The first election returns seemed to indicate an overwhelming majority for McKinley. Later returns put quite a different aspect on the matter. Our election news on the first page gives McKinley 238 electoral votes, with Delaware and Indiana in doubt. If these two states should go over to the Bryan column it would leave Mc Kinley 220. or four short ot an elec tion. Besides these, Bryan must get every other doubtful state. The New York Journal this morning gives Mc Kinley only 209. and Chairman Jones claims Bryan's election. The New York Sun claims 2 So for McKinley, and the Herald gives him 277, the Tribune 274. the World 280. This information came direct by telephone from the offices of these papers at 3 o'clock this morning. This shows that the first reports were very greatly exaggerated, and the result is still in doubt, although the chances are strongly in favor of McKinley. Wilson Would Not be a Judge- The Court ot Claims Bench May Be Adorned by Secretary Herbert or Pro!. Munson. Washington, Nov. i. Postmaster- General Wilson stated emphatically to-day that he would under no circum stances accept the Chief Justiceship of the Court of Claims, recently made vacant bv the death of Tude Richard son, even if tendered him by the President. It had been regarded as a practica' certainty that Mr. Wilson would be the President's first choice for the position. It is understood that he prefers to re-establish his law practice, and possibly resume his old place in the House, rather than be sidetrack ed in a life office paying but $4,500 per year. A numbei of men have already been strongly recommended for the Chief Justiceship, among the latest being C. Larue Munson, of Pennsyl vania, one of the lecturers in Yale College, who is generally indorsed by the bar of his own State. But the belief is tnat a Southern man will receive the appointment, in view of the fact that the other four members of the Court of Claims are I from the North. This places Secre tary Herbert well in the lead, so far as speculation is concerned. the affected area is smaller than ex ! peeled, butinclu ks half the popula tion. The ico;,!e rvc now eatiiv autumn millets. The distress will Lc'in aoout the mid lie of Decern! sr. ' Continuing, the Viceroy savs that the revenue paving r'ce crops have largely failed; t'hit about a tnird cf the ?-tumn taxation wiU be suspend ed ; 18 lakhs of rupees will be ad-: vanrcl lor seed-, ami temporary wells, and that excellent enect is expected from these relief measures. In spite of this, however, the Viceroy admits that li .tress is feared. The general prospects in Ben3al are very gloomy. If there is no rain in November the distress may be seri ous at Patna and Bhaialnur. The fears, however, are supposed to be exaggerated. Relief is likely to be wanted everywhere in Berar. Distress is also expected in Hyderabad, Ehurt- pur, Dholpnr, JaiFalmcre, Bikanir, ' Tonk, Gwalior and parts of Bagkelk- ; hand and Bundelkand. j The price of wheat in the Punjaub is from 8 to 10 seers per rupee. In ' the northeast and central provinces from 8 to 9J seers per rupee. In Bom-' bay from 10 to 12 seers per rupee.1 A few small riots have been reported, j mostly owing to the export of wheat ' naming tne eriect ot raising prices. The troops have twice been called out, once unnecessarily. Several thousand tons of Californian wheat have reached Calcutta and 30,000 tons are believed to have been bought for home, but the home prices are said to be rising. When the news ol this ;mport reached Jubbulpur the price fell from 8J to 10 seers per rupee. There are 53.S30 persons now employed in reliet work. The Indian seer is equal to 2.059 pounds avoir dupois. The Indian rupee is worth about 45 cents. Sir Richard Temple, who has had experience in Indian affairs since 1846; who was at one time secretary to S:r John Lawrence, Finance Minister of India from 1S6S to 1S74. and who was then appointed to super intend the relief operatior.3 in the famine stricken distiicts of Bengal, after which he served as Governor of Bombay, has been interviewed on the threatened India famine. Sir Richard alluded to the import of California wheat as a unique factor in the situa tion. He said : 'It appears that this wheat can be landed at Calcutta an 1 sold at from eight to nine seers per rupee. Such a possibility was never dreamed of in my time. If this be true, it will suffice to fill the shortage in the In dian supply. Certainly American wheat sold in India at that price will suffice for the d:stressed districts. I do not see the need for the govern ment to intervene in this matter. If the thirg can be done, traders will d.) it better unaided. I t'.iink that this is a vital matter and the government should imme liately vtrify'it if this tc ! possible, and if so they should not j intervene. j "If the American supply failed, then i i ilo not think there is sufncient wheat in India to meet the scarcity, a..J tie government might have to buy fm JOHN R, TQWKSE.HD 8 upj.-hes wherever favorable tunity offered." oppor INDIA ON THE VEEGE OF FAMINE.

Frederick Temple, bishop of London, has been appoint ed archbishop of Canterbrry and primate of all England in succession to the late Most Rev. Edward White Benson. Frederick Temple, D. D., is the son of an officer in the army, and was born Nov. 30, 1821. He gradu ated at Oxford, ami was afteiwa'd Eampton lecturer at that insti.ution. Dr. Temple, then chaplain to tlie queen, gained some notoriety in 1890 as the author of the first of the seven "Essays and Reviews.'
