CONGRESS IS The Election of The Ref York Practica '[PUBL ICANS CARRY THE HOUSE. te 'urhere Was Little Excitement in the eclection of Tuesd.y and Results ishow Few Surprises. t e Tuesday's election passed off quiet ly in all sections cf the country. The a latest returns obtainable indicate that, d the republicans will have a small ma jority in the next Congress. though the dcmocratic gains have becn heavy. : New York secms to have gone republi can by a small majcrity. The South went solidly democratic. The votin- t was light everywhere. NEW YORK Ncw York, Special.-Alhough the f 1:nogfizal reports n:om the State appar- c ently showed Odcli's election by 19,70 8 plurality, Mr. Coler. his Dembcratic op ponent. refused to ec:n ede defeat. de- r ciaring that he v:lshed to have the offi- r cial count. Mr. Cojer's statement was r followed by a rather sensational an nouncement from Socretary Mason, of the State Democratic cmmittee, that he refuseI to concede Odell's election; that fraud had robbed Coler of many c votes up the State and that Senator t Hill and Chairran Campbell, of the State commitice. v:ould come to Nw York this Evening to decide on a plan o action. About the time these state ments aeared a r::or was circu lated that Co:er intende4 to make a contes't in the coart:. and simultane- t ously the Evening Journal issued an e::tra e:tioJn, declaring that former Senator Hill, Cha~lo, F. Murphy and Hugo MeLaughiin claimed Ccler's ele- i tion. Thls re:;ort, togethcr with the d statements mde~ by Mr. Coler and See retarv Mascn. have raused considei- t able e:citcmcnt in the city. Mr. Coler's statement folcws: "I think peisonally it would be a - good thing to wtcn the official count ( up the State closely. Suppose the Dem ocratic ticket had reedived say in the ! neighbcrhood of 150.000 majority n c Greater New York. there was nothing I to have stopped the Republicans from t claiming the upper section of the State t by 200,000. What the Democratic party C needs up the State is tried a-d true V material who will look carefully after 1 the party's interests. I don't mean by anything I have said either last night or this morning that I in any mannera ccnceded the election of my opponent. . I want to wait for the official count,v for my latest advices are that the vote is very close. I am hopeful of receiv ing today news that will put a newI complexion on affairs in this State." John A. Mason, of the State commit- I - tee, .speaking for the committee, issued y the following statement: "We concede e nothing. Odell's election is simply a i claim. We will not admit his election s until every defective ballot or alleged e lbefective ballot has been scrutinized. f and every vote that of right belongs to e our party is counted. The alleged de fective ballots uncounted for the Dem ocratic ticket by Republican inspectors are more than enough to elect Coler. We have evidence of wholesale de- t bauchery and corruption in Orange, I Oneida and Albany and Erie counties, t and in the cities along the New York Central Railroad. The defective bal-i lots and the chicanery practiced on the three judicial districts where thec Republican State machine bent every i energy to elect Attorney General Da vis is alone sufficient to change the result. We shall contest every foot of ground." David B. Hill and Frank Campbell will be at State headquarters this I evening and a meeting of the State committee will be held either this even- t ing or tomorrow and a plan of action t will be formulated. Col. Dunn, chairman of the State Re publican committee, when informed to-t day of the report that the Democrats y threatened to contest the election, said: "If they start anything of that kind ' we will give them all the contest they t want right here in New York county and they will wish they had never heard of contests." . The revised figures for Governor are r as follows: Odell 133,836; Coler 123,038; t Odell s plurality 10,798.

The tetical advantages of the establish nt of the reserve are set forth clear in it ,and are summarized at its con sion. President Roosevelt, in trans tteng the report, said that with thos iclusions he fully agreed, and in ad ion wrote: "he report of the Secretary present4 final results of an investigatior :horized by the last Congress.

A~t the meeting last Saturday a heville, N.

Inasmuch as th rests and the soils which these far ts protect in the Southern Appalach 1 mountain region serve as a natura servoir for the storage for the wate jich falls in excessive rains in thi gion, this convention asks the co-op ation of senators and representative Congress from the Western State securing the passage of the Appa ~hian Forest Reserve bill now befor ingress as an extension to thes utheastern States of the great polic; natural water storage by the gov ament, which has already wisel; en Inaugurated in the West.

A WOMAN GIVES HER EVEDEN She Would Have Spoken of Incident at Once, but tier H Persuaded Iier Not to Do So. New York, Special.-The grea sensation in the second trial of Ro' B. Molineux, charged with the mud of Mrs. Adams, came late Thurs when Mrs. Anna Stephenson, the, i of a Brooklyn policeman, was called the stand by the defense and testd positivoliy .that Molineux was not ?,an who mailed the now famous.po on package at the general posLodifc the -y-vening of December 2%, 1 rhen the witness partially ide Harry Cornish, who was ask ed stand up in court, as the man Wh she saw standing in front of her the line at the postofice and ho his hand a package addressed Harry Cornish, Knckerboc ir.Club That was all she saw. Her dentifican tion of Cornish was not positive. She! said he icoked vcry much like the manx, The witness' account of her mover inents on the evening of December 20 and her reason for not appearing a the first trial were given in detail. Tre o prosecution on cross-examinatioi brought out the fact that Mrs. Stephen son had suffered from attacks of a vous prostration within the last tw years and had carefully read the de tails of the former trial. The qu. of the assistant district attorney ten ed to show that an effo-t would be" made to prove insanity or delusion. It. is also said that an effort will be male to prove an alibi for Cornish. Mr%.'-' Stephenson was on the stand when. ' court adjourned. When court opened Thursday David N. Carvalho, the handwriting ex who was on the stand when adjourn-U ment was taken last nieht, resumed: his place in the witness chair. He said he did not believe that Molineux wrote the poison package wrapper or any of the disputed writings, and in detail ex plained to the jury his reasons for his' cpinions. As soon as the direct examination of Carvalho was completed Mr Osborre,.:', assistant district attorney, made an- - other attempt to get the "Barnet diag nosis blank" in evidence, but JustTe" Lambert declined to reverse his -nler ruling excluding it. The so le "diagnosis blank" gives the mere ments and other data of a man ing from a trouble the patent medicine venders, to whom the blank was ad dressed, guyanteedo curSj WIjen the tech Pa U t examination of th witn was -in ed counsel asked Carvalho if he ha&d compared the disputed writinlgsaWithk and Rudolph Helles, both fw have been sh!own inteigeste#. case. Carvalho said he had. "Did Cornish write the address on. the poson package?" asked :Mr. .Os borne. "He did not," replied the expert wit ness with out heistation. I"Did Heilers write it?" "No, sir." "Mr. Carvalho," said ex-Governor f. Black, "you answered a question here . -as a physiologist. You were asked whether you thought a man when writ- s ing an address on a poison package would disguise his writing and you re- ' -plied "Yes." Let me ask you another Iquestion. Do you think a man sending . ra poison package to himself would write the address at all with his own hand?". Mr. Osborne objected and the court. declined to let the witness answer. , -After the recess seven witnesses tified that Molineux did not write the Spoison package address. These it rnesses were Clarence Foote. David W. -Torrey, Sampel H. McDowell, and Geo. Duncan, handwriting experts from Sbanks; E. D. Bushnell,.who was chair-~ , man of the Knickerbocker Ajhletic Club house committee, and had' seen BMolineux write; Prof. George Golday, i Sof Princeton University, who had cor respondence with Molineux, and Sam uel Pittinger, cashier of the New York Athletic Club. Louis Jacobson, who worked in a Ne~w York store, testified that he knew -Cornish and Mrs. Rogers well, and that She frequently saw them together. He said he had sold bromo-seltzer to Mrs. -Rogers, Cornish, in his testimony, swore he had never tasted bromo seltzer and Mrs. Rogers said she had never bought any of the stuff.
