OVER $4,000.
Chairman Dicks Latest Esti-
mate of Nash's Majority.

Columbus, o., Nov. 6.-Chairman Dick
at noon gave out the following:
I'VE have heard from SO counties So
still being out. These SO counties show
net Republican gains over the election
for governor two years ago of 27,175,
which added to Nash's plurality in 1899
makes a Republican plurality of 1918.
Cuyahoga county is among those not
yet reporting and that county is still
claimed by the Republicans although
the Democrats claim it by IS. But
with Cuyahoga as a stand off, the net
net result would be loss to Nash.
Jones carried Cuyahoga county two
years ago and Nash had 1884 over
Mclean, deducting this from 1918,
Nash's plurality in SO counties would oe
81, 827. Then if the other "a counties
maintain the ratio of the 53 that are in
the plurality for Nash will be over 75,-
600 and probably over $1,000 for the rest
of the Republican state ticket.
with Cuyahoga county conceded to the
Democrats the Kepublicans have 2 of the
other a 81 eoanaies haSa
Since noon Chairman Dick, on the per-
centage of gains, estimated the "a miss
plete returns may make Nash's plurality
over 5000 and the rest of the ticket con-
Siderably above that figure
Cleveland, Nov. 6.-Complete election
returns from Cuyahoga county give
Nash (Rep.) 31.741; Kilbourne Dem.),
32,010 Kilburne's plurality, 269.
The Democrats elect their entire leg
islatiye and county ticket with the ex-
ception of Hatfield for judge of the
common pleas court, who is defeated
by Phillips (Rep.) Phillips plurality is
1857.
Cincinnati Nov. 6.-Unofficial returns
received here from 81 of the IS counties
in Ohio show plurality for Nash, Re
publican, for governor, of 55,24S. The
seven counties not heard from gave
Nash two years ago a plurality of 5,87S-

HER Only FRIEND.
England is Heartily DislIked by All
Except United States.

New York Nov. 6.-According to the
London correspondent of the Tribune,
Englishmen have been noticing with
surprise the bitter resentment existing
in Germany caused by Mr.. Chamber
1ain's casual reference to the Franco
PruSSian war. 1t is a straw showing
the direction of the wind in Germany,
where, in spite of the emperor's cordial
relations with the reigning house here,
England is regarded as an industrial
enemy and is not liked. This revela-
ton of anti-English feeling in Germany
strengthens the desire of public men
and the press in London for a settle
ment of all outstanding questions be-
tween England and America. An ex-
preston commonly heard G that good
feeling with America will be worth more
than the closest alliance with Germany
The objection raised by Canada to
settlement of the canal controversy is
attracting attention, but the hope is
entertained that Premier I.aurier's in
f1uence will be exercised and that there
will be opposition from Ottawa to
embarrass the foreign office in opening
a way for the adjustment of the entire
series of Car adian questions.

The principle of extending govern
ment aid to fairs has become so firmly
fixed that it is not surprising to note
that the promoters of the Pan-Ameri-
can exposition contemplate asking the
nation to reimburse them to the
amount of 100000 on account of losses
sustained by reason of small attendance
and large expenditures. There is an
abundance of money in the treasury
and it is not at all unlikely that con-
gress will be found in a yielding mood !;
if not this one then the next. Let a
precedent once be established and it

San Francisco. Nov. 6-Fashion is
less capricious in China than in any
other part of the world, but. even there
a sentiment is growing in favor of al
