LONDON. Nov. 25.-The Times pub

correspondent:
The royal army medical corps has
achieved many important advances in
knowledge since the war began. Not the
least Of these may prove to be the dis
covery Of Capt. Morris. whose paper APP

that very early accurate diagnosis OF
typhoid fever may be made by giving
the suspected patient a dose Of atropine.
For some time II has been known
that when atropine was administered to
a healthy person a quickening OF the
pulse occurs. Capt. Morris in his recent
study Of typhoid fever cases has dis
covered that In the very early stages OF
the disease a dose Of the drug has little
or no effect upon the pulse rate. The
ordinary normal q%uickenins Ia not oh
served. His test has been subjected to
the severest criticism and trial 1t e.

doubtful cases can be quickly separated,
often at 4 stage before any Of the older

Hampshire, New Mexico, Oregon,
Washington, Virginia-Sl.
The chairmen of both parties claim
ed the states, and the advantages
seem to be in favor of the Republi-
cans in the state of Indiana, Mime
sofa, Oregon and West Virginia, al
though at times Wilson assumed the
lead in some of these. In the other
states listed as doubtful the Democrats
had the advantage, California's 13
votes being especially favorable to the
Democratic calculators. The vote in
Indiana was very close, Oregon, Idaho,
Washington and New Mexico were at
times reported to have Wilson major
tiles, and New Hampshire came to the
front with slight lead for the Demo
cratic ticket.
In view of these conditions and in
dications, Chairman Mccormick conf
IDENTIFY asserted that Wilson would
have total of 3O4 votes in the cleo
toral college. He asserted that the
victory is emphasized by the reluc-
tance of the enemy to admit defeat,
and is a complete reputation of the
unfounded claims sent over the coun-
try by the Republican National Com
mittee."
The Republicans have not, on the
face Of the returns, overcome the
Democratic majority in Congress.
With about 100 congressional districts
still to be heard from, the Republicans
had made net gain of eight members
in the house, but late returns from
New York indicated that two of these
might be reversed.
With net gain of eight, it would
leave the house with a Democratic
majority of seven.
In the Senate the Democrats show
ed losses from New York, New Jer-
sey and Maryland. The indications
were they would lose the two sena-
| tors from Indiana, one from West Vir-
ginia, and possibly one each in Ohio
Montana and Arizona. The Demo
Gratis, however, gained three senators
from Rhode Island, Delaware and
Utah. Conceding all probable Repub-
lican gains would give a net Republi-
can gain Of seven in the Senate and
leave the Democratic majority at two.

Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Alabama,
Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas and
Texas. Democratic state tickets were

The Democrats gained at least one
seat in Congress in the defeat of

Carolina. In Virginia, the Democrats
retained their nine seats and the race
in the Ninth District, which is nor

arlly. Our troops, in spite of tena-
