NO NORTHERN
STATE FOR PARKER
CHAIRMAN CoRTELYoU ISSUES
STATEMENT OF CONFIDENCE
NOT LESS THAN 314 VOTES
He Declares the Campaign Fund is
About One-Half as Large as
Cleveland's.
NOT LESS THAN 314 VOTES

New York, Nov. 6.-Chairman
Cortelyou Of the Republican national
committee tonight issued the follow
ing Statement:
ITO all Supporters of Roosevelt
and Fairbanks:- - The presidential
campaign has reached the final stage
and the reports of the Republican
national committee from all parts of
the country seem to be as complete
as it is possible for the election re-
ports to be. Upon these and upon
information that the committee has
been able to obtain I am satisfied
that the Republican candidates for
president and vice president will
carry every northern State, with the
possible exception Of Maryland and
Nevada, and will have not less than
314 out Of the 476 votes in the elec-
toral college.
sThe campaign has been conduct
ed with a much smaller fund than
any presidential campaign for the
past twelve years. The fund this
year, although made up of contribu-
tions Of more than 1000 persons,
has been about half as large as the
Repabliean fund when President
Mckinley was elected in 1896 and
about half as large as the Democrat
ic fund when President Cleveland
was elected in 1892.
"Every part of this fund has
come from voluntary contributions
made without demand, importantly
or pressure, and without any agree
ment, pledge, promise. assurance or
understanding express or implied,
regarding the policy or the action of
the administration Or looking to any
benefit or advantage to any contrib
utor except the benefit which will
come to all business and to all our
people from the continuance of Re-
publican policies and Republican adj
ministration.
''To the great body Of spirited
citizens who from their means and
their personal efforts have aided in
the arduous labors Of the campaign
I return the heartfelt thanks of the
national committee of 1904.

Newcastle, Ind, Nov. 6.-The au-
thorities seem now quite positive that
Haley Gipe is shielding himself and
at least one other in the tragedy
which was enacted at the home
William Starbuck, on the night of
July 9. Their opinions are based sole
ly upon the actions of the prisoner.
who shows signs of giving way under
the terrific strain which certainly is
upon him.
During the past few days Gipe has
acted rather strangely for him. He
declares that he cannot sleep at ali
and that when Morpheus does enfold
him, the rest is broken. He does not
have the confident expression thai
he once did. He does not talk as
much as he has formerly done. He
apparently does not take the interest
i'll things as he once did and in al.
most every way he is changed. The
indications point on In one direction
and they are taken as a sign OF
guilt
If Gipe himself is guilty Of this
crime, i'll the opinion Of the authorl.
ties, he would have told all that hs
knows of the affair. But as he has
maintained strict silence on the
subject, it Is The opinion that he il
shielding some one other than him
self and that he has been induced to
withhold what knowledge he has
from the authorities. This Gipe is
trying to do, but the indications are
that he is about to break down and
reveal everything connected with the
mystery
Miss Nellie Shepherd, who so ye-
hemently declared her belief in the
innocence Of her lover, has not seen
him since he was arrested on the
charge Of murder. Although she also
declared that she would marry Haley
in the event of his Indictment. no
arrangements are being made, and
| the apparent loss Of interest in him
has lead many to believe that Miss
/ Shepherd cares nothing for tf. ae-
cused murderer now A few letters
| pass between the two, but il is nor
| thought that any marriage ceremony
uniting this couple will ever take

| information from Greensboro is t8

that township are satisfied with the
turn of events and that they feel
that at least one Of the parties tl

TROUBLE IN HIDING THEM
is Rumored, Caused Warship's Has
ty Departure From Vigo,
Spain.

ST.. Peterburg, November g.
rather remarkable explanation OF
the unexpected leaving of the Baltic
fleet from Viga is made here. 1t is
probably untrue, but the fact that
the main facts on which it is based
are true causes il to be accepted by
great many.
During the time Of the prepara-
tions Of the Baltic fleet a great many
actresses and chorus girls from the
Moscow and st. Petersburg theaters
were constantly with the officers OF
the fleet. When the feet finally sail
ed it was found that a @oodly por-
tion of these women were missing.
It has been learned that they are
aboard the fleet. and il is said that
the difficulty Of keeping them out OF
sight between decks at Nieo made 1T
necessary to get away where they
could be transferred TO one OF the
supply ships or golfers. 1t IS said
that they might be more easily put
ashore from supply ship without
being seen.
Women on All Ships.
Tt is hard for the people of any
other nation to believe that women
would be allowed on a warship in
time of war; but it is only too true
that they are aboard almost every
Reports are coming in greater
numbers Of the destitution in the
districts where the conscription of
soldiers has been heaviest. With
reports Of famine and starvation
coming this early. before winter has
fairly set in, it is easy to imagine
what the condition of peasant Rus
sia will be when the bitter cold of
the winter really comes. It is
picture almost too horrible to think
about.
While the accusation is not open
ly made that Admiral Rojestvensky
was drunk when he fred upon the
fishing boats in the North sea, as
letters come back from those aboard
the fleet it becomes more and more
certain that If he was not drunk he
was about the only man on board
who could plead to being sober.
Short of Ammunition.
The lull that has obtained in Man
chooria is easily accounted for on
the part fthe Russian forces. AM
munition is terribly short with the
army, and for few days no attempt
to send soldiers East has been made,
as the authorities had to choose be-
tween sending soldiers and ammuni-
tion. SO urgent was the need of pow
der and shot
Letters received here from pri-
Yates of the line tell the most pitt
able tales of lack of shoes and
warm clothing. The men are said to
be in bad shape. due to being COM
PEELED to tramp over the rocky roads
and hills of the scene of the battle
with poorly clad feet.
1t may be possible that batters
are not much better with the Jap
anese and that their failure to re-
sumo hostilities is traceable to the
same reason. But they will more
quickly obtain the supplies they
need than the Russians. if they have
not already received ample.
