The Elections.

New York. Nov. g. The general
impression about democratic headquar-
tiers this morning was that there would
be no contest over the election Of Gov
ernor Odell, although no statement OF
the purposes Of the democrats could be
secured from an official source. The
democratic leaders will investigate the
circumstances connected with upstate
voting, however. The claim is made to-
day that Cunneen, the democratic can
didate for Attorney General, is elected
by good plurality.
New York, Nov. 6.-Revised county
returns this morning give the State to
Governor Odell by ii 900 plurality.
Manchester, N. H., Nov. 6. = Not

as in the same district two years ago,
they were defeated by 300. There has
also been a net gain of one alderman and
nine representatives.

TIE ADMINISTRATION has determined
TO have no foolishness with the political
side of its colonial possessions, as will be
seen by the following dispatch from San
Juan, p. R.:
sThere were no serious disorders any
where in Porto Rico on Tuesday. The
election, which resulted in sweeping re-
publican victory, passed off quietly. This
was largely due to the fact that Governor
Hunt sent twenty-five special representa-
tiyes, covering the whole island, with
plenary powers to adjustdifierences sum-
marily."
The federals allege frauds and propose
to send committee to the United States
TO protest TO the President. They have
also issued proclamation complaining
bitterly of the Partially of the govern
ment in favoring the republicans in the
election and declare that a manifesto will
be issued to the people of the United
States, accompanied by particulars and
proofs of the outrages, but their appeals
and protests will fall upon deaf ears
when they reach Washington. All OF
this sounds familiar to the people of the
South who remember "carpetbag rule"
in this section after the war between the
States.

Surprising DeveIopments.

Boston, Nov. 6.-Chief Inspector
Watts has recovered the gold watch of
Clara Morton, the Mclean hospital
domestic who was murdered Saturday
evening, and the chief and number of
inspectors and officers secured every part
of Boston and Cambridge last night,
searching for the man who pawned the
watch. This man is negro, about Il
years old, and Chief Watts believes that
he murdered Miss Morton, and that
Alan G.. Mason, who lis now held in
Middlesex Jail, witboutbail, is innocent.
The developments of late yesterday
afternoon and last night are the most
surprising of any yet thus far in the
case. Chief Watts learned from the
pawnbroker that the watch was pawned
at his shop Tuesday afternoon.

THE NINTH DISTRICT.

Late returns from the Ninth district
confirm Yesterdays reports of the cleo
ton of Col. II. Campbell Slemp, repub-
lican, over Judge w. F. Rhea, and the
majority will probably reach 500. The
Ninth comprises large area of noun
famous country, and the complete re-
turns are always slow in reaching a
common center. No analysis of the
vote or reason for the defeat of Rhea,
who has won so many times in the face
of defeat, is made in Richmond.
Rhea's vote was Disappointment
small, especially in Bristol and in Wash
ington county, where he expected to
do well. He was given AIS majority
in Bristol, 1l3 in Washington, Craig,
1863; Giles, 1875, and Russell, $50. lie
is also credited with $50 majority in
Dickinson, though there seems some I'M
certainty about this. This gives him a
majority of 1919.
Col. Slemp carried Tazewell by 42O,
Wise by 49S, Smythe by 222, Pulaski
Dy Ito, Ice ny ooO, anu w INV ~ w.
One report gives him 1876 over Rhea in
Scott, while another, believed to be cor
rect. gives him only 50. This would
make his majorities 1915, or 800 more
than Rhea's. kilograms from Bristol,
Wytheville, and Abingdon all give
Slemp 700 or more majority, but none of
these embraces the Dickinson estimate
of 300 for Rhea.
The defeat of Judge Rhea is attributed
to apathy and overconfdence on the
part of the democratic leaders of the
Ninth. They counted on far better re-
suits than were obtained from the new
registration. On the other hand the
worked quietly and got their
full strength registered. They also had
ample funds. The vote was the smallest
polled in Virginia since the days of re-
and shows that not over
60 per cent. of the whole registered
voters under the new Constitution exer-
cised the right of suffrage.
At a rough estimate the democratic
majority was A, 900. In the absence of
any figures for comparison this result is
lacking in significance, and, further than
the fact that the republicans have gained
l out of 10 congressman, the figures car
nv little interest.

THE ELECTIONS.

Yesterdays returns from close con-
gressional districts altered slightly, butnot
materially, the republican majority for
the next House. 1t will be about 90
votes. Chairman Griggs, of the demo-
cratic congressional committee. last
night conceded the election of republic
can House. His figures, as he closed
headquarters, were 200 republicans and
1856 democrats, majority of II. Their
majority in the present House is 40.
The contest for the Speakership of the
next House is expected to be an ex-
citing one. Representatives Babcock,
Cannon and Dalzell are the leading as
pirants. =.
The Senate, after March 3, 1908, will
consist of 55 republicans, 80 democrats
and independents, who will vote with
the democrats. The republican majority
will be %.
A decided surprise was the election of
a democratic governor in Rhode Island
by 1000 plurality.
The plurality of 0dell in New York
State is now estimated at 1857. As
stated yesterday Bird S. Coler and other
democrats charge that there has been
fraud up the State.
Outside of the South the only States
carried by the democrats were Rhode
Island, Delaware and Nevada.
The republicans carry Baltimore city
by 800 votes, and Maryland by S,2Ol,
elcctiEg Congressman from four out OF
the six districts.
Returns show that the next Delaware
legislature will have a republican ma
iority of five on joint ballot. Counting
the hold-over members, the Senate
stands 7 democrats and 10 republicans.
The House stands l6 democrats and Is
republicans, with one district in Kent
county undecided by reason of tie vote
between the democratic and union re-
publican candidates. On joint ballot
there will be % democrats and 2S re-
publicans, with this one district I'M
decided. OF the republican members it
is believed that at least seven, and prob
ably eight, will refuse to vote for j.
Edward Addicks for United States Sen
ator under any circumstances. This
promises to make a deadlock over the
election of Senators.
Senator James X. Jones, of Arkansas,
chairman of the democratic national
committee, said in interview in Wash
ington last night think the re-
suit of yesterdays elections presages
democratic victory for 1904. While it
could not be called democratic victory,
it was certainly a republican defeat. 1t
is an indication of what is to occur two
years hence"

The Traus-Canada Railway.

Quebec, Canada, Nov. 6. = Upper
Canada is to be tapped by new railroad
that will span the North Americon con-
tinent and discharge its traffic at the
Atlantic and Pacific seaboards. The
new line is called the Trans-Canada
Railway and will be extended from Que
bee to Port Simpson. The line will be 24S
miles shorter than from Quebec to Van
couver by the Canadian Pacific. From
Quebec to Yokohama, via Port
Simpson the distance will be about
722 miles shorter than from
Quebec to Yokohama via Vancouver.
Ii is said that England, using the new
line, could put troops into Manchuria,
for instance, four days sooner than
Russia, by using the Trans-Siberlan
road, could have troops from Mos

asserted that England could send troops TO
China or India by the new line about
three weeks sooner than by the Suez canal.

MEMBERS of the militia organizations
called out by the governor of Louisiana
10 preserve order during the recent
strike of the street car employees in New
Orleans, found, upon their return home,
that the labor unions to which they be-
longed had dropped them from their
rosters. The first duty of soldier is to
obey orders. In this case the members
of the militia served the State. Nothing
but Observation-Disclosures call it by no
worse name-could have inspired the
unions to infict punishment upon men
for doing their duty. There should be
nothing incompatible with members OF
labor organizations and the militia in the
States in which they are located. The
duty of both is to obey the laws and
preserve order and each should vie with
the other to this end. AS has been well
said labor unions would better serve
their interests were they to act with
greater deliberation and less upon the
impulse of the moment, or in fit OF re-
sentiment, than they do at times.

KILLED THEIR FATHE2 "A special
from Columbus, Neb., tells of the kill
ing last Friday of farmer named Ger
hard Borchers, living several miles
northeast of Humphreys, by Herman, a
l4-year-old son, who used shotgun,
which he had purchased for that purpose.
With the help of two brothers, August
aged 10, and John, aged s years, Her
man dragged the body of his father to a
strawstack and set fire to it. This is the
story secured by Sheriff Byrnes from the
three children, who are in custody.
Each of the children practically told the
same story, the only variance being in
the degree of culpability in the killing
accorded to each. Herman, who is said
to have fired the gun that killed his
father, duplicates his younger brothers
equally with himself while they put the
blame on him. The only motive for the
crime given is that the father, with
whom the children had lived since the
mothers death, had not treated them
kindly. NeigL5ors of the Borchers say
they know of no mistreatement on the
part of the former.
