IOWA

Des Moines, Nov. 5.-On the basis of
precinct returns thus far the Republi.
cans have elected their state ticket by
about 75,O0O plurality. The reports
from the congressional districts are
meagre. Enough has been received
from the Third to indicate that Judge
Birdsall, nominated by the Republi-
cans to succeed Speaker Henderso !,
ran substantially with his ticket and
will be elected by 1000 to 5000 votes
over former Governor Boies. At Re
publican headquarters it is asserted
that the Republican plurality in the
state, as whole, is sufficient to carry
all the congressional candidates.

PENNSYLVANIA

Philadelphia, Nov. 5.-For the first
time in the history Of the state moe
than 100000 votes were cast in an
election. Samuel w. Pennypacker
(Rep) was elected governor by an esti-
mated plurality of 175OO0 and the Re
publican ticket was generally success
full in the various counties. The
Democrats elected two and. possibly
three of the 30 congressman. The
Legislature will be more strongly Re-
publican than ever before with the ex-
ception of the 1897 session and it Is GER
tain that Boies Penrose will succeed
himself in the United States senate

DELAWARE

Wilmington, Del, Nov. 5.-The CON-
plste election OF the next Delaware
general assembly is In doubt. Ii Is :p-
parent 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 the body will be
composed Of 10 Union Republicans, 8
regular Republicans, % Democrats and
3 doubtful. Democratic State Chair
man Salisbury says that his returns
show that "a Democratic members have
been elected. The majority on opt

NEW HAMPSHIRE

Concord, N. H., Nov. 5.-The nu nber
Of split tickets will make the returns
from this state very large. The indlca-
tions are that the total vote will be
about $4,000, an unusually large nu n
ber for an off year election. The
figures thus far at hand show that both
the Republicans and the Democrats
have suffered in the shrinkage of the
vote from the figures Of two years
ago, the Republicans suffering the
more. The shrinkage in their vo:e is
nearly % percent, while the Demo-
Gratis lose percent. On this basis,
computing on the vote already returned.
Bachelor (Rep) will be elected gov
ernor by plurality rising 10000. The
heaviest Republican slump occurred in
Manchester, where Governor Jordan's
plurality Of 2O0O two years ago has
been transformed into Democratic
plurality of 1000.
The legislature is Republican in both
branches by large majorities, ensur-
ing Republican successor to Senator
Jacob H. Gallinger, who will probably
succeed himself.

CONNECTICUT

New Haven, Nov. 5.-Connectic It
elected the full Republican ticket for
state officers and ala the five Republi-
can candidates for congress. RetIrns
thus far indicate that the plurality for
Chamberlain Rep) for governor will
be at least 1900, an increase OF 1000
over the plurality of two years ago.
The Republican candidate for con-
gresham at large, G. l.. Lllley, is
elected by approximately the same plu-
rality, while the four congression Il
districts are also Republican by safe
figures. The state legislature will he

the depths of one mine, then looked over
several towns, and wound up thei'

patch of Hickory Ridge, where they

Unusual Visitation of Whales

Highland Light, Mass, Nov. 5.-A
large school of hlacktish appeared in
the bay yesterday and score of boats
are trying to drive them ashore. Not
since November of 1884, when 1900 of
these whales were driven ashore at
Wellfleet, have any Of these fish been
seen in these waters. 1t is believed that
the immense school of squid now in
the bay has attracted these huge fish
again to this vicinity.

EXPLOSION OF FIREWORKS
Results In the Killing of Eleven Per-
sons and the Injury of Fifty

New York, Nov. By series of eN
plosions of pyrotechnic bombs and other
fireworks among the vast multi Ide
gathered in Madison Square to Wit less
the ascension of an airship and the it's
play of the election returns last night,
IL persons were killed outright. Many
Were blown almost to pieces and at
least 80 were injured, many Of them
fatally. 1t is estimated that at least
10000 persons thronged the square Mt
the time of the explosions, and in the
frightful panic which followed the
catastrophe hundreds were thro sn
down and trampled under foot.
Five hundred policemen and all the
ambulances in the city were sum-
moned and the dying and seriously in
jured were removed to various hos
pitfalls. In addition TO these many Of
the wounded were taken away by
friends.
Nine men in charge of the fireworks
display were placed under arrest IN
mediately after the explosion.

Trenton, Nov. 5.-The Democrats

Of this state. The count Is slow, ow
ing to the length OF the ballots, which
In many districts contained 80 or more

The election OF Congressman Capron
is assured. but his majority will be
slightly decreased from that Of two
years ago.
In the First district the congressional
contest is very close between Melville

Because Of the complexity of the ballot,
the returns are delayed. A consider

expected to poll strong vote have not
been heard from.

MICHIGAN

Detroit, Nov. 5.-The Republicans Of
Michigan have elected Governor bliss
and their entire state ticket, IL Of the
II congressman, and an overwhelming
majority Of the members of the legis-
lature. The vote was light throughout
the state and the Republican majority
is estimated at between 10000 and 40,-
600. The Republican majority in both
branches of the legislature assures the
election of General r. A. Alger to fill
the unexpired term of the late United
States Senator James Mcmillan.

Boston, Nov. 5.-Fruit steamer Ad-
miral Sampson was in collision with
and sank the three-masted schooner
Charley Bucki, at point about 10
miles off the Cape Cod llghtship, yester-
day morning. The weather was foggy,
although the sea was smooth. The
snaller vessel was so cut that she sank
within two or three minutes of the

his son, who was first mate, and two
seamen went down with the divided
parts of the vessel and only two men

New York. Nov. Sin spite of
phenomenally large vote In New York
and Kings county for Bird s. Coler.
Democrat, the returns indicate the re-
election of Benjamin B. Odell, Repub-
lican, TO the governorship of New York
state by from 6O00 to 1900. Coler's
plurality In greater New York exceeded
10000. surplus of 5000 above the
claim made by Charles +. Murphy,
leader of Tammany hall, but even that
large vote was not sufficient to over
come the Republican majorities from
up the state. Odelfs vote IN the coun-
try districts was lighter than two
years ago, but Coler's was also lower
than Stanchfeld's in the same year. In
New York city Colers plurality was
approximately Iii, 800.
Oyster Bay, where President Roose-
velt's country home Is situated and
where he voted yesterday, was carried
by Coler, his plurality being 13l. Two
years ago Odell's plurality was $40
Figures from the congressional dis
tricts In New York city and the Long
Island counties apparently showed a
loss of four Republican members of
the national house, the heavy Coler
vote having carried, according to the
first returns, the first 10 districts n the
state for the Democratic candidates.
The election followed campaign
which, In spite of strong efforts by the
political leaders on both sides, was re-
markable for the lack OF interest taken
by the public. Almost the only .,oiats
at issue TO excite comment or discus
sion were the coal plank in the Demo
cratic platform and Senator Hilrs
charge that Governor Odell was a
partner in the grocery firm of Matthews
& Co. of Newburg, and that the firm
had protited by the governors connec-
ton with II, his influence, according to
the Democratic leaders statements,
having secured an enlargement Of

these allegations that the money placed
by him with Matthews & Co. was a
loan and that he did not share further
than that of the profits.
AS is usually the case in New ,ork,
the state was divided into two parts for
purposes of comparison-the greater
New York and the state outside Of the
city. In the former Democratic and
in the latter Republican plurality
were certainties and the question was
whether Coler's vote in the city would
be large enough to overcome the Odell
pluralities in the upstate counties,
New York and Kings counties did all
that had been expected of them by the
Democrats and even more, for the for
mer gave Coler approximately $1,000
more than Odell, and Kings, Mr.. Coler's
home county, went Democratic by
26,5O0. Queens and Richmond were
counted to raise the total to 10000.
