Electricity is making rapid progress
in the land of the Nile. Not only Cairo
and Alexandria, but almost every city
in the interior Is no\v lighted by elec
tricity. The telephone system of tho
larger cities is being extended, and
electrically propelled boats will soon
ply on the Nile. The system of elec
tric tramways is also being greatly ex
tended.
It is reported that a Hamburg firm
has received an order to equip tho
Chinese emperor's palace at Peking
with electricity. For this purpose a
dynoma with four steam engines ami
1G transformers will be required. Not
only is an order of this kind important
in itself, but the prestige it will give
German industries in that country will
be very considerable.

the wife of a millionaire ordered 2<»o
of these from a local firm and they

name of the guest and hostess being
lettered in gold on one side, the other
being hand-painted. Cards at $5 eacli

The right or otherwise of a shirt
waist man to enter the dining-room
of a hotel is about to be settled in a
Philadelphia court. One hot day last
July De Wolf Norman, a Quaker City
man of social note, entered a dining
room minus coat and waistcoat, but
wearing a neat shirt waist and belt.
He was informed that gentlemen so
attired would not be served there, and
despite his protests he was ejected.
Mr. Norman consulted his lawyer,
who has begun a suit for damages
against the hotel man.
Sorely tried housekeepers in Now
York and vicinity hope great things
from a newly started movement for a
servant's guild whose main object will
be to thoroughly train acceptable girls
for the duties of domestic service.
Mrs. Russell Sage has been especially
prominent In the movement. In her
view the chief trouble in keeping
good servants lies usually with tho
mistresses, who are inclined to be in
considerate slave drivers. The title
of the new organization is to be tho
Women's Domestic guild.

OHIO.
Columbus, Nov. 4.—The democratic
fct.ite committee is giving out no
statements. The republican state
committee at 10:30 p. in., through
Chairman Dick, announced that the
plurality for Derrick over Johnson
for governor would exceed any plu
rality ever given a governor in Ohio
MYRON T. HBTRRICK.
and that the republican majority on
joint ballot in the legislature for the
re-election of Senator llanna wouid
be over 100.
Ohio has exceeded 100,000 plural
ity only twice. In lSG.'i John Brough,
republican, was elected governor by
loi,o'J.S, when his democratic oppon
ent, Clement L. Vallandingham, was
an exile in Canada and the soldiers
were voting outside the state.
The only other time when the plu
rality exceeded 100,000 in Ohio was in
1894 for secretary of state.
The scenes at the city hall where
Chairman Dick, Secretary Malloy and
others received returns last night,
were at times wild as the bulletins
announced the election of republican
members of the legislature from such
close and democratic counties as
Hocking, Vinton, Coshocton, Knox,
Hoss. Paulding, Treble, Muskingum
and Williams.
John M. Clarke, the democratic op
ponent of llanna for senator, but re
cently removed from Youngstown,
Mahoning county, to Cleveland and
when the returns showed that the re
publicans had elected Iv.ch members
of the legislature from Mahoning
county there was a great demonstra
tion, as there was when it was an
nounced that the Johnson-Jones fu
sion at Toledo had failed by the
largest plurality ever known in Lucas
county.
The greatest demonstrations were
over the announcements from Cleve
land that the republicans had carried
Cuyahoga county, the home of llanna,
Clarke, Herriek and Johnson by a de
cisive plurality. It is believed that
the republicans have carried three
fourths of the SS counties in the
state.
The republicans carried Columbus
by the unprecedented plurality of },-
500 and Franklin county by 3,500 for
governor, also electing four republi
can representatives. This senatorial
district, composed of Franklin and
Pickaway counties, and usually demo
cratic, elected two republican sena
tors.
Cleveland, Nov. s. —llerrick carried
Cuyahoga county by 5..">20 plurality.
The republican legislative ticket went
through by pluralities averaging 5,-
600, while the entire republican coun
ty ticket was elected.
Cleveland, Nov. s.—John 11. Clarke,
democratic candidate for United
States senator, gave out the following
statement yesterday concerning the
result of the election: "The result is
surprising only in the increase of
the republican majority. The in
creased majority against the democ
racy I attribute to the fact that the
aggressive campaign waged by Mr.
Johnson, with such aid as I could ren
der, resulted in creating an activity
on the part of the republican organi
zation not equalled in recent years.
This brought out a largely increased
republican vote, while the democrat
vote was not correspondingly in
creased because of factions in south
ern anil western Ohio, which were led
by ambitious and wealthy men within
the party."
Toledo. Xov. 4.—Fifty-four pre
cincts out of 102 in this city give Iler
rick 5.395, Johnson 3.533, indicating a
plurality of 3,100 for Ilerrick in t/ie
county.
Dayton, Xov. 4. —Montgomery coun
ty makes a clean sweep for Myi on T.
Herriek, and the legislative ticket by
about 4,000 majority. The entire re
publican ticket is elected by a major
ity ranging from 2.000 to 4,000.
Lima, Xcv. 4. —Fifteen precincts out
of 37 give Johnson 152 plurality over
Herriek. Owing to the redistrieting
o f the precincts comparison cannot be
•made with previous years.
Akron. Xov. 4.—Seventeen precincts
! n city aud county give Herriek 1,73S
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1903.
and Johnson 1.065. The tickets were
nearly nil straight, indicating a re
publican victory for the entire ticket
by good majorities.
Canton, Nov. 4. —Republicans carry
Canton by about 2,(100. Stark county
by 3,500 to 4,000. All republican can
didates for legislature are elected.
Steubenville, Nov. 4.—Weems, re
publican candidate for congress in
the Sixteenth district, elected by 6,-
000 majority.
Springfield, Nov. 4.—Total vote:

shows a gain of 400 in the city over
the vote last fall.

Piqua, Nov. 4.—Miami county gives
O. K. Harrison, republican candidate
for state senator, a plurality of 2,OSS,
which assures his re-election by prob
ably 100. Estimated vote in Shelby
county is 1,200 and Darke about 800.
derrick carries the city by 504.
Cincinnati, Nov. 5. —The vote com
plete in Hamilton counly for governor
stands: derrick 52,627. Johnson 22,-

two republican candidates —Weidner
for clerk of the common pleas court,
whose plurality is 30,044; and Swing
for judge of the common pleas court,
whose plurality is 30,130.
Complete returns from the city of
Cincinnati give derrick 44,149, John

Findlay, Nov. 4. —It is now safe to
predict the election or the entire re
publican county ticket. There are
still several precincts to be heard
from, but they cannot materially
change results.
Voungstown, Nov. 4.—Youngstown
complete gives derrick 4,375, Johnson
3,209.
. Columbus, Nov. s.—The republican
plurality in Ohio is about 115,000 for
governor and the ma jority in the leg
islature on joint ballot for senator
is 93.
Chairman Dick, of the republican
state committee, secured reports yes
terday from all his 8.8 county commit
tees and last night announced that
derrick, republican, had carried 62
counties and Johnson, democrat, 26,
most of the latter by small and the
former by large pluralities. On a
total vote of less than 900,000, der
rick's pluralities in the counties ag
gregate 135,132 and Johnson's 20,476,
so that derrick lias a net plurality in
the state of 114,706, according to es
timates that may be increased from
1,000 to 2,000 by the official count.
The plurality on the rest of the re
publican state ticket will likely be
from 4.000 to 5.000 less than that for
derrick. The total vote for Johnson
was less than that for any democratic
candidate for governor for years.
On the legislative ticket the demo
crats carried four less counties than
for governor.
Of the senatorial districts, the dem
ocrats carried only the Thirty-second,
Thirty-first, Twenty-eighth and
Seventeenth, The senate stands 29
republicans and four democrats.
The house stands s;i republicans and
21 democrats. '1 lie majority on joint
ballot for the re-election of Senator
Manna will lie 93. These figures will
not be changed by the official returns,
llie counties carried by the demo
crats were all iu the rural districts.
The republicans carried every county
fhat tliey had two years ago except
Sandusky, which is strongly dcnio
! era tie.
Secretary Richardson, of the di«no
eratic state committee, said that tne
result in his opinion was due to the
fear of single lax and two cent fare.
"These two things cost the ticket
thousands of votes all over the state.
The voters were afraid of the two
cent fare proposition and argued that
to reduce the railroad fare would be
to force a reduction in the wages of
the railroad workers."
Columbus, .Nov. 5. —Returns from a
| majority of the precincts in Franklin
county show the election of the entire
j republican ticket, including four mem
bers of the house, with the exception
' of Sims, for sheriff, who is defeated
by Karb, democrat, by 400 to 500. The
republican majorities range from
about 3,000 for Merrick to several
hundred for Wickhain, candidate for
recorder.

NEW YORK.
New York, Nov. 4.—After a remark
able campaign in which there was
united against him nearly all of the
newspapers and practically every
minister of religion in the city,
George I!. McClellan, son of the civil
war general, was yesterday elected
third mayor of Greater New York
over Seth Low, fusionist, the present
mayor.
Col. McClellan, who is at present a
member of congress, made the follow
ing statement:
"I am deeply gratefut to my fellow
citizens for their confidence in me.
1 renew the promises which I made
before election. I have no bitterness
of feeling for any one. 1 shall go at
once to Washington to prepare for
the extraordinary session and as soon
as the question of Cuban reciprocity
is disposed of, I shall turn my atten
tion to the affairs of the city,
"I invite the co-operation of every
citizen whether he supported me or
not and regardless of his political
views in the advancement of the
city's good.
"This victory should encourage
and unite all democrats for the presi
dential contest in 1904."
The victory, great as it is for Mc-
Clellan, is of more significance to Mr.
Murphy, who made up the democratic
ticket and who managed the cam
paign. Defeat would have meant for
him deposition from his post as
leader, with all its powers and op
portunities and the accession to con
trol of another faction. Indeed,
plans had been made by certain inde
pendent democrats, based on the be
lief that Low would be re-elected, to
reorganize the democracy of the city
with Tammany left out. To Mr. Mc-
Carren, also, the result meant much,
for had McClellan lost, McLaughlin
would have again been in control and
McCarren and his friends would have
had little to hope for. The carrying
of Brooklyn for .McClellan caused as
tonishment, as it was believed the cry
of "no red lights in Brooklyn" would
cause an increased vote for Low in
that borough.
The campaign was one of the most
interesting in the history of New
Yotk City. From the day Mayor Low
was renominated his supporters
urged his re-election on the ground
tha no partisan question was involved,
but that every man should vote to up
hold the existing administration be
cause it had given the city a business
like conduct of affairs and because it
had done much to stamp out the "red
light" evil of the East Side. It was
argued by fusionist orators that the
return of Tammany men to office
would mean a "wide open town," un
restricted in lawlessness and the re
newed terrors of the infamous "cadet
system" by which ignorant girls were
forced into lives of shame.
Mr. McClellan was attacked by the
speakers for the fusionists because,
they alleged, he had sold the name
his father honored to cloak the de
signs of evil men. To these state
ments the democrats responded with
the charge that Low's non-partisan
claims masked an attempt to secure
control of the city in the interest of
Gov. Odell; that all of the credit for
the good business administration un
der Low belonged to Grout, who was
on the democratic ticket, and that
every democrat should cast his ballot
for McClellan in view of the import
ant bearing this city's vote would
have t»n the presidential election next
year. Both candidates made nightly
speeches.
Low's principal supporting orator
was District Attorney Jerome, who
bitterly opposed the mayor's reuom
ination on the ground that he was
unpopular, but who after the nomi
nating convention made frequent
speeches for the fusion ticket.
For McClellan Bourke Cockran re
turned to political activity and made
several speeches.
Returns from the assembly districts
up-state indicate a few gains by the
republicans, the returns showing four
assemblymen in districts formerly
represented by democrats. From
many of the up-state assembly dis
tricts, however, no reports had been
received. In New York county the re
publicans had gained tine assembly
man, seven districts being unreport
ed. The republicans gained a state
senator in the Twenty-third district,
where a republican succeeds Charles
McClelland, democrat, who resigned
to accept a federal appointment. The
senate holds over and is a strongly re
publican.
The republicans elect their' entire
city and county ticket at I'uffalo, N.
Y. No election for mayor this year.
At liinghamton, mayor and entire
republican ticket elected.
Democrats carry Auburn, except for
a few minor offices.
At Utica, mayor and whole demo
cratic city ticket elected.
At Oswego the democrats elect the
mayor and a majority of the alder
men.
Schenectady elects a democratic
mayor.
Rochester, Nov. 4.—The republicans
elect Cutler, for mayor.
Albany, Nov. 4.—Charles 11. Gans, re
publican, was re-elected mayor of Al
bany by a plurality considerably
larger than that of two years ago,
defeating Col. William Gorham Rice,
formerly United States civil service
commissioner under President Cleve
land. The campaign was one of the
hottest in recent years, being con
ducted on exclusively local lines. The
entire republican city ticket is elect
ed.
Syracuse, Nov. 4.—Alan C. Forbes
(republican) elected mayor of Syra
cuse by about 1,400. Forbes defeated
Thomas, democrat. The entire repub-1
lican ticket, city and county, includ- j
ing four members of assembly, is 1
elected.
Eliuira, Nov. 4. W. T. Coleman, re
publican, defeated Mayor Sheehan,
democrat. Entire republican county
ticket elected.
New York, Nov. 5. —George li. Mc-j
ClellaM, democrat, will Vie the next!
mayt r of Greater New York, having!
defeated Mayor Low for re-election j
by a plurality of 63,617, complete un-1
otlicial returns having been received
from every election district in the I
city. By the snine returns Comp
troller Edward M. (Irout and Charles
I V. Fumes, president of the board of
| aldermen, running for re-election on
j the democratic ticket, though elected
I two years ago as fusionists, defeated
their fusion opponents l>y 66,7 I JO and
| 04,973 plurality respectively, Grout
leading the city ticket.
The sweeping democratic victory
was accomplished for the democratic
city and borough tickets in four of
the five boroughs of the municipality,
only Richmond borough, (Staten
Island) giving Low a plurality and
electing fusion borough officers.
William S. Devery, indpendent can
didate for mayor, polled only 2,935
votes in the entire city.
New York .state gave a majority of
nearly 250,000 in favor of the proposi
tion that the state shall spend slOl,-
000,000 for improving its canals. The
plan is to widen and deepen the Erie
canal .so that it will accommodate
barges of 1,000 tons carrying capacity,
and to improve the Oswego and Chaw
plaiu canals.
NEW JERSEY.
Trenton, Nov. 5. —Revised returns
from New Jersey show that the re
publicans carried Middlesex county
for both senator and assemblymen.
This will make the senate stand 14
republicans to seven democrats, the
same as last year's representation.
The gain of three assemblymen by
the democrats in I'nion county is off
set by losses in other counties. The
representation in the house next year
will be the same as last year—3B re
publicans and 22 democrats.
VIRGINIA.
Richmond, Nov. 4. —The elections in
Virginia, which was for members of
the assembly, have resulted in a dem
ocratic sweep of the state. Theie
were few contests, the field as a rule
being left open to the democrats.
Two surprises appeared, however, in
the defeat of the democratic nomi
ness in Botetourt and Fredericks
burg. The vote generally was light,
being in Richmond city, for example,
only about 25 per cent, of the regis
tration. A fierce fight between demo
crats, one with and the other without
the endorsement of the state commit
tee for the treasurership of Henrico
county, was a feature of the election
and led to a heavy vote in that coun
ty. The indications favor the election
of the man without the endorsement.
KENTUCKY.
Louisville, Nov. 5. —Returns v\hieh
are complete save for a few scattered
precincts in remote parts of the
state, give John C. \V. Beckham, dem
ocrat, for governor, a majority of 30,-
408 over Morris 15. lielknap, his repub
lican opponent. The missing pre
cincts are both republican and demo
cratic strongholds, yet the assertion
seems warranted that the governor's
final and official ma jority will be no*
less than 25,000. This is the largest
majority given a democrat guberna
torial candidate in 15 years.
Returns from the mountainous
country comprising the Eleventh dis- j
triet give Belknap a majority of 15,-
353, with two or three precincts to be
heard from. This indicates a falling,
oft in the republican vote, as this dis- i
triet usually returns about 20,000 ma- j
jority for that party. The republi
cans are preparing charges of fraud (
alleged to have been perpetrated in
Louisville, which they will present to
the grand jury in a few days.
NEBRASKA.
Omaha, Nov. s.—Returns show that
Barnes (republican) for supreme j
judge will have a majority of at least]
8,000 over Judge Sullivan. The repub-!
lican candidates for state university !
regents, Allen and Whitmore, are also
elected by a good majority.
PENNSYLVANIA.
Philadelphia, Nov. 4. —United States
Senator Penrose, chairman of the re
publican state committee, said last
night that owing to the fine weather
conditions the vote throughout the
state was extremely light. This is
especially true of the farming dis
tricts, where only 50 per cent, of the
normal vote was polled. Senator j
Penrose said the democrats had suf
fered even more than the republicans
and the republican majority would be
as large as usual. In the counties
where interest was aroused by the
judicial contests the full vote was
polled.
County Chairman Chase, of Clear
field, wired the state chairman that
Judge Gordon had won over Allison
(). Smith, his democratic opponent,
and that the vote was the largest in
the history of the county.
All the candidates on the republi
can city ticket in Philadelphia were
elected yesterday by the usually large
republican plurality. Although the
vote polled was not henvy, the official
figures will show a plurality for the
several candidates of probably more
than 100,000.
This city complete gives Matliieus,
republican, for state treasurer 163,-
310; Ilill, democrat 26,767; Patton,
prohibitionist, 1,154; Smith, socialist
2,705; republican plurality 136,540.
Reuben O. Moon, republican, was
elected to congress from the Fourth
district, to till the vacancy caused by
the death of Robert 11. Foerderer, re
publican. The candidates on the re
publican state ticket for state treas
urer, auditor general and two judges
of the superior court carried the city
by pluralities as large as that given
the local candidates.
The election was one of the quiet
est held here in years. There were
no factional differences in the repub
lican ranks, but the democrats were
divided, the bolting faction styling
itself "The independence party." The
vote of the independence party was
not large.
Philadelphia, Nov. s.—Latest esti
mates from the country districts in
dicate that the republican state
ticket will have majorities ranging
from 325,000 to 230,000. William I'.
Snyder, for auditor general, has run
slightly behind William L. Mathues j
for state treasurer, while Morrison
and Henderson, who were chosen su- j
perior court judges, polled a vote al
most equal to that of Mathues.
Pittsburg, Nov. s.—Allegheny coun
ty with lo districts to hear from
gives Mathues. republican, for state
treasurer 71,650; lliii, democrat, 20,-
40S. The balance of the state ticket
will run closely with the leaders.
The county fight between the re
publicans and the citizens' (republi
can-democrat fusion) was hotly con-1
I tested. Tlie citizens were again suc
cessful in tlie cities, but by greatly re-
I duced majorities. The country dis
jtricts, however, voted tlie republican
i ticket heavily and the republicans
' elect tbeir county ticket by majorities
ranging between 1,000 anil 1,500.
MASSACHUSETTS.
Boston, Nov. 4. —Although some
■ what pushed by the exertions of their
| opponents, the republicans in this
state yesterday re-elected Gov. John
j L. Hates by practically the same plu
rality as last year. The rest of the
state ticket was also elected.
The early returns showed that Gov.
Bates had made slight gains in the
small towns and cities, but this was
overcome by the democrats, who poll
ed up a big vote in Boston for Col.
William A. Gaston, the democratic
candidate for governor.
I he hard work of the party mana
gers in this city resulted in increasing
Col. Gaston's plurality of 13,000 last
year to 18,929 this year.
With returns complete from every
town and city in the state, the total
vote for governor was: Bates, repub
lican, 199,308; Gaston, democrat, 103,-
541.
In addition to electing their state
ticket and holding the legislature, the
republicans were also successful in
retaining control of the governor's
council, which will be composed of
seven republicans and one democrat.
The socialist vote showed a falling
ofT from last year and that party also
| lost a representative from one of the
Plymouth county districts, so that the
party will have but two members in
the coming legislature.
MARYLAND.
Baltimore, Nov. 5. —At midnight this
returns of Tuesday's election received
from Baltimore city and the state of
Maryland had not all been received.
Two missing precincts in the city had
been counted by the election judges,
but owing to the long vigil of the
clerical force in the office of the su
pervisors of election it was decided to
close the office. The figures of the
missing precincts are promised tomor
row. They will not materially change
the result. In Baltimore city the en
tire democratic state ticket was elect
ed by about 5,000 plurality.
The returns from all the counties
• of the state have not been received,
I but enough reports are on hand to
assure an overwhelming democratic
majority on joint ballot in the gen
eral assembly, which elects a succes
sor to United States Senator Mo
, Comas.
RHODE ISLAND.
| Providence, Nov. s.—Complete re
! turns from the 152 districts of the
j state re-elect Gov. L. F. C. Garvin by
j 1,5<57 plurality, a decrease of 6,151
] votes.
i The senate, including Lieut. Gov.-
i Elect Utter, will stand 28 to 11 in
favor of the republicans, while the
. lower bouse will consist of 39 repub-
