The New York Election.

New York, Nov. g. Until the sever
al boards OF county csnvsssers meet
next Tuesday 10 report the vote
the question whether the repue-
lican or democratic ticket from the
Lieutenant Governor down is elected
will probably be 10 doubt. The latest
unofficial returns indicate that the dem.
ocratic ticket with the exception Of Mr..
Hearst is elected The returns from
many interior counties are guess work
and in this city there are wide differ
ences between the tabulations of the
police snd the press associations. The
police returns show the democratic plu-
rslites larger than those found by the
news associations. If the police re-
turns are correct, Lewis Stuyvestant
Chsuler and the rest of The democratic
ticket have been elected.

Today's Telegraphic News
The C,stellane Divorce Case.

Paris, Nov. S.--Countess Anna de
Caste lane has WOO her frat contention
in her snit for divorce against her
"noble" husband, who beat her, aud
there will be no open trial The judges
will decide the question OF the divorce
on the documentary evidence submitted.
This determination wss announced today
with a statement that verdict will be
rendered next Thursday.
This means the names of the women
who are Bonis companioDsin his liaisons
will not be made public. Ii also means
that Boni will have chance for his life
which he would not have had if his de-
mand for an open hearing of the charges
made against him had been sustained.
An army Of creditors tbroDgtd the
court house to offer proof OF their
claims against the prodigal count whose
personal debts are estimated TO reach
$500, OOO.
NJ. Bonnet declared that Boni has
spent hundred thousand francs be in-
herited from Madame Galieri, and $780,
600 francs which be had anticipated re-
ceiviug from his father, the Marquis de
Castellane, on the Trianon, the hand
some Paris mansion of the Castellanes.
In outlining Boni's demands NJ. Bon
net stated that the count is willing for
the children to remain with their mother
except that they are 20 spend part, at
least, of all holidays with him and are to
visit his parents on Thursday and Sun
day afternoons. Neither are the child
rem TO be taken to America without his
permission, as 10 no other way can Boni
be assured that they will be reared ac-
cording to French ideas Boni fears
that the countess may want 10 keep them
in the United States in view of her state
ment thai she is miserable IN France aud
has never itlt at home tnerl.
NJ. Bonnet made Glsl effort to iu-
iuce the court to order an i0quiIy to
prove the allegations made against his
client, which be stated had not been
substanliated. The court ruling was
against him, however.
Then came the creditors, and the hear
ing Of. their claims, which had been
postponed until after the divorce case
was attended tc, was begun.
That the creditors intend 10 try to
hold Countess Anna jointly liable with
Boni for his enormous debts WAS dsmou-
strated 10 tue opening speech of NJ. Mil
lerand. The attorney declared that the
| / 900, 900 francs annual income allotted
the Castellanes by the Gould family wss
not sufficient to meet the household ex-
penses. Hence Boni and Countess Anna
j)iutly got into the hands of usurer'.
Both husband and wife signed papers on
which money was loaned. he declared
that Countess Anna has recognized the
debts, thus making herself respoasible
for them. The hearing was adjourned
after NJ. Millerand's address.

The republican majority in the House
of Representatives is l1s aud in Tues
DAVIS election the democrats reduced this
majority by more than one half But
for the unfortunate speech made by Mr.
BRYAN when he returned from Europe 10
August last and the acceptance OF Mr.
Hearst a. the democratic candidate for
governor of New York there is every
reason to believe that this republican
msjority would have been wiped out en-
trely and that the democfat' would
have gained control of the popular branch
of Cong ress. But as has been The case
