Seattle, Wash, Nov. 9.-Returns from
the state of Washington are yet iucom-

certain that the Republicans have over
come the fusion majority of 1900 two
years ago. elected both congressman and
two Supreme Court justices by a majority
of at least 5000. Later returns will it is
thought, increase rather than decrease this
estimate.
The legislature which will elect a Unit
ed States senator, will be Republican on
joint ballot by at least 40 out of a mem
bership of 112. These estimates give the
fusionists all the doubtful districts.
The two amendments to the state con-
stitution, woman suffrage and local OBJ
ton, municipal taxation, are overwhelm-
ingly defeated.

j. Thomas Newsome, who was selected
by the senior class of the law department
of Howard University to accompany the
remains Of William R. Dickerson, late an
honored member of the class, to his home
at Winona, N. j., made eulogistic remarks
at the funeral. Among other things he
said: "Obedient to the wishes of the faculty
and students of the law department Of
Howard University, 1 have the honor to
stand here today to represent them by eX-
tending to you their sympathy and eX-
pressing to you the deep sorrow and sense
of loss they feel, in common with you all,
in the death of that most excellent young
man, William r. Dickerson. The great
love and esteem in which the young man
was held by the entire school and faculty
made every student a volunteer to add
whatever token was at his command to the
sacred memory of the deceased.
Il am not surprised to hear on all sides
expressions of regret that one whose life
was SO full of hope and promise should
be cut down just at the time when the la
borS, privations and self-sacrifices he had
borne for years without a murmur were
about to bear fruit. / can and do fully I'M
derstand that you stand today in the
shadow Of this bitter sorrow the finite
vision seeks to know why the taking off
of our dear young friend should have been
so early; why he was not permitted to en-
ter upon the career he had anticipated, fol-
low the pathway his youthful aspirations
surveyed. We do not know the secret; only
God knows, and to His unerring wisdom
in resignation we should bow"
