The conference closed before 10 to meet
at 10 tomorrow morning.
Chairman Hermann said the conferess
spent the evening in general discussion,
without any motion or action, but that they
seemed to be getting together.
In response to a question he admitted
that amalgamation had been freely dis
cussed, with specific plans for a twelve
club league ana other changes, and special
consideration had been given to contract
jumpers.
It was conceded by all that the conference
would complete its work tomorrow, and
this was generally interpreted as indicating
that the cCnferees were really getting to-
gether on the principal terms that would
enter into a peace agreement. II is even
stated that drafts Of such an agreement
have been drawn up and presented, while
II is known that a number have drafts OF
different provisions that they want incor-
porated into the peace treaty. Although II
was recognized that the conferees have
hnal power 1t is generally understood that
they adjourned sooner than expected to-
night, in order to confer with others OF

The representatives Of both leagues said
that II was by no means time to arrange

ELECTRIC PHENOMENA
MYSTIFY EUROPEANS
Magnetic Disturbances Are Attributed
to Spots on thu Sun.

LONDON, Nov. 1-Scientists at
tribute the magnetic disturbance Of
yesterday to sun spots. The worst
effects Of the phenomena appear to
have been experienced in France. In
Switzerland there occurred a strange
phenomenon. The telephone service
ceased suddenly and remained sus-
pended for half an hour, while the tel
egraphs were rendered useless. In
Geneva all the electrical street cars
were brought to a sudden standstill
and the unexpected cessa ton Of the
electric current caused CONSERVATION
at the generating works, where all ef-
forts to discover the cause were fruit
less.
The meteorological office reports a
magnetic storm, accompanied by au-
rora borealis, in several parts of Ire
land and Scotland. The telegraphic
disturbance was one Of the most ex-
traordinary on record. Late this morn
ing before it had been settled where
the disturbances originated although
Siberia was strongly suspected, slight
seismic disturbances were reported
from the Riviera.
Sir Oliver Lodge and Sir Norman
Lockyer agreed in attributing the
cause to sun spots and an incinsolar
activity, which would also account for
the unusual wet season now being ex-
perienced.

RECOVERING FROM GAME
WITH MICHIGAN
Jimmy" IrsfieId the Only One Whose
Injuries Lasted Over Night.

Although four of the Minnesota play
ers were compelled to retire from the
game in the Michigan game Sat
urday only one of these received in
juries which lasted over night. This
was Jimmy Irsfield, who suffered a
sprained ankle, and he will be in shape
again in few days. Thorpe, Current
and Davies were only slightly injured
and will be ready to resume practice
this week.
Nearly 10000 persons witnessed the
game and the receipts for the day
amounted to $30,993.50. After the ex-
penses will have been paid the money
will be equally divided between the
athletic associations of the two uni
versities. This will mean nearly $15,-
900 for each association.

FOR THE MASTERY
OF THE PACIFIC
Belief That Clash Between Russia
and Japan Must Come Some Time.

TOXIC, Nov. Information from
some Of the leading diplomatic author
tiles shows that the gravity Of the
Russo-Japanese situation has not been
exaggerated in cablegrams from Japan.
There is prevalent, however, strong
desire in Japan to preserve peace if
only that course be made possible.
Without divulging the names Of the
authorities who have stated their
views on the situation, it may be said
that the idea of the existence of a
war party so called, in Japan, is
wrong, and that the emperor, the cab
met and his advisors are all in favor
of an honorable compromise of the
difficulty. But it is argued that the
conflict between Russia and Japan for
the mastery Of the Pacific must as
suredly come and must inevitably
leave greater forthcoming conflict
between Russia and the United States
unless some hating ground Of Rus
sian expansion be found. Japan is
convinced that the first hating ground
should be Manchuria, and, failing that,
that it must be Korea.
There is undoubtedly a strong feeling
in Japan that if Russia be allowed to over
run Manchuria, and also overrun Korea,
the knell of the empire will have been
sounded. Thereupon, while willing to
compromise on a basis for the perma-
nent open door in Manchuria, the reten-
ton of Manchuria by China as an integral
part of her kingdom and the absolute
integrity of Korea, Japan is not prepared
to go further. In the outlying districts
the situation is liable to get out OF hand
and a hostile crisis precipitated at any
time.
In the meantime disturbing rumors of
Russian movements, following n7evacu-
alton on Oct. 8, in defiance of the treaty
continue to unsettle trade.
LONDON, Nov. Cabling from Che
FOO, the correspondent of the Post says
the majority of Russian warships in Chin
csc waters are between Talienwan and
Hayangtao. Three Chinese cruisers left
| Chefoo yesterday for the mouth of the
Yalu river. This constitutes an infringe
, ment of Korean rights.
The ST. Petersburg correspondent of the
Mail says he learns that the Russian
| government does not expect war with
Japan in any event before next spring,
| even should the negotiations fail.
The correspondent at Shanghai of the
Telegraph says he has learned from re-
liable source in Toxic that. although the
negotiations between Russia and Japan
continue Japan is infiexible and a conflict
sooner or later is regarded as inevitable.
