BETTER PROSPECTS FOR SILVER.

London, Nov. S.-There are better
prospects for silver, according to
the Statist, which says:
"As the silver in the reserve is now
at-an irreducible minimum, the
whole of the further demand for
rupees will have to be met by pur-
chases of new silver. If India ab-
sorbed 100000 ounces Of silver
in the past year of famine, what will
it require in year of prosperity? The
worlds production of silver is not
much over l6O,O0O,000 ounces, and
India's requirements in the past year
have been equal to nearly forty per
cent. of the total output. From the
closing Of the Indian mints until the
current year India's purchases Of sill
yer were not more than about Is, 000,-
900 per annum. Now we have the
prospect that the demand may be &c..
900, 900 ounces year. 1t will be evil
dent therefore, that the ILdian gov
ernment will be a constant and large
buyer of the silver, and that the price
in the future will probably rule at a
much higher level than it has done
since the closing of the Indian
mintS"
The r. c. p. A. will hold their
regular meeting this evening.

2S4 VOTES.
Latest Returns Do Not
Change Result.
BRYAN FOR SENATOR.
Nebraska Very Close Bot
Legislature Democratic.

New York, Nov. Slater returns
serve only to confirm the great Re-
publican victory Tuesday.
Returns from Nebraska came in
slowly, but it is now thought the
Republicans have carried the state.
The legislature is probably fusionist,
which ensures the election of William
j. Bryan as Senator.
Kentucky is given up by the local
republicans but still claimed by the
national committee.
The republicans have swept West
Virginia and carried everything.
Chairman Manley claims a net gain
for the republicans of five United
States Senators and 25 Representa-
tives. The defeat of Congressman
John ]. Lentz Of Ohio is particularly
gratifying to the republicans.
San Francisco, Nov. S.---The ma
jority for Mckinley continues to grow
and the indications are that it will
reach $4,000. The republican elec-
tors have carried the city by 5000 or
10000. The republicans have elected
all seven congressman and the legis.
lature is republican.
Portland, Oregon, Nov. s S--Com-
plete returns from all but three small
counties give Mckinley plurality of
.14,2s5. s..... u ..,.............
Louisville, KY, Nov. s.-The Cour-
ier-Journal, with all but 81 of the
1884 precincts in Kentucky, returned,
puts Bryan's majority at 1854, Beck
hams 4O63.
The missing precincts are evenly
divided.
Leslie Combs, chairman of the Re-
publican committee says: "We still
believe Yerkes is elected by 5000,
out Mckinley run behind him about
900. We claim four republican con-
gressmen.
Wilmington, Del, Nov. S.--Unof-
fetal returns of the election in Della
ware show the total for Bryan 1888;
Mckinley 2l,S6l.

DAWSON GROWING.

Washington, Nov. GA report re-
ceived from U. S. Consul McCook, at
Dawson shows that Dawson is grow
ing rapidly. 1t presents great con-
trast to the Dawson Of 1898. 1t no
longer appears like a mining town,
but rather a thriving commercial
centre. 1t is crowded just now, for
more come in than 60 out. Electric
railways are promised by 1901, and
public schools have been opened and
are we'll attended. The cost OF out
put of mines has been reduced, thus
enabling properties to be profitably
worked now which would not have
yielded gains two years ago. Consul
McCOok thinks there should be con-
tinued output of from $4,000, 900 to
$40, 100000 worth Of gold annually
for many years to come, if the expen-
ses are still further reduced.

Sixteen states and the District of

The maritime provinces have sup.
ported the Laurier government more
strongly than before in Nova Scotia
the four mining counties of Cape Bre-
ton Island sent solid contingent of
five liberals to Ottawa. Among the
defeated conservative candidates there
is Sir Charles Tupper Bart, who en-
countered his first political reverse of
40 years unbroken public life. This
was probably his last election. The
vote was Tuppef, conservative, 3,463;
McDOugal conservative, 3,463; john
stone, liberal, 1857; Kendall, liberal,
3,S75. Sir Charles Tupper arrived

of the surprises of the election.

A Serious Charge.

An attendant at the state hospital
named Coad from Mt. Pleasant, Ia,
was arrested last night and put in
charge Of the sheriff on a charge of
maltreating a patient named Gleason,
who it is inferred was a "tramp pal
tient" having no relatives Or apparent
residence in the state, at the time he
was committed from Cass county.
Coad claims that he did not injure
the man, as charged and that the
bruises on him come from falling down
stairs or in some other way. The oc-
currance is said to have happened a
week ago. but nothing in the outward
appearance of the patient indicated it
to the superintendent or his assistants.
Gleason is said to be in a precarious
condition and likely to die being very
weak and so crazy as to prevent any
proper treatment being given him.
Supt. Moore referred the matter to
the states attorney to take whatever
action was deemed best under the
statutes.
