KENTUCKY.

Louisville, November 4-Returns
from the state received up to l o'clock
indicate that Kentucky will give Nc
kinley majority of from 10000 to 1900,
Reports are claiming it by $4,000. while
Chairman Somedsm, of the Democratic
comittee, says all the returns show
Democratic gains. All returns from
Eastern and Central Kentucky are ia
vorable to the Republicans. The Dem
ocrats have probably carried but three
congressional districts. Breckinridge's
election is probable. At Republican
headquarters 5SS precincts have been
heard from and show a Republican
gain of 6O7s over Bradley's vote in
1895. The counties to hear from are
largely Republican.
New York. November S.-The New
York Herald says Mckinley win carry
Kentucky by $4,000, with a Republican
majority in the house, and that Breck-
inridge is elected.
Lexington. November Slater re-
turns from the state indicate that Nc
Kinley viii carry Kentucky by much
greater majority than Bradley carried
it in 1895 for governor. The state will
probably give Mckinley $4,000 or $4,000
The result is a great surprise to the
free silver leaders and the size of the
result is a surprise to the sound money
men.

Omaha, November Sat midnight
returns from Nebraska precincts are
stin very meagre, but indicate that Nc
Kinley has carried Nebraska. Not on
ly does the count seem to be retarded
by SLOW counting, but the total vote is
much heavier than two years ago, when
100000 votes were cast in the guberna-
torial election. Nearly every precinct
heard from shows gains for both Nc
Kinley and Bryan over 1894. So close
is the contest that almost complete re-
turns from all counties would have to
be had before a reliable statement of
the approximate majority could be
given. The closeness of the vote on
president indicates that the vote on the
state ticket will also be close, as well
as the close contests for congress in
three or four Of the districts. Three out
of the six congressional districts appear
to be safe for the Republican candi-
dates, with the probabilities that five, If
not all six, will so Republican. Omaha

Mr.. Bryan received the election re-
turns at his home over a special wire.
He remained during the evening in his
private room in the second story of his
house, leaving the first story to news
paper correspondents. He told them If
he had any communications to make
TO them he would notify them. He
spent the AFTERNOON sleeping and was
very little disturbed by callers.
Precinct A of the Fifth ward in this
city, Bryan's precinct, gives Bryan 1O2

gain for Bryan. His friends claim the
county for him.

over the vote Of 1894. The gains about
offset one another, however In the
larger towns of the state Mckinley
leads Bryan and in the smaller villages
Bryan slightly leads, On the theory
that Bryan viii carry the farmer vote,
the present situation favors him, since
no returns OF Importance have yet been
received. Those rural districts which
have reported, however. do not bear
out the idea that farmers are voting
for Bryan. Ten rural precincts have
reported a showing Of about the same
ratio which is obtained in small towns.
This means that Mckinley viii carry
Nebraska by small vote. though the
silver men do not concede this.

1t was said 'onsthe street yester-
day morning that the Bowie Hose
Company went to the Burke fire
Friday night without being proper
ly equipped with a nozzle to fight
fire. We went to Mr. Bob Miller,
who was the acting foreman as well
as driver, and asked him if the
rumor was true. He SAID it was
not. That he carried a nozzle and
had a stream of water on the fire
as quickly as he could get it. That
he returned to the city hall station
for another nozzle, to put on an ad-
ditional stream of water, and the
report, he supposed, grew out of
this fact The boys saved the
whole block with the exception of
the Burke house and outbuiIdings,
and should be praised for the work
they did, rather than abused, Mr..
Bob Miller says he courts an inqui.
ry into his actions as a fireman on
this occasion The council should
enquire into the matter and it Mr.,
Miller is blameless, let them say so,
and vice versa.
