WELLINGTON, WHO FOUGHT LOWNDES IN MARYLAND, JOY FUL OVER THE DEMOCRATIC VICTORY THERE. ESxingtom, Nov. 8. Both sides con tinue to claim the state tonight. The chairman of the republican state com mittee claims the state for Taylor by 8,000, while Chairman Blackburn, of the democratic committee, claims it for Goebel toy 3,000 to 4,000. Last night his claim was 25,000. The republicans also claim a working majority in the next legislature on joint bar.lot, which means the repeal of the Goebel election law and the election of a republican senator.- Bradley is. the.leading candidate for theiatter place. Governor Bradley and Senator De boe have.beoome friends, which mean's that the governor will make friends with Taylor, thus reuniting the repub lican party. Ex-confederates and the Brown democrats have sent , a message to Bdley. commending him - on hi3 stand against fraud. This greeting means that the ex-confederates and Brownites are ready to gg any length to prevent Goebel from stealing the state. Should the Goebelites begin to throw out any republican districts ev ery legal, means will be invoked by the republicans to nulify their acts. WHAT THE RETURNS SHOW. Louisville, Nov. 8. Although the polls Closed thirty-six hours ago, the election is as much in doubt as ever. It will take an official coun't to decide who-wins on the face of the returns, and then in all possibility the legisla ture will be called upon to render a final' decision. There are still 300 pre cincts, or mearly one-six!th of the state, to hear from. The official returns thus tar show a plurality for Goebel of 3,887. The pre cincts unheard from include many in the eleventh district, which are heav ily republican, and many scattered pre cincts to democratic counties. All re ports received from the Eleventh dis trict thus far show heavy republican gains. The district generaly gives a republican majority of fourteen to sir- teen thousand. The returns received from ' he district give Taylor la plu rality of 11,148, so it will be seen that 5,000 more may be reasonably expected. i GOEiBEL'S CLAIMS. A telegram from Goebel to the Times this afternoon stated that he was sure ly elected by 7,000 and the democrats had a . working majority to the legisla ture. If the election is thrown into the aeglsfBature it is by no means cer tain that Goebel wilT be declared elect ed, as a1 number of "holdover" demo crats fare, opposed to Goebel. debof; says taylor by 15,000. Both sides are busy preparing for the contest. Every violator of the elec tion law wffl be vigorously prosecuted. Senator Deboe tonight said he estimat ed that Taylor was elected, by . 15,000, and, emphatically declared that if the democrats attempted'), to icount him out some of them would get shot and' the election! commissioners hanged. NASH'S VICTORY IN OHIO i "i 'i v , LATEST RETURNS GIVE HIM 51,000 PLURALITY LARGE STATE VOTE. Columbus, 3. , 'Nov.- 8. :The latest returns ' reoeiyed , toy the republican state committee from eighty-eight' coun iesy compiled by chairmen of 'county m!mittees, show that a Nash received aggregate pluralities In 57.countIes of 85,608 .and McLean - aggregate jrfurali- 4-tr.o - 91 tMTiif ton mf 33:949. , leaving I " t.

' ' The returns also indicate thaf "the total vote of the State will be about 925,000, the largest ever polled at a gu bernatorial election, and 'the larerest in the history of the state with the single exception of '96 Jones's vote will ap proximate 100,000. The democrats con cede that the republicans have carried the state. - NEBRASKA'S FUSION MAJORITY. WILL EXCEED 17,000 ATTRIBUT ED TO BRYAN. Oma'hia, Nov. 8. The fusion miadori ty will exceed seventeen thousand. This is certain, although less than half the complete county returns f 10m the state are in sight. The tto'tal vote of the state will aggregate 211,000. This is a fallmgoff of seven thousand as compared with '96. A fuHl report Can not be expected before tomorrow night. The chairman of the democratic com mittee, discussing the result, said it was clearly a popular movement in the interest of Bryan. Democrats all (agree in declaring that Uhe verdict is repudiation!, so far as the state ie con cerned, of the expansion, policy of Mc Kinley. ) . ' ' LOWNDES' DEFEAT IN MARYLAND SMITH'S MAJORITY 12,000-WEL- LINGTON JOYFUL. . Baltimore, Nov. 8. As the returns are coming in they show a steady in crease in the majority of Smith, dem ocrat, for governor. It is evident the republicans have carried only seven out of 23 counties and Smith's ma jority will reach 12,000. Lowndes' plu rality in the state four years ago was 18,767. Compared with the congres sional' election last year the democratic plurality in Baltimore shows a gain of nearly 8,000 and the democratic gains In the counties seem to be at least 10,- 000. In Baltimore the democrats elect ed the entire city ticket, including two senators and eighteen members of the house of delegates. Judge Schmucker, republican, is elected to the court of appeals. He was opposed by Taylor, independent democrat. Schmucker re ceived 48,997 votes tagainst 25,000 for Taylor. Much difficulty is being experienced in obtaining complete returns from the various counties, but the best informa- Mom obtefoaibie indicates" thai SmitltjHii.S! has carried the sta'te by at least 12,000 plurality. The senate wi'Hl consist of IS democrats and 11 republicans, and the house of 68 democrats and 21 re publican. The most satisfied man ?n the state is Senator Wellington, former political partner of Governor Lowndes. SHAW'S BIG MAJORITY IN IOWA. Des Moines. Nov. 8.

The legislature will stand: Sen ate, republicans, 35; democrats 15; house of representatives, republicans, 83; democrats, 17. The general opin ion is that Gear will' be re-elected to the senate. RESULT IN MASSACHUSETTS. Boston. Nov. 8. The latest revised diction returns show a plurality for Crane, republican, of 65,062. His vote is 168,896. Paine, democrat, received received 103,314.

TMs is a net gain for the democrats of four. The socialist gain throughout the state was considerable Boston went democratic bv 6.246 plurality. A noteworthy fact was the running slightfly of Bates, re publican', for lieutenant governor. It is tvelnpved that the republican anti- imperialists voted foT Paine, democrat, for erovernor, 'and voted the rest of the republican ticket sraight. NEW YORK'S RETURNS New York, Nov. 8. Revised return from every county in New York .state show that the next assembly win stand 92 renubfMoams and 57 democrats, but there is likely to be one more assem blyman to be taken' from the demo cratic column and added to the repub lican in the second district of Queens county, where It has been discovered that an the ballots of the republican candidate had not been credited to him.

WHITE BuUer's Despatch of Tuesday Was 0nly a Press TelegTam and 1 Not Official. Jjdndonv Nov. 8. There is sltill no di rectt news tfrom Gen. White 8m reference to tie fighting at Lady Smith on No vember 2 and 3, or aa to subsequent events. The wiatf office explains that Buller's dispatch of Tuesday was a press telegram from Lady Smitih, wthiich was mistakenly regarded) aa official. It is announced that Gen. White had sent a dSspatich alt the same time buit that the pigeon, or rumler carrying it had come to giriierf. It is ntoteworlthcr that none of the reiterated) reports of 6laug1hlter and cap ture emanated ifrom Lady Smith. London, Nov. 8. The pause in the Boer aJttack on Lady Smith probably is d!ue to the fact that more heavy guns are on the way from Johannes- buarg. General Joubert has a dear fort night before he need fear an invasion. He may possibly develop an unexpect ed strength of artillery, but, as Sir Edward Grey said int his Saturday speech, which was favorably received by.laotth political' parties, the Boers, are puttiftg forth their full might under the moat-favorable conditions, whereas the strength the British can put forward is not yet brought into the field. If they fail to crush General White, what chance have they of crushing General .Buller? Even 'their heavy guns, in1 which they placed their con fidence, as yet have failed to effect their original purpose of enabling them to sweep through Natal to Durban, aimi hrfaiting the British troops on 'the way ARRIVING TROOPS GIVE CONFI DENCE Ry next Sunday more than 20,000 British troops will have landed at Capetown, so the general feeling here is one of calm confidence in the uliti mate outcome. BOERS WILL ACCEPT DEFEAT. Tn an interesting letter in the Tele graph Bennett Burleigh gives an ac count of some of his experiences in preitoria and elsewhere before the open ing of the war. He investigated the charges of the Boers' cruelty to refu gees, and asserts that they can be proved to .the hilt. The most interesting point, however, is his assertion that the Boers will quietly -and decently accept the arbi- war- goes against them they will settle j down to their ordinary life. Mr. Bur leigh thus contradicts Attorney General Rtrrmts' declaration thait Ireland would be a peaceful country compared com pared to what the Trarasvaal would be come under English rule; that it would be a hell on earth; 'that shooting af frays aud general unrest would be constant, and that only the biggest ar mies could maintain it as an English dependency. GOVERNOR NUNEZ ARRIVES AT HAVANA - The Cuban Paper is Pessimistic About Freedom. Havana, Nov. 8. General Nunsz, appointed civil governor of Havana to succeed Rivera, removed, arrived to day from the United States and had an interview with Governor General Brooke. Brooke subsequently sta'ted that Nunez had said that he accepted the office because he' thought it was the duty of all good Cubans to help the United States carry out its mission. The Nuevopais today points out that the treaty of Paris makes' mo mention of the independence of Cuba and- de clares this amission is positive proof that the freedom! of Cuba is not in tended.

It is emphatically denied: by Hay th.t a secret treaty between England, the Uaiited Staes and China has been ar ranged to7 preserve the integrity of China and maintain the "open door." Secretary Hay declared that under thf constitution a secret treaty with for eign powers is impossible. To be bind ing, the -senate must ratify all trea ties. Ira official circles it is learned that the only interest the United States can have in the partition of China ;s the preservation of, American trade rights. Assurances that.

PRINCETON TIGERS DEFEAT NORTH CAROLINA A Very One-Sided Game of Footba1! Chapel Hill Team Was Crippled. Princeton, Nov. 8. The Tigers dis posed of the North Carolina university eleven easily this afternoon by the im pressive score of 30 to 0. Cantain Ward sent in his best for the first half, but the sturdy Tigers took only 15 min utes tb roll up 18 points with their smashing mass plays and during the rest of the game substitutes were given a chance. The visitors line was every bit as heavy as Princeton's. Several1 times Princeton was forced .to surrender the' ball on downs, twice on tho vicirivi' three yard line. But a try at either end, with well formed interference, seldom failed to net the required dis tance, and the Tiger's offensive play was replete with end rusihes. On aggressive wtork the southerner? were noticeably weak and were nev ?r within striking distance of Princeton's goal. The Tigers in the second half put hn a practically new team, com posed of substitutes, but the second! raters managed to completely outplay the tired southerners. The defeat of the North Carolina team: is due to a great extent, no doubt, to the absence of three of her j best men from the game. The captain has been expelled from the university and two other mainstays of the team .4, KAISER AS PEACEMAKER IN TRANSVAAL TROUBLE Report That He Will Act To Insist on French High's in China.

Manila, Wednesday Nisht, Nov. 8. It will probably be known tomorrow whether the insurgents intend to make a fight at Tarlac. If the Americans neet no resistance at Bamban it wiil be an indication of a general movement of rebels toward Bayon&ong. It Is probable that General Wheaton's for-, ces landed at a point in the Gulf of Lingayen yesterday. They should by this time be well toward the Ango ri ver. General Young crossed" the rJver with troops this morning and is push ing rapidly in the direction' of San Jose. His object is to obtain a posi tion where he can connect with Whea toh.
