The election of Mckinley and Roose-

New York has declared in unmistakable
terms, although by a greatly reduced ma
jority, for the Republican candidates
The returns from Illinois betray a Ike
condition. The Republican plurality
of 1896 was greatly reduced, but 1t is
still far too large to be overcome ON
the other hand, the returns from Indiana,
Michigan, the two Dakotas, Utah and
Wyoming, as we'll as Nebraska, seem to
indicate strong Republican gains over
1896. Delaware, Maryland and West
Virginia gave decisive Republican plu-
ral1ties.
The count in several of the-farWestern
states was naturally so delayed as to
give little indication of the outcome
there, but they had ceased to have a de-
termined effect, and before 10 o'clock
last night the Democratic leaders had
given up the contest, and it was al
nounced that Mr.. Bryan had gone to bed
and was sound asleep.
The whole story was easily and briefly
told: The Republican ticket would
have a larger electoral vote than four
years ago, but IN the larger states of the
east and middle west, the pluralities had
been greatly reduced

MARYLAND.

Baltimore, Nov. 7.-McKinley has car
rfed Maryland beyond the shadow OF a
doubt, the only question TO be settled
being the size OF his majority. Scatter
ing returns indicate an additional sur
plus Of $500, making his total majority In
the state about 10000. There is no
reason to believe that the final figures
will vary greatly from those given above.
Chairman Van Diver OF the Democratic
state central committee admits Bryan's
defeat i'm the state. IL is also certain
that the Republicans have elected four
out Of six congressman, while the remain

outlook.

MASSACHUSETTS,.

Boston. Nov. 7.-President Mckinley
has carried Massachusetts by about So
coo plurality a reduction Of nearly 100. -
900 from that of four years ago. The
Republicans have elected 10 and possibly
II of the congressman, a few by an in
creased plurality over 1896, but in the
majority of the districts their candidates
ran behind those of four years ago
While the total vote for governor was
somewhat behind that given the national
candidates, w. Murray Crane, was re-
elected by A somewhat larger plurality
than that received by President Nc
Kinley. The reduction in the Republi-
can plurality was due not so much to the
falling off in the party vote, but to the re-
turn of the so-called gold Democrats OF
1856 to the regular Democratic ranks
which sWelled the vote of four years ago
by nearly so percent. The Republican
vote showed a net loss of about Is per-
cent Outside of the vote for presi-
dent, the interest in the election centered
IN three of the congressional districts,
the Third, Fifth and Tenth. Returns OF
the first named district were so late that
at this hour no definite result can be
given, election being claimed by the
managers of both candidates In the

William s. Knox, was reelected In the
Tenth district returns indicate the re-
election of Congressman Henry F. Ma

their candidate, Joseph A. Conry. in the
Ninth district.
Massachusetts gave Mckinley 279, 97d

MAKING FIRES.
The secret OF Running Ranges at @
Minimum Expenditure
of Fuel.

A stove which is kept continually
running wastes very little heat in com.
parison with one which is kindled daily
or even three times a week, says the
New York Tribune. Every time a. fire
in the kitchen range is built over there
is an immense loss of fuel, and the
kitchen is heated up far beyond any re.
quirement of baking or boiling. These
new fires kindled ON special days dur,
ing the week give out more heat than
any continuous fire such as the range
gives out when it is kept burning night
and day at one-half or one-quarteI
force When it is wanted at full force
for baking the draughts are all re.
yersed and little extra coal is added
Such a fire does all the work of a new
fire without as much coal as the new
fire needs to. kindle it up, There are
many Kitchen ranges to be found in
market now which give out very little
heat, less than kerosene or gasoiene
stove, when the hampers are turned
of, and which when needed can be
speedily started into full working force
These ranges are no more expensive
than ranges that must be kindled
fresh every day. The secret of running
these ranges at minimum expenditure
of coal and giving out of heat consists
In the proper management of draughts.
