Tho Rcsult In Maryland.

Baltimore, Nov. 3.-The Republicans have elected their municipal ticket in Baltimore by majorities ranging from 4,000 to 5000, but the state ticket is in doubt, and there Is some reason for be- lieving that the Democrats have carried the legislature and that United States Senator German may succeed himself. Official returns from the state are of meager and unsatisfactory character, so that even the chalrmen of the state central committees hesitate to express an unqualified opinion as to the result on the state and legislative tickets. A conservative estimate, based upon par tial returns. indicates that the Demo- crats will have SO votes on joint ballot, while the Republicans will have 57. The list of delegates and senators elected by each party will probably be as follows:
 Republican - Alleghany. 6: Anne Arundel, 4: Baltimore city. 19: Charles. 8: Frederick. 5; Garrett, 3; Harford, l; Prince Georges. 4; Somerset, 8; to- tai, AS.

THE SEAL TREATY.
Agreement Between United States, Japan and Russia Ready For Signatures.

Agreement Between United States, Japan
 and Russia Ready For Signatures.
 Washington, Nov. 2-It Is expected that a treaty between the United States Russia and Japan will be formally sign ed and executed in the state depart ment during the present week carry Ing out the proposition before the Der ing sea conference for a suspension of 2ehagic sealing. The signing will repre- sent the completed efforts of the con- ference, and after it the conference will adjourn.
 The Japanese government has ap- proved the proposition, and there is no doubt of it's acceptance by Russia. The essential feature of the treaty is fer the suspension of pelagic sealing for such period as will permit the seal herd to revive.
 The attitude which Great Britain will assume is awaited with much interest. The British expert, Professor d'Arcy Thompson, has had several talks with MT. Foster and MT. Hamlin, and these have been of such a satisfactory nature that it was believed an anlicable un- derstanding would be reached by all parties concerned if Canada showed a disposition to assent to the agreement. But Canada still stands in the way, and the continued absence of the Canadian expert, Mir. Macoun, is regarded in the light Of a diplomatic dIscourtesy, not only to the United States, but to the British government.
 No mention is made in the conven- tion of the killing of seals in case Great Britain and Canada do not cooperate. It is pointed out that Russia and Japan could not adopt retaliatory steps against Canada, as they have no bor- der interests with her. Any action against Canada, therefore, must be ta- ken by the United States alone.

PENNSYLVANIA'S VOTE.
Republicans Carry City of Brotherly Low
 and Keystone State.

Republicans Carry City of Brotherly Love
 and Keystone State.
 Philadelphia. Nov S.-Returns indi- Michael (Rep.) city treasurer and Hor- ace B. Hackett (Rep.) for register of wills by majorities approximating 75,- 900. Judges Bregy, Wiltbank, Auden- ried and Ferguson were elected unani- mously, they having been indorsed by both parties. The proposition to in- crease the indebtedness of the city by s12. 900 for public Improvements has been carried by about 10000. The vote Is about 30 Der cent under that of last year and will hardly equal the off year vote of 1895.
 Beacon (Rep.) for state treasurer and McCauley (Rep.) for auditor general have pluraiities in Philadelphia of about 75,000. Swallow (Pro.) for state treas urer received about 12.000 votes. The vote for Thompson Qnd. Rep.) for state treasurer was light, probably less than 1000.
 dispatch from Pittsburg says: Bea- con (Rep) for state treasurer has car ried Pittsburg by 10000 plurality and Alleghany county by 23,000. The entire Republican county ticket was elected.
 The incomplete figures show an ap- parent plurality for Beacon, the head of the Republican ticket, of 1+5.000. as against Haywood's plurality of 174.264 in 1895. The indications are that Me Cauley, the Republican candidate for auditor general, received about 10000 plurality

had recovered from one of these hemor-' rhages he would be desperately weak for at least an hour, ard Aunt John would watch over him until he was able to walk.
 One day the old creature came to the bridge alone. She was in a strange and unusual state of excitement and made no attempt to sell any papers. She sought out Nosey Geoghegan and in her half paralyzed way of speaking made him understand that she wanted him to go with her, and Nosey, not being bad fellow at heart, only little loud mouthed at times, took Aunt John by the arm and walked with her to the tenement. On cot under the window lay the kid. His wan hands were crossed over his breast and between his finger tips was faded daguerreotype, which the old woman tenderly removed and hand ed to Nosey. The newsboy saw the pie ture of fair haired boy, with wide open eyes, and he looked at the child on the bed. The likeness between the two was startling enough to impress even the unimpressionable Nosey, but, of course, the daguerreotype was that of another boy, for on the back was pasted a slip of paper on which was written: My darling boy, John, died July 8, 1863, aged years and months, the day his father was killed at Gettysburg.
 When Nosey looked again he realized that the kid whom he thought to be asleep, so peaceful was the smile on his parted lips, was dead. Aunt John was on her knees alongside of the cot, with her withered hand resting inert on tl floor and her living arm thrown over the corpse, while the faded picture was pressed to her lips. She got up after awhile and made Nosey understand that she wanted an undertaken. So he went out to get one and incidentally to relate his experiences to his fellows, who inn mediately made up purse of $1. 45, which four of them took to Aunt John, telling her in their rough way that it was to buy "wreat' of flowers fur the kid. ]" She took the money and, greatly to the surprise of the donors, patted each one of them on the head.
 On the Sunday following-this was on Friday-there was funeral from the top floor of the tenement, and when the undertaker's assistant carried out the slender coffin he saw daguerreo- type tied on the lid with bit of twine, and the old woman told him she want ed it buried with the body. Her old heart was broken, and the remainder of other and happier days must be laid away with the memory. And the un- dertaker did as she wished, and heaped the clods on the coffin and the picture.
 Aunt John was never seen at the bridge again. She disappeared as sud- denly and as mysteriously as she came, and the boys to this day are of the odd and homely opinion that she "dried up and blowed away, " because grief turned her blood to dust.-Vincent G. Cook in New York Mail.

Fusion Victory In Nebraska.

Lincoln. Neb., Nov. 3.-Nebraska re- newed her allegiance to fusion by elect ing the three candidates on that ticket by pluralities ranging from 10000 to 20.- 900. Nothing like complete returns have been received or will be received to- night, but enough are in to measure the result and indicate a greater fusion victory than in the presidential year.
 From fusion headquarters the follow ing was given out;
 We have carried Nebraska for the fusion ticket by plurality of from 2o- 900 to 25,000. Together with the mag nificent victory for the state ticket we have carried a majority of the county tickets. The cause leading to the re- suit Is a determination on the part of the people of Nebraska to demand bet ter money through the unlimited coin age of gold and silver."s
 Chairman Mover of the Republican committee Is sick at his home in Ona- ha. Secretary Sizor is unwilling to make any statement In the absence of more complete returns.

 Richmond-Van Wyck, 4,765; Low, 2,5S2; Tracy, 2,617; George. $40; Gleason, 20.
 The figures of the total vote of each candidate shows that had the solid vote of Low and Tracy been combined on MT. Low he would have beaten Judge Van Wyck by 14,0O0. In other words, Judge Van Wyck's vote falls that number short of equaling the united vote of Low and Tracy. He will also fall about 35.000 votes short of having a majority over all the candidates.
 Although the day was rainy, the vote was heavy. In the round up at the polls Tammany was able to make its thor ough organization felt.
 The Van Wyck voters in the boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx simply overwhelmed everything. The returns show that his vote in these two bor- oughs will be almost equal to the com- bined vote of Low and Tracy.
 Judge Parker carries Greater New York by a majority over Judge Wal lace of 13o,000. This simply swamped the shattered remnant of the Republic an vote up the state which met 1t at the city line. Mckinley last year carried the state by 268,000 plurality.

shows that the Democrats have gained in all of the cities largely except In Cleveland. The gains in Cincinnati and Columbus were very large The Re- publicans gained in the rural districts, but most of the changes were due to the stay at home vote In the rural dis tricts, which was fully 15 per cent.
 Editor Charles Christie of the Gin einnati Commercial Tribune says:
 Governor Bushnell and the entire Republican state ticket are elected In ohio by about 25,o00 plurality. Later information may increase the figures given. The legislature is absolutely safe for the Republicans on joint bal- lot, thereby insuring the election Of Mark Hanna to the senate. Cuyahoga county Is Republican by 5000, and, con- ceding the Democrats everything which they claim in the legislature outside Of Cleveland, the Republicans still have n majority on joint ballot of seven votes. The Republican majority in the legisla- ture will be from IF to 16."

Johnson, one of the bes. known criminal lawyers in Missouri and almost as we'll known outside of the state, has been retained to conduct the defense of Luetgert, the Chicago sausage maker, in the coming second trial for the alleged killing of his wife.

ROGER wOLCOTT.

this year that the vote fell to 166, 900, a plurality of S8, ,000 over Williams. The Democrats, pursuing a more vigorous course, received 7S, 900 votes, as com pared with 103,0 900 last year, while the National Democrats not only came within 1000 of their vote of 14,000 last year, but actually made gain of 1 per cent in ratio to the total vote of the state, and obtaining more than the nec- essary 8 per cent. will continue to hold a place on the state ticket. The Prohi- bition and Socialist candidates split up the balance of the total vote this year of 260. 900, as compared with 1885, poo last year.
 In ratio to last year the Republican vote fell off 35 per cent, the Democratic were but few close contests for seats in either branch of the legislature, but, singularly enough, nearly all resulted in victories for the Democrats. so that there will be four less Republicans in the 1898 house than in 1897. As the Re- publican majority will be about 175, the few defeats will make no difference. The senate, however, will remain un- changed. 35 Republicans and Demo- crats. John H. Sullivan. in this city. re- gained his seat as a member of the ex- ecutive council. which has been occu- pied this year by Isaac B. Allen. a col ored' man, whose sensational victory last year was one of the features of the 1896 election. The council thus returns to its old state of Republicans and Democrat. Sullivan had as his opponent Stanley Ruffan, another colored man. but the latter was defeated by over 5000.
 There was one congressional contest. in the First district, made necessary by the death of Hon. Ashley B. Wright, and here again the Republican candi- date, Hon. George P. Lawrence, was successful. There were few local con tests to add to the election, and the day was one of the quietest in the history of the state.
 A proposition to consolidate the legis- latiVe departments of the city of Boston in single chamber was voted down by a majority of about 6.O00.

WOlCOTT WINS AGAIN.
The Result of the Election Favorable to
 Republicans In Massachusetts.

The Result of the Election Favorable to
 Republicans In Massachusetts.
 Boston, Nov. 3.-At the annual state election yesterday the Republicans, as usual, swept the state by a, substantial majority, electing their entire ticket, as we'll as three quarters of the members of both branches of the legislature.
 As was expected, the apathy which marked the entire campaign extended to the election, although the stormy weather which prevailed all day prob ably accounted for a considerable DOT ton of the decrease in the vote. The tremendous majority which last year elected Governor Wolcott fell off con- siderably, while George Fred Williams, the Democratic leader, also suffered, but not nearly as much. Last year the Re- publicans, after a vigorous campaign on national issues, rolled up vote of 25S,- poo, but puch was the lack of interest
