Result of the Elections Barge Canal Law Carried Panama Declares In dependence De Facto Government Recognized. .Congress Convenes. Mr. Cannon Elected Speaker. A Dominican warship stopped Clydo line steamer Cherokee as the latter was nearing Puerto Plata and In formed the captain that he could not enter that port. The Cherokee then pioceeded for Samana and was also prevented from entering that port, the minister of war ordering the captain of the Cherokee to proceed direct to the capital. On the arrival of tho vessel at Sau Domingo the government demandod that tho cargo Intended for Puerto Plata and Samana bo landed at that port. The agent of the company and tho captain of the Cherokee refused to comply with this demand and appealed Xo United States Minister Powell for protection. When the Cherokee was ready ro leave for Azua clearance papers were refused and It was again demanded that she land her cargo at that port. Minister Powell wrote a sharp noto to tho government demanding a permit for the Cherokee to depart. The gov ernment refused to allow a pilot to board the vessel and Minister Powell then Instructed Captain Archibald to take his ship out and proceed for A7.ua, keeping his cargo aboard and landing It at the ports of destination. The energetic action of Minister Powell has caused a great sensation, especially as his proceeding lackod the support of an American warship. The Cherokee left the harbor without a pilot. Results of Tuesday's Elections. Tuesday's elections throughout the United States resulted in Republican victories In Ohio, Massachusetts, Iowa, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Colorado. The Democrats were successful In Rhode Island, Maryland and Kentucky. They cut down Governor Cummin?' plurality In Iowa and gained a sweep ing victory In Greater New York. The Republican plurality In Ohio re ceived by Myron T. Herrick over Torn L. Johnson was 115,000. Pennsylvania gave about 2(15,000 Republican plural ity. The official figures show that Georg3 B. McClellan, Tammany candidate for mayor of New York, received a plural ity of C3.C.17 votes over Mayor Seth Low, the fusion nominee In fact every Tammany candidate in all the five boroughs of Greater New York, except Richmond, was elected, Rich mond giving her vote to Low. William S. Devery, who ran on tho Independent ticket, received but 2,935 votes. The New York state legisla ture will be made up of 95 Republicans and 54 Democrats, a gain of 7 Repub licans over last year. The barge canal proposition to widen and deepen the New York state canals has been carried by a majority of about 240,000. The measure was carried by the enormous majorities In Greater New York and Buffalo, aa against an adverse vote of about 137, 000 through the state. The"propost Hon carries an appropriation of $101, 000,000. Possible Attempt at Repeal. Referring to the possible attempt to repeal the canal resolution in the legislature Gov. Odell said he knew nothing personally of any deslreon the part, of legislators, especially sena tors, to make the canal again an issue In the legislature by an attempt to re peal the law. They might possibly do so, but In view of the great majority for the proposition It would seem un likely that they could accomplish much. The governor's attention was called to the fact that three of the five mem bers of the canal fund commission were from strongly antl-canal coun ties, but said: "These officers were elected by the people of the whole state, not by any Individual county or community. It would be their duty to obey at the earliest possible mo ment the mandates of the law passed by the legislature and endorsed by the people." The general Impression about the capital among state officials and others Is that State Senators Lewis and E. R. Brown and Ambler, prompt ly upon the assembling of the legls .'sture, will institute a crusade for the repeal of the enlargement act. Extra Session of Congress.

On Tuesday tho president's mej jhge was read.

VARILLA TO MORGAN. Envoy Asks Aged Senator to Get li Line For Panama Route. Washington, Nov. 10. M. Phllipp Bunau-Varllla, the envoy of the nen Republic of Panama, has sent a let ter to Senator John T. Morgan o Alabama. It says In part: "As a champion of the completioi of an interoceanic canal across thi American Isthmus, as the ministe: plenipotentiary of the new republic the life of which has sprung from ai explosion of ardent desire of turninj Into reality this dream of centuries I feel myself bound to express to yoi my admiration for the display of In (lomitable will you have shown In th service of this noble conception. "The solution which was the bet ter one 50 years ago, when there wai scarcely any ship drawing more that 17 feet of water, has gradually seer Us superiority vanish and transforn itself into a deep inferiority according to the constant Increase of the drafi and of the length of ships. "Now Mr. Senator, I come to yoi and most respectfully entreat you tc take the high place which is due tc the honored veteran of the nobles' fight that ever took place for the pro gless of the world and the welfare of mankind. "I beg you not to throw away the title which the thankfulness of huma'i ity owes to you, that of the father ol the isthmian canal. I beg you to take the laurels of a victory which is yours by accepting with a generous and Christian mind what the changes lr the necessities of ocean traffic have made inevitable." Senator Morgan admitted that h; had received a letter from M. Bunau Varilla, and said: "The letter was signed by Mr. Varilla, who professed to be the minister plenipotentiary ol the Republic of Panama. The writoi made me a flattering proposal to gel !r. line supporting the new republic but when I take advice, it will come fiom American citizens and not frorr. a Frenchman, who is Interested in the Panama canal." OTHER STATES REVOLT. Colombian Consul at Paris Speaks c Further Disintegration. Paris, Nov. 10. "Beyond makint protest to the governments of Europe and the republics of South America,' said Senor Pasado, the Colombia! ccnsul here, to a correspondent of the press, "I do not believe my govern (nent will take action against the United States; but the republics o! South America may well ask them selves If the. United States will not when her interests demand it, take possession of them or encourage rev olutions in their territory. Any one can see that the independence r.i Panama is but a long step towards American annexation. "Reports are current that the states of Cauca and Antioquia are also ir revolt; but, while Colombia perhaps will not resist separation from Pan am she certainly will oppose by fore of arms the withdrawal of the state of Cauca which comprises almost hall of Colombia, and Antioquia, probably the richest In the confederation. "There is no question in my mine but that the Panama Canal company was responsible for the action of Pan oma, and that M. Philippe Bunau Varilla knew that Its independence would be declared Is shown by the fact that he left here for New York 10 days before the revolution was pro claimed. "There is no doubt now that the canal will be built; but I assure yoi: It would have been constructed wiU: Colombia's consent, though perhapt some further delay might have oo curred."

LORD BALFOUR'S SPEECH. Hopeful That Far Eastern Questior Will Not Have Serious Outcome. London, Nov. 10. Premier Bal four, In his speech at the lord mayor'i banquet, referring to the Far Easterr situation, said there was every reasor to feel sanguine that it would no' have a serious outcome. He baser this assurance on the passionate de Eire of the czar to promote genera peace and the fact that Japan, as th plley of Great Britain, would be cer tain to display moderation, dlscretiot and judgment in its demands as wei it firmness In enforcing them. Mr. Balfour said that the Macedon ian question raised issues more diffl cult and more complicated than eve' those of the Far Eastern because h touched the almost perennial difficulty of the problem of the government o: its European subjects by the sublime porte, but he was convinced that the question must he ultimately settled by the concert of Europe. Referring to Alaska, the premiei said: "The danger arising from th uncertain and disputed frontiers in the case between the British empire and the United States has been decider, for all time. I regret that the decis Ion has not been favorable to the claims of this country, but the twr small islands the loss of which Canada have aroused such great feeling, am realyy valueless from a strataglc and military point of view. We regret the exact tenor of the decision, but how ever the balance of advantage went the gain to the United States or the loss to Canada Is nothing compared with the final removal of this sub ject of dispute between the two great countries. The decision must be loyally accepted, for the removal ol so serious a controversy is an inc itl inable boon." Mr. Balfour spoke of the Franco British treaty as one to promote in ternational peace.
