cHlNA's DOOM SEALED.
Russia and Japan Have Agreed and
 Will Carve Up Empire.

Russia and Japan Have Agreed and
 Will Carve Up Empire.
 Washington, Nov. 4.-Advices to the state department force Secretary Hay to believe that the partition of China which his diplomacy alone has pre- vented for two years, is at last under way.
 That Russia and Japan have reached an agreement which will make Russia supreme in Manchuria and give Japan a free hand in Korea is regarded as certain. This agreement was foreseen by MT. Hay several days ago, but he was powerless to prevent it, even though he understands that it will in the end drive American commerce from Manchuria.
 A few weeks ago Japan needed only the moral support of the United States or England to declare war on Russia. This country could give no assurance of support, and England would not, preferring to take chances when the breaking up of China came.
 Japan then set about making terms with Russia. Russia was ready for war, but preferred peace, and the amicable understanding told of in yes terday's dispatches to the state depart ment is the result.
 Japan comes out with the short end of the division, but she considers that preferable to war.
 Two years ago the European powers asked the United States to share in carving up China. The United States refused. Now the carving is to be done with this country watching it from the outside.

turns were secured they could not be compared with those of any preceding state election, as the seventy-one mu- nicipalities with 5000 population or over had been redistricted under new municipal code that went into effect this year and changed the voting pre- cfncts in those reorganized municipali- ties. Almost all the returns received were from the cities on which the usu- al rate of gains or losses could not be definitely determined, but most of them made such Republican gains over their vote last April with which comparisons could not be made as to indicate that the drift was with the Republicans in the towns even greater than in the ru- ral districts.
 There is much talk among state lead CTS of both parties about tSMcClellan going up in New York and Johnson go- ing down in Ohio'' having some effect on the Democratic possibilities for next year. There has been precedent in Ohio for the Democratic candidate for governor the year previous to national conventions being made one of the dele gates at large to the Democratic ma slOudi CUuNGnLlOu, dHu It IS SVlucnL from the talk that the Democrats who opposed Johnson will continue their or ganiza ton to prevent him from control ling the next Democratic state conyen, ton or naming the Ohio delegates at large to the national convention.
 Ohio has exceeded 100000 plurality only twice. Tn 1863 John Brough Rep) was elected governor of Ohio by 1O1,- O9S, when his Democratic opponent, Clement l.. Vallandigham was an ex- ile in Canada and the soldiers were vot- ing outside the state
 The only other time when the plural tty exceeded 100000 in Ohio was in 1894 for secretary of state.
 Chairman Dicks latest announce. ment is that the Republican plurality will exceed 125, 1000; that the Republic. ans have elected twenty-six and the Democrats four state senators, with three districts not heard from; that the Republicans had elected eighty seven representatives and the Demo- crats eleven, with twelve counties not heard from, assuring Republican ma jority of eighty-fiye on Joint ballot for senator. with fifteen votes not yet de termined.

NOTES ON THE
STOCK MARKET
Status of the Trade Given BY
the DrOver-..StOck-
man

lie cattle market was indlfferent-
ly supplied and ruled just about steady
from all around. Hogs sold at In
changed prices, from Sc. 70 to 81. 10,
the bulk at Sc. 95@7. 90. The sheep
market was nominally steady.
Beef Steers-The fat cattle market
has been fairly active all week with
the trend of values higher nearly ev-
cry day. Owing to the improved tone
to eastern advices, the very cold wea-
Their and the moderate offerings of beef
cattle the early part of the week
there has been a well sustained de-
mand right along from the dressed
beef men and closing quotations are
generally all of a quarter higher than
a week ago. OF late there has been
an apparent disposition on the part
of buyers to take the good light and
handy weight beeves in preference to
the heavier cattle, although this con-
dition is not an unusual one at this
time of year. The general demand,
however, has been healthy all week
and the only danger appears to be
that the better prices may bring out
excessive supplies next week. Good
to choice 1,3O0-fb to 1,500-b beeves
are quoted 81. 75fb5 .25, with fair to
good 1850 to 1,4OO-fb beeves at $3.50
@ 40, and fair to poor warmed up
and short fed steers selling to both
packers and feeder buyers at $3.50
q 4.25.
Hogs-The market has experienced
both D and downs for the week, but
the ups have more than balanced the
downs. so that at the close of the week
the average market is about loo high
err than it was at the close of last
week.
