Receiving the Returns.

The crowds waiting for election returns
gathered in front of the Chronicle Office
shortly after eight o'clock. The returns
were rather slow in arriving at first and
the attention of the large concourse OF
people was occupied with pictures and
local advertisements thrown by stereo-
pticon. Good order prevailed and the
cheering was at times deafening In
Republican and Democratic headquar-
ters large audiences gathered and heard
returns.
When it was learned that Mckinley
had carried everything in sight, there
was great cheering wherever there
were few Republicans gathered toge-
ther. The Morristown Band and the
Drum Corps, were called out, and, with
a multitude of jubilant citizens,
paraded the principal streets. Two
large bonfres were made in Parh
place. When the home of president
Grinnell Willis, Of the Republican
and Sound Money Club, on South
street was reached, halt was made
and Mr.. Willis made brief congratu
latory address. Daniel s. Voorhees,

The next Senate will stand IS Re-
publicans and 5 Democrats. The

ship of A Republicans and 16 Demo
Gratis, with majority on joint ballot
of 4S. This insnres the reelection of
Senator Sewell. The defeat of Senator
yanCleef, in Middlesex. conceded as
the strongest nominee his party could
have named, indicates that the Repub-
licans of that county got together ;
in earnest In Burlington they did the
same, and ABSOLUTELY and deservedly
buried Packer. Senator Martin. who
was beaten by Mr.. Margarum, put up
the strongest Senatorial fight ever
known in Sussex. Senator Bob
Hand came up smiling in Cape May
with we'll deserved increased ma
jority. Senator elect Wakelee, of
Bergen, as was expected, made mag
nificent run, and when it is borne in
mind that until six years ago that
county was rock-ribbed in its Demo-
cracy, his victory is all the greater.

ALLEGED NUISANCE.
Petition for DiscOntinuance of the
Blowing of Whistles.

Pet1t1On 1Or D1ScOntfnuaDce of the
Blowing of Whistles.
N. D. Malone Of Brookland, D. c., re-
Gently sent a communication to the Com
missioners stating that residents of Brook.
land had petitioned the officials Of the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad to cause the blow.
ing Of whistles Of locomotives approaching
the station when west bound, and also
when leaving South Brookland crossing to
be discontinued. He informs the Commis 3.
sioners that no attention was paid to the
petition, and he requests that the police
regulations be so amended as to stop this
annoyance.
The complaint was referred to the police
department for investigation and report,
and the superintendent has reported to
the Commissioners that the blowing of
whistles is made necessary by the block
system operated by the railroad. He ex-
plains this by saying that targets display
open or obstructed track by signal, and
that such display is noted by engineers and
indicated by the blowing of whistles.
says the question arises whether the rail-
road company should be required to dis
continue what may be an annoyance to
the complainant, or whether the safety of
the railroad traffic should depend on a
changed railroad system. The superinten-
dent states that he Is unable to recommend
q remedy unless some relief my be had

USE GINGER AS BEVERAGE.
New Jersey Tipplers Regard 1t as {
Choice FlayOrer.

Choice FIavOrer.
A dispatch to the New York Herald from
Trenton, N j., says: So prevalent has be-
come the use of Jamaica ginger and pep
permint as a beverage in south Jersey, es-
pecially in the prohibition county of Cum
herland, and so disastrous are they to the
health and morals of the young men of
the section, that there has been begun a
movement to obtain legislation to check the
evil.
Under the law as it now exists the au-
thoritfes are powerless. The ginger and
peppermint are used to give flavor and bite
10 hard and sweet cider, making a beverage
known "stone fence" which is as pro
ductive of intoxicat ton. and even worse re-
suits, liquor itself.
Cumberland county is local option and
has been so, except during that period
when county board of excise was Gre
ated. Prior to this time there were vigor-
Gus prosecutions in that county and the
jails always contained a colony of VIOLA
tors of the law. When the board Of excise
was declared unconstitutional the convivial
end of the varied society of the county fell
back on the beer parks, "speak-easies'' and
clubs.
Millville, Vineland and Bridgeton are
honeycombed with clubs. There are twen-
ty-three in Bridgeton. In these clubs each
man owns a locker and must be his own
steward. He must buy beer by the case,
liquor by the gallon and wine by the quart.

LEE RESOLUTION WlTHDRA" N.
His Friends Feared 1t WOuid Ra1se
Acrimonious Debate.

A dispatch from Havana yesterday says
At the opening of today's session OF the
Cuban constitutional convention Senor e
Oresada moved the rejection or the reso-
luton introduced Saturday by Senores HI
vero. Cisneros and Villuandas expressing
the sorrow of the convention at the de-
parture of General Fitzhugh Lee. The
resolution was thereupon rejected unanl-
mously.
Senior Rivero said after the session that
some Of the delegates intended TO attack
General Lee on the ground that ne had not
always been a friend of the Cubans, and
that, in view of this, General Lees friends
thought it would be better not ~ press
the resolution OF regret.
Senior Gualberto Gomez notified the con
vention that he would present for consld-
Grafton a motion in answer TO Neherai
Woods address to the convention:
General Sanguily Immediately objected on
the ground that such a proposa! would be
entirely out of place, as the aduress was
in the form of a military order. wnlch
could not he answered by the convention.
He urged that it would be wiser TO leave
the subject alone, as any discussion OF II
might cause lll-feeling between the con-
vention and the military.
Senior de Quesada moved tnat IN the
Judgment of the convention General Wood s
address should not under any consideration
be answered by the conventlon' anu lAis
was carried unanimously.
Senor Gomez, evidently mucn oisappolnt-
ed explained that his intention had been
misconstrued, as he had not meant any
discourtesy and the discussion. In MS opin-
ion. would have shown the military au-
thorities that the convention had no Idea
of interfering with the present govern
ment and that the United States need nave
no fear Of any action on the part or the
delegates. ... s,,o,
Senor Capote, president of the conven-
tlon. divided the convention into commit
tees of Ave and appointed Senior Llorente
and General Sanguily members OF phe COM
mittee Oh phraseoiogy. cr
The convention granted Senor C.sneros
leave of absence for a month, ana then
adjourned until Wednesday.
Civil Governor Nunez, in speclal report
to Senior Tamayo, secretary OF government
on the municipality of Havana, says;
Many irregularities occur IN the con-
duct of business, owing to lack OF organl-
"a ton and rules, as we'll as the absence
of any standard. Some appeals nave peen
established against the municipality de-
cisions. Others have not. What guarantee
has a concessionaire that the next Ayunta-
m.ento will respect his concession, especial
ly when 1t was not granted in accordance
with existing law? There Is no way TO
recover damages In such a case. II for
eigners were involved In the concessions,
it might happen that international compii-
cations would arise. The municipality
ought to appoint a junta OF citizens and
