WAKHINOTO.v, Nov. 17.—The Star says; A numlier of the wiser heads in the Demo cratic party arc counseling against any ef fort to hold a smr.ll majority in the house. It is umhmitood that Keuators Beck and Gorman think that the party would be bet ter in minority, and with the ent ire responsi bility upon the Republicans during the next congress t ho Democrats will have a much better chance in tlie congressional campaign two years from now. The idea of organiza tion against the admission of new states into the Union t hey are said to regard as unpop ular and likely to be hurtful. It would be better f , the Democrats themselves to un dertake tue admission of some of Uio terri tories this winter. It is said that the presi dent bas expressed the opinion that it would be unfortunate for the Democrat« to hold the house. It is entirely probable that The Star's figures, based on return* several days ago, will turn out to be correct. The Repub licans will have four representatives in Cali fornia, three in Connecticut, all but two in Michigan, one in West Virginia and three in North Carolina. Taulbec'» district in Ken tucky may have have gone Republican. This would make the Republican majority about seven. At the Republican headquarters they re fuse to giv» the figures, merely claiming a majority.

Prominent officials iu the war department and at the headquarters of the army place but little credence in tlie story that l.ouu young Kansans will invade Oklaho-ga on the February next.

This I mans war to the knife between the racing clubs and the bookmakers' associa tions.

Ijniy Mnnntmorrli Faints After Testifying Itefor. th. Parnell Commission. IaiNDON, Nov. 17.—The sessions of the Parnell commission were rosumed.

Sir Charles Russel star tel to cross examine her, but site fainted, ami the ex amination was discontinued. A constable named Drummond state) that the people refused to assist the police in in quiring into the murder. He attributed the killing to tlie hostility of t he people to tho conduct of Lord Mountmorris ns a magis trate and his attitude on tho land question. After objection from Sir Charles Russell tho court allowed the counsel far The Times to Introduce evidence os to outrages in Kerry. ___ Albany's Itasclmll Scheme. Albany, Nov. 17.—Tho mooting of besc hall enthusiasts arranged for last evsning was not very well attended, and those who did appear wore disposed to bo cautions in their manner of procedure. It was decided that unless $5,009 could be raised over and above the cost of the international franchise it would not te advisable for an Albany syn dicate to toko hold of it with any expecta tion of success As the meeting of the In ternational association next week leaves but a short time for the workers to raise lbs re quired amount, it was deemed bast to adopt another plan for immediate action. This plan consisted in authorizing the «Milling of a letter to President Day, of the New Y ork League club, with an offer of the grounds, free of charge, on condition that te would put tho late Jersey City team of New York colts in Albany as a member of the Interna tional league. Journalistic Humor.

Whose stock is it that he is thus offering! That is a question .that can only lie an swered one way yet. Mr. Halstead has de clare*! that ho does not want to go abroad ns a foreign minister.

ECHOES OF THE ELECTION West Virginia Uncomfortably Close and Doubtful. THE LATEST AHOl'T CONGRESS. Majorities for All Candidate« Very Small In West Virginia mid May C3« W ay—Content « Inevitable—Survey of the Political Field. Mittler CHARLESTON, W. Va., Nov. IT.—West Virginia is stilt enveloped in a mist of doubt, w hich can only be dissipated by the official count. Except on the electoral ticket, Un vote is so close that [yrinqw 10U votes will be the margin of difference between the two juirties on the slate ticket, and in the three congressional districts in dispute—namely, the First, Third and Fourth—the majorities will not aggregate 100. There seems to he no doubt about the success of the Democratic electoral ticket. Official and other reliable data received by the secretary of slate from about one half the state (mint to this result by a majority ranging from Ht»» to 1,000, On tbe state and congressional tickets the trouble arises from the absence of reliable returns and the difficulty of procuring them in advance of the official count. Ail con joctures based on data thus far received make the result close. The Republicans claim Goff's election by about 200 majority, bused on data already received and on Hie estimated vote of the counties not yet re ported. Thu majorities given out and pub lished since election day are inaccurate, un reliable and misleading, and this applies to the majorities reported on loth sides. It is upon such incomplete data and tvxm such altered figures that claims are lue* si for the election of Goff and Fleming, reapoc tively, as well as for the election of the three Congressmen in dispute, Secretary Wader expressed the belief that Fleming is elected by about 11KJ majority. This lielief is founded ou an examination of the certificates now in hand and on answers from county officials charged with the custody of the sealed packages. 8o far as errors and mistakes in computation have lieeu discovered, the result has not 1 veil affected, us these are about equal Decretory Walker described tbe pres ent situation when be said: '■While I believe Fleming will bo elected by about 1ÜU majority, y B t it is not improba ble that when ail the returns are in they may show a .mail majority for Goff. The official count will alone determine the result. Neither candidate will have more than 150 majority." The recount that has been demanded in several counties will delay the official ascer tainment of the result in Hie state and in Ilia congressional districts, but'decretory Walker believes that by Tuesday the successful cau didates may lie named. In this congressional district the result is as much In doubt as that for governor. The candidates ore McGinnis, Republican, und Alderson, Democrat. The returns from a few of ths counties composing the district have been received, and from some of them a number of precincts nra not repsir'.cd in any form. Both sides claim the victory, but by so small a majority Dial either may be overturned by the official count. The same is true of the Ninth district, in which Smith is the Republican and Jackson the Demo cratic candidate. Whoever may bo success ful in these two districts are likely to obtain certificates on less than fifty majority, ac cording to present estimates, and no mutter to whom certificates may bo issued, there are indications that the candidates declared defeated will make a contest in the bouse of house, V ls issued tho following list, carefully revised, and believed to bo gleaned from the most reliable sources: representatives.
