He had no comment to niake on the result and went directly to the Whito House, where it was stated that prob-ntly prob-ntly he would not break his silence concerning political affairs until alter hi.-, return lroni Panama, whither he starts tomorrow. Disappointed as is I lie? President at the loss of the house of representatives represent-atives to the Democrats, his political fdvisers are pinning I heir hopes to the fact that a three months' session of the present Republican majority l:i both branches of congress Is about to begin.
