BAY STATE cITY ELECTIONS.
soctaiists Are Defsa.ea h Brockton and L Hayerhiii,

-.. .<.z-s el.-t naverhttf,
 Boston, Dec. 8.--The defeat of the so- cialists in the two cities of the state, Brockton and Haverhill, where they have been particularly strong during the past three or four years, and sew eral changes in the sentiment regarding the sale of intoxicating liquors were the features of the municipal elections held in nineteen of the thirty three Massa- chusetts cities to-day.
 In Brockton and Haverhill socialist mayors who had won last year were again up for reelection, but both were defeated in a decisive manner.
 The republicans were generally suc- cessful in the other cities, although the democrats succeeded in electing chief magistrates in Chicopee, Lawrence and Woburn.
 The surprises in the vote on license were in Lowell, Salem and Woburn. The first named city voted against li- cense last year by 400 majority, while this year 1t went for. license by more than 3,40O. On the other hand, Salem changed from license to no license, the margin being only thirteen votes. and Woburn did likewise by a majority of about 200.
 The following is the list of mayors elected and the vote on license for thls year:

RUSSIAN REPLY TO JAPAN
ST. PETERSBURG RELIEVES
 PEACE IS ASSURED.
Concerning COrea-Japan's PredOmInatIug Influence There With
 Right to Protect Ii, Acknowiedged-A
 Separate Understandings to Cover

Separate Undersiandtng to Cover
 Manchurin, the Question of Evacua-
 Hon to be Lei, in Obeyance.
 St. Petersburg, Dec. s.-Peaee be- tween Russia and Japan is now be- lieved to be assured, as the result of the action of the czar at Tsarskoye Selo, where he and Foreign Minister Lamsdorf have considered the reply to the Japanese proposals. If Japan is willing to accept some notifications there is nothing to stand in the way of a complete agreement.
 The conference lasted an hour and half, during which certain notifications of Japan's proposals relative to Corea were decided upon. These were imme- diately cabled to Baron de Rosen, the Russian minister to Japan, and Ad- miral Alexieff, the Russian viceroy in the far east. The latter will probably lay them informally before the Japan csc negotiators at Tokio. The modifi- cations are said to be of minor import ance. The convention will cover only Corea. Russia acknowledges Japan's predominating influence there, with the right to protect 1t. Certain reserva- tions are made regarding coast defenses or stations in order to prevent any in terruption of Russian sea communica- ton with Vladivostok and Port Arthur, Russia's freedom of trade, and conces- sions which Corea has guaranteed.
 A separate understanding will cover Manchuria, Japan agreeing to leave the question of the evacuation in abeyance and to recognize Russia's special posi- ton and special interests there and ur- dertakes not to interfere with them. Tn return Russia is to acknowledge Japan's trading privileges secured un- der treaties with China. s. sy g. .~
 Exactly what form the latter arrange nlent will take is not known, manifest ly, since it covers territory over which China exercises sovereignty. Probably it will not be made the subject of a treaty, but will take the form of a note.
 If Japan is ready to make the con- sessions asked for by Russia it Is be- lieved that only brief time possibly a few days--will be necessary to reach the final step of the negotiations as Japan's acceptance will be followed by Russia's formal response.
 It Is said that throughout the nego- tiations the czar was actuated by a spirit of moderation and the desire to preserve the peace.

DEATH OF HERBERT SPENCER
ONE OF ENGLAND,S GREATEST
 THINK FRS PASSES AWAY.

ass Heatth ksau been on the WaMe Tor
 Number of Months but HIS TiIness
 Did Not Become Critical but Few
 Bays Ago-Comes Before Darwin as a
 Thinker.
 London, Dec. S.-Herbert Spencer, the famous author and philosopher, died this morning at his home in Brighton. His health had been failing for some months. The illness took critical turn a few days ago, and he became uncon- sciors last night, passing away without pain.
 By his own desire the least possible information was given out during MT. Spencer's illness. He was born in 1920.
 The newspapers to-day all publish long expectations and anecdotes of Mr.. Spencer, whom they universally de- scribe as the Hast of the great thinkers of the Victorian age
 In the death of Herbert Spencer Eng land has to deplore the loss of one of the two or three most influential think CTS whom she has given to our genera ton. For wide and immediate influence Spencer must come before even Darwin. Darwins influence was primarily over technical circles, and the students whom he directly touched perhaps owed as much to his methods and theoretic temper as to his results. On the pub lie" his influence has been remote. Of twenty educated men who think they know all about" Darwinism hardly one has read of it in the original. Spencer's influence, contrariwise, is not only wide, but direct. Thousands of readers who are not technical students know him in the original; and to such readers he has given (what they care about far more than either method or theoretic temper) a simple, sublime and novel system of the world, in which things fall into easy perspective relations, whose eXplana- tory formula applies to every conceiva- ble phenomenon, and whose practical outcome is the somewhat vague optin- ism which is so important a tendency in modern life. In this enormous popular success of Spencer's works the incom- parable superiority of constructive and critical methods is shown.
 Herbert Spencer was born in Derby, England, in 1920. His early studies were under the guidance of his uncle. In 1897 he entered the office of Charles Fox and began work as civil engineer. After this he was engaged for several years on railways. Growing discour- aged with the prospects of his pro- fession, he gave up engineering and en- tered upon newspaper work, becoming, in 1S4S, sub-editor of the Economist. He published his first considerable work, Social statics," in 1850. He then devoted himself to literary work, many of his most important works being re- printed in this country.
