DEMOCRATS GAIN SIX.

Result of the Congressional Con-
tests in the Quaker State.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov 9.-The dele
cation from Pennsylvania in the next
congress will comprise twenty-one Re-
publicans and nine Democrats, a DEM
ocratic gain of six. The present dele
cation is composed Of twenty-seven
Republicans and three Democrats. The
districts gained by the Democrats are
the Eighth, Twelfth, Thirteenth, Sew
enteenth, Twenty seventh and Twen-
ty-eighth. The successful Democrats in
these districts are, respectively: Laird
H. Barber, Stanley w. Davenport,
James w. r. Yam, Rufus K Polk,
Joseph c. Sibley and James K. P. Hail.
In each of these districts, except the
Seventeenth, the present Republican
representative was a candidate for re-
election. They are, In the order named
William s. Kirkpatrick, Morgan B.
Williams, Charles K. Brumm, Charles
w. Stone and William G. Arnold. The
Seventeenth district is now represented
by Monroe Kulp. The defeated Repub-
lican candidate in this district Is Will
liam Woodin. William McAleer, who
was reelected from the Third district,
is sound money Democrat, and the
Republicans made no nomination
against him.

taking the situation as a whole and
considering the feelings of other peo-
pie as well as our own, we can reason
ably rest for the present with the ex-
listing state of affairs I must not be
understood as meaning that Great
Britain's position in Egypt is the same
now as 1t was before the fall of Om-
durman, but we earnestly hope that
circumstances will not make it neces-
sary materially to modify that posi-
tion, as we are convinced the world
would not then get on so peaceably as
now"
AMERICA IN EUROPE.
Referring again to the war prepara-
tions and asking his hearers to look at
the state of the world, Lord Salisbury
observed:
THE czar has invited a congress tc
provide for the disarmament of the
world, but while we offer our hearties,
tribute to his motives, and are willing
to assist and sympathize in every way
until the happy day when his aspira
t1ons are crowned with success, we
must still provide precautions needful
to counteract the dangers surroundine
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.
ouced among nations, whose dominions
are expanding and whose instruments
to certain extent are war. I am NOT
implying the slightest blame. Far from
it. am not refusing sympathy to the
American republic in the difficulties
through which it has passed, but no one
can deny that it's appearance as a fac
tor in Asiatic, at all events, and Dos
sibly in European diplomacy, is a grave
and serious event, which may not con-
duce to the interests of peace, though
think IN any event it is likely to con-
duce to the interests Of Great Britain.
! (Cheers)
But what has been impressed upon
US is that the subject matter of was is
terribly prevalent on al sides. We see
nations decaying, whose government ia
SO bad that 1t can neither retain the
power of finances nor retain the affcc-
ton of its subjects, and when this oc-
curs there are always neighbors imDeI-
led by some methodist may be the
highest philanthropy or it may be fine
highest desire for empire, to secure q
part OF the falling nation, and that is
the cause for war;
Lord Salisbury then alluded to the
Iaplolty and unexpectedness with
which war break out, and said:
If Great Britain should ever hermit
her sole defences to weaken. her wbola
empire would come Gathering to the
ground. 1t is Therefore Impossible in the
present temper of the war to terminate
our navel or military preparations.
He continued: ''All suggestions that
the country is animated by a lust Of
conquest or lust of war are false" de.
claring that Great Britain was onIV
desirlous Of maintaining the empire
Br1tons have from their forefathers
and to support the peace which is the
glory and sustenence of our empire.
A great ovation from the entire as.
sembly marked the conclusion of the
premier's speech.

ENDORSED EACH OTHER.
Cabinet Session Devoted to an Ex-
change of Congratulations.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The cleo
tions formed the theme that almost
exclusively occupied the attention of
the cabinet at a session held today.
The session was called to take the
place Of the regular Tuesday meeting,
which had to be deferred owing to
the absence Of the president and sew
eral Of the official household. The meet
ing was in the nature of an exchange
Of congratulations on the general re-
suit, and the dispatches of the Asso-
ciated Press, sent over the special
White house wires, were quickly COM
municated to the cabinet room and
discussed by the members. Every one
of the cabinet present took part in the
discussion, and individual comments
on the votes in their respective parts
of the country were exchanged. The
feeling expressed at the meeting, sum-
med up, was that the result of the
elections showed an Endorsement of the
administration, and the Republican
losses in some localities were attrfb-
uted to the development Of local feel
ing following the tidal wave of 1896
in districts where they elected Repub
licans on very large majorities. There
was great qualification on the outlook
for a senate majority, the opinion be-
ing expressed that there will be a Re-
publican majority of eight and posi-
bly, more in that body.
AS to the house, there was some ap-
prehension, although the belief was
expressed, based on advices received
up to that hour, that there might be
a Republican majority Of perhaps thir-
ty or more.
The Democratic gains in North Caro-
lima were no surprise, as the race is
sues had prepared the administration
for the result. It was contended at
the meeting, however, that in a general
way the districts throughout the coun-
try normally Republican had remained
So and it was asserted that the vote
failed to show any censure of the ad-
ministration.
The situation in Cuba was discussed.
and as result it is believed that the
Spaniards will indorse our propositions
for the evacuation of the island,
though it Is not proceeding with the
dispatch that the United States have
a right to expect On the other hand,
it is said that yellow fever exists in
Havana, and that it would not be pru-
dent to send troops to occupy the city
at this time, even if the Spaniards
were ready to evacuate it. There is
no doubt, however, that the United
States will take formal possession of
the Cuban government on Jan. 1, if
not earlier. 1t was realized that the
! Spaniards are making the very most
| of their opportunities in regard to Gus
| toms, and that the common people are
made to suffer in consequence.
After the cabinet meeting 1t was
stated that nothing has been received
/ recently from the Paris commissioners,
and so far as is known here there il
no hitch in the proceedings.

The states to elect senators in which
Republican legislatures appear to be
assured are Michigan, Minnesota, Della
ware, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Wis
consin, New York, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and California.
Five Of these states are now repre-.
sented by Democrats, who will give
way to Republicans, namely: Gray, of
Delaware; Mitchell, of Wisconsin,; Muir.
ply, of New York; Smith, of New
Jersey, and White, of California.
The other five states are now repre-,
sented by Republicans, VIZ: Burrows.
of Michigan; Davis, of Minnesota,
Hawley, of Connecticut; Lodge, OF
Massachusetts, and Quay, of Pennsyl-
vania.

1slatures in Wyoming and North Da.

tirement of Democratic Senator Roach
of North Dakota, and the reelection OF
Clark, of Wyoming, or some other Re-
publican.
The states electing Democratic legis-
latures according to present reports
are Tennessee, Missouri, Texas and
Florida. These are already represented
by Democrats so that no political
change is expected. The present Dem
ocratic incumbents are Bate, of Ten
nessee; Cockrell, of Missouri; Mills, OF
| Texas and Pascoe, of Florida.
The reports state that Utah also Is
likely to have a Democratic legislature
Mr. Cannon, of Utah, who will retire,
is Silver Republican. Nevada reports

elect Stewart (Sil. Rep)
The legislatures which continue to be
in doubt are Nebraska, West Virginia,

ne Auus Anat americans Are a
Unit on Foreign Relations.
PARIS, Nov. g. Commenting 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. It 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 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
misstoners has been changed by the
elections,

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 9.-Returns by
counties tonight, which come with pro-
voking slowness, indicate 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 ez-
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:
'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 tha
state ticket. The legislature, he said,
was Republican sure.

ODDITIES OF POISONING.
Some May Eat With Impunity Ger
tain Foods Which Are Rank
POisons to Others.

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 a 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 fre-
quentiy arise from and are aggravated
by certain kinds of food. Thus a per-
son affected with kidney or liver trou-
BILE should not eat very white bread,
since the extreme whiteness is often
produced by the use of alum with an
inferior article Of flour, and as alum
is known to be poisonous in it's 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
nirety-seven representatives out of
125. This gives them a majority of
f1fty-two on joint ballot IN the legis-
lature, and insures the election of a
Republican state printer.

Single Tax Issue and Light Vote
Defeated FusiOnists.

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
10000 two years ago, elected both con-
gressmen and two supreme court JUS
tices by a majority of at least 5000
Later returns will, 1t 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 a membership of 112. This
estimate gives the fusionists all the
doubtful districts. They retain control
Of the senate. The legislature now
stands: Senate, Republicans, 15; fu-
sion, 10; house, Republicans, 81; fu-
SIGN, II.
The two amendments to the state
ccnstitution-woman suffrage and To-
cal option in municipal taxation-are
Overwhelmingly defeated. The RepuJb-
licans attribute their victory largely to
the latter amendment, which they
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. 00O
to 10000 less than two years ago. and
to the apprehension that single tax was
an Issue.
