AwATER bicyc-c which has been re.
Gently invented has been successfully
tested in the Potomac river, near
Washington. The test demonstrated
that bicycling on water may become as
fascinating as bicycling on land. The
new bicycle Is a tandem and carried
two men, whose combined weight was
$50 pounds. 1t is called the hydro
cycle. This is mounted between two
cigar-shaped air tight floats, and Is
operated by pedals and paddles, and Is
steered by fin resembling the tail OF
n shark. Though a speed OF only four
miles an hour was attained. 1t is
claimed that ten miles can be made.

New York's $4,000 Hall-bedrooms and

from all others is the hall room. Lon

I5,000 hall bedrooms. Taking this as n

and because Of the length Of the ticket
the returns are coming in SO slow that
. neither side IL justified in claiming the
electoral vote with confidence.
North Carolina is claimed by both
parties. but, as in Tennessee. the re-
turns are slow, and no definite conclusion
is possible at present.
south Carolina. Georgia, Mississippi
and Alabama are all for Bryan by about
the normal Democratic majority. The
Virginia electors will, without question
be for Bryan, but they have been elected
by heavily reduced Democratic vote.
The Republicans have abandoned a
hope Of Texas. and the state is conceded
O. Bryan. The fusion between the Popu-
lists and Republicans In this state did
not prove a success.
Nebraska has gone for Bryan. notwith-
standing the Republican claims but
Kansas has as yet said practically Moth

In some districts, and these are offset by
Republican gains In other parts OF the
state. Both parties claim the state. but
the few scattering returns that are In
are of so indefinite a nature that any
claims. no matter by whom made, are Of
an uncertain character.
Wisconsin is sure for the Republican
column by an enormous plurality.
Minnesota, which was regarded as
doubtful by both parties. has surprised
everybody by the size of its Republican
plurality. and Mckinley will have 10000
20 10000 more votes in the state than
Bryan. Governor Clough, whose cleo

elected.

The Republicans claim Wyoming and

Oregon has gone for Mckinley, and
Colorado, as was expected. has given
Bryan a plurality. and Adams has. with
out doubt, been elected governor.
Idaho. Montana, Utah and Nevada
have all gone for Bryan by heavy ma
jorities.
California has. on the strength OF the
returns at hand. undoubtedly gone for
Mckinley. the city of San Francisco

half of the outside precincts show a
Democratic gain Of Al votes, showing
that the Democratic reliance upon the
heavy support Of the rural districts were
not entirely unwarranted. Delaware,

rent in twain because of the Addicks-
