A List of Districts as They at Present Ap¬
pear—A lie-Apportionment of Dis¬
tricts Anticipated — Dako¬
ta’s Chauce* Good.
Washington, Nov. 14.—The indica¬
tions now are that the Republicans will
probably control the next house of rep¬
resentatives by a majority of from three
to five. Since last night's advices it has
been learned that Kendall, dem., is cer¬
tainly defeated by Browne, rep., in the
first Virginia district. Seymour also
telegraphs from Connecticut that he is
defeated. That is another loss for the
democrats. The worst news that came
to-day was that Day, dem., had been de¬
feated in the Kentucky district now rep¬
resented by Mr. Taulbee. All of the
early returns indicated Day’s election,
but the-result in the mountain counties
showed his defeat by a majority of sev¬
eral hundred. For several days the dem¬
ocrats have been conceding the defeat of
Simmons in the second district of North
Carolina, but the latest news from the
tar-lieel state is to the effect that Sim¬
mons is probhbly re-elected by a small
majority.
There are only three districts which
have not been definitely heard from.
These are the North Carolina district re¬
ferred to above, the second California,
and the tenth Michigan. If the demo¬
crats cau secure all three of these dis¬
tricts, they will have one majority in
the house. Jf the republicans secure all
three of the districts, they will have
three majority. The probabilities are
that Fisher, dem., is defeated in the
tenth Michigan. He has been repeated¬
ly telegraphed to by democrats in this
city to know whether or not he was
elected. He has not replied to any of
these dispatches, and the inference is
that lie does not know at this time. The

BROOKLYN STREET CAR STRIKE-

Brooklyn, Nov. 14.—A strike involv¬
ing 700 employes of the Green Point and
Lorreman street, Nostrand avenue and
North Second street horse car lines was
ordered this morning, after a night ses¬
sion of the employes to consider the
grievances against the management.
The men ask the reinstatement of dis¬
charged employes, and unless the de¬
mands are conceded there is a prospect
of a general tie up on all the lines of the
city.
William Horne, chairman of Street
Car assembly 32, says that the employes
of the above lines have too long endured
ills and grievances, and that in this pres¬
ent struggle, to gain their rights, all the
fraternity will stand by them.

Commutation from Death.
Boston, Nov. 14 —[Special.]—Mrs. Sa¬

her fate will be hardly less terrible. It
took tlie governor and his council over
two hours to reach a decision this after¬
noon. The result was a surprise to every
one, for it was quite generally believed
that the death sentence would be exe¬
cuted. Tlie commutation provides for
the woman's solitary imprisonment for
life in the state prison. Only one other
case of this extreme kind is recorded in
the state's history, that of Jesse Pomeroy,

President < leveland is busily engaged on
his annual message and received no call¬
ers yesterday.
A prominent Washington official who
from the nature of his berth is presuma¬
bly acquainted with the President's plans,
was interviewed by an American Press
Association reporter to-day. He said:
••The president in his message, which
he began as scon as he knew the result
of the election, will once more vigorous¬
ly summon congress to its duty to reduce
tariff taxes in the face of the growing
surplus.
•‘While 1 have not read even such por¬
tions of the forthcoming message as
have been campleted, 1 have every rea¬
son to believe, from the care and assid¬
uity with which the president has pur¬
sued the work, that it will Ik 1 a most
remarkable document.
•• The secretary of the treasury will
echo the demand of his chief for tariff
reform, iu his annual report, at the same
time reviewing tlie fine financial course
of the administration. Secretary Whit¬
ney will tell what the administration has
done for tin* new navy, and Secretary
Vilas will tell the story of its reforms in
the Indian and tlie public land depart
ments: while the postmaster general
will describe the improvements in the
mail service, which give including the quickest the new fast
mails service
ever known letween the east and west
and north an 1 south.
“All the annual reports will be' so
framed as to give succinctly the history
of tho first democratic administration
since the war.''
The president's future (dans are still
undetermined. It is believed that he
will spend one or two years traveling in
Europe, which he has never, visited.
Mrs. Cleveland, through the division
of the Folsom estate in Omaha, is an
heiress in her own right, and is probably
worth not less than half a million dol¬
lars, in addition to her husband's com¬
fortable fortune. Both Mr. and Mrs.
Cleveland would prefer a few years of
foreign travel as House a pleasant experience rounding off
of their White before
settling down to tlie quiet or everyday
life, and for this reason the European
trip is regarded as among the strong
probabilities. Col. Lamont. has already been

stated, will locate in New York in the
employ of a life insurance company, at
a salary of at least $10,000 a year.

the heavens than was ever before
made. All of the great observatories in
both hemispheres are enlisted, and to
each has been allotted a definite share of
the work, to which its energies are bent
with all the resources at its command.
The Harvard observatory lias chosen to
devote itself to photography, and its la¬
bors in this field have been crowned with
unusual success, though Prof. Pickering,
the director, who is one of the most
modest of men, will not admit it.

turned, at the head of his hand, from the

of rum for the embroidered scarf.
“Drake further says that Stanley’s
body was taken off and hewn to pieces
in a horrible fashion; and was then left
to rot and decay in the open."
