Gen. Kitchener is another man who
easily makes himself understood. 1t took
very few words to convince the French at
Fashoda that the best thing for them to
do under the circumstances was to accept
passage in Cairo and move on. If some
man would take the trouble to investigate
he might find that Dewey and Kitchener
are related.

Some of the New York yellow journals
are spreading themselves writing human
interest" stories about the case of Nellie
Donlon of Brooklyn, who was frightened
by dog some days ago and has since
exhibited symptoms like those of hydro
phobia. There is something awe-inspiring
about hydrophobia, and by adding to this
the mystery of how a girl who had not
been bitten but had merely been fright
ened by dog could contract hydrophobia,
the sensational fakirs have been able to
build up stories that were semi-scientBhc
and at the same time hair raising. All of
the romance has been knocked out of the
case, however. by simple little note by
DR.. Nelson H. Chapman. He writes: THE
case is merely one of hysteria, and the
cause is-wOrms. 1 have met with sucn
conditions before" The probabilities are
that worms are at the bottom of the
majority of the yellow journal sensations.

Republicans, However, Claim LeGis-

WHEELING, w. Va, Nov. 9.-The Re

Chairman Dawson, of the Republican state
committee tonight claims the election of
seven Republicans and six Democrats to the
State Senate and forty Republicans and
thirty-one Democrats to the House of Rep

Republicans, However, Are Confident
of Carrying BOth-ResuIt in the Da-
kOtas and Washington State.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Iatest figures OBJ
tainable show that Roosevelt's plurality in
the State is not far from 10000. Only ten
counties in the State give Van Wyck plu-
ralities and they were all localities swayed
by cities, as New York, Kings, Queens and
Erie. The falling off in Roosavet's pu-
rality as compared with Blacks in 1886 is
due to a decrease in the Republican vote
up the State of 81 GOO and in Greater New
York of $1,000. Against this Van Wyck
gained 10000 above the Harlem and SO, 600 be-
low it compared with Porter two years
ago.
The result in congressman in this State
seems to have surprised even the Demo-
Gratis themselves. Nineteen of their candl>
dates were elected, the Republicans getting
but fifteen. In the present House the New
York delegation stands twenty-seven Re-
publicans TO six Democrats. 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 will
be Republican by four and the Assembly
by twenty. Political interest from now on
will center about the senatorship, and al
ready discussion as to the probable aspl
rants has begun. So far there is no an
nounced candidate and the Republican or
ganization has not declared itself
The vote UP the State furnished several
surprises. Rochester, the home of George
W. Aldridge, commissioner of public works,
gave Roosevelt only 420 plurality, against
4,196 for Black in 1896. Rensselaer, county,
the home of Governor Black, gave Van
Wyck plurality of about 700. Black car
ried it by 2,S00 Roosevelt ran ahead of
Blacks figures in Allegany by 300 and in
Broome by 2,500.
Corrected returns received up to midnight
show: Roosevelt's plurality, all outside of
Greater New York, 107, 1856; Van Wycks
plurality in Albany. Chemung, Clinton, Erie,
Rensselaer, and Schoharie counties and
Greater New York, $3.50. Roosevelt's
plurality 212S6

GREAT CHANGE IN VOTE.
Republicans Gain $4,000 in the State
of WashingfOn


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 1900 two years ago,
elected both congressman and two Supreme
Court justices by a majority of at least 1900.
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 10 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-RepubIcans Is; fusion, 19. House
Republicans 61 fusion, II.
The two amendments to the State Consti-
tuition, woman suffrage and local option in
municipal taxation, are overwhelmingly de-
feated. The Republicans attribute their vic
tory largely to the latter amendment, which
they made a 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 1900 to 10000 less than two years
ago, and to the apprehension that single tax
was an issue.

FOUGHT In PORTO RICO.
Return of Third Illinois Regiment ON
the Transport ROumanian.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The United States
transport Roumanian, from Ponce, having
on board the Third Illinois Regiment num-
bering about $50 men, arrived at Wee
hawken, N. j., shortly before noon. AS soon
as the vessel reached the dock Colonel Ben
nett came to this city and went to Gov
ernor's island on official business. One of
the first persons to greet the returning SOL
diers was d. ]. Stewart, of Rockford, Ill.
Mr.. Stewart came East as the representa-
tive of the Army and Navy League of
Winnebago county. The regiment comprised
forty-two officers and 9S4 men. Since the
volunteers left Illinois the ranks have been
depleted by the loss of one officer and thir-
ty-five men.
Lieutenant Colonel Fisher in speaking of
the experience of the men in Porto Rico
said: I'VE landed near Arroyo on Aug ?
under the protection of a hot fire from the
cruisers Gloucester and Cincinnati and the
auxiliary cruiser St. Louis, from which we
disembarked The Spanish guerrillas, who
were lined on shore, fired only one volley at
us and then turned and fed. We threw out
d skirmish line between the town and the
mountains. The line was twice attacked
with no loss on our side We were Joined
by the Fourth Ohio and Fourth Pennsyl-
vania Regiments on Aug. ). with General
Hams in command, and we moved on
Guayama. When within two miles of that
city we met some resistance from the Span
ish and a battle ensued, which lasted two
and half hours. The Spaniards lost five
men killed and had an unknown number
wounded, while we had only five wounded.
Al daybreak on Aug. ~ we started up the
military road towards San Juan, with Gen.
Brooke personally commanding Our regi-
ment was in advance. When We had pro-
Ceeded up the military road about seven
miles we discovered the enemy strongly in
trenched in the mountains about fifty miles
from San Juan. one battery of artillery
was brought to the front and placed in posi-
tion for firing, but just az that moment
the staff officer arrived with message from
General Miles 10 General Brooke which
read: Stop all operations. Peace We were
ordered 10 march back to Guayama. where
we remained on outpost duty until Nov. 3.
The night before we left there we lost one
man-Private Woodland, of Company @. who
died of typhoid fever We left his remains

seventh New York Regiment who promised
to give the remains a burial with full milf
tary honors. Taking everything into con-
sideration our men have been very lucky

CONGRATULATIONS for Rooseveit.

LONDON, Nov. 9.-The comment made by
the afternoon newspapers here on the result
of the elections in the United States is
mainly congratulations extended to Colonel
Roosevelt on his victory in the contest for
the governorship in New York State.
The Westminster Gazette expresses the
opinion, however, that the Democratic
gains are merely the expression of popular
opinion of the shameful mismanagement of
the War Department" and adds 1.-THE
elections will give Spain little cause to re-
vive the old hope of a division among the
Americans and the Spanish commissioners
will be wise if they abandon all hopes that
the Democratic successes will prove ad-
vantageous to SPAIN
All the morning papers comment upon the
elections in the United States, but the tend
ency is to await the final and full returns
before expressing decided opinion.

NEBRAsKAIs CLOSE.
Republicans still Claim the State by
5000 to 5000.

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 9-Returns by
counties tonight, which come with provok-
ing slowness, indicate a scaling off of Re-
publican gains of last night and to-day,
making the state ticket in doubt and so
close that official count may be required.
The Legislature is probably Republican on
joint ballot, but Senator Allen will not con-
cede it. Neither state committee made such
extravagant claims as last night. Secretary
Thompson, of the Fusion committee, con-
ceded the election of Republican congress-
men in the First and Second districts but
claimed the other four, admitting that 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
official count is made"
Chairman Schneider. of the Republican
committee, said he could see no reason to
materially change his previous estimate cf
5000 to 5000 for the state ticket The Legis-
lature, he said, was Republican sure.

CAUSE OF DEFEAT.
New Jersey Democrats Routed on Ma
tfOnaI QuestiOus


NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Elvin w. Crane,
the defeated Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor of New Jersey, said to-day that he
recognized the fact that his defeat was due
to national questions. Many New York
business men reside in the townships
throughout the State and have no interest
in local affairs, but vote according to their
feeling in New York.
United States Senator James Smith, of
New Jersey, said: THE Democratic defeat
was largely due to an apprehension on the
part of the large manufacturers and busi-
ness men that, should we be successful,
the United States Congress and Senate
would favor the free coinage of silver It
was this fear which influenced those with
large business interests to vote against us
and with the Republicans. A number of vot-
ers followed their example, so large a num-
Der, in fact, as TO insure our defeat But"
went on the senator, 1.-The way we have
pulled down the Republican majorities indi-
Gates that New Jersey is losing her fear of
free silver and will soon be back in the
Democratic fold"

Returns from Seventy-Five Counties
Enable Fairly Accurate AD-
Proclamation.
THE LEGISLATIVE ANALYSIS
REPUBLICANS HAVE A WORKING MA.
JORITY IN BOTH BRANCHES.
On Joint Ballot There Is a Majority OF
TNTenty-FOur to Elect United
States Senator.

Meager reports from seventy-five counties
yesterday, with the rest estimated, indicate
that the Republican majority in Indiana will
not fall much under 1900, and may exceed
that figure. Chairman Hernly has made
that his last estimate, showing that the esti-
mates published in yesterdays Journal were
nearly correct.
While the returns on congressman are
slow in coming in. there are enough to de-
termine the fact that Indiana will return
a delegation of nine Republicans and four
Democrats to Congress this year, as it did
two years ago. Republicans have carried
the First, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth
Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh and Thirteenth dis
tricts again, leaving to the Democrats the
Second, Third. Fourth and Twelfth. The
Fifth district was altogether TOO close for
comfort, and neither side was satisfied yes
terday until complete unofficial returns from
each county had been secured. These give
the district to Faris by 2OS. In the Fourth
district Major Lee succeeded in giving Grif-
fifth very close rub. and had the Repub-
lican counties of the district done as we'll
by Major Lee as did the Democratic coun-
ties Of Brown and Bartholomew he would
have been elected. The hopes of Judge
Gardiner, in the Second, were ruined by
remarkably heavy slump in Monroe county
The following members are elected:
First district James A. Hemenway, Boom
vile (Rep); Second district, r. w. Miers
Bloomington (Dem.); Third district, William
t. Zenor, Corydon Dem.); Fourth district.
Francis M Griffith. Vevay Dem); Fifth
district, George w. Faris, Terre Haute

ceived the same news"
Senator Gray, referring to the successful
campaign Of Col Theodore Roosevelt in the
contest for the governorship OF New York,
said: THE returns show the result of a
very hard battle. in which al the vehe-
mence of the successful candidate and his
splendid military record appealed to the
military spirit. which is still so active and
potential in consequence of a war so recent
and fragrant and not yet technically ended"
Touching on the general result of the cleo
tions, the senator said: The result in the
country is too much in doubt to warrant
any expression of opinion. 1t does not seem
to one at this distance as though the policy
of expansion entered at all into the cam
paign."
Senator Frye said: Il am highly delight
ed at the results. As indicated by the cable
dispatches Senator Murphy will not be re-
turned from New York State and, while l
am sorry for the senator personally, am
not chagrined to have another Republican
added to the United States Senate
Judge Day remarked: "As far as know,
gratifying results appear from yesterday
elections. 1t is especially gratifying that
man of Colonel Roosevelt's high character
and unblemished integrity is so triumphant
ly elected Governor Of New York.
Senator Davis said: THE result of the
elections is, of course. very gratifying to
me as Republican. 1t approves the gen.
eral policy of the administration and the
principles of the party which it represents.
L have not had much concern as to what ef-
feet any result would have had upon our
foreign affairs, and particularly upon the
war, the treaty negotiations or any of our
relations with Spain. for this reason: that
the American people. whatever their differ
ences as to their internal concerns, will
practically be unit as to their foreign re-
lations, 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 admins
tered. The election of Colonel Roosevelt is
especially gratifying to me on account of
our long personal friendship"
The Spaniards here are not gratiied by
the results of the elections, though there is
no reason to believe the attitude of the
American peace commissioners has been
changed by the elections.
