probably stand 16 Republicans to IL
Democrats, a Democratic gain of IL. In
old New York city (Manhattan borough)
no Republican was returned, and nOta :
BILE feature of the election was the de-
feat by Captain William Astor Chanler
of Lemuel f. Quigg for congress in the
Fourteenth district, where the former
overcame Republican plurality of H.
100 two years ago. and won by about
5000. The state legislature will be Re-
publican. on joint ballot. by 32 votes
ensuring the election of Republican
to succeed Senator Edward Murphy, Jr.
on the expiration of his term on March
9, 1899. The state senate will stand p
Republicans to 90 Democrats, a Demo-
cratic gain of 2. The Republicans VIII
have SO members of the assembly and the
Democrats g. This is a Republican gain
Of II.

New York, Nov. 1O-Theodore RoOse-

seat as governor, according to ii brief
which ]. j. Russell has prepared for tn"
Tammany law committee. Mr.. Rus

paigrers. has had experience in testins ;

a question, touching the right Of two
Republican members to their seats. II
the courts should hold Mr. Roosevelt
ineligible. the Office would not fall. as
many think, to Woodruff. but to Van
Wycl., the candidate polling the next
highest number of votes. those for Roosc .
welt being invalid. Mr.. Russell ad-
vances no new facts In the controversy
over Mr.. Roosevelt's nonres.denca
brought about by his Washington and
Oyster Bay affidavits. The procedure
for testing Mr.. ROosevclt's quail ilications
would be an application by citizen To

London, Nov. 10.-All the morning pa
pers comment upon the elections in the
United States but the tendency is to
await the final and full returns before
expressing a decided opinion.
The Times says: The answer of the
American people on the question of for
eign expansion Is halting and ambigu-
ous. 1t is difficult to say that the cleo
tions have confirmed President McIin-
ley's policy; but certainly he has not
been condemned, and. therefore. he has
no inducement to abandon the attitude
he has assumed regarding the Philip
pines.
The Times, in common with other pa
pers. comments upon Mr. Roosevelt's
chances of succeeding to the presidency
and expresses its qualification at the
victory of sound money. though ap-
parently there is little chance of cur
Cency reform
The New York correspondent of The
Daily News says: The elections were
disastrous for the Republicans in the
house of representatives. and there is
no doubt that the popular vote is anti
impal ialistic. Commenting editorially
upon this opinion. The Daily News says:
TT may, therefore. be the senate and tn"
presidency against a popularity elected
house 1t will be interesting to study
the effect of the vote on the peace me-
gOtiations.'
The Westminster Gazette expresses
the opinion. however. that the Demo-
cratic gains are merely the expression of
popular opinion of the shameful mis-
mana cement in the war department.
and adds: The elections will give Spain
cause to revive the old hope of Il division
among the Americans and the Spanish
commissioners will he wise if they
abandon all hopes that the Democratic
successes will prove advantageous to
Spain.
