NEW YORK.

New York. Nov. 8.-The next New
York state assembly will be overwhel-
mingly republican The lower house
will stand: Republicans, 101; denocrts.
AZ; socialists. /. The state senate holds
over from last year, and therefore con-
democratic.
Tammany's hold on New York was
shaken Yesterday In a battle Of ballots,
in which local Offices were mainly at
stake. The democrats defended their
ancient stronghold of Manhattan and
the Bronx, but at greatly reduced plur-
alities.
Queens county also stood by the dem
ocrats, but the republican fusion can
didates made nearly a clean sweep of
Brooklyn and probably divided honors
in the little borough Of Richmond.

SAFE IN

American Officers Think Italy
Has Advantage Of Present
Situation.

Marseilcs, France. Nov. 14.-Offcers
IF the American cruiser Chester, which
arrived from Tripoli Saturday are
unanimous in the opinion that foreign
ers are in no danger there. Commander
Decker will forward an official report
on the situation to Washington.
OFFICERS of the Chester say hat dur
ing their stay at Tripoli the Turkish
batteries, located east of the city, were
directing an effective fire against The
Italian warships in the roadstead.
The officers think the italians control
the situation in Tripoli and are adj
yancinG slowly into the interior. The
cholera situation in the city is bad, but
apparently the epidemic is not serious
among the Italian forces.
The general impression of the Italian
aviation service was that it was very
effective in facilitating the advance
movements of the Italians. From the
Chester the aeroplane could be seen
m~aneuvering above the forts in the
harbor and over the oasis, the trees
Of which concealed Arab and Turks.

milya, accused of the murder of Ar
thu Bissonette, has ordered the sale
OF all OF her household goods, the bulk
Of her other personal property, and

tendants at the county jail hospital,
where she is a patient, that the sale
of her belongings was necessary in
order hat she might raise money for
her defense. The owner of the build
ing in which she lived. it is said, de-
manded the surrender of the lease be-
cause of the notoriety which has been
attracted to the premises by the police
investigation.

will investigate are Mrs. Verm1lya and
Mrs. John NJ. Quinn, both Of whom are

the former wcu out by a large majority,
The sores caused by this fight had not
healed, judging from the vote which the
downtown wards, controlled by Ware,
gave to the reform candidate.
