President Roosevelt is assured OF
the cooperation of Republican con.
gress. The present majority in that
body is thirty-four, and it is certain
that this figure will be more than dou-
bled. In practically all districts the
Republicans have held their own,
while in some insignificant instances
the Democrats have lost.
Returns from the Southern states
show that they have returned the
usual Democratic majorities on con
gressmen as on other candidates.
The states of Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North
Carolina, South Carolina and Texas all
send solid delegations, while those
from Kentucky and Virginia probably
each will send only one Republican
representative, making no change
from the present complexion.
It Is probable that the Republican
majority in the senate will show little
II any change from the present voting
strength there. OF the ninety mem
bers of that body, flfty-seven are Re-
publicans and thirty-three Democrats.
Congressman have been elected in
the different states as follows:

Pennsylvania gave Roosevelt prob

presidential candidate by any state.
Unofficial figures place it at 494,525.
Ohio gave Roosevelt plurality of
approximately 100000.
The ''solid South" was broken by
the detection of Missouri, and some
Republicans in the South hold the
opinion that the solid South hence.
forth will exist in history alone.
The banner state for Roosevelt is
Pennsylvania, with close to 100000
plurality. New York gave the presi.
dent approximately 174,0OO votes more
than it did Parker. New York city re-
turns are still incomplete, but the
amazement over the result has not sub.
sided. Parker carried Greater New
York by nearly 41,0OO votes. Illinois
won second place in the stampede to
Roosevelt by giving Republican plu.
rality of more than $4,000. Chicago

MURDER.

Auburn, CAL, Nov. 10. - It is now
known that julius Weber, his wife.
their nineteen-year-old daughter.
Bertha, and their son. Paul. aged four.
teen, were murdered Thursday night
by an unknown assassin who set fire
to the house in an effort to cover tho
crime. Before the fire had made any
great Roadway the bodies of the muir.
dered woman and her two children
were rescued from the burning house.
An examination Of the bodies.
showed that Mrs. Weber and the
children had been murdered before
the fire had been started. The daugh.
ter had been killed by pistol wound,
as had been Mrs. Weber, On the boys
head were several deep cuts. He had
also been shot. All efforts to reach
Julius Weber, the father, who was not
thought to be
IN the Burning House,
were abandoned until, yesterday. when
search was made in the burning
timbers and his body WIS found in
the bath room of the dwelling. He, too,
had been shot down before being left
to be consumed by the flames.
The body of Mr.. Weber was so bad.
1y burned that it has been impossible
to ascertain how often he was shot. II
mas teen ascertained beyond g. doubt
That the women were killed in one
room and their clothing set ON fire,
and that they were then dragged into
the apartment where the bodies were
discovered.
One very peculiar circumstance OF
the agedy is that, while the bodies OF
the mother and daughter were burned
to some extent. the apartment in
which they were lying was not on fire
when the
Firemen Broke In,
which showed that they had been
killed in some other portion of the
house, partially burned and then
dragged into the room where they
were found.
The physicians are holding an au.
topsy over the badly scared remains
of julius Weber. Coronar Sheppard.
Sheriff Keene and District Attorney
Robinson are making thorough in
vestigation of the tragedy They are
advising no arrests. bnt the facts
would indicate that the murders were
the work of mailman, or coolly
premeditated crime. The robbery
theory is about exploded as no incen-
tive is found.

ANOTHER MOVEMENT TO BOT
TIE PORT ARTHUR.
WHEN ATTEMPT WAS MADE
Report that the Japanese Have Sunk
Seven Merchant Steamers in the
Harbor - Demand in Connection
With Manchuria.

LONDON--The Daily Telegraph
published dispatch from its Toxic
correspondent, which says:
"On the night of March % the Jap
anese fleet renewed the attempt to
bottle up Port Arthur. Sixteen war
ships escorted seven merchant steam
ers to the mouth of the harbor and
under cover of the bombardment the
steamers were ran in and sunk in de-
sired positions. Three hundred Jap
anese officers and bluejackets volun-
teered for the duty. An official re-
port is expected this evening"
The Daily Telegraph's circumstan-
tial report from the Toxic correspond
ent that Japan succeeded in bottling
up Port Arthur on the night of March
70 is not confirmed from any other
quarter. The special dispatches to
the other morning papers announce
no new developments, but throw few
sidelights on the operations.
The Standards Tien Tsin CORE
spondent says that Viceroy Alexieff
renewed his demand for the with
drawal of all Chinese officers and SOL
diers from Manchuria on the ground
that it would be impossible to conduct
the war properly.
The Daily Nails correspondents
give from Japanese sources some de-
tails of the condition of Port Arthur,
which were gathered during a recent
visit of Chinese junk there 1t is
asserted that boom had been placed
across the entrance to the roadstead,
which was alive with mines, so de-
fective and so carelessly laid as to
equally endanger both Russian and
Japanese vessels. The damaged Rus
sian warships, these reports say, were
repaired with such haste that it is
dangerous for them to leave their an
chorage. Eight battleships and cruis-
ers and ten torpedo boat destroyers
are now uninjured and often leave the
harbor, but never go far from the
forts.
Japanese naval officers praise the
quality of the Russian torpedo boat
destroyers, which, they confess, have
done excellent work, but they declare
that the Russian shells are badly
fused and fail to explode. except when
they strike direct upon armor, and
that their charges of guncotton are in
sufficient to cause serious damage.
The Daily Nails Shan Hal Kwan
correspondent says that the Japanese
are secretly engaging Chinese to act
as irregular corps.

William Rothwell, better known as
Young Corbett," of Colorado, in a
twenty-round contest at Woodward S

various portions of Corbett's anatomy,
forcing the champion to clinch to save
himself.
The styles of the two boxers were
entirely different. Britt fought for
the body most of the time, while Cor
bett devoted his attention to the head

pounds, but Corbett's weight was not
made public, though it is understood
he was at least a pound and hall
below the agreed weight-l30 pounds

MERCHANT MARINE AND FISH.
ERlES QUESTION.
THE PROPOSED SENATE BILL
Il is Scored in the Minority Report of
the House Committee-Passage OF
Measure Would Result in Holding
Up the Government

! WASHINGTON - Representative
| Stevens (MinnD filed the favorable re-
port authorized by the house commit
tee on merchant marine and fisheries
o. an amended senate bill "to require
the employment of vessels of the Uni
ted States for public purposes.
The bill requires all government
supplies transported by sea to be car
ried in vessels either owned by the
government or flying the American
flag. The report bases the necessity
for the bill on the ground that it
never is safe to depend on foreigners
for the defense of our own country.
1t says that the United States now
owns thirteen passenger and freight
transports, and that should these be
inadequate for the necessary trans
portation of government supplies and
troops, ships flying the American flag
only may be used in addition; that
the government cannot expect Ameri-
can ships to be available in an emer-
gency.
The views of the minority of the
committee. prepared by Representa-
tive Lucking (Mich) and signed by
Representatives Spight, Goulden. Nc
Dermott and Lucking, declare the bill
to be step in the policy of subsidiz-
ing our merchant marine, for which
for seven years the most active per
sstent, influential and unblushing lob
by has been bounding the life out of
both branches of congress. The re-
port says that outside of the goods
transported in vessels owned by the
government there was paid in freights
for such carrying in the year 1901,
$4,523,954 and that this carrying is
done principally to the Philippines,
and like the major portion of all our
war and naval expenditures of the
present day, has been rendered nee.
essary by the ill-advised subjugation
and retention of those islands"
The report says the bill is a most
barefaced misrepresentation of public
moneys, and adds:
"Of the seventeen vessels now en-
gagged in this traffic on the Pacific, all
are manned exclusively Except Off
cers) by Chinese sailors, who work
for about one-third or one-fourth the
wages that American sailors receive,
so that the American sailors have
been completely supplanted by these
Chinese in the very Pacific ocean
companies who are pressing the Ill
and who are, in part, 10 get its gratu-
tiles"
The report concludes that "in some
respects TINS bill is worse than any
pronounced subsidy measure which
has been advocated in congress. be-
cause it gives an absolute monopoly
to a few corporations and individuals
who may, and probably will, form a
combine and hold up the government
for all it will stand"

CHINESE ARMS MENACE RUSSIA
Forty Thousand Troops Drilled by
Foreigners Ready for Field.

PARASITIC Figaro's correspond
ent in Berlin telegraphs that a Cor
man officer who has just arrived there
from Mancnuria says serious opera
tions in the far east will not be be-
gun before the end of June. The
principal obstacle to Russian victory,
according to this officer, is the fact
that 40 900 Chinese troops, well
trained and with German and Japan
csc instructors, are menacing Russia's
lines of communication. Russia, with
the support of Germany, will protest
against this concentration of Chinese
troops.
According to the Toxic correspond
ent of the Petit Parisienne official
confirmation has been received of the
destruction of the Russian torpedo
boat destroyer Skeri at Port Arthur
by the explosion of submarine mine.

PERSONS RIDING ON PASSES.
Railroads Not Liable for Damages to
Deadheads.

WASHINGTON-The United States
supreme court again decided that per-
sons travelling on railroads may not
secure damage in case of accident
when they ride on passes, and the de-
cision went to the extent Of applying
the principle to such passengers as
were not familiar with the contract
usually printed on the backs Of the
passes.
The case decided was that of John
d. Boering and his wife, Nearing
Boering, against the Chesapeake
Beach Railroad company. Mrs. Boer-
ing was injured in an accident on
the road while travelling on a pass
issued to herself and her husband,
containing the usual stipulation of ex-
emptiou from damage. 1t was urged
that she had not been made aware Of
the stipulation, and that even If not
liable on general principles, the COM
pany must be so on account of her ig-
norance. The court did not accept
this view.
