Chicago, Not. 9.—The prospect Is
now that Major McKinley’s electoral
vote will be 280, giving him a majority
over VV. J. llryan of 113. This includes
Kentucky and Wyoming in the Mc-
Kinley column, although it is not yet
positively known that they have gone
Republican. Almost complete returns,
however, make it reasonably sure that
they are for McKinley by very narrow
margins—less than 1,000 In each case.
On the other hand, It is not impossi-
ble that McKinley's electoral vote may
be cut down to 201, for the last returns
from South Dakota show a tie, with
three precincts to hear from, which
may give the state to either McKinley
or llryan. In ease it goes to llryan,
and Kentucky’s thirteen and Wyom-
Ings two doubtful votes also go to
llryan, McKinley's vote will !*■ only
201, a majority of 75. McKinley's ma-
jority cannot bo less than this.

RECEIVER J-TJR SANTA FE.
Kiiimi Portion of the System* Again In
the C'ouit’* Hand*.
Tom A, Kan., Nor. 7.—County At-
torney 11. T. Phinney of Jefferson
comity, in the name of the state of
Kansas, yesterday brought suit in the
Leavenworth district court to compel
the Manta Fe railroad company to dis-
pose of its real estate in Kansas.
Judge Myers uppointcil Charles F.
Johnson of Oskaloosa as receiver. The
receiver is placed in control of all the
company’s property except the rolling
stock, the order including right-of-
way. telegraph lines, depots, round-
houses, shops and all other property
that is staked to the ground. The
bond of the receiver was fixed at
950,000.
The receiver vrtw ordered to enter
into an agreement with the officials of
the railroad company to operate its
line within five days, and if. at the ex-
piration of that time, the company had
faded to enter into such an agreement,
the receiver was ordered totukc charge
of the rolling stock aud operate the
liue
The suit was brought under the alien
land law of Kansas, which prevents
companies, where 20 per cent or more
of their stock is held by aliens, from
bolding land in Kansas. It is esti-
mated that the company owns $20,000,-
000 worth of property in Kansas. The
suit covers the entire main line, which
owns all the real estate. It is claimed
that the suit is the outgrowth of an
old fight of long standing among the
stockholders of the Santa Fe, and that
it was instigated at the instance of
Henry Clews, the Now York bunker,
and Newman Erb, the well known
railroad man.
General Solicitor A. A. Hurd, of the
Santa Fe in Kansas refused to talk
about the ease to-night. He had heard
indirectly that the receiver had been
appointed, but said no papers bud yet
been served on the officials at. this
point. It is understood that the com-
pany's first move will be to ask that
the case he transferred to the United
States court.
This is the first case ever filed in
Knnsas under the alien land law, and
its result will be watched with great
interest by capitalists and tig corpora
tions. Receiver Johnson is tne Repub-
lican state senator-elect of Jefferson
and Douglas counties, and a prominent
business man of Oskaloosa.

NINE STATES VERY CLOSE.
Lmb Than 88,000 Votes Rsatly Settled
the Election.
WA8HI.XGTON, Nov. 9.—The immense
popular majority received by Major
McKinley and hia goodly majority in
the electoral college tend alike to con-
ceal the real narrowness of bis victory
because of the closeness of the vote in
several states. If there had been a
change of less than 26,000 votes in the
Aggregate in nine states. Bryan would
have been elected President of the
United States. McKinley's majority in
California, Delaware, Indiana. Ken-
tucky, North Dakota, Oregon, South
Dakota, Went Virginia and Wyoming
combined was less than 52.000, and the
nine states cast 60 electoral votes. A

Ticket, ( ongrviHUK-n and LcgUlat urn.
Omaiia, Neb., Nov. 6.—Although the
returns from Nebraska are fragment-
ary and may remain Incomplete for
two or three days, enough is known to
warrant the conclusion that Nebraska
lias been carried by Mr. liryun and the
fusion state ticket; with majorities
ranging from 6,000 to 0,000. This is
conceded by the Republicans.
The defections in the Hr publican
congressional districts will defeat four
out of sir Republican candidates for
congress. Mercer of t he second being
the only man on that ticket elected.
From the returns thus far received it
is manifest that the fusionists will
control both houses of the state legis-
lature
The Republicans will have eleven
senators and forty-one members of the
house, while the fusionists will muster
twenty-one senators and fifty-nine
representatives, or nearly a two-thirds
majority in each branch of the legis-
lature.
Ulcit Figure* From Colorado.
Dkvvkh, Nov. 0.—Almost complete
returns from all counties in Colorado
give llryan 141,000. McKinley 26,000,
scattering 2,000. Adams, Democrat-
Silver Republican candidate for gover-
nor, receives 83,000, Bailey, Populist-
Silver, 07,00; Allen, gold standard Re-
publican. 14,000; Waite, Middle-of-thc-
Road Populist, 3,000. Congressman
Shn froth. Silver-Republican in the
First district, and Hell, Populist in the
Second, lire re-elected by almost the
entire vote of their representative
districts. Senator Teller will be re-
elected without opposition.
Financial Support for llryan.
San Francisco, Nov. 9.—Charles D.
Lane, part owner of the Utica gold
mine, announces that lie will give Will-
iam J. Bryan financial support in his
advocacy of bimetallism. The Califor-
nian will see to it that Mr. Bryan's
traveling expenses are paid and that
the living expenses of himself and
family ttre paid during the campuigu
of eduration which he proposes to con-
duct during the next four years.
A * bull Must Stay In Frlitoti.
Topeka, Kan., Nov. 9.—The su-
preme court decided that Marion As-
bell of Lal>ettc county, who murdered
his wife January 29, 1896, will have to
stay in the penitentiary for life. Mrs.
AsIh-U bad a grown daughter named
Maggie Whitehouse with whom Asla-ll
became infatuated, and it is supposed
that be killed his wife in order to
marry the girl.
Topeka, Kan., Nov. 9.—According to
returns from ninety-six counties in
Kansas, Leedy’s majority is 7,710. The
other nine counties to hear from they
say will swell that majority probably
.500 votes. The Republican managers
have but little hope for their state
ticket. While they claim that it looks
very much like a Fusion victory, they
say that the election is so close that
Morrill may pull through. The Gov-
ernor, however, has given up, as well
us tlie other state officers.
This makes the slump in Kansas
complete, except for the election of
Hanna Say* McKinley Will Call One—
Praiir for Gold Democrat*.
New Yokk, Nov. 9.—The World
prints the following authorized inter-
view with Mark Hanna: "I have had
but comparatively brief conversations
with Major McKinley sinue the elec-
tion. This much I know, he feels lie
owes much to the patriotic Democrats
who prefer principle to strict party
ties. Indiana, for instance, was un-
questionably carried against fusion by
Democratic votes. He recognizes the
very great rviecs performed by Dem-
ocratic and independent newspapers
during the campaign. Major McKin-
ley will endeavor to sec collected a
great national party that will give
prosperity to the country. He expects
aud hopes that men of all shades of
former political belief will be united to
this end. 1 have 4«lked with some of
the most influential n! the old Demo-

they are in accord with Major McKin-

HON. J. W. LEEDY.
Republican congressmen in the First
and Fourth districts, aud a bare possi-
bility of the election of Harris in the
Second. It is the moststunningdefeat
that the Republican party ever suffered
in the Sunflower state.
The returns indicate that the senate
and house this winter will stand as
follows:
Senate—Populists, 27; Republicans,
11; Democrats, 2.
House—Populists, 69; Republicans,
45; Democrats, 7; Free Silver Repub-
licans, 4.
This gives the Populists 96 votes on
joint ballot, 13 more than a majority
over all other parties combined. V bile
the Republicans have not heard from
all the precincts, they do not question
the legislative claims of their oppon-
ents.
At 11 o'clock last, night corrected
complete and estimated returns from
ninety of the loo counties had been re-
ceived at fusion headquarters, of which
number John W. Leedy carried sixty-
one. Here is the list, with majorities

do everything in his power to secure it,

Louisville, Ky., Nov. 9.—The fol-

“Practically complete official returns

that the four missing counties will in-

eight year term, and by the filling of
Kansas City gave Bryan a
plurality of 40,532, and Stephens of
37,614. The city of St. Loais reduced
these pluralities to 24,737 for Bryan

against the removal because they
feared it’ would entail expense upon
them.
It is probable also that all of the
other amendment propositions are de-
feated.

Follower* for the Next Election.
Washington, Nov. 9.—The campaign
for the free coinage of silver will be
waged with vigor during the next four
years in preparation for the election ol
1900. The directors of the American
Bimetallic union, who constitute the
bulk of the silver leaders in three par-
ties, have decided to maintain head-
quarters in this city, from which to
send out literature.
The branch office at Chicago will 1>«
consolidated with the Washington
office, hut the San Francisco branch ia
to be continued. At the request of the
directors, General A. J. Warner, the
president of the union, lias issued the
following address to the Silver leagues
and Bimetallic unions of the United
States:
“Silver has lost in this election, but
the battle for the overthrow of the
gold standard has not ended. The
disastrous results that must attend
upon the continuance of this standard
make it impossible to relinquish the
struggle against it until it is finally
overthrown.
“The gold standard cannot be main-
tained by increasing revenues, because
revenues are not paid in gold. The
attempt to maintain the gold standard
by perpetual loans must also, sooner or
later, fail.
“The victory for gold is a victory of
trusts and syndicated wealth, brought
about by corruption and coercion, and
not a victory of the people, or for the
people, and it cannot last. There must
be an end also to the constant appreci-
ation of monev.
“The battle, therefore, for the restor-
ation of silver must go on without
abatement. I urge upon all silver and
bimetallic leagues and unions to keep
up their organizations and to continue
the tight till victory for the people is
finally won.
“The noble fight made by our in-
trepid leader in the campaign iust
ended endears him to all who believe
in the righteousness of our own cause,
and under his leadership we believe
victory will be won in 1900.”
TO KEEP UP THE FIGHT.
wiu
Republican National Committee
Keep Mr. Bryan Company.
New York, Nov. 9. —Chairman Han-
na of the national Republican commit-
tee proposes to checkmate Mr. Bryan
and the other advocates of free silver
coinage, who announce that they in-
tend to keep up the fight for their
cause.
Mr. Hanna proposes to keep the na-
tional committee at work. He does
not want to see disarmament at this
stage of the fight. Even without the
warning of Bryan's letter he recognizes
the necessity of keeping up the tight
against free silver.
The national committee, which usu-
ally slumbers through the interval of
three and a half years between cam-
paigns. is to be very much awake and
busy through the next four years if
Mr. Hanna’s ideas are carried out, and
doubtless they will be.
His plan is to have a continuous Re-
publican campaign for the next fonr
years under his direction, headquarters
to be established in New York or Chi-
cago. with officers in charge, from
whiclqliterature will he sent out and
speakers assigned to keep up the fight
against free silver.
