FACETI0US MR.. SCOTT.

NEW YORK, November 6.-An en-
thusiastic crowd of Republicans filled
the headquarters tonight. Three hun
dred and forty had been asked to sit
down to a feast which had been pro-
yided by the national committee. By
10 O'Clock all the rooms and Railways
were crowded with men, who chatted
and laughed and jostled each other
and moved here and there carrying
tidings.
When it was announced that Ma
tional Committeeman Payne had tel
ephoned from Chicago that Chairman
Jones, of the Democratic national com
mittee, had conceded Illinois and In
diana to Mckinley, a great shout went
up.
Senator Scott, of West Virginia, sent
the following telegram to Senator
Hanna:
Shake, old limpy, shake
The reply was as follows:
Telegram received. | am not limp
ing as much as | did Congratula-
lions to you all.
At ten o'clock both the national and
State headquarters were crowded to
their utmost capacity. The crowd
stayed for a while, but about eleven
o'clock commenced to go, and by half
past eleven had nearly all left, think
ing it not necessary to hear any more
returns

The returns from the State are coming

These indicate an apparent plurality
OF from 1000 TO 1000 In the State for
Mckinley, although the fusionists say
only the Republican precincts are being
heard from. Little is heard from Con-
gressional districts. except from the
second district, where Mercer. Rep. is
probably elected. The city of Omaha
isashowing some gains for Bryan. The
Legislature will in all probability be
Republican. Several State district usu-
ally very close have given plurality
on the national ticket. In the usual
course of events, these counties cut a
large figure in the complexion OF the
Legislature. which this year elects two
United States Aenators.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Midnight-
1t became evident at a very early hour
this evening that the election of Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt was assured. AT
half past s o'clock returns from nearly
two-thidrs of the election districts OF
Greater New York had been received,
indicating beyond question that Bryan
and Stevenson could not expect more
than 5000 or 10000 in this Democrat
ic stronghold, and unless there was
landslide in the outside counties. be-
yond all reasonable expectation, the
pivotal State of New York had declared
in unmistakable terms. although by a
greatly reduced majority, for the Re
publican candidates AS the night pro-
crossed, it only served to confirm this
judgment.
The returns from Illinois betrayed
a like condition. The Republican plu-
rality of 1896 was greatly reduced, but
it was still too far ahead to overcome.
On the other hand, the returns from
Indiana, Michigan, the two Dakotas,
Utah and Wyoming, as well as Ne
braska, seemed to indicate strong Re-
publican gains over 1896. Delaware,
Maryland and West Virginia had given
decisive Republican pluralities.
The count in several of the far west
ern States was naturally so delayed
as to give little indication of the
outcome there, but they had ceased to
have a determining effect and before
10 O'Clock the Democratic leaders had
given up the contest. and it was an
nounced that Mr.. Bryan had gone to
bed and was sound asleep.
The whole story was easily and
briefly told. The Republican ticket
would have a larger electoral vote than
four years ago, but in the larger States
of the east and middle west the plu-
ralities had been greatly reduced
Massachusetts had fallen from l74,-
900 to $4,000; New York from 26S,00l
to 10000, and Illinois from $4,000 to
100000 Or less.
The roll call of States at this hour
is apparently as follows:

BRAZIL, Ind, November Elm a riot
at Caseville early to-day one man was
killed. Eight men were severely
wounded Politics led to the fight.
The dead man is Wallace Graves, of
CaseviIle The wounded are William
Hustin and seven Austrians and ltal-

About fifty men became involved in
a political discussion in saloon dur
ing the night The Democrats and
Republicans finally separated, only to
come together later outside the saloon.
Some one shot Graves with a shotgun.
In an instant many weapons were
brought into action. Over 200 shots
were fired. The buildings in the vi
cinity stopped most of them. Local
officers quickly swore in a number of
deputies, and seeing an organized force
entering the field, the rioters fed. 1t is
thought the leaders will be appre-
hended, but feeling still runs high, and
if the combatants can again get to-
gether more bloodshed is not unlikely.
