The com panies with risks in California suffered only in proportion to their business, and it IS hoped all will pay up.

Republican Vote Increases.

HELENA, Nov. 7.-Figures received
here at a late hour this afternoon aud
estim ates compiled from them indicate
a sweeping republican victory in Mon
tana. The republican headquarters
estimate the election of Pray to con.
gress by a majority of from $500 To
1000, and Smith to the supreme court
by a majority of 800 or more. The
republicans also claim a majority OF
50 to 10 on Joint ballot in the legisla-
ture and the certain election of a re-
publican to the United States senate.
Late this afternoon the rep blican
headquarters estimated upon a very
conservative basis that Charles n,
Fray, republican, will be elected to
congress by a majority of from $500
10 1000 votes over Thomas j. Walsh,
democrat. The impossibility of Sc.
curing definite information from Sill
yer Bow county, where the count has
been SLOW, caves the figures open to
change. Bat it is estimated Pray will
make gains if anything over the esti-
mate for that county.
The election Of Henry C. Smith. re-
publican. for associate justice, with a
majority hat will run TO $500, is con.
ceded. Smith carried Lewis and CLARK,
his " county. with about 1,lUO votes
owe Judge John B. McClernan. his
democratic opponent.
The republicans also estimate that
they will have 6S votes out of a total
of 50 on joint ballot in the house and
senate. This means that the republi.
cans have elected a total of SO state
senators and representatives out of a
total Of s.. There are nine holdov YER
republican senators and four demo.
cratic holdovers. The figures so far
received indicate that the next United
