New York, Nov. 4.-The latest re-
turns from yesterdays elections in
dicate that the democratic majority
in the house of Representatives will
be reduced to 90. The probable dem
ocratic majority in the senate is IA.
Before this election, the democrats
held majority in the house of 67,
this meaning that 24l democratic con.
gressmen will be seated at the next
session, as against 2S5 up to this
time.
How They Stand.
The democrats elected 226 mem
'bers, republicans 80, progressives 10,
and socialists !. OF the six missing
districts, it is estimated that the re-
publican and democrats elected three
each. The heaviest republican gains
were Is in Illinois, 12 in New York,
ten in Pennsylvania, and nine in
Ohio. The progressive representa-
tion in the house is cut from 19 to
nine.
This resulted in the general col
lapse of the progressive organization
throughout the country, except in Cal
ifornia, where Johnson was re-elect-
ed governor. On the basis of the lat
est returns, the senate will remain in
democratic control by an increased
majority. Although there is uncer-
tainty regarding the election in Neva-
da, the indication is that the new SEN
ate will consist of 55 democrats, 40
republicans and one progressive.
Roger Seems Beaten.
Drawing strongly from the country
districts, Senator Sherman of Illinois
will, if the present ratio is maintain
ed, defeat Roger Sullivan by 5000
votes. The present lead of Sullivan,
however, mal1esti uncertain whether
Sherman viii have enough plurality
outside of Cook county, where Sulli-
van ran way ahead, to pass the dem
ocrat. Uncle Joe Cannon and Will
liam Mckinley were easily victorious
in the congressional fight.
Johnson Wins in South Dakota.
Reports from South Dakota state
that Burke tonight comedies the lee
tion Of Johnson to the senate. John
sons plurality will run about 5000.
The congressman apparently elected
from South Dakota are Johnson and
Dillon, republicans, and Candy, demo-
crat.
Woncan's Suffrage.
Though the vote is incomplete, it is
indicated that woman suffrage was
successful in Montana and Nevada,
while it was defeated in all of the 9th
er states where it was submitted.
Prohibition.
Ohio, California and Washington
all voted to retain the saloons yester-
day, with the result in doubt in Colo
RADIO, Oregon and Arizona. These
were the only states voting on the
question. The vote of Cincinnati de-
feated both woman suffrage and pro.
hibition in Ohio.

nors were named, nine democrats and
