Nebraska Very Clowe and Still lu Doubt The 'ev York Legislature. New York. November 9. The latest figures obtainable show that Roose- Ivelt's plurality In the state is not far from 20,000. Only ten counties in the fate gave Van Wyck pluralities and ne all localities swayed by cit- York, KtQ-g-Qtreefc, a illinaT nff in "Roncjpvplt'a ;ompared with Black's in to a decrease in the repub- fote up the state of 61,000 and Feater New York of C2,000. Against lis Van Wyck gained 20,000 above the Ilallem and 53,000 below it, as compar ed with Porter two years ago. In that year the democrats carried only one county (Schoharie) which gave Por ter 412 plurality. This year it gave Van Wyck 728. The result on congressmen in this state seems to have surprised even the democrats themselves. Nineteen of their candidates' were elected, the re publicans getting but 15. In the pres ent house the New York delegation stands 27 republicans to 6 democrats. In the Greater New York all the demo cratic candidates were elected. The most noteworthy change being the de feat of Lemuel E. Quigg, in the Four teenth district by Captain Wm. As tor Chanler, where a plurality for Quigg two years ago of 11,200 was over come by Captain Chanler with from 2,000 to 3.000 to spare. After the gubernational contest, as much interest was taken in the state legislature as in anything else. The close friendship known to exist be tween Mr. Croker and Senator Murphy caused a general belief that the Tam many leader would do all in his power to secure the legislature in order that Mr. Murphy might retain his seat in the senate, and the result shows he did his best. Notwithstanding this, how ever the state senate will be republi can by 4 and the assembly by 20. Political interest from now on will center about the senatorship, and al ready discussion as to the probable as pirants has begun. So far, there Is no announced candidate, and the republi can organization has not declared it self. Mr. Piatt was asked today whether or not he "would express him self on the subject hut "he declined, saying the senatorship was a matter for the legislature to settle. Corrected returns received up to midnight show Roosevelt's plurality, all outside of Greater New York, 107, 783, Van Wyck's pluralities in Albany, Chemung Clinton, Erie, Renssalaer and Schoharie counties and Greater New York, 80,450. Roosevelt's plural ity 21,218. NEW JERSEY. New York, November 9. The New .'Jersey returns with a few districts missing show a plurality for Voorhees, republican, of 5,002. WEST VIRGINIA. Wheeling, West Va., November 9. "The republicans have elected two con gressmen in West Virginia, Dovener, in the First (Wheeling) district by 1.S00 majority and Freer, in the Fourth by 1.C00 majority. Both parties claim the Second and Third. Chairman Dawson of the republican state committee tonight claims the election of 7 republicans and 6 demo crats to the state senate .and 40 repub licans and 31 democrats to the house of delegates. With the hold over sen ators, this will give the republicans a majority on joint ballot of 13, and in jure -the election of a republican as successor to Senator Faulkner, demo crat. Chairman Ohley, of the democratic committee claims, the legislature on oint 'ballot. PENNSYLVANIA. Philadelphia, November 9. The del egation from Pennsylvania in the next congress will comprise 21 republicans and 9 democrats, a democratic gain of 6. The present delegation is compos ed of 27 republicans and 3 democrats. In eacii of the districts gained by the democrats except the Seventeenth the present republican representative was M candidate for re-election. MINNESOTA. .Minneapolis. November 9. It is now practically certain that Page Morris, republican, is re-elected in the Sixth Mimc-rota, making a solid republican delegation from Minnesota. Returns from all but 5 of the 20 counties in the district give Morris a plurality of "1,1 -in. The remaining counties will in crease rather than decrease this. Two years aj;o Towne carried the missing five rounds by only 350. St. Paul, Minn., November 9. John Lind, silver republican, with demo cratic and populist endorsement will not have less than 10,000 over Eustls republican. The balance of the repub lican ticket will be chosen my majori ties even greater than that of Lind. All seven republican congresmen have been elected. WYOMING. Cheyenne, Wyo., November 9. i There appears to be no reason to change ' the estimates of the republican state chairman, except that the republican majority in the state will increase. This is indicated by surprising returns : from new precincts. For congress at j large Frank W. Mondell, republican is elected. WASHINGTON. Seattle, Washington, November 9. Returns from the state of Washing ton are still Incomplete, but enough are at hand to make certain that the republicans have overcome the major ity of 1,200 of two years ago, elected both congressmen and two supreme court justices, by 3,000 majority. Later returns, will it is thought, increase, j rather than decrease this estimate The legislature, which, will 'elect a United States senator will be republi can on joint ballot by at least 40 out of amsffih'ership of 112. This estimate aives the fusionists all the doubtful districts. The amendments to the state constitution woman suffrage, local option, and municipal taxation are overwhelmingly defeated. VIRGINIA. Richmond, Va., November 9. Ad ditional returns from Tuesday's elec tion make it certain that the demo- c.a.LO camcu c.u, "olu"ul uia unci. IDAHO. Boise, Idaho, November 9. Only 47 : precincts in the state embracing one eighth of the vote have reported. They give Moss, republican for governor 2,012, Steinberg, democrat 3,083, Ander son, populist 557. Fortysix precincts give Heyburn, re publican, for congress, 1,926; Wilson, fusion, 2,532: Gunn, populist, 839. The fusion ticket is all elected by plurali- j ties ranging from 5,000 to 8,000.

These are straight republicans, jority of 3S.000 for governor. These gures will, however, be reduced by full returns and it seems tonight that ; this majority will be between Z5,U0U and 30,000.

Less than half of the vote of Califor nia has been counted, but 1,111 corn- plete precincts out of 2,407 give Gage, republican, for governor 9,540 plural- ity. At this rate his vote will be 20,- 000 in excess at Maguire. It is rea- sonably sure also that the republicans 4iae iai i leu me rt:sL ui me ssixte uc&ri t with the exception, perhaps, of secre- j tary of state and two judges of the ; : .i i i i. supreme court.

The re- i publicans will control the senate after March 4th next The present t di vision of the senate is: Republicans 43, democrats 34, populists 6, silver repub- licans 6. Prior to yesterday's election A t f! . mese ngures were cnangea by a re publican gain of 2, viz.: McComas, or .Maryland, who will succeed Gor- man, and Simon, of Oregon, who was elected to fill a vacancy. This increases the republican total to 45. The terms of seven republican senators expire March 4th next, leaving 38 hold-over republicans. The elections of yester day made certain the choice of ten ad- ditional republican senators. This gives a total of 48 or 2 more than a majority over the democrats, .populists and sil ver republicans. In addition yester day's voting probably will result in the election of three more republican sena tors. There are 12 democratic hold-over senators. To this number yesterday's elections will result in adding 4 cer tainly and 1, probably, making a total of 25. The populists and silver republi- can hold-overs number 8 This was in- d ?ur majority will be over the com- duces us to place nine districts in- in doubt."

A letter from President Masso, of the Cuban , provisional government to President McKinley, became accessible today. It is dated at "Santa Cruz del Sur, Sep tember 23rd, and deals with the gov ernmental problems which now con front the American and Cuban peo ple in Cuba. President Masso says that with the evacuation of the island by the Span ih "will enmmpnppk th( nrrliimis and i difficult tack of establishing in Cuba a firm and stable government, which shall be the legitimate expression of S the free win of ,its People, and shall ; IT! JK"" r 'l i--" " ' J - bans so ardently wish for." He says that the logic of events im posed an agreement between the Americans and Cubans as to the ends to be accomplished, and that "the com plex labor in which we have been and are engaged has been but in part re alized, and that the government coun cil as the supreme authority of the revolution has inspired all its acts in the aim of sustaining and aiding the policy of the American government." President Masso then reviews the actions of the Cuban revolutionary party and indicates the steps that are to be taken by the Cuban people to bring to fruition the hopes which have inspired them through years of strife for freedom. He adds: "We will stand by those men who have sacrificed ev- erything for the welfare of their coun j try and we are ready to answer for ; our conduct." 1 He concedes that the American gov ernment should garrison the island in order to insure tranquility during the 1 period of transition from Spanish to Cuban rule, and that "the natural ,de ' velopment of events will necessarily bring about a practical understanding between the American government and the people of Cuba upon a common basis. v 1 fe'gia I XDElt 7IA11TIAL, LAW Lieutenant Colonel Taylor Put In Com mand or tbe Local Troops Tbree Other Companies Ordered to Wil mington by tbe Gorernor (Special to The Messenger.)
