NEW YORK. Feb. 6.-Yesterday's later
dealings showed some shifting of inter
est into other quarters than those in
which ii has recently been chiefly ex-
pressed, and in today's trading there
were additional evidences to the same
effect One of the chief features of the
market was the particular strength and
animation appearing in the higher-priced
dividend paying railway stocks.
In consequence, Chicago and North
western, St. Paul. and Illinois Central
were all notably strong. Nothing that
was definite and new could be cited in
connection with the tendencies displayed
in this quarter.
There was less activity today among
the so-called railway specialties, al
though further advances were noted in
Minneapolis, st. Paul, and sault Ste.
Marie. Iowa Central, and Chicago, In
dianapolis and Louisville.
Reaction in Metropolitan.
The local traction stocks were also COM
paratively dull, although sharp advance
took place in Third Avenue. Metropoli

~
definite announcement of the details Of
the new financial plans arranging for the
company. 1t seems probable that Wall
Street imagination has run somewhat riot
in establishing the scope of the operations
in view.
Outside of the railway list the heaviest
dealings were in Sugar Refining, the Unit
ed States Steel stocks and Amalgamated
Copper. The intelligence received from
Washington respecting the probabilities
of the enactment of a measure reducing
the duties on Cuban products was dis
tiEctly favorable. and accounted for the
pronounced strength of Sugar.
Copper Fluctuations Limited.
The fluctuations in Amalgamated Cop
per were comparatively limited, and spec
ulators in the stock received no definite
lead either from the course of the metal
in London or from the price for Copper
securities there.
Somewhat Unexpectedly the Bank of
England made another reduction in its
minimum discount figures today. the sec
~bnd within a fortnight. The banks week.
ly statement was another strong showing
and accounted for the Willingness of its
managers to compete more actively in the
open money market.
London Market Strong.
The London securities market was gen.
orally strong today. and for the first time
in several weeks the foreign arbitrase
houses were active buyers in the local
market, their purchases being upward Of
25 600 shares of stocks. There were no
material changes in money or foreign ex-
change, both markets retaining the son,e-

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.
Mr. Gilbert Gratihed at the Result of
the Election

Lieutenant Governor Gilbert was at the
Republican state committee rooms last
night hearing with qualification the Re-
publican returns sent in from over the
State. Mr.. Gilbert, in speaking of the re-
suit. said: The result in Indiana is another
proof of the intelligent comprehension of
our people regarding public questions. In
diana can no longer be swayed by appeals
to passion prejudice. Attacks, either
upon our soldiery or our Industrial condi-
tions. will not be tolerated by our citizens
The widespread prosperity of to-day is ap-
preciated Our senators and the Repub-
Iican delegation in Congress have served In
full measure the people whom they repre-
sented; and the people, just as they are,
have indorsed them with an overwhelming
vote. Nor should the administration of the
affairs of our State by Governor Durbin
be overlooked. The result is splendid trib-
ute TO his record All those who aspire to
leadership should learn that in Indiana
honest effort and fidelity to the interests
of the people will be rewarded while dema-
gosic appeal will fall upon deaf ears 1t is
a day for mutual congratulation. The
wheels of prosperity will continue to re-
volve, and Indiana has shown her fitness
for the high place she occupies in the van
guard of progress.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 4-Although the
returns from the doubtful congressional
districts were slow in arriving, the indica-
tions at midnight were that the Repub-
licans would control the next House of Rep
resentatives by a narrow margin. In the
present House. with a membership of 357,
the Republicans have forty-one majority.
Under the new apportionment the fifty
eighth House will consist of $50 members.

He Spent Some Time at State Head

Governor Durbin was one of the pleased
auditors Of the election returns heard in
the Republican state committee rooms last
night. The Governor left for home after

lican by safe plurality and there was a
possibility OF the addition of one Repub-

tion. When especially pleasing bulletins
from doubtful districts and congratulatory
kilograms from district organizations were
read Governor Durbin joined in the hand
clapping which invariably followed. He ex-
pressed his pleasure at the result and con-
graduated Chairman Goodrich on the sue

MIR. FAIRBANKS PLEASED.
what He Has TO Say About Result of
Election.

Senator Fairbanks. who spent several
hours at Republican State headquarters
last night said
The result of the election is most graft
flying. 1t shows that the people are salts
fed with Republican policies and Repub-
lican administration. and that they do not
propose 10 jeopardize what they have.
They have by no means been Indifferent as
TO their best interests. They have given to
the discussion of the issues presented the
uthnost consideration and have decided to
further intrust the Republican party with
the administration of their great business
affairs.
The campaign has been conducted by
Chairman Goodrich and his associates in
a most admirable manner. 1t has been
clean and aggressive from the beginning.
No mistakes have been made. We have
had nothing to apologize for. We were
fortunate in having a splendid record In
both national and State affairs. Our DEM
Ocratic friends lacked issues and leader
ship. They had no record upon which they
could appeal with confidence, while the Re-
publican party has had an ample record
OF good deeds done to which it could con-
fidently invite the attention of the people.
The result is reassuring TO manufac-
tuFers. merchants, workingmen, farmers
ard others who are vitally interested in
the maintenance OF sound and stable con-
ditions. and who would have been seriously
jeopardizcd by Democratic success and the
consequent radical reversal of existing
policies There Il nothing so disQuieting

we have elected nine members of Con-

The County Chairman Talks Of the

At o'clock this morning Chairman FL

result of terrific days work and an active
and effective campaign. left committee
headquarters and went to his home. At
that hour the clerks at headquarters were
still receiving returns from precincts Be-
fore leaving for home Chairman Elliott
gave out the following statement:
Mr.. overstreet will be reelected by
1900 and the remainder Of the county ticket
by 1900 plurality, with the exception OF
Mr.. Ensley. 1t looks now as IL he would
be about 1000 behind the ticket. / should
estimate Mr.. Ensley's plurality at about
1,5Oo."
At o'clock returns from 100 precincts
had been received at county headquarters
1t was stated that these returns showed
a loss OF a little over five to the precinct,
as compared with the thirty-dax poll taken
by the committee. which showed majority
of about 1900 1t was said at o'clock
that the heavy Republican precincts on
the North Side had not been heard from
and it was believed that Ensley's plurality
would increase as reports from these pre-
cincts came in. However. no one was es-
timatipg his plurality at more than 1.50o.
The returns showed the. in the country
precincts Mr.. Ensley was holding his own.

SENATOR BEvERIDGE HAPPY.
His Prediction Realized and He Tells
How Victory Was Won.


Senator Albert ]. Beveridge said that he
was not surprised at the size of the Repub-
iican majority in Indiana. Some time ago
In an interview he predicted that the Re-
publicans would carry the State by about
the majority that was announced last night,
and in a public speech at Winchester he
made similar prediction. Senator Bev-
eridge last night said:
Il have been certain Of just this result
from the very first. Not only have the
meetings been as large as in a presidential
campaign. and the interest intense, but the
opposition failed TO meet any issue that
they themselves had raised. They conducted
what is called gumshoe campaign and the
day for such a campaign passed away
many years ago. 1t is as much out of date
as the scythe compared with the modern
self-binder.
On the contrary. we met every issue
frankly and without any evasion, arguing
every question out from the ground up.
We met the attack on organized industry.
commonly known as the, trust question,
with the same courage and sincere mind
that we met the attack on expansion. Since
1898 the Republicans of Indiana have brave
ly discussed before the people every one
Of the great and new questions which have
arisen the very instant they appeared. and
We have kept up the fight until those is
sues were settled.
This great victory is an Endorsement of
the policies of the administrations of Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt. Another thing is
worthy of note, and that Is that we are
steadily increasing our majorities in In
diana every year. AS long as we continue
our policy of frankness. honesty and cour-
age in dealing with new issues Indiana
will be as safely Republican as Massachu-
setts. The moment we any other party
becomes shifty and evasive that party
loses. and deserves TO lose.
TOO much credit cannot be given to the
Republican organization. state. county and
precinct, for the victory"
