The Ohio Legislature.

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 6.-The contest
for control of the Ohio legislature is
considered ended to-day. The official
counting in some counties will continue
next week. but no material changes
sre expected. The indications are that
the Senate will stand 10 democrats and
II republicans and the House 81 demo-
ciats and IS republicans, with major
ity of five republicans on joint ballot.
There may be several contested seats,
but these cannot be considered until the
legislature meets, on the first Monday
in January. Since it seems to be set.
tied that the republicans have small
majority on joint ballot, the rumors
are revived about combine of certain
republican members with the seventy
democratic members for the election OF
some one other than Senator Hanna
on the joint ballot. There are some
republicans, who are not members OF
the legislature, who are said to be
working for an anti-Hsnna combine,
but none of the members are known
to favor such movement. Governor
Bushnell will have democratic Senate
on which to depend for the con6rma
ton OF his appointments and no parti-
san legislation can be passed.
Allen o Myers, of the democratic
State headquarters, says: 81 stand to-
day where I stood the day after the
election, with Judge Nash, chairman
of the republican State committee, who
says the Senate will be II republicans
and 10 democrats and the House SIS re-

republicans five of majority on joint
ballot for U. S. Senator"

LONDON LAUGHS AT WALL STREET
SoARE.-The London Daily Chronicle
in an editorial yesterday, based upon
the resolutions of the New York Cham.
Der of Commerce urging the President
and Congress of the United States to
increase the sea coast defenses, says:
mo doubt if the whole British navy
were recalled from the ends of the
earth it might put few shells into
Wall street, into Brooklyn and even
in Jersey City, but it could not pass
through Long Island sound, and it
never could get any where near He'll
Gate.
"Great Britain, however, has some
thing else to do than clear the world of
her ships in order to infiot fine on
New York. But when the Wall street
bear wants q pretext for scare any
thing comes handy"
All the morning papers comment
upon 'such alarmist rumors' as a
"Wall street dodge to send prices
down." None of them believes that
they should be taken seriously.
