NEW JERSEY FOR M'KINLEY.
A Democratic Loss in the State Leg
iAIature.

Trenton, Nov. 7.-Incomplete returns
from different parts of the state indi-
cate that New Jersey has been carried
for Mckinley and Roosevelt by more
than $4,000. The Republicans elect six
of the eight congressman, the same
representation as last year, and will
have an overwhelming majority in
both houses of the legislature, insuring
the election of a Republican to succeed
William ]. Sewell, Republican, as
United States senator.
The Democrats have only succeeded
id carrying four out of 81 counties
Hudson, Hunterdon, Sussex and War
ren. They have made net loss of three
members in the upper house of the leg
islature The new senate will stand 16
Republicans to 4 Democrats and the
house will contain A Republicans and

On the other hand, the returns from
Indiana. Michigan, the two Dakotas,
Utah and Wyoming, as well as Ne
braska, seemed to indicate strong Re-
publican gains over 1896. Delaware,
Maryland and West Virginia have
given decisive Republican pluralities
for the national ticket.
The count in several of the far west
IN states was naturally so delayed as
20 give little indication of the outcome
there but they had ceased to have a
determining effect and before 10
o'clock the Democratic leaders had
given up the contest, and it was an
nounced that Mr.. Bryan had gone to
bed and was sound asleep.
The whole story is easily and briefly
told. The Republican ticket will have
larger electoral vote than four years
ago, but in the larger states of the east
and middle west, the pluralities have
been greatly reduced.
Massachusetts had fallen from 174,-
600 to so, New York from 26S,000 to
100000 and Illinois from 142,000 to 100,-
900 or less.
The following are the pluralities re-
ported at this hour. They are largely
estimated;

stronghold, and unless there IS a
landslide in the outside counties be-
yond all reasonable expectation the
pivotal state of New York had declared
in unmistakable terms, although by a
greatly reduced majority, for the Re-
publican candidates. AS the night pro-
gressed it only severed TO confirm this
judgment.
The roll call of electoral votes is ap-
parently as follows:
McKinley-California, 9; Connecti-
cut, 6; Delaware, 3; Illinois, "a; Indi-
ana, Is; Iowa, 13; Maine, 6; Maryland,

The returns from Illinois betrayed a
like condition. The Republican plural

was still far too large to be overcome.

Indiana's Republican Majority

Indianapolis, Nov. 7.-Indications
point to Republican majority in In
diana. A very heavy ballot was cast
in the state. Aside from the clash in
Clay county, where one man fell dead
with 20 bullets in his body, the cleo
tion passed off without incident. Col.
W. T. Durbin, the Republican guber-
material candidate, run very close to
the national ticket. Ten precincts in
Marion county Qndianapolis) show a
net gain of Psi for Mckinley over 1896.
The same ratio, if maintained, would
give Mckinley the county by 5000 ma
jority. Democratic congressman have
been elected in the Second and Third
districts, while Republican congress
sional candidates were successful in
the Sixth, Eighth. Tenth, Eleventh and
Thirteenth districts.

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
A Boy NimrOd.

There is n 6-year-old slayer Of wild
game in California. His name is Aus
tin Otis, and he can bring down deer
with as clean and pretty shot as any
veteran hunter In the country.
Straight through the heart" Is the
motto OF this sportsman in knicker-
bockers when he sights big game. and
straight through the heart goes the bit
OF steel that vanquishes his victim. for
the small, brown, childish finger on the
trigger is obedient to keen eye, a
bright mind and very natural ambi-
tion to be as good shot as papa"
Papa" himself couldn't have done
neater bit Of sportsman's work than
Austin achieved recently. That plucky
youngster went hunting recently with
no companion but a half breed fox
hound. Within two hours he had killed
a young buck weighing 65 pounds.
After the buck had dropped the lad
scrambled to the spot where it lay,
drew a knife from his pocket and cut
its throat, just as he had seen his IA

ther do after bringing down big game.
Then he ran home for help to haul in
his prize.
Austin's home is in the wooded hills
about 10 miles back of Cazadero. His
father owns some 5000 acres of land in
that locality. The lad was born near
Austin creek and was named after that
picturesque little river. He has lived
among the hills all his life and knows
them more thoroughly than most boys
know their school books. But Austin
has an advantage over other 6-year-
olds-he is as clever at his studies as he
is at hunting for wild game.
The champion child hunter is son of
Hamilton Otis. His grandfather was
Mayor Otis of San Francisco, his moth
er was a Miss Macondray before her
marriage. and Hall McAllister is his
uncle.

Mnfekins,s Clever Ape In London.

Mafeking's ape, who displayed so
much intelligence during the famous
siege and so much antipathy to the
Beers, has been brought to this country
by the officer who trained him and has
proved an object of curiosity to the
camp at Salisbury plain. Its principal
duty in the beleaguered town was to
ring the alarm bell the moment the
Beers commenced firing, and it per-
formed this work in so indefatigable
and conscientious manner as to merit
the approval of all the residents. Hav-
ing sounded the tocsin and warned the
inhabitants, the ape scurried off to it's
underground bombproof hole, thus
proving that it thoroughly realized the
danger to itself as well as to others

OF the house largely given up to them,
but two of the rooms in the second

run in the house. At s o'clock when
the newspaper men congregated ct Mr
Bryan's house sought to secure a state
ment from him, they were told that he
had just gone to sleep and could not be
disturbed When he retired to his own
room he glanced over the returns with
apparent interest and then expressing
desire to make up some of the rest he
had lost in the past few weeks, lay
down and was asleep in less than FIVE
minutes.
Mr.. Bryan remained in his private
apartments during the entire evening
and slept the greater part of the time
He did not make his appearance in the
parlor Of his house where the news
paper correspondents we're congre-
gated, until II o'clock and his coming
at that time was for the purpose of
notifying the press that he would have
nothing to say for publication during
the night. He added that he might pos
sibly give out statement today.
After this assurance, the visitors
withdrew and soon afterwards the
lights were extinguished and the house
presented no signs of animation Mrs
Bryan spent the evening entertaining
her company and gave no sign either Of
fatigue or disappointment.

from one-half of the counties in Penn

the fusion Of the Democrats with the
Municipal League cut down the Re-

elected by more than $4,000 plurality.

20 Republicans and 10 Democrats in
the present congress.
M. S. Quay's friends are claiming
they will have majority on joint bal
lot favorable to his reelection to the
United States senate and the returns
would appear to bear out this claim.
The control of the state senate as
between Quay and anti-Quay is in
doubt, with chances favoring the Quay
ites, though the complete returns may
give the organization of that body to
the opponents of Mr.. Quay.

Baltimore, Nov. president Nc
Kinley carried Baltimore city by a
majority of 6,995. The returns from
the counties are meager, but official
advices from 81 scattered precincts out
of 354 give him 1925, as against 16,-
1877 for Bryan, thus assuring him a
majority of at least 10000 in the state.
The defeat of the Democrats has been
thorough and surprising, it being GER
tain that they have lost five out of the
six congressman, with the probabili-
ties in favor of a clean sweep by the
loss of the other. The doubtful dis
trict is the Second, in which ex-Con-
gresham j. Fred C. Talbot is the
Democratic candidate and A. A. Blake
ney the Republican aspirant. The re-
turns, with one precinct missing, show
a majority for Blakeney, and it is re-
garded as highly probable that he is
elected. This means net loss of two
congressman to the Democrats, the
Fourth and First districts having been
represented by Democrats, though Gov
ernor John Walter Smith, who was
elected in the First, resigned soon af-
terward to become governor of the
state. His business partner, State
Senator John p. Moore, was nomi-
mated by the Democrats 10 succeed him,

Omaha, Nov. AT midnight 200
precincts out of 1,611 in the state had
returned results of the election, 80 of
these coming from Omaha and Doug
lass county. A majority Of them give
Republican gains which, if they hold
good throughout the state, would in
dicate a Republican plurality of from
1000 to 5000. However. the fusionists
say these returns are not significant of
the real result and that the outlying
districts will overcome these gains and
give the state to Bryan by from 5000

Detroit, Nov. 7.-There has been a
veritable Republican landslide in
Michigan and President Mckinley has
carried the state by majority various
ly estimated from $4,000 to 100000. The
entire Republican state ticket has also
been elected. although by a smaller
majority. The state legislature which
elects successor to Senator James

publican and Senator McMillan's re.
election is a certainty.

Columbus, Nov. AT midnight less
returns were received than at any pre-

This is attributed to the unusually
large vote and the full county and
district tickets. There were seven
tickets of presidential electors and
five state tickets. Out of 3,109 pre-
cincts in Ohio the state committee had
heard at 10 o'clock from less than 200

sex and Kent counties, according to
early reports, electing two senators and
six out of ten representatives in Kent
