SURPRISED THE DEMOCRATS
Elected More Congressman in
New York Than Expected.
ROOSEVELTS PLURALITY 10000
Democratic Candidate Carried Only Coun-
ties in Localities Swayed by the
Larger Cities.
R0OsEVELTs PLURALITY 10000

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-The latest fig
ures obtainable show that Roosevelt's
plurality in the state is not far from
10000. Only 10 counties in the state
gave Van Wyck pluralities and they
were all localities swayed by cities, as
New York, Kings, Queens and Erie.
The falling off in Roosevelt's plurality
as compared with Blacks in 1896 is due
to decrease in the Republican vote up
the state of 81 900 and in Greater New
York of $4,000. Against this Van Wyck
gained 10000 above the Harlem and
SO, 900 below it as compared with Porter
two years ago. The result on congress
men in this state seems to have
Surprised Even Democrats Themselves.
Nineteen of their candidates were elect
ed, the Republicans getting but Is. In
the present house the New York dele
cation stands % Republicans to 6 Dem
ocrats. In Greater New York all the
Democratic candidates were elected.
After the gubernatorial contest as
much interest was taken in the state
Legislature as in anything else. The
state senate was Republican by and
the assembly by IS. Political interest
from viii center about the senatorship.
Already discussion as to the possible
aspirants has begun. So far there is no
announced candidate.

SENATE is REPUBLICAN.

Have Gained Several Seats as the Result of
Tuesdays Election.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-The election
returns establish with certainty that the
United States senate will have Repub-
lican majority after March next. The
present party division of the senate is:
Republicans AZ, Democrats "a, Populists
6, Silver Republicans 6. This was
changed prior to Tuesdays vote by a
Republican gain of 2, viz: McComas
of Maryland, who will succeed German,
and Simon of Oregon, who is elected to
fill vacancy. Of the present RepubE-
can total of 45 the terms of 7 senators
expire March next, leaving 80 hold
over Republicans. To this number the
elections of Tuesday add 10 surely
elected and three probably elected,
making total of4s or more than a
majority over Democrats, Populists and
Silver Republicans. There are 81 Dem
ocratic holdover senators, and to this
number Tuesdays elections add with
certainty and probable, giving total
Of 25 votes. The Populist and Silver
Republican .holdovers number ana this
was increased Tuesday by /, practically
sure. Five state legislatures appear to
be much in doubt, viz: Nebraska,
West Virginia, Montana, Indiana and
Washington, and are not included in

ST. PAUL Nov. 10-John Lind, fusion
candidate for governor, will have not
less than $4,000 plurality in the state
over Eustis, Rep, but Lind is the only
fusion candidate to win. His plurality
may go several thousand above that
stated, Democratic Chairman Rosing
putting the figure at between $4,000 and
10000, which was the claim made by
him two days before election. The
balance of the Republican ticket will be
chosen by majorities even greater than
that for Lind. All seven Republican
congressman have been elected. Eddy,

and thinks more may be possible. Nor
fis, in the close Sixth district, has de-
feated Charles A. Towne by a small
margin, but it may exceed his plurality
of two years ago, when he won by less
than 700. The legislature will be Re-
publican, but not by so great majority
as at one time thought. Already n Re-
publicans are known to have been
elected and but 80 are needed to carry
on joint ballot. As fully half of the
balance are in the doubtful, because un-

REPLY OF AME 7lCANS.
Claims of Spain Regarding the Philippines
Answered.

PARIS, Nov. 1O.-The days session of
the Spanish-American peace commits
sion began at 2:15 p. II. and ended at 3
p. m. When the. meeting opened the
Americans presented to their Spanish
colleagues the answer of the United
States to the claims submitted on Fri
day last in behalf Of Spain. The d0cu-
ment in which the American answer
was set forth consisted of nearly so
sheets of typewriter matter. 1t was a
refutation of the Spanish allegation that
as the words possession" Ownership"
or ''cession' do not occur in the protocol
clause touching upon the Philippine ISL
ands the peace commission has no right
to discuss then! here, and even if
they did so it must be in the light of the
fact of an exterior agreement that
Spain's sovereignty should not be inter
fered with. The American reply also
justiies the occupation of Manila, the
collection of revenues, administering
the government and administering ell
the functions of possession.
1t is quite safe to say that the Amer
leans have made no new propositions re-
garding the possession of the Philip
pines, but confined themselves to q
discussion of the proposals and asser-
lions made by Spain at TIE previous
meeting.

THREATENS EUROPEAN PEACE
Americas Appearance in Asiatic Affairs
Considered Grave and
Serious Event.

LONDON, Nov. 10.-At the Guildhall
banquet last evening the Marquis Of
Salisbury did not announce British
protectorate over Egypt, but he empha-
sized the necessity of being prepared for
all eventuaities. The premier also said
the United States was new and dis
turbing factor in European politics, say
ing:
'The car has invited a congress to
provide for the disarmament of the
world, but while we offer our heartiest
tribute to his motives and are willing to
assist and sympathize in every way un-
til the happy day when his aspirati ons
are crowned with success we must still
provide precautions needful to coun liter
act the dangers surrounding us In
some respects this era, this
Great Epoch in the History of Man,
is marked by unhappy omens. 1t Is the
first year in which the mighty force Of
the American republic has been intro.
duced among nations whose domhions
are expanding and whose instrumeDt is to
q certain extent are war.
81 am not implying the slightest
blame-far from it. am not refusing
sympathy to the American republic in
the difficulties through which il has
passed, but no one can deny that its ap-
pearance among factors, Asiatic, 1t all
events, and possibly in European aiplo-
macy, is a grave and serious event,
which may not conduce to the interests
of peace, though I think in any event IL
is likely to conduce to the interests Of
Great Britain"
