DELAWARE In DOUBT.
Another Deadlock i'm the Senatorial
Struxc2e Is Probable.

WILMINGTON, Del, Nov. 5.-The COM
plexion of the next Delaware general as
sembly is in doubt. At this hour dis a. No.
ii is apparent that a deadlock on the two
United States senatorial vacancies will be
the result, as was the case two years ago.
The regular Republican State committee
claims that body will be composed of 10
Union Republicans, regular Republicans,
% Democrats and 3 doubtful. Democratic
State Chairman Willard Salisbury stated
at a. m. that his returns thus far received
showed that twentyfour Democratic men,
bers have been elected. The majority on
elect United States senators is twenty
seven.
Joseph l. Cahill. the Union Republican
chairman of Sussex county, claims at mid
night that the Addicks Republicans have
elected seven representatives and two SEN
ators in that county
AT 2:30 a. m. advices from throughout the
State demonstrated that deadlock will
occur in the Legislature the double
senatorial vacancy. The membership of
the General Assembly will be: Newcastle
Democrats; House, seven Republicans
eight Democrats. Kent county Senate
three Union Republicans, two Democrats;
House, five Democrats, four Union Repub-
leans, one tie. Sussex county. Senate, three
Union Republicans, two Democrats. House.
seven Union Republicans, three Democrats.
ocrats; House, eighteen Republicans, six
teen Democrats. one tie.
The regular Republicans claim eight of
their number who will vote against Ad-
dicks. The perceptible gains of the Demo-
Gratis in Newcastle county were offset by
Union Republican gains in Kent and Sussex
counties Unless the Democrats and regular
Republicans coalesce and elect one from
each side to the United States Senate it is
clearly apparent that the deadlock will
remain unbroken.
IT is stated that the election of James T.
Shallcross Dem.) in the Thirteenth repre-
sentative district OF Newcastle county will
be contested by O. V. Aspro, his Repub-
Iican opponent. Shallcross had but four
majority.

ticket for State officers and all the five Re-
publican candidates for Congress. Returns

Republican Gains.

ST. LOUIS, Nov AT IL o'clock partial
returns from the State indicate a falling
off in the total vote as compared with
1900 of 10 to % per cent Especially is this
so in the central portion. In several dis
tricts the fight for Congress is very close
and definite results will probably not be
known for twenty-four hours. At Repub-
lican state headquarters ii is claimed there
is a slight Republican gain in Missouri
counties.
At Democratic headquarters il is claimed
the Democratic ticket will come to St
Louis with 1900 10 $4,000 majority Indi-
cations point to a sweeping Democratic
victory in st. Louis. with a plurality of
1900, the election of two Democratic con-
gressmen out of three and the full Demo-
cratic city ticket. Returns from twenty
four precincts out of 333 up to IL o'clock
