 Awaiting Further News.

Chicago, November 6.-At midnight Sena- tor Jones arose from the large, easy chair at his desk, stretched his arms over his head and said:

 "Dou you mean that you concede New York to the Republicans?"
 Well" replied the Senator, "the Re- publcans claim New York, and 1t looks like they have it, but I am not going to con- cede anything tonight"
