XO PANACEA FOE WATSON WOES Light Vote In FloriJa and Democratic Losses. What's Going on in Realm of Politics Reed and Boutelle Coming West Everybody Claiming Everything-One Man to be Elected. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Oct. 9 According to the latest indications, the total vote of the State for Governor did not exceed 40,550, of which Blox-ham (Dem.) received 27,25, Gunby (Rep.) 8,850, and Weeks (Pop.) 440. Complete returns from twenty-nine counties of of forty-five give Bloxham ,21,549 votes, against 25,334 for Mitchell in the same counties in 1892 a loss of 15 per cent in the Democratic total. This proportionate loss has appeared very uniformly in-the. returns, and indicates a loss of about 4,800 in the State as a whole from the aggregate Democratic vote of four years ago. Bloxham's majority over all may not exceed 14,000. Of 100 members of the Senate and House, ninety-one are Democrats, of whom sixty-four are believed to be against and twenty-seven for the reelection of Wilkinson Call to the United States Senate. X RETURNS FROM GEORGIA. Tom Watson's State Fails to Stand by Him, Properly. ATLANTA (Ga.), Oct. 7 W. H. Atkinson (D.) is re-elected by a majority of not less than 28,000, which is an increase of 6000 over the party majority of two years ago. - The situation at mid-night was very complex, and the result is largely guess work. Fulton county, in which this city is situated, has given Atkinson a majority of 1000, where two years ago it gave a majority of 1800. Bibb county this year gives a majority of 600 and two years ago it gave the Democrats a majority of 3000. In the Tenth district, which is the home of-Thomas Watson, the Democratic majority has dropped from 8000 to 2000. It is generally considered, however, that Atkinson has carried the State by at least 28,000, and the returns are expected by his friends to show that he has a majority of 35,000. This, if true, will mean that the balance of the ticket has been successful by majorities of 40,000. ATLANTA (Ga.). Oct. 9. Returns received s'o far on Wednesday's election show that the total Populist vote will not exceed 85,000. It was 95,888 in 1894, showing a decrease of about 11,000. The falling off is largely attributed to the capture of the negro vote by Governor Atkinson. Official figures coming in today do not materially change the estimate made yesterday. In a few sections of the State the Populist vote was increased. In nearly every case it Was due to the personal popularity of some Populist nominee. To offset this, however, twenty counties that were Populist in 1894 rolled up Wednesday's average Democratic majorities. X CHAIRMAN JONES FIGURES. He Is "Willing to Give McKInley Electoral Votes. CHICAGO, Oct 13. Chairman Jones of the National Democratic Committee gave out a statement tonight characterizing as absurd the figures showing the probable result of the election as given out by Senator Quay. Chairman Jones states that in all the States classed by Senator Quay as doubtful a complete and harmonious fusion between the Democrats, Populists and Silver-Republicans exists, rendering them certain for Bryan. For the same reason he classes as doubtful the States of Iowa, Ohio and Wisconsin, and claims for Bryan the Electoral votes of Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, North Dakota and West Virginia, all of which were claimed for McKinley by Quay. The table given out by Chairman Jones 279 for Bryan and 87 as doubtful. X REPUBLICAN FIGURES. Forecast Sent Out From Xew York Headquarters NEW YORK, Oct 12. At the National Republican headquarters today, after a conference of the entire executive committee, the following statement was given out: "The election of McKinley and Hobart Is an accomplished and assured fact They will receive 270 Electoral votes. Bryan will receive 10, and there six States having sixty-seven Electoral votes which are doubtful, but the probabilities point to the fact that these sixty-seven votes will go into the Republican column and be added to the 270 now assured for McKinley and Hobart. This is the status today. We have the election and will hold it The opposition has abandoned the East" The statement is signed by M. S. Quay. x REED COMING WEST. He Will Wind up the Campaign lnj California. NEW YORK, Oct 13.Tom Reed of Maine is going to wind up the campaign in California. The trip, he said, contains a touch of sentiment It was in California that he began the practice of law. Reed's Republican friends in California recently showered letters in upon him.

He will be accompanied by his brilliant daughter, Miss Kittie, who says she is anxious to see the place where her father first started to make his fame and fortune. X GOLD DEMOCRATS.

Watson is still confined to his room, and acting under the advice of his physician, Dr. F. S. Harrison. Dr. Harrison informed the Journal correspondent this morning that while Watson was improving his throat was still so bad that under no circumstances could he speak in less thtan ten or twelve days, and that it was very doubtful if he could tatke the sttump again during the present campaign.

Chapman of Moore & Schley learned through Senator Brice today some facts about the political situation in the Middle "Western States he said he would bet $500,000 or any part of it that the Democrats would not carry a State east of the Mississippi river north of the Ohio.

False Rumor About Venezuelan Affairs Big Fire In Guayaquil Rosebery's Resignation Russia's Czar Smooth Politician. Something of Interest to Sugar Producers. NEW YORK, Oct. 14. The Sun's Washington special says: The publication in the Sun this morning of the determination of the Government that the practice ship Bancroft shall be anchored off Constantinople aroused new interest in the Turkish question. Attempts have bqien made to deny the accuracy of the despatch, but without success. The Bancroft has been ordered to go to Constantinople, and as she cannot do THE PRACTICE this without the assent of the Turkish authorities, she will pass the without it These are facts, and White House denials based on technicalities do not alter them in the least. The Bancroft may be and probably will be able to pass the Dardanelles without trouble, but this can only be determined after the attempt is made. Diplomats and public men in Washington apprehend that no serious consequences would follow a bold stroke on the part of this Government, and many of them assert that it the State Department gives a firm and decided notification to the Porte that it proposes being represented in Turkish waters by a guard ship, ho defiant objection would be raised. They have cautiously commended the course as outlined in the Sun this morning, and are confident that if1 the administration cast aside the precedent which has given silent recognition to the Porte's contention that we are not entitled to have a guard ship at Constantinople, and send the Bancroft through the Dardanelles, the way will be open for the European powers to reach a satisfactory conclusion of the Eastern question, whose gravity for some months has come very near upsetting the peace of Europe. Although the plans outlined by the administration and determined upon lately may be modified somewhat to meet emergencies that may arise, it is now its Intention, as it has always been, to send the Bancroft to Constantinople, and she was selected from all the vessels of the North Atlantic station simply because of her size and light battery, and other characteristics which make her conform more nearly to the type and class of ships maintained at the Porte. Administration officials, who are anxious to maintain the administration's policy of secrecy, leave the impression that she was to act as a dispatch boat to Admiral fleet and transport stores from Genoa to the ships of the fleet. To send a war vessel 5,000 miles, however, for the purpose of acting as a transport was a theory advanced that few credited, and at last this evening Private Secretary Thurber admitted that the administration's object in assigning her to the Mediterranean was for the purpose of having her serve as a guard ship to Minister Terrell. He denied, however, that the ship would force the Dardanelles, but thought the necessary firman would be secured to permit her free entry. This is the first acknowledgment made yet by any one competent to speak with authority that the Bancroft's mission is in Turkish waters. This morning the arrival of the Cincinnati at Smyrna was cabled by Admiral Selfridge. Tomorrow the Bancroft is expected to put in an appearance, and then Minister Terrell will be Informed that she Is at his service. x XO DECISION YET. Venezuela Commission Walts fbr More Information. "WASHINGTON, Oct. 14 Secretary Malet Prevost of the Venezuelan Boundary Commission today authorized the following: "The statement that the Commission has come to a decision sustaining the claims of Venezuela in the boundary dispute between that country and Great Britain is entirely without foundation. The Commission is not yet in possession of all the facts necessary to form a definite judgment and will not be until the return of Professor Barr from Europe, about the end of this month. He is to bring with him new and historical testimony, which must be carefully examined before any decision can be arrived at" X FIRE AT GUAYAQUIL. Relieved to Have Been of Incendiary Origin.
