REDUCED PLURALITIES
RHODE ISLAND.

Providence, r. l.. Nov. 6.-On an in
creased vote Bryan has made consider
able gains in Rhode Island. McKin!ey's
plurality of four years ago was 22,97S.
McKinley's plurality will be about 20, 000
it is believed. Providence, which in 1896,
gave Mckinley S211 plurality while
electing democratic mayor has elected
Granger, dem, by a plurality of less
than 1000. In 1896 every town in the
state gave Mckinley a plurality. The
republican state committee admits a re-
duced plurality.

IOWA.

Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 7.-At 1870 a. M,
It is apparent that Iowa Is republican
by 100, 900 and a solid delegation of eleV-
en- republicans will be sent to Washing
ton. If this ratio Is maintained and
there is little doubt it will be, McKin-
leys plurality will be 100000, the largest
on record in the state.

Boston, Nov. II a. m.-President
Mckinley has carried Massachusetts by
about $4,000 plurality, reduction OF
nearly hundred thousand from that of
four years ago The reduction in the
republican plurality was due not so
much to the falling off in the party vote
but to the return of the so-called gold
democrats of 1896 to the regular demo-
cratic ranks. The republican vote show
ed a net loss of about Is per cent.

VICTORY /! |!


Goldsborough of the republican COM
mittee says that McKinley's majority
will reach II, 600 at least. 1t is also GER
tain that the republicans have elected
four out of the six congressman, while
the remaining two will probably be
democratic, although later returns may
change this outlook.

1T is now generally accepted that the

weeks earlier than by the sea route. This
IS based upon information given by sea
captains versed In the condition Of the ice
in Behring Sea aud along the coast be-

assert that spring foods drive the ice ou.

shore lines as far north as Cape Nome O

that those who so desire can get Of at
