WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.--Republican
control Of both houses OF the Fifty
sixth congress rs assured by late re-
turns from close districts.
The senate VIII be so strongly Re-
publican in the new congress that even
II the Democrats should elect the prcsi-
dent and the house Of representatives
in 1900 II would require an almost UNI
precedented Democratic landslide to
wrest the senate from the Republicans
The Republicans win gain senators in
New Jersey, Delaware New York and
probably In Indiana.
The surprising feature OF the returns
Is that, while Pennsylvania has given
10000 majority for the Republican can
didate for governor, Senator Quays
friends only claim three majority for
him on joint ballot In the Legislature.
while the opposition confidently asserts
that Quay cannot be reelected.
AS TO the composition of the next
house figures vary In the most startling
manner The only common agreement
Is that the house win be close.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 10.-Postmaster
General Charles Emory Smith. I'm an in
terview last night, summed up the cleo
ton results from the administration
viewpoint briefly. as follows:
The general trend Of the election was
decidedly favorable to the Republicans
The Democratic gains IN some localities
seem to be due TO the fact that two
years ago abnormal conditions prevail
ed and the Republicans carried an un-
usual number of the Democratic dis
tricts. some Of which now return 70 nor
nal conditions. The first striking fea-
ture Of the result is that II is the first
departure for many years from the rule

Brooke in command here, and his staff
have arrived from Ponce on board the

General Henry, on landing. went i'm

long conversation with General Brooke,
who introduced the members Of the in
sular cabinet. These officials rendered
their designations but General Henry
requested them to remain at their posts.
The forts saluted as the transport
passed out of the harbor. General re-
grets are expressed at General Brooke's
departure. He did excellent work here.
General Henry's coming is popular and

President McKinley's message given
at length in The DAILY LEADER and
other metropolitan papers yesterday is
by 90 mean a startling document as was
expected by many in u time rich with
opportunity for something striking, but
on the whole is disappointing rather for
what it does not cay than for what it
does say. 1t is u smooth. accurate,
authoritative review OF the causes and
incidents OF the recent war and nothing
more. As regards the future disposition
Of ou.. newly acquired possessions
where so much divergence OF opinion
lies the president says o a word, and
comes very nearly confirming by his
silence the estimate expressed OF him by
Andrew Carnegie, that he "does not be-
lieve the president has a policy in re-
gard to these new possessions and, ii he
has, that he has not backbone enough
to declare it," But in view OF the fact
that the president is weak in statesman
ship any wa. he has taken the very
safest course for his political reputa-
ton and for his party by leaving the
whole matter to congress which will have
to determine the policy in the end any
way. He does. however, venture far
enough to claim All interest in the dis
memberment Of China. His recommended
tons for an increased standing army
and navy are IN line with the growingde
ST g Of Imperialism. He reiterates his
former declarations on the money ques-
ton and wants the greeubacks retired.
He also wants our merchant marine
built up and a million dollars set apart
for the Paris exposition. He recommends
the centennial celebration OF the found.
ing Of the city OF Washington as our
national capital in 1900, aud also Of i'm.
provements OF many other minor mat
tiers.

Special Correspondence Of The Daily Leader.
WENTWORTH, Dec. 6.-Eureka, s. D.,
is the greatest local grain market in the
world. Wentw orth is one OF the best in
eastern South Dakota, proven by the
number Of teams lined up in front Of the
elevators day after day. Since the
opening of the market the price paid for
wheat has averaged one aud a-half to
two cents higher than has been paid in
ne%ighboring towns, and rs a result grain
has been drawn here from a distance OF
fifteen and twenty miles. G. H. Weiss
has shipped 100 cars up to date and
takes in as high rs sixty loads in one
day.
Wentworth is booming. During the
