The State and National Fights Both
Undecided.

OMAHA, NEB.. Nov. s.-The Evening

giving complete returns from tifty-tlve
counties. and il ten other counties. with
one precinct missing from each, out of q
total Of ninety counties, giving Mckinney
q, 223: Bryan. 5.196. The same counties in
1896 gave Mckinley S5,fI6; Bryan, 9654I.
This is net gain for Mckinley of Il, ,so5.
Bryan's plurality In 1856 was 1880.
With this ratio of increase throughout
the missing counties Mckinley will have a
plurality OF about 50G0 in the State. There
were 1880 to 5000 more votes po!led in
the State than in 1886. and the Fusionists
claim they are mostly from the cities and
towns, which have already been heard
from, and that the counties Yet unreported
will give Bryan a small plurality in the
State.
The State ticket is running close 70 the
vote on President. and it may require the
official count TO decide on Governor and
other State officials. Both sides claim four
out Of the six congressman
The Legislature is closer than any other
ticket. The Douglass county delegation
will be split abou. in half between Fu-
sionists and Republicans.
The latest returns indicate that neither
side will have more than five or six ma
jori,y on joint ballot.

From Farmers Review: Favorable
conditions for the growth Of what is
known as the Holland bulbs have been
discovered in the western part of the
state Of Washington, in San Juan
county. This county is unique in that
it consists almost entirely Of islands,
some 200 in number, surrounded by
water which never reaches a lower
temperature than 43 degrees Fahren-
heit in winter nor higher than "a de-
grees in summer. This equable tenn
perature. together with the copious
rains of that region, make 1t possible
to achieve results in the raising OF
bulbs which long-continned expert
ments in other parts Of the United
States have not been able to produce.
Mr.. George Gibbs of Orcus island,
after carefully studying the soil, eli
mate and temperature of San Juan
county for several years, in the fall
of 1892 planted a quantity of bulbs
which he allowed to remain in their
beds until the summer of 1894, when
he found an enormous increase in all
varieties. Not only was there phe-
nomenal increase in numbers, but the
bulbs had also attained an unusual
size, some tulip bulbs measuring seven
and oae-half inches in circumference.
The blooms obtained from these bulbs
are exceptionally fine and we'll de-
yeloped, and are ready for the market
two weeks earlier than those raised on
the mainland
About 400 tulip and hyacinth bulbs
are now planted in Lincoln park, Chi
cago, which have been sent there by
Mr., Gibbs from Washington, and their
development is being watched with
much interest by those in charge.
