RETURNS COMING IN SLOW.
Later Figures Do Not Change First
Estimates in Maryland.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
l. BALTIMORE, Md, November 4.-Never
in the history of this or Of any other state
have returns been as late as those of the
election held in Maryland yesterday.
The sun rose this morning on over 1000
very sleepy election judges and clerks who
had not completed the task of counting the
ballots. and the indications are that the
count in this city will not be completed
until late this afternoon. The figures as
far as complete indicate the following re-
suits.
That Edwin Warfield. democrat, has been
elected governor by over 1900 majority.
That w. S. Bryan, jr., democrat, has been
elected attorney general. That Dr. Cor
ed controller. That the democrats viii con-
troll both branches of the legislature, elect
ing a democrat to succeed Mr.. Louis E. NC
Comas in the United States Senate. Mr..
successor as state treasurer.
The democrats will have a sufficient ma
jority in both houses OF the general as
sembly to add amendments to the election
law with a view to complication of the
ballot. There is considerable doubt whether
they will have a majority OF tWo-th1rds OF
the members Of the senate to enable them
to pass legislation looking to the submis-
sion of an amendment of the state constt-
tuition two years hence for the disfran-
chisement of the illiterate vote-especially.
the colored vote
The following is the indicated member
ship of the senate and house of delegates:
neutrality-suspicious.. Is; democrats, II.
Total. g.
House of delegate. republicans. 36: demo-
Gratis 65; total, 95. Total democratic mem
bership on Joint ballot, 81; democratic ma
iority on Joint ballot, SO.
The returns show that throughout the
state thousands of ballots were rejected,
the average being placed at 10 per cent.
The republican state candidates held their
own in the western Maryland counties,
while the democrats made gains on the
eastern shore, carrying every county seat
east of the bay for the democratic state
candidates
Ir. Warfields majority in Baltimore will
|, probably not be quite as large as first ex-
pected.
The latest figures this afternoon which
do not include the belated precincts, show
that he has an actual majority of but !. 446.
whereas it was expected early this morning
that his majority would probably be as
much as G,5OO.
This falling off was due to heavy gains by
Mr.. Williams In some of the uptown pre-
cincts, which were late coming in.
Here are the figures on the governorshtp.
corrected up to o'clock this afternoon.
Warfeld, 44.O70 Williams, 3S,624. War
fields majority, SAG.
The figures on the controllership, not con-
sidering the missing precincts, are as fol-
lows:

sons majority, 5.061

THE PORTLAND CANAL.
Ex-senator Turner Says the Award
Was Not Compromise.

Was Not Compromise.
Former United States Senator George w.
Turner of Washington, who was member
of the Alaskan boundary commission, which
body recently completed its labors. arrived
in the city today to pay his respects to
President Roosevelt before returning to his
home in the northwest. Mr.. Turner was
looking in perfect health and vigor when
seen by an Evening Star reporter at the
New Willard this afternoon. When asked
II he had anything to say regarding the re-
suit Of the commissions labors. he replied:
''It was just and honorable verdict. one
that accorded with the rights Of both coun-
tries AS to the Portland canal. that Is
matter commented upon a great deal, and,
yet not understood. 1 prefer not to talk
much upon the subject. because Of my posi-
ton.
However, you may quote me thus far:
The result attained on the Portland canal,
particularly that portion which divides the
four islands between the two countries, has
been treated by the Canadian press as IL it
were a compromise.
THAT view is not correct. The result was
attained by strictly judicial processes.
When better understood it will be seen to
be well founded in law"
