given up Kansas, not only
conceding the election of Bryan electors
by about 5000, but giving up the whole
state ticket, headed by Leedy, Populist
for governor, by something near 1000
The Populists also gain the legislature
and five and probably six Of the eight
congressman. The Second COMPRESSION
al district is in doubt and claimed by
both parties. Accurate returns must
come from the state board.

HIS JOURNEY TOWARDS THE
LAND OF THE RISING Sun.
He ATTENDED RELIGIOUS SERVICES
But the Congregation Knew Him Not

Big Time at Canton o.

Chicago. Aug. 9.-ThousiNds of en-
thusiastic free silver democrats called at
the Clifton House to see w. j. Bryan
and his wife today. They came with
their wives and babes and children; but
it was late in the afternoon before their
desires were satisfied.
In the first place, Mr. and Mrs. Bryan
slept until the middle of the forenoon.
They were weary and worn from their
fotiSucs and the hot weather of yester-
day. Then they wanted to be prepared
for the excitement of tomorrow. When
they had breakfasted they took cnrrl-
age and went alone to church: Ihey
drove to the Presbyterian church at
Enclewood and listened to an orthodox
Vernon preached by the Rev. Or. John
)lark-Hill. The divine did not KNOW
hat the democratic nominee ana ms
rife were coming and two-thirds OF the
congregation went home after the ser
Jices in utter ignorance of the fact that
The house of worship had been bonored
Jy their presence. No reference was
made to the political issues of the day
by the preacher in his. sermon, nor ana
he in his prayers mention the candidate
or his cause.
One reason why Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan
attended services ut the EngleWoo,m
church was because che Rev. DIR. Hill
has accepted call to act as pastor over
the First Presbyterian church ut LIN
coin, of which Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan are
both members. They wanted to hear
their new pastor.
Mr.. Hill is now pastor of the Presby-
tcrian church at Austin, and he preached
mt Englewood as a supply" during the
absence of the regular pastor.
There were thousands of eager demo-
Gratis calling at the Clifton House to see
their national leader. But they were
disappointed. After 'eturning to the
hotel Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan took dinner
and then took an after-dinner nap,
which lasted until near 6 o'clock in the
evening. After that they went to the
parlors and held an informal reception
The throng then began TO pour III. The
democratic nominee and his wife were
kept busy shaking hands, kissing babies

departure.
PENNSYLVANIA for the east. They Will
arrive at Pittsburg tomorrow night. AS
yet they have made no definite plans as
to what route they will take from there
to New York. The train will stop at
all stations between here and Pittsburg
and at every point Mr.. Bryan will give
the citizens chance 20 hear him talk
or shake him by the hand. 1t is under
stood there will be a grand demonstra-
ton at Canton, Ohio, Maj. McKinley's
home, where the train will arrive about
l p. m.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan are looking
in the best of health and seem 10 enjoy
the tour immensely.

SENSATIONAL DISCLOSURES
Made Before the Interstate Commerce
Commission Yesterday.

Chicago, Aug. THE expected eXplo-
sion before the interstate commerce COM
mission took place this morning and the
top was blown off the railroad pool, I'M
covering an unlawful combine. The pros
ecution is now confident the investigation
will end in the imposition of some large
sized fines against most of the western
roads. There has been a strong pressure
under the surface of the present week $
investigations Yesterday, when A. b..
Sticllney, president of the Chicago and
Northwestern road. took the stand he
created mild sensation by the disclos-
ure of the methods of his company in
outwitting the others in handling grain.
This morning the cross-eXamination of
Stickney was up to expectations. He
charged his fellow railroad men of incit-
ing the present investigation to catch
him in wel-laid trap on the Chicago
rate cutting. He turned the tables on
his opponents and charged them with as
sailing him because he refused to pool
his trade with them. He was asked to
give the names of the roads. Mr.. Stick
ney moved uneasily. He crossed his legs
and then uncrossed them, and slowly re-
piled: 81 am here to tell everything that
| have DONE. There is Il form to be fol-
lowed, and if this is followed | have
nothing to do but obey. But let me con-
suit my attorney.
Il say at a 11-cent rate the corn will
move promptly. We are moving it, but
that is because we have to go out and
buy it."
Mr.. Stickney was then permitted to
leave the stand. The railroad men had
got the worst of the inquiry, and did not
care to push Stickney any further. As
one of them remarked: "rhe old man is
loaded, and you can't tell who he is 60
ing TO hurt"
