Washington, Nov. 7.—Of the 298 con- gresslona! districts which have been IimiiI from the Republicans carried 18" and the Democrats 111, giving the Re publicans a majority , considerably larger than the most sanguine pre diction of the Republican congression al committee. On n full membership of 386 mem bers, the Republicans have a majority in the present house of 114. The total Republican vote In the present house It *50 and the Democratic 116. Two Vaoanoits Not Filled. There are, however, at the present time eleven vacancies paused by death or resignation, and of these vacancies mo will not be filled. Candidates were substituted In the ‘Twenty-first New York district for the vacancy on the ticket for the sixtieth congress, caused by the death of General Ketcham, but not for the unexpired term. A similar situation resulted in the Third Massa chusetts, caused by the recent death of Rnckwood Hoar. The vacancies in. the present house that were tilled at the electiona of yes terday were three in Pennsylvania, one In New York, one in Indiana, one in California, ono In Virginia, one in Geor gia and one in Illinois. > The election In the 298 districts re ported the Democrats gain as fol lows: Reported Democratic Gains.

Repre sentative Babcock, of the Third Wis consin district, is probably defeated by 380 majority. Bibcock, one of -the most influential members of the house, led the revolt against the speaker last winter on the statehood bills. Defeat Not Unexpected. His defeat will be particularly .felt In the district. Its he has been active in behalf of Washington while chairman of the house district committee. He will probably be succeeded in that po- 'ltlon by Representative Samuel W. Smith, of Michigan, now the ranking member. The defeat of Douglas, nomi nated by the Republicans in the Athens or the Eleventh Ohio district, to suc ceed General Charles H. Grosvenor, was not unexpected In well-informed ■luarters. It has been quietly suggested for some time that the Grosvenor followers were so Indlgtrant jit the retirement of die old veteran that they would knife i he party nominee, no matter how dan- serous that policy might prove. That 'hey kept their threat Is proven by the result in the Eleventh district. Surprissd the Democrats. In the Third Kentucky district the Republicans surprised the Democrats •>>’ electing A. D. James over James Richardson, the incumbent, who was elected two years ago over Ills Republi can opponent by only 100 votes. This district was confidently claimed by the Utmoc.-atr, and conceded by the Re publicans. The result in tbs Ninth Kentucky district, where Bennett, Re publican, saved his seat, was as much ’>f a surprise to the Republicans as to 'he Democrats. Dennett was elected 'WO years ago by but 64 votes, and the Democrat* made desperate efforts to fieri their candidate. Mr. Bryan was ■nvlted to speak there, but owing to '"her engagements could not do so. lie ' rote a lettey appealing to tho voters i o elect Kehoe. In New Jersey the Democrats msdo a kiln of one seat and held the Demo- TO THE PUBLIC. The Schlesinger-Meyer Bak ing Co. recently established a new plant to make bread by a new process as far as purity and cleanliness are concerned. Quality of material is the pri mary consideration. The most skilled workmanship only is employed in the baking. Cleanliness is given an equal consideration, for without it purity cannot exist. The largest and best equipped bakery yet established in the South was constructed. A thoroughly modem plant was installed in a big, clean, airy, well lighted building. The finest machinery to be had was purchased. The most ex pert bakers obtainable were employed. The product of the bakery is known as UNCLE SAM BREAD. In the baking of Uncle Sam Bread every process of sift ing, mixing and kneading is done by machinery. Nothing is concealed from the public. The factory is open and in spection is invited. The loaf, which sells for 5 cents, is larg er and weighs more than any other 5 cent loaf on the mar ket. A large majority of the leadinggrocers sell Uncle Sam Bread exclusive of all other bread. You will find a list of them published on this page. The bread is delivered to these grocers fresh from the ovens daily. When you buy bread, as you must, insist that your grocer supply Uncle Sam Bread. If he hasn’t got it be sure that he gets it. When the bread comes look for the label—it’s on every loaf. Your physician will recom mend Uncle Sam Bread. These Grocers Sell Uncle Sam Bread: A—Autln, II. Is., 19 Ilnyden street. Alkou, E. O., & Co., 491 Peachtree •treet Adamson & Son*, 302 Decatur atreet.

Women In fright tried to throw themselves overboard. Men attempted ti^ lower the life boats and were kept back only by the strong arms of the crew. The accident waa the result of a mis understanding of signals. The two vessels were In the abort channel of the East river at Hell's Gate when the Maine tried to cross tho bows of the Maryland.

There were twenty-one applications for whisky and beer licenses. Three were reported upon favorably by the special committee and three were granted licenses by council. The re mainder of the applications brought forth adverse reports, and council sus tained the action of the committee. in a number of Instance* there was opposition. The strongest vote secured by any of th« turned-down applicants was that of Steve Moore. He got six votes out of the twenty that were cast. It was night when council adjourned Tuesday, after a session of the entire afternoon that day. and the entire aft ernoon of tlie previous day.

Savannah Ga, Nov. 7.—The feature of the meeting of the South Georgia Turrentine Operators' Association was the fact that practically every naval stores factor in the city lined up sol idly behind the association In its ef forts to control the labor situation in this section. The operators have not heretofore had the unanimous backing of the factors, and it was on this ac-, count that they had some fear* of the success of their movement. President i W. G. WarnelL of Hagan, Tattnall county presided over the meeting. The meeting was attended by more than! *"venty-flve of the leading operators of j the stale. Washington, Nov. 7.—Because of their rallure to disclose the identity of some of their number who had been guilty of murder and violence while etatlone.i at the army post st Browns ville, Tex., President Roosevelt ha* or dered ths dismissal. In disgrace, of an entire battalion of negro troop*. The action of the chief executive is unpre cedented In tbe history of the United States army. The president has also ordered an In vestigation which may result in the court-martial of Colonel William T. Pitcher, of the Twenty-seventh In fantry, a white officer, who 1* charged with casting a slur upon the negro troops. Garllngton Mad* Recommendation. The order regarding tho dismissal of all the negro troops composing compa nies B, C and D, of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, was the result of a recom mendation made by General Garllnc- ton, who investigated the acts of the negro soldiers while at Fort Brown on the night of August 13. 1906, when shots were fired Into tho homes of cit izens, one man being killed nnd the chief of police so badly wounded that he lost an arm. The negroes arc to be disbarred from re-enllstlng in the army nnd navy of the United States, as well as from em ployment in any civil capacity under the government. • Negroes Wouldn’t Tell. When the acta of the troopers ware reported, the president ordered that the men In the three companies tell who had been guilty of the disorders. None of them would tell, nnd so the Innocent will be made to suffer with the guilty. General Garllngton. in his report of the affair, stated that the dlsniltooil of the troops should be a forceful lesson t>* tho arms’ ."t law, ami .-hiliv i„ non-commissioned officers that l heir duty does not cease upon the drill ground, at the calling of company rolls, making check Inspi-.qi.uis and .aii..r duties of formal chnrncter, but that their responsibilities of ofilce arcom- pany them everywhere and at ail limes. People Must Be 8sft. He added: "Moreover, the people of the United States, wherever they live, must feel assured that tho men wearing the uni form of the army are their protector* and not midnight assassins or riotous disturbers of the peace of the commu nity in which they may bo stationed.” Regarding the alleged criticism hy Colonel Pitcher, It Is stated that on Oc tober 6, 1966, a squadron of the Ninth cavalry, an organization of negro troops, reported at Fort Sheridan, near Chicago, under orders from the war de partment assigning them to duty there, and that soon after their assignment Colonel Pitcher waa quoted In the pa pers as making tho following state ment: Pitcher's Alleged Criticism.
