KENTUCKY.

Louisville, Ky, November 6.-At mid night the result of the election in Ken lucky was in doubt, with both sides claim ing the state and Presidential tickets. The Democrats may be considered to have the best of the argument.
 Ex-Governor J. B. McCreary, chairman of the Democratic state campaign commit tee, said:
 Bryan and Beckham have carried Ken lucky by safe majorities. The Democrats have elected nine out of eleven Congress- men, including Gilbert of the Eighth, Ke- hoe of the Ninth and Rhea of the third districts"
 Chairman Leslie Combs of the Repub- lican state campaign committee said:
 official returns from 28 counties have been received. In these counties Beckham, for Governor, has gained 1889 over Goebel last year, while Yerkes has gained 1902 over Taylor in the same counties last year. Jef- ferson County Gouisvlle) is not included in this estimate. This indicates that Yerkes has been elected by a safe majori- ty. In the Presidential race Mckinley has probably run 1900 behind Yerkes in the same counties"
 At midnight the Courier-Journal says re- turns from two thirds of the counties in the state show Bryan and Beckham major ities. The result will depend on the size of the majorites in the Eleventh Congress sonal district, which is heavily Republi- can.
 Louisville, Ky, November 6.-At 10 p. m. both Democratic and Republican commit- tees claim the state, though they furnish no figures in support of their claims The Louisville newspapers claim that Bryan and Beckham Mckinley and Yerkes have gained the victory in this state jus1 according to whether these papers support ed the Democratic or Republican tickets in the campaign Just closed McKinley's majority in 180 olft of 200 precincts in Lou isville and the county is 4059. In the saIce precincts the majority of Yerkes, Republi- can candidate for Governor, over Beck ham, Democrat, is 4,498.

NEW JERSEY,

Trenton, N. J., November 6.-Mdnight.- Fuller returns bear out the first srate- ment that New Jersey will give Mckinley and Roosevelt 50,OQ0 plurality. The Demo- crats have only succeeded in carrying four of twenty-one counties Hudson, Hunterton, Sussex and Warren. They have suffered a net loss of three members in the upper House of the Legislature. The new Sen ate will stand sixteen Republicans to four Democrats, and the House will contain forty-four Republicans and fifteen Demo- crats, the same as last year. The two Democratic Congressman are Salmon of the Fourth District, who is reelected, and McDermott of the Seventh District, who succeeds the late Congressmen William D. Daly, Democrat.

Chicago, November 7.-1:30 a. m.-Com- plete returns from fifteen counties in the state and partial returns form the others, including the full vote of Chicago, in Cook county, indicate plurality for William Mckinley that will probably exceed 90000.

Enrich
 the Blood

Impoverished blood is the SC cret of half the disease known to hunanity-rheumatism, dropsy, stomach and liver trouble, with all their attendant misery, may nine times out of ten be traced to the circu1atory system. Correct that and all goes well. Dr. Will liarns' Pink Pills for Pale People increase the red corpusc1es in the blood and thereby give it new life and richness. They also tone up the nerves and are a specific for many serious disorders.
 Mrs. Joseph M. Evans, of Cartervi1le, Mo-, sayss "Two years ago had dropsy of the left limb so severely that my phy- sicians said could not recover. I had been sick about year, and most of the time was bedfast. The treatment of the physicians did me no permanent good. l steadily grew worse.
 My brother finally insisted that try Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. The first box effected change for the bet- ter in nay condition, and continued to inn prove steadily.
 q took about six months steady treat ment. The result is that I do not now feel a trace of my former ailments"

The Illinois Supreme Court has decided that the ordinances of the city council of Chicago regulating the business of de- partment stores are not constitutional and are void. One of the ordinances prohibited the sale of meats, butter, lard, vegetables, and other provisions in the same building where dry goods, clothing, jewelry, and other articles were sold. The other ordinance prohibited the sale of spirlUuous and malt liquors in stores where dry goods were sold. The court holds. that the business of department stores is legitimate and is entitls to the protection of law.

The wise policy of the managers of tht
 New Yt rk and New Haven road in the
 last decade in reaching out and getting
 control of other railroads in Connecticut
 and Massachusetts, is now seen, as 1t it
 in position to meet the competition ot
 still greater railroad corporations out
 side. This point is nicely brought out in
 the New Haven Register, and THE BEE
 heartily agrees In the deductions arrived at. The Register says: Had the own.
 CTS and managers been satisfied with the
 original road and left the various feeders
 and branch lines to remain under an inde.
 pendent ownership, the New York, New
 Haven and Hartford would long ago
 have passed into other hands. The late President Watrous realized this, though he lacked the broad and really states. manlike grasp of the situation which characterized President Clark's manage ment of the property, and which result. ed in complete mastery of the New Eng land railroad situation between New York and Boston. It possess two routes to Boston, either of which is preferable to the route by way of Springfield, as well as the various lines which branch ir every direction and reach even into wor. cester. As distinguished railroad man recently observed, ''the Consolidated road Is an inexhaustable gold mine,'' an obvious reason for others to covet its possessions, but not an obvious reason for IIstifying its ssls. There are more and better reasons for the Connecticut di reOtors resisting such 6 change of own- ership and control than for their acquies- Ing in it, while from the standpoint of the public the reasons are favorable for the continuance of the property under the control of those who manage it bet ter than coyetous roads manage their property. There must appear other and different conditions than now exist for change before we should feel satisfied in regarding the chances ss favorable to such s changs,'
