New York, Nor. 7.-Tho returns of
the congressional election received to
day have but emphasized the magni
tude of the Republican victory. Since
last night tho number of Republican
representatives has incrcised from 210,
wltieto then seemed the probable num
ber, to 240, and the Democratic and
Populist ranks shrank correspondingly
in the . reports and the latter almost
wholly disappeared. The rigures show
that tho Republicans wlU probably
have not only a large majority but
moro than two-thinls of the builte.

SKI; Morton’s majority 120,238.
The adoption of me c msl'.tnFon
amendments, of which there is little
question, establishes the following
principles:
Laws authorizing pool selling and
all forms of gambling are prohibited.
Election and registration boards
throughout tho state must be bl-par-
tlsan. '-'I
No public money shall btS granted
to sectarian schools
The legislature >s forbidden to tnret

A tabulation of the returns at pollco
headquarters this morning show llio

lo about 118.000 for and 8J.000 against.
It in evident that a portion of the
voters neglested to cast their ballots on
this question. It is eqtdma'ted that the
tnajortly In New York city In favor of
cbnsolld'iitlon will reach at least 30.909.
The vote in Broklyn Is dose and the
returns not conclusive.
The achemo for the "greater New
York" 'propose* the consolidation under
one city government ot New York and
Brooklyn, the whole of Rlcchmond nnd
Kings counties, portions of West Ches
ter and Queens.
The Whole nrea covered will comprlae
more ithan 371 square miles and the
population of the cities nnd towns will
be only a few thousands short of 3,000,-
000. In the bill which relates to the sub
ject, provision waj only made for the
expression of an opinion on the part of
the people as to the advisability of con
solidation. and this Is what tlho vote of
yesterday means. The consolidation will
not take effect until legislative provis
ion shall have been made upon the sub
jects of taxaitlbn. refunding debts, etc.
An lunawtan-t question settled by the
voters of New York yesterday was that
relative to the underground railway.
The law authorizing the submission of
this proposition to a vote'of the citizens

tee shall within thirty days after the af
firmative vote Is announced take steps
toward the construction of the proposed
route. • The corporation counsel must
approve of all contracts entered into.

Atlanta, Nov. 8.—(Special.)—Elections
and tho disposition of the state's con
victs are the two questions that will
be lending Issues with this legislature.
There Is an unmistakable demand
by the people for both a change from
the preso'nt manner of disposing of
the convicts and the present method of
conducting elections. Already several
bills have been introduced la tho leg
islature oa both of these subjects look
ing toward reform. Committees have
also been'appointed to Investigate tho
situation mid suggest remedies. The
legislature Itself appears to bo united
in the desire for a change, nud tho
prospects Are that there will ho a gen
eral shaking up of the election laws
anil the laws governlug the state’s
convicts, jj
Today Mr. MeMIchael of Muscogee
county introduced a bill which pro
vides for ft' radical change In the elec
tion laws., ■ .Mr. McMIcbdel went iuto
the subject thoroughly, corresponding
with all the various states having elec
tion laws similar to that which be con
templates for Georgia in his bill before
he completed It. The bill provides for
regulations on the order of the Aus
tralian ballot, the voter being required
to single oat (be name on tho ticker
for which-Jto desires to vote lu the
presence of the managers and no one
else. The governor Is luvcsted with
tho duty of appointing a superintend-
ent in eaeli county for all elections, na

The returns from the First Maryland
congreiwtunal dlstrlot are yet Incom
plete. but the Republicans admit that
the totals Willi ImMcwte the election of
Democrats Henry for the short term
and Miles for the fifty-fourth cmwrets.
The Republican gain on the face of the
returns,' will, therefore, be throe con

ond; Charles E. Coffin tn the Fifth, nnd
George L. Wellington In the Sixth.
That the Maryland Democrat* will
have any roprenen-tatlon tn the. fifty-
fourth congress Is not certain, however.
The Republican state committee claims
to havo evidence of the grossest frauds
tn the First. Third and Fourth district*,
and will therefore contest the eeits of
lilies. Rusk and Cowan. It is not Im
probable that the Renubllcans will win
their rase, especially In the Third nml

frauds In these districts aggregate near

an’s oomblnd pluralities are but 1,616.

If tho legislature passes the bill in
troduced today hr Mr. Uusli
M.tdifll, who Is chairman of tlio com
mittee on temperance, Georgia will
likely have a repetition of some of tho
scenes in South Carolina over the, op
erations of the dispensary low, although
It could not bo ns bad here, because
Georgia lias uo lieu Tlllnlmi in tbo
executive chair,
Mr. Bush’s bill provides for tho abo

liquors except by dispensaries. Tim

was referred to tbo tcuipernuco com
mittee.

■"The post mortem exam Imat Ion es
tablished the accuracy of our diagnosis .
—chronic ncpprltls, commencing with
ntropy of tho kidneys, secondary en
largement of (ho heart Hind sporadio .
lnfljmmilllon of tho left lung. The
stomach uus Intact. The stories
ascribing itho Osar’ll Illness to poison
ing ore absolute fictions. I do not con
sider (hat Profemor Zaehartn is In any
w*y to (blame for tho result. The Czar
was perfectly cognizant of bis true
state, but he wus a fatalist, tend gave

Tho Czarina-Is pnostnrwd, but she Is
in -no danger, -and will soon recover."
