Congressmen are beginning to come back to asumgton from tbe scenes of Tuesday's battle, and they are not backward In giving reasons for the Democratic victories. Senator Sherman reached the city yesterday afternoon from Kew York. "The women did it," was his laconic reason for the tidal wave. "They found the prices higher when they went shopping, and the men bad to vote against the tariff bill." Senator Barbour, who is a member of tbe Democratlo National Committee, says tbat very little money was used In the campaign. 'It gratifies me," be says, "to know that this was not a mercenary campaign, that It was not a bought verdict which the people of tbe country rendered." In answer to a question whether he thought tbe success attained by the Democracy to be permanent.

Senator Barbour said: "So far as the two great Issues the McKlnley bill and the force bill are concerned I think the great American jury has decided for all time. The silver bill seems also to have been a chisel which cut Into the Republican ranks. It looks to me also as if for tbe first time In our recent American politics tbe agricultural population has come to tbe front. I do not mean tbe Farmers' Alliance, as an organization, bnt I mean tbat the Southern and Western farming people have asserted their own individualities as it were they have organized into a great army for battle. It also appears to me as If tbey had carried the laboring element with them." "Do vou mean that the laboring element Is not so unanimously in favor of tbe protective theory as tbe Republicans have insisted?" was asked.

'My Idea Is that this protective party made their elephant too big. A fair tariff would have suited tbe country better. in people regard the McKlnley bill as a monopolistic measure and as a promotive law wnicn cute ne off from the rest of the world. The Senator thinks it not at ail unlikely tbat the next Democratic nominee for Vice-President will be from tbe South. He says that tbe Republican Senators will not attempt to pass tbe elections bill.

commissioner lnompson oi tne civil serv ice Commission says he believes tbe fact tuat the South Carolina Legislature will be largely comnosed of Alliance men does not fore shadow Senator Hampton defeat for re election. He believes Senator Hampton will be returned. Ex-Senator McDonald of Indiana says that he thinks tbat a strong effort will be made in the short session of the present Congress to repeal the McKlnley law. The Result la Kansas. Tofeka, Nov.

Kellogg for Attorney- General because both Alliance and Democrats combined on him. Humphrey's plurality over nuts win be between 0,000 ana 7.000. The Alliance has elected two-thirds of tbe State Legislature, and tbe defeat of Ingalis for the Senate Is al most certain. The State Senate, which is solidly Republican, holds over. The succes sors to Senator Ingalis, so tar named, are P.

Elder of rant I in coanty, formerly Lieu tenant-Governor; Judge W. A. Pepper, editor ui iuo auiuiu in in rr 1 rn. j. 11.

vmuiiciu of the Slate University; John G. Otis, Congressman-elect from the Fourth District, and John IF Willlts. the defeated candidate for Governor. It has been noted that only three lawyers have been elected to the Legislature, not enough to form a jnillclary committee. The returns from representative districts are still Incomplete.

L'p te noon to-day tbe reports show tbe Legislature to stand as fol lows: Alliance, 71; Republicans, 29; Demo crats, 10; in doubt or net heard from, 15. Tbe Republicans cannot secure over 35 represen tatives. In tbe holdover Senate they have 38, making a total of 73. It requires 83 on joint ballot to elect. 1 The Repub licans claim that two Democrats and several Alliance men will vote for Ingalis, but this is not probable.

Chairman Buchanan of the Republican Committee does not yet concede Iniralls' defeat, but roanv tt the Rermbllrnn managers do not hesitate to say that there is no hope for bim. Chairman Chase of tbe People's party (Alliance) said this morning mat meir returns snuw mey nave nnaouot eaiy elected eixnty-nve members of th House, which will elect tbe next United States Senator. He says that John F. Wiilits. tbelr defeated cand idate for Governor, will be their choice ana win oe Mr.

W. Perkins, gives his opponent Ben J. Clover, 908 majority. This insures Perkins' deleat by upwards of 4,000. Two years ago Perkins had a plurality over Eaton (Dem.) of over 12,000.

Hon. J. McCue as formerly pre dieted by the Post-Dispatch. is elected Judge of tbe Eieveutb District by majority upwards of 3,000. His majority lu this county is 126.

The Alliance candidates have pluralities in tbe coauty ranging from Wlllets for Governor, 275, to Ives, for Attorney General, 9u6. Alt three of tbe Respresen- tatives to the State Legislature are anti-Ingalts. instead of two to one as heretofore reported. The Democrats and Alliance peo ple are wild with joy. What Mlssoariana Say.

Washington, D. Nov. 8. This morning's train from tbe West brought back to the Capital many of the Government officials who went away to vote. Among those from Missouri who returned sadder and wiser men were Gen.

George bhlelds. Assistant Attorney General, and Maj. J. G. Brock, Chief of tbe Bureau of Statistics.

Tbe former, like the boy who had to go through tbe graveyard at night, was whistling to keep up his courage, yet said that things would come around all right in 1892 for the Republican party. Maj. Brock attributed the wbolesale defeat of bis party to tbe want of a clear understanding ot tne McKinley bill. Prlcee bad not gone op he said among the merchants of Missouri, tor he had talked with some of tbe leading ones and found tbat goods were being sold cheaper to-day than ever before. In St.

Louis he said tbe Republicans should have elected their Congressmen, and tbe defeat et the Republican nominees la tbat csty be attributed to tbe dissatisfaction occasioned by boseista and the disappointments growing out of the distribution of Federal patronage, lax.

Dublin, Not. 8. Balfour left Gweedon yesterday ana went to Letterkeuney. where he had a long interview with the Catholic bishops and received deputations of prominent citizens, who came to ask railway extension. Mr.

Balfour said in a speech that the present Government's period of office would be looked back on as an era of efficient publio works In the poor districts. He received an address at Oniagh, and when a number of Nationalists cheered forGladstone andO'Brlen they were attacked by Unionists and a Scrimmage eDsuod, In which the Nationalists were suppressed. When the racket was over Mr. Balfonr thanked the people for their reception. He then went to Portadown, where he made a speech, promising some time in the future to make a speech on politics.

In the meantime he thanked them, for he said that no matter what other people had misjudged their work the people of Portadown had not. Tbe Chronicle holds that the amazingly friendly reception accorded to Mr. Balfour in Ireland forces the conclusion that theParnell- ites do not represent the Irish people. The Journal "If Mr. Balfour is satisfied with his tour of Ireland so are the Nationalists, and also the people whoee hands will be permitted to dip into the money bags of the Treasury.

The bribes offered have proved too much for a priest in one place and Gombeen man (local usurer) in another, but they will not affect the Nationalist cause. Mr. Balfour's performance hoodwinks nobody." The Jrisk Times says: "Mr. Balfour's tour shows that the people minds are bent upon practical affairs, and that the vast masses are in sympathy with trade rather than with politics." The British Parliament. Loxdon, Nov.

8. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday to decide whether the right of closure should be exercised during the coming session of Parliaments The Mluisters ob ject to allowing tbe opposition to talk much, as the Conservatives have nothing to gain from a further debate of the Issues before the country. The Liberals and Nationals will propose an amendment, to the Queen's address, asking that Parliament be dissolved. At other times this would bring a long dis cussion of tbe past and future policy of the Government, but now. the amendment will simply be voted down.

The announcement that the Government proposes to follow the land purchase bill with a scheme for Irish local government has aroused much alarm among tbe so-called Irish Loyalists, and protests are pouring in on Lord Salisbury and Mr. Balfour against any extension of local or diminution of Imperial authority. Canadian Grain Export Trade. Ottawa, Ontario, Nov. 8.

Prof. Saunders. Director of the Dominion Experimental Farms, has prepared a report to tbe Dominion Government on the effect of the McKlnley law upon the Canadian grain export trade with tbe Cniteu states. He found that in spite of the McKlnley bill there have already been considerable shipments of 6 rowed bar ley. Tbe price obtained is 15 cents less per bushel than before the passage of tbe bill, but as tbe duty has Increased 20 cents per bushel.

tbe producer does not pay all tbe cost. If this la the state ol affairs Immediately after the bill going into effect whan the American market is In a non-receptive state.it is evi dent that when things are settled down better prices will be secured. One firm made two shipments of rowed this week to the United States, one of 20,000 and the otber 12,000 bushels. Tbe prices obtained were 55c for No. 1, COc for No.

2 and 45o for No. 3 extra. Ho thinks it clear that barley can be sent to the United States at a fair profit. The present prices for good first quality 2-rowed is 65c, aud 60o for a second quality. These prices are not considered to be poor, and are not such as ever to kill the growth.

He says there is a good demand In the United States for 6-rowea barley for distilling purposes. Last year shipments were made for the first time. They were in two lots of 20,000 bushels each, and as both were made by the same parties, tbe one several mnnths later than the otber. it is clear that satisfactory prices must have been obtained.

Yesterday morning A. Nickerson. aged 25, and his wife, 29 years old, drove to Pushaway Lake, seven miles out, and taking a canoe paddled across to tbe vicinity of some deer yards. In a few hours Nickerson paddled back, and in great excitement ran to a hunting camp, requesting the people to go to the canoe. They did so, finding In the bottom of tbe boat the lifeless form of Mrs.

Nickerson. Lifting the blanket they saw a horrible sight. The top of the head was blown from tbe body, with the brains spattered about tbe bettom of the anoe. Nickerson tells the following story: Reaching the opposite shore they started along tbe bank, getting a shot at one deer. he rifle belnar discharged by the wire, she placed tbe rifle in the end of the canoe where she was sitting and assisted her husband in paddling.

Competing Steamship Lines Will Cease Their Speed Contests. New York, Nov.

8. Ocean races apparent ly do not pay In the long run, and in addition to which they are coming to bear a similitude to the fruit the Italians sell at fruit corners this season of tbe year. An arrangement bas been entered into by the Inman and White Star Lines by which tbe weekly races of the Teutonic and City of New York will cease after Jan. 1. In March the Inman steamer City of Paris will resume her place on the line, the 'teutonic ana City ol Aew loru ana the Majestic ana city or pans sailing against each otber.

Ocean races are expensive, too. For the sake of beating another vessel in does not pay to drive a great ship at full speed against heavy head seas. so tne two lines nave cried truce and after Jan. 1 a fast ship of each line will leave Liverpool on alternate wedaes days. It will not be a perfect alternation, of course, until the city or fans is in commit sloa asain.

By this arrangement the Inman Line will got the mail on Wednesdaye when ber fast steamers leave port. It Is an amicable arrangement satisfactory to both companies Tbe Inman Line have already issued their new schedule based on tbls arrangement, but al though that of tbe White Star Line has been made up, it Is held at the oflioe here under instructions from the otber eide of the water TO THE DEATH. Particnlars of the Encounter Between Ken tackiaas on Election Day. Lexington, Nov. 8.

The full particu lars of the election day duel in Estill County have reached this olty and show that the en counter was one of tne most desperate ever itnessed in Kentucky. The principal parties engaged in tbe affray were Dr. P. A. Lilly, son of Judge H.

Clay Lilly, who gained a national reputation by trying tbe mountain desperadoes of Kentucky, ana joua Wilson, uommissloner of tbe common scbools of Lstnl. Lilly was Republican and Wilson a Democrat. The trouble began when Lilly brought a colored man up to tbe polls to vote. Wilson challenged bis vote and some worus then passed tween the hot-headed Kentucklans. Both drew their revolvers and beitan tiring.

Lilly fired first and Wilson was shot twice in the retrion of the heart before he shot Lilly. Grant Lilly, a brother of one of tbe principals, interfered and was shot by ilson. While both men were down weltering In blood the duel continued. Lilly got out bis knife and. crawling to Wilson's side almost buried it in his body.

Wilson had just euouh strength left to strike Lilly over the bead with his revolver. Lilly died a few mln utes later and Wilson lingered until the nex day. A telegram received to-day states that Grant Lilly Is also dead. DEVOURED A BABE. A Newfoundland Dog Attacks nnd Kills Child.
