fed at Election Results.
INTERVIEWS WITH THE MEMBERS
Reports That Spaniards in Porto
Rica Are Threatened.
PL A TATIONS BURNED

PARIS, November Accommodating upon
the telegraphic reports received here re-
garding the result of the elections in the
United States, Mr.. Whitelaw Reid said: Il
am greatly rejoiced by the results. and am
much more delighted than had l been at
home and received precisely the same
news"
Senator Gray referring to the success
full campaign of Colonel Theodore Roose-
Welt in the contest for the gorernorship of
New York, said: THE returns show the
result of very hard battle. in which all
the vehemence of the successful candidate
and his splendid military record appealed
to the military spirit which Is still alive
and potential in consequence of q war so
recent and fragrant and not yet technically
ended"
Touching upon the general result of the
elections, the senator said: The result In
the country is too much in doubt to war
rant any expression of opinion. 1t does not
seem to one at this distance as II the pol
icy of expansion entered at all into the
campaign"
Senator Frye Delighted.
Senator Frye said: II am highly delighted
at the results. AS indicated by the cable
dispatches. Senator Murphy will not be
returned from New York state. and, while
am not cha agrned TO have another repubi-
can added to the United States Senate
Judge Day remarked: AS far as l know,
gratifying results appear from yesterdays s
elections. 1t is especially gratifying that
a man of Colonel ROoseSelt's nigh char
aCter and unbiemished integrity is so tri-
un nphantly elected governor of New York.
Senator Davis said: THE result of the
elections is of course very gratifying to
me, as a republican. 1t approves the gen.
eral policy of the administration and the
principles of the party which 1t represents.
Il have not had much concern to what
effect any result would have had upon our
foreign affairs, and particularly upon the
war, the treaty negotiations or any 0. our
regulations with Spain, for this reason:
That the American people, whatever their
differences as to their internal concerns,
will practically be unit as to their for
eign relauons as they have been through
out this war, and always have been
throughout their history, in support of the
government. no matter by what party ii
may lie administered.
The election of Col. Roosevelt is espe-
cially gratifying to me on account of our
long. personal friendship"
Spaninrds Not Pleased.
The Spaniards here are not gratifed by
the results of the elections, though there
is no reason to believe the attitude of the
American peace commissioners has been
changed by the elections.
SIaniards here having interests in the
Island of Porto Rico have been disturbed
by private cable advices saying the lives
and property of SpdniardS there are threat
ened by seditious persons in the country
districts and suburbs of the cities, where
aSSdSSInatiOnS and the burning of coffee
plantations are said to be continuing.

A Boss OverthrOwn,

From the New York Press
So Theodore Roos welt is governor-eect
today, and the shameful chapter of the en-
pire states representation in the Senate by
Murphy is closed by reason of the mag
n!ffcent Response of the straight repubIi-
cans of the state to the call of their leader
In the glory of this achievement all Will
be disposed, perhaps, to look first to the
overthrow of the brutal and vulgar boss
who sought openly to extend his rule from
the city hall to the state capitol.

From the PhilndpIphia Press

The reported election of Theodore Roose-
welt governor of New York is one of the
most conspicuous victories the republican
Iarty won yesterday. 1t Is a victory for the
party and for the candidate. The republi-
cans had the sagacity to nominate a man
who has made himself commendabie rec
ord in both civil and military life, and the
people, recognizing the fitness Of the nomi-
nation, indorsed it.

Secretary Bliss Defendant.

The land controversy between the Aspen
Consolidated Mining Company and John r.
Williams has again come into court. To-
day Mr. August Goerts of the mining COM
pany filed suit against Cornelius N. Bliss,
Secretary of the Interior, and Binger Her
mann, commissioner of the general land
office, seeking to have set aside recent
decision by Secretary bliss in favor OF VIII
liams. The Aspen company claims patent
to certain public mining lands in Colorado.
Williams they claim, encroached. The
matter has been before the Interior De-
partment many times. Former Secretary
Hoke Smith decided in favor of the Aspen
company and ordered their entry recorded.
The case was reviewed and again taken up
before Secretary Bliss, with the result that
former decisions We're reversed and Will
liams' claim to the land recognized.

English Naval Experts Alarmed.
london Corr New York Times.

LONDON Corr new 10TH llines.
Many important subjects thrown to the
top by the events of the past week are
being anxiously discussed by British ma
val officers. 1t is hardly too much to say
that Santiago has frightened them. They
realize that American gun practice must DC
infinitely superior to British. Lord Charles
Beresford is going round declaiming in
the Hobbies that he warned the admiralty
and parliament of this years ago, striving
to incite a parliamentary mut1ny against
the admiralty's stupid neglect of gunnery.
1t is suspected, moreover, that American
ship ordnance and ammunition are superb
or to the British, and it is known that its
armoring is; and this is going to be talked
about utterly. But most striking OF all
is the sudden perception here among naval
officers that our Annapolis men are scien-
tifcally their betters. While England has
four military colleges, her UNNECESSARILY
u ore important naval needs are supposed
to be served by a single educational ins;i-
tuition at Greenwich, the scope of which
can be judged by the fact that 1t has eight
professors and eighteen tutors, several Of
the latter attending once or twice a week.
This state of affairs is really so prepoSter-
Gus that 1t can only require some sucn
sharp awakening as Santiago has furnish
ed to alter it. There have been no British
naval maneuvers for years in. which more
collisions. accidents and mfsunderctand-
ihgs have not occurred in week than the
whole American campaign in Cuban
waters has exhibited. When British Off
GERS themselves say that this is because
they not educated like the Americans.
as they are saying all over the country, 1t
is probable that there will be a change.
1t is not an inappropriate place to add
that English men of affairs confess to me
their surprise at not hearing of steps being
taken by the United States swiftly to train
a young civil service staff for the specific
duties of colonial administration. To send
cut unskilled administrators, ignorant OF
the habits and ideas of a country and de-
pendent on native interpreters and rebel
political advisers, is, they say, to walk
t straight into the most calamitous kind of
a hornets nest.
