1t is reported by those processing to
know that Congress Is disposed TO en-
act legislation in aid of American ship
ping, but that the difficulty will come
in agreeing upon a plan. There was
once a man who set out to teach his
horse to live without eating. Accord
ing to his statement of the case, just
as the horse had learned to live with
out eating he died. We hope that Con-
gress will learn how to protect Ameri-
can shipping before our merchant ma
rine which is engaged in the ocean ear
rying trade is entirely dead. 1t is near

The duty on citrus fruit is none too
high This section owes deep debt
of gratitude to those who gave ii SO
ample protection from foreign eompe-

even to the Democrats who made q

But we must not forget their peculiar
inconsistency in voting against the

THE CHAIRMEN SUM UP.
Both Claim the House But the Demo
Gratis Seem to Have 1t.

Washington, ID. c., November ST. A.
M.-Chairman Babcock, of the Republic
can Congressional committee. has just
made the following statement to the
Associated Press:
while / am satisfied that the Republi-
cans will control the House of Represen-
tatives in the Fifty-Sixth Congress it is
impossible at this hour to indicate what
our majority in the House will be. Thus
far we have no definite returns from
Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, or
Kansas. Ohio has elected fifteen Re-
publicans certainly, and two districts
seem to be in doubt. From Michigan
the returns indicate solid Republican
delegation. Representative Hawley is
reelected in Texas. Vincent Boering is
elected in the Eleventh Kentucky dis
trict and Samuel j. Pugh is probably
elected in the Ninth Kentucky. The
election of George Dawson in Eigth Ken
tucky is in doubt with chances seemingly
in favor of his election. Advices from
MARYLAND show that we have elected four
Republicans certainly. Nineteen mem
bers of the delegation from New York
State and perhaps more will be Republi-
cans. /. II. Fisher, of the Fourth New
York district, Brooklyn, Is the only mem
Der we have elected in Greater New
York district. The election of Cochran
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1898-11-09

! in the Nineteenth New York and of
Mahony in the Thirty Second, Buffalo,
district, is in doubt.
Prom Pennsylvania we have thus far
received meagre returns but the indica-
tons are that we have thus far sus-
tanned some losses there. kirkpatrick of
the Eighth district and Arnold of the
Twenty Eighth, seem to have been de-
lfeated.
Unofficial 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 fig
ures which 1 gave out last week"
The figures referred to by Mr.. Bah
cock We're contained in his prediction that
the Republicans would have a majority
over all of about %.
Since early evening Secretary Kerr, Of
the Democratic Congressional committee
and a small corps of political statisticians
have been working on returns received
at Democratic Congressional headquar-
tiers.
TO the Associated Press, Secretary
Kerr said at l o'clock:
"The Republicans have lost control Of
the House Of Representatives. We will
have from 1856 to 100 members and will
organize the House of the Fifty-SiXth
Congress. The majority of the oppOsi-
ton will be from fifteen to twenty oyer
the Republicans and perhaps more. Our
advices indicate Democratic gains in
some of the States as follows: Alabama,
p; Illinois, :; Iowa, !; Kentucky, 3;
Maryland, 2; Massachusetts, 2: Missouri
=: New Jersey, 2; New York, 6; North
Carolina, 2; Pennsylvania, &; Virginia,
3; West Virginia, 1. This is total OF
81. One district in Delaware is doubtful
with the chances in favor of the Demo
Gratis"
In figuring a gain of three in Virginia
Secretary Kerr includes two districts
which elected Democratic Congressman
in 1896 who are unseated by the present
House.

The q. G. LIS New Line Con.
tracted For

The Florence correspondent of the
News and Courier says:
The tlantic Coast Line Company,
which has built number of small
roads in the eastern part of the State,
and which has recently gained access
to upper Carolina by the purchase of
the Charleston and Western Carolina
Railway, is now preparing to build
the connecting link between Den.
mark, on the Manchester and Angus
ia division of that system and Mar
tins on the Charleston and Western
Carolina Railway. The route has al
ready been mapped out by the Coast
Lines engineering corps and the
stakes placed
Your correspondent is reliably in
formed that the contract for the
grading of the roadbed has been let.
and the work is to be completed
within six months. The distance
from Denmark and Martins is only
thirty miles from Martin g to Angus
ia is forty.one miles over the Charles
ton and Western Carolina; from Den.
mark to Augusta over the South Car
DINA and Georgia it is fifty-seven
miles. Hence the distance is about
the same. As soon as the roadbed is
graded the Coast Line will have the
track laid This connecting link will
give the Coast Line direct route
and trackage into Augusta, instead Of
connecting at Denmark with the
South Carolina and Georgia Road.
Once they reach Augusta the exten.
sion of the Coast Line into Georgia,
and possibly toto Florida, will be an
established fact, besides having di-
rect route and connections into the
Piedmont section of this State.

Senor Sagasta.

DR.. J. NJ. Buckley, Of the New
Christian Advocate, one of the ablest
editors in the country, who has trav-
eled much and to good purpose, thus
speaks of the Spanish premier:
"Some of the papers speak dispar-
agingly of Senor Sagasta's ability,
describe him as a mere political
trickster. and some stigmstize him as
coward. They are all ignorant of
the history ofSpain. Sagasta is suit.
able Of comparison, in some cases to
his advantage, with many of the great
English, French. German and Amer
ican statesmen. No orator OF maga-
zine writer needs a better subject
upon which to exhibit all the ability
be possesses than Sagasta's long
political life will furnish He is a
mixture of Lord Beaconsfe!d and
Lord Palmerston. The Madrid cor
respondent of the London Times
writes:
In the course of his long politi-
cal life Sagasta has lived under all
kinds of governments-from repress-
i've absolutism to anarchical repubii-
canism, and ne has taken al active
part in more than one revolution No
other man is more capable of gaug-
ing accurately the real importance Of
any current of public opinion, and of
weighing accurately internal against
external dangers ,"
