Li Hung Chang has been fined a year's ealai'y for visiting the Dowager Empress without the Emperor's sanction. The latest returns give Major McKinley 258 votes and Mr Bryan 153. Mr Bryan carried 12 States, receiving 91 votes in the Electoral College. Major McKinley carried 22 States, receiving 264 votes. American stocks havo risen from three to five points in London. The Eepublicans havo a great majority in the House of Represen tatives, and control the Senate. At McKinley's home there was a tremendous ovation. The London Exchange was greatly relieved by the victory of McKinley, and all the mi rkets have been benefited. By Major McKinley's return a load has been lifted from all the New York commercial houses.

Heavy orders were cabled to Europe immediately McKinlcy's victory was assured. Major McKinley secured 24 States and 277 vote?, and Mr Bryan 18 States and 182 votes. The doubtful States are Kansas, Missouri and North Carolina, but Major McKinley cannot fall below 261 votes, and has the plurality vote of a million and a half. The vote is the largest popular electoral vote since the war, except whan General Grant opposed the tariff and silver policies, and supported in preference the national interest. For the first time in 20 years the former slave States were divided, several voting against the Populist candidate. Tammany Hall was overthrown. The New York newspapers unanimously express the opinion that they are satisfied the " Silverites " wil! acquiesce loyally in the result of the | e ]ection.
