buyers have not lately shown any dispo-
sitiOn to purchase, which, coupled with
the expected usual dullness OF refined

weakening tendency for the time being.

is expected that they will be supplied by

an Embassadorship.
Mckinley Would Send HIS Friend
to Court OF St. James-Senator
Hoar Declines.

WASHINGTON.-Senator George +.
Hoar, of Massachusetts, to whom the
President offered the English mission,
has positively declined the honor and
the President has asked Secretary Long
to accept the place. 1t Is not likely
that Mr.. Long will accept, although he
has not yet declined. His inclinations
are those of studious man OF affairs,
and he does not care for the active
social life he would be obliged to lead
as Ambassador TO the Court OF st.
James. IL was said tonight that Mr..
Long had the offer of the Secretary
ship of State after 1t was decided that
Mr.. Day should retire to become
member of the Peace Commission, but
declined on account of the eXacting
social duties made necessary by that
official place.
There Is no man in the Cabinet for
whom the President has a higher re-
gard than for Secretary Long. 1t is
well known that Mr. Mckinley esteems
Mr.. Long as one of the ablest OF his
counsellors, and between the two men
there is feeling approaching affec-
ton. The President is anxious to show
additional honor to his Secretary of
the Navy, and while he would be sorry
to part with his services. particularly
after Mr.. Long demonstrated his great
fitness for holding the naval portfolio
in time OF war, Mr.. Mckinley feels that
he should not allow his personal pref
erencee to stand in the way OF ac-
knowledging TO the country how much
he feels indebted to so trusted an ad-
wiser.

MCGEE in Allegheny county and the fol-

The anti-Quay people in this city dispute
these figures and claim that they have
elected sufficient members of the Assem-

Quay.
Senator Quay, in a telegram from his
home this morning, comedies the election
of two Democrats to the Legislature from
his home county Of Beaver by 400 majority.
This is a Democratic gain.
The delegation from Pennsylvania in the
next house will comprise twenty-one Repub-

of 8. The present delegation is composed of
81 Republicans and 3 Democrats. The dis
tricts gained by the Democrats are the
Eighth, Twelfth, Thirteenth, Seventeenth,
Twenty-seventh and Twenty y-eighth. The
successful Democrats in these districts are
respectively: l.. H. Barber, Stanley w.
Davenport, James w. Ryan, Rufus X Polk,
Joe C. Sibley and James X. p. Hall. In
each of these districts, except the Seven

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.--The latest figures
obtainable show that Roosevelt's plurality
in the state is not far from 10000. Only ten
counties in the state give Van Wyck plurali-
ties, and they were all localities swayed by
such cities as New York-Kings, Queens and
Erie. The falling off in Roosevelt S plurali-
ty, as compared with Blacks in 1896, is due
to a decrease in the Republican vote up the
state OF 6l, 900 and in Greater New York of
62 900. Against this Van Wyck gained 90
900 above the Harlem and $4,000 below it,
as compared with Porter two years ago.
The result on congressman in this state
seems to have surprised even the Democrats
themselves. Nineteen of their candidates
We're elected, the Republicans getting but
fifteen. In the present house the New York
delegation stands twentyseven Republicans
to six Democrats. In the Greater New York
districts all the Democratic candidates were
elected.
After the gubernatorial contest, as much
interest was taken in the state legislature
as in anything The state senate will be
Republican by four and the assembly by

Blanco's departure from Cuba set

growing out of dissatisfaction of the
Spanish soldiers, who want their pay.
The peace commissioners meet in
joint session at Paris and the Ameri-
cans answer Spain's latest claims, in
sisting on the right of the commission
to discuss the Philippine question and
the further right of the American
forces at Manila to collect customs and
restrain the Spanish soldiers.
The political complexion of both
senate and house is in doubt and will
remain so until full returns are re-
ceived from many doubtful districts;
in any event, party majorities will be
exceedingly narrow.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9-The steamer
Australia arrived tonight, seven days from
Honolulu, and is in quarantine. Among
her passengers were thirty soldiers afflicted
with malarial fever. The majority of the
sick men are members of the cavalry who
were detailed to garrison the islands. The
invalids are in charge of Captain Hardin of
the regular army and Major Chase of the
New York volunteers, both of whom are
ill. The voyage improved the condition OF
the men. There is considerable sickness
among the troops at Honolulu, but the pre-.

WASHINGTON
The Late Fusion Majority Is Not In
View

SEATTLE, 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 $1,000 two years ago and elected
both congressman and two supreme court
justices by majority of at least 5000. Later
returns will, it is thought, increase rather
than diminish this estimate.
The legislature, which will elect United
States senator, will be Republican on joint
ballot by at least forty. This estimate
gives the fusionists all the doubtful districts.
They retain control of the senate. The
two amendments to the state constitution,
woman suffrage and local option in mu-
ncipal taxation are overwhelmingly de.
feated.

The Silver Party Takes All but One
Office

CARSON, New, Nov. 9-The vote for
governor is very close, but Sadler, silver,
claims his reelection by 800 majority over
William Mcmillan, Republican. For con-
gress, Newlands, Silver Democrat, is re-
elected by 5000 majority. The balance of
the state ticket is conceded to the silver
party, with the exception of superintendent
of public instruction.
The construction of the new legislature is
matter Of conjecture. Four-ffths of the
members will belong to the silver party, but
as some are pledged to Senator Stewart for
reelection, and the remainder are not, the
latter may join with the Republicans, Dem
ocrats and Independents in the organization
