ELECTION RETURNS.
Taft Will Have Over Three Hundred
t % Electoral
Vrotes.
Washington, November 5.?Following
is the complexion of the electoral
college:
States for Taft?California 10; Connecticut
7; Delaware 3; Idaho 3; Illinois
27;- Indiana 15; Iowa 13; Kansas
10; ;Maine 6; Massachusetts 16;
Michigan 14; Minnesota 11; Missouri
18; Montana 3; New Hampshire 4;
New Jersey 12; New York 39; North
Dakota 4; Ohio 23; Oregon 4; Pennsylvania
34; Rhode Island 4; South
Dakota 4; Utah 3; Vermont 4; Washington
5; West Virginia 7; Wisconsin
13; Wyoming 3. Total 319.
States for Bryan?Alabama 11;.
Arkansas 5; Colorado 5; Florida 5;
Georgia 13; Kentucky. 13; Louisiana
9;, Mississippi 10; Nevada 3; Nebraska
8; North Carolina 12; Oklahoma
7: South Carolina 9; Tennessee 12;
Texas 18; Virginia 12. Total 156.
In doubt?Maryland 8.
New York, Nov. 5.?The membership
of the electoral college which
iWll choose the next president of the
United States remained in dispute
? . . when the official counters in Maryland
tl; ' abandoned their task for the night.
According to the best information obtainable
the best proportionate num/'
bers of Republican and Democratic
electors will be det rmined by a division
of Maryland's eight votes. Half
of the city of Baltimore and two of the
23 counties outside of that city
*V are still to be counted, but there is a
strong indication that the State's vote
will be split. In any event the marfc".
gin of victory will be so small that
5jfv the State was claimed to-night by the
8?~vA leaders of both parties. In 1904
^ Maryland elected one Republican and
^ seven Democratic electors.
Missouri appears to be safely for
Taft, to whom the latest returns give
a plurality of 300, with the prospects
that a few final districts will double
Kj or triple these figures.
Conceding Missouri to Taft and
leaving Maryland to be split, between
him and Bryan, the figures show 319
Republican electors assured and 156
SpO; Democrats.
Latest congressional returns indicate
that the next house will be composed
of 216 Republicans and 175
Democrats?a majority for the Re?
publicans of 41.
The returns for the Socialists and
Prohibitipn parties are still far from
complete, but indicate that the hopes
s.v. of the Socialists have not been re- 1
alized and that the Prohibitionists in
certain sections where gains had been
expected have been disappointed. The
figures for the Independence party
are also insufficient to give an accu-y.
rate idea of what the party accomplished.
Summary of Results. i
Washington, November 5.?Election *

jgf In Missouri Taft leads by 479 on
p|-7 incomplete returns. Hadley (Rep.) =
S&'i" governor, by 15,173, and Democratic

Arkansas?Bryan 26,t/00.
Mississippi?Bryan 49,000. =
Alabama?Bryan 57,000.
Louisiana?Bryan by 48,894.
H'>: . Missouri for Taft.
jSt. Louis, November 6.?Returns
compiled by The Republic to-night
give Taft the electoral vote of Missouri
by a plurality of 2,182 over
Bryan. These returns are complete
from all but three of the 114 counties
of the state and include estimates
based on partial returns from the
missing counties. The Globe-Democrat
places the Taft plurality in excess
of 3,700.
According to The Republic's figures
the presidential vote polled in
Missouri in Tuesday's election was
19,274 higher than that polled in
1900, which was the high mark.
Taft's vote is but 628 behind the Bryan
vote of that year, and complete
returns from the missing counties will
probably send it ahead of the Bryan
vote of eight years ago.
The plurality of Hadley (Rep.) for
governor is now placed at 17,651 and
complete returns from the 3 missing
counties will probably show that
he had polled the highest vote ever .
cast in the State for any office,. ;
The legislature is now thought to
be Democratic on joint ballot by
four votes.

Thrilling Experience of Jack London
and His Wife.
Melbourne, November 4.?News has
just come to ban 1 by way of Sydney
of a remarkab> adventure experienced
by Jack London, the American
novelist, and his wife, during a cruise
they are now making in the Pacific.
Mr. London's yacht, the Snark, it
is stated, became disabled some weeks
ago, and as the pieces of machinery
required to reequip it had to come
from Sydney, the vessel was laid up
on the island of Guadalcanal Mr.
and Mrs. London subsequently decided
to board a labor-recruiting vessel,
"the Minota. After joining this boat
the novelist and his wife were carried
; one night into the Mallua reef, which
is close to the dreaded cannibal is!
land of Malaita, the gory doings of
whose inhabitants outvie the wildest
I fiction.
j According to the story told to the
! Sydney press by the officers of H. M.
jS. Cambrain, Sjr. and Mrs. London
i were stranded on the reef for two
idays and two nights, during which
J time they were surrounded by the
| canoes of the hideous man-eaters.
1 The novelist was fully armed, as were
i the crew of the Minota, but the savages
were so treacherous and numerous
that watch day and night had to
be kept to avert siirprise and a hideous
death.
j The safety of the party during the
I ; time taken to refloat the Minota was
I more due, however, to Mr. Caulfield,
one of the few missionaries in the
Pacific who have influence over the
natives of Malaita. Mr. Caclfleld induced
the mission boys to form a
bodyguard for the protection of the
Minota's passengers and crew.
Eventually the Minota was made seaworthy
again, and the peril disappeared.
,
. Hand Cut Off.
Jonesville, Nov. 5.?Mr. Ed Littlejohn,
a prominent planter of this section,
suffered a serious injury Monday
morning, his hand being caught in
the machinery of a gin and severed
from his arm. The accident made
- ' - 1? i i.
amputation or tne arm just auuvc mc
elbow necessary* The operation,
which was performed by Drs. W. O.
Sduthren, H. T. Hames and M. W.
Chambers, was a complete success
and Mr. Littlejohn is now doing very
well. /
When the accident happened Mr.
Littlejohn was attempting to remove
lint cotton from a gin. His hand in
some way-was caught in the machinery
and cut off, his arm also being
terribly lacerated.
/ ?
, Store Burned at Parler.
Elloree, Nov. 7.?The store of the
Dantzler-Irick company at Parler, together
with its entire contents, was
destroyed by fire Thursday night
about 12 o'clock. The building was
;a two-story frame structure and the
j fire had gained too much headway
! before it was discovered for those
i wSrt fnne^ht the flames to rescue any
j of the contents. A trusty colored
j servant slept in the second story and
I he barely escaped with his life. The
1 origin of the fire appears to be uni
known, but it seemed to have caught
, in the first story.
The concern conducted a general
j merchandise business and bought
| cotton and had been in business
about three years, succeeding the
late C. C. Williams.
The postoffice was located in the
burned building and its entire fixtures,
which had been recently installed,
together with all the stamps
i on hand and forms, were destroyed.
J The loss is estimated at about $6,1000,
which is partially covered by
| insurance.
j Raid Costs Three Lives.
t .?
Birmingham, Alabama, November
7.?A raid on an alleged "blind tiger"
tonight cost three lives, and one
mortal ininrv. Policeman Little,
Mr. Womack and a child of J. W.
Harris were kiiled, and J. W. Harris
was fatally injured. The raid was at
Third avenue and Eighth street Policeman
Little and Jones had gone ;
to" the suspected place, - which is a
private residence. Jones remained in
front of the house while Little
knocked at the back door, and when
Womack, who was stopping there,
opened it and saw the officer, he began
firing. The officer returned the
fire and both were killed. Harris,
who owned the house, heard Jones
coming from the front, and when he
also began shooting the officer returned
the fire. Harris was fatally
shot and his child was struck. by a
stray bullet. It is said that the occupants
of the house were just sitting
down to supper.
Fire in Orangeburg.
Orangeburg, November 7.?The
biggest fire in point of area and in
the number of buildings burned that
Orangeburg has. had in years occurred
here to-day at 9 o'clock, when ten
four-room negro tenement houses belrknorinor
*r? Mr. R. Wannamaker
wv ?
i were totally destroyed. The houses
were located near the Coast Line depot
on both sides of a court, and as
access could be had by the fire department
only from one end of the
court, only four were saved, there
being fourteen in all. The loss is
about $4,000 with no insurance.
Several months ago Mr. Wannamaker
had a fire loss of over $1,200
without insurance.

Democrats Gain in Indiana.
Indianap lis, Ind., Nov. 4.?A radical
change in Indiana's representa
tion In tne national nouse vi ici?csentatives
is the most striking feature
of yesterday's election. The latest
unofficial returns, complete, give the
Democratic party eleven members
and the Republicans two, a gain of
seven members for the Democrats.
Taft carried the state for president
by about 8,000.* Thomas R. Marshall
and the entire Democratic ticket will
probably be elected by a plurality ot
about fifteen thousand.
The state legislature will probably
be Democratic, which means a Demmocratic
successor to Senator Hemenway
will probably be chosen. In this
connection, the name of John W.
Kern is mentioned.
