What Payw® Sayg.
Chicago, 111., Nor. 7.—Vies Chairman
Payne of the Republican national com-
mittee issued the following statement:
"McKinley has surely carried all the
states claimed by me, excepting possi-
bly Kentucky, and returns indicate that
we have beaten Bryan in Nebraska."
There was high good humor at Re-
i publican headquarters all through the
early part of the night, and! as the Re-
publicans kept on in way to add to the
good feeling, the crowd that thronged
the headquarters rent the air with ap-
plause and cheers. A message from the
president was received by Mr. Payne,
reading as follows:
"All New England', Maryland and
West Virginia are in the Republican
column."
The hilarity rose highly when a mes-
sage was received saying that Sioux
Falls, S. D., the home of Senator Pet-
tigrew, had given McK'nley a pluarality
of 495. There ws loud laughter, min-
gled with cries of "Good boy Petti-
grew," and Mr. Payne wired Chairman
Hanna "It's time to fill up."
A dispatch following close upon that
from Sioux Falls declaring that Con-
gressman John J. Lentz had been beat-
en in Ohio received1 even a more bois-
terous welcome.
Dispatches from Bloomington stat
ing that Stevenson's precinct had been
carried for McKinley by 306 to 112 was
recived with great cheering, which
was redoubled later cm by the an-
nouncement that Bryan's precinct had
been carried by McKinley by 208 to
105.
Word was received that Vice Chair-
man Stone of the Democratic commit-
tee refused to acknowledge the election
of McKinley, saying that the early re-
turns were always in favor of the Re-
publicans, and there was much ironical
applause for Chairman Stone. National
Committeeman New in Indianapolis
wired as follows:
"1 am not going off half-forked, but
we have certainly carried Indiana by
an increased majority over 1896."
"Besides the states we have already
claimed," said Mr. Payne "We now hold
the following: Kansas 10, California,
with the one vote Bryan got in 1896 (
Nebraska 8, Nevada 3, South Dakota 4,
Utah 3, Washington!, and Wyoming 3
votes, making a total of 295 electoral
votes for McKinley. To these will prob-
ably be added Kentucky, with the one
vote lost four years ago, and Idaho
with three, making a total of 299
votes."
At 11 p. m. Chairman Rowe of the
Republican state central committee
gave out the following statement:
"I see no reason at this hour to
change the figures of the state central
committee Issued before the election.
McKinley has carried the state by 80,-
000 outside of Sook county. In Cook
; county the indications are that both
'McKinley and Yates ill have a major-
ity with McKinley in the lead by about
15,000.1 estimate his pluarality in Cook
county at 25,000. Chairman Watson of
the Democratic state central committee
refused to conced the state to McKin-
ley, and claimed that Alschuler, Demo-
cratic candidate for governor, had car-
ried the state by a small plurality.
Concede* Nothing.
Chicago, 111., Nov. 7.—The belief pre-
vailed last night at the Democratic na-
tional headquartere that the battle is
lost and that McKinley has been elect ■
ed by a larger i^uarality than he re-:
ceived four years ago. Senator Jones,
near whom was seteil ex-Gov. AltgeM*
nd ex-Gov. Hogg of Texas, was busy
reading bulletins from various states
and commenting upon the figures. H#
said:
"I do not know yet The returns are
too meager to make a prediction."
"We are going to win yet," said ex-
Gov. Hogg. "These figures are doctored
and are the work of Wall street gam-
blers. They do not represent the will
of the people."
While conversing with the two ex-
governors, Senator Jones was shown ?
telegram from New York stating that
W. J. Stone had conceded the state to
McKinley by over 100.000. Tis only
comment was:
"Well, that may be right, but I am
not going to concede anything now."

Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 7.—Vote in
Montgomery for president: Bryan 1183,
McKinley 216, Barker 18, Woolley 16.
Mobile—The vote in Mobile and
county was very light, many citizens;
not voting except for congressman.!
The Republicans carried the seventh
ward by 600 majority, largely negro
votes. This will probabl ybe offset fey
the county returns.
Birmingham—Very light vote was
cast in this (Jefferson) county, which
goes for Bryan two to one. Several
precincts were carried for McKinley.
Montgomery—Returns from the state
are too meager to give any figures on
the vote for president. Bryan carried
the state by a large majority on a
light vote.
President Ovated.
Canton, O., Nov. 7.—At midnight
last night Canton was in a frenzy of
enthusiasm which knew no bounds.
The crowds which had been burning
red fire down town marched en masse
to the McKinley residence with bands
playing, rockets sending lurid streaks
across the midnight sky and tumul-
tuous cheers mingled with the din of
horns and steam whistles.
The crowd clamored for the presi-
dent and he appeared, waving his ac-
knowledgment of the deafening cheers.
The president said:
"Fellow Citzens: "I thank you for
the very great compliment of this call
on this inclement night and at this
late hour. (Cheers of 'You're wel-
come.') Of the many gratifying re-
ports from every part of the country,
none have given me more genuine and
sincere gratitude than those from my
own city and my own county of Stark,
and I appear now, only to as I have
done on so many former occasions, to
thank you once more for the warm
and hearty indorsement which you
have to-day given my public acts."

Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 7.—At mid-
tiight last night the following state-
ment was issued by the Indianapolis
Sentinel (Dem.):
"The returns up to this hour are
.very meager and the resu., in Indiana
Is doubtful, but if the pen, antage of
Republican gain indicate by the
latest reports is maintained .he state
.■will give McKinley approximately the
same plurality as in 7896."
The Indianapolis Journal (I ep.) at
midnight last night claimed th-} state
tor McKinley by an increased pi rality
over 1890.
Republicans claim to have gains in
Michigan.
Arkansas.
Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 7.—The
largest counties show gains for Bryan,
indicating he will carry the state by
75,000. Negroes did not vote their full
strength. Returns from remote coun-
ties not received. Indications are that
six Democratic congressmen are elect-
ed by increased majorities.
At 11:0 o'clock Tuesday night the
returns show a slight falling off in
the vote in large counties, which may
reduce Bryan's majority to 50,000. In
the cities Bryan runs a trifle behind
the Democratic nominees for congress.
A very small vote was received by the
Populist electors, and the Prohibition
vote in the state will not exceed 1000.
The vote of Little Rock, Fort Smith
and Hot Springs was unusually light.
The Gazette estimates a majority of
60,000 for Bryan in Arkansas. Six
Democratic congressmen elected be-
yond doubt.
Little Rock—City vota complete.

New Orleans, La., Nov. 6.—In the
civil district court Monday a suit that
easily ranks as the biggest filed here
In recent - years was entered by the
liquidators of the Texas Express com-
pany, a corporation organized in this
city in 1866. The suit involves the
liquidation of the partnership existing
between the Wells-Fargo Express com-
pany and the old Texas Express com-
pany, and a sum that will reach over
$500,000. The damages sued for
amount to $500,000, and besides that
sum an additional $50,000 is claimed
as recompense for the alleged appro-
priation by the Wells-Fargo Express
company of the personal property of
the plaintiff company. The Texas Ex-
press company at one time did an ex-
tensive business in this city and Tex-
as. Besides the monetary interests
involved, the suit has for its object the
forcing of an accounting under cer-
tain partnership arrangements for-
merly existing between the Texas
company and the Wells-Fargo com-
pany.
The arrangement provided for a
Joint express business over roads be-
tween New Orleans and El Paso, Tex.,
the business to be conducted by the
Well:s-Fargo company. The complaint
is that the last mentioned company did
not fairly account for this business,
and suddenly terminated the same for
the purpose of appropriating to itself
the good will and established business
of the joint concern. It is charged
that the Wells-Fargo company also
appropriated all the property of the
joint concern. After a lengthy state-
ment o? the arrangement in question
and of the business, the petitioners
claim the value of the personal prop-
erty of the joint concern, statd to be
over $10,000; ask for an accounting of
the partnership business and claim
$500,000 as the value of the good will
and established business which the
defendant company is said to have un-
fairly appropriated to itself and its own
use. The liquidators, in whose name
the action is brought, are M. F. Lough-
lin of New York, F. J. Virgin and C.
L. Loop of Chattanooga.
Was Brought*
Queenstown, Nov. 6.—The Cunart
steamer Saxonia, Capt. Pritchard, from
Boston Oct. 27, which arrived here Sun-
day morning, brought fifteen members
of the crow of the fishing schooner
Mary Mosquito, which the Saxonia
sank off Gloucester on the day of her
departure from Boston. One member
of the crew was drowned. The Cunard-
er was not damaged. Dr. Bond of
Chelsea, Mass., ®ne of the Saxonia's
passengers, made the following state-
ment regarding tke accident:
"We were proceeding at reduced
speed in the fog and blowing the whis-
tle, when about 6 p. m. the lookout
man reported a sail ahead. The en-
gines were stopped, but the steamer's
sway carried her into the Mary Mos-
quito, making a big opening amid-
ship and flooding the schooner.
"By this time all the Saxonia's pas-
sengers were on deck. The scene was
one of great commotion, while appall-
ing shouts proceeded from the schoon-
er, whose crew, however, vorked vigor-
ously and got out two boats. Into these
fiften of the crew scraiOled and put
off from the sinking vessel.
"At the moment of the collision the
Saxonia lowered three lifeboats and
scattered life belts. Fortunately the
sea was smooth. Twenty minutes later
a dory came alongside with ten men
and a lifeboat from the Saxonia with
five, four of whom had been rescued
from a sinking dory and the other of
whom had fallen into the sea and nar-
rowly escaped drowning. All the men
are Portuguese."
Mother Hubbard Parade.
Wheeling, Wa. Va., Nov. 6.—Wheel-
ing's "Mother Hubbard" parade, the
evening before presidential election,
when the members of the marching
clubs of all parties come together and
join in a great demonstration in honor
of the Woman's Suffrage candidate for
president, is unique and original with
this city. Monday night's affair in
honor of Mrs. Catt was the largest on
record, fully 2000 marchers being in
line.
The real woman's suffragists had,
however, on this occasion, entered an
emphatic protest against the demon-
stration, but the opposition seemed to
add to the favor with which the pub-
lic looked at it Over 30,000 people
lined the streets and laughed at the
Several Derisions.
Washington, Nov. 6.—The supreme
court Monday handed down several de-
cisions, all, however, of minor Impor-
tance. In the case of the American
Sugar Refining company vs. the state
of Louisiana, brought on a writ of er-
ror from the supreme court of Louisi-
ana, which involved the right of the
state of Louisiana to exempt from the
operation of the general license on
manufacturers, planters and farmers
who refine their own product, the court
affirmed the' decision of the lower
court, holding that it had been the
policy of both the states and the gov-
ernment to enact legislation in favor
of products. The court announced
that Justice White, who comes from
Louisiana, did not participate in the
decision.
The case of Geo. W. Crossman vs.
Wm. Burrill, arising over a question of
demurrage claimed in connection with
the shipment of a cargo from Pensa-
cola Fla., to Rio de Janeiro during the
revolution in Brazil, was remanded to
the district court for the trial of cer-
tain issues.
