Boston, Mass., Nov. 7.—The Republi cans carried Massachusetts today by 95,000, electing W. Murray Crane, Gov ernor. The entire Republican State ticket was elected! by practically the same plurality as the head of the ticket, and the legislature of 1900 will also he Republican by the usual large ma jority, there being few changes in either branch. The expansion question apparently played little part in the election, and Senator Herbert C. Parsons, of Green field. where the question was an issue before the people, was defeated. Mr. Parsons ran independently and was as sisted in his campaign by a number of Anti-Expansionists from this city. Democrats carried the city of Boston by 0,19(5. Boston, Mass.. Nov. 7.—Three hundred and fifty out of 353 towns and cities in Massachusetts give Crane, Republican, 1(58,574; Paine, Democrat, 105,8(55.

Parsons, an Anti-Im perialist, who ran on an independent ticket, v as defeated by the regular Re publican nominee. Boston, Mass., Nov. 7. —Complete re turns show that Paine, Democrat, has carried the city by (5.19(5. Paine’s total vote was 52,592. Crane’s total vote was 2(5.39(5. PENNSYLVANIA. Philadelphia. Pa.. Nov. 7.—‘Complete returns from ten of the forty wards in this city give Burnett. (Rep.), for State Treasurer, a plurality of 13,830 over Creasy, (Dem). The same wards in 1897, when Swallow was rumhing strong as the Independent candidate, gave Beo.com, (Rep.), a plurality of 17,82(5, and in 1895 the Republican plurality was 18.443. The vote on the question of authorizing a $12,000,000 loan for the improvement of the city water supply shows the citi zens to be overwhelmingly in favor of the proposition, the average being about 10 to 1 in favor. The Republican city committee esti mates a Republican plurality of 40,(MM) in Philadelphia, a Republican loss of over 30,000 as compared with 1897. The loss is due to the small vote cast. In the Slate the following ticket was elect ed: State Treasurer—James E. Barnett, Republican. Supreme Court Judge—J. Hay Brown, Republican; S. Leslie Mestrcz nit, Demo crat. Superior Court Judge—John I. Mit chell. Republican. There are two vacancies in the Su preme court and each party elects one J udge.

The majority in Allegheny will Ik* about 20JMM), and in the State, exclusive of Philadelphia and Allegheny 50,000.

Jackson, Miss., ~ov. 7. —■’Scattering re turns received Jlmm representative sec tions of the iState indicate a very light vote in. the Mississippi election. This was caused by a decided lack of interest on the part of the voters in their pre cincts and a heavy purging of the regis tration IxKdcs in several counties. The entire Democratic 'State ticket is elected by a majority conservatively estimated at 30,000. The official count will not greatly vary these figures. The Popu list vote shows a decided failing off which will probably amount, to 30 per cent. Not over (55,000 votes were palled J during the day. Tin? Populists have probably elected a member of the Iveg isla tore from Choctaw county) The vote on the Noel amendment providing for an elective judiciary is decidedly close and it will require an official count to determine the result.

At the same ratio Paul Gnpdeveille will be elected mayor over IV alter ■(’. Flower, the present hi dtmbentt, by at least (5,000 votes. The State and United States Kenatorship tights were involved in the contest, and tin* Democracy also made the issue of municipal ownership prominent. Botli aides agreed to two referees in each ward, besides a Central board of arbitra tion. which decided all disputed ques tions and took away any excuse for trouble. New Orleans, La., Nov. 7. —Pills dos ed here at 7 o’clock.
