MINNESOTA REPUBLICAN
Gives Roosevelt 1900 Plurality, But

Elects Democratic Governor.
st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. president
Roosevelt received a record-breaking
plurality in Minnesota of $4,000. Par
ker's vote was much smaller than that
received by Bryan four years ago, and
Roosevelt was especially strong in
counties which of old were Populist
strongholdS.
Despite the tremendous plurality for
Roosevelt the Democrats apparently
have elected their candidate for gov
ernor, John A. Johnson. At Demo-
cratic headquarters Johnson's election
was claimed by plurality of from
10000 to $4,000. Chairman James A..
Martin, of the executive committee OF
the Republican state central commit
tee, claimed the election OF Robert c..
Dunn, the Republican candidate, but
admitted that the result would be
close. The Republicans elected the bal
ance Of their state ticket. The Repub-
licans will have a majority on Joint
ballot in the legislature, ensuring the
election Of Republican successor to
United States Senator Moses Z. Clapp.

INJURED BY A TORPEDO.
The following is from the TDIRs- DI
sPATCH of Wednesday, Nov. 9th.

The following is from the TDIKs- d.
SPATCH of Wednesday, Nov. 9th.
Great excitement was created among
the crowds on Broad street near Fourth
at $50 p. NJ. yesterday by the explosion
of railway torpedo on the extreme
south track of the street railway line
and the slight injury of "a lady who was
il the act of boarding the car.
The street was thronged with people,
and Immediately after the explosion an
smoke had cleared away, a lady was
seen TO hurry from the car to the side
walk at the southeast corner of Fourth
A large crowd quickly gathered and fol.
lowed the lady, who was holding n
bleeding hand with the other hand. She
plucklly pushed through the crowd,
and, followed by a great curious lam.
she made Der way to I. A. Miller's
| drug store, between Fifth and Sixth
streets md there went in.
Inquiry developed the fact that she
was about to board the car when the ex-
plosion occurred. She said that the
! smoke and shock seemed to come from
under the car wheel, and expressed the
opinion that torpedo had been explod-
ed, and that fragment of this had
struck her hand. The glove was cut
and slight wound made on the hand
The wound was treated in the drug
store. The injured lady did not make
her name known, and no one in the
crowd seemed to know it. She exhibit
ed splendid nerve, and was apparently
less alarmed and excited than many
men would have been.
Captain Epps at the old second police
station, now headquarters. was notified
and went TO Mlller's drug store, but the
lady had been treated and gone, and hel
name was not made known.
1t is believed by the police that the
torpedo was placed there by a small
boy as prank. No damage would have
resulted had it net been placed directly
at the stop where passengers ahght d
board cars.

Indiana,s Bio Plurality.

Indianapolis, Nov. 9.-Indiana has
been carried by the Republicans by
from $4,000 to $1,000. The legislature
will be Republican by about so. All
the nine Republican congressman are
reelected by increased majorites,
and the Republicans claim also the
second and 18th districts, now repre-
scented by Representatives Miers and
Robinson, both Democrats. They are
in doubt. The Legislature, which will
meet in January, will elect two United
States senators, one to succeed Vice
President-Elect Charles w. Fairbanks

State Tickets.
Wilmington, Del, Nov. 9.-Returns

carried Delaware by about $500 ma
jority. and that the Republicans have
elected their entire state ticket by ma
oddities but little smaller.
Two-thirds OF the districts in New
Castle county, where the largest Dem

Republican majority OF 500. Kent
county's Republican majority will be
about 500, while the Republican ma
jority in Sussex county promises to bC
at least $500.
