DENVER, Nov. 6.—There is no change in the figures previously Elven out from Colorado, except that the election for gov- ernor is in doubt. 0" It will be close, and an official count will be necessary. Connecticut. HARTFORD, Nov. 6.-'—Revised returns from every town in the state show that McKinley’s plurality is 54,142. He has 110,326 and Bryan has 56,184 votes. In 1892 Cleveland’s plurality was 5.363, so that this year’s vote indicates a Repub- lican gain of 59,505, not exceeded in pro- portion by any state in the Union. Cooke, Republican, for governor, has a majority of 44,340 and a plurality of 52,- 398 over Sargent, silver Democrat. Bryan carries but three of the 168 towns in the state, Newtcwn, New Fairfleld and Naugatuck. . The 24 senators are all Republican by pluralities ranging from 800 to 5, 100. The house will stand 220 Republicans to 30 Democrats, with two ties, Marlbor- ough and Branford. The Republican ina- jcrity on joint ballot will be 214. The pluralities on congressmen are re- makab‘le: Henry, First district, 16,842; Sperry, Second, 13.632; Russell, Third, 7,609; Hill, Fourth, 15,080. Delaware. WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. 6.—McKinley's estimated plurality in Delaware is 2,600. Tunnell, Democrat, for governor, has 2,800 plurality, and Handy, Democrat, for congress, about the same. The legisla— ture is in doubt. J. EdWards Addicks carried Kent county, but both parties claim the Sussex legislative ticket. If Addioks has Sussex, he will control the legislature and may be elected to the United States senate. If he loses its, the Democrats will have the house. The Democrats carried the legislative ticket in New Castle county. McKinley carried all three counties—Kent by about 400, Sussex 500 and New Castle 1,650. The constitu- tional convention will be Republican by a small majority. The city ticket in New Castle is Republican, and they also elected a sheriff in Sussex. Indiana. INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 6.—Sixty counties, including Marion, show a not Republican gain of 26,918. The Republican majority in the state cannot fall below 20,000. Kansas. TOPEKA, Nov. 6.——-The Bryan candidates for electors have apparently carried this state by about 4,000 plurality, although the Republicans still claim the state by a small plurality. The state ticket is in doubt. The legislature will be controlled by the Populist fusionists, and a senator of that stripe will be sent to succeed Sen- ator Pefi'or. Four, if not six, Populist fusion representatives have_becn elected to congress. WICHITA, Kan, Nov. 6. -—The following dispatch has reached Wichita: Place guard over county clerk’s oiiice to pre- vent stealing returns. We have elected our entire ticket. A plan to rob us of our victory has been discovered. Prevent the steel in your county at all hazards. Full particulars by letter. JOHN W. BREIDENTHAL. J. MACK Lovn. J. W. TURNER. Messrs. Breidenthal, Love and Turner are state chairmen of the Populism-Dem. ocratic and silver Republican committees, respectively. Kentucky. LOUISVILLE, Nov. 6.-—With two whole counties, Leslie and Knott, and 12 pre— cincts missing, Bryan has a plurality of 218 votes in state, but many of the returns are unofficial, and it seems highly prob~ able the state board will have to decide the result of the two missing counties. Leslie is Republican and gave Bradley 716 majority; Knott county is Democratic and gave Hardin, Democrat, over Bradley last year 349 majority. The missing precincts are distributed about equally among Dem- ocrats and Republican counties. Three missing precincts in Bellaire are strongly Republican, two precincts in Clay are likewise, one in Letcher is Republican, one in Grant is safely Democratic, as are one in Pendleton and three in Henderson. According to present totals, the following by congressional districts is the most re- liable news yet at hand: First district, Bryan, 12,568; Second, Bryan, 5,991; Third, Bryan, 182; Fourth, Bryan, 2,737; Fifth, McKinley, 12,275; Sixth, Bryan, 3,631; Seventh, Bryan, 943; Eighth, McKinley, 2,405; Ninth, McKin- ley, 442; Tenth, Bryan, 1,214; Eleventh, McKinley, 11,926; totals, Bryan, 27,266; McKinley, 27.048; Bryan’s plurality, 218. Chairman Roberts still claims the state for McKinley by 1,000, and Chairman Sommers claims it for Bryan, but gives no figures. He claims to have returns from all missing precincts. The complex- ion of the congressional delegation is four Republicans and seven Democrats, as fol- lows: ' ’ First district, C.’ K. Wheeler, silver Democrat; Second district, J. D. Clar- dy, silver Democrat; Third district, John S. Rhea, silver Democrat; Fourth district, David H. Smith, silver Democrat; Fifth district, Walter Evans, Republican; Sixth district, A.

Fitzpatrick, 'dil‘v'erDemocrat; Eleventh district, David G. Colson, Republican. Maryland. BALTIMORE, Nov. 6.—-Maryiaud com- plete (unofficial) gives McKinley 32,291 plurality. In 1892 Cleveland's plurality was 21,130, showing a Republican gain of 53,421. Massachusetts. BOSTON. Nov. 6. —'Complete returns from this state, though unofficial and sub- -ject to revision, give the following votes for president and governor: Bryan, 102.,- 655; McKinley, 267,787; Palmer, 11,510; McKinley’s plurality, 165,132; In 1892 the total‘vcte was: Cleveland, 176,813; Harrison, 202,814; Harrison’s plurality, 26,001. The complete vote for governor gives Prince 13,674; Williams, 101,097; Wolcott, 256.282; ~Wolcott's plurality, 155,183. ‘ Michigan. . DETROIT, Nov.

LOUIS, Nov. 6. —'I'he result in Mis- souri is close. The Bryan electors will, however, get a plurality. This city gives McKinley a plurality of 17,000. Kansas City gives McKinley 1,560 plurality. Five hundred and fifty-eight precincts outside of St. Louis and Kansas City give Bryan 14,347 plurality. The returns are coming in very slowly. Nebraska. OMAHA, Nov. 6. -—Although the returns are fragmentary and may remain incom- plete for two or three days, enough is known to warrant the conclusion. that Nebraska has been carried by Bryan and the fusion state ticket, with majorities ranging from 5,000 to 6,000. This is con- ceded by Republicans. Holccsnb, fusion nominee for governor, will run from 800 to 1,500 lower than Bryan. It is noticeable that the Repub- lican strongholds have all shown a very decided falling ofl, while the Democratic and Populist counties have not only held their own, but in many cases have exceed- ed their strength of two years ago. The defections in the Republican congressional districts will defeat four out of six Repub‘ lioan candidates for congress. From the returns thus far received, it is manifest that the fusionists will control both houses of the state legislature. Nevada. CARSON, N ev., Nov. 6.-—Returns from small outside precincts are coming in very slowly. All, however, give Bryan and Sewall large majorities. Newlands is sure to be returned to congress and Jones to the senate. Silverites will have a major- ity in the legislature on joint ballot. New Hampshire. CONCORD, Nov. 6.—-All but 13 towns and wards in New Hampshire give Mc- Kinley 54,733; Bryan, 20,233; Palmer, 3,243; Bryan and Watson, 351; Lovering, 521; Bentley, 54; Matchett, 62; McKin- ley’s plurality, 34,500. The missing places gave Cleveland 206 plurality in 1892. For governor, Ramsdell, Republican, has 46,- 648; Kent, Democrat, 26,807; Berry, Pro- hibition, 800; Barnard, National, 176; Greenfield, People’s, 245; Action, Social- ist-Labor, 244; Ramsdell’s plurality, 19,- 341. ’ For member of congress, First district, Sulloway, Republican, has 23,512; Nash, Democrat, 13,070; Sulloway’s plurality, 10,442. Second district, Clarke, Repub- lican, 24,994; White. Democrat, 12, 739; Clarke’s plurality, 12,255. The Repub- licans elected 280 members of thehouse of representatives, the Democrats '70, and tWo places voted not to elect. Those plu- ralities are the largest ever secured by the Republicans in this state. North Dakota. FARGO, Nov. 6.—Only four counties in the state have been completely canvassed, but they are good indicators as to which way the election will go. Kidder gives McKinley 70 majority, Cavalier gives Bryan 510 majority, Traill gives McKin- ley 1,018 majority, and Ramsom gives Mc- Kinley 199 majority. Cass county will give McKinley 800 majority, 300 more than the Republicans estimated. Johnson, Republican. for congress, will probably win out by a small majority. Fusionists now concede the state for McKinley by from 1,500 to 2,000 majority. Ohio. COLUMBUS, Nov. 6.—-Chairman McCon- ville of the Democratic state committee claims McKinley’s plurality will not reach 50,000. He claims the election of 5 Dem- ocratic congressmen, and probably 6. Chairman Kurtz of the Republican state committee says the Republicans elected 16 and the Democrats 4 congreSSmen, with the result in the Twelfth district between Watson and Lentz still in doubt. Chair- man Kurtz has complete returns from 86 of the 88 counties and compared them with last year’s vote, when the Republican plurality was 92,000, after which he made the following statement: “Eighty-six counties Show Republican gains of 12,450, Democratic gains of 50,- 632 on the pluralities of 1895, a net Dem- ocratic gain over 1895 of 38,182, leaving a Republican plurality this year of 54,440, with two counties, Morrow and Stark, unreported. These two counties may re- duce the plurality about 1,500, leaving McKinley’s net plurality 52,940.” Oregon. , ' PORTLAND, Or., Nov. 6.——Practically complete returns from all but five remote counties in Oregon give McKinley 39,148, Bryan 35,992; McKinley’s plurality, 3,156. Returns from five remaining counties cannot materially change these figures. South Dakota. MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 6.—A special to The Journal from Yankton says: The state of South Dakota will go for McKinley by somewhat less than 600. The legislature is fusion by about 20 votes on joint ballot, which means a Populist senator to suc- ceed Kyle, Populist. Andrew Lee is elect- ed governor. Tennessee. N ASHVILLE, Nov. 6.—Full returns from 60 out of 96 counties indicate a plurality for Bryan in this state of about 20,000. The legislature is Democratic and has one negro member. The Democrats have sure- ly elected seven representatives in congress and may have elected Moon in the Third district, giving them eight. The Repub- llcaus claim that the official count will be required to decide between Taylor, Democratyand Tillman, Republican, for governor. ' MEMPHIS, Nov. 6 —-Advices to The Even- ing Scimitar from Knoxville state that Tennessee shows large Republican gains and will give McKinley and Tillman plu- ralities of about 25,000 or 30,000. c—n. Washington. SPOKANE, Wash, Nov. 6.—Every coun- ty in Western Washington has given Bryan a majority, the average pluralities in the different counties being: Adams, 100; Douglas, 30; Whitman, 200; Kitties, 150,; Garfield, 94; Columbia, 66; Walla Walla, 95; Yakima, 325; Stevens, 1,200; Azctin, 300; Okanogan, 500; Lincoln, 100; Frank- lin, 100; Spokane, 2, 500; total, 5,760.

Nothing to no Compared with Pure Jam Says an Expert. “What is the best codes in the world. and where data it come from?” one of" his companions asked of the commer- cial tourist- “Java,” was the laconic answer. “But we read in novels about the heroes or heroines sitting down to a cup of the fragrant Mocha, and the term is used with an air of assurance, as much as to say that when it came to coffee there was but one kind and that was Mocha. What is Mocha?” “Mocha. is mostly a tradition and wholly a fraud,” declared the expert. “There is no coffee grown about Mocha but there are“ Indian coffees shipped from Mocha. The peculiarity of the Mocha of the trade is that it is com- posed mostly of round berries instead of flat berries of the more perfect cof- fees. These round berries, or pea ber- ries, as they are also called, are simply ill~grown, imperfect fruit. Most of what is sold for Mocha in the stores is made up from the imperfect berries which have been sorted from the mild coffees of Mexico and Central America and Santos coffees. In some stores you can buy the genuine Mocha, and when you get it you are worse off than if you have the imitation.” “There are two things which people imaginé’ are guides to the goodness of coffee which are really of no conse- quence whatever. These are:_ The color of the decoration, and the aroma of the coffee when tt is ground, or as this escapes from the coffee pot when drawing. The color is due almost on- tirely to the roasting. This is true also of tea. The finest coffees and teas when properly roasted and prepared to give out their finest flavors will color the water but little. The real es’sences which give the flavor have practically no color. “The public seemingly knows but little of what the real taste of coffee should be. It confounds the bitter taste of the roasted vegetable matter with the entirely dissimillar flavor Of coffee, and learns to like this so much, that it insists on having the cofiee roast- ed so highly that any flavor of coffee which it might have had is driven off. As to the aroma, that is the true essence of the coffee. The reason that this is no guide to the quality of the berry is that there is just as much of this es- sence present in the rankest colfees as there is in the mild ones. Your nose would be as delighted with the aroma from a lot of fresh roasted Rio coffee as it would with the finest Java. In the coffee flavored cofiees there are oils present which Spoil the extract. These oils are more or less volatile, and many of these coffees are improved by keep- ing them stored in hot places, such as mdor the root in lofts, for five or six years. J ava does not need this.

A Thief Had Thrown the Machine into the Sea. . , Among the residents of Bermuda, says the Boston Transcript, are two brothers, one of whom, besides being an- enthusiastic yachtsman, is also a swift and skillful rider of the bicycle. Some time ago, shortly before the date » set for a bicycle race in which he was to be one of the contestants, his wheel mysteriously. disappeared, and all ef- forts to find a trace of it proved fruit- | less. One day, about fourteen months af- ter the bicycle had been presumably stolen, a fisherman who was angling out in the middle of St. George‘s Har- bor for floating fish, hooked a large one, which instantly plunged into the depths of the harbor in a vain cu- deavor to escape. The angler played with him for a while, and then, feel- ing the line tighten in his hand and the strain become steady, began to haul up. He soon realized that he had at the end of his line one of" the heaviest catches he had ever made. and that it was apparently almost a He hauled away, how- water not only the fish that he had booked, but a bicycle, round the han-S H dles Of which the fish, in his efforts to escape, had wound the line a numfi ; j ' claimed she had" chronic Bright’s} ‘ Dis- ber of times. When the astonished fisherman had, sufficiently recovered from his amaze- ment at his curious catch, he took the bicycle ashore. There it was soon identified as the one which had so in- explicably disappeared. Strange to say, the machine, in spite of the fact that it had been at the bottom of the harbor for fourteen months, was put in running order again. The Chair was Safe. It was at one of the many delightful afternoons given by Mrs. Cleveland at her residence on Madison avenue, New York, shortly after she had stopped temporarily from her position as first lady of the land. Among the furniture in :that puritanical looking drawing room where she dispensed a charming hospitality and won the favor of the ex- clusive set in New York society, was a specimen Of those tiny gold painted chairs that are ever warning you they are not meant to be set upon, but which are so dear to every woman’s heart. A friend of mine tells me that on the oc- casion in question he was about to sit upon this one, when, as his aVoirdupoiS was considerable, he looked around for a. chair more suitable to his dimensions. Mrs. Cleveland noticed the movement, and with a graceful command said: “Oh, don’t be afraid; all the furniture in the house is made for heavy peo- Plea” This good natured reference to her husbandis adiposity evoked a. smile from the gentleman, and, as every stout man thinks the other man is stouter than himself, he felt a. sense of security in_accepting the proffered seat.——Wash- ington Post.
