The feature Of Maitre Bonnets pres

was the charge that the countess law-

from outside influence, he insisted she
would have returned to her husband.
He argued that an inquiry was now
imperative to give the count an oppor-
tunity to explode the himsy evidence
according to which he had been pic
tured as cruel brute.
Count Boni's only fault, according to
counsel, was his desire to have his wife
realize her dream of becoming the
queen OF the French aristoeracy, and
in his efforts to this end he had COM

ed 223 congressman and the Democrats
163.
The Democrats gained thirty one con

Republicans gained one each in Ma
ryland, Kentucky and West Virginia,
making the net Democratic gain TWEEN
ty-eight
The Republicans will have working
majority of fifty-four in the new house
of representatives.
One of the greatest changes was in
New Jersey, where the congressional
delegation is changed from nine Re
publicans and one Democrat to six Re-
publicans and four Democrats. In the
Paterson district, where Representa-
tive Allen was defeated for renomina-
ton, Hughes, the Democratic candi-
date, was elected. The Democrats also

Several persons sustained shot wounds
through the reckless firing on the
grounds beyond the Oakdale district,
many of the hunters being posted only

property was considerable, and public
sentiment may result in permanent

CRATIC NOTES.-THE BIS
HOPS BILL HAD MUCH TO DO
WITH IT.

The scenes in and about Democratic
and Republican headquarters and other
places where men congregate and discuss
politics and other matters were last night
IN marked contrast to those Of the night
before. Where all was hustle and pohti-
cal excitement the night before, only
few men who had slept during the day
could be found Those interested in poll
ties and who had stayed out all the night
before and kept up the racket during the
day discussing the meaning of the great
Democratic victory in Hudson OF OF
Hearst's defeat in New York, were
missing. The downtown cafes were
empty. The city had recovered from the
great political surprise and had settled
down to rest.
When it was announced yesterday af-
ternoon that II. Otto Wittpenn had been
elected County Supervisor by 2l00O piu-
rality, Egan for Surrogate by 10000 and
the Assembly ticket by $4,000, the
Democrats were staggered themselves.
They had been congratulating each other
all the morning over their great victory
when at that time they were under the
impression that the figures were about
half those above enumerated. All sorts
of explanations were advanced. The
Record -Faganites were claiming that
they were responsible for the great
Democratic majority, having Joined

who were considered almost invincible

the victory extended throughout the

Hitchoocle's Long Term.
"The secretary of the interior, Mr..
Hitchcock, has informed the president
that he would be unable to stay in the
cabinet after March 4. Mr. Hitchcock
has for some time felt that tie very
exhausting work he has been engaged
in for over eight years in the interior
department was wearing on him so as
to make it impossible for him much
longer to remain.
''The president urged him to accept
the ambassadorship to France, but Mr..
Hitchcock feels that he is entitled to
absolute rest and was obliged to refuse
the offer. The president went carefully
over with Mr.. Hitchcock the choice of
a successor who could be depended up
on to carry on with absolute fidelity
the present policies of the department
and agreed with Mr. Hitchcock that
the best man to carry on the exceed
ingly onerous, difficult and responsible
work of the department was James r.
Garfield, at present commissioner of

ingly been notified that he will be ap-
pointed on March 4, when MI. Hitch

of the Socialists in the coming election
OF members to parliamess were dealt a
sweeping blow by the Interpretation
given by the senate te. the new election
law, which at one stroke disfranchises
thousands of the poorer classes. City
employees, the operating personnel of

engineers, the most skilled and highest
paid labor in Russia, are affected by
the Interpretation. Outside of factory
workmen the ranks of the Socialist

RESULTS IN PENNSYLVANIA.
stuart's Lead 52,533 = Miners Elect
Two Concressroen.


Philadelphia, Nov. S.-Complete re-
turns from sixty-one of the sixty seven
counties in Pennsylvania and careful
estimates from the other six counties
give Edwin S. Stuart, the Republican
candidate for governor, and his ticket
8 plurality of 52,533 over Lewis En-.
cry, Jr., the fusion candidate. The
counties which have not yet reported
their complete vote and in which esti-
mates are made on governor are AL
1egheny, Bradford, Columbia, Craw-
ford, Mexican and Wayne. The vote
in several of the counties was very
close, notably in Potter, where Emery
had majority of only votes, and in
Wyoming, which Stuart carried by SO.
The unexpected result Of the election
in Philadelphia was keenly felt by the
Reform party The principal fight in
the city was made for the office Of dis
trict attorney, and it was one Of the
bitterest in the political history of the
county.
A notable feature of the campaign
was the success of the United Mine
Workers of America, which organiza-
tion entered the political field for the
first time in this state The latest fig
ures show that the miners will be rep
resented in the next congress by two
of the officers of the organization and
in the legislature by about half doz-
en- members Of the union, all Of whom
were candidates on the Democratic
ticket. The miners representative in
congress will be William B. Wilson,
