CALCULATING RESULTS.
Three Congressional Districts Doubtful
and interesting Contests On.

Boston, Nov. 6-The congressional
campaign in this state, which has prac-
tically closed, finds three of the usually
republican districts somewhat in doubt
These are the fifth, seventh and tenth,
while, owing to split in the Nparty, the
usually overwhelmingly democratic
ninth district, now represented by Hon.
John Fitzgerald, is also uncertain.
In the fifth district Senator Joseph j.
Flynn of Lawrence has been making a
vigorous fight for Congressman Knox s
seat. and it is generally conceded that
the contest will be close.
In the seventh district Mayor W. L..
Ramsdel of Lynn has Waged an ag-
gressive campaign, and the indications
are that if Senator Ernest w. Roberts,
the republican candidate is successful,
IL will be by a majority considerably
smaller than that given to Congress
man Barrett in the same district two
years ago.
In the ninth district the independent
democratic candidacy of Senator James
A. Galliyan and the war record of
former State Representative Franz
Hugo Krebs will make considerable
difference in Congressman Fitzgerald's
usually safe plurality.
In the tenth ulSli4tt Int NoAtSSt pS-
tween Samuel j. Barrows, the present
republican incumbent, and Henry F.
Naphen the democratic candidate
PROMISES to be close, and both parties
are confident of success.
The republicans concede that the
vote for Bruce for governor will ex-
coed 100000, although the democrats
claim 1850, 900. Last year Gov. Wolcotts
vote was 165075. and the combined
votes of Williams, democratic, and
Everett, national democrat, was 9S,O31.

PASTOR INSANE.
A Congregation Waits in
Vain for New Minister.

Saco, Me, Nov. 6.-While temporarily
insane, Rev. George e. Nichols of New
Haven, Conn, who recently accepted a
call TO the pastorate of the Saco Bap-
fist Church, and was to have begun his
duties today, left the home Of Charles
E. Tuxbury, where he was stopping
early this morning, and UP to late
hour tonight he had not been found. A
large congregation gathered at the
Baptist church this morning to listen
to his initial sermon but, after waiting
for the service to begin, they were told
that the pastor had mysteriously dis
appeared and could not be located.
He left the residence of Dea. Tux
bury, on Main street, shortly after Z
a. NJ, and when he did not come to
breakfast the family became alarmed
The police were then notified and, ac-
companied by a large number of the
church members a search was insti-
tuted. The woods and unoccupied
buildings in the vicinity We're searched,
without avail. Late this afternoon the
following message was received by b.
H. Winsow from Mr.. Nichols, which
was dated at Portland; Am better;
going home.'
After leaving the Western Union
office in Portland, Where the telegram
was filed at 22T p. M, no trace of the
pastor could be obtained. 1t is thought
that insanity was brought on by over
work as Mr. Nichols recently grad
uated from a theological school and
has been working early and late set
Ting up his affairs in New Haven to
come here. He is about AZ years old
and has a wife and two sons. His dis
appearance caused a great sensation in.

offered for the safe return Of Mr..

BOLD ROBBERS
Capture Vermont Citizens
and Rob a Safe.

Riohford VT, Nov. 6.-Three daring
men blew open the vault of the Rich
ford savings bank and trust company
early this morning. and while they on
ly succeeded in securing $500 in stamps,
they escaped detection by capturing
two passers-by and holding them pris-
oners until they had made Ave unsuc-
safe. which contained a large amount
of money. The thieves were discovered
by w. p Greene, who was passing the
bank building at the time, and heard
a suspicious noise. Green went up to
the window and peered into the bank
ing rooms, but before he realized what
was going on he was seized by two of
the men and dragged into the building
A gag was quickly placed in his
mouth and then he was bound hand
and foot to chair, While one of the
thieves stood over him with a drawn
revolver. Scarcely had the work of
securing Greene been completed when
the thieves discovered another citizen
gazing in through the window. The
second man proved to be James Tay-
lor and with the same rapidity he was
also bounced upon. gagged and bound
to a chair beside Greene.
The attempt on the inner safe, which
had been interrupted by Greene and
Tayor, was resumed, and five charges
Of fine gun powder were blown into the
cracks of the safe and ignited. but
still the steel wHhstood the repeated
explosions. The helpless men in the
chair saw every part of the proceed
ings. although they were powerless to
interfere 1t was an hour or more be-
fore the thieves gave up their attempt
on the stout little inner safe and were
obliged TO be satisfied with the contents
of the weaker boxes, which contained
only postage and revenue stamps. AL
three then departed noiselessly and
drove out of town in a carriage, going
towards the Canadian border
Greene and Taylor finally liberated
themselves and gave the alarm. A pos
Sc was at once formed, and ell day the
surrounding country has been searched
but without the slightest trace of the
three men. 1t may be possible that
they succeeded in boarding the Cana
dian Pacific train for Montreal. The
inside of the vault was badly wrecked
by the explosion, and it is estimated
that the damage will amount to $300t
which is fully covered by insurance.

CRISIS AT HAND.
Friction in Newfoundland
Threatens the Cabinet.

St Johns, N. f., Nov. 6.-There is a
serious cabinet crisis in Newfoundland
Sir Herbert Murray, the governor. de-
mands the resignation of Mr.. Morine,
minister of finance. The ostehsible rea-
SOC is that Mr.. Morine is the general
counsel of Mr.. Reed. the railway con-
tractor but the real cause is the con-
tinued friction between Gov Murray
and the minister.
Mr.. Morine, in rendering his resig-
nation, points out that Sir VIM. White
way, former premier, and Messrs.
Emerson and Norris, members of the
late cabinet held a similar relation to
the contractor and that Sir Herbert
Murray acquiesced in the arrangement
in all three cases.
He reminds the governor also that
he has been aware ever since April last
of his (Morine's) relation to Mr. Reed,
and insists that the governors omis-
sion to interfere before, stamps his ac-
ton now as personal and Yindictive.
1t is feared that complications will
arise, wrecking the cabinet and ser
iously prejudicing the negotiations re-
garding the French shore treaty all
ready under way before the conference
for settlement of disputes between the
United States and Canada.

Changes That
Are Possible.
COMING ELECTION
Means Much in Choice of
State Legislatures.

Washington, Nov. 6.-The control of
the United States senate will be deter
mined very largely by the result of the
elections next Tuesday, when 90 states
elect legislatures which will in turn Sc
lect senators. The present party
strength in the senate is as follows:
Republicans, 40; democrats, "a: popu-
lists, s; silver republicans, 6.
This gives majority to one party,
and it has proved a fruitful source of
doubt in legislation influenced by party
lines The terms of thirty of the pres
ent senators are about to expire and
I'm most of these cases the legislatures
chosen next Tuesday win elect sue
ceSsors. In several cases, however,
legislatures already have been chosen
and senators elected viz: Aldrich of
Rhode Island Daniel. of Virginia: Nc
Comas, to succeed German in Mary
land Hanna of Ohio; Money, of Mis-
sissippi; Proctor, of Vermont, and the
legislature OF Maine which has been
elected, but has not vet chosen a SEN
ator In Oregon also Simon has been
elected TO fill a vacancy. These changes
already made give net gain of two in
the republican vote: McComas of Mary
land and Simon of Oregon.
The remaining % senators are yet to
be chosen. Those who are about to
retire are: Alien, populist, of Nebras-
ka: Bate, democrat. of Tennessee; Bur
rows, republican, of Michigan; Can
non, silver republican, Utah; Clark,
republican, Wyoming: Cockrell, demo-
GRAFT Missouri; Davis, republican, of
Minnesota Faulkner, democrat, of
West Virginia; Gray democrat, of Del
aware: Hawley, republican, of Connec-
ticut; Lodge, republican, of Massachu-
sets; Mantle, silver republican of
Montana, Mills, democrat, of Texas;
Mitchell, democrat, of Wisconsin, Muir
ply, democrat, of New York; Pasco,
democrat, of Florida; Quay, republican,
Pennsylvania; Roche, democrat, North
Dakota, Smith, democrat, New Jersey;
Stewart, silver republican, Nevada;
Turpie, democrat Indiana; White, dem
ocrat, California, and Wilson, repub-
lican Washington.
In several of these cases the election
OF the present incumbents is expected,
but in a quite large number of them
much doubt exists. The republican
managers are placing reliance on the
fact that they need only a. few votes to
assure them clear majority. while the
democrats, populists and silver repub-
licans would have to carry most all of
the doubtful legislatures in order to
prevent a. republican majority.
The states considered most in doubt
are West Virginia, New York, Penn
sylvania, North Dakota, New Jersey,
Indiana, California, Washington and
Nebraska conflicting claims being
made In each state Among senate Of
ficials the opinion prevails that the
anomalous conditions now prevailing of
a senate without a majority will end
with The coming election, and that the
legislatures then chosen will give as
surance of majority rule in the upper
branch of congress after March 4 next.

SANTIAGO AFFAIRS.
Insurgent Officers Arrested for Robbery
Various Postal Appointments Made.

Santiago de Cuba, Nov. 6.-An insur-
gent captain and lieutenant have been
arrested at Guantanamo for holding
up man on the street, taking away
his machete, which they afterwards
sold for $3.50. They denied that they
were under any obligation to pay for
it, and claimed exemption from trial
and imprisonment, on the ground of
their rank in the Cuban army.
Mr.. Kemoner has been promoted to
be postal agent of tie military depart
ment OF Santiago. Mr. John GArst has
been appointed postmaster of Santiago
CITY, and Mr.. Hugo Heiderman finan-
cial clerk. There are now eight post
offices in the department, Santiago.
Daiquiri, Guantanamo, Barracoa, San
Luis, Manzanillo, Gibara and Holguin.
Many people are arriving hero with
letters from senators. One man is vir-
tually appointed by Secretary AIger as
collector of customs ut ManzaniIo. He
expects about three times the salary of
the Cuban now holding the position.
Owing to pressure of public business.
Gen. Leonard Wood, governor of the
department, has postponed his trip to
Guantanamo for day or Two. but
he will probably leave before the middle
of the week.

A VICIOUS ATTACK.
Havana Paper Declares That United States
is Governed BY Rum and ignorance.

IS Governed ny KUN ana ignorance.
Havana, via Key West. Fla. Nov. s.
delayed in transmission)-Al Be
maica, was assaulted on Tuesday last
by Spanish officer, who struck him
on the side of the head for wearing a
gold scarfpin in the shape of five
| pointed star. The officer ordered Be-
| tancourt under arrest and sent him be-
fore Gen. Aro!nas, military governor of
| Havana, who ordered him Imprisoned.
Mr.. Jerome, British vice consul, on be-
ing notified of the assault presented
himself at the captain generals palace
to protest against an act Of brutality,
and to demand the instant release of
Betancourt
Gen. Blanco at first attempted to put
Mr.. Jerome off. Then he said it would
be an extremely difficult matter to re-
lease the prisoner, as he had not been
arrested by the order Of Orden Publico,
burt by an army officer, and had been
sent to tail by the military governor.
But Mr.. Jerome retained a Arm atti-
tude, insisting that he would remain at
the palace until Betaneourt was re-
leased Finally his persistence was
successful. After an interchange Of
messages between Gen. Blanco and
Gen. Arolas, Mr.. Jerome all the while
refusing to bulge from the palace, Be
tancourt was released at late hour.
These are the bare facts of an assault
which. under other conditions, might
pass with slight notice, but which is
significant, coming on the heels Of a
threat made by Gen. Arolas to get even
with Englishuen in Havana because
of protest recently made by Mr. Mac
Lean, manager of the marine railway
owned by an English company, against
the use to which the railway stations
had been put by Spanish soldiers sta
toned to guard them on Sundays and
holidays. The conduct of the soldiers
was grossly indecent and excited the
Indignation Of everybody living in the
Vicinity of the stations. When Mr..
MacLean lodged his complaint Gen
Arolas, who is extremely hostile to the
English as well as the Americans, de-
clared that he would get even with the
Saxon rabble."
