Boulder Narrowly Republican.

Boulder. Colo, Nov. AT mid
night twenty-five of the thirty-five pre-
cincts of Boulder county have been
heard from. The result has been dis
tinct disappointment to the Democrats.
The women have generally voted the
Republican ticket in the cities of Boul-
der and Longmont. The city of Boul-
der has cast $500 votes, which is sew
enty-five per cent. of the registered
vote of the town. The county has cast
about $500 votes, out of a total of 10,-
900 votes to which it was entitled.
At midnight Chairman Ingram OF
the Democratic county central commit
tee comedies the loss to the Republic
cans of the state. legislative and county
tickets by pluralities running from 400
to $50. In this calculation there is no
appreciable difference between the ma
jority of any candidates.
The probable majorities for Mr..
Bonynge and Mrs. Brandt are 400 each,
and for Peabody and the majority of
the state ticket 400. The Socialist vote
in the county does not exceed $50 and
the Populists have voted most largely
with the Democrats. though some of
them have voted with the Republicans.
The Populist vote is almost nil.
The Grit-advocate., 1902-11-07

from the thirty-one different precincts
In the city on the straight votes cast
give the Republicans nearly 900 ma
jority. This will be largely cut down
by the country precincts, which are
nearly all strongly Democratic. In
twelve precincts that have thus far
reported Alva Adams, candidate for
congressman at large, received COS
votes against 903 for Brooks. In the
same number of precincts Stimson
polled 7S5 votes and Peabody 817. Re-
turns from fifteen precincts give New
ton for state treasurer 1,l91 and Car
lille 1,052. From the same number of
precincts Hogg. candidate for con-
gressman from the Second district, re-
ceived $50 and John c. Bell 1,0SG.

Fl Paso Republican by 5000.

Colorado Springs, Colo, Nov. A.
The election here to-day passed off
very quietly, the votes being only 5000
out of 1900 registered on account of
cold. raw wind which prevailed all
day. Early this evening both sides
claimed victory. but toward 10 or IL
o'clock, when the returns Of the
straight votes began to come in, it
was evident to the workers on both
sides that the Republicans would carry
the county.
At first Chairman Bernard of the
Democratic committee conceded a Re-
publican majority of 1000, but later
was compelled to raise his estimate to
little over 1000. Considerable dis
appointment has been expressed over
the fact that Stimson did not run
ahead of his ticket in this county, as
he was expected to do.
Up to o'clock this morning COM
plete returns have been received from
only nine precincts in the county. 1t
is claimed that the entire Republican
ticket is elected by majority of B.

Utah Probably Republican.

Salt Lake, Utah, Nov. 4.-Unoff1cial
returns from practically every section
show that the Republicans have made
almost clean sweep of the state.
Howell for Congress and McCarty for
associate being elected by majorities
of from 1000 to 6.000. The Legisla-
ture, which will this winter elect
successor to United States Senator
Rawlins, will undoubtedly be Repub-
lican by safe majority.
In only one county in fact did the
Democrats make much showing and
that was in Salt Lake, where the
church question and revolt against
the so-called machine cut heavily
into the Republican legislative vote
Two senators and ten representatives
are elected for Salt Lake county, but
even with all these Democratic, which
is very doubtful, the Legislature will
still be Republican.

Cheyenne. Wyo.. Nov 4.-Wyoming
went Republican with an increased ma
jority in the precincts so far heard
from. Chairman Van Orsdel of the
Republican committee estimates that
Mondell's majority will reach 1900:
that Richards has been elected govern
or by at least $500, and that the bal
ance of the Republican ticket has 4,5OO
majority. The legislature will be over
whelmingly Republican. The Demo-
Gratis may have elected the clerk of

Republican Estimate.

The Denver Republican figures out
a plurality of 1856 for Peabody, esti-
mating as follows:
James H. Peabody is elected COVER
nor by plurality ranging fran 5000
to 10000, and the entire Republican
state ticket goes through with him.
Brooks. Bonynge and Hogg, all Re-
publicans, are elected congressman by
splendid pluralities. .....,
On returns received from a major
ity of the counties where the result
was in doubt, Secretary Vivian Of the
Republican state committee based the
estimate early this "wednesday
morning Of plurality outside of
Arapahoe county ranging from 10000
to $4,000. These figures were not the
result of guess work, but we're based
upon largely completed returns. 1t
Elementary returns were received they
nearly always showed further Repub-
lican gains.
On the basis of the county returns
Mr.. Vivian was able to show the
probability that thirty-four of the
members of the House in the next
Legislature would be Republican.
There are siXty-five members in all,
and the presence of thirty-four Repub
licans will mean that the whole Arap-
IoIN <h@
floats, will be seated as elected by
honest Republican votes. With at
least ten of the eighteen state sena-
tors to be elected this time, the Re
publicans will then have majority of
the Legislature on joint ballot. The
Democrats will be able to hold their
stolen senators from Arapahoe coun-
ty and the Twelfth district in office,
but they will have lost the United
States senatorship.
Defective and unofficial returns on
the amendments are on the whole in
clined to show that the whole list has
been lost. The defeat of the Bucklin
proposition by an overwhelming ma
jority is announced at both party
headquarters.
At o'clock this morning the cleo
tion of the entire state Republican
ticket by a safe majority was conced-
ed at Democratic headquarters in the
Brown Palace hotel. Milton Smith,
the state chairman, made pretense
Of claiming the state, but he could
quote no figures to support his claims
and those who had been receiving the
returns declared that they were about
Identical with those received at Re-
publican headquarters.
The Democratic losses were heav-
lest in the counties on which they had
strongly relied. and as the returns
from Teller, Pueblo, Huerfano. Las
Animas, San Miguel Mesa, Eagle and
Lake counties and from northern Colo
RADIO began to come in about midnight,
hope began to fade. At o'clock a
large number of the Democrats left
the Brown and went down to the AL
bany hotel. where they congratulate
ed the Republicans of the county or
ganization on their victory.
Ex-Governor Thomas was one of the
last to give up hope. He sat and fig

 British Sloop of War Condor and Her
 Crew Given Up as Lost.
 VICTORIA, E. C., Feb. 12.-All hope fcx the missing sloop of war Condor. which left here on Dec 2, just before the big storm which wrecked the col Her Matteawa off Cape Flattery, was abandoned with the arrival of the sur vey ship Egeria from trip along the west coast of Vancouver.
 The Egeria went as far north as the Scott islands, off the north end of van- couver island. At Clayoquot, on the west coast, her officers found wreck age from the Condor which shows that she must have gone down or was smashed to pieces by the heavy seas. This Wreckage included a deck grat. ing marked with the broad arrow of the British navy, signal box recog- nized as one from a British warship, sheathing and part of a tepmast It is hardly probable that the ship could have withstood a storm which would wash these articles from her deck.
 The crew of the Condor numbered 130 officers and men. Her officers were: Commander, Clifton Slater; lieuten- ants, B. Mason (navigatcr) and Henry V. F. Proctor; surgeon, T. S. Hartley; assistant paynaster in charge, Will liam H. Franklin; artifcer engineer, George J. Detten; engineer D. 4. R11rnc

TREATY WITH JAPAN.
Great Britain Forms an Important
 Alliance.

Great Britain Forms an Important
 Alliance.
 LONDON, LeD. I2.-An important parliamentary paper was issued last night, giving the terms Of a practical alliance between Great Britain and Ja- pan fer the preservation of peace in China and Korea. The paper covers a dispatch sent by Lord Lansdowne, the secretary of state for foreign affairs, Jan. 30 to the British minister at To. kyo, Sir Claude M. Macdonald, and comprises sig@led copy of the agree ment. Tn explanation the paper says the agreement may be regarded as an outcome of the events of the past two years. Throughout the Boxer troubles Great Britain and Japan had been in close and uninterrupted communication and actuated by similar views.
 We each desire" says Lord Lans- downe, ''that the integrity and inde- pendence of the Chi1sese empire should be preserved and that there should be no disturbance of the territorial status quo either in China or the adjoining regions"
 The discovery that their far eastern policies were identical resulted in each party to the agreement expressing it's desire that their common policy find expression in an international con tract of binding validity.
 Lord Lansdowne further says that the British government was largely influenced in entering upon this ifn-' ho it contains no provisions which can be regarded as aggressive or self seeking. He says it is concluded merely as measure of precaution and that it in no way threatens the present position or legitimate interests of other powers.
 His majesty's government trusts that the agreement will be of mutual ad vantage to the two countries and make for the preservation of peace and should peace unfortunately be broken it will have the effect of restricting the area of hostilities.
 The agreement is signed by Lord Lansdowne and Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minister to Great Britain.
 So well was the secret kept that the paper. issued after parliament had ad- 1ourned for the night, announcing the first important alliance between western and yellow or Asian race comes as a startling surprise to the public, and, although the idea of an al- Iiance with Japan is likely to meet with general approval, the outcome of this sensational departure will be an ticipated with no little anxiety It is regarded as direct move against Rus sia and to explain the abandonment of se colony of Weihaiwei
