Fusi0nist Ticket Elected by a Plural
ity of About $4,000.

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov S.-Complete coun-
ty returns coming in tonight do not ma
terially change the early estimates of the
results of yesterdays election. The fusion
lists carry the State by l2o0O. perhaps more
on the face of returns from nearly half the
counties. They elect William Neville to
Congress over Moses P. Kinkaid In the
Sixth district, but by reduced majority,
and gain slightly In judicial districts. Chair
man Edmiston, of the fusion state central
committee, insists that S. A. Holcomb Is
elected Judge of the Supreme Court by 15 600,
probably more. The Republican committee
gave up the fight and quit counting early
this morning.
w. j. Bryan said he had nothing further
to add to his comment OF last night that
she fusion victory in Nebraska was a re-
buke to the national administration. He re-
fused to discuss the results in other States.
Mr.. Bryan received many kilograms of con-
graduation from all parts of the United
States.
There was an informal jolliication meet
ing in the Populistic state headquarters this
afternoon. Chairman Edmston was kept
busy at the long-distance telephone receiv-
ing returns and answering inquiries. The
fusionists are arranging for a State ratif-
cation at the Capitol grounds Friday night.

VIII Run Against Bryan Again.

COLUMBUS. O., Nov S.-The statisticians
at the Republican headquarters have been
busy all dag and night endeavoring to Sc
cure some accurate figures on the plurality
of Judge Nash, the Republican candidate
for Governor. and tonight an unofficial
table OF pluralities by counties was COM
pleted. This shows that in fifty-seven
counties Nash, Rep, has S4.399 over Nc
Lean, DEM, and in thirty-one counties Nc
Lean has 34.035 over Nash. This gives Nash
over Mclean in the State 5o,364. 1t is not
believed the official returns will make any
important change In these figures. No fig
ures are available on the total vote In the
State, as the committee has sought TO OBJ
tain only pluralities. Notwithstanding ef-
forts were made to get the vote for Jones,
returns have been secured from only forty
of the eighty Eight counties. These include
the counties in which the heaviest Jones
vote was polled and show a total Of $1,000.
The remaining counties will swell the Jones
vote to 10000 Following are the unofficial
pluralities by counties:

LONG SQUABBLE ENDED.
Arrangement Between Britain and
Germany Satisfactory to America

WASHINGTON, Nov. S-The State De-
partment has not yet been advised OF the
agreement between Great Britain and Ger
many respecting the Samoan group. II is
gathered. however, that If the outline Of
the arrangement set out In the cable ad-
vices Is accurate there will be no disposition
to withhold our approval, provided certain
minor conditions are included.
Whatever plan Great Britain and Ger
many might agree on, 1t was stipulated
should be first submitted TO the ratification
Of the United States. This was necessary
as the change proposed could be made only
by formal treaty, which would require the
approval Of the Senate. 1t is believed the
arrangement proposed now will be satisfac-
tory TO the State Department. The United

Comments of London Press on the
Samoan Agreement.

LONDON, Nov. 9.-Without being enthus-
iastic, the morning papers generally regard
the Samoan agreement with satisfaction.
The Times in the course of an article ridi-
culing the idea that the imperial meeting
at Potsdam is In any way antagonistic TO
British policy in South Africa, says: The
Samoan agreement shows that Emperor
William is not animated by the sentiments
imputed to him by some French and Ger
man newspapers. On the whole, the ar
rangement appears such as ought to COM
mend itself to two sensible and practical
nations

takes occasion to make a savage attack
upon France, who. it declares. has neither
Courage, foresight nor sense of humor." ;"
The Daily Chronicle, on the contrary, sup
poses that Germany has been squared and
that the ''era of compensations over the
South African imbroglio" has begun 1t
suggests that the agreement has not re-
vealed the stipuiauons concerning Delagoa
bay and adds: 1T will be received with fury
in France and Russia, who will be reused
to further anger by the threatened combina-
tion of American, German. japanese and
British interests in China"
The Daily Chronicle thinks the time is
approaching when 'It will be impossible for
England altogether to disregard the storm
Of anger, unparalleled in the history Of the
empire, which Is sweeping through the con-
tinent."
The Standard says: 'The treaty marks
another success for Lord Salisbury's diplo-
macy. Nevertheless Germany has driven a
good bargain and the United States have 10
less reason to be contented."
The Daily News says: Under cover of
the war in South Africa Lord Salisbury has
let himself be squeezed out of Samoa We
are not prepared to say that the treaty is
not defensible instrument, but it is well
at the outset to recognize the simple fact
above stated. If Mr.. Gladstone had carried
out Lord Salisbury's policy the latter's sup
porters would have called it policy OF
scuttle.' On behalf of the treaty 1t is to be
said that it terminates a scandal in Samoa

THE CHINESE SITUATION.
America Not in League with Other
Powers. but Ii Watching Them

TOWerbs out ~ Wutcn1n8 IDem.
WASHINGTON, Nov. s.-Ofhcials here
are at a loss to know what was meant
by mysterious London dispatch relating
to Anglo-American-Ch Chinese relations of
such a startling character that the news
could not be published. 1t Is stated there
is nothing under consideration in this line
at present between Great Britain and the
United States that can be said to be of a
sensational character. The government is
not averse to having it known broadly that
1t has been steadily engaged for months
in negotiations looking to the maintenance
Of whatever trade rights We now enjoy in
Chinese ports. Officials do not care to go
into details while the negotiations are still
In progress. but it is expected the SUBJ
Ject will be made the basis Of a special
message to Congress by the President 1t
Is gathered that our government Is not like
ly to encounter any serious opposition to
what 1t regards as Its perfectly reasonable
effort to secure from the European powers
interested formal assurances in conirma-
ton of verbal statements already made that
the way for American trade In China will
be kept open in the event of a retention
of the existing concessions and leaseholds
Nothing has been heard from France on this
subject yet, though it is assumed that
the returning ambassador, M. Cambon, will
bear some instructions on the subject
The Chinese government, through Minis
ter WI Ting Fang. is keeping a watchful
eye on the recent Developments relating to
China Within the last few days he saw
Secretary Hay with view to learning to
what extent the United States had acted.
The response Of the secretary of state Is
understood to have been quite full and
frank and to the effect that at the re-
quest of the President our ambassadors and
ministers abroad had been asked TO secure
definite assurances that there should be no
interruption to the access of American
trade and commerce to the interior of China
through the treaty ports. Such assurances
had been given from time TO time, in some
what informal manner. as parts Of the man.
ifestos by which foreign powers assumed
control Of ports on the China coast, but the
purpose of this request was TO have the
assurances take definite. tangible written
form, so as to leave no room for doubt that
the future commerce of the United States
in the Orient would meet no unforeseen bar
riers
1t can be stated positively that the re-
cent move of the United States was not
the result OF any understanding or agree
ment with the Chinese minister and so far
as Is known here the Chinese authorities
were not consulted. Whether IL would be
regarded favorably by China depends In
the judgment of Minister WI. on subse-
quent developments.
Throughout diplomatic circles keen inter-
est Is manifested in the American move
and in the replies which are likely to be
ELECTED from the American inquiry abroad
The view prevails that while there will be
no difficulty in securing general assurances
OF a favorable character. IL Is not so GER

continue to enjoy by stipulation the privi-
lege OF trading with Apia under conditions
equally as favorable as those now exist
ing. The islets referred to are not OF any
particular Importance from a commercial
point OF view, but 1t is deemed essential
to control them politically in order TO pre-
vent smuggling.
The partition OF the Samoan group OF
islands marks the close of q long-standing
source OF international controversy, and
also brings about new territorial arrange
ments in the south Pacific. In the early
stage of the negotiations II was agreed
that the United States should have the
island of Tutulla, with its valuable harbor
OF Pago Pago, and the lesser Islands OF its
coast, including the large islet of Manua.
The negotiations then shifted TO London
to determine whether Germany or Great
Britain should retain the two remaining
isands-Upolu and Savaii. The nature OF
these later negotiations have been con-
stantly communicated to Washington, al
though they have not reached the State De-
partment, and 1t has been known for some
days that in case Great Britain retired from
Samoa Germany would give as part COM
pensation the large Solomon islands of lsa-
bel and Choiseui. These are near the British
possessions in Australasia, being east of
New Guinea. They are twice the size of
the Samoan group, but the country is noun
famous and the people warlike. many be-
ing cannibals. The area of all the German
Solomon islands is 5000 square miles, agains,
1.7o0 square miles for the entire Samoan
group.
AT the British and German embassies here
the announcement of the close of the nego-
tiations was received with much satisfac-
ton. A high displomatic official said that
the agreement was due mainly TO the fact
that German public sentiment was averse
to retiring from Samoa, and, yielding tC
this sentiment, Great Britain had solved
the matter by taking an equivalent in terri
| tory elsewhere.
