TAFF AND SHERMAN VICTORS Republicans Sweep the Entire Nation Like An Avalanche ML BRYAN MEETS DEFEAT From Tuesday'! Elec tion Indicate That the Republican CtoMite Eu Carried the Country Iflr a Laift Majority, Although l&ryan Baa Ahead of Parker's Vote Unr Tan Ago. Mew York, Special.—General elec tion ntms from throughout the United Slates received up to an early W>nr Wednesday morning show the fallowing results: William H. Taft, of Ohio, has been «leeted President with*2oß votes se cure and 13 doubtful. Practically no change is indicated fn the complexion of the National House of Representatives. The United States will retain its present Republican majority. Governor Charles E. Hughes has been re-elected in New York State by about 76,000 plurality. Indiana baa gone for Taft by from 15.000 to IS.OOO plurality. Hrvan apparently has carried Ne braska, although the Republicans at ill rlnim the State. Ohio returns have been seriously delnved owing to tbe immense size •®f the ballot, but Taft lias carried ihfi State bv a majority ranging from 350.000 to 75,000. Taft carried New York City by ■»bout 11,000 plurality, this being the first time the city has given its vote to n Republican presidential eandi datn since 189(1, when Mr. MeKinley fiad a small plurality. Mr. Taft received a greater plural ity in New York State than Presi dent Roosevelt did four years ago, tho indications pointing to 202,000 for Mr. Taft, as against 175,000 lor Mr. Roosevelt. H'spen. the Independence party candidate for President, received abenf. votes in Greater New- York. The indications nre that Democratic fpovernrtrs have been elected in sever al of the Middle Western States that bave given their presidential vote to TVlt. Mr. Taft has exceeded Mr. Roose ▼elt's plnrality in New Jersey and in Massachusetts, as well as in New York. The Fep»hlicnn pluralities fell off Wav'!v in *he Middle West in a man ner 'horoncblv surprising to the Re publican managers. Knrnkrr Camion bas been re-elected t»v bis tisnn) mnioritv. Favne, of New 'York, and Pnlzell, of Pennsylvania, tiave been re-elected and the House of Representatives probnblv will con tinue its old reirime.

The first return* received came frnrn scattering districts iu Mnssn «Ji«r;elfs. The heavy pluralities indi- ■rated there for Mr. Taft seemed at | once to dissipate nny probability of a ! "landslide" for Mr. Rrvan. as many j Democrats had claimed and the Re-1 gmhlirnn mnragei-K at once began to |Jut out claims of victory. Returns from the np-couutrv dis trict* of New York State, where vot ing Traehine* are lnrgelv used, were tfbr next to arrive. It had been pre 'd for days tbat Erie county i rw-. I 'rhjdincr the heavy vote of Buffalo | might be taken as an index to the ] throughout the country. This ! rpwn'ed 'o he the ease so far as the •■tional ticket was concerned, Mr. | Vnfi having a plurality of something ■Bore tbrn 4.000 votes. Krie eoun surprisinglv, however, gave Lieu tenant Governor C,'hauler a pluralitv of more tb"n 3,000. The opponents of Governor Hucrhes were quick to claim M victory, but returns from the other l*>rge coun'ies and cities soon chanr"d the oompb>xion of tlie tefums completely. The vote in Telegraphic Briefs. The interview with Emperor Wil liam prinjted by the London Tele fnaph has caused much irritation in Orcat Britain and Germany .

Illinois which pave Roosevelt 305,000 in 1904 has gone for Taft by about 170,000. The highest claim of the Republicans for Indiana is 16,000 as against approximately 93,000. lowa, which gave Mr! Roosevelt 158,000 plurality in 1904, has dropped down Greater New York for Mr. Cbanler was deeply disappointing to his friends, while the heavy vote for Taft, especially in the borough of Brooklyn, completely eclipsed the most sanguine hopes of the Repub licans. Governor Hughes was cut heavily up the State, but not so deep ly as to imperil his election, once the drift in his favor "below the Bronx" had begun to make itself felt. Some of the figures relating to the Republican slump in States regarded as certainly Republican are little short of amazing. Pennsylvania's immense plurality of over 500 000 HON. WILLIAM ] or o, to about 40,000 for Mr. Taft. The return in Missouri to the Democracy on the presidential ticket wiped out a Republican plurality of 25,000 four years ago. Maryland and West Virginia are confidently claimed by the Republi cans, but the returns are too meagre to justify a classification of either State. Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey was striking exceptions to the generally reduced Republican pluralities. There has been a shrinkage of the Democratic vote in several of the Southern States, notably in Virginia and North Carolina. >Zwvl 1 iiua 9. Hum maw. adCnSE Mr. Taft has carried Wisconsin by a plurality estimated at 75,000, a falling from the Roosevelt plurality of 150,000 in 1904. Kentucky has gone safely for Mr. Brvan by about 15,000. Governor John A. Johnson of Mis nesota, has probably been fleeted Governor of that State for a third term, although the State has gone safely for Mr. Taft. The voting 1 throughout fhe eoniv! rv has been exceptionally Heavy, ideal weather conditions bringing out the ciiu-i.trv voters in full force. Mr. Taft carried practically every so-eallod doubtful State except Ne braska. where the indications point to a Democratic vietorv. Mr. Brvan h*s enrried Nevada, and Montana, in addition to the solid South, which includes Missouri. News in Brief. Roar-Admiral Couden (retired) and Capt. William Blockingler are appointed rear-admirals. The new forts in the Philippines are nearing completion, and troops are to be sent from the Atlantic Coast to man them. C. W. Morse, the former ice king, testified in New York that Wesley M. Oler was glad to speculate ir. ice stock. Returns from Colorado and from Maryland are too meagre to form a definite conclusion as to their ulti mate -alignment. The House Still in Doubt. Chicago, 111., Special.—At *1:30 o'clock returns had been received from 316 congressional districts out of 31 in the country. Of these the Republicans had 177, the Democrats 139, 11 were doubtful and from 64 districts no accurate returns had been received. On this showing the Republican party at this hours lacks 19 votes of being able to control the House. How Bryan Took Defeat, Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., Special.— William J. Bryan received at his home, "Fairview," the returns winch early told him that for the third time he had been deefated in ' the greatest ambition of his life. Con fident of victory to the very last, he was not prepared to believe that his cause was lost until the pluralities of his Republican opponent piled up in such proportions as to leave no room for doubt. When the early returns came in, he made particular inquiries regarding the State of New York and found much encouragement in the gains he was making up-State over the Democratic vote of 1904. but as the figures continued to be receiv ed, he relied on Greater New York to offset the heavv Taft vote above HOWARD TAFT, Bin the Harlem river. Even in that he was bitterly disappointed and he soon realized that the State was hopeless ly gone and with it his prospocts of being elected. Sketch of Wm. H. Taft. William Howard Taft was born in Ohio and educated in the common and high schools. He later attended college and studied law, making a fine record. ' Mr. Waft's official life has been one of wide experience. As federal judge he served with marked ability and his work in the Philli pines was of great value to the coun try.

Philadelphia. Pa.. Special.—At 1 a. m. with 18 stiil to bear from the indications are that Taft has carried Pennsylvania bv n plurality that will be nearer 400,000 than 300,000.

St. Paul, Minn., Special.—While Taft carried the State by probably 80,000 the Governorship in Minne sota hangs in the balance, the result being so close that both Chairman Day of the Democratic State 'com mittee, and Brown of the Republican State committee, claim the State by small majorities.
