WASHINGTON, Nov. 81 a. m.-
Chairman Babcock, of the Republican
congressional committee, has just made
the following statement to the Asso-
ciated Press:
While I am satisfied that the Re
pufblicans will control the house Of
representatives in the Fifty-sixth con-
gress, 1t Is impossible at this hour to
indicate what our majority In the
house will be. Thus far we have no
definite returns from Illinois, Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota, Iowa or Kansas. Ohio
has elected fifteen Republicans certain
ly, and two districts seem to be in
doubt From Michigan the returns In
dicate a solid Republican delegation.
Representative Hawley Is reelected in
Texas. Vincent Boering Is elected In
the Eleventh Kentucky, and Samuel
J. Pugh is probably elected in the
Ninth Kentucky. The election Of George
M. Dawson in the Eighth Kentucky Is
in doubt, with chances seemingly in
favor of his election. Advices from
Maryland show that we have elected
four representatives certainly.
Nineteen members of the delegation
from New York state, and perhaps
more, will be Republicans. r. Fisher,
of the Fourth district-Brooklyn- the
only member we have elected in Great
er New York The election Of Cochran
In the Nineteenth, New York, and OF
Mahaney in the Thirty -second-Buffalo
district is in doubt. From Pennsyl-
vania, we have thus far received
meager returns, but the indications are
that we have sustained some losses
there. Kirkpatrick of the Eighth dis
trict, and Arnold, Of the Twenty-eighth,
seem to have been defeated. Unoft1cial
advices from Western states show that
we have more than held our own, and
my conviction is that we shall control
the house by a safe majority, probably
not far from the figures which L gave
out last week"
The figures referred to by Mr.. Bah
cock were contained in his prediction
that the Republicans would have a
majority over all Of about twenty-five
Since early evening Secretary Kerr,
of the DemocTntic congressional COM
mittee, and a small corps of political
statisticians have been working on
returns received at Democratic con-
gressional headquarters. To the As
ISOLATED Press, Secretary Kerr said at
1 o'clock:
1.-THE Republicans have lost control
of the house Of representatives. We
will have from 18s to 100 members and
will organize the house Of the Fifty
sixth congress. The majority will be
from fifteen to twenty over the Re-
publicans and perhaps more. My ad-
vices indicate gains in states as fol-
lows: Alabama, Q; Illinois, 5; Iowa, /;
Kentucky, g.; Maryland, 2; Massachus-
etts, 2; Missouri, 2; New Jersey, 2; New
York, 6; North Carolina, 2; Pennsylva-
MIA, g. Virginia, 3, and West Virginia,
l. This is a total Of -87. One district
in Delaware is doubtful, with the
chances in favor Of the Democrats"
In figuring a gain Of three in Vir-
ginia, Secretary Kerr includes two dis
tricts which elected Democratic con-
gressrnen in 1896, who were unseated
by the present house.

The returns last night from the cleo
ton in Minnesota were sweet music to
Democratic ears for the first time In
forty years. From the time the ftrst
precinct of Ramsey county came in to
the last dispatch that struggled into
morning, the vote got better and better
for the Democratic candidate until
there is no question that Mr.. Lind is
elected by plurality which will be at
least 1900, and may reach 10000. st.
Paul has given Mr.. Lind plurality of
1000 and Minneapolis $500. Out in the
state the people wanted Mr.. Lind and
they said so with a hurrah from Ely to
Caledonia. ST. Louis county has gone
with the rest Of the bunch by 1900 OF
so. Red Wing bobs UP with sur
pretty unanimous for the Democratic
standard bearer, and Isanti seconded
the motion with vengeance. over

in that row Of counties in the southern
part of the state, which generally gives
every Democrat a shudder-Houston
Fillmore, Mower, Freeborn, Faribault,
Martin, Jackson and Rock-Mr. Lind
did superbly. In the northern part OF
the state the farmers were not doing
anything but thrashing Eustis. Polk,
Red Lake, Clay, Marshall, K1ttson and
the rest Of the bunch did themselves
proud from sun to sun. Mr.. Eustis,
anti-machine candidate that he was.
did manage to scrape off county here
and there through the state, but he
didn't get enough votes to make him
feel proud Of his run.
AS to the remainder Of the state tick
ct little Is known up to the hour Of
going to press. Judge Mitchell is rum
ming ahead of the ticket everywhere,
sometimes even leading Lind, and Ii
undoubtedly elected by a good round
plurality.
Mr. Ringdal is certainly elected to
congress in the Seventh district, and
Mr.. Towne probably in the Sixth. The
Third may have gone for Mr.. Kinds.

at present nor will he give any fig

From a conservative standpoint 1t
looks as though Scofield will carry the
state by a somewhat reduced plurality
from the figures estimated by Chair
man Treat.
AT this hour there is nothing on
which to base the complexion of the
next Legislature, nor can the result on
congressman be stated.

The judiciary issues In New York

figured as strongly in the campaign as
was thought. Congressman Quigg came
