WASHINGTON.
Single Tax Issue and Light Vote
Defeated FusiOnists.

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 9.-Returns
from the state of Washington are yet
incomplete, but enough are at hand
to make it certain that the Republicans
have overcome the fusion majority of
$4,000 two years ago, elected both con-
gressmen and two supreme court JUS
tees by a majority of at least 5000.
Later returns will it is thought, in
crease rather than decrease this esti-
mate. The legislature, which will
elect a United States senator. will be
Republican on joint ballot by at least
forty, out of membership of 112 This
estimate gives the fusionists all the
doubtful districts. They retain control
of the senate. The legislature now
stands: Senate, Republicans, Is; flu
sion, 10; house, Republicans, 81; fu-
SIGN, IL.
The two amendments to the state
observation-disclosures suffrage and To-
cal option in municipal taxation-are
Overwhelmingly defeated. The Repub-
licans attribute their victory largely to
the latter amendment, which thew
made direct issue, claiming that it
was Single tax" They also assign
credit to the sentiment in favor of
sustaining the national administration.
The fusionists ascribe their defeat to
the light vote, which was from Is. 900
to 10000 less than two years ago. and
to the apprehension that single tax was
an issue.

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 9.-Returns by
counties tonight, which come with pro-
voking slowness, indicate a scaling off
of Republican gains Of last night and
to-day, making the state ticket in
doubt, and so close that the official
count may be required. The legislature
is probably Republican on joint ballot,
but Senator Allen will not concede it.
Neither state committee make such en-
travagant claims as last night Secre
tary Thompson, of the fusion commit
tee, conceded the election of Republi-
can congressman in the First and Sec
ond districts, but claimed the other
four, admitting the Fourth and Fifth
were close On the state ticket and
legislature, he said:
1.-THE result is in Doubt, and may not
be known until the official count Is
made"
Chairman Schneider, Of the Republi-
can committee, said he could see no
reason to materially change his pre-
vious estimate of 5000 to 5000 for the
state ticket. The legislature, he said,
was Republican sure.

Unit on Foreign Relations.
PARIS, Nov. Recommending upon
the telegraphic reports received here
regarding the result Of the elections
in the United States, Senator Davis
said:
The result Of the elections is of
course very gratifying to me, as a
Republican. 1t approves the general
policy Of the administration and the
principles Of the party which it rep
resents. I have not had much con-
Germ as to what effect the result would
have had upon our policy, our war,
treaty or any negotiations with Spain,
for the American people, whatever
their differences as to their internal
concerns, will practically be a unit as
to their foreign relations, as they have
been throughout this war, and always
have been throughout their history in
support of the government, no matter
by what party it may be administered.
The election of Col. Roosevelt is espe-
cially gratifying to me on account of
our long personal friendship"
The Spaniards here are not gratified
by the results of the elections, though
there is no reason to believe that the
attitude of the American peace COM
nissioners has been changed by the
elections

ODDITIES OF POISONING.
Some May Eat WiGe Impunity Ger
tain Foods Which, Are Rank
Poisens to Others

FOlSChS TO FOCneHs.
The constitutional differences and
peculiarities which exist among indi-
viduals should always be carefully
watched and considered. One person
can handle poison ivy with impunity,
while another is poisoned if only in
the vicinity of the vine and without
contact Some members of a family
residing in malarial district will suf-
fer regularly with chills and fever,
while other members will not be at all
affected.
Food that is actually poisonous to
some persons will not so act on others.
One person may eat all kinds of green
fruit and vegetables with impunity,
while another person could do so only
at the risk of life. Certain kinds Of
fish are actually poisonous to some peo-
pie and perfectly wholesome to others.
1t is this peculiar condition of the
system which constitutes the danger
point in the individual case and should
be prudently observed by each one for
himself. Intestinal arrangements fire.
quently arise from and are aggravated
by certain kinds of food. Thus per-
son affected with kidney or liver trou-
bic should not eat very white bread,
since the extreme wilderness is often
produced by the use of alum with an
inferior article of -four, and as alum
is known to be poisonous in its effects
on sound constitution, this Is why
alum baking powder is never used by
people of judgment and discretion.
More of earthly happiness depends
upon what we eat than many people
realize, and it is for this reason that
the different states are, one by one,
passing pure-food laws

lor Riddle, the Populist state chair
man, practically comedies the defeat of
Vincent for congress in the Fifth and
Of Jerry Simpson in the Seventh. The
Republican leaders confidently claim
that Chester I. Long has defeated
Simpson in the Seventh and that CAL
derhead has defeated Congressman
Vincent In the Fifth. IF these claims
shall prove correct, Edwin Ridgley, Of
the Third district, will be the only
Populist candidate elected to congress
The Republicans elect two state SEN
ators, which gives them eleven mem
bers in that body. They also elect
mir ety-seven representatives out of
125. This gives them q majority of
fffty-two on joint ballot in the legis-
lature, and insures the election of a
Republican state printer.

BRITISH VIEW.
Democratic Gains Rebuke to Mis-

LONDON, Nov. .9.-The comment
made by the afternoon papers on the
result of the elections In the United
States is mainly congratulations ex-
tended to Col. Roosevelt on his vic
tory in the contest for the governor
ship Of New York state.
The Westminster Gazette expresses
the opinion, however, that .'the Demo-
cratic gains are merely the expression
of popular opinion of the shameful
acknowledgement of the war depart
ment," and adds: '-The elections will
give Spain little cause to revive the
old hope of division among the
Americans, and the Spanish commits
sioners will be wise if they abandon
all hopes that the Democratic sue
cesses will prove advantageous to
Spain.*

Knoxville, Tenn. Aug. 16.-Reports from
Beech Greek add additional horrors to ths
cloudburst In the mountains last Friday
night. In addition to the seventeen per-
sons reported drowned, latest reports in
clude the names Of John Conk and family.
William Tunnel and family. Thomas
Eagan and family. and Patience and
Vance MOrelock.
It Is not known how many persons can
be numbered In the fatalities, but con-
servative estimate will place the list OF
additional killed at twelve. making the
total dead as estimated. twenty-nine. The
latest reports also state that the cloud
burst went down tho Green county side
of Chimney Top Mountain, at the summit
where 1t fell. and that fifteen persons
were reported killed there.
In addition to the drowned. thirteen
persons were injured. among them being
william Figon. The injuries of none are
fatal.
The damage to property may prove
much greater than was at first anticipate
ed. This is due to the fact that the corn
crop in the Beech Creek district was
much better than for years. The stricken
community Is a rich. mountainous farm
region. and all its agriculture has been
washed away by the food. Beech Creek
is twenty-five feet deep and is recedins
very slowly.

SLICK CONFIDENCE OPERATORS
Washington Detectives on the Look.
out for q Gang of SyvindIers

Headquarters detectives are on the look
out for members Of an organized gang of
swindlers and confidence men, who are
operating in Eastern cities. Reports have
been received recently from New York
Philadelphia; and Baltimore about the
work of these men. and there is reason
10 believe that already they have sue
ceeded in making a haul in Washington.
About two months ago a couple of men
opened place Of business in Phfladel-
phia- They purported to be real estate
and insurance brokers, and did a side
line business by advancing money to
merchants who desired to enlarge their
business. They were promoters. and en-
deayored to launch manufacturing COM
panies. One morning their numerous CHI
ents discovered that the office was va
cant. and the two men had flown with
considerable sums secured from different
Quaker City merchants.
Less than two weeks ago Baltimore
was visited by a similar concern. The
detectives are not certain whether or not
they were the same men. II they We're
they had changed their appearance. An
office was opened in the business part of
the city, and the strangers were soon
known as safe investors in real estate
iuSufdhce <ADout IOuT udyS ago
their clients found the office closed. and
no one knew where the brokers had gone
to. 1t was during this time that DR..
Roose. Of this city. was visited by a we'll
dressed man. who claimed friendship with
Ed. Rice, the theatrical man. DR.. Roose
was anxious to become a theatrical star.
and his visitor thought he couid induce
Rice to give him position where he
could dance the ballet with financial suc-
cess. OF course, there was a confederate
and one day a telegram was received by
the Stranger. who called himself Mr..
Mann, saying that Rice would hold a
place open for him. The telegram asked
for a loan of $500. and Mr.. Mann re-
ferred 1t to DR.. Rooss, who put I'D the
money. Later another telegram came.
and DR.. Roose was induced to part with
$500 more.
An investigation by local detectives has
convinced them that the men who muict-
ed DR.. Roose are Of the same gang who
have been operating in Philadelphia and
Baltimore.
Word has been sent out to the princi-
pal cities to look out for the crooks, and
Detective AL Gault, of Baltimore. and
Detective Hamm, Of Philadelphia, are
engaged In trying to trace them to their
present hiding place.
close watch Is also being kept here
for their appearance with the insurance
and real estate scheme. and descriptions
of the men have been furnished the Do
lice for their information.
