PRESIDENT FAvoRs 1T.

win ReoonmsnA the Construction Of tho
Nicsrsgus Canal
New YORK, Nov. "a special from
Washington says: In President McKin-
ley's message to congress will be g very
strong and urgent appeal for immediate
Legislative action for the construction of
the Nicaraguan canal under government
direction. The president will point out
that our now connections in the Pacific
and in the West Indies make it impera-
tive for the United States to build and
control the great international water
way, and that delay beyond the present
congress in authorizing its construction
will jeopar1ize the chances for Ameri-
can control in the future.
President Mckinley fully appreciates
the difficulties in the way of securing
prompt action, but he and other canal
advocates also appreciate that failure
this year may mean permanent failure
Hence Preparations are going forward
for ono Of the most bitter fights ever
waged in the interests Of the canal.

AN ILLINOIS LYNcHING.

Hob Of Hundred Miners string Up .
Negro Rspist.
LAcoN, Ills, Nov. 9.-The first lynch
ing in Central Illinois in many years
took place here at an early hour when
100 miners from Toluca, Q mining town
9 short distance east Of here, broke into
the county Jail, took F..W. Stewart, q
Toluca negro, and hanged him to q
tree. The work was done quickly and
quietly. Stewards crime was assault
upon Mary O'Brien, the daughter Of one
of the Toluca miners. Although many
living in Lacon deplore the lynching
there isa general impression that the
negro was punished as he deserved and
no special effort is being made to dis
cover the identity of the members of the

Examination of Damage Done

Heavy Foundations and Sustaining Arches

81 the Explosion.
NO REBUILDING Is NECESSARY

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-An examina-
ton of that part of the Capitol building
damaged by the explosion and fire of
Sunday night was made during the day
by Assistant Architect Wood Of the Cap
itol. In speaking Of the matter he said:
81 have made preliminary examina-
ton and I am not able to say what
caused the explosion, though the main
attention is being given to the gas sup
ply. I find that the general damage sus-
tained by the building is not as serious
as at first supposed. The heavy founda-
tions to the building do not appear to be
disturbed, and the walls blown down
are confined to the thin encircling walls,
built to encircle pipes, etc. None of the
Heavy Sustaining Arches OF Pillars
have given way SO far as I can find. I
will make Q fuller examination with
better light later to make certain on
these points. For the present it does
not seem that q rebuilding of any part
Of the Capitol will be necessary. The
work will be that Of repairing, and /
hope we can finish this by the time con-
ggress convenes. We have small ball
ance for this, but in any event the work
will be done"
The only damage that could not be
made good was done in the file room Of
the supreme court in the basement,
where were stored all the official records
and the original copies Of opinions from
the foundation Of the government.

Republican Victory.

ST. Paul, Nov, 9.-It is republican
victory in the doubtful states with few
exceptions. While the republican vote
shows decided falling off from that Of
two years ago, as was feared by the re-
publican managers, they have enough
and to spare in tho states where the con-
test was most vital. New York, the
principal center of interest, has gone re-
publican and Roosevelt is elected gov
ernor. This was conceded last night by
the democrats. The majority is away
below that Of Black, but the vote
!, through the state shows that while the
republican vote fell off to q large extent,
the democratic vote was equal or nearly
SO to that of two years ago, accounting
for the reduced republican majority.
The following IRE the results in some
of the states: n 's
New York hrs gone republican, Roose-
sit being elected governor over Van
Wycl by 5000 majority. The legisla-
,ture is republican.
Ohio is republican by a plurality Of
over 5000.
Michigan is republican and Pingree is
reelected governor by 5O,ODO.
Iowai is republican by plurality Of
over GO.OO0. ...,
B North and South Dakota are both
safely republican, In South Dakota the
republican state ticket is elected and
Lee is defeated. North Dakota elects
republican state ticket and legislature.
Wisconsin is republican by thirty
thousand and Scofeld is elected gov
ernor. iss
Minnesota is very close, but Lind is
probably elected governor over 'Eustis.
The balance Of the state ticket is prob
ably republican.
The republicans have also carried
Pennsylvania, Illinois, Massachusetts,,
New Hampshire, California, Connecticut,
Washington and probably Nebraska.
Il The New York returns to the Associ-
ated Press indicate 157 republicans and
l43 democrats elected to the assembly.
The last house stood 189 to Ill. The
republican loss is 80
The republicans win q senator in New
York, Delaware, Wisconsin, New Jersey,
Nebraska and North Dakota. III

The Rise In the Ohio.

Cincinnati, Jan. 25.-A stage of so
feet S1G inches was maintained in the
Ohio river from Z a. IN. till p. m.
Monday, when the water began to
rise. At 8 o'clock it had reached so
feet and inches and was still rising.
Dispatches received late last night
brought cheering news. They showed
the river falling from above Wheeling
all the way down to Portsmouth. From
Portsmouth to Cairo it is rising slowly.
The Great Kanawha poured out COM
paratively little water. From the Big
Sandy down to the mouth of the Ohio
the southern affiuents contributed big
floods. They are all falling down to
the Kentucky river and including that
stream. The freshets from tributaries
on the north side of the river were less
serious than first reports represented.
