A HEAVY VOTE ROLLED.
New York Is St-ongly Republican.
 Nebraska In Doubt
MARYLAND AND KANSAS IN LINE
Returns Arrive Slowly Because of the CnusuaIly Large Votc--LittIe Disturbance Rcportcd-3oEtcn Gives Majority For Bryan. Greater New York Disap-
 points Expectations.

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-McKinIey has been elected president by the highest electoral vote ever given q candidate for the presidency, far exceeding the vote for Cleveland in the landslide of 1892.
 He will have majority of 129 in the electoral college, with Nebrnyska's vote in doubt. According to the very latest returns the figures are: Mckinley, PSI; Bryan, 155; doubtful. s. a
 Mckinley has carried all the states re- earded as doubtful, including Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Maryland. He has gained Kansas, sssth Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.
 Mckinley has carried New York state by about 1S2,ooo. Greater New York gave Bryan a plurality of 26,942. Man hattsn borsuga (New York city) went Democratic by about 2S,0OO and Kings (Brooklyn) Republican by about $500.
 Odelfs plurality in the state will prob- ably be 10000 less than Mchinley's.
 The next congress in both branches will be Republican by slightly increased majorities. The senate will proba bly, stand 53 Republicans, 29 Democrats and Populists and Silverites. The house will probably stand 1oO Repu blicans, 153 Democrats and Populists and Silver Republicans.
 In the next New York legislature the Repu ublicans have shown an apparent net gain of II mem bers for the two houses The senate will probably stand Rcs,un licans, S4; Democr -s, I6. This Is as against 27 Republicans and 23 Demo cratic senators in the last legislature. The assembly figures show: Republic ans, 100; Democrats, 50. This Is to be compared with S3 Repu olicans and 57 Democrats in the last assembly. A gain is thus shown of seven votes for the Re publicaps in both the senate and assem- ply and corresponding loss to the Dem ocratic majority.
 A gain of seven Republican congress men io the state is another significant result of the election. The representa- tion at Washington will be: Republicans, 2S; Democrats, II. In the last congress the figures were only 16 Republicans to 1S Democrats.
 At q late hour last night National Com mitteeman Joseph Nanley supplemented his previous statement as follows:
 ''Ihe reports at headquarters show that President Mckinley is reelected by an electoral vote larger than lie received in 1896. New England, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Mary land, West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Wis consin, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa. North Dakota and South Dakota are all in the Republican column.
 No definite information has been re- ceived from Indiana, Kansas or the oth- CT western or northwestern states"

THANKSGIVING IN SIAM.

In the capital of Siam. soon after the harvest of rice has been safely gathered in, this peculiar harvest fes- tival service of BrafIminical origin draws thousands of people to the Great Swing, which is situated on q small green plot in the neighborhood of the palace. The master of the cere- monies, appointed by the king, comes to the scene of merry making accom- panied by a long procession of sol diers, marines. native bands. buffalo and bullock carts. with sheaycs of rice and BrahInin priests clad in white robes. and wearing tall conical hats.
 He is carried by six or eight men in a silded chair. and screened from the fierce rays of the sun by q gigantic state umbrella. When he reaches the raised platform on which he is to re- main during the ceremony, he sits down and places his right foot on his left knee. In this position he must re- main for nearly two hours. The pen alty for removing the foot was for merly loss of rank. condscntion of property. and immediate ill-usage by the bystanders. Public opinion is still strong enough to insist upon this little understood detail. though no legal pun ishment would now follow it's onis- sion.

AS ENGLAND SEES IT.
Strong Interest In American Elec-
 tio0 Abroad.

LONDON, Nov. T-The weakness of American securities on the Stock EX- change yesterday was a reflection of the strong interest taken here in the Amer ican election and recognition that. al though the success of AIr. Mckinley was regarded IS almost certain, the contest presented all kinds of possibilities, owing to the comple1ity of the issues before the American public.
 Additional interest was lent for Eng fish observers by the near conjunction with their own elections. which also turned almost wholly on the question Of imperialism.
 The nerniny papers went to press too early to se in n position to comment ca the result, but all publish editorials and elaborate sispstches depicting the prog reSs of the contest. All are impressed by the comparative fewuess of disorders.
 The Daily Chronicle says: Consider ing the excitement over the enormous electoral area. the tranquility of this great contest is remafkahle.'
 The Standard says: ''There can be no reasonable deubt tAat President MctAin ley has been re-electea.'

Indiana hz 3Q.OOO.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 7.-The returns from Indiana indicate that the Republic ans have carried the state by q plurality that will reach 3O,OG0. If the ratio of gains continues, the Republicans will also elect their state ticket and have ma jorities in both branches of the lesisla- ture. The returns from the congress dis tricts are not complete enough to base a conclusion upon, but it is certain that the Republicans have held their own and have possibly elected their candidate in the Fourth district, making q gain of one member The Democratic campaign con- mittee does not concede Republican vic tory, but claims that later returns from cratic gains

CHICAGO. Nov. 1.-RaSing their es- inmates on the first 210 precincts receiv- ed out of ], ,12I, leaders of the Demo- cratic party in Cock county say Presi- dent N1cIiinley's majority in this county will be about 15,OOO, but that Alschuler, the Democratic candidate for governor, will carry the state. Three hundred and ninety cut of 1,127 give Mckinley 61 ,S1O and Bryan 57,8O5. Twenty precincts in Illinois outside of Cook county: Mchin- ley. 3,6oS; Bryan, 1876. Same in 1896: Mckinley, 3,3S7; Bryan. 1,S42. The same precincts give Yerkes (Rep), for governor. 3,54O; Alschuler (Dem.), 1862. From late indications McKiniey's pluraH- ty in Illinois will exceed 15,O00. Ma tional Committeeman Payne tRep.) claims Illinois by that figure and gives Yates for goyernor o0,000.

Ctzh Lest to Bryan.

SALT LAKE CITY, Nev 7-The re- turns thus far show Republican gains large enough to make it reasonably sure that Mckinley has carried the state, and the proba abilities are that Sutherland, the Republican candidate for congress, and the entire Republican ticket are elected. Ihirty-three voting districts heard from ia this city give Mckinley a majority of TC0. The country districts show propor- tionate Republican gains. The same ra- tio maintained throughout the state would give Mckinley majority of over 10000. The entire Republican state tick ct is unquestionably elected, and the chances are the Republicans will have q majority of the legislature.

OMAHA, Nov. 7.-Tbe returns from the state are coming in slowly, less than POO out of the 1,611 precincts having been heard from. These indicate an apparent plurality of from 2,0OO to 4,O0O in the state for Mckinley, although the Fusion ists say only the Republican precincts are being heard from. Little is heard from congressional districts except from the Second district. where Mercer llep) is probably elected. The city of Omaha is showing some gains for Bryan. The leg islaturs will in all probability be Repub Iican. Several state districts usually very close have given Republican plurality on the national ticket.

Van Sant tRep.), fer governor, is still leading slightly on the incomplete returns, but the vote is tos close to state definitely. Republicans claim all seven csngressmep and tke figures back the claim as to six of them. Nothing complete has yet been heard as to the legislature.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 7.-Bryan carried Louisiana by . majority ap- paratively light. The state returns also send q Democratic delegation to con- gross. There was a Republican opposi- tion in all six districts. but the Demo- crats won easily. Bryan carried New Orleans by a majority of 12,00O. The election was quiet throughout the state. The weather was perfect. A constitu- tional amendment increasing to S1OOO0O the amount to be paid in pensions to Confederate veterans was carried.
Waterbury Democrat., 1900-11-07

Democrats are still clinging to Hall of Elk. NIutchler of Northampton, Green of Berks and Polk of Northampton. One or two of these may yet be swept away. It means gain of at least five Republicans. The tremendous ground swell which swamped Bryan has also knocked galley
 west the calculations of the anti-Quay faction in this state, and at midnight fig ure- sf conservative men indicate the probable election of Colonel Matthew Stanley Quay as his own successor in the United States senate.

The Evening News says that if Mckinley's ratio of majority in the 11O districts heard from is maintained throughout the state his majority will be 9OOOO. The Republican state ticket has also been elected. but by smaller ma jority. At 10 o'clock it was thought that the Republicans had elected all their congressional nominees.

NEW TOHk CITY.
Election e2insly Quiet Large
 Vote Cast Early.

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-Electon day in New York WAS all that the most captious critic could desire. There was q sting in tho fresh November air early in the IRsrning that made even the usual late sleepers willing to bestir themselves when by SC deing they could avoid lsrx wait at the pslls and bs able to exercise the highest duty sf the citizen.
 AS result of the excellent csaditisns tssre WAS very heavy vote cast throughout the city, the early bird being particularly in evidence. Up to neon ia most of the election districts more than twe-tairds ef the vote was east. and it was necessary in but few of the dis tricts to send runnerS out to brin. the tardy ones to the polls.
 The election officers did their work with fairness and dispatch. In some of the heavy districts an average of i've votes were cast every minute during the early hours, and strin=s of men stood yatiently in lire. Every man seemed to siink that he would not nave to wait so long if he came early, and if he was disappointed he stuck to his post rather than risk the chance of bein. able to re- turn vixen the rush was not so great and possibly bcin: shut out altogether.
 In spite of the clashes that occurred between the police authorities and the state superintendent of elections on Mon day, leading up to the indictment of Chief of Police Deyery, the election was one of the QEetest that have ever been held in th.s city. Such q thing as 2 serious dis turbancs was unknown. Superintendent nt McCcllaSh's deputies were on hand throughout the city, especially in thc suspected districts, and, nltheusf tkerc were some arrests and 6 flaw heated arsu- neRts, the vote oR the whole was a thoroughly honest one and the count equally SC.

BALTIMORE. Nsv. 7.-McKinley has carried Maryland beyond the shadow of a doubt, the only question to be settled being the size of his majority. With practically complete returns from the city he has 2 majority here of about 6,5O0, while from the state scattering returns indicate an additional surplus of $500, making his total majority ia the state about 10000. There ia no req son to believe that the final figures will vary greatly from those given above
 Chairman Fandiycr of ths Democratic state central committee admits Hryan's defeat in tRe state, while Chairman Goldsborough of tho Republican commit tee says that Mckin!ey's majority will reach 11,00O at least. It is also certain that the Republicans have elected four out of the six congressman, while the remaining two will probably be Demo- cratic, although later returns may change this outlook. 5le s.
