NEW YORK.

New York, Nov. 3.-McKinley and Ho- bart made clean sweep of the Empire state. The democratic plurality of 45,OO0 in 1892 was reversed and the unprecedent- ed plurality of 2S0,000 has been rolled up for the republicans and sound money. Tammany's enormous majority in this city has been overcome and this strong hold of the democracy has given a plurali- ty of 21 ,000 for Mckinley.
 In Brooklyn McKinley's jlurality is 29,- 000 Tn the state outside of the two cities he has plurality of 234, 900.
 In every county and every town there have been republican gains which are equal to all that republican campaign managers claimed in this state. Frank S. Black, republican, for Governor is elected by about 24o,OOO. Timothy L.. Woodruff, republican for lieutenant gov ernor and Irving G. Yam, for judge of the court of appeals are elected by nearly as large pluralties. The republicans have elected twenty-eight republican con- gressmen to the democrats six. They will have about 110 out of the 150 mem- bers of the state assembly and the elec- tion of republican to succeed David B. Hill in the United States senate is as- sured. About the only salvation from the wreck that the democrats have secured is the election of 'Sulzer, Cummings, Me- Clellan, Bradley and Vehstage to con- gresS from this city.

SELMA.
A Cotton Seed War Raging-A Cold Stor-
 age Plant.


 age Plant.
 Selma, Ala, Nov. 3.-(Special)-A cot ton seed war is raging in Selma and as a consequence high prices prevail and all planters and tenant farmers are rushing their seed to market, selling all they can spare and in many cases more. The pub lie scales in front of the market is the storm center, for there representatives of the Meridian Oil company, the Ala bama oil company and the International company, wait with sacks full of coin to swap for seed. At times the vicinity of the scales is so crowded the vigorous presence of a policeman Is necessary, and the bidding for seed runs the price up out of sight.
 The normal price of seed is $8 per ton, or 40 cents per bushel. Since the war started seed has brought as high as 71 cents per hundred or $1420 per ton.
 This price has caused the seed to come and come-a-running. The farmers have scraped their bins and in one case farm CT is known to have taken the seed from his compost heap to sell them.
 It is turning loose lots of money at this season, but in the spring scores of farm CTS will have to buy seed for planting Selma is to have new ice factory and a cold storage plant It will be operated in connection with the International Cot ton Seed Oil company, and will be ready for business along with Old Sol next spring.
 There was some talk of starting the en- terprise last winter and it was found im- possible to get the plant in working order in time for the hot weather and the scheme was temporarily abandoned.
 The plant is to consist of one thirty ton machine, five or ten tons of which will be used on the cold storage plant.
 During the past week representa- tives of the Van Wrinkle company, of Atlanta, Ga. Prick company, Waynesboro, Pa, Della Verne Ice Machine company, New York city. and the Stilwell Bierce com pany, Dayton, O., have been in the city to ascertain what was desired and they will return during this week with speci- fications and bids.
 Work will begin on the building in am- pie time to get all in shape for the first warm weather next spring.

Probably Lost at Sea-Funeral of MT. Francis B. Clark.
 Mobile, Nov. 2.-(Special Correspond ence.) e.)-Grave fears are entertained for the safety of the American brig Mary T. Kimball, owned in this port. She cleared Aug. 29 with coal and crossties for the
 south of Cuba, and since that time she
 has not been spoken. The voyage should
 have long ago terminated. It Is thought
 the vessel went down in storm in the
 gulf, and that all on board were lost.
 The funeral of the late MT. Francis B.
 Clark, Jr., occurred from Christ Episco-
 cal church al 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon
 The edifice was crowded with his friends
 and with those of the family. The serv-
 ices of the dead were conducted by the
 rector, the Rev. Dr. J. L. Tucker, and
 the interment was in Magnolia cemetery A large cortege followed the remains to their last resting place. and the grave was covered with many handsome floral designs sent by sorrowing friends. The following gentlemen, all from the Bar association, were the pall-bearers: Active-Messrs s. T. Prince. J. C.. Rich, J. J. Parker, E. M. P. Inge, P. J. Hamil- ton, John Mitchell. w. R. Clarke and T. H. Smith; honorary-W. H. Taylor, H. T. Toulmin, O. J. Semmes and w. s. An derson.
 One by one the victims of Frank Fields, alias Hart, alias Stone, report, and all the counties are not yet heard from.
 Chief Burke yesterday received a letter from a woman in New Orleans, who claims she was deserted by Fields at the Hotel Royal, in that city, and she says she is anxious to see him punished to the fullest extent of the law The woman writes that she is widow with one child, and was in very straitened circumstances when she met Fields, who induced her to leave her home with him and to start to Bluefelds, in Central America, where he said he was in business and upon ar irving there he promised to marry her. She says he deserted her in New Or leans, and she was waiting for him to join her there when she heard of his ar rest The woman says that half the charges against Fields have not been told.

OHIO,

Columbus, O.. Nov. 3.-The returns so far received indicate that the republican plurality in Ohio will be slightly in ex- cess of that given for Bushnell for gov ernor last year. That was 91,0O0.
 Watson, republican, has been elected to congres from this district defeating Lantz, free silver fusion. It was a close district. It is now believed that there have been but two free silver congress- men elected. Marshall in the Fourth and McDowell in the Seventh.
 Chairman kurtZ, at II D. m., claimed the state for Mckinley on returns so far received by 102,000.
 Columbus. usually democratic, gives Mckinley about 4.000 plurality.
 The entire democratic county ticket is defeated.
 Columbus, O.. Nov. 3.-Ohio elected to- day, beside presidential electors, a secre- tary of state, food commissioner. supreme judge and public works commissioner The populists and democrats fused on the state and electoral tickets. Each got two candidates on the state ticket, and the populists got five of the twenty-three electors These five electors were to vote for Watson. The others were 10 vote for Sewail for vice-presdent. All were. of course, to vote for Bryan for president. There.werei s50, ,29a vc.as cast In 1892. To- day t.,s total vote was about 995.poo.
 While the returns from Ohio at this hour t9::0 u-) gre meagre and inden- mite. they all po.nt to republican plural

MINNESOTA.

St. Paul. Minn., Nov. 3.-Four hundred of the 1,717 precincts of Minnesota have reported enough to indicate that the state has gone overwhelmingly for Mo- Kinley. St. Paul has given him majori- ty of at least 5000, and Minneapolis has at least done as well. The state has ap- parently given the Buckeye statesman about 50,000 plurality. Every county so far reporting gives a big Mckinley ma- jority. The only man on the democratic state ticket who has chance of election is Lind, for whom the Scandinavians have voted very extensively. Lind, how ever, seems to be buried under the Me Kinley avalanche. It is clean republi- can sweep on congressman except the Seventh district. The First district goes for Tawney by 5000, the Second for Me Cleary by 7.000 the Third for Heatwole by 2,OO0. The Fourth goes for Stevens by 10. GOO and the Fifth for Fletcher by 5000, the Sixth for Morris by 5000. The Sev- enth district is in doubt. but has probably gone for Eddy, republican, by a few hundred. The legislature is republican by two-thirds on joint ballot.

Boston, Mass, Nov. 3.-The indications are that Mckinley has carried Massa- chusetts. by 150,000. Wolcott for Governor runs somewhat behind Mckinley. Wil- Hams, the silver candidate for Governor. also runs behind Bryan, though not as much as Wolcott runs behind Mckinley. The vote is very large in all parts of the state.
 The congressman elected are: Wright, republican, in the First; Gillett, republi- can. in the Second; Walker, republican. in the Third; Weymouth, republican. in the Fourth; Knox, republican, in the Fifth; Moody. republican. in the Sixth; Barrett, republican, in the Seventh; Mccall. re- publican, in the Eighth; Fitzgerald, dem- ocrat, in the Ninth; the Tenth is still in doubt; Sprague. republican, in the Eleventh; Lowering, republican, in the Twelfth, and Simpkins republican. in the Thirteenth.
 The Palmer vote promises to equal the desired per cent. of the total to give the national democrats standing on the Aus tralian ballot.
 Both of the biennial e,ectiors amend ments have oeen defeated by vote ol about to 1.
 The legislature Is overwhelmingly re publican in both branches.

INDIANA.

Indianapolis, Nov. 3.-The only question about Indiana is the size of McKinley's majority. Sixteen Indianapolis precincts show that Marion county has been car- ried by not less than 10000, and twenty five country precincts reported to the republican state committee show an av- craze gain of twenty-five to the precinct. At the same time the returns from twen1 ty-five precincts show an average gain of ten. There are 31,116 precincts in the state. From these indications at re- publican headquarters the state is claimed for Mckinley by not less than 50,000.
 At democratic state headquarters but half a dozen telegrams were received. One of these show a gain of thirty-five for Bryan in one precinct in Owen coun- ty and another shows @ democratic loss of 145 in four precincts of Grant county. Chairman Martin said that his advices on the whole led him to believe that the democrats will hold their majority of 1892, which was 1000. The republicans claim twelve out of the thirteen congressmen and the legislature by a decisive major- ity in both branches, meaning a repub- 1ican successor to Senator Voorhees,. The candidates for Governor are running very close to the figures on the national ticket.

The board of visitors to the Naval Academy at Annapolis noted with sur prise that officers and cadets do not sal ute the colors by removing their caps, but simply touch them after formal fashion apparently modelled on foreign custom. Ladies are saluted in the same way. The board thereupon recommend ed that the national cofors be salused by uncoverlng the head, and that ladies be recognized in the manner usual among gentlemen.

MISSOURI.

St. Louis, Mo, Nov. 9.-Meagre returns have been received at democratic state headquarters up to p. m. Eighteen precincts in the state outside of St Louis give Bryan 2,21S; Mckinley 1,543 Stevens (dem.) for Governor ITS; Lewis (rep) for Governor 1,26S.
 Chairman Cook, of the democratic state committee, claims Bryan carried Mis- souri by 10000 and concyedes that Stew ems, for Governor, will not have more than 25,OOO majority. Up to the present time not a precinct in St. Louis has been reported at police headquarters and from the complicated count on the ballots it will be at least Il o'clock before a cal culation can be made with certainty on the result of the election in the city. Con- servative estimates, however, give St. Louis to the republicans by at least 25.- 900 majority.
 Hunt (dem) undoubtedly wins over Joyce in the Eleventh congressional district Bartholdt is reelected in the Tenth. In the Eighth congressional dis trict Richard P. Bland is elected by near ly 10000 majority.
 Jefferson City gives Mckinley 200 ma- jority, gain of 300 republican votes.
 Milwaukee, Wis. Nov. S.-The indica- lions at 10 o'clock are that Mckinley will carry Wisconsin by at least 50,000 major ity. The returns from 300 urecincts show a net republican gain of 2, 160 The city of Milwaukee will probably give McKin- ley a small majority. It will be close racve between Otjen (rep) for congress, and Schilling fusion) with the chances in favor of the latter. The fusion county ticket will probably be elected in part. The fusion state ticket is running about per cent. ahead of Bryan, but there seems to be no chance for it's success.
 Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 3.-There is no doubt about the election of each of the eleven democratic nominees for congress in Georgia. Majorities range from 1000 to 5000 the aggregate democratic majori- ty of the state being about 30,0 900 for con gressman and approximately the same for Bryan and Sewall. The vote is not as large as in the recent election, as pop ulists having withdrawn their electoral ticket from the field, many of them re- trained from voting. Many of them voted for Mckinley, 1t being particularly noticeable that in several of the strong est populist counties Mckinley electors obtained majorities. The Palmer and Buckner vote was insignificant, partici- pants in the independent gold movement generally voting for Mckinley.

KANSAS,

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 3.-There being eight long tickets on the Australian bal lot, the count in Kansas is slow. Re- turns from scattering precincts in twenty counties show republican gains.
 Chairman Simpson, of the republican state committee says that Mckinley has carried the state by 1oo00; that the repub- Iican state ticket is elected and major fly of both branches of the legislature. .nsuring the election of United states senator to succeed Mr. Petfer 1t is doubtful if the returns will be complete before morning
