WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-Intense in
terest is manifested in the election re-
turns here. The results of the various
state and congressional district cam
paigns, to which so much attaches in
Washington, attracted thousands to the
bulletin boards in front of the newspa-
per offices. The theaters and clubs re-
ceived bulletins last night. The two
congressional headquarters had spec al
wires and long distance telephone serv-
ice for those who were figuring up the
result of the battle for the control of
the next house of representatives,.
Many of the cabinet officers and high

HAVANA, Nov. 9. - No business
whatever was transacted yesterday by

ly prolonged delay Of the United States

sites and arrange for transportation.

time Democratic majority was approx
mated. Van Wycks vote being about
$4,000 greater than that of the Repub-
ncan candidate. This latter result was
helped In some meaure by the result in
the borough of Brooklyn (Kings coun-
ty). which in 1896 gave Black (Rep) q
plurality OF 2S6S2, but yesterday gave a
Democratic plurality of about 1880.
Brooklyn is the home Of Judge Van
Wyck. but this fact does not wholly
explain the practical reversal Of plural
tiles, which, Il IS probable, IS attributa-
bic to the luSewarmness of the friends
of Jacob Worth, who was deposed from
the craftsmanship OF the county COM
mittee as consequence of his opposi-
tion to the plans OF Senator Plat in the
mayoralty contest last year.
The returns from many counties up
the state were incomplete and IN some
cases missing altogether. The indica-
lions. being computations upon the fig

PEACE COMMISSION.
Conferences Are Suspended For the
Present.

PARIS, Nov. 9.-The Spanish-Ameri-
can peace commissioners yesterday no.
titled the French minister of foreign af-
fairs. NJ. Delcasse. that the Joint session
which was to have taken place yester-
day afternoon would not be held and
that they would notify the minister
when they had determined upon the
date of another meeting.
Later a semiodicial note was issued
announcing that the peace commission
ers had informed the French minister
of foreign affairs that their conferences
had been suspended.
Inquiry developed the fact that the
failure to hold a meeting of the COM
missions yesterday was only due to the
Americans asking for a postponement
of the joint session until today in order
to allow time for the translation of the
reply of the United States to the latest
Spanish propositions regarding the
Philippine islands, which was received
here yesterday morning.

We're the encouraging words which were
passed along the line.
The more conservative Democrats
watched the telltale figures as they APP
peared on the several sheets of canvas
and said that the city vote was away
behind expectations. A prominent Tam
many leader who stood near The Trib-
une building said: ivan Wyck is beat
en-, and New York city has defeated
him. The vote OF the state for Roose-
Welt will smother our local advantage,
and / think the colonel will win by TO-
600 at least" That this man had
scrutinized the returns carefully was
soon clearly demonstrated. Then one
of the leading Tammany newspapers
conceded the victory TO Roosevelt by
10000 plurality. This concession was
hailed with delight by the followers of
Colonel Roosevelt. At o'clock the
Democrats had given up all hope of
success and began TO figure how far
ahead their opponents ticket would so.
Rough estimates were made that
Roosevelt would win by from $4,000 to
10000, but some Of the more sanguine
Democratic organs kept flashing the
cheering news that Van Wyck's MAORI

Of the state. These claims only soften

NEW HAVEN. Nov. 9.-The result Of
the election in this state shows a gen.
eral victory for the Republican ticket.
The maiorities of the candidates on the
state ticket win average fully 5000
with some changes likely when remote
districts are officially heard from. The
vote shows a falling off Of about 5000
from that cast at the election Of two
years ago. The Republican candidates
appear TO have suffered most from the
general decrease in the vote, but no par
ticular disaffection can be said TO be
shown by the general result. The only
real contest was in the Second district.

assembly.
The returns also indicate that the Re-
publlcans have elected their candidates

vote for a state election. and at some
