Re-Kleeted In New York Ohio Republican.
Tho flnnl returns do not seriously
alter the figures In the general re
sult. The Republican majority In
Congress 'Will be at leant 22, and may
reach 25, compared with 41 In the
present house. The Republican
gained In Illinois and Nebraska and
added one congressman earn In Kan
sas and Virginia. The Democrats
gained In California, Kentucky, Mary
land, New York and Missouri and ad
ded one each In Iowa and Kensas. It
Is significant that In the Middle West,
where the sentiment for tariff re
vision was considered , a possible
danger, the Republicans lost but one
Representative, and that In Iowa,
where the party was most outspoken
In Its platform. Pennsylvania re
turns 28 Republicans and 4 Demo
crats, as against 27 Republicans and
8 Democrats now.
On the State contests California Is
believed to have been retained by the

land. In New York Odell's plurality
Is about 10,000. Tom Johnson saved
Cleveland from the wreck and la out

control of the Ohio Democracy in
the next national convention.
One of the most curious results Is
In Delaware, where the Republicans
have won the Legislature, but And
themselves in the same position as
before. Addicks still controls enough
members to prevent the election of
anyone to the Senate. The net re
sult of his Influence has been to give
the Democrats a Congressman.
A significant feature of the general
election returns Is the way In which
the western states lost to the Repub
lican party on the silver Issue are
Changing. The Dakotas, Wyoming,
Montana, Utah, Washington, Nebras
ka, and Colorado have ranged them
selves In the Republican column
again .
Returns from forty-two ntatos show
that the next congress will have a Re
publican majority. The membership
of the house is 380. Tho next con

NEW YORK.
Odell Was Re-Elected by a Plurality
of 12,887.
By the revised figures Governor
Odoll, of New York, has a plurality
of 12.887. President Rooseeit has
sent him this message: "From what
we hear now, I think I can safely con
gratulate you and the party, which I
do with all my heart." Senator Piatt
said: "We have to be satisfied.
Odell's plurality is not nearly as large
as I had expected." Mr. Piatt cald
that the trust question and the coul
strike had nothing to do with the re
sult. "The Democrats got togotner,"
ho said, "and held together, and a
few Republicans slipped over to
them." At the Democratic headquar
ters Bird S. Color said: "I think it
would be a good thing to watch the
official count up the state closely.
Suppose the Democratic ticket bad
received In the neighborhood of 150,
000 majority In Greater New York,
there was nothing to bave stopped
the Republicans, from claim lug the
upper section of the state by at least
200,000. I don't mean that I concede
the election of my opponent I want
to wait for the official count, for iny
Intest advices are that . the vcte la
very close." John A. Mason, secre
tary of the Democratic state commit
tee, said: "We concede nothlni?.
Odell's election Is simply a claim.
Wo will not admit his election until
every defective ballot or alleged de
fective ballot has been scrutinized,
and every vwte that by right belong
to-our party Is counted. The alleged
defective ballots uncounted for th
Democratic ticket by Republican In
spectors are more than enough to
elect Color. We have evidence of
wholosnlo dobaiichety nnd corruption
in Orange, OneMa, Albany and Erie
counties, and In the cities along Hit
line of the New York Central rail
road. The defective ballots and the
chicanery practiced In the judicial
districts where the Republican state
machine bent every energy to elect
Attorney General Davles are alone
sufficient to change the result. We
shall contest every foot of ground."
GOV. BENJAMIN B. ODELL,
Re-Elected In New York.
Colonel Dunn, chairman of the Re
publican state committee, when In
formed of the report that the Demo-
crate threatened to contest the elec
tion, said: "If they start anything
of that kind we will give them all lli
contest they want right here In New
York city, and they will wish they
had never heard of contests." Gov
ernor Odoll telephoned tho following
from New burg concerning the state
ment of Secretary Mason, of the Don'
ocratlc state committee: "Let them
rlaim all they please. Let them ciy
fraud. I am elected and that Is all
there Is about It."
The New York delegation In con
gress will consist of 20 Republicans
and 17 Democrats. The present dele
gation Is 22 Republicans and 12 Dem
ocrats. In the newly formed Thir
teenth district, which was supposed
to be Republican by from 5,000 to
7,000. Francis Burton Harrison, Demo
crat was electod. William Randolph
Hearst was elected from the Eleventh
district. Others elected to the Na
tional house from New York county
are Timothy D. Sullivan, Tammany,
and Henry M. Gold f ogle, Tammany,
who beat Charles Adler, formerly Re
publican assemblyman from the
Eighth district. This district was
carried for assemblyman by tho Dem
ocrats, their candidate, Isidor Cohn,
having a Mir plurality. The Deni'v
crats won four assembly districts In
New York county.
The town of OyBter Bay, President
Koosevelt's township, complete, gives
Odell 1.526: Coler, 1,657. In 191)0 thn
town gavo Odell 2.041, and Stanch
field 1.529. President Roosevelt's own

WEST VIRGINIA.
Vote Light Constitutional Amend
ments Ignored by Voters.
The voto In WoBt Virginia was
light, not more than 75 or 80 per cent
being cast. Returns coming in very
slowly, and at midnight the result In
but one district was known certainly.
Meager returns Indicate general Re
publican losses, compared with thu
vote of 1900. In redlstrlcting th'j
state for congress, all present dis
tricts were Republican in l'JOO, but
two were Democratic is 1808. Demo
crats concede the election of Dovener,
Republican, in tho First district, but
claim all others to be In doubt. Dov
ener's majority will be largely re
duced. In the Second district, John
T. McGraw, Democrat, who was de
feated by Dayton, In 1898, has proba
bly wiped out the majority of 1,856
given for Dayton, Republican, In 1900,
and appears to be elected by a small
plurality. He carried his own county
of Taylor, which has been normally
Republican by 500, by about 200 ma
jority, and the gains in Monongahela,
Berkeley and Mineral are sufficient 'to
justify the claim of his election, which
is not conceded by the Republicans.
Republican factional fights In several
counties cut down the Republican ma
jorities. The Third district is in
doubt, claimed by both Miller, Demo
crat, and Gaines, Republican. Miller
gains heavily In the coal regions
along the Chesapeake & Ohio rail
road, but will have to overcome a ma
jority of 6,000. The result will be
very close In the Fourth, but Indi
cation point to the election of Wood
yard, Republican. In the Fifth the re
sult may not be deflnitoly known un
til late to morrow. Johnson haa made
substantial gains In the Interior coun
ties that have been beard from, but
the Republicans confidently claim the
election of Hughes by from 15,000 to
20,000 majority. Five constitutional
amendments were voted upon, but all
but 5 to 10 per cent of the voters
ignored them entirely. The olectlon
of J. L. Foreman, Republican, to tho
state senate from the Fourteenth dis
trict, la conceded. His majority will
be nearly 4,000. The district Is com
posed of Preston, Mineral, Grant,
Hardy and Tucker counties. Taylor
county gives Dayton (R.) over Mc
Graw (D.) for congress less than 100
majority. Grafton City gave McGraw
a majority of 143. The entire Repub
lican ticket is elected In the county.
On the basis of returns received
Dayton, Rep., will cany Monongalia
eountly by 1,300 majority. Charles W.

A young woman of Stonnlngton, six
teen years old, who is one of the uost
expert swimmers of that town, had
an unusual experience on Monday af
ternoon while swimming In tho waters
of the upper harbor. She was paddling
calmly along and bad reached the deep
waters of the channel vhlch leaJa
from the railroad bridges to the high
way bridge at Quosaduc, when she
was startled to see a snake two feet
ia length gliding along the surface
close by her.
The young woman's friends on shore
were also startled about the same time
to hear her utter a cry of
fright They imagined all
sorts of things, but long be
fore they found out what the matter
was the snake had disappeared, and
the startled young woman bad recov
ered from her momentary terror.
The reptile was no water snake, but
a genuine land wriggler of the familiar
green and yellow type, with black
spots. What be was doing so far from
'dry earth is a mystery. He paid no at.
tentlon to the swimming maiden, but
kept quietly on bis course, which lay
at right angles to hers, and passed di
rectly in front of ber. This is the first
time that a land snake is known to
have crossed the upper har
bor channel. Future swimmers are
xpected to keep a close watch for the .
amphibious reptile on bis return trip
r bis future marine excursions. New
