washington. Nov. S.-William Mckinley
states by an electoral vote greater than
that received by him in 1885, and the in
olcat1ons now are that he will have 2S4
oallots cast for him in the electoral COL
lege. The house of representatives will be
safely republican. There are several dis
trlcts where the vote Is close, but there
Is no doubt that there will be a splendid
working majority to support the admin
tstration.
An analysis Of the returns shows that
the efforts of the anti-lmperialists in the
New England states was not without
effect, and Massachusetts,. Connecticut
and even Vermont give reduced vote for
the republicans compared with four years
ago.
Changes in the West.
In the west, however, there have been
some surprising changes since Mr.. Bryan
was last candidate. In Colorado. the
great silver state, the democrats have
lost over 100000 votes and losses are re-
ported from the entire mountain district.
In some southern states the same condi-
ton prevails to certain extent, notably
Virginia. Missouri comes to the front
with an old-time democratic majority.

ticians to ascertain how many people
own and occupy their houses and
farms; how many are in debt for their
homes, and to what amount. Just why
this sort of information is collected
does not appear on the surface, but it
may prove to be of general interest and
of national value.
Some writer's on social economy calm
that Indebtedness on home or farm
property is due to the poverty OF the
people, and that in spite of rich soil,
and apparent prosperity, people are
growing poorer instead of richer. On
the other hand, it is claimed by emf
nent people, like Senator Pettigrew,
that debt is an indication of prosperity
and that people borrow in order to en-
large their business. In the absence
of detailed facts one Of these arguments

FRANCE HAS A MODEL PRISON.
officials Taught Principles Of Dis
cipline and How to Pre-
vent Crime.

Frances new prison at Fresnes,
some eight miles from Paris, is the
largest in the world It takes the
place of three old prisons, is situated
in healthy district, and covers, with
its main buildings, flower gardens and
villa residences of officials, over half
square mile, says the London Ex-
press.
The prison, unlike our penitenti-
aries, is not built on the star plan,
but consists of five rectangular
blocks, one of which is the infirmary.
The plan is the cellular, and the num-
ber of cells reaches the huge total of
1924. AS, however, accommodation is
provided on the Association" system
for 400 privileged prisoners, the total
criminal capacity is 1924. AS sani-
tarium for the criminal Fresnes is
unique. AS his or her present home
it boasts the proud record of being
only half full, for crime, or at least
punishment by imprisonment for
crime, is diminishing in France.
The system at Fresnes is interest
ing-possibly, it is worthy of imita-
ton. The authorities believe in fresh
air and sunshine, those sworn foes of
the microbe and friends of health.
Hence, as already stated, the prison
is model sanitarium. Otherwise the
criminal is gently educated. He works
at some trade and can purchase from
the proceeds of his work extra food
and personal requirements s-with the
exception of tobacco. When the pris-
oners go to worship, which is not COM
pulsory, or to school," which is, they
wear hoods so as to prevent mutual
recognition on release. In some of
the workshops this rule does not OBJ
tain. The reason for this apparent
inconsistency is not clear.
Even the officials receive instruc.
ton on such subjects as the preven.
ton. of crime and prison discipline,
and as result of this the excellent
idea of the whole prison is admirably
carried out. A final feature of Fres.
mes is the severe simplicity of its
architecture compared with the ba.
ronial style of many of our prisons.

Washington. Nov S.-The next senate.
assuming that the state legislatures will
fulfill their duty and choose senators to
represent their states, will stand, on the
basis of Tuesdays election, 49 republicans,
q democrats and nine independents, with
the legislatures In doubt in three states
with the privilege of electing five senator's
at this time. The legislatures in doubt are
Delaware and Nebraska, in each of which
states two senators are to be chosen, and
Idaho, with one senatorial chair to be filled.
Among those classed in the Independent
column are Senators Stewart, of Nevada,
and Kyle, of South Dakota. who. in the
last congress, acted with the republicans
on all party matters; Turner, of Washing
ton, and Harris, of Kansas, who acted with
the democrats, and Wellington, of Mary
land.
Washington, Nov. s. - Representative
Loudenslager, who Is in charge Of the
eastern headquarters OF the republican
congressional committee, said that his
returns and the press dispatches indi-
Gated that the republicans would have
203 members in the next house of repre-
sentatives, against 154 for the opposi-
: ton. At the headquarters Of the demo-
cratic congressional committee, Mr.. Kerr,
the secretary. denied the claims made by
the republicans to majority of from 40
: to so in the next house. He says that the
information he has received makes It GER
tain that the democrats will have at least
/ 166 members, with the prospect of one
or two more seats which are still in doubt,
leaving the republicans the majority on
! the. face of present advices of only Is.
Chairman Richardson refused to give out
any statement on the general result,

the piano organs through the streets

a supreme contempt for the people who

that is dealt out by them.

MARKET Is FIRM.
Reported Slump Has Not Taken
Place In the Price Of
Steel.

[News-Democrat Leased Wire Service.]
Pittsburg, April 1S.-A reported prob
able slump in the steel market has yet
to materialize. The rumors to that ef-
feet are as yet unfounded. According
to an Official Of the Carnegie Steel Co.,
there is no immediate prospect of any
cuts in present prices Of iron and steel.
In structural material, including beams.
channels and angles, there has been no
change in prices for some time, and the
mills are something like so days behind
the orders. In merchant bar there has
been a slump in the demand, largely
due to the strike of machinists in some
quarters and a possible reduction in
price is looked for. In discussing these
matters another leading manufacturer
said that the talk of a pronounced
slump may be for the effect 1t may have
in the stock markets. Indefinite sus-
pension of the mills Of the American
Steel and Wire company in the Pitts
burg district is not to be as~general as
at first supposed. 1t is now reported
that orders have been issued to resume
work at the Braddock plant in the wire
drawing and rod department.
