SEVERAL DISTRICTS AMONG THE DOUBTFUL 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 defeated. republicans are There claiming is that Fisher slim is also a very chance of saving Thompson's district in California. It looks, therefore, as if the republicans Their majority will is organize slender the next aud house. a one, it will not he a smooth matter for tln-m to get things in working order. It is ex¬ pected, though, that as soon as they can - get to work the elections committee will know what to do, and it can be safely predicted that or ten democrats will lie ousted from their seats in order to give the republicans house. a comfortable majority in the next The following table will show just how the thing stands, according to the infor¬ mation received in this city. The elec¬ tion of Atkinson, rep., in the first West Virginia is disputed, is credited but in the the table repub¬ be¬ low the district to licans.

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.

SENTENCED FOR LIFE. Mr*. Robinson, tlie Murderesi, Receives a Commutation from Death. Boston, Nov. 14 —[Special.]—Mrs. Sa¬ rah Jane Robinson, Massachusetts’ noto¬ rious female prisoner, will not hang, but 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, No instance is cited in- our criminal annals of all original sentence of this character ever being pronounced.
