Associated Press Dispatch.
Santa Fe, N. M., Nov. 10.—Tbday's
election developments make sure tj$e
Republicans will control the legisla-
ture absolutely, the state senate by a
two-thirds majority. The Democrats
and progressives together have only
one-third of the state senate and only
twenty votes out of forty-eight In the
house. Several contests are already
Kpoken of which the legislature, being
Jthe judge of Its own members, will
(decide and which may also give the
J house to the Republicans by two-
I thirds majority. But aside from that
1 the election of two regulars from
among the Republicans to the United
States senate Is assured. The returns
[ also show today that the Democratic
candidate for lieutenant governor, E.
||C. Debaca, received a slight majority,
' while the majority for McDonald,
Democratic candidate for governor,
according to latest advices Is 2000.
The rest of the state ticket is in
doubt and It may take the official
count on November 27, to decide some
of the closer contests, as election
judges in a number of precincts er-
roneously enclosed all of the poll
books and return tally sheets either
in the sealed ballot boxes or sent
them sealed to the territorial secre-
tary. Only one county, Mora, has thus
far sent in complete returns.

Twenty-six out of twenty-seven pre-
scinds in Guadalupe county give Bur-
sum, 1016; McDonald 1015, a ma-
jority of one for Bursum. The pre-
cinct to be heard from is usually
Democratic and may give McDonald
a majority of about fifteen. The

sum has a majority of 49. Palma will
likely add 30 to 60 to the majority,
making It close to 100.
The Republicans elect all the coun-
ty ticket except Julius Meyers, Pro-
gressive Republican, sheriff; Lorenxo
Zamora, Progressive Republican,
county commissioner; Juan Crus
Sanches, Democrat, county 2commis-
sioner. The majorities on the county
candidates are all very small with
the exception of 400 for Dr. C. J,
Amble.
Without Palma precinct the blue
b&Jlot wins by 33p.
In the Terrance county district
Chavez, Republican, is elected to the
house by 200; and Labadie has a
small lead over Rael for the house
from- the Torrance-Santa Fe-Guada-
lupe district. McCay, Republican,
leads in the county for the state sen-

for the fiscal year 1911, according to
the annual report of Lee McClung.
treasurer of the United Slates, made
-public today. On account of an In-
crease from other sources. Mr. Mc-
Clung points out, however, the total
receipts were nearly 1701,376,000.
Calling attention to th% fact that the
fiscal year closed with about $77,-
600,000 as working balance In the
vaults of the treasury—approximatly
the same amount which is there today
—Mr. McClung says:
“As there Is no emergency calling
for an Increase of government depo-
rts In banks, the treasury may by
keeping the cash in Its own vaults in
times of monetary ease, prevent the
use of the funds for the promotion
of speculative expansion. If, how-
ever, financial conditions should be-
come strained, the secretary of the
treasury Is In position to give prompt
and effective relief to the business
situation.”
The treasurer of the United States
is the only bonded person in his of-
fice. notwithstanding the enormus
amounts In money and securities ne-
cessarily handled by subordinates. Mr.
McClung requests the enactment of a ;
law “which would secure more pro- I
tection to the government and great- j
er fairness to the treasurer by plac- j
ing bonded responsibility more di-
rectly upon those officials and em-
ployes actually handling money and
securities.
To meet the demand for small de-
nominations of currency, the treas-
urer recommends that five dollar
gold certificates be issued, remov-
ing the restriction which confines the
issue to ten dollars and above, and
also that the provision of law limit-
ing the number of five dollar bank
notes he repealed or modified. Mr.
McClung believes congress should au-
thorize the Issuance of 6000 gold cer-
tificates payable to order, as there is
a demand for that denomination In
preference to the 110,000 certificate
now prescribed by law.
The five per cent fund deposited in
the treasury by national banks to
permit the prompt redemption of
their circulating nots Is inadequote,
says Mr. McClung.
"Almost throughout the entire fis-
cal year.” he adds, “the treasury had
to advance money for the redemption
of bank notes on the security of the
notes themselves. As the notes are
not obligations of the treasury, the
’banks should be required to deposit
at the G. H. & S. A. railway yards.
J. A. Seckington and David Gill, both
race horse men, are the victims.
Neither of the men are seriously in-
jured.
A murderous assault was made
early yesterday morning on David
Gill, a race horse man of this city.
The assault is alleged to have been
made by a party of more than a dozen
men at the corner of Stanton anil
San Antonio streets. GUI’s right ear
was almost severed from bis head and
he received numerous bruises about
the body.
According to officers of this city
this is the tenth assault that has been
made on men unidentified with the
strie by alleged strikers of the G. H.
& S. A. railway. In each instance the
assault has been prefaced by profane
epithets regarding the strikebreakers.
The assailants of Gill have not been
arresjed. Gill is sixty years old.
In police court yesterday afternoon
James Donnelly, charged with as-
saulting J. A. Seckington, a race horse
man, had his trial continued until
this afternoon in order that two more
witneses of the affair should be sub-
poenaed before the court. Donnelly,
who Is a blacksmith formerly em-
ployed by the G. H. & S. A. railway,
is a striker and is accused of having
made a vicious assault on Seckington,
thinking that he was a strikebreaker.
The Testimony.
Seckington testified that as he was
walking on Broadway late Tuesday
night he was assaulted by nine men.
He was struck on the head by a
slungshot and gashed in several
places by a large knife which was af
terwards picked up by the police at
the scene of the assault.
The plaintiff alleges that Donnelly
is one of the men who made the as-
sault, while the accused alleges that
he was only a bystander and made
an attempt to run away for fear the
police would arrest him on suspicion.
Two women who are said to have
witnessed the affair will appear be-
fore the court today, giving testimony
which It Is thought will be favorable
to the prosecution.
Seckington is one of the men who
was assaulted at the Juarez race
track last spring at the same time
one of the horse owners was murd-
ered by a Negro, who later escaped.
Secklngton'B wounds have been
given medical attention and are not
thought to be serious, with the ex-
ception'of a gash in the throat caused
by his tobacco pipe being struck a
heavy blow and thrust into hts mouth.
1 CONTEMPLATED EXTENSION
here today with twp other self-styled
political refugees on route to San An-
tonio to confer with General Reyes
regarding the Mexican situation.
Accompanying young Reyes were G.
Paz. editor of Mexico Libre, and
Joaquin Villado, one of the secreta-
ries of the Republican party In Mex-
ico.
Rudolfo Reyes said that tf after a
conference with his father, it should
be decided best that he return to
Mexico and continue his 'campaign
for governor of Jalisco, he would
willingly do so, although tt would be
a great personal' risk because those
who did not accord the most perfect
acquiescence to the Madero regime,
are subjected to great persecution.
Three of the 'Mexican Republican
party's secretaries are now in prison,
declared Reyes, because they de-
manded an Investigation of alleged
irregularities in the recent presiden-
tial election.
Young Reyes, who is thirty-three
years old, is professor of economy in
the Mexican National university and
a lawyer of international repute, it
is said he was offered many posts of
Importance under the Diaz adminis-
tration. but declined them all.

The validity of the eighth court of
civil appeals was established yesterday
morning by the supreme court of this
state. The eighth district remains in-
tact with the exception of the loss of
Borden and Gaines counties, which
will go to the seventh district at Ama-
rillo.
Telegrams to this effect were re-
ceived yesterday afternoon by Chief
Justice W. M. Petlcolas of the El
Paso court of civil appeals. One mes-
sage was received from Governor Col-
quitt saying: “The supreme court sus-
| tains the validity of your court.” The
) other message was received from F.
j T. Connelly, clerk of the supreme
j court. This telegram read: “Su-
preme court answered certified ques-
tions today in Southern Pacific com-
pany vs G. P. Sorey. Your court
wholly unimpaired except that you
lose Gaines and Borden counties from
your district.”
The case of the Southern Pacific
Railway company vs. O. P. Sorey is
an appeal case from the thirty-first
district court of this city. Sorey sued
the railway for damages for the loss
of a finger while in its employ. The
case was appealed by the railway and
carried to the El Paso court of civil
appeals, where a test case of the
validity of the court was made by the
railway filying a motion to stay the
proceedings of the court in the
grounds that it was not a valid court.
Suspense Ends.
Thus ends the suspense as to the
validity of the El Paso case. The
question of the validity of the court
arose more than a week ago, when
It was found that the Amarillo, or
single bill, creating the Amarillo
court alone, is a valid law becau.se of
the veto of the governor having been
made one day too late.
The state law provides that the
governor has twenty days following
the adjournment of the legislature In
which to veto any bill passed at that
session. Governor Colquitt held that
Associated Press Dispatch.
Peking, Nov. 10.—-Again today all
was quiet within the capital and at
Tien-Tain and there was no sign of
the revolutionary upheaval that has
been expected for days.
In Peking those who surround the
throne are engaged in efforts to end
the rebellion and tonight there seems
some foundation for tho gov*rwm«oVs
hope that it will be aloe to regain
tht allegiance of General Chang 8ao
Tsen. Chang is commander of tho
army division at Lnm-hnu, but now
Is detached on “sick leave."
He controls tho situation in north
China and the government has been
using every endeavor to gain his un-
qualified support. It desires Chang
to return to Peking and confer with
Yuan Shi Kai and iisi Liang, the
former viceroy of Manchuria. s
That Chang possibly may do so is
indicated in advices received today
from Lanehau. A correspondent in-
terviewed Chang and Gerfrral Pan,
the latter temporarily in command of
the Twentieth division during tho
“illness" of Chang. Both generals, it
is said, agreed that they would pro-
tect the emperor, if he Is still reign-
ing, or If he has abdicated they would
side with the peace party and the
constitution.
Regardless of race, they stated, if
the Manchus should massacre the
Chinese or vice versa, they would
fight agafnst the offending parties.
Court Will Move.
An official announcement tonight
says the court, meaning the dowager
empress and emperor, will move from
the winter palace to the inner-city,
November 20 arid orders all officials
on duty to attire themselves In win-
ter garments. An Imperial edict again
pathetically begs the Manchus and the
Chinese, to sink their differences and
live in brotherly affection.
The Chinese newspapers say Gen-
eral Ll Huen Itcng. leader of the rev-
olutionists, has made a counter-
proposition to Yuan Shi Kai to join
the rebels and assume temporarily the
presidency of the republic, pending
the assembling of a parliament.
Germans Active.
The attitude of the foreign legations
hot* is much commented upon. The
Germans are conspicuously prominent
and should the Manchus tie victori-
ous, It is bellqvod their activities will
be of great benefit to them.
They are now harboring ex-War
Minister Yin Tehang, who recently
was deposed ns commander of the
imperial troops and, Prince Tsai Tao,
a- brother of Prince Chun, the re-
gent.
The Japanese legation, probably
owing to former criticisms, Is main-
taining a most exemplary attitude. It
Is not harboring even Na Tung, tho
vice president of the privy council,
who is a long standing friend of the
Japanese. A member of the Ameri-
can legation has been asked to re-
ceive a quantity of unoolnod sliver,
the owner of it distrusting even the
foreign banks here.
In Cam of Massacre.
The diplomatic body has consider-
ed closing the quarter to ordinary
Chinese and Manehu refugees, hut It
is now being suggested that refugees
in the streets of the quarter should
be granted to any hunted persons who
are unarmed, While It is believed
in case of a massacre being attempt-
ed that the legation guards would be
sent through the city to stop it, cer-
tain refugees of the opinion that tho
quarter should he thrown open and
thereby make impossible the shedding
of innocent blood. «
of Kwan-Tung and Chi-Li and from j
Shun-Tung to Sze-Chuen. telegrams |
had been received voting for his se- j
lection to the office. He declared j
that within a few days delegates iron; j
all the provinces In revolt would ltfeet !
at Shanghai tp elect a provisional (ju>* I
eminent.
The latest advices from Hankow re-
ceived here by boats coming In today
are that only desultory lighting is
proceeding there.
The Republicans are fortifying Hnn-
Yang and Wu-Chang. Incoming trains
at these places are loaded with am-
) munition, o which an enormous stock
lias been accumulated.
Not more than 7000 troops arc op-
erating around Hankow, tho remain-
der being scattered along the rail-
way. imperialists assert that tne
Peking authorities have ordered that
there be no aggression, pending a set-
tlement of the revolt. It Is undoubt-
edly true that General Lt Yuen
Cheng, the revolutionary leader, has
received telegrams from Peking pro-
mising him a full pardon and grant-
ing ail the demands of tho revolu-
tionists.
