FORTY-TWO STATES
On Election Day Both Parties
Claim Victory. 3
PRESIDENT SETS A GOOD EXAMPLE
Reports Frera All Feluts Indieate
That Republicans Will Have Work-
ing Majority — Democratic
Gains In Many Sintes.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The cam.
paign In forty-two states for the elec
tion of the sixtieth congress has passed
Into history. Besides the congressional
balloting, twenty-three states will to-
day elect governors, Arizona and New
Mexico will accept or reject a jointure
in statehood, Oklahoma and the Indian
Territory will adopt a state constitution
and twenty states will choose legisla-
tures which in turn will elect United
States senators.
The United States weather bureau
secs falr weather for election day.
President Roosevelt, who yearly sets
the example of good citizenship by go-
ing from Washington to Oyster Bay
JOHN B, MORAN
to cast Lis vote, left the White House
oh this pligrimage at midnight. He
will return today, and arrangements
bave been made as usual to keep him
posted at the White House of the elec
tion returns. Thursday he leaves for
a trip to Panama.
The president's cabinet is still in the
field, Most of the cabinet officers Lave
dope strenuous campaign work.
Although reports from the various
states indicate that as a resuft of the
election an ample working majority
of Republicans will be returned to con-
gress, there are varring Indications as
to the colitests for state offices. It Is
believed that in Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, Ollo apd Massachusetts, for
example, there will be Democratic
gains. In Iowa, Indiana, Nebraskan
and California, where there is an Inde
pendence league ticket in the field, the
Republicans, on the other hand, expect
to win by increased majorities. Much
doubt exists In several of the other
states, notably New Jersey, New York
and Massachusetts,
Elections will be held in forty-two
states and three territories, Twenty-
three of these are to elect governors
and full state tickets. The terms of
thirty United States senators expire in
March, and the legislatures chosen to
day will fill most of the vacancles.
The Democrats have tickets In every
state and territory and the Republicans
In all except Florida and South Caro
lina.
In only one state |s there actual fu
sion. That Is Nebraska, where the Pop-
ulists and Democrats agreed upon a
common ticket. But minor parties
have In several states allled them:
selves with either Republicans or Dem-
ocrats, as in Pennsylvania, where Leow-
is Emery heads five columns on the
ballot, and In Massachusetts, where
J. B. Moran bas three Indorsements
The Probibitionists have twenty-three
tickets in the fleld, the Socialist Labor
party eight and the Iadependence
league three.
If the Democrats are to wrest con
trol of the next house of representa.
tives from the Republicans they will
bave to win at least fifty-eight new
congress districts and lose none they
now hold. The present house consists
of 250 Republicans and 136 Democrats,
giving the former a majority of 114
Chairman Griggs of the Democratic
congress committee figures out n gain
for his party of sixty-seven, which, If
there are no lostes, would mean a
working majority Few, , however,
share Mr. Griggs’ opinion, and It Is
generally belleved that the next house
will be of the same political complex
fon as the present one,
The situation In New Jersey, it Is
sald, Is likely to develop surprises,
and many of the politicians admit that
they nre unable to make confident pre-
dictions. The chief Interest centers
In the election of representatives to
the state legislature, who will have the
choosing of a United States senator
John F. Dryden, the present Incum
bent, is leading the fight for Repub-
lican control, which for him means

Republicans and the American party,

The Republican managers of Cali
fornia assert that Gillett will be elect.
ed governor by nearly 30,000 plurali-
ty. The Democrats say they will have
8,000 plurality, while the leaders of the
Independence league declare that
Langdon will win, Jhe Democrats
expect to elect three or four congress-
men.
Arkansas will elect seven congreas-
men, and indications are that the sev.
en Democratic nominees Will be elect:
ed by large majorities.
The parting shots of the campaign
In western Pennsylvania were fired at
Pittsburg when Lewis Emery, Jr., the
fusion gubernatorial nominee, made
bis last nddress at Corry, while Ed-
win B. Stuart, the Republican nominee,
was one of the speakers at McKees-
port, where Congressman John Dal
zell Is being vigorously opposed for
re-election. ,
“Edwin 8. Stuart will be elected gov-
enor of Pennsylvania today by at
least 50,000 majority,” said Chairman
Andrews of the Itepublican state com-
mittee.
“Lewis Emery, Jr, will be chosen
governor of this state by the handsome
majority of 100,000,” sald Chairman
Nines of the Lincoln state committee.
Both leading parties in Nebraska
held rallles at various places last
night, the most important being that
at Plattsmouth, where William J. Bry:
an spoke fu behalf of the fusion tick-
et (Democrat and Populist.)
Republican State Chairman William
B. Rose sald, “Nebraska will elect the
entire Republican state ticket, will
send a gol working majority of Re-
publicans In both houses to the legis.
lature and will send a Republican
congressman to Washington from
each district.”
Chairman Thomas 8S. Allen of the
Democratic state committee sald: “The
Democratic state ticket will be elect
ed. We will also elect a wiajority of
the legislature and four out of the six
congressmen.”
On the eve of the election the indica.
tions are still that the Democrats will
carry all of the districts ln Virginia
except the Ninth and that there they
have a fighting chance to win.
Democratic Chairman Garber clalns
a plurality of 19.000 for his ticket In
Obhlo, with gains lu congressmen, while
Senator Dick, chairman of the Repub.
lican committee, maintains that his
party will uot only retain all its con
gressmen, but will also keep the Demo-
cratic districts won two years ago.

publicans confident of their normal ma-

IN METEOR SHOWER
Steamer St. Andrew In Dire
Peril at Sea.
HUGE MASSES OF METAL RAIS DOWY
——
“Had Falling Stars Happened to
Have Hit the Vessel,” Said Captain
Fitagerald, “Every Soul Would
Have Been Destroyed.”
NEW YORK, Nov, 6.—~When the Phe
nix line steamship St. Andrew arrived
from Antwerp Captain Fitzgerald re
ported tit the steamer had passed
through a rueteoric shower at 4:30
o'clock on Tuesday about 000 miles
northeast of Cape Race. The largest
meteor observed fell Into the sea less
than a mile away. Had It struck the
8t. Andrew all bands would have per-
ished.
“On Tuesday afternoon.” sald Chief
Officer V. E. Spencer, who was on the
bridge when the meteors appeared,
“the weather was clear and bright, al-
though there was little sunshine. Just
after one bell, 4:30 o'clock, | saw three
meteors fall into the water dead ahead
of the ship one after another at a dis-
tance of about five miles. Although it
was daylight, they left a red streak in
the air from zenith to the horizon.
“Simultaneously the third engineer
shouted to me. I then saw a huge me-
teor on the port beam falling lu a zig-
zag manner less than a mile away to
the southward.
“We could distinctly bear the hissing
of the water as It touched. It fell with
A rocking motion, leaving a broad red
streak in its wake. The meteor must
have weighed several tons and appear
el to be from ten to fifteen feet In
diameter. It was saucer shaped, which
probably accounted for the peculiar
rocking motion.
“When the mass of metal struck the
water the spray and steam rose to a
height of at least forty feet and for a
few moments looked like the mouth of
a crater. If It had been night the
meteor would have IHluminated the sea
for fifty or sixty miles. The hissing
sound, lke escaping steam, when It
struck the water was so loud that the
chiet engineer turned out of his berth
and came on deck, thinking the sound
came from the engine room. 1 have
seen meteors all over the world, but
never such a large one as this"
Atked what would have happened if
the meteor tumbled on the St. Andrew,
Mr. Spencer sald:
“The ship would bave been burned
out Immediately and every soul on
board destroyed. 1 have no doubt that
many of the vessels which bave been
lost at sea In apparently floe weather
bave been destroyed by falling me-
teors.”
Red Men Win Land From Whites.
WASHINGTON, Nov.8.—~Thesupreme
court of the United States affirmed the
decision of the court of claims in the
case of Danlel Red Bird, the Cherokee
Nation and others versus the Unifed
States, known as “the white man's

pending claims of 2000 and 3.000
white persons to participate iu the dis-
tribution of the lands and the funds of
the Cherokee Nation bocause of mare
rlages with members of the tribe.
There are over 4,000,000 acres of land,
and the tribal funds are extensive.
The decision was favorable to the In-
