There is no longer any doubt mat the
Republlcans have carried Ohio.
In Kentucky Goebel still claims the state

that Taylor, Republican. for Governor,
had carried the state by some 5000 to s.OOO
Kentucky. however, elected Democratic
legislature.
In Ohio Nash, Republican, has been
ing $1,000 All the best estimates show
that the Ohio Legislature is safely Re-
publican.
The fusionsts carried the Nebraska cleo
tions by a majority of something like 1900
votes.
Smith, Democrat, was elected Governor
of Maryland by a majority estimated at
1880, which is heavy Democratic gain.
The Maryland Legislature is also Demo-
cratic
Shaw, Republican. was elected Governor
Of Iowa by a majority of about $4,000 over
all candidates. Iowas Legislature is Re

Mississippi went Democratic by 10000, the
estimate given yesterday morning. The

Virginia elected legislature that is al

Senator Martin will probably succeed him

Pennsylvania elected the Republican
candidates by the usual large majorities,
Barnett for state treasurer, being given
plurality of 1O9465 over Greasy.
In New Jersey the Republican plurality
r1ns generally above 10000.
New York shows some Democratic gains

This brings the Legislature into promi-

nave TO determine who will be the next
Governor of Kentucky. In all expressions
upon the result of the election coming
from Democratic headquarters, the Legis-
latureAhas been claimed as safe for that
party. NO statement of its makeup has
been given, but it is probable a number

not GoeDel men. If the strength of the
Two great parties is nearly equal these
anti-Goebel Democrats would probably
hold the balance of power. thus furnish

the exciting and bitter contest of 1897,

While the returns on the head of the

Not Believed Official Returns VIII
Vary Much From That.

Columbus, o., Nov. S-The statistlcians
at the Republican headquarters have been
busy all day and night endeavoring 10 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 ffty-seven
counties Nash, Republican, has 81, S99 over
Mclean, Democrat, and in thirty-one
counties Mclean has 34,035 over Nash.
This gives Nash over Mclean in the state
5O964.
1T is not believed the official returns will
make any important change In these fig
ures.
No figures are available on the total vote
In the state, as the committee sought to
obtain only pluraAties Notwithstanding
efforts 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 $4,000. The remaining counties
will swell the Jones vote to 100000.

ture are:

diers VIII Not De Shot.
Washington, Nov. S.-The four cases of
courtmartial with death sentence of SOL
diers in the Philippines, which reached the
war department by yesterdays Manila
mail are awaiting Transmission to the
Secretary of War.
The men under sentence are Private
Otto r. Conine, Corpl George Damphof-
fer and Private Peter Bennett all of Com
pany B, Sixteenth Infantry, and Private
William e. Scarborough, Company b,
Third Infantry.
These cases will have to go to the Sec
retary of War and thence to the Presi-
dent for approval. Executive action cam
not be forecasted, but 1t is generally un-
derstood here THAT in case the sentences
are not commuted by the President, it is
more than likely that the attorneys for
the convicted men will endeavor by tech
nical flaws in the proceedings to prevent
the imposition of the extreme penalty.
1t is understood also that Gen. OTIS
approval of the sentence was coupled with
a recommendation for mercy. To make
this recommendation the General would
have 10 approve the sentence, as he has
the right to disapprove the sentence in
toto but not to mitigate 1t.

SCHOONER DowNEs WRECKED.
Crew Was Taken or by the ItaIian
BnrIk Salvatore.

Bnrk suAFatOrc.
Gloucester, Mass. Nov. 8.-The italian
bark Salvatore, which arrived here today
from Trapani, Italy, had on board Capt.
A. r. Dyer and the shipwreeked crew OF
seven men of the schooner William e.
Downes OF New Haven, bound from Sa-
vannah to New Haven with lumber.
The rescued men are Capt. A. T. Dyer,
Mate II. =. Smith and Engineer +. p.
Marshall, all of Deer isle Me-; Jacob
Dahl, Jacob Thompson, Charles johnson,
Lewis johnson, Alexander Skova, all Nor
wegians.
Capt Dyer reported leaving Savannah,
Oct 26, and meeting a gale Oct 30, during
which the vessel began to show signs of
leaking The shifting of the deckload
opened the seams, and that night she was
full of water, with decks awash, compell-
ing the men to take to the rigging, where
they lodged themselves.
For four days lashed to the rigging and
exposed to the elements and practically
without food, the men passed narrowing
existence All they had to eat was few
cans Of condensed milk and beef. AT the
end of the fourth day the bark Salvatore
was sighted and signals of distress were
hoisted. The bark made down for the
distressed vessel and effected the rescue
of the crew, It being a dangerous piece OF
work. as another easterly gale had just be-
gun blowing. Two trips in a boat were
necessary to effect the transfer.
The captain and crew saved nothing ex-
cept the clothes they wore.

UNITED STATES AND CHINA.
Believed France Is the Only Country
That Would object.


Washington. Nov. s.-Omcials here are
at a loss TO know what was meant by the
mysterious London dispatch relative to
Anglo-Amercan relations as to China,
which was of such a startling character
that it could not'be published
It is stated that there is nothing under
consideration in this line at present be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States which can be said to be of a sensa-
tional character,
The Chinese government through It's
minister at Washington, Mr.. WI Ting
Fang, is keeping a watchful eye on the
recent developments relating to China.
Within the last few days Minister WI con-
ferred with Secretary Hay with a 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 request of the President, our ambas-
sadors and ministers abroad had been ask
ed 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.
The view prevails that while there will
be no difficulty in securing general assur-
ances of a favorable character, it is not
so certain that definite statement In writ
ing or other tangible form Will be given.
Those best acquainted with the subject
hold that Great Britain, Germany and
Russia will coincide with the American
view and that if any objection comes 1t
Is likely to arise in France, as the French
policy in Madagascar and Cochin China
is to give preferential rates TO French
goods and make Determinations against
foreign goods. From this, 1t is Implied
that France would not give a definite as
surance that American commerce will be
on equal terms in China, where French
spheres OF influence prevail.
