Baltimore, Nov. 6.-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 a majority here of about
g. 100, while from the state scattering
returns indicate an additional surplus
of $500, making his total majority in
the state about 10000. There is no
reason to believe that the final figures
will vary greatly from those given
above. Chairman Vandiver of the dem
ocratic state central committee admits
Bryan's defeat in the state, while Chair
mar Goldsborough of the republican
committee says that McKinley's major
ity will reach 1900 at least. 1t is also
certain that the republicans have elect
ed four out OF the six congressman,
while the remaining two will probably
be democratic, although later returns
may change this outlook.
Missouri.
St. Louis, Nov. 6.-The late closing
Of the polls u o'clock, an unusually
heavy vote, and the fact that seven con-
stitutional amendments voted for will
be counted first, will make the returns
on state, congressional and national
tickets in Missouri very late. 1t is be-
lieved the worlds fair amendment Sc
cured a majority in St. Louis.

Patriotic Indians.

The Indians on the Fort Totten
reservation celebrated McKinley's
victory last night by a big blow
out in the council room at the
agency. The hall was profusely
decorated and large pictures of
Mckinley and Roosevelt were con-
spicuously displayed. Banners
were painted by the Indians and
hung on the walls bearing these
inscriptions. "Plenty for the
poor; We are glad when supper
time comes" This had reference
to the Republican campaign pict-
ure where the calf left it's mother
and went pell nell after the steer.
Another banner read. Prosperity
for all: thank God for four years
more with a full dinner pail
Four years ago the Indian vote
was largely Democratic. This year
the Republican vote was three to
one.

enced by a decline at Liverpool. A bit
of buying on yesterdays export sales
rallied the price to 711s@as during
the first hour, but the bulge did not
hold. Liquidation on the liberal re-
ceipts and lack of outside support kept
the price on the downward road. At

close was weak at the bottom, Sole

board reported 185 loads taken for ex-

Corn was strong all forenoon, but
eased off some later in sympathy with

FAIRMONT, w. Va, Dec. 6.-West
girginia's coal production has grown
70 be something wonderful. 1t is said
she holds now second place among
the other producing States of the
Union, and in few months will be in
the lead Strong efforts are being
made to bring the miners Of the State
and especially those in this region
into the United Mine Workers associ-
alton, and in a recent issue of Penn
sylvania newspaper an extract o. an
article on the subject is as follows:
THE organization of West Virginia, if
successfully completed, will mean that
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and llli-
nois operators with whom there has
been bitter competition, will be benefit
ed. The operators of Pennsylvania
and other districts that are now organ
lied have been urging this move for
some time, claiming that they deserve
3 it for the recognition they had given
to union labor" Chris Evans, labor
organizer, and formerly editor of the
Journal, a newspaper published at In
dianapolis in the interest of the
United Mine Workers, is at the Tav-
ern in this city and was accompanied
here by other members of the associa-
ton. Mr.. Evans was here in 1897 for
the purpose of advising the miners to
come out" but met with no success
in this respect, and his coming this
time is not to have the miners strike,
but to organize them, so that in case
a general strike occurs, West Virginia
miners will be implicated. We will
predict the advance that he or any
other member of the association will
meet with but little if any success,
from the fact that the miners of this
region are given steady employment
the year round, with the price for min
ing and the accommodations given by
of every fifty employed in this region
do not have single objection to offer
and that simply accounts for the little
interest being taken on the part of the
miners in becoming members of this or
any other organization. There is a
possibility, had Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois the same sort Of
coal as that of West Virginia-bitumi-
nous coal-and West Virginia their
Contaminated deaf ear would
be turned on West Virginia, as she now
turns on other States.
