Democrats Will Probably Have Ma
jority of Six on Joint Ballot.

Democrats Will Probably Have Ma
jority of Six on Joint Ballot.
Baltimore, Nov. "a conservative
estimate based on about half the vot-
ing precincts in the city and unofficial
returns from the state, made at a. m,
indicate that the Democrats will con-
troll the legislature and will have prob
ably 81 votes on joint ballot, which is
6 more than a majority. In order to
attain this result it will be necessary
that they carry the second Legislative
district in Baltimore City, which seems
probable.
Not more than half the re-
turns from the city are in and
these show an unusually close contest.
1t is not believed that the majority for
either party in Baltimore city will ex-
ceed 1000. Anything like accurate
figures are not obtainable, and even
the best informed are totally at sea as
to the result. Both Democratic and Re
publican headquarters are closed and
the leaders have gone home. Prior to
their departure the chairmen OF both
the Democratic and the Republican
state central committees gave out in
formal statements in which they
guardedly claimed both the city and
the state, without giving any fgures
upon which to base their assertions

Cooperation With New Adminis-
tratiOn,

New York, Nov. 5.-Edward NJ.
Shepard made public acknowledge
ment of his defeat tonight at police
headquarters in Brooklyn. He sent a
telegram of congratulation to Mr.. Low,
and dictated a statement to the repor-
ters, in which he expressed his hope
that the incoming administration would
be a successful one. His telegram
read:
With all sincerity 1 wish you the
utmost success in the great office to
which the people of Greater New York
have called YOU"
Mr.. Shepard then dictated this state
ment:
Il sincerely wish Mr.. Low a thor
oughly successful administration. The
people have indicated their decided
preference; not only is it the duty of
every good citizen to cheerfully ac-
quiesce in the result, but he should do
his utmost to make the result bene-
fetal to the city. All of us-Republl-
cans and Democrats alike-should 10y
ally hold up the hands of those whom
the people have chosen in all good
work on their part"

CROKER'S PHILOSOPHY.
The Tammany Leader Says Per-

petual Power Is Not wholesome.
New York, Nov. 5.--At 10 o'clock to-
night Richard Croker. again comment
ing on Mr.. Shepard's defeat, said he
could not ascribe it to any one issue.
''The people wanted a. change" said
he, land the organization bows to the
will of the people. Tammany Hall
has been in power for practically sew
enty years, and if any one party were
to remain in control for too long a pc
Rod the tendency would be toward a
perpetuation of power, until the result
would resemble a monarchy. Tam
many has always profited by defeat,
and / hope will do so this time"
Mr.. Croker said that all dissatisfied
persons had voted against the Demo-
cratic nominee, and that had contrib
uted much to the result. AS to his
own plans for the immediate future he
had nothing to say. He said, however,
that Mr.. Low would have the good
wishes of the Democracy in his admin
istratiOn.

kITCHENER's REPORT.
Beers Carried on Gums Under Cover
of British Ambulance.

London, Nov. 5.-Lord Kitchener in a
report to the war office, dated Nov. a.,
giving details of the recent engagement
near Brakenlaakte, Eastern Transvaal,
between Benson's column and the
Beers, says:
"The Beers were unable to remove
the guns they captured until British
ambulance went out, when, under cover
of the ambulance. the burghers carried
them off. The Boer losses were un-
doubtedly heavy. but no correct esti-
mate of them is obtainable. Command
ant Opperman was killed and Chris Bo-
tina was wounded. The Beers are re-
ported to have behaved badly to the
British wounded"
Lord Kitchener further reports that
Cape Colony to the eastward of the
western railway is cleared of Beers,
with the exception of the Fouchee-
Myberg- Vessels command, of 400 men,
with which Gen. French Is dealing.

IN MASSACHUSETTS.
Cranes Easy Victory-Unusualiy
Large Vote POIIed.

Boston, Nov. 5.-With no state or
national issues and but few local con-
tests to arouse interest, there were
more ballots cast in the state election
to-day than in any off year in the
history of the state. The total vote
exceeded 300, 900.
AS usual the Republicans had no
difficulty in carrying the state, w.
Murray Crane being elected governor
for the third time by practically the
same majority when he first ran for
the Office in 1899.
The state legislature of 1902 will be
strongly Republican, although the
Democrats gained a few votes. Jo-
siah Quincy the Democratic candidate
for governor ran about 10000 behind
the vote cast for the party candidate
in the Presidential election last year
but he so materially increased the
Democratic vote in Boston as to give
the local leaders great confidence for a
party victory in the municipal election
next month.

IN BRYAN'S STATE.
Republicans Maintain Their Ma
torities Throughout.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 5.--Indications at
10 o'clock based on meagre and scat
tering precinct returns, were that Ne
braska had reaff1rmed her verdict of
last year in favor of the Republicans.
Figures up to that hour. mainly from
the smaller towns and a few country
districts showed a Republican gain of
to the precinct over year ago when
the average Republican majority was
$500. If these gains are sustained,
Sedgwick, Republican, for Supreme
Court justice, will carry the state by
from 5000 to 10000.
AT the Republican headquarters the
claim is made of 10000, but the inde-
cisiveness of the figures are admitted.

QUIET IN MISSISSIPPI.
Appointive Incumbents Are Elected
Treasure and Secretary of state.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 5.-The weather
to-day was clear and cold and had
there been a general election, a large
vote would have been polled In Mis-
sissippi, but under the circumstances
with only the offices of state treasurer
and secretary of state to be filled, no
active canvass has been made, and no
interest has been manifested In the
election. Private kilograms from
larger towns indicate that the tenn
porary incumbents, George w. Carlisle
and Joseph w. Powers, who are ap-
pointees of Gov. Longino, have been
elected state treasurer and secretary
of state, respectively. Full returns will
not be received for a day or two, as
numerous precincts are off the rail-
roads and without telephone connec-
ton All the candidates were Demo-
Gratis.
