M. D., presented a paper on the neu-
rons and cells of the brain in their
relation to the faculty of memory. and
after stating that. as with the other
tissues OF the body so with the cells
OF the brain. evidence of ~lessening
power and activity appears with the

that the electrical current through the

THE TRUSTS WILL FLOURISH
The Doubtful States Fall Into the Republi-
can Column, with Big Majorities
For Mckinley

became evident at very early hour
this evening that the election of Me-
kinley and Roosevelt was assured. At
half past eight o'clock returns from
nearly two-thirds of the election dis
tricts of Greater New York had been
received, indicating beyond question
that Bryan and Stevenson could not
expect more than $4,000 or 10000 plu-
rality in this Democratic stronghold.
and unless there was a landslide in
the outside counties beyond all reason
able expectation, the pivotal State of
New York had declared in unmistal-
able terms, although by greatly re-
duced majority, for the Republican
candidates. AS the night progressed
it only served to confirm this iudg-
ment.
The returns from Illinois betrayed
a like condition. The Republican plu-
rality of 1896 was greatly reduced, but
it was still far too large to be over
come.
On the other hand the returns from
Indiana, Michigan, the two Dallotas,
Utah and Wyoming, as well as Ne
braska, seemed to indicate strong
Republican gains over 1896 Delaware,
Maryland and West Virginia had given
decisive Republican pluralities.
The count in several of the far
Western States was naturally so de-
layed as to give little. indication of
the outcome there, but they had ceas-
ed to have a determining effect and
before 10 o'clock the Democratic lead
ers had given up the contest, and it
was announced 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
pluralities had been greatly reduced.
Massachusetts had fallen from 174,000
to $4,000; New York from 26S,000 to
135,000 and Illinois from $4,000 to
! 100000 or less.

CALIFORNIA.

San Francisco, Nov 6.-While the re-
turns from the State at large and this
city are very incomplete. enough are at
hand to warrant the prediction that Nc
Kinley has carried California by plu-
rality of ten thousand. McKinley's plu-
rality in this city will probably reach
900. The Republicans have elected Con-
gressman from the Third Fourth, Sixth
and Seventh districts. The Second and
Fifth districts are running very close. No
returns have been received from the
First district, but that has generally
becnceded to the Republicans. The
Legislature will be Republican. One
hundred and sixty one precincts com
plete, out of 2.19O outside of San Fran
cisco, give Mckinley 6,391, Bryan 6,3e1.
