ELECTIONS IN MANY STATES.
johnson Wins Contest at Cleveland
and Taylor at Frisco.

ana aylor al Frisco.
New York, Nov. Collections held
throughout the country yesterday pass
ed off in comparative quiet. The re-
turns from various sections show the
following results:
Massachusetts reflects the entire Re-
publican state ticket, headed by Cover
nor Curtis Guild, Jr. Henry M. Whit
ney, the Citizens-D Democratic candidate
for governor, polled much heavier
vote than Char les w. Bartlett, the anti
merger Democrat.
Pennsylvania elects John O. Sheath,
Republican, head of the ticket, for state
treasurer, by large majority.
New York state elects Edward T.
Bartlett and Willard Bartlett, joint can
didatea on the Republican and Demo-
cratic ticket for justices of the court 4
Appeals, over the candidates CT the In
dependence League (Hearst.)
New York City elects the Tammany
candidates by considerable majorities
over the Independence League Repub-
lican candidates.
The Maryland contest for the govern
orship is in doubt owing to lateness of
returns. Conservative estimates based
on meager returns give Crothers, DEM
ocrat, for governor, a plurality OF &, 100
to 5000.
The Rhode Island returns indicate
the reelection of Governor James h.
Higgins, Democrat, over Frederick H.
Jackson, Republican, by plurality es-
timated at about 1000, showing a
Democratic gain over the plurality of
last year.
The election of the Democratic ticket
in Mississippi, headed by E. F. Noel
for governor, is foregone conclusion,
as there is no opposition ticket.
The Kentucky returns indicate Re-
publican gains, but whether they will
be enough to overcome the last Demo-
cratic majority ia not yet evident.
In Nebraska, NJ. B. Reese, Republi-
can candidate for the Supreme court,
the most important state office voted
on, is undoubtedly elected.
The American or anti. Mormon ticket
at Salt Lake City is estimated to have
the largest pluralities ever given in
that city.
At Toledo, Mayor Brand Whitlock
and the entire Independent ticket is re.
elected.
Cincinnati elects Colonel Leopold
Markbreit, the Tepubli IAN candidate
for mayor.
At very late hour the figures favor
ed the election of Katzenback, Demo-
crat, as governor of New Jersey, but his
lead was very narrow over Fort, Repub-
lican, less than l 900 separating them.

FURTHER LAND REFORMS.
Commis eioner Provides for Recording
Patents When Papers Lost.

Washington, Nov. S-The commits
sioner of the general land Office has
formulated a plan whereby parties hav-
ing some interest in land, patents for
which were issued years ago but which
have never been called for by thu pat
entee, may, without incurring the ex-
penses of searching for lost duplicate
receipts or furnishing abstracts OF title,
have such patents sent directly to the
proper county officer for record.
1t is believed that this method will
be the means of placing many OF these
ancient instruments on record and OF
Strengthening out title without impos-
ing extra expense upon interested par
ties other than the fees of county Off
GERS. 1t is said that many valuable
tracts are thus involved.

far as possible. The reserves embrace

pean lithographers brought here under
contract and held at Ellis island pend
ing decision on the protest by the
American Federation OF Labor will he
admitted. Secretary Straus based his
