dent which almost resulted in the sink
ing of the British steamer Peluse while
bound from Hongkong to Foochow with a
cargo Of oil. Twenty miles from Lyemun
Pass she struck what was supposed TO be
rocks and returned TO Hongkong for dry
docking with large hole in her hull.
Subsequent developments show that she
did not hit the rocks. but instead struck
~ immense whale while going at full
speed. The Ieviathan was so badly injured
that ne died. His remains were found
floating by natives and towed ashore by
q Chinese junk
On April Is British Customs officer

Canada continues to increase her pur-
chases from the United States, despite
the tariff advantages accorded Great Brit

America increased from $69, 762. 595 in the
nine months of 1900 and s77.s94. 13S in the

The continued growth in our commerce

PLURALITY OF 100000.
Greater Victory for State Ticket Than
Ohio Republicans Expected.

COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 4.-The Republic
ans carried Ohio by next to their highest
plurality on record. Nothing above 10000
had been predicted, but partial returns indi-
cate that it will greatly exceed those fig
ures At the same time the Republicans on
returns UP TO midnight made no gain in
Ohio congressman and are likely to lose
one. The present Ohio delegation in Con-
gress consists of seventeen Republicans
and four Democrats, and the returns show
sixteen Republicans and four Democrats
elected. with the Twelfth district in doubt.
The present apportionment of the Ohio
congressional districts was made by Re-
publican Legislature with fourteen Repub-
lican, four Democratic and three doubtful
districts. Two years ago the Republicans
carried all the doubtful districts by close
pluralities, and this year they increased
their pluralities i'm the Republican and two
of the doubtful districts and reduced the
pluralities of the Democratic districts with
out gaining any congressman and probably
losing the close Twelfth district. At the
last session of the Republican Legislature
only one congressional district-the Twelfth
was changed, and ii has probably been
carried by the Democrats.
AT midnight Chairman Dick said: RE
turns to this hour do not change our esti-
mate of 100000 Republican plurality. We
have carried all districts now represented
in Congress by Republicans with the posi-
BILE exception of the Twelfth, and in it's
place we have probably carried the Thir-
teenth district
During the campaign 1t was said that
any reduction of the Republican plurality
In Ohio would be considered a preliminary
victory for Mayor Johnson over Senator
Hanna in the senatorial contest OF next
year. In 1892 the Republican plurality in
Ohio was Loss for state officers, and one
Democratic presidential elector was then
elected The next year Mckinley had 81 900
for Governor and in 1894 the Republican rec
ord was broken with 1907. Mckinley had
an Ohio plurality for President in 1896 of
81 100 and in 1900 of $685. and last year,
with which the vote of to-day was COM
pared, the Republican plurality was s7,567.
With a single exception the Republican
plurality to-day was the highest in the his
tory of Ohio on a total vote of less than
100000
In this (Franklin) county, which also
constitutes the Twelfth congressional dis
trict. the Republican plurality on the state
ticket is 1000. while Huling. the Repub-
ncan candidate for Congress, is defeated
by 500, due to local opposition to Huling.

Cook County Surprises.

carried Illinois by a plurality of about AS
CO., The Republican leaders claim that they
have elected Busse for state treasurer by
1900. and Manner for clerk of the Supreme
Court by 5000 The Republicans will have
at least fourteen congressman, as against
eleven in the last Congress. The Demo
Gratis are sure of nine congressman, and
may secure two more The contest in the
Sixth congressional district is exceedingly
close. and it may require the official count
to determine the result. Lorimer has a
slight lead. but Durborrow is gaining slow
ly as the late returns come in. and the un-
official vote will be nearly even.
In the Sixth congressional district, where
ex-Ccngressman William Lorimer has been
making a desperate fight to recover the
position he lost in the last congressional
election, the contest is exceedingly close.
Lorimer. with two-thirds of his district
to hear from, had a lead of forty-one votes
and it will be impossible to arrive at the
result in this contest before tomorrow.
The fight in the Third district is also very
close, but Wilson, Republican, has lead
OF 200, with half of his district yet to re-
port, and although the chances arc that
he VIII win out, the result is too close to
predict with confidence.
In the city of Chicago the election was
full of surprises The Republicans tri-
umphed in Democratic strongholds and the
Democrats returned the compliment in full
est measure. The head OF the Republican
ticket, Busse, the candidate for State
treasurer, has carried the city of Chicago
and county Of Cook by approximately 14,0OC
and at the same time Barrett, the Demo
cratic candidate for sheriff. has undoubt-
edly beaten the Republican nominee by
about 1900. Kiolbossa, the Democratic
candidate for county treasurer, has also
carried the city by about 5000 and the Re-
publcans rely upon their usual majority

Republican Candidate for Governor
Re-EIected-AI the Ticket Safe.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 4.-The entire Re-
publican ticket has been elected in Mime
sofa by a plurality of certainly over 10000
and possibly over 10000. Full returns have
not vet been received. but enough has come
I'm TO indicate that Governor Van SAINT has
beer reelected by over $1,000 plurality.
Chairman Buck, of the Democratic commit
tee. is not yet willing to admit publicly
that the Republicans have taken every
more ready to concede the sentire victory
to the Republicans, and they say the Re-
publican plurality is at least over 10000 and
may run close TO 1900. Chairman Buck
announced TO the Associated Press that the
returns were meager, but that they were
not flattering for Mr. Rosing.
ON the balance of the slate ticket very
little has been received but it is believed
all candidates are elected by even greater
majorities than that for Van SAINT. The
LEGISLATURE is Republican in both branches
on congressmen the Republicans claim the
entire delegation of nine.
The earliest returns compared with the
same precincts two years ago indicated de-
cided gains for Van SAINT and the entire
Republican ticket, but they were too
meagre TO use as a basis for predictions as
to the result. However, the later returns,
coming from precincts scattered all over
the State confirmed these first reports and
the figures for Van SAINT. which had been
carly placed at 5000, were raised to 1000
and $1,000, and at midnight when less than
one-fifth of the precincts in the State had
reported the indications were for an even
higher plurality for the Governor. Mr..

DETROIT. Nov. 4.-The Republicans of
Michigan have elected Gov. A. T. Bliss and
their entire state ticket eleven Of the
twelve congressman and an overwhelming
majority of the members of the Legisla-
ture. The Republican majority is esti-
mated at midnight at between 10000 and 49,
600. Governor Bliss ran heavily behind his
ticket-from 10000 to 1900. it is estimated
at midnight. l.. Z. Durand the Demo

correspondingly heavy vote especially in
Detroit, which he carried by from 1900 to
6,000
AT midnight all indications pointed to the
election of Alfred Lucking (Dem.) TO Con-
gress from the First district. John b. Cor

Total returns from one-fifth of the pre-
