ncbuke to Republicans.

Chicago, November S.-James T.
Lloyd. chairman of the Democratic
National Congressional Committee, is
sued the following statement tonight:
present indications are that Con-
gress will be Democratic by about
thirty-fve majority. Thus far the re-
turns indicate that our prediction
estimates We're about correct.
1.-THE causes which have led to the
results of to-day are we'll known IT
is a serious rebukc to the Republican
party for it's failure to reduce the tariff
as the people believed the party had
promised. The high cost Of protected
manufactured articles, which has re-
suited in greatly increased cost OF Nv
ing. had had very much to do with pro-
ducing this result. There is general
dissatisfaction with existing political
conditions and with the present Repub-
lican administration. This has led to
its reputation as could be done at
the polls The Democratic party has
won a victory because the only hope
of the people is in its supremacy
The Republican party has shown by
its course that 1t will not enact legls-
lation in the interest of the masses
where such legislation would be to the
detriment of the classes"

PREMIER BRAND
DECLARES POLICY
Question of Trades Unions Must
Be Solved Clearly and
Freely.

Especial Gable to Tho Times-Dispatch.)
Paris, November s.--Premier BRAND
made his eagerly anticipated declara-
tion of policy In the Chamber of Depu-
ties this afternoon. The chamber WAS
crowded, and all the members of tho
new ministry were in their accustomed
seats
Contrary to his usual habit, M. Bril-
and read his address from manuscript.
There was the greatest interest In re-
gard to what the Premier would have
to say on the burning question of the
day, the question OF the rights OF trades
unions and the course to be pursued
by the government In cases like the
recent railway strike.
NJ BRAND said legislati was need
ed in regard TO the regulation of trades
unions such associations, he said. had
hitherto been neglected by laws. IT is
a grave question, lie said, whether en-
ploycs of public services can concert
eddy leave their work. This question,
he said, ought TO be solved. and solved
freely, clearly and unequivocally"
The Premier said he approved OF per-
mament arbitration schemes. but when
these schemes were ingeniously COM
bined with preventive means they might
remain incfficacious.
The government, said NJ. BRAND.
could not allow its agent, whose spe-
lial position gives them special advan-
tages, to paralyze the nations life, and
as existing legislation is not sufficient
for this purpose. 1t intends to ask the
chamber to complete 1t by adopting
measures which will assure the work
ing of the public services In case OF
detection by the regular employees.

sgess probably Will be distributed

The Newport News shipbuilding and
Dry Dock Company submitted the low
est bid, Offering to construct but one
of the vessels. The highest propos-
ais came from the Union Iron Works, of
San Francisco. and the Maryland Steel
Company, of Sparrow's Point Md. They
were so much higher than those Of all
the five other wards competing that
they are not likely to be considered,
The Bath Iron Works probably will be
the only yard to build two of the de-
stroyers.
The bids were for three classes9
Glass l was for vessels of government
design, hull and machinery; class 2.
the same, with speed notifications. and
class 8, for vessels of government de-
sign of hull and equipment, with bid
ders design for machinery.

| II trials are held over the Lewes course.
The vessels are practically OF the
same type as those for which bids ware
opened in September. 1905 and May,
