ENGLAND LOOKS FOR INTERVENTION
Speech of Landadown Takes to
that America, Great
lirltala and France Ma?
Act In Matter.
LONDON, Nov. 10. 1:56 p. m. Japan un
ofllclally has made representations to Rus
sia looking1 to peace. Thl action has re
sulted In failure, and such representation,
even privately, are not likely to be re
peated by Japan. Although the suggestion
of a pacific settlement was made unoffi
cially, It actually had behind it all the
weight of an offer by the Japanesegovern
ment. It was made direct to Rubala. No
power acted ss Intermediary.
The proposition was put forward tenta
tively and unofficially, so that the Japa
nese, government would be in a position to
defy any report that It was suing for
peace. The failure of these direct negotia
tions, however, resulted In bringing Inter
vention within a measureable distance.
Foreign Secretary Lansdowne's plea for
arbitration yesterday evening at the Guild
hall banquet Is taken here to be a pointed
suggestion to the United States and France
that ths time Is approaching when the
powers must take some action. It can be
definitely stated that Lord Lansdowne
made his speech with full knowledge that
Japan will not resent a proportion from
the three powers (the United States, France
and Oreat Brttuln) looking to peace.
There is a definite impression here that
the initiative will come from President
Roosevelt, though the action would be
joint, i It Is mooted that Lord Lanadowne
only spoke so openly yesterday evening
because he had good reason to believe that
Jr. Roosevelt, if elected, contemplated
.taking an cltort to bring the belligerents
to discuss terms pf peace.
Will Follow American Lead,
Lord Lansdowne's remarks are held by
those In his confidence to mean that what
ever the United States may do In the mat
ter, Great Britain will co-operate, even In
tho event of France not participating. It
Is known, however, that Ambassador Cam
bon, who continues his work assiduously to
bring about some arrangement, hopes for
joint action by the three powers.
In an Interview regarding the foregoing
Baron Iluyashl, the Japanese minister, said:
said: : . - '
J, I should not be surprised to see the three
pawon nuined, or two of them, take the
action suggested. Juxactly upon what
basis of a settlement ueace could be se
cured It is at present impossible to see, J
out mere is not me sngntest aouut mat
combined representations, especially If led
by- President Roosevelt, would have a far
reaching result between the two countries,
one of which was- thoroughly defeated. It
is comparatively easy to make peace in
this cane, as neither side is thoroughly de
feated yet. The prospects for success of
friendly Intervention have vastly Increased.
Blnce the commencement of the war the
two nations now respect each other to a
degree never dreamed of before they met
In battle. Their mutual respect is the
most hopeful factor fur peace. Japan does
not wuni to go on lighting forever. Yet,
even with all the victories won during this
war. its statesmen would render them
, elvcs liable to . be most seriously mlsun
' derstood. especially In Russia, If they
openly suggested, In the name of human
ity, some method whereby the war could be
stopped. It would be altogether different,
however, at this stage of the war, should
a friendly offer, prompted by that sense
of humanity which Japan cannot voice for
fear of being misunderstood, emanate from
the United fetates and Oreat Britain, but
nothing cun be done until the fall of Fort
Arthur.
Baron Hayashl intimated that he thought
that the fall of the fortress would not long
be delayed and added:
In the meantime I have no doubt that
' the powers who are now so willing to ex
press their desire for peace will con
fidentially exchange views with the hope
of arriving at some suggestion practical
to both belligerents.
Opinion In Hnssla.
' ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 10.-7:25 p. m.
In official circles Lord Lansdowne's veiled
suggestion that the' Russo-Japanese con
flict might be settled by arbitration finds
an unfavorable ?cho. The sentiment pre
vails stronger than ever that Russia's pres
tige must bo vindicated before the idea of
peace can be entertained. The mere fact
that the suggestion comes from Oreat Brit
ain's foreign secretary does not tend to Its
kindly reception here. The firm conviction
is e:prcssed that Lord Lansdowne's tug
gextion could not have been the remit of
an understanding between the British and
French, governments, it being stated that
the Russian view of the situation ls too
well known to Its ally to make It potstbl
that It could have been privy to such a
move. The general opinion is that Lord
Lansdowne's suggestion was In the nature
of a personal trial balloon.
Hopeless aa is the Idea of bringing the
war to a conclusion, It seems, however,
that there are those In high quarters who
consider that there is a bare possibility of
bringing the conflict to a cloBe on the basis
of 'arbitration If such a proposition earn
directly from Japan. Indeed, It Is even In
timated that Lord Lansdowne's suggestion
may have been inspired from Toklu. Rus
sia has announced again and again that no
proposition from an uninterested power
would even be answered, but that any prop
osition from Japan direct, no matter
through what Intermediary, would be con
sidered. A proposal from Japan to arbitrate the
controversy would apieal strongly to Em
peror Nicholas. He Is extremely proud of
being the author of The Hague conference
and lu spite of the difficult position In
which Ruxlan military prestige would be
left by a cessation of hoMlllttos at this
juueture, those competent to judge actu
ally entertain the belief that such aa offer
n the part of Japan now would not be In
vain.
President Awaits Opportunity.
WASHINGTON, Nov. W.-Careful Inquiry
here failed to develop any change within
the laat four weeks In the attitude of this
government towards the far eastern situa
tion. Tnore has been no move officially
that could be construed aa Indicating a
purpose by America to intervene between
the. belligerent. It was stated, however,
several weeks ago by one of the highest
authorities that the president was ouly
awaiting a suitable opportunity to do what
he could to terminate the present war. He

house of the Hungarian Diet, notified Pre
mier Tlraa today that he will Interpellate
the government at Saturday's session of
the house regarding ITcsldent Roosevelt's
proposition to call another session of The
Hague pence conference.
Count Apponyl was especially asked by
the president at the time of the St Louli
peace congress to use his Influence with
the Hungarian government In this direc
tion. The president's election determined
Count Apponyl to press the matter. It Is
stated that a similar interpellation will be
introduced at the approaching session of
the Relchsrath at Vienna.
PARIS, Nov. 10. Ambassador Porter pre
sented to Foreign Minister Delcasse today
tho American proposition for reassembling
The Hague peace conference. No definite
response was made, as M. Delcasse will gd
over the matter carefully with the other
ministers. The tendency In governmental
circles Is apparently favorable to the proposition.

French Capitalists Interested In

SHANGHAI. Nov. 10. The attempts of
the Chinese government to establish an Im
perial bank of China having failed, owing
to the distrust prevalent among the na
tives In regard to entering Into anything
which savors of government control,
French officials and merchants' are ne
gotiating with the Chinese central au
thorities with the object In view of ad
vancing the funds necessary for the pur
pose. M. Chasalon, a retired Shanghai mer
chant, Is representing the Banque D'Parls
In the enterprise, and It Is estimated that
he has expended 60,000 taels In presents to
officials to secure his object. The pro
moters are to start a bank with a capital
of 10,000,000 taels, with the proviso that the
manager and chief accountant shall be
French.
If they are successful In Inaugurating
this banking enterprise Its Influence on
the trade of other countries will be con
siderable, the full extent of which can be
estimated when it is understood that all
moneys of the board of revenue must be
lodged In the projected bank of China.

Demand for Funds.
BERLIN, Nov: 10. A supplementary
budget of $20, 000,000 for the expanses - of
the army In German Southwest Africa, as a
result of th insurrections, will be pre
sented to the Reichstag in December. Even
this cum will embarrass the imperial
finance ministry, which is striving to re
duce the annual deficits and at the same
time provide additional funds for various
public works, and for the army and navy.
The progress In suppressing the native
uprisings appears to be going on measur
ably well. About 1,400 recruits are going
to Southwest Africa, largely to replace the
losses of the commands in the field from
sickness.

Japanese Send Forres Time and
Again Aaralnst Strong! Onter Po
sition of the Enemy With
out Success.
TOKIO, Nov. 10.-10:46 a. m. It Is reported
that General Stoessel, comanding at Port
Arthur, has asked the Japanese for an
armistice, the purpose of which Is not
stated. No confirmation of the report Is
obtainable. It is hoped that General Stoes
sel will capitulate before the city proper
Is taVen. The Japanesasoldlers are angry
and Inflamed on account of the alleged
abuse of their wounded by the Russians.
They believe they will be murdered If
captured. Under these conditions It will
possibly be difficult to avoid a massacre
when the troops meet In the final combat.
2:30 p. m. A report from General Nogl's
headquarters before Port Arthur dated No
vember 9, says:
The enemy's military warehouse Mtuated
In the northern part of Port Arthur whs
bombarded November 6 with heavy siege
and naval guns. The bombardment caused
a conflagration
On the afternoon of November 6 the mag
azine of an old battery on Sungchow moun
tain was exploded by our shells.
8:30 p. m. Manchurlan headquarters, re
porting November 9, says.
On the night of November 8 two com
panies of the enemy attacked our outposts,
but were completely repulsed.
All is quiet in other directions.
Its Mountain Hard to Take.
CHE FOO, Nov. 10. Noon Its mountain,
according to Chinese, 120 of whom arrived
here today from Port Arthur, Is proving a
costly obstacle to the Japanese. On the
mornings of November 6 and fierce as
saults on the position were made by the
Japanese, who were repulsed. During the
second assault a shell soaring over the
other hills from Pallchuang, dropped on
Its mountain and demolished a land mine
controlling the station and exploded other
mines.
The RuRblans were holding the trenches
on the boundary of the mined section. Six
or seven hundred were killed. The Japa
nese not having reached the place, were
unhurt. Its mountain owes the best port
of its strength to the peculiar topography
of the surrounding country, which prevents
a direct artillery fire and does not enable
the Japanese to advance trenches with the
success evident elsewhere.
The Japanese advanced on It In both In
stances from behind distant hills, with tho
fullest force the ground would allow, but
in the long distances which they were com
pelled to traverse in the face of machine
guns their ranks were melted. Both times
the Japanese broke the wire entanglements
In places. One soldier with a leg torn off
was seen trying- to bite the wires.
Caar Inspects Troops.
LOVITSCH, Russia, Nov. 10. Emperor
Nicholas met with an enthusiastic recep
tion today on his arrival here to Inspect
the troops. Receiving a deputation of
nobles the emperor declared bin -eraphatio
belirtf that the bad times -would only serve
to unite the empire In bonds of brother
hood. Reservists Are Riotous.
VITEBSK. Russia. Nov. 10. During re
scrvemen riots here, today the men at one
time cot the better of the police and Cos
sacks and until reinforcements arrived held
high carnival in the city, pillaging the
shops, especially where liquor was sold,
and even robbing pedestrians In the streets
of their valuables. Order was finally re
stored, however, without any sacrifice of
life.
Governor Chepelewsky of Vitebsk has
been superseded for his failure to preserve
order during the mobilization. General
Bchautlotou, vice governor of KovnowlU,
succeeded him.
Assessors for North Sen Court.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 10. The follow
ing have been appointed assessors of the
North sea commission: Lieutenant Colonel

tenant Wolkoff and Dr. Mandelstam, the
latter a dragoman of the Russian embassy
at Constantinople and an authority on in

Admiral Alexleff, viceroy In the far east,
arrived In St. Petersburg this evening. In
anticipation of his arrival the Nevsky
Prospect was crowded wRh sightseers, but
access to the railway platform was re
stricted to officials and newspaper corre
spondents. When a man of short, stout figure and
bronze visage emerged from one of the cars
of the special train which had brought Win
from Mukden he was Immediately rnir

FATAL FIRE IN NEW YORK
Three Persons Burned to Death and
Others Injured la Apart
ment Bouse.
NEW YORK, Noii 10 Three persona
were burned to deathj half a dozen others
were overcome by smoke and saved only
with the greatest difficulty by the firemen
and more than thirty others, after a thrill
ing experience on a narrow and crowded
fire escape, were taken to the street In their
nlghtclothes, in a fire which practically de
stroyed a five-story apartment house on
the upper East Side today. Of the three
victims two were young girls, Blanche and
Lillian Uhlan, 15 and 18 years old. and the
other ww their grandfather, Frederick
Webber, 69 years old. Webber was a help
less paralytic, yet under the excitement of
the fate awaiting him he arose from his red
and made his way to the hall, where hla
body, burned to a crisp, was found.
The Are is believed to have been Incen
diary In Its origin. It started In a mass of
boxes, barnels and broken furniture which
lay plied underneath the stairway leading

forty-five families wate driven from their
apartments In a bis; tenement house on

rushed from their rooms many were over
come. Seven persons were found lying In
a heap In one dark hallway and were
carried out by firemen. On every floor

CLOSE RACE IN MARYLAND
On Face of Unofficial Eeturns Republicans
Have a Slight Lead.
GOVERNOR PEAB0DY ADMITS DEFEAT
Republicans Receive All Other State
Offices la Colorado Except Super
intendent of Public In
struction. BALTIMORE, Nov. in.The official re
turns received here up to a late hour
tonight Indicate that the vote for the pres
idential candidate last Tuesday was very
close, possibly 100 on either side. It Is
probable that Secretary or' State Oswald
TUlghman will be called upon to decide
which of the electors will be entitled to
cast their votes In Washington.
The Board of Canvassers In Baltimore
city and In the twenty-three counties of
the state nut it noon today. In Baltimore
city the votes cast in the Third congres
sional district were counted, but the totals
were not made public. While Congress
man Frank Wachter was admittedly re
elected, the vote on the presidential ticket
is left In doubt.
From tho official returns thus far re
ceived the Indications are that the re
publicans have elected seven and the dem
ocrats one of the electors of tho state.
Returns received from eleven counties of
the state give, the republican electors a
plurality of 174.
Until the canvassing boards of the sev
eral counties and of Baltimore city shall
have examined and counted the ballots
It will be Impossible to say which of the
presidential candidates will receive Mary
land's electoral vote.
There Is no change In the congressional
situation, the democrats and republicans
each having elected three members of
the house of representatives. '
Missouri Is for Roosevelt.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 10. With seven coun
ties still to bo heard from at nightfall, the
returns showed that Roosevelt's plurality
In Missouri stood 15,735. Of the seven coun
ties unheard from six went for Bryan In
1900. They are remote and Bpnrsely settled.
With the returns from nine counties
missing at the same time, Folk's plurality
for governor on the democratic ticket stood
84,883. Figures on the remainder of the
democratic ticket were still lacking. At
democratic state headquarters It was
stated that only one-third of the returns
from the state on the balance of the state
ticket had been received at 6 o'clock. It
was contended that the state ticket might
be defeated. No claims were made concern
ing the complexion of the legislature. In
fact, very, little comment was made out
side of the plain statement that the legis
lature is republican. The long, constant
vigil for election returns since the closing
of the polls two days since had told plainly
on those at both headquarters and It will
be a physical relief to the adherents of
both parties when the last return has been
received.
The following telegram was sent tonight
by Republican State Chairman Thomas K.
Niedringhaus: 1
Hon. William Locb, Jr., Secretary to the
President, Washington, D. C : P'ease con
vey to the president the fact that Mis
souri's electoral vote will be cast for Theo
dore Roosevelt.
Chairman Niedringhaus conceded that
Folk had been elected governor, but stated
that there was not the least doubt but that
the balance of the democratic ticket had
been defeated. He said to the Associated
Press:
The republicans will have a majority in
the legislature on joint ballot of at least
fourteen, and perhaps twenty. This means
the election of a republican United States
senator. The republicans tiave elected
eight congressmen and as the Sixteenth
district Ib In doubt, its returns may show
the election of one more congressman, mak
ing nine In all. We will contest the elec
tions In the Eleventh and Twelfth dis
tricts. Pes body Concedes Ills Defeat.
DENVER, Nov. 10. Governor James H.
Peabody, republican, himself concedes his
defeat. Alva Adams' majority over Pea
body In the city and county of Denver is
6,071 and In the entire state about 10,500.
Republicans still claim a majority for
Peabody in the state outside of Denver,
but this Is nut borne out by the returns,
which are still incomplete.
"On the face of the returns Adams is
elected," said Republican State Chairman
Fairley, "but the official 'count or a con
test may change It to Peabody."
Peabody. was beaten by 750 plurality In
his home (Fremont) county, though it was
carried by Roosevelt by 200.
Mrs. Helen L. Grenfeld, superintendent of
public Instruction, ran next to Adams on
the democratic state ticket nnd may pull
through, but the republicans will probably
secure all the other state offices, though in
sorno cases their pluralities are small.
John F. Shafroth, democrat. Is appur-

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT IS BUSY
Decides to Answer All of the Tele
grnmi nnd Letters of Con
gratulations. WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 Ten thousand
congratulatory messages have been re
ceived by President Roosevelt. Every mall
today brought large numbers of congratu
latory letters. Notwithstanding their
Immense number the president has decided
that each one Is to be answered, and this
work will require perhaps several weeks.
President Roosevelt received today an
undiminished number of callers. Attorney
General Moody, who has Just returned
from Massachusetts, was one of the first
official visitors. He was accompanied by
James R. Garfield, commissioner Of cor
porations, who arrived today from his
Ohio home. Later they will take up with
the president the work of Garfield's bu
reau, concerning which the president will
have some recommcndui:uns to make to
congress in his annual message. The in
vestigation of the beef trust, Instituted
by the Bureau of Corporations at the in
stance of congress, practically has been
completed. The report will be presented
to the president, and it is quite likely
that it will be submitted to congress
shortly after the opening of its session
in December, although the law confer
discretionary power upon the president as
to the publication of the operations of the
bureau. No intimation Is given as to the
nature of the report or what recommenda
tions. If any, Mr. Garfield may submit.
It can be said authoritatively that any
suggestions that legal action may be taken
by the government against the beef trust
or against any aggregation of capital, as
a result of the investigations made by the
Bureau of Corporations, at least are pre
muture. No decision yet has been re
ceived and none will be reached until the
report has been considered thoroughly by
the president and his advisers.
Among others who called to pay their
respects were Senator McComas of Mary
land and Frank P. Sargent, commissioner
general of Immigration. The president and
Senator McComas exchanged congratula
tions on the result in Maryland.
To several callers today the president
expressed his gratification that the re
publicans -had been successful in Missouri,
where a republican victory had not been
anticipated. Commenting on the fact that
the election of a republican legislature In
Missouri probably meant the retirement
of Senator Cockrell, Senator McComas
spoke of Senator Cockrell and his services
to his country and to his state in the
highest praise.' He referred to Mr. Cock
red's usefulness in the state and to his
great and valuable knowledge of public
affairs; to his stainless character and un
swerving patriotism on all crises.

ODELL AND MURPHY TALK
Both New York Leaders Find Cause
for Gratification in Election Re
turns from Empire State.
NEW YORK, Nov. 10. Governor Odell,
chairman of tho republican state committee,
and Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam
many hall, expressed themselves on the
election results today, each finding cause
for gratification. Governor Odell was
pleased over the general result and par
ticularly over the election of Hlgglns, while
Mr. Murphy said that In view of the gen
eral results his organization had done bet
ter than any other part of the country.
Governor Odell expressed his gratification
over the result In New York, especially
In this city. He was asked: "Do you
think that It was the heavy vote for Roose
velt that pulled Hlgglns through T"
"No, I would not put It that way," he
replied, "I will say that Mr. Roosevelt re
ceived a larger vote than I expected, and
while he undoubtedly helped Hlgglns, I
think the latter got the full republican
vote. It Is only to e expected that the
candidate for governor should run behind
the national ticket."
Mr. Murphy sold:
There was absolutely no disaffection In
Tammany. There Is no disaffection and
there will he no shakeup In the organiza
tion. The leaders to a man worked dlll
getnly and loyally for the whole ticket.
Considering the proportions of the landslide,
Tammany did wonderfully well. Manhat
tan and the Bronx gave Parker a much
larger plurality than Bryan got four years
ago. Bryan received about 28,000 In thd
two boroughs, whereas Parker gets more
than 36,000. This Is better than other parts
of the country did.
This shows that there was absolutely no
knifing of the national ticket. A com
parison of the returns here with those In
other parts of the country also proves It.
The reports to me by the district leaders
were very accurate.
CRUISER COLUMBUS AGROUND
Warship Which Is to Convey Secre
tary Taft to Panama Meets
with a Mishap.
PENSACOLA, Fla., Nov. 10. Tse cruiser
Columbia, which Is conveying Secretary of
War Taft and his party to Panama, went
ashore tonight in Pensacola harbor at
o'clock and every available tugboat of the
port la now on the scene, endeavoring to
pull the war vessel Into deep water. The
cruiser was sighted off Pensacola bar Just
before durk and it was not thought It
would , come to anchor until daylight. In
stead, a pilot was placed on board and It
crossed the bar In safety after dark. At
what Is known as Horseshoe bend It left
the course owing to the fact that some
of the ranges had been destroyed by the
recent storm. It Is expected it will be
floated without Injury at high tide In the
morning.
GENERAL STRIKE IS AVERTED
Loeal Dimoulty In Mills of Paper
Trust that Threatened to

NEW YORK, Nov. 10. A strike which
threatened the mills of the International
Paper com pa 1 4" In various parts of the
east has bean averted by an agreement
which was reached between representatives
of the paper workers and tha company
In this city today. Tho trouble directly
settled by today's agreement was that at j
Berlin, N. H-, whre tho company's em- j
pioyea were on sirinc, uui tuauy uiner
mills were Indirectly affected. Inasmuch as

ONLY TEN OPPOSITION IN LEGISLATURE
la Proportion to Total Vote Nebraska
Gives Roosevelt the Banner Plu
rality of Any State In
the Vnlon. '
In the proportion which It bears to the
total vote Nebraska does not take a back '
seat even to Pennsylvania In the matter of
the majority it gave to Roosevelt. With a
total poll In the Btate something over 200,
Onu tho majority Is mounting so high that It
almost makes one diisy. Complete returns
from sixty-three of the ninety counties,
whlrh represents about three-fourtha of
the total vote, his plurality Is 96,439. What
It will be when the returns are alt In la
hardly worth while to figure for the pur
pose of being exact.
. On the gorvernorshlp sixty-eight counties
complete have been received. In theso
Mickey has a plurality bt 6,652. The remain .
lng counties two years ago gave Mickey a
plurality of 1,871, which, It they simply hold
their own, will run his total plurality close
to the 9,000 mark, and .there Is every reason
to believe they will do even better. The re
mainder of the state ticket has a much
larger majority,
Tne entire republican congressional dele
gation la elected, and with the exception of
the Second (Omaha) district with pluralities
In excess of i,000 In each Instance.
The legislature la So overwhelmingly re- '
publican that the few opposition members
will be lonesome. There are only ten of '
them In the house and none In the senate.
