Illinois.
Chicago, Nov. 7.—Illinois went re-
publican by over 100,000; the vote
for Sniulski, state treasurer, footing
about 120,000 with few districts esti
mated. Chicago gave the state
ticket a plurality of ov,er 50,000. The
republicans lost two congressional
districts apparently in Chicago ano j
two more down state, making a galh j
of 'our f :r the democrats and giving j
then five instead of one in the Illi-
nois congressional delegation. The
legislature is undoubtedly republican I
by a :;ood majority or. Joi:.t ballot,
the republicans having a majority of
the members in both houses. This
insures the return to the senate of

Topeka, Kan., Nov. 7.—The elec-
tion in Kansas is so close that it was
impossible Wednesday to give cor-
rect figures. Chairman C rummer, of
the republican state committee,
claimed Wednesday mcr.ing the re-
election of Governor h. W. Hoch by
6,000, while Chairman Ryan of the
Democratic State committee says W.
A. Harris has carried the state by
at least 15,000 majority. The repub-
lican committee had complete re-
turns from 43 of the 105 counties.
Governor Hoch is running far behind
his ticket. Harris has carried shaw-
nee county by at ler.st 500 majority.
It will undoubt?<'..v be late before
the election results from over the
state can be ascertained with accur-
acy. Chairman Crummer of the
state republican committee, at 10
o'clock issued a bulletin claiming the
re-election of Mr. Hoch by 3,600 ma-
jority. No estimate was given on the
rest of the state ticket but the indi-
cations are that it is republican.
The entire republican congression-
al delegation is elected. The list of
republican candidates for represen-
tative defeated include Jones of
Reno, Banfcs of Montgomery, Paul-
ing of Bourbon, Hussev and Pringle
of Osage, Barnes of Pratt, Ingalls of
Atchison, Schmidt of Geary, Schrader
of Miami, Schmidt of Rice, Tracey of
Pottawatomie.
Cyrus I/eland of Doniphan, and W.
Y. Morgan of Reno are reported
elected by very close margins. It is
thought that the republicans will
control the legislature.
At 11 o'clock the election returns j
received in Topeka from over the ]
state indicated that the election for
governor is in doubt. The republi-
can state committee claiming the re-
election of Hoch by 5,000 majority,
after receiving complete returns from
sixty counties. The democratis state
committee securing its return less
systematically, cla^i the election of
W. A. Harris for governor by a ma-
jority of 15,000. It is generally con-
ceded that the republican members
of the supreme court and the rest of
the state ticket, including the rail-
way commissloneirs are elect'iil, The
republicans probably have clected a
working majority of the legislature.
Complete returns from 71 out or
105 counties received at republican
state headquarters srtiows a plurality
of 5,000 for Hoch for governor.
Minnesota.
St. Paul. Minn.. Nov. 7.—Governor
Johnson has been re-elected gover-
nor of Minnesota over his republican
opponent, A. L. Cole, by a majority
of at least 30*000. The Dispatch, re-
publican, in its midnight extra will
concede this. Frank Day, chairman
of the democratic state centra', co.t-
mittee, claims Johnson's election by
40,000. This majority for a demo-
crat candidate is unprecedon'ed
In Minnesota. Four years nco Van-
ant, republican, was elected gover

ber 1. The directors gave the cost
of living and the present prosperity

taken by all the companies in thu

This calculation is made on partial

I The Head of the Democratic Tick-
et Fell Behind the Other Candi-
date* In Greater Sew York and
to 'lila Probably Onea hta Defeat
—Tin Heault l*l. «- vhere.
j New York, Nov. 7.—With incom-
! plete returns outside of the greater
New York, the result of Tuesday's
election in New York state aside from
the head of the ticket was still in
doubt Wednesday. At 10 o'clock
Wednesday forenoon there wa3 a
possibility that the entire democratic
state ticket aside from governor had
been elected. All the democratic
candidates ran far ahead of William
R. Hearst in the greater New York
and their pluralities here of approxt
mately 140,000 over their republican
opponents may have the effect of
overcoming the republican lead in
up-state counties. These estimates
however, necessarily are based upon
the full state vote for governor and
depend entirely upon the estimate
that lesser candidates held with
Charles E. Hughes. On the face of
the present returns Mr. Hughes came
down to the Harlem river with a
lead over Hearst of a little more
than 130,000. While this was suffi
cient to give Mm a lead of consider
ably more ' nan 50,000 over Hearst,
Mr. Hughes' associates have the far
greater plurality rolled up by the re
mainder of the state ticket to meer
The closest contest undoubtedly
will be between M. Linn Bruce, re
publican, and Lewis Stuyvesanr
Chanler, Independence league and
democrat, for lieutenant governo:-.
Chanler's plurality in the greater
New York I:; aboui 135,000. Return?^
already In show that some of the up
state counties Mr. Bruce ran aheao
of his ticket. Even if Brace had
come down to the Bronx on an even
footing with Hughes, the plurality of
Chanler would have been a scant B,-
000. If the returns yet to come
show that the republican candidate
made gains in other counties this
plur.i!::v may be cut down if not en
tir.-iv wiped out.
Next to lieutenant governor, the
figures at hand show that John S.
Whalen, the democratic candidate
for secretary of state may come
through a winner by the closest mar
gin.
As more important returns began
to come in by counties Wednesday
It was seen that In some instances
there was a small but consistent lead
by the lesser republican candidates
over the head of their ticket.
With some districts still missing ill
Delaware, Essex, Hami:' Ontario
Oswego and St. La wren counties,
but estimating these six counties a
giving Hughes a plurality of 19,100
the plurality of Mr Hughes outside
of greater New York Is 129,660 or a
plurality In the state of 52,671.
Nebraaika.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 7.-—Returns re-
ceived at republican headquarters
Wednesday indicate the election of
Sheldon, republican, governor by
about 15,000 plurality. Many pre
cincts are yet to be h«>ard from, but
they will not vary greatly from the
returns upon which the forecast Is
based. Chairman Rose, of the state
committee, claims 87 republican mem-
bers of the legislature, G7 being a
majority. This will mean the elec-
tion of Norris Brown, the state con
vention's choice for United States
senator.
Colorado.
Denver, Nov. 7.—Colorado returns
are incomplete, but sufficient to
show the election of the entire re-
publican state, congressional and Ju-
dicial tickets and a republican ma-
jority of 30 or more on joint ballot
in the next legislature which will
elect a senator to succeed Thomas
M. Patterson. Republicans claim
pluralities above 20,000 for Rev.
Henry A. Buchtel. candidate for gov-
ernor, and their other nomolnees for
state offices.
Oklahoma.
Oklahoma City. Ncv. 7—Reports
rec;;ved up to 12:30 o'clock Wednes
day indicate that the democrat?
have elected 100 out of 112 delegate -
that will compose the constitutiona*
convention.
Iowa.
Des Moines. Nov. 7.—Reports from
about half I lie counties of the state
received at political headquarters
indicate that the republicans carried
the state for entire ticket. Chairman
Woods says that all the late reports,
increase the plurality for head or
republican ticket and his latest esti-
mate is that Cummins will have mon-
than 2.500 plurality. At democratic
headquarters the claim is made
that reports show Porter will have
a plurality of less than 5,000. There
is no doubt of the election of Ham
ilton. 'cmocrat, to congress in the
Sixth district, but the First district
Is still in donbt.

Idaho.
Boise, Idaho, Nov. 7.—According to
returns Wednesday morning It seems
assured that Gov. Gooding, the re-
publican candidate for governor, has
been re-elec'ed, though his plurality
shows heav> losses from the vote he
received in 1904. French, the repub-
lican candidate for congressman, is
probably elected over Hattabaugh,
but by a considerably narrower ma-
jority that Gooding.
Sen Mexico.
Albuquerque, N. M„ Nov. 7.—Partial
returns from seven counties out of 25
in New Mexico give joint statehood
a majority or 2,00b. Reports so far re
ceived indicate that the territory will
go for jointure by from 4,000 to 7,000.
Early reports indicate election of An-
drews, republican, delegate to con-
gress.

Russian Epicurean Coffee.
This coffee is made of a quantity of
coffee, fruit and cognac In an open
bowl. The coffee is first laid in the
bowl and a quantity or finely chopped
apples and pears make a second layer.
The whole is then covered with cog-
nac, which is lighted, and there re-
mains a highly aromatic and delicious
syrup which is the epicure's idea of
Russian coffee. At first this appears
a strange drink, but It soon becomes
very popular. The Idea of using fruit
with coffee seems to be confined to
the Russians, but it suggests interest-
ing possibilities for experiment.
Washington, Nov. 8.—President
Roosevelt's appeal for a republican
congress was not in vain. With the
count still going on, the result so far
shows the election of 211 republican
congressmen. 163 democrats, with 12
districts to be heard rrom. There
are 386 seats to be filled in the
house and should the democrats get
the remaining 12 they would still
not have control.
The most sanguine prediction put
out by Chairman Sherman previous
to the election was that the repub
licans would retain control of the
house by 50.
As the returns stand now the
democrats have gained 21 districts
held in the present congress by re-
publicans, at follows:
Illinois two, Indiana one, Iowa two,
Missouri 8, Nebraska 1, New Jersey-
one, New York one, North Carolina
me, Ohio three, Pennsylvania rive,
and Wisconsin one.
In Illinois the defeated republicans
are Rieves and Dickson of the Twen
ty-first and Twenty-third districts;
in Indiana, Cromer, of the Eighth; in
Iowa, Lacey of the Sixth; in Mis
souri, Fulkerson, of the Fourth: Wei
born of the Seventh and Caulkins ot
the Firteenth; in Nebraska, Kennedy
of the Second: in New York, Wads-
worth of the Thirty fourth; in New
Jersey, Pickett of the Ninth: in
North Carolina, Blackburn of the
Eighth; in Ohio, Douglas, who beat
Grosvenor for" the republican nom-
ination. In Wisconsin, Babcock gives
his seat to a democrat; in Pennsyl-
vania, Dale of the Tenth; Palmer,
Eleventh, and Samuel Sixteenth.
The republicans gained the third
Kentucky district where A. D. James
defeated Representative Richardson.
This is the only republican gain so
far reported.
Speaker Cannon received his usual
15,000 majority and comes back to
congress tor the 17th time. The
fight against Representative Dalzell,
of Pittsburg, was futile, as Mr. Dal
zell is re-elected with reduced ma-
jority.
Mr. Wadsworth, who Is chairman
of the house committee on agricul-
ture, was defeated by Peter A. Por
ter, who announced himself first as
an Independent republican and at

was endorsed by both the democrats
and Independence league.
