CONGRESS.

Washington Nov. 4.-Up to mid
night definite reports had been re.
ceived from 207 congressional dis
tricts out of total of 391 OF these
119 showed the election of republi-
cans. SO of democrats. In the entire
list there are only two changes of DO
litical complexion, and both were ia.
vorable to the republicans. The
democrats lost the eleventh Pennsyl.
vania to the republican nominee,
Henry w. Palmer The republicans
also regained the third Wisconsin dis
trict, which was lost by Joseph w,
Babcock two years ago. Babcock
was defeated by James w. Murphy.
and Murphy now goes down before
Arthur J. Kopp, republican. 1t seems
quite certain that republicans will
again control the house, and as far
as there are any indications they
point to small increased republican
majority in that body
Later returns indicate the election
of two republicans from North Caro-

of Mr. Slemp from the ninth Virginia
district. He will again be the only re.
publican in the Virginia delegation
