1T LOOKS GOOD TO HIM.
President Roosevelt Compares Elec-
ton Results with Previous Years.

Washington. Nov. President
Roosevelt in a statement regarding
Tuesdays elections, said:
THE victory in New Jersey. was
precisely what happened nine years
ago in the middle of President Nc
Kinley's administration. He had car
ried New Jersey by $4,000 and two
years afterwards the Republican can
didate for governor had $500, the
vote being cut down just as happened
in the Judge Fort case. AS compared
with the elections next preceding the
last presidential election we have done
decidedly better than we did in 1903
Then. as on Tuesday. Rhode Island
and Maryland went against us, but
this year we have won a sweeping
victory in Kentucky for the first time
since McKinley's first election: and
the victory in Massac husetts was also
remarkable.
1.-THE showing in Pennsylvania and
Nebraska is equally good. The show
ing in New York state as a whole was
excellent far better than was the
case prior to the last presidential cleo
ton. That the result in Manhattan
was due to purely local causes is
shown by comparing it with the de-
cisive triumphs in Brooklyn, Buffalo,
Albany and in the state generally. My
home county of Nassau made better
showing than it ever has in an off
year. AS whole the showing has
been an Improvement over what it
was four and eight years ago."

$56, 100000 FOR RAILS.
Orders For That Amount Are Expect
ed In Short Time.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 7.-Predictions
are made that the delay of the rail-
roads in placing orders for steel rails
will be ended within 80 days, when it
is expected there will be upwards of
from 100000 to 100000 tons of
new orders placed. Should the vast
tonnage, amounting at least to $56,-
100000 materialize it will place the
trade here in its normal condition and
strengthen every other branch of the
steel industry.
The conferences between the rail-
roads and the steel manufacturers ov-
er the process of rail manufacture
has drifted along for months longer
than had been anticipated by either
side. The agreement said to have
been reached provides for an optional
percentage cropping new rails. I'm
der the old process eight per cent of
a new rail was cut off to insure
soundness of the remainder. Experts
claimed this is too small and a re-
commentator that it be increased to
Is per cent was made. To offset the
additional cost that this would mean
to manufacturers it said to have been
tacitly agreed that. the Increased
cropping will advance the price of
rails. Under the old arrangement
rails sold for $2S a ton, which price,
1t is said, will advance to $31 a ton
