THE DEMOCRATIC GAINS.

the Pennsylvania Situation.

the Pennsylvania Situation.
Representative Ernest F. Acheson of
Washington, Pa, arrived in the city today
for the forthcoming session of Congress.
In speaking of the democratic gains in the
congressional districts Of his state Mr.. Ach-
eson said
THE democrats gained seven district in
Pennsylvania, and in the next House they
will have a representation of ten members.
present strength. These gains cannot rea-
sonably be attributed to any dissatisfaction
with the adm .nistration of the President or
the general policytof the republican party
believe that they were due to factional
differences among the republicans during
the campaign. In some Of the districts
gained by the democrats the republicans
were in constant -Wrangle and controversy
the result being that the vote Of the party
aGherents was divided .z>
This is notablysIEe case in the Erie dis
trict in the northwestern section of the
state Higgins the republican candidate
there, lost by just sixteen votes There
were a number OF factional fights in this
district. and bntssfQr. this fact he would
have DpHed through wi. .hout any difficulty
This was the case m o4fer dis tricts VIII ch
are normally republican The republican
party in PennsylVa la Is just as strong, if
and with a united rganlzaton we would
have pulled thu oughtNth great gains. The
republicans are hntt in favor of Presi-
dent Mckineys foreign policy, and If the
vote were on thaLissue They would sustain

special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, November 16-The early
trading this morning showed some indica-
tons OF hesitancy growing out of possible
complications at Paris, but realizing sales
again met good market. Foreign houses
sold for time, but the close holiday in
Berlin removed factor which has been
foremost in the recent selling. Later In the
day Paris advices were a trihe encouraging
IN tone and the foreign selling was replaced
by purchases of Union Pacific and several
OF the low-priced issues.
Locally the most confident buying CENTER

ing by the most conservative interests in
the street
While other stocks Of reorsanized roads
nave been pressed upon the attention Of the
financial community, Atchison has been left
to considerable extent to complete its re-
habiiitation almost unnoticed Those most
!amiliar with the capacity of the property

Doth stock and bonds, and now 1t is prom
lsed that the underlying merit will be as
tuily exploited as that Of It's neighbors.
Al one time rumor was circulated
about the room that dividend had already
been declared upon the preferred stock
ms announcement was trif1a premature,
put that there Is every reason to expect a
dividend Is not denied
The Northern Pacific issues were sold
literally for a time, but later the Gus
tomary support came in and forced both
common and preferred stock into SYM
pathy with the general upward movement.
An advance of per cent in Chicago and
northwestern ana good buying of Omaha
were features of the mornings market in
spite of the general reactionary tendency
elsewhere.
The movement in Sugar and Tobacco was
about steady, fractional gains and reces-
slons from the opening level making I'D the
result of the days business in them. With
the condition of the peace negotiations
there is no obstacle to improvement in the
present market.
There has been liberal profit taking,
prompted largely by the Paris situa ton
but there has been no significant change in
the Strong-box or investment holdings
Slightly higher rates for call loans are re-
garded as entirely likely in the near future
but this prospect is not wholly undesira-
bic. Should earnings continue to increase
and trade volumes continue to demonstrate
the rapid progress of the commercial great
ne IS of the nation, the interest rate as
fixed by these elements of prosperity should
scarcely become a deterrent influence. The
foundation of the present market is I'M
usually broad. and it would be entirely ra-
tional that this circumstance should find
reflection in prices unusually high.

SPAIN AND The O,HlGGlNS

London. June 2s.-The report that Spain
has purchased the Chilean armored cruis-
er O'Higgins. very powerful vessel o.
$500 tons, and steaming q knots. now
receives some credence- II appears that
the O'Higgins was very recently offered
to the United States for 5000, 900. but, It
Is added, the authorities al Washington
declined to purchase her. considering the
price TO be twice her value The United
States embassy here has reports from
several sources that Spain has purchased
the O'Higgtns, but the Armstrong;, who
built the vessel, deny that she has been
sold.
A Spanish transport loaded with sailors
left Corunna on June 10 for an unknown
destination, and It Is surmised that the
sailors were to be transferred to the
O'Higgins. which was last reported 10
have arrived at the Cape Verde Islands
on June Is from Newcastle.
Two Chinese cruisers which are reported
to have been purchased by Spain are
probably the two vessels OF 5000 tons
each which have been In course Of con-
struction at stettin. They will not be
ready for several months. They were Of
fered to the United States and declined
