TRIUMPH
Pennsylvania Rolls Up the Usual
Handsome Majorities.
BARNETT'S PLURALITY, 120,000
Ohio Goes for Nash and the Republican Na
tional Administration by from 30,000 to
40,000 Kentucky Carried by the Re
publicans After a Desperate Fight, Which
Required the Presence of the Militia at
the Polls to Insure a Fair Count Mary
land and Nebraska Go Democratic.
Other Returns Show the Usual Off Year
Majorities.
Election returns from the various states at hour of going
to press indicated as follows :
PENNSYLVANIA Barnett and state ticket elected by 120,
000 majority.
OHIO Judge Nash, Rep., elected governor by 40,000 plu
rality. KENTUCKY Returns indicate the election of Taylor, Rep.,
and the entire Republican ticket by 10,000 to 15,000.
MARYLAND Democratic by 10,000 to 15,000.
NEBRASKA Carried by the Fusionists by 5,000 to 10,000.
In Ohio the vote for Jones, Independent, exceeded
expectations in all the strong labor centers. It drew
heavily from the Republicans in the cities and was
fed by the systematic treachery of the Kurtz-Bushnell fac
tion. Notwithstanding this heavy handicap, the worst ever
encountered by a majority party in any state, Nash and the
McKinley administration h .ve won a handsome indorsement,
receiving an estimated plurality of from 30,000 to 40,000.
In Kentucky the militia had to be called out by the gov
ernor in order to secure the presence of Republican and
Independent Democratic inspectors at the counting of the
ballots, as provided by law. In consequence of this vigilance,
the contemplated perpetration of frauds by the Gobelites was
largely checked and the returns point to Taylor's election by
from 10,000 to 1 j.ooo. The entire Republican state ticket is
elected.
In Nebraska the Fusionists gained by reason of the
light Republican vote and claim the state by 10,000 majority.
In Maryland the Democrats win everything in sight, in
cluding control of the legislature, bmith, Dem., for governor,
has from 10,000 to ij.ooo plurality, due largely to the po
litical treachery of Senator Wellington.

Including a majority of the legislature.
Chairman Dick had, prevl. ua to tho
election, lnpeatedly claimed the cita
tion of the entire Republican Hinte
ticket by not less than S0.O0O plurality.
So far tonight he has refused to give
out any figures, but those uround him
say that means that he now has no
1 reason to chango his first figures. The
! later returns seem to be growing in
i favor of the Republicans, especially
since the returns Indicate that Jones
hurt tho Democrats much rnoro than
tho Republicans in Cleveland, Toimlo
and Columbus and other cities, whUo
tho first reports Indicated exactly tho
opposite. Judge Nash, Republican
candidate, was receiving tho congiatu

At 11.20 C halrman Dick gave out tha
following: "Tho returns from Hamil

REGARDING OPEN

RUSSIA AND GERMANY ARE FA
VORABLE TO THE IDEA.
Count Casslnl States That the Rus

Washington, Nov. 7. Count Casslnl,
the Russian ambassador, who Is Just
back from a visit to St. Petersburg
and other European capitals, author
ized the statement today that he had
returned without any special Instruc
tions relating to China and without any
mission to perform in that connection.
This statement w-as due to recent re
ports that ho Intended to make known
to the president and Secretary liny the
desire of tho continental powers of Eu
rope that the United States should In
dicate what port or sphere of Influence
In China this government desires to
enter. Tho ambassador also stated tint
Russia's commercial port In China,
Tallen Wan, was now open to all ua-
tlons alike, nnd he expressed surprise
at the renewed agitation of the open

COLUMBIA SHUT OUT.
Cornell Victorious by a Score of
29 to O.
New York, Nov. 7. Columbia was a
pronounced favorite In the foot ball
game with Cornell here today, odds
of fi to 4 being laid on the Blue and
White, but the wearers of the Red and
White had plenty of backing and tho
Ithacan rooters got all the cash, as
well as all tho glory. Cornell won,
shutting out the Columbia team by a
score of 29 to 0. Fully 33,000 poisons
witnessed the contest. Of thes-1, 12.0CH
parsed through the several ontranciS
r.nd crowded the stands and bleacher.?,
j Tho remainder were deadheads pocked
' on the big viaduct nnd along tho new
' road on the heights to the westward.
1 When Cornell scoied tho first touch
down and kicked a goal tho Ithacan
sympathizers broke loose and tho wav
ing mnss of red and white flags and
ribbon extended over some forty acres
of Northern Gotham.
Columbia was very much put out
by losing the services of Wright ut
rlcht guard, who was disqualified "or
slugging. A few minutes later Cap
tain Wilson was forced to retl-v and
soon afterwards Cornell scored, Wal-bildc-e
running nnd dodging for forty
yards through Columbia's players mid
planting the ball behind the lino.
The second half was full of good
pliys and hard work, in w.i'ch Colum
umbla was at times unfortunate. Cor
nell was always the stronger and with
two more touchdowns and subsequent
goels, In addition to, a place kick by
Young, twentv-three points were ndd
ed to Cornell's score. At the end ot
the same Columbia had failed to tally
a point nnd the contest ended In Cor
nell's favor with a total of 20 points
to 0.
