WASHINGTON, Nov. s.-Secretary
Sherman returned to the capitol early
this morning. after having voted yes
terday at Mansfield. o. He expressed
confidence that the Republicans had
elected their state ticket in Ohio and
had secured majority Of the legisla-
ture, insuring Republican senator as
successor to Mr.. Hanna.
COMPLETE RETURNS
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 4.-Unofficial,
but complete returns show Repub-
lican plurality of 26,52O in Ohio. Both
sides still claim a majority of the legis-
lature, the Republicans by five and the
Democrats by three.
At both the Republican and Demo-
cratic headquarters tonight figures are
being substituted for the claims OF last
night and today. ChairElt n McCouville
of the Democratic state committee, con-
ceded the defeat of his state ticket but
states they have reduced the Republican
plurality of $1,000 of last year by over
one-half. Although others at Demo-
cratic state headquarters concede that
the legislature will be Republican on
q close majority on one or two, Chair
man McConville does not concede the
control of the body to the Republicans.
At Republican state headquarters to-
night the list of senatorial districts is
given in which it is claimed the Republic
cans have seventeen and the Democrats
nineteen. The only district disputed by
the Democratic managers is that which
includes Marion and Logan counties,
and which would make the senate stand
sixteen Republicans to twenty Demo-
Gratis. The Republicans concede that
the Democrats will have two majority
in the senate.
The Republican state committee
claims that the two representatives from
Summit county are the only ones in
doubt tonight, and the returns show the
house to stand fifty-eight Republicans
forty nine Democrats and two doubtful,
and that in their claims of rs to 70 with
a majority of five on joint ballot, for
senator, they have so far conceded Sum-
nit county to the Democrats, although
they expect the official count to give
them at least one of the two representa-
tives from that county.

KANSAS
Many Claims Made, But Nothing Is
Certain

TOPEKA, Kas., Nov. Sat a late hour
tonight the returns from Tuesdays elec-
tion in Kansas are still incomplete. The
indications are that the Republicans
have elected eight of the thirteen dis
trict judges voted for.
The Republicans claim to have elected
ten of the judges. On the other hand,
the fusionists claim to have been sue
cessful in eight of the judicial districts
but no figures are given out. Incom-
plete and unofficial returns from ninety
of the 105 counties of the state would in
dicate Republican victories in almost
half the county elections.
Complete returns from Topeka city
and Shawnee county. show the entire
Republican county ticket elected by ma
jorities ranging from 110 to 1900. There
is large decrease in Republican ma
jorities which a year ago were from

Associated Press Special wire.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.-It has been
known here for some time that the West
Indian possessions Of Great Britain
were urging the home government to
secure them all the reciprocity advant-
ages possible under the Dingley act.
The initiative was taken by British
Guiana, where the high court or colonial
legislature unanimously adopted a res
olution requesting the authorities at
London to instruct the British ambas-
sador at Washington to secure all tho
advantages offered other countries In
the line of reciprocity. The debate In
the high court brought out the state
ment that the sugar industry of the coll
ony, which is the chief one was depend
ent to a large extent on the American
market, the shipments to the United
States exceeding those to all other
countries. without a reciprocity ar
rangement, 1t was stated In the debate
South American sugar producing coun-
tries would secure control of the Amer
lean market and the industry Of Guinea
would be crippled, II not destroyed. It
was understood that the other British
American colonies would take action
similar to that Of British Guiana.
The instructions now issued to Sir
Julian Pauncefote are in response to
these appeals from the British colonies.
The British colonies which secured
reciprocity treaties under the Mckinley
law were Barbados, Guiana, Jamaica,
Leeward islands, Trinidad and Wind
ward islands. The treaties were negoti-
ated between Sir Julian Pauncefote and
Mr.. Blaine on February /, 1892. and
President Harrison put them into effect
the same day by proclamation. In that
case the British government acted for
the colonies, but subsequently each coll
ony passed a law carrying the reciproc.
ity into effect. The same procedure
would be observed in the present case.
No reciprocity treaties were made for
the British possessions Of the Bahamas,
Bermudas or British, as it was found
that there were no articles on which rc-
ciprocal exchange could be made.
The aggregate trade Of the British COLI
onies is very great, exceeding that o.
some of the first-class nations. When
the last treaties were made the exports
Of the colonies were $50, ,000, 900 annually,
and the imports about the same. The
main shipments to the United States
were sugar, $3.50. 900; fruits, $3.100.000;
coffee, $817 900; cocoa, 100000; drugs
and chemicals. $658, The shipments
from the United. States to the colonies
were mainly breadstuffs. provisions.
manufactures Of iron, steel, wood and
cotton.
The government Is now favorably con:
sidering the question Of recurring to the
system Of reciprocity for encouraging
our commercial relations with Canada.
1t is known that Mr.. Kasson. who has
been specially charged with the arr
rangements of reciprocity plans under
the new tariff act. is friendly to such .
course.

terday she went to the house Of friend
for protection. Metoza found her there,
and beat her more cruelty than before.
She was left bleeding and helpless in her
neighbours care, and died in agony. de-
spite the efforts of two physicians
to relieve her pain. The doctors have
refused to sign the death certificate. and
have requested the coroner to investi-
gate the case, which he will do tomor-

TOO SEVERE
Private Hammond's Sentence Made
Very Much Lighter

"a @AA NSAA A<A6 AeSA
CHICAGO, O,Nov.3.-Private Hammond.
who was dragged by his heels before a
summary court martial at Fort Sheri-
dan, four weeks ago, on the order of
Captain Lowering, to answer to charge
of desertion, will serve but half the SEN
tence imposed upon him then. He was
sentenced by court composed of fell
low soldiers of Captain Lowering to go
to prison for year at hard labor and
to forfeit all pay for this period. In ad-
dition, the verdict provided for the dis
honorable discharge of the private.
AS mitigated by General Brooke, the
sentence compels Hammond to serve in
prison only six months. His pay is re-
duced by $40 month and there is no
provision for dishonorable discharge,
that being thought too severe by the
commander. By this action Hammond,
after he has served six months, will be
restored to his former position in the
army.
