MASSACHUSEu

Boston. Nov 7-President Mckinley
has carried Massachusetts by about so. -
600 plurality a reduction of nearly 100. -
600 from that of four years ago. The
Republicans have elected 10 and possibly
II of the congressman, a few by an in
creased plurality over 1895. but in the
majority of the districts their candidates
ran behind those of four years ago.
While the total vote for governor was
somewhat behind that given the national
candidates. ". Murray Crane, was re
elected by a somewhat larger plurality
than that received by President Nc
Is inley. The reduction In the Republi-
can plurality was due not SO much to the
falling off in the party vote, but to the re
turn of the so-called gold Democrats of
1856 to the regular Democratic ranks
which sWeled the vote of four years ago
by nearly 10 percent. The Republican
vote showed Il ret loss of about IS per
cent. Outside of the vote for presi-
dent the interest in the election centered
in three of the congressional districts
the Third, Fifth and Tenth. Returns OF
the first named district were so late that
a this hour no definite result can be
given, election being claimed by the
managers of both candidates. In the
Fifth district the present congressman
William s Knox, was reelected. In the
Tenth district returns indicate the re-
election of Congressman Henry F. Ma

fairs in China

The alignment of the powers on the
British German agreement is now com
plete. Aside from Italy and Austria,
whose adherence to the agreement was
expected, owing to their political rela-
lions with Germany Japan is the only
one of the powers which has given I'M
conditional assent to the agreement.
AS the matter stands, five of the pow
ers are united in all the the terms of the
agreement, viz: Great Britain, Ger
many, Italy, Austria and Japan; three
of the powers, United States, France
and Russia, accept the clauses relating
to the open door, and the erlitorial in
tegrity of China, but withhold action on
the third clause to future procedure in
case any power seizes territory. The
Associated Press in its London dis
patches announced that the Russian
reply had been received at the British
foreign office, unreservedly accepting
the first two clauses In regard to the
third clause, Russia referred the two
contracting parties to the Russian circu-
lar of April %, saying that she would
modify her attitude according to cir
cumstances.
The chief effect of the exchange has
been In bringing five of the powers to
an agreement, to respect the "open
door," and the integrity of China and to
consult among themselves as to the
future course in case any of the other
powers sought to take Chinese territory.
These "other powers as the negotia-
tions have now been shaped, are the
United States, France and Russia AS
to the United States, there is of course
no possibility of an initiative in taking
territory so that the terms of the third
clause would apply to France and Rus
STA, and would bring about concurrent
action of the five powers, in case either
of these two sought to extend their do
main In China.

BaIdwin's Mills to Reopen.

Report from Elkton is that the
large cotton mills situated at Bald
wins Bank, three miles north of
Elkton, which have been closed
down for the last six or eight years,
will shortly be purchased by a
syndicate of Philadelphia capital
lists, who will have them Thoroughly
repaired and put them in operation
in the near future. At present the
small mill is making tapestry, but
only employs a small number of
hands. The large mill, if started,
will employ over two hundred
hands.
We very much doubt the encour
aging prediction that the cotton
mills will be again reorganized and
started. This is an era of concen-
tration of business, not of diffusion.
At favored railroad centers in large
cities business is steadily concen-
trating in the hands Of syndicates
controlling immense capital. The
individual and his enterprise are
being steadily pushed off of the
earth.
