Chicago, Nov. Sat ten o'clock last

quarters of the democratic congress
sional committee, Mr.. Kerr, the sec
retary, denied the claims made by the
republicans to majority of from 40
to 50 in the next house. He says that
the information he has received makes
IL certain that the democrats will
have at least 1866 members, with the
prospect of one or two more seats
which are still in doubt, leaving the
republicans a majority on the face

Claims sos Electoral Votes for Mckinley.
Chicago, Nov. s.-Republican ma
tional headquarters was the scene Of
continuous love feast all day and
well into the night. Returns received
from the various members of the ma
tional committee all went to confirm
the general result announced Tuesday
night, though in many instances the
oversanguine committeeman were
obliged to reduce their first predic-
tions regarding the size Of President
McKinley's plurality. Nothing was
received, however, that caused any
disquietude. Vice Chairman Payne
remarked: ave know we have won
and won easily. Nothing can worry
us now During The afternoon Mr..
Payne issued a statement claiming 30s
electoral votes for Mckinley, but he
seemed none too confident that this
number would be the result. The 3Os
included the vote of Kentucky and,
notwithstanding the assertions of the
republicans from the state that they
had carried the state, there was not
much confidence felt in the head
quarters that Kentucky had gone re-
publican. On Nebraska the feeling
was positive and the assurances from
republican leaders in that state ell

patch from Maj Gen. Lorne Campbell
has been received by the secretary OF

Washington, Nov. S.--Mlnister WI
called at the state department yester-
day and talked with Secretary Hay
for half an hour about the proceed
lngs of the foreign ministers at Pc
kin. The department takes the
ground that while the ministers
themselves are trying to get together
on common ground to present a
united front TO the Chinese in the
negotiations it would be highly i'm
polite to make public any little dis
sensions or differences. So all that
can be gathered officially is that fair
progress Is making. Minister WI
was concerned at the situation at Pao-
tingfu, where the Germans seem to
have condemned TO death certain high
Chinese functionaries. This subject
