GENERAL ELECTION.
-FIRST REPORTS FAVORABLE TO
M'KINLEY,
'New England and the Middle States Carried
by the Republicans-iiany States
ii Doubt-Reports are Coming in Slow.
Chairman Jones Talks
Chicago, Ill, Nov. 4 -The returns
received up to midnight last night indicate
the probable election of McKinley
and Hobart, although the returns
air so meagre from a number of doubtful
states that this conclusion can only
be reached by an estimate based upon
the gains and losses
The best returns obtainable show
that Maine and Maryland give majorities
somewhat reduced from the September
election.
New Hampshire gives about 20,000,
Massachusetts about 120,000 and Rhode
Island and Connecticut proportionate
majorities, all for McKinley.
New York is estimated at about 125,000
and Pennsylvania is likely to reach
the same figure, if not a greater
Maryland has been carried for the
Republican candidate for president by
a majority exceeding 20,000, and Delaware
is confidently claimed by the Republicans,
although the plurality is not
likely to exceed 1,000.
The returns from West Virginia are
not sufficient to justify the claim of
either party.
Ohio has given a very large Republican
plurality, and Kentucky is apparently
assured to the McKinley column,
although later returns may not justify
this claim.
Tennessee seems to have been carried
for Bryan, notwithstanding the
confident assertions to the contrary of
the Republican managers and the same
is probably true of North Carolina
/, Indiana and Michigan, as well as
Minnesota, indicate heavy Republican
gains and a strong probability that
they have gone for McKinley.
Illinois will give McKinley over 100,000
plurality.
Nebraska and North and South Dakota
are very close, and still in doubt
Wyoming seems to have gone for
McKinley.
The returns from the Pacific coast
states are too meagre to justify any
qlaim respecting them
The states of Virginia, South Carolina,
Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana,
Arkansas, Missouri, Colorado,
Nevada, Montana and Idaho may safely
be placed in the Bryan column.
-
, The returns from Kansas and Texas
3_Q scattered and indicate nothing, alth
Vgh heavy Republican gains are repoited
from Dallas and Galveston.
At 12 30 later returns seem to indicate
that WVest Virginia, Michigan and
Kentucky can be added to the Republican
column.

Jones Talks.
Chicago, Ill , Nov 4-At midnight
Chairman Jones gave out the following
signed statement There is at thir
time, midnight, no reason to think
that any one of the states claimed for
Bryan hab failed to vote for him.
While misleading reports are being
sent oat in all directions, private advices
as-ure us that each one of these
states has gone for Mr. Bryan For
two houis the most extravagant
claims as to Kentucky and Indiana
have been telegraphed all over the
country, while within the last few
minutes our committees assure us that
both are safe to us. Mr. Bryan is
certainly elected"
"I have seen no unfavorable report
from any btate that we have ever
claimed except Kentucky,' said Mr.
Jones at 11 p in reportss from that
state indicate a larger deflection
than we anticipated, but we don't
concede that state, by any means.
We can lose Kentucky and will then
have enough electoral votes to win"
At 11 p. m, Chairman Jones received
a message from State Chairman
Martin stating that Indiana was absolutely
certain for Bryan. Private telegrams
from Michigan indicated large
Democratic gains and the Democratic
committee based their hopes on Bryan's
election upon the result in these
two states.
At 1 15 a m. Chairman Jones said.
"This whole affair this evening has
been most extraordinary. I have just
received word from Raleigh, N. C.,
and the chairman ot that state states
that North Carolina is absolutely safe
for Bryan, and by at least 20,000 majority,
and yet reports have been givinmgit
to McKinley all evening. This
is only a specimen of the way things
are going The republicans seem to
have taken charge of the returns and
are sending them out to suit their own
purposes. There is something wrong
about the way things have been going
to-night"
Race War in North Carolina.
Raliegh, N. C ,Nov. 3 -A special from
Goldsboro says An incendiary speech
made here by Frank Baker, a colored
Republican of Dudley, caused a clashbetween white and colored citizens yesterday.
A mob of over 150 negroes,
armed with knives, pistols and clubs,
marched through the city and defied the
law. The sheriff and city authorities,
finding themselves unable to cope with
them, called upon the Goldsboro rifles
for assistance. This action had the effect
of quelling the disturbance, which
for a time looked as though a riot was
imminent The negroes repaired to a
hall in their location and held a meeting
The military is still held ready for
any emergency. The fire department
is al William Metzger,
shot through the body and killed, and
Scott Linton, who shot and killed himself.
The shooting was all done by
L-iton, who had been in love with the
Gray woman. He found Mc'tzger in
Miss Gray's room yesterday morning,
and, drawing a revolver, shot and killed
Metzger, then shot the girl, and
then fired a bullet into his own brain.
Havana WiVll be Attached
New York, Nov. 3.-A special from
Key West, Fla., says. A prominent
Cuban resident of this city said that
without assuming the role of a prophet
he could positively announce that the
city of Havana would be besieged by
Maximo Gomez within the next sixty
days. To that end, he said Gomez and
all the rebel forces were now marching
westward toward the capital
This Cuban is in direct communication
with the insurgent leaders in the
field, and is the local medium through
whom all insurgent correspondence for
tho New York junta passes. He also
stated that there was no confirmation
of a rumor circulated by Cuban passengers
who arrived here Sunday night
that the towns in the immediate outskirts
uf the city of Havana had been
already besieged by the insurgents.
While the Havana papers, many of
which were received by steamer Sunday
night, continue to maintain silence
in regard to Maceo's movements sance
nis brilliant attack on Artemisa, ten
days ago, it is still insisted by active
partisans here in direct communication
with the leaders in Cuba that be unquestionably
crossed the military
trocha at that point during the bombardment
of the town, and with a
small following has since marched
through the entire province of Havana,
and is now in Colon, a central
point in Matanzas province It is also
alleged that his mission there is to
concentrate and assume command of
the forces of Ricardo, Trujilo, Rojas
and other minor rebel leaders, who
have been operating in that vicinity
with between 4,000 and 5,000 well armed
men.
Notwithstanding the persistency of
this report, other Cubans here apparently
equally well informed, expressed
a doubt that Maceo has left the provincme
of Pinar del Rio, which movement
they say would imply defeat by
the superior forces sent against hiirby
Capt. Gen. Weyler. The explanation,
however, is offered that no abandonment
of territory has been made,
as Gen Rius Rivera. a veteran of the
last war. has been left in command of
the insurgent forces in Pinar del Rio,
while Maceo has gone eastward. in
obedience to orders from his superiors,
to operate with Meximo Gomez in the
latter's new campaign of invasion.
Gomez has not been heard from since
his attack on the town of Cascorro,
and the subsequent engagement of
Desmayo plantation, where he defeated
Gen. Jiminex Castellano Spanish
official dispatches' report large insurgent
forces moving westward fiom
Cimarronez, in Matanzas province,
near Cardenas, where an important attack
by the rebels is momentarily expected
The ominous silence of Gomez is
said to presage the planning of a series
of important attacks on the principal
cities within Havana and Matanzas
provinces, his recent apparent inactivity
having be-en caused only by a
desire to await the arrival of all thenew reinforcements from Spain and
their distribution throughout the island.
Now that they are garrisoned,
his proposed campaign of invasion will
be inaugurated at once, it is confidently
reported.
Case Temporarily Suspended
New York, Nov. 3.--A dispatch from
Havana says' Owing to a notice of
protest from Consul General Lee, taking
exception to the new courtmartial
of the Competitor's crew, begun in the
Fortress Cabana recently, the proceedings
in the case, have been temporarily
suspended A summons has, however,
been published in the local papers requiring
various witnesses to appear
and file written evidence against the
prisoners.
One member of the expedition,
George Ferran, after leading, surrendered
-o the Spanish authorities, and
who was pardoned under Gen. Weyler's
amnesty decree, has just been arrested
to await+Ahe trial as a witness
James "own, a British subject, and
promi n Havita business circles,
has riser -oD a polite'
chpNews from Japan,
New York, Nov. 3 -The following
special from Tokio, Japan, says.
"Count Okuma Shigenobu has entered
upon his duties as minister of foreign
affairs. He assures your corres
pondent that nothing in the relations
between Japan and America or Europe
seems to call for any immediate change
ef policy, but, with respect to eastern
countries, it is desirable to infuse
greater energy into the councils of the
emopie than has lately been exhibited.
For many years it has been Japan's
wishes to rescue Corea from political
chaos and to assist it in organizing its
administration upon a basis that will
enable it to hold a position of independence,
not alone for its own preservation,
but for the general security of
eastern Asia. To institute measures
to promote the moral welfare and material
progress of Corea will be one of the
tasks of the new cabinet.
Among the duties awaiting the government
few seem to be more worthy
than that of endeavoring to win the
confidence of China and to engage her
co-operation in developing the civilization
she has hitherto resisted, but
the advantage of which she can readily
share by following the course that Japan
has clearly marked out.
As regards internal measures, with
which the heads of other departments
are more directly concerned.
While there seems the military and
naval expansion will be steadily carried
out the methods of economy will be observed
at the legislation.
The Castles Case.
London, Nov. 3.-At the opening of
the Clerkenwell sessions yesterday
Chairman McConnell directed the attention
of the grand jury to the case of
Mr. and Mrs. M Castle of San Francisco,
who are charged with stealing
goods from various London stores, saying
that it presented some remarkable
circumstances. He added that the facts
did not differ from ordinary larceny,
except for the position of the parties.
Continuing, the chairman stated that
upon some occasions the Castles visited
stores together, but sometimes Mrs.
Castle was alone. Still he further asserted,
there was evidence which bore
the construction that there was joint
possession of the articles, anu he expressed
the opinion that it was proper
case for investigation by a common
jury as, with the exception of one, all
the seven charges were shoplifting.
The hearing of the case was set for
Friday next, at 10 30 a m
Provision, Captured.
KIey WVest, Fla, Nov 3.-Col. Gu:seppore,
formerly of the French army, and
Col Ortega, formerly of the Venezuelan
army, with Lieuts Trias and Carlos
Garcia, airived here yesterday from
Nassau. These men say they captured
a Spanish vessel off the coast of Cuba
and conveyed the provisions to the insurgents,
after which they embarked
on board the captured ship and arrived
at Nassau, where they were detained
three days in quarantine. They also
state that Maximo Gomez and other
insurgent leaders have sufficient arms
and ammunition to carry on the winter
campaign.
A Special Collided
Malcolmn, Neb., Nov. 3.-A special
train bearing John P. Irish, the Republican
orator, following the Bryan train
in the interest of the gold standard
ticket, collided with a freight train
east of Malcolm and smashed the engine
of the Irish train and completely
demolished the caboose of the freight
train. John M Tipling, of Lincoln, a
commercial treaveler, was caught in
the caboose and killed. The freight
train had orders to sidetrack at this
point, but the engine of the freight
train stalled, and before a flagman
could be sent out the special crashed
into it.

Anderson, Ind, Nov. 3 -Charles
Bryant, the Indiana member of the
window glass workers' wage committee,
informed the union workmen by
telegraph that the conference with
Chambers, at Pittsbarg, amounted tonothing and the committee adjourned

man of Louisville, Ky, escaped from a
sanitarium at Battle Creek where he
is being treated for insanity, and
bought a ticket for Detroit. He was

The Condition of Italy.
Statistics recently published show
how little Italy can afford to squander
money in the search for military glory
in Africa. Out of 8,254 communes,
1,454 have a defective water supply,
and 4,876 are as yet undrained. Some
100,000 persons are dwelling in 37,243
cellars. In 4,965 localities meat is reserved
for the rich, and in 1,700 bread
itself is considered a luxury, the peasantry
living mainly on maize. This
maize is affected by a parasitic fungus
and is the cause of the disease known
as the pellagra, which is said to attack
100,000 persons in North Italy
yearly, and to carry off upward of 1,000.
Perhaps this excessive mortality is not
unconnected with the fact that in 1,427
communes no doctor is to be found.
Antiquity of S-5ap
Soap is not a modern invention. It
is twice mentioned in the Bible, first in
Jeremiah and again in Malachi History
tells us that more than 2,000 years
ago the Gauls manufactured it by combining
beech tree aches with goat's fat.
A few years ago a soap-boiler's shop
was discovered in Pompeii, having been
buried beneath the terrible rumn of
ashes that fell upon that city 79 A D.
The soap found in the shop had not
lost all its efficacy, although it had
been buried 1,800 years At the time
that Pompeii was destroyed the soapmaking
business was carried on in several
of the Italian cities -Grocer's Revie'W.
A Cure for Rattlesndke Bite. "
A
cure of rattlesnake bite by the
chicken remedy is reported from
Madison county. Georgia, and the incident

is to kill a chicken and apply tLa
flesh as quickly as possible to the
