RHODE ISLAND.

Providence, Nov. 1o.-Very little in
terest was shown IN the congressional
election in Rhode Island, although the
weather was favorable. There were no
state issues. The vote cast was light
and the pluralities for Bull and Capron
are correspondingly reduced. Two years
ago Congressman Bull had a plurality OF
1886 and Congressman Capron had s524
Bulls plurality was this year reduced
TO 551s. while that OF Capron was cut to
1861. Bulls connection with the New
port municipal election affected his vote
In that city.
The proposed new constitution, framed
by a commission appointed by the Re-
publican governor and composed OF able
men Of both parties. failed to receive the
three-fifths of the total vote necessary
for its adoption. The country towns
went heavily against II and the large
favorable vote of the cities failed TO over
come this by about 1000. The total vote
was 1889 for and 49, 4S3 against
The constitution was designed to re-
place the constitution adopted in 1912,
which replaces the charter granted by
King Charles II of England in 1868. 1t
provided for increased representation for
the cities and a senate Of one member
from each city and town as at present,
with house Of 100 members, apportioned
en- the basis of population. Both Demo-
cratic congressional district conventions
recently demanded constitutional con-
vention instead of constitutional COM
mission.
The cities, with the exception of Central
Falls, went Democratic on local issues,
Mayor Baker being reelected in Provi-
dence by an increased plurality. Paw
tucket and Woonsocket went Republi-
can last year.

INDIAN A.

Indianapolis, Nov. .10.-The indications
are that the Republican plurality will
be nearly $1,000. 1t may vary 1000 either
way from that estimate. The Demo
cratic state committee concede that the
Republicans have won in the state.
Large Democratic gains are shown by
some counties, while others show large
Republican gains. From the returns
at hand it would appear that the Re
publicans will have a majority in both
branches of the Legislature, and ma
jority on joint ballot of about 16.
The Republicans claim nine of the
13 congressman sure. The Republicans
have hopes that they have carried the
Second and Fourth districts, though
these districts were heavily Democratic
in 1896. The Twelfth district is in doubt,
but is claimed by the Republicans. The
Third district which IN 1896 gave Dem
ocratic plurality OF 2434, is the only one
the Republicans are conceding to the
Democrats.
Chairman Martin Of the Democratic
state committee comedies a Republican
plurality in the state of IA, 500. Later re-
turns, however, may change the present
indicated result from 1000 TO 5000. The
Republicans claim the state by 10000.
The legislature will be Republican, which
means the ection of a Republican to
the United States senate to succeed Mr..
Turpie.

cede the defeat of Jackson in the First

Texas, one Republican. II Democrats
and one doubtful-the Twelfth district;
and IN West Virginia we carried the

the opposition carried the Third.
From our view point Of the situation
as it is now, fully believe that returns
We shall receive tomorrow will increase
the figures / have tonight"
At the headquarters Of the Democratic
committee confidence rs expressed that
the Democrats will control the next
house OF representatives. Secretary
Kerr will not concede many Of the claims
made by Chairman Babcock Of the Re
publican committee, and says that in a
large number Of districts IL will require
the official count TO determine definitely
the result.
1T seems certain" said Secretary
Kerr, that we have elected 1S3 members
Of the next house, the Republicans 163,
and that II districts are in doubt. In
New York we will have Il members:
in Pennsylvania nine and perhaps 10;
In Kansas four at least and perhaps
five; in Nebraska four; in North Caro-
lima nine and in California two or three.
Information is slow in coming in because
the count in SO many Of the districts is
very close. Our figures are based upon
definite returns, and 1 am satisfied that
they aer entirely accurate"
The following table gives a conserva-
tive estimate of the complexion of the
next house, based on returns received up
TO this morning:

MASSACHUSETTS.

Boston. Nov. 10.-While the result
the elsction in Massachusetts, was re
ceived with considerable satisfaction
by the Republican managers, as Gov
ernor Wolcott received a substantial en-
dorsement the returns were especially
gratifying TO the Democratic leaders, for
not only did the vote for their party
candidate for governor show an increase
of sc percent over last year, but they
succeeded in electing two additional
congressman, and materially reducing
the Republican majorities in every one
of the other districts. The state dele
cation 10 the national house Of repre-
sentatives will this year be 10 Republi-
cans and three Democrats, and, while
Senator Lodge will be elected by the
legislature. the Democrats made sub
stantial gains in the lower branch. and
will constitute One-third OF that body,
where. last year they had only a quar-
ter of the members.
The interest in the election, aside from
the Democratic gains in every congress

looked for defeat OF Joseph II. Walker,
who Tor . yo2rs has been the Repubn-
can representative in the Third district,
and has held the position Of chairman

PENNSYLVANIA.

Philadelphia, Nov. 1O.-The delegation
from Pennsylvania in the new congress
will comprise q Republicans and nine
Democrats, a Democratic gain of six.
The present delegation is composed of
27 Republicans and three Democrats.
The successful Democrats in the new
districts are Messrs. Barber, Davenport,
Ryan, Polk, Sibley and Hall. In each of
these districts, except one, the present
representative was a candidate for re-
election. William McAleer, who was
reelected in the Third district, is a
sound money Democrat, and the Repub-
hcans made no nomination against him.

four counties missing, gives Stone Rep.)

Chairman Babcock Of the Republican
congressional committee said last night
that the house Of representatives of the
Fifty-sixth congress would be Republi-
can without doubt.
Throughout the day and evening a
corps of political statisticians was at
work in the Republican headquarters
compiling and ana1yzing the returns.
In a statement, Chairman Babcock said: {:
There can be no longer any reasonable
argument over the political complexion
OF the next house Of representatives.
1t will be Republican beyond a shadow
of a doubt. Our advices show the GER
tain election of 1876 Republicans, more
than enough to give us control. These
are straight Republicans, and our ma

Experiment..

Experiments are at present being
conducted on the Paris Bordeaux line
with some very interesting machines,
which the inventor, NJ. Mercadier, has
been working on for many years.
With these instruments, called duode-
caplex, ~ Morse transmitters can
work simultaneously on single wire,
each sending it's signals to the proper
receiver at the end of the line. This
result is brought about by the use Of
alternating, or at any rate, interrupt
ed currents.
Each transmitter receives Its cur
rent through tuning fork having q
special note, its vibrations being cleo
,trically maintained. These vibrations
furnish current Of the proper peri
cd to cause resonance at each applica-
tion in the proper receiving circuit.
which has its self induction and CO.
pacity adjusted for this result. This
receiver is telephone "a monotele:

acoustic resonance qualities also help
to damp out from the signals received

OUR TINY PACIFIC POSSESSION
Two Little Uninhabtted Islands That
May BE Made to Serve Our
Government Well.

How many persons know that the
United States has possessions in the
South Pacific that might be used as
coaling stations in our campaign
against the Philippines? Did you ever
hear of Baker island, or Rowland is
land? It's O thousand chances to one
that you never did, but they have been
United States possessions since 1857.
It has been suggested that these tiny
islands might come in handy just at
this time, pending the annexation of
Hawaii. They have never before as
sumed the slightest degree of impor-
tance, and even now the officials of
the war department at Washington are
not inclined to believe that they can
be put to practical use, except in case
of the most dire necessity.
Still, that emergency might possibly
arise, and these desolate spots upon
a still more desolate sea may yet serve
a purpose heretofore undreamed Of.
The exact location Of Baker island, to
be accurate, is latitude 13 minutes 80
seconds north, longitude 176 degrees
20 minutes 80 seconds west. Howland
island lies two or three miles to the
north.
! Neither island Is inhabited, except
by sea fowl and q multitude of half
starved, vicious rats. The latter do
not hesitate to attack human being.
AT certain times of the year the islands
are visited by vessels, which load with
guano, which abounds In great guam
titles. What little vegetation there is
is coarse and scanty.
Baker island has no fresh water, but
on Rowland island are several pools
of braclsish water, supposed to be par
TALLY freshened by. distillation from
the sea. The anchorage is said to be
very unsafe. The FORMER island boasts
o movable wharf. 1t is quite impos-
sible for vessels to load between No
vember and April.
Rowland island Is two miles long
and half mile wide. Baker island
is one mile long and three-quarters
of mile wide. Aside from the fact
that they are out Of the usual sail
ing course, it would seem that the Is
lands would possess little value as q
base of war supplies. But still there
is some satisfaction in knowing that
they are there, and that they belong
to our government. The time may
come when. insignificant as they now
appear, we may be glad of their ex-
istence.-N. Y. Herald.
