Washington, Nov. live have re-
ceived confrmatory information from
every district in the United States. ,.
said Chairman Babcock of the Republi-
can congressional committee today.
This shows the Republicans will GER
tainly have Is majority and perhaps
more than that over the combined op-
position in the next house of represen-
tatives. Any changes which subse-
quent returns may make will be in the
direction of increasing our majority.
The straight-out Republican strength
shown VIII be 185."
Representative Cochran from the
Nineteenth New York district was at
Republican headquarters today. On the
face of returns so far received he has
been defeated by II votes. but Mr..
Cochran claims that the votes of the
soldiers of his district, now at Camp
Meade, will give him a majority, and
show that he is elected. The Repub-
licans are counting this as o strong
probability. in which cSse they would
have 10 majority in the house. Word
has been received at headquarters
that in the Second California. and the
Twelfth Texas districts, which were
considered doubtful, the Democratic
nominees have been elected.
Chairman Babcock has received in
formation indicating that the Republi-
can nominees in the Tenth Kentucky.
Ninth North Carolina and Ninth Vir-
ginia will contest the election of their
Democratic opponents. and that George
II. Higgins, the Republican nominee in
the Twenty-sixth Pennsylvania, viii
demand q. recount of the official vote.
At q. late hour tonight Chairman
Babcock Of the Republican congress
sional committee said that the latest
adviees received by the cCmmittee
made no change in the political COM
plexiOn of the next house. The Repub-
licans, ne said, would have 1S5 mem
bers, certainly, giving them a clear
majority Of 13. These figures were the
same as those he gave to the Associat-
ed Press early in the day.
Secretary Kerr of the Democratic
congressional committee has gone to
Pennsylvania, and no additional state
ment from him, therefore, could be OBJ
tanned.

QUIET AT WILMINGTON.
Negro Killed and Objectionable
Whites Ordered to Leave.

Wilmington, N. c., Nov. n.-Gem-
parative quiet has reigned here today.
Guards shot one unruly negro in a
negro slum of the city this morning. A
sensation was created by the capture
of j. r. Melton, late chief of police, by
crowd of rough riders, who would
have committed violence had not the
military interfered, and at 8 o'clock
Melton, r. II. Bunting, Republican
justice of the peace, and c. H. Gilbert,
exclusion policeman, all of whom are
in danger of severe treatment by red
Shirts were escorted to the depot and
sent out of town. Eight negroes in the
county Jail, whom the "red-shirts''
and rough riders had threatened to
lynch, were sent to Goldsboro this
morning for safe keeping. These were
arrested during the rioting Thursday.
The city is now under thorough mill
tary and police protection, and there
is every indication that no further
outbreaks are expected

were forced out of Wilmington today,

were accordingly escorted to the steam

powers are aware that Great Britain
would not allow the United States to

The Spectator says: The statesmen
of the continent universally fear the
advent of the United States in Eu-
ropean politics. They cannot rid their
heads of the idea that, if they stand
together, as when they coerced Japan,
America will similarly yield.
But their representations at Wash

national pride of the Americans, lead

States army, at the Waldorf-Astoria
tonight, in point of numbers, exten-
sive preparation and brilliancy, RI
vailed the great banquet given last year
in honor of President Mckinley by the
merchants and manufacturers of the
country. The leading persons, mill
tary, naval and business men, were
represented, 700 being present. All of
the second floor of the Astoria portion
of the hotel was utilized for the din
ner. The grand banquet hall was too
small, and tables were set in the ad-
joining rooms. The banquet hall itself
was marvel of beauty.
AT 1880 o'clock Hon. Joseph Choate,
the toastmaster, took General Miles by
the arm, and, after brief levee in the
Astor gallery, headed the long line to
the banquet room. just after the
oysters were served, a commotiOn was
heard on the north side OF the banquet
hall. Soon after cheers were heard,
as Governor-elect Roosevelt appeared
opposite the guest table. There was
much cheering, every one rising to his
feet, the ladies in the boxes growing
enthusiastic and waving their hand
kerchiefs at the colonel. He was es-
corted to a place made vacant by the
illness of General Shafter who sent
regrets at the last moment. Colonel
Roosevelt shook hands with General
Miles, and this was the occasion for
more cheering.
Among those who sat at the guests
table, presided over by Joseph H. Cho-
ate, were: Major General Nelson A.
Miles, at his right, and Rear Admiral
Henry Erben at his left; Governor
Roger A. Wolcott of Massachusetts,
Governor-eiect Roosevelt, Hon. Asa
Bushnell, governor of Ohio; Major
General Daniel E. Sickels, Hon. Ben
jamin F. Tracey, Ex-Governor Levi P
Morton, Captain Arthur Paget, r. N:
Hon. Daniel H. Hastings, governor of
Pennsylvania; Major General o. O.
Howard, Hon. Seth Low, Hon. Roswell
P. Flower, Chauncey M. Depew, Hon
William j. Sewall and Hon. Lloyd
governor of Maryland. A
place was reserved for Rear Admiral
w. S. Schley, who, unfortunately, had
gone to Washington.
A unique feature of the banquet was
the manner of serving the ice cream.
A drum and fife corps, playing Yankee
Doodle, preceded two score of walters.
who marched into the banquet hall
aloft huge platters of ice
cream, in the center of each one being
a miniature statue of Washington
Jefferson or some other great hero or
statesmen. The corps marched to CEN
eral Miles seat and placed a large
statue of General Washington in front
of him.
Half a dozen members of the cover
nor's footguards' CT New Haven, Conn.
were present in the picturesque uni
form of IVA.
After a. brief speech by Mr.. Choate.
in which he warmly eulogized the
guest of the evening, General Miles was
given an ovation. He smilingly bowed

RACE WAR OVER.
One More Killed Yesterday, But Ne
oToes Are Te1.rorized.

groes Are Terrorized.
Washington, Nov. ia special to
the Post from Wilmington, N. c., says:
This city is remarkably quiet tonight,
the turmoil and terrible race conflict
considered. The military are doing po-
lice duty at the request of the city
authorities, although NO martial law
has been proclaimed. There are five
companies on duty.
Mayor Waddell issued the following
proclamation tonight:
''The comparatively few persons in
this city who seem disposed TO abuse
the opportunity of carrying arms,
which recent events afforded, and who
aSe doing some very foolish talking,
are hereby, notified that no further tur-
bulence or disorderly conduct will be
tolerated. They are notified that a reg
ular police force viii preserve order,
and every peaceable citizen, black and
white, viii be protected in his person
and property. No armed patrol eX-
cept those authorized by the chief of
police will appear on the streets. JUS
tice is satisfied. Vengeance is cruel and
accursed.
Later the mayor called a meeting of
the new board of aldermen. The pur-
pose of the meeting was to devise ways
and means to suppress lawlessness and
stop red shirts" FOUNDERS and Sc
cret committees, who seem bent upon
forcing Objectionable citizens" to leave
the city and the proclamation given
above is the outcome of the meeting.
The negroes are thoroughly terror
lied. Hundreds of them have left the
city, fleeing through the country in all
directions tonight. w. E. Henderson,
the most prominent negro lawyer here,
asked for military escort to the At
lantic coast line station for himself and
family. 1t is believed the race war is
about over. Nobody has been shot to-
day and none of the wounded have
died.
The number of negroes known to
have been killed in the fight Thursday
is six. Nine negroes and three white
men were wounded. Only one of the
white men, William Mayo, is seriously
hurt. Four of the negroes are morta1ly
wounded. They are in the city hospital.
The negroes who were killed are at an
undertaking establishment and the
bodies were viewed today by large
crowds of people. At 10 o'clock tomor-
row the 1coroner's inquest will be held.
The coroner is a negro. This fact, per-
haps, together with the impossibility
of getting witnesses, prevented the in
quest being held today.

applause
GENERAL MILES ADDRESS.

After acknowledging his apprecia-
ton Of the magnificent reception,
though refusing to appropriate to him
self what he considered an expression
of gratitude to the army he command
ed, General Miles said:
THE wars of the past have had their
objects, their achievements and gIor-
ious results. This last was in the in
terest of humanity and in behalf of a
heroic people, who for many years
have been struggling against cruel
atrocities, oppression and the despotism
of cruel monarchy. 1t has been most
remarkable in many respects. 1t has
presented one series of victories, with
out a single defeat.s The flag of the
United States has not been lowered in
a single instance. Not a foot of ground
has been surrendered;. not a soldier,
gun or rife has been captured by the
enemy. The American soldiers and
sailors have been true to the principles
and traditions of their forefathers, and
maintained the honor and glory of the
American arms. One great blessing
to the country in this best, but deci-
sive war. has been to firmly unite in
bonds of unperishable union all sec
tions of the United States-north,
south, east and west. Still more, it has
given us reason and opportunity to

ranged for Saturday, will be postponed
until Monday next. At the joint ses-
sion on Wednesday last it was agreed
that the session fixed for Saturday
night be postponed until Monday, if
the Spanish commissioners found
themselves unable to prepare a reply
for presentation on Saturday, and it
now appears that the Spaniards found
it necessary to send to Madrid for GER
tain records, which cannot reach Paris
before 10 o'clock on Sunday morning,
and, therefore, their proper embodi-
ment into the Spanish memorandum
cannot be accomplished before Mon
day.
The next answer from the Spanish
commissioners will deal with the
rights of either to discuss the question
of Spanish sovereignty over the Phil
ippines, and with the American con-
tention that the retention of public
moneys and customs collections at Ma
Mia is justified by the fact of the
military occupation of the place by the
American forces, and warranted by
the protocol, even if faulty, as claimed
by Spain, because such action COM
menced after the suspension of hostili-

MIXED RESULTS m NEBRASKA.
Fusionists Elect State Officers and
Republicans the Legis1atnra.

Lincoln, Neb.. Nov. 11.-Eleetion re-
turns today and this evening served to
remove all doubt of the election of the
fusion state ticket, with the possible
exception of superintendent of public
instruction, by average pluralities Of
2,500. Republicans concede it. The same
figures make it certain that the Re
publicans have the Legislature on joint
ballot and probably both houses. The
senate stands: Republicans, 20; Flu
siOnists, u; one in doubt. The house:
As; F'usionists, 46; six in
doubt. Fusionist state house officials
admit the loss of the legislature, but
the campaign managers have not yet
formally conceded it.
The contest in many districts was
exceedingly close, two members win
ming by a single vote. In Richardson
county the summOning Of a district
judge and a mandamUs suit was neces-
sary to compel precinct judges Of cleo
ton to sign certificates of a house
member Who had won by three votes.

Everything was believed to have set
tied into it's normal state at Phoenix
City, but today a telegram from there
says word was sent to Columbia to hold
John r. Tolbert7 and his son Sidney,
who are in the penitentiary there. The
telegram said affidavits duplicating the
Tolberts in the recent race troubles
were on the way to Columbia, and it
is now believed it is the intention to
bring the Tolberts back to Phoenix
City. If this is done it is feared fur
ther trouble will result, although lead
ing citizens are deprecating any fur
ther violence.
The Toiberts escaped to Columbia
two days ago, and after having their
wounds dressed, We're placed in the
penitentiary as a precautionary meas
ure.

ment and people. We cannot longer
confine ourselves to the narrow limits

has been said of what has been the

ment, to protect and administer the

OVATION FOR PAGET.
Mr.. Choate, in a few words, told of
the close relations between Great Brit
ain and the United States, and intro
duced Arthur Paget of the royal navy.
A tremendous ovation greeted the Eng
lish representative. He said words
were inadequate to describe his feel
ings for the American soldier the
American sailor, for Admiral Sampson
and for General Miles in particular. He
read an extract from Lord Salisbury's
speech, in which the latter pointed out
the progress of the United States to-
wards expansion. Captain Paget said
there were some who opposed expan-
sion, but that they could not stay the
progress of the American nation in this
direction.

Miles wished him to ask for three,

SPAIN WILL NOT YIELD.
Commissioners Instructed to Reject
the American Demands.


Madrid, Nov. 1.-THE queen regent
presided at the cabinet council held
today. Premier Sagasta read a letter
from Senior Rio, president of the Span
ish peace commission, announcing that
the American peace commissioners had
refused to recognize the Cuban debt,
and had sexacted the Philippines. The
cabinet council will meet again this
evening and decide upon a reply.
The newspapers assert that the gov
ernment of Spain is sending instruc-
tions to it's commissioners at Paris not
to yield on the question of Spanish
sovereignty over the Philippine islands,
which is asserted to be entirely outside
of the protocol, wherefor the commits
sioners are authorized to discuss it.
1t is further asserted that the Span
ish government will declare that it has
not been authorized by the cortes to
negotiate the cession Of the Philippine
islands.
The Liberal advises the Spanish peace
commissioners to leave Paris, after
lodging protest against the demands
of the Americans

PRICE OF THE PHILIPPINES.
Spain Will Get One Million, Instead
of Forty Millions.


New York, Nov IA dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says: In
stead of paying Spain $4O,O0OO0O as an
indemnity for the eession of the Phil
ippin islands to the United States, Pres
ident Mckinley intends to reimburse
her only for the debt of about 81 600, 600
contracted for public improvements.
President Mckinley and his cabinet
have carefully noted that the senti-
ment expressed throughout the coun-
try by the elections has been in Oppo-
sition to the suggestion to indemnify
Spain to the extent first proposed. As
was put out by the administration au-
thorities, it was intended to give the
capital of the entire debt foated, with
the Philippine islands as security, and
amounting to S4G,OO0,O0O. What will be
paid by the United States, according
to the present intention of the presi-
dent, is the debt contracted by Spain
for the establishment of lighthouses,
harbor Improvements and public build
ings. All told, this does not amount
to a. very large sum, being fixed at
about 81 900, 900.

Topeka, Kan, Nov. lin a great
many counties of this state it viii re-
quire the official count and the soldiers
