Washington, November 4.-(Spe-
ciaI.)-In a race SO close that 1t
fires the imagination but gives lit
tie comfort to the campaign man
ayers on either side. the indica-
lions of the HeraId's congressional
canvass are that the republicans
will control the next House of
Representatives. by majority of
) votes out of "A total of f35 and
that the democrats Will control
the Senate By majority Of votes
out of a total OF 96.
The % doubtful congressional dis
tricts remaining in last Sundays sum-
mary have all been placed in one COL
umn or the other. The task was by
no means easy and the Herald does
not assert that the predictions are
infallible. They are the best that
straw votes and expert opinions can
accomplish. In the past this informa-
ton has never been far wrong.
DOUBTFUL DISTRICTS DIVIDED
Fifteen of the % doubtful districts
have been put in the democratic coll
umn and 13 in the republican column,
so that the next House, If the Her
AIDS prediction is correct. will stand:
Republicans, 220
Democrats 215
The present House stands:
Democrats, 232.
Republicans, 203.
In several instances progressives
have been classified as republicans,
with whom they have usually voted,
and Meyer London, of New York. So
cialist member Of the present House,
has been counted with the democrats
in order to simplify the accompanying
tables There is a prospect of the cleo
ton of another socialist in New York
city and perhaps one or two in Wis
consin.
HOW THE SENATE LOOKS
Although republican campaign man
ayers insist they have Eat least an
even chance" to carry the Senate this
year. the Heralds canvass of the
states in which senators will be elect
ed next Tuesday indicates that they
will not be successful, but that the
new Senate will contain
Democrats, SO; republicans, 46.
The present senate contains:
Democrats, Sc; republicans 40.
Thus 1T is likely that if Charles E.
Hughes is elected President he will
have a divided Congress. just as Pres
ident Taft did during the last part of
his administration. The democrats car
ried the House in 1910. but not the
Senate. 1t took them. four years to get
control of that body. That is usually
the case. since only one-third of the
membership of the Senate is elected
every two years
The states in which the Herald $
canvass indicates republican senator
ial gains are: Maine. l (already elect
ed) New York, 1: New Jersey, |; Ohio,
/; West Virginia, 1, and Indiana, L.
ONE DEMOCRATIC GAIN
The democrats are expected to gain
one senator in Delaware. Eleventh

An explosion, followed by after
damp, in the Bessie mine of the Sloss-
Sheffield Steel and Iron company at
2:45 o'clock yesterday morning drew
toll of over 25 lives. Thirty-five
miners, II white and "a colored, were
in the entries underwriting coal when
the muffled roar of the terrific de-
tonation that shook the western part
Of Jefferson county within radius
of 10 miles of the disaster issued forth
from the pit of the mine.
Three white men and five negroes
escaped death.
Three hours after the shock five
miners, headed by John Drake a fire
boss, plodded YEARLY up the infre
quently used slope that opens near
Bessie junction. Two white men, John
Drake and J, H. MCGOWAN, and three
negroes. Booth Reed, Henry Steele and
p Fl. Hollis, cheated death.
Crews of rescuers, equipped with
oxygen helmets, threw themselves into
the grim, ominously darkened slope of
the mine with the dawn of day The
stout of heart, believing that some of
the entombed men might nave been
saved from the deadly afterdamp,
worked franticalIy for over hours
hoping that some might be brought
from the nav of the mine alive This
hope was sWelled into reality at s
O'Clock yesterday afternoon when the
precursors of the rescuers found brat
ticed in safety in the ninth right entry
John Shell. the white fire boss, and
two negro machine runners. Tom Sims
and M. Williams.
CLEAN OF HOPE
AS the three were hauled to the pit
of the mine at Z o'clock a CLEAN OF
hope possessed the hundreds thar
grouped about the slope and on the
hills that formed vast amphitheater
about the soot-covered opening that
others might be saved from the grip
of death. But this was dissipated, as
i bodies with life extinct, were To-
Gated by the rescuers near the eighth
right entry and on the new slope at
the eleventh LETT. The explosion and
it's subsequent fury of flames had not
taken their lives but afterdamp, the
deadly gas that snuffed out their
mortal coils in a twinkling, had ex-
acted it's narrowing toll.
At 1 o'clock this morning all of the
men had not been accounted for, but
it was believed that q had persisted.
They are:
White Martin Jones, machine man,
single; Lonnie Gray, scraper, single; Clint
Hubbard, labor foreman, married; Otis
Glover, miner, married: Glenn Woods,

New York. November abnormal
statements issued here tonight by the
chairmen Of the republican aud demo-
cratic national committees each made
positive claims of victory in the cleo
ton next Tuesday.
Vance Mccormick, national demo-
cratic chairman, in what he character
lied as his first and only forecast of
the campaign. predicted that President
Wilson will have at least S64 of the
total of 5S1 electoral votes. with pos
sibility that the number. would be
swelled to 461.
William r. Wilcox. the republican
chairman. reported to Mr.. Hughes that
his minimum majority in the electoral
college would be 100 votes and that
doubtless "the majority will be much
greater"
Mr.. Mccormick said the doubtful
states would go democratic.

spend a month in New Zealand and
will then go on to Canada.
Speaking of his efforts III the Com
which involved 5000 miles
travelling in about six weeks, he said.
they had been extraordinarily success
full.
The Queensland government" he
said, is prepared to provide million
acres for agriculture for the settle
ment Of ex-service men from the Unit
ed Kingdom. The New South Wales
government by its irrigation schemes
will be enabled to increase its settlers
by about 1000 in two years and in this
is prepared to put time-expired Unit

ing as it's own men. Other states are
also willing to extend to ex-service
men from the United Kingdom the
same advantages in land settlement as
they offer their own.
when this war ends we shall be
faced suddenly with the problem of
handling great numbers of the 5000 :

GERMAN tj-BOAT NOW
REPORTED TO Be IN
BAY OF CHESAPEAKE

Reports of the much heralded visit
o. German submarine to the United
States arose Saturday by news re-
ports from New York. A German u
boat recently visited Spain with a
special autograph message from the
Kaiser to King Alphonso. Sometime
ago it was stated that U-boat would
visit the United States with message
for President Wilson from Kaiser Will
helm. The following story appeared
Saturday:
NEW YORK, July 1.-The Transact
lantic Trust Company of this city,
which has been recognized here as an
unofficial financial agent of the Aus
TRAN and German governments, an
nounced today in a half-page adver.
tisement in the Hungarian Daily
Amerikai MAGYAR Nepszava, that the
German submarine so frequently re-
ported as being on the way here from
Hamburg reached Baltimore Thurs
day morning and now is concealed
somewhere nearby, presumably under
the waters of Chesapeake Bay.
Hiding Place Secret.
The directorate o fthe Trust Com
pany includes the name of the Austro-
Hungarian consul agent, Alexander
Nuber Won Perekel. Officials of the
trust company refused to make known
the exact whereabouts Of the myster-
ious craft.
The advertisement read.
Wonder of wonders! Money for
warded to Hungary by a German sub
marine. One hundred krona for $14.
Only Thursday morning there arrived
at Baltimore German submarine and
it leaves for Europe in few days.
The Transatlantic Trust Company an
nounces with pride that from now on
it will send money orders by this way
and will manage to get receipts by the
same way"
At the general Offices of the Trans
Trust Company it was said
the advertisement had been prepared
under the direction of President Julius
Printer. He was not at the Office
and in his absence none of the officials
would discuss the submarine.
Question of Neutrality.
Secrecy, it was said, was considered
necessary to prevent possible con-
aict with the American government on
the status fthe boat--a question of
neutrality only, it was explained. Ac-
cording to this version the German
embassy feared that the submarine
might be regarded as a warship byI
the United States authorities and as
such order her out of American waters
