NEW YORK, Nov. s.-Chief among the developments az to the election is the transferrin. of Nebraska from the list of doubtful states to the long list of those states whose voters pronounced in favor
 of Mckinley and Roosevelt. Advices up to late hour indicate that tho Republic ans have control of the legislature by three four votes on joint ballot. This insures two Republican senators in place Of John NJ. Thurston. whose term ex- pires in March, and of William V. Allen PopD, who was appointed to occupy the 1 scat of Monroe L.. Hayward, who died 1 before taking the oath of office. Idaho has probably chosen Bryan elect ors by small plurality.
 4 feature of the later returns is the i large pluraEties given for the Republican electoral ticket in the states of the far west, where imperialism has no ter TOTS, but some attractions California is reported to have given 10000 plurality for the Mckinley electors Oregon Il OOO, North Dakota 12.0O0. South Dakota
 I5Oo, Washington 5,UGU and Wyoming 4000.
 Kentucky has u1Guestionably given it's
 electoral vote to Bryan, and Beckham,
 the Democratic candidate. has probably beaten Yerkcs in the race for governor. A Strikin. feature of the result in Nlr-
 ginia is that Mr. Bryan carries the state by plurality of several thousand less
 than the aggregate pluralitles of the Democratic ongressmen.
 New York state gives Mckinley a plu- rality of 145,243 and Odell 1I1,39 The Fifty-Scventh congress will have a Republican majority Of p in the sen
 ate and 43 in the house.
 Corrected police returns covering all the boroughs in the city of New York | show a plurality for Bryan in the great CT city of 2T,G21, the same territory giv
 ing MT. Stanchteld plurality of HOGS over Odcll In the boroughs Of Manhattan
 and the Bronx Bryan's plurality over Mckinley was 27,805 and Stanchfeld's over Odell 3S,1TO. In Kings McKinley's plurality was 3,044, and Stanchfeid car ried the county by 2,3S6.
 Not in many year. have the Republic
 ans had so large majority in the senate of the United States as that which Theo- | dore Roosevelt will call to order as vice
 president on March 1, 1901. For several
 years the Republicans have held pre-
 carious control of the b6ey, and not until
 late in the last session did they feel strong enough in votes to grasp the patronage of the organization, which had been di-
 vided between Republicans, Democrats,
 Populists, Silver Republicans and inde- pendents.
 Alter Marcn the majority VIII be so large that it will be possible to pass any bill or other measure that has been ap
 proved by the party. Democratic oppo siton will be futile if it is determined to pass a Nicaragua canal bill, a shipping subsidy bill or an amendment to the gold standard law. And the gains of this year are many as to practically remove anxiety about what may occur in the elections of 1002. It is scarcely possible that the Republicans can be deprived of
 their lead in the senate.
 The Republicans wiI have two sena- tors from each of 25 states, including Nebraska, and enc senator from each of seven states. The Democrats will have two senators from each of 12 states and one from each of seven states
 The Republicans will have in the Fifty seventh congress 200 members and the r Democrats, Silver Republicans and Popu- lists combined strength of 1J7 mem bers. This will give the Republicans d
 majority over all of 43. In the Fifty
 sixth congress the Republican majority is IS. The Republicans have accordingly made gain of 2S.
 The largest Republican congregational gains were made in New York and Penn ! sylvania. New York, which has 15 Re publican representatives in the Fifty sixth congress, will have 21 Republicans in the Fifty-seyenth congress, a gain of ( members, and Pennsylvania, which has 10 Republican members in the present congress, will have 2G Republican mem
 bcgs in the Fifty-seyenth congress, a gain of members.
