RHODE ISLAND.

Providence. r. l., Nov. 7.--On an in
creased vote. Bryan has made consid-
cradle gains in Rhode Island. McKin-
ley's plurality of years ago was 22,-
97S. Only half of the 43 districts in
the state have been heard from, those
missing including most Of those in the
cities with most of the SO in Provi-
dence McKinley's plurality will be
about 10000 il is believed
Providence, which in 1896 gave Nc.
Kinley S,211 plurality while electing a
Democratic mayor has elected Gran.
ger, Democrat. by a plurality Of less
than 1000 In 1896 every city and
town in the state gave Mckinley a

VIRGINIA..

Richmond Va, Nov 7.-Virginia's
majority in favor of Bryan is appar
emily about 10000. The majority on
the congressional ticket will aggregate
more than this.
The indications are that certainly
nine, and probably all the Democratic
candidates for congress are elected
The ninth district is, at midnight, the
only one in doubt, and the chances are
in favor Of the Democrats. There has
been no disturbance of any kind in the
state The election has been an un
usually quiet one.
