ced his purpose to contest the electoral
votes of the state and to see congress
sional contests instituted by the de-
feated Republican candidates in the Sd,
9th and 10th districts. Combs said
There is no question that Yerkes car
ried the state by Substantial plurality
of votes cast. 1t will take the official
count to show how many ballots We're
not counted by the pre-arranged plans
of the Democrats to reduce the Yerkes
vote"
NEBRASKA.
Omaha, Neb., Nov. 9.-Almost COM
plete returns give Mckinley plurality
in Nebraska of over 5000. The Repub-
lican state ticket is elected by $500 to
1000. The Republicans elect the con-
gressmen in the 1st, I'd and the fusion
list in the Sd, 4th, 5th, and 9Th districts.

vacant /. House, Republicans 81, fu-
sionsts 40.
HANNA'S OPINION.
New York, Nov. Ex-senator Hanna
arrived here today. He said: "The peo-
pie of this country were overwhelming
ly in favor of sound money. law and
order, and the continuation of the poll
cy that stands for prosperity. Patriot
ism and loyalty to the flag were strong
factors in this campaign and that to-
gether with the aid of those generally
termed sound money Democrats or gold
Democrats, but whom I call American
citizens all combined to bring about
this result.
Nebraska was the greatest victory of
all. While we did our utmost and hop
ed for the best we did not expect to
carry it.
1--WE carried Kentucky and we pro-
pose to fight for it,"
"How about changes in the cabinet,
senator" Hanna was asked. "You
wont get word out of me about the
cabinet positions. 1t is none of my
Philippines he said:
1T think the insurrection will evapor-
ate almost at once, but if it should not,
think we can safely leave the matter
in the hands of the president"
1T has been announced that you are
a candidate for the presidency in 1904?"
"If I find the man who started that
report will kill him. wont talk about
that or allow anyone else to do it. 1t is
too absurd
"Do you mean to say you would de-
cline the nomination if rendered to
you?"
"Well something very like it. But I
don't wish to discuss that at all. 1t is
too foolish"

RODEY'S MAJORITY GROWING
1t Seems Now That It Will Reach 45OO
Or May Even Run Above That
Figure.
NEXT LEGISLATURE Is REPUBLICAN

Later reports confirm the complexion
of the council of the 34th legislative as
sembly as standing nine Republicans to
three Democrats. However, in the
house, the Republicans will only have
20, and the Democrats members. Re-
turns from Otero and Dona Ana coun-
tiles give Slaughter, the Democratic can
didate for the house, a small majority
over Llewellyn, Republican candidate
for the house from the district COM
posed of Dona Ana and Otero counties
Ascarate, the Democratic candidate to
the house from the district composed of
Grant, Dona Ana and Otero counties,
was elected over Barnes, the Republi-
can candidate. U. S. Bateman, for the
house. is elected from the district COM
posed of Lincoln, Chaves and Eddy
counties, and w. B. Walton the Demo-
cratic candidate for the house, is elect
ed from Grant county. The latest fig
ures therefore give the Republicans
twenty-nine out of thirty-six members
of the legislative assembly on joint bal
lot.
The majority of B. S. Rodey given
yesterday in the New Mexican as 4,035
will be increased some, but not mater
tally. His official majority will be prob
ably over 4,500.

OFFICIAL MATTERS.
THE GRAZING QUESTION

A dispatch from Washington says that
the-sheepmen of New Mexico and Ari-
zona have written Commissioner Binger
Hermann, of the general land office, to
thank him for the continuance of the
grazing privilege in the forest reserves
of those two territories. The secretary
of the interior had prepared an order
which provided that all sheep on tne re-
serves of these territories should be at
once excluded and further grazing strict
" forbidden. just before this order was
to have gone into effect, Commissioner
Hermann made a strenuous appeal to the
secretary in behalf of the sheepmen and
the order was modified so as to provide
that temporarily ho more permits for
sheep grazing in these reserves shall be
issued pending an investigation to deter
mine whether or not the sheep injure
the forests, but permits already issued
shall remain in full force. Meantime
the superintendent of forest reserves for
Arizona and New Mexico, I. B. Hanna,
has been called upon for report, and
largely upon his recommendation Will
depend whether or not further grazing
will be permitted, or be discontinued
altogether.
