Revision OF Figures Confirms Results Shown by
First Count in Every State-=-Gov. Guilds
Plurality Now Estimated at 1862.
Republicans Assured Of Gratifying Majority in Con-
gress and Each Fresh Report Shows the Vic
tory for g. 0. P. to be More Decisive

That the Republican party will have
complete control of the Goth Congress
is indicated by election returns thus
far received.
The Democratic party has held the
solid South. but failed in its efforts
TO invade to any extent the districts
now held by the Republicans in any
other section Of the country.
James +. Wadsworth. a notable Re
publican figure in Congress, was de-
feated in New York, and the latest re-
turns indicate that J. w. Babcock, who
has for several campaigns previous to
the last conducted the Republican con-
gressional fight, has been defeated in
Wisconsin.
OF the 273 Congressional districts
heard from, the Democrats have made
a net gain Of 10. These returns show
the Republicans have elected 1875 Con-
gressmen. the Democrats u.s. of which
So are from the Southern states. No
returns have been received from 113
districts. Indications are that the
gains of the Democrats will not exceed
the same ratio regarding the remain
ing districts.
At Democratic headquarters in
Washington, it was stated that the
Democratic congressional gains in the
West had fulfilled their predictions;
that gain of IS to 20 districts had
been made III the East.

NEW YORK,

New York. Nov 1.-Incomplete re-
turns from tWo-uhirdS OF the counties
in the state of New York make it i'm
possible up to late hour tonight to
give definite figures on the state tick
ct other than for governor. Charles
f. Hughes. Republican candidate for
governor. has majority of $1,000 APP
proximateiy but the remainder of the
candidates are in doubt
For Lieut.. Governor Lewis Steuy-
vesant. Democratic Independence
League candidate. has a lead in The
city of Greater New York Of 134.94l.
Upstate NJ. Linn Bruce. Republican
candidate for lieutenant governor is
running slightly ahead of Mr.. Hughes
vote. As Mr.. Hughes came down to
Greater New York with lead of APP
proYimately 10000 it will readily be
seen that the vote for second place on
the ticket will be close and only the
complete official count will determine
the successful candidate.
Returns are coming in very slow
from upstate counties. At II o'clock
20 out of the 81 in the state had COM
pleted the count and turned in the fig
ures. From these it was impossible I"
predict the result of the entire count
as to the subordinate places on the two
tickets. At Republican state head
quarters no definite statement or claim
could be had. 1t was stated that as
there was still about 20 counties to be
heard from officially nothing would be
given out until these have reported
At the headquarters of the Indepen-
dence League tonight the following state
ment was issued:
Reports from upstate indicate not
only that Hearst cut down the Republican
vote severely. but that the independence
League vote for Mr.. Hearst was not
counted in many counties. These votes
will have to be added to In the Increased
result of Mr.. Hearsts vote in order to
give the correct Hearst figures In the

suit of injuries received sometime last
night or early this evening near Simp-
sons crossing at Etna on the Maine
Central. 1t is the opinion Of Coroner
Barrows that death ensued from injur-
les caused by railroad train.
Coroner BarrOws was called this
forenoon 10 go to Etna and take charge
of the remains of a man who had died
at the camp Of the construction crew
in charge of Foreman Walter Leonard.
Accompanied by DR.. l.. II. White he
went there and found the remains of
a man apparently 40 years of age
One George Welsh, a member of the
crew. seemed to know more about the
affair than anyone else. He told Cor
oncr Rarrows that last Saturday he and
Mccall, the dead man. had received
their pay and went to Bangor for the
purpose of buying a supply of winter
clothes. He also said that they also
drank more or less whiskey. Welsh is
said to have shown the effect of his
debauch today.
The story is to the effect that he LEFT
Mccall in Bangor yesterday noon and
that he (WelSh) left on one OF the af-
ternOon Grains and went to Watervillc
returning to Etna on train 10 in the
late afternoon. lie says that he met
Mccall on the station platform at Etna
and that he was intoxicated. They
started up the track toward the labor
erS' camp and when about half way up
Mccall refused to so any further
Welsh says he left him and went to
camp. Later in the evening as NJ
Call had not returned, he took a Ian
tern and started out for the point
where he had left him. Nothing could
be found of him according to the state
ment of Welsh, and he returned to
cal mp.
This morning Walter Leonard, the
foreman. and Welsh started out on q
handcar to find Mccall if possible
They found him laying near the track
at q point not far from Simpsons cross
ing. the scene Of the Etna wreck of
several years ago. He was unconscious
and they took him on the handcar to
the camp, where an effort was made
to revive him. He soon died. however,
and the officials were notified.

At midnight tonight there was still
doubt as to who is elected lieutenant gov

Ten yards to be gained in three

else toward opening the game.

The art of irrigation is, no doubt, a
source of grave speculation to the un-
initiated; how thousands of acres of
growing crops can be successfully wa
tered by artificial means must puzzle
a good deal those whose experiments
in similar direction do not reach be-
yOnd the watering of potted house
from a watering pot, or the irrigation
of a front yard by means of a lawn
sprinkler. There are 100000 acres of
land in Colorado susceptible Of cultlva-
ton. Forty per cent of this area is now
under actual cultivation. To cover this
immense area with water from the ir-
rigating bitches two or three times over
during a single season is something
Of a task. Colorado land, to be well
irrigated, should have as much water
put upon it during the successive irri-
cations as would cover It one foot deep
were it put upon the land all at once.
In most cases the land and water
are conveyed in the same deed or by
the same person, in which case the wa
ter would have been previously attach
ed to the land and the land would be
under cultivation. In few canals OF
the West water is rented to the land
owner, but the instances of this sort
are so few that it is hardly worth
while to refer to them. Upon the pur-
chase Of a right the purchaser usually
becomes an owner in the canal. A
contract usually provides that certain
amount should be charged each water
right owner in proportion to the water
he buys, for the maintenance of the
property and the canal company guar
antees that this assessment will not
be over a certain amount during it's
management. This charge for main
tenance takes the water from the riv-
er and delivers to the headgate of the
water-rlght owners lateral, pays the
salary Of ditch-riders and pays for
breaks, repairs and general mainte-
nance. The water-right owner then
takes charge of the water and con-
veys it through his lateral, or the lat
eral in which he has an interest, to
his land.-Denver Field and Farm.
