Additional Returns Serve tOIncreQSG
Shaw's Plurality.
Dcs Moines, Ia, Nov. s.-Election re-
turns come in slowly, but continue to
he more favorable to the republicans.
Gov. Shaw's plurality which, Tuesday
night, was figured at $4,000, is now de-
clared to be $1,000 by the republican
committee, the democrats conceding
$4,000. Comparison with the vote Of
two years ago shows republican gains,
although the vote is much lighter
than then. Several counties heretofore
democratic, notably Monroe, have
given good sized republican plurali-
ties. The 81 counties so far reported
give Shaw plurality of 4O,3O1. Twen-
ty-three counties are yet to be heard
from.
The indications point to republican
gains in the lower house of the legis-
lature. Cummins, candidate for the
Uuited States senate, claims he will
have clear majority in the house and
that the senate will be evenly divided
between himself and his chief oppo-
EeEt, Gear.

THE INEVITABLE CONFLICT.
A Gang of Young TOuEhs Attack Me-
grOes and a Desperate Fight
Ensues.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 13.-Twenty
boys, known as the Twelfth-street
gang, started in Saturday night to
thrash every negro who came along
East Twelfth street. The trouble began
when a cololored woman, with whom
the boys had quarreled, cut one of the
boys in the wrist with a razor. An
hours fight in the open street ensued
bricks and clubs being used with eff.
feet.
An officer chased one of the boys,
Frank Dimmitt (white), down the
street, firing as he ran. One bullet
struck Dimmitt in the leg and another.
glancing, struck Mrs. o. III. Nelson, a
boarder at the Arno hotel, in the head.
Neither were seriously hurt.

MASKS Plurality for Governor VIII
Probably Reach 10000.

Nash's Plurality for Governor VIII
Probably Reach 10000.
Columbus, o., Nov. s.-The demo
cratic state committee has no addition
al returns.
Republican Chairman Dick has re-
vised his figures so as to claim from
$1,000 to 10000 plurality for Judge
Nash for governor, and the rest of the
republican state ticket, and an un-
usually large majority in both
branches of the legislature. No SEN
ator is, however, to be selected by this
legislature. The total vote was per-
haps exceeded only at the last presi-
dental election. It will reach 920, 900,
as compared with 7o4, 900 last year, and
So, 900 in 1897, with which year the
vote was compared. The plurality of
Judge Nash exceeds that of President
Mckinley in 1896, and is almost double
that of Gov. Bushnell in 1897. The
Jones vote, although the largest ever
polled for third candidate, is not re-
garded as large as indicated in the
earlier returns Tuesday night. It is
not likely to exceed 100000, and almost
half of this vote was cast in Cleveland,
Cincinnati and Toledo.
1t is estimated that the Jones vote
In Cuyahoga county was $4,000; in
Hamilton, 10000, in Lucas, 5000, and
in Franklin, $500. Outside of the fu-
sion troubles in Hamilton, the con-
fusion in Cuyahoga county and the
Jones movement in other places, the
republicans seem to have made gains
throughout the state, especially in the
rural districts.
The senate stands 10 republicans, 8
democrats and doubtful, including
three from Hamilton county. The
house stands 5s republicans, 81 demo
Gratis, and II doubtful, including the
10 members from Hamilton county.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Nov. IA double
headed Pittsburgh & Lake Erie freight
train of 55 loaded coal cars crashed
into the caboose of another train at
McKees' Rocks, last night, and piled
the wreckage up high. Three men
were in the caboose. One of them was
taken out dead. Another had one foot
crushed and both legs broken, and a
third was SO badly injured that he may
die. An unknown man who was steal
ing a ride was also killed. The acci-
dent is blamed by the trainmen on the
negligence of the fiagman of the train
that was struck.

KENTUCKY.
Full Returns Not Yet Received, So
Doubt Lingers.


Cincinnati, Nov. s.-Supt. Miller, OF
the Western Union Telegraph Co., who
has been collecting the election news
OF kentucky, issues the following bull
letin:
The following conclusion reached
late Tuesday night, regarding the elec-
ton in Kentucky, seems to hold gool
at this time. Returns received give
Goebel plurality of 7,077, but of the
counties not yet heard from in any
thing like complete way, ten gave
a democratic majority of 1862 in '97.
and 1e gave a republican majority of
1910. Therefore, if there is no re-
publican loss in these counties, Tay-
1or is elected.
4 republican loss seems improbable,
as there are generally republican gains
elsewhere.

FREYCINET'S RESIGNATION
Leads TO An Exciting Debate in Deputies The
Government Sustained.

Paris. May Sin the Chamber of
Deputies. today, NJ. Georges Berry,
Nationalist, questioned the govern
ment as to whether the resignation Of
the portfolio of war by NJ De Frey
Cinet was due to a disagreement be
tween the minister and his colleagues,
or if NJ. dc Freycinet had resigned be
cause he wished no longer to protect
the chiefs Of the army.
NJ. Berry also asked why the port
folio of public works had been given to
NJ. Monestier, who had voted against
transferring revision Of the Dreyfus
case from the criminal court to the
whole court Of cessation. Premier
Dupuy replied that the motives which
NJ. Berry alleged We're purely imagi-
nary There was not shadow OF dis
agreement, he said, within the cabinet
Regarding Monestier, NJ. Dupuy said
his appointment did not indicate any
change on the part of the government
regarding revision, which moreover,
could not be regarded as the pivot Of
Republican policy
NJ. Law. Nationalist. inquired if dis
cord in the cabinet was not due to the
exchange Of sharp letters between NJ.
de Freycinet ana the minister Of for
eign affairs, NJ del Case, concerning
the Palealogne incident. Amidst Il
great uprOar NJ. Dupuy replied that the
suggestion was unfounded. NJ. Law
.interjected that NJ. Del Case was the
possesor of checks incapable of flush
ing. even from smacks. Great uproar
and excitement ensued.
Finally Nj. LaVi was formally CEN
sured and the subject was dropped for
the order Of the day, which the gov

NJ. Del Case entered the Chamber

in the circumstances under which he
had taken office. He believed. he SAID,
