INDIANA MAY YET
 REACH 100000 MARK
LEGISLATURE WILL BE OVER WHELMlNGLY REPUBLICAN,, so THAT TWO REPUBLICANS WILL BE CHOSEN.

Indianapolis. Ind. November S.-In- diana has been carried by the republicans by from i5.0OO to 55OO0. The legislature will be republican by nearly fifty, prob ably more All the nine republican con- gressmen are reelected by increased ma jorities, and the republicans claim also the Eleventh and Twelfth districts rep resented by Representatives Miers and Robinson, beth 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. Senator Beveridge will be reelected.
 The republicans have almost if not quite doubled the Mckinley plurality in the state of 26 467 four years ago.
 In scarcely a county of the state have the republicans failed to make large gains Democratic State Chairman O'Brien carry conceded the state to the republicans by over 5000, and sent his congratulations to Republican State Chair man Goodrich. Democratic National Chairman Taggart gave up the battle at 10 o'clock and wired his congratulations to Republican National Chairman Cor teyou
 Vice Pres dent-eleet Charles W. Fair banks received the returns at his resi- dence from private wires which connected lis home with the White House at Wash mgton. 1Ie and President Roosevelt early exchanged congratulations
 National Chairman Taggart declined to express an opinion as to causes. He will leave for New York tomorrow morning and will go at once to democratic na- tional headaIarters.

other questions like the bombardment of undefended coast towns left undecided by the former conference.
 The note. it is understood. takes pains to avoid the appearance to wound the suscepdbilities of Russia, the action of the United States having been prompted by the initiative of the St. Louis peace congress. No response has yet been made but there is strong reason to believe that although Russia cannot show offense at the proposition from the United States at this time inasmuch as the United States was actually at war with Spain when Emperor Nicholas proposed the original conference. Russia will decline to participate so long as the war lasts.
 At the foreign office the opinion has been that a conference after the war would be profitable enabling the powers to agree upon many various problems. but that it is impossible for Russia to participate during the war in a confer ence whose tendencies will be to limit the activity of the belligerents.
 The emperor left St. Petersburg this afternoon for Villa and Poland to bid farewell to the troops. He will be gone a week

Clean Sweep in Pennsylvania.

Philadelphia, November S.-The republi cans have made an almost clean sweep in Pennsylvania, carrying the state for Roosevelt by over 30Ol0OO, and electing 9 of the 26 state senators, and % of the 32 congressman. They also have elected about ITO of the 204 members of the house of representatives. This gives them con trol of both branches of the legislature by a large majority, insuring the election of Governor Pennyp1cker's appointee, Philander c.

Republican Gains in New Jersey.

Trenton, N. J.. November s.--Scattering returns show consistent republican gains and indicate that Roosevelt has carried the state by a large plurality. Senator Stokes for governor is running slightly behind Roosevelt. Returns from six voting precincts in Mercer county in which vot- ing machines were used show average republican gains of about 25 votes to precinct, as compared with the vote of 1900, when Murphy, republican. carried the county for governor by 1871 plurality. These returns indicate that the county will be republican by upwards of 5000.

Maryland Is Very Close.

Baltimore, November S.-Returns from the city and state are not complete but 1t is apparent from the official reports so far received that the vote in Mary land is very close and that the actual result may not be definitely known to- night owing to the slowness of returns from remote districts in eastern shore and southern counties. In Baltimore the in- dications are that there may not be a difference of 100 votes. Incomplete re- turns from the counties heard from show unexpected republican gains, particularly in the western counties.

CONGRESS- WILL
 BE REPUBLICAN Gains Are Made in Many
 Northern States
COWHERO MAY LOSE SEAT
South Rolls Up the Usual Majorities and Complexion of the Dele gations Shows Little
 Change.

Washington, November S.-President Roosevelt is assured of the cooperation of a republican congress. The present republican majority Tn that body is S4, and there need be no surprise if this figure is doubled. In practically all dis tricts the republicans have held their own while in some significant instances the democrats have lost.
 Probably the most marked of these eases are the fourth and fifth districts of California (San Francisco), now rep resented by Representatives Livernash and Wynn, democrats, which reports in- dicate have been gained by the republl- cans. The most surprising of all the re- ports, however, comes from the fifth and fifteenth Missouri districts, both strongly democratic, and the former represented by MT. Cowherd, chairman of the demo- cratic congressional committee. The re- publieans claim to have carried both dis tricts. In the light of these reports, republican majority of fifty In the house Is considered a conservative estimate.
 Usual Majorities in the South.
 Returns from the southern states show that they have returned the usual demo- cratic maiorites on congress as on other candidates. Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi. North Caro..na, South Carolina and Texas all send solid democratic delega tions, while those from Kentucky and Virginia probably each will send only one republican, making no change from the present complexion. There are several solid republican del- egatons already reported from northern states, including Iowa with perhaps one possible exception), Kansas. Minnesota, New Hampshire and the two Dakotas. To these must be added the delegations from Maine, Oregon and Vermont in which states elections were held prior to today. Other states 1ch as Mississippi, Ilinoi, Ohio, Pennsylvania and even ln- diana and New Jersey. from which the democrats hoped for much in the way of gains against send to congress dele gations which are preponderatingly re- publican In New York the republicans will suffer no loss and will gain several congressman, and they will make a gain of at least two in New Jersey, and other gains are reported from Maryland and West Virginia.
 Among the early dispatches was one in dicating the certain return of Speaker Cannon.
 Complexion of the House.
 The result justified the wisdom of the republican policy which was to give espe- cial activity to doubtful districts The returns by states are as follows.

Encks Comet Is Seen.

Washington, November S.-Encks comet was seen at the United States naval ob- servatory Sunday night and again to- night with the twelve-inch equatorial telescope. It's radiance however. is so feeble that as yet the comet is barely visible in the telescope as a patch of light. and several days perhaps, will elapse before accurate observations can be made of it's position, which, however, follows quite clearly the path predicted for the return of the comet.

10000 IN Arkansas.

Little Rock. November s.-The Ga zette's advices from all parts of the state bear out previous estimates of a plural ity of 40OO0 for the Parker and Davis electors. Each of the seven congress siona districts is democratic by major ites ranging from 4000 to 6O00.
 The total will fall short of that cast at the state election in September on ac- count of apathy in some of the counties.

Amendments Defeated in Texas.

Austin, Tex, November s.-Partial re- turns indicate that the three constitu tional amendments voted on in today's election, one seeking to provide for state banks, another for the irrigation of Texas by counties and the third to increase the state pension roll for Confederate veter- ans, were all defeated in todays election. It will require a two-thirds vote for them to be adopted, and 1t is believed they will hardly receive a majority.
