Munich and Bavarian rail- roads have also profited, the latter showing a surplus of $2,500,000, The balance of the Republican state ticket is elected by majorities ranging from 20,000 to 80,000. The figures show that in most of the counties these can- didates run slightly ahead of the gub- ernatorial candidate and somewhat be- hind the presidential tickets McKinley’s majority will be a little over 70, The figures on the presi- dential ticket are missing from several counties, but it is expected that when they do come in the only difference they will make will be to slightly in- crease President McKinley’s majority.

The Republicans elected all seven congressmen by good majorities. Con- gressman Morris, in the Sixth district, was re-elected by a majority of 7,462. In the Fourth Congressman Stevens received 6,363 votes more than his op- ponent. McCleary, in-the Second, has a majority of 5,090. Tawney, Eddy, Fletcher and Heatwole also received good safe majorities. The following is the vote on con- gressmen by counties: First District.

The latest returns have made several changes in the list of members of the newly elected house of representatives ot Minnesota. The Republicans gained one member, J. H. Nichols, who was elected 2s the second member from the Sixteenth dis- trict. The Democrats gained two mem- bers, Edward Egan, who Befeated F. S. Lane. Republican, in the Forty- fourth, and P. M.

MANY ARE ENGULFED. Steamer Founders on the Rocks During a Storm. Halifax, N. S., Nov. 13—The worst marine cisaster in the long list of steamers wrecked among the rocks and shoals at the entrance of the Bay of Fundy occurred Saturday morning when the side-wheel steamer City of Monticello, bound from St. John to Yarmouth, was overwhelmed by the mountainous seas only four miles from her destination and engulfed with forty-six of her passengers and crew. A heavy gale was raging at the time and there was a tremendous sea. The place where the Monticello struck is at the mouth of the Bay of Fundy, where the waters of the bay join those of the Atlantic. There are many reefs and shoals at this spot, and the currents are many and changeable, it being one of the most dangerous piaces on the coast. The gale Friday night kicked up a tremendous sea, and at the time the vessel struck the waves were beating upon the rocks and sending spray for hundreds of feet over the land. The Monticello was on her way from St. John to Yar- mouth with a full freight and a fairly large passenger list. Just Before She Foundered an attempt was made to reach the land in a small boat in charge of the quartermaster, and containing Third Officer Flemming, a stewardess named Smith and three passengers. The boat was smashed on a huge comber, the occupants being hurled higs upon the beach at Pembroke, uninjured. It is believed these are the only sur- vivors. One of the passengers in this boat was Capt. A. N. Smith of the steamer Pharsalia. The City of Mon- ticello was used in the coastwise ser- vice between Halifax, Yarmouth and St. Johns She was an iron side- wheel boat of about 1,000 tons gross, and was commanded by Capt. Hard- ing of Yarmouth, where most of her crew of thirty-seven men belong. She was formally called the City of Nor- folk, and was built at Wilmington, Del., in 1866. When she received Brit- ish register her name was changed. She was valued at $35,000 and was partially insured. The vessel had been rebuilt within the last fifteen years, but was not regarded as. safe in an exceptionally heavy sea. Six Lives Lost. Boston, Mass., Nov. 13.—The three- masted schooner Myra_ B,. Weaver was wrecked in Vineyard sound and six lives were lost. RESULT IN NEBRASKA. Official Count Necessary to Decide Complexion of the Legislature, Omaha, Nov. 13. — With but two counties to hear from in the state, on the face of unofficial returns, Dietrich, Rep., is elected governor by a plural- ity of 675 over Gov. Poynter. The bal- ance of the state ticket is likely to be Republican, but it will take the of- ficial count to, determine the result. There is no change in the legislative situation, the result depending on Douglas county (Omaha), in which the official count proceeded only a little way Saturday. McKinley’s majority in Nebraska is 7,500. Herr Most Is Very Mild. Chicago, Nov. 13.—Herr Most, with his fierceness subdued to gentleness, was the orator here of the thirteenth an- niversary of the execution of Anarchists Parsons, Spies, Fischer and Engel. The meeting was held in Central Music hall, The place was free of uniformed police- men, but two city detectives stood on the edge of the crowd in the lobby. A big United States flag was displayed with the red flage used in the Reccrasinn: se the stage. : M’ KINLEY GI GETS 292 HAS MAJORITY IN THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE OF 137. Nebraska and Kentucky No Longer in Doubt—The Former Goes to McKinley by a Plarality of About 7,000, and the Latter Goes to Bry- an by a Fair Majority—Republic- ans Have an Increased Majority in the House — Twenty-Eight States Go for McKinley and Sev- entcen for Bryan. ‘ The success of the Republican ticket was even greater than indicated by the earlier returns. President McKinley will have a larger electoral vote than he had in 1896. His total electoral vote this year is 292, In 1896 it was 271. Kentucky, which for some time was in doubt, gave Bryan a safe majority. Nebraska, another doubtful state, is found in the McKinley column by @ margin of about 7,000 votes, The Re- publican state’ ticket was also elected, put by a very small majority, The legislature, which will elect two United States senators, is probably Republican on joint ballot by a major- ity of one or two votes. The result is so close, however, that it will require the official count to definitely settle the question. Idaho, at first reported to have gone Republican, gave Mr. Bryan a small majority. President McKinley received plurali- ties in twenty- -eight states. The re- maining seventeen will cast their elect- oral votes for Bryan. In 1896 McKing ley carried twenty-three states and Bryan twenty-two. The following is the electoral vote by states. McKinley. Bryan. Alabama... . n Arkansas. . California Colorado. Delaware..

FAMOUS MEN DEAD. Marcus Daly and Henry Villard Pass Away. New York, Nov. 14. — Marcus Daly, one of the leading mine owners of the world, sixty years of age, died in his apartments in the Hotel Netherland at 8 o’clock yesterday morning. Dila- tion of the heart and Bright’s disease of the kidneys with resultant compli- cations were the immediate cause of death, though Mr. Daly’s illness dated back several years. He had ‘suffered severely during the last two months, but the end was painless. While he was surrounded by members of his family his life went out so peacefully that only the physicians in attendance knew that he had found rest. Marcus Daly's death assumed form in keep- ing with the strenuous life he had lived. His physical strength and vi- tality were great. What would have been hard labor for another little fa- tigued him. His soul was in his work. Years ago he vigorously supervised the operations in his mines and smelters. His men were all constant- ly under his direct observation. His motto was “Do yourself that which you would have done right.” Breathing the fumes of arsenic in smelters where copper ore from his mines were treated and living in the high altitudes of Montana weakened his heart. He realized that his con- stitution had broken, but did not soon enough give himself opportunity to recuperate. He at last came to New York and consulted three eminent specialists in diseases of the heart. They all made the same diagnosis and advised him to forsake active business life. Fretting under these orders, Mr. Daly, contrary to their advice, went to take the baths at Nanheim. These are said to be too stimulating in cases of Dilation of the Heart. Upon being told that death could not long be delayed, he hurried back to this city, hoping against hope that those who had previously helped him might again prolong his life. Mr. Daly returned from Europe about the middle of September. He was told by his physicians that his days could not be many. He wished to’ be taken to his new home at No. 725 Fifth avenue, but it was thought best that he should remain in the apartments in the Hotel Netherland, whither he had been taken from the steamship. His physicians told Mr. Daly that they could only guarantee his life from day to day, and that he might pass away at any time. He accepted the decision with fulr resignation, asking only that he might live until his family could be with him. Two of his daughters were then in Europe and Mr. Daly’s pleas- ure was great when they arrived. Mr. Daly failed rapidly on Sunday after- noon and he and the members of his family were told that his strength had been so depleted that he could not rally. Most of Sunday night he was unconscious, but he awoke at 4 o’clock yesterday morning and asked for his wife and children. “Only a little while more, only a lit- tle while more and then peace,” were his words to Mrs. Daly when she went to kim. With Mr. Daly at the mo- ment of his death were his wife, his three daughters, Mary, Margaret and Harriet, his son, Marcus Daly, Jr., his brother Patrick, his attorney, William Seallon, Dr. W. H. Thompson, Dr. Dillon Brown and the Rev. Fr. M. J. Lavelle. Plans for the funeral ‘are not yet complete. HENRY VILLARD DEAD. Apoplexy Ends the Life of the Great Financier. New York, Nov. 14. — Henry Villard, the financier, died at his summer home, Thorwood Park, near Dobbs Ferry. The causes of death were ap- oplexy, from which he had been a suf- ferer for several weeks. A week ago he contracted a severe cold which hastened the end. Mr. Villard had been unconscious nearly all the time since last Tuesday. Mr. Villard had resided at Dobbs Ferry during the summer months for the last eighteen years. It has been arranged that the funeral take place from the residence on Wednesday afternoon at 3:15, when the services will be conducted by the Rev. Theodore C. Williams of Tarry- town. The interment will be in a plot in Sleepy Hollow cemetery, where re- pose the remains of his youngest son, Hilgard, who died when five years old, and who drove the golden spike com- pleting the Northern Pacific railway, of which his father was president. Thorwood, the name of Mr. Villard’s country home at Dobbs Ferry, is a massive and handsome villa of stone and brick surrounded with spacious verandas. As soon as Mr. Villard’s death became known telegrams of condolence began to arrive at the house. It had been the intention of the Villard family to return to their New Ycrk city home about the mid- dle of October, but the health of Mr. Villard was so precarious that his physician persuaded him to remain in the country until he should become stronger. JEFF AFTER FITZ. New Ycrk, Nov. 14.—The following telegram was sent to Robert Fitzsim- mons at Norfolk, Va., in reply to a statement that he was not out of the fight business and wanted to meet Jeffries for the championship, and if given an opportunity he would readily grasp it: © “Robert Fitzsimmons, Norfolk, Va.: The papers here to-night state that you are willing to meet me again.

Were Charged With the Murder of the Wise Family—End of the Most Noted Criminal Case in the North- west—Mystery of the Great Crime Still Unsolved—Jury Had the Ver- dict Consideration for Twelve Hours — Other Charges ‘Will Be Nolled. Under Anoka, Minn., Nov. 13. — The Wise murder case is a thing of the past. Elmer Miller and James Hardy, charged with the murder of Mrs. Eliza Wise, have been found “not guilty,” and the nrost noted criminal case in the Northwest is now a matter of record. The case went to the jury on Saturday night at 10 o'clock. It took the jury just twelve hours to the minute to reach a decision. Judge Giddings delivered an impartial, un- biased charge, clear, concise and not garbed in words the jury could not comprehend. The jury filed into the jury room and there began its labors. They had a lunch at midnight. They did not retire during the night, but labored faithfully until the verdict was brought in Sunday morning «as the church bells were ringing through- out the city. At a trifle before 10 o’clock a ballot resulted in an agree- ment, and word was sent for the sher- iff, for the court officers, the judge and the prisoners and their.counsel to ap- pear. There was a great crowd in the court room. The fact that the jury had agreed was not known by many, but news travels fast, and fully 200 were there to await the results of three weeks of anxiety. The prison- ers sat close to the clerk’s desk. They were not nervous. They seemed to have No Fear of the Result. The jurymen walked in slowly and tooktheir places. The clerk read the roll, each man answered “here” in a clear voice, and then the court said: “Gentlemen of the jury, have you ar~ rived at a verdict?” They answered in the affirmative and the foreman handed a slip of paper to the judge. The court read it, solemnly handed it to Clerk Hart, and he read it aloud. As the words “not guilty” rang through the court room there was a murmur of applause; cut short by a call to order, and the jurymen were asked if this was their verdict. The judge thanked them and dismissed. them. The relatives fairly enveloped the boys in embraces. The boys were taken in custody of the deputies and will remain so until this morning, to await the action on the other indict- ment against them for murder. They cannot be released until the prosecu- tion permits and the judge decides. It is probable that the other indict~ ment against them will be nolled. The verdict of not guilty shows one of two things—that the boys either es- tablished an alibi or else the girls’ evi- dence was not believed. TWO VESSELS GO ASHORE. Canadian Bont Arabian and Schoon- er Boaz Driven Aground During » Gale. Whitefish Point, Mich., Nov. 13.—The Canadian steamer Arabian was driven ashore on Whitefish Point in the gale Saturday. It struck the beach about eight miles west of here, and, being without cargo, went high and dry. The crew was rescued with the aid of one of the life saving crews. The steamer does not appear to have been badly damaged, and the place where it struck was sandy. a Menominee, Mich., Nov. 13. — The schooner Boaz, laden with a cargo of elm lumber, waterlogged in the north~ east gale and drifted ashore at North Bay. It is reported from there that the schooner is breaking up in the heavy sea. There is a heavy snow- storm, and it covers the ground to a depth of three inches. FILIPINO TO SUE PROPRIETOR.
