PEACE BASIS OUTLINED
Former Minister to Turkey Sees 8
Plan for Settlement.

New York, Nov. 11.-Oscar S. Stratus,
former minister to Turkey, and mem
Der of The Hague tribunal, expresses
the belief that sudden termination of
hostilities in the far east is possible In
the near future. He says:
1 have long had the impression that
we will wake up some morning and find
that thru the good offices of Great Brit
ain. with the tacit consent Of the sigma
tory powers to the treaty Of Berlin, an
arrangement has been agreed upon by
which the near eastern and the far east
ern question, have been settled by one
stroke. That is to say, Russia will have
come to an agreement with Great Britain.
and secondarily with the signatory pow
ers, for having free access to the sea
thru the Dardanelles, in return for which
a permanent adjustment Of the Afghan
boundary and Great Britains domination
Of the Persian gulf will be granted anc
that in the far east Japan's sphere of in
fiuence will be recognized In Korea, while
Manchuria, with certain rights to japan
secured will revert to China. This done
the peace of the world will be insured
certainly for our generation and by thu
end of that time the nations will hav
become so accustomed to availing them
selves of The Hague tribunal that war
will be largely eliminated.

I am permitted on high authority to
say that the president did not expect
to carry Nevada, Montana or Mary,
land, and that Missouri was beyond
his Widest dreams. It was his thought,
as it was that of his most intelligent
advisers, that there would probably be
large vote, and that it would adhere
thing was expected from the Watson
and Debs candidates., but this was
chiefly in so-called doubtful states, such
as New York and Indiana.
Something was also expected from
the Bryan detection, but not one-hun-
dredth part as much as the results
show.
Presidents Personal Strength.
1t is very apparent that the one
element contrib uting to the wonderful
result, and yet the element which was
least emphasized in the minds Of the
republican leaders, was the president 8
enough allowance for the certainty that
he had captured the imagination of the
American people, and they, neglected
to recognize sufficiently those outstand'
ing and taking qualities which have
! made his administration unique in oul
| history.
I am permitted to say, in connection
with his announcement that he will not
be candidate for another term, thai
he does not purpose cutting loose
from the "Quays, Platts, Odells ant
Aldriches'' Of the party. He will dea
with them in the future as in the pas

view to turning their talents to goot
use for the country and without intend

rectness of his "strenuous life,' whic]
demands in all reformers efficiency a

LANDSLIDE WAS
PARTLY FORESEEN
But Election Prophets Hazarded
Only Possibilities = The
Journals Forecast.
By w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The political
forecasters have had no such Waterloo
as they met this year, since the Grant
Greeley campaign of 1872. No man in
the country entitled to guess thought
the Roosevelt electoral majority would
20 beyond 314. This was the official
estimate of the republican national COM
mittee, which obviously claimed all that
it thought was in sight. It was also
the claim of the New York Tribune,
Harper's Weekly, the New York Press,
son, and numerous other newspaper cor
respondents of national reputation.
- General Grosvenor, the most ardent
rainbow chaser in the republican party,
claimed only about 305, and this claim
was qualified by the statement that
Roosevelt would get at least 300 elector-
al votes.
The White House estimate, may say
on ample authority, was 31l. At the
time the estimate Of 81 was made in
this correspondence, the Friday before
election, it was apparently as much as
the situation would stand.
Landslide Predicted.
The landslide, Of which there had
been some signs, arrived all right, and
all estimates went down before it.. Con.
corning that landslide, the following
was published as a part of this CORES

STRIKES BLOW AT
TRUSTS REBATES
Interstate Commerce Commission
Hits Harvester and Steel
Combines.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE Interstate
commerce commission, in an opinion by
Commissioner Prouty, today made pub.
lie the decision in the investigation en-
titled :" In the matter Of divisions of
terminal railroads. 49,
It is decided that rebates which
have been received by terminals in and
about the city of Chicago controlled by
the International Harvester company
and the United States Steel corporation,
popularity known as the harvester trust
and the steel trust, have been excessive
for the services rendered by the
from roads leading to all sections of the
country. On the general question IN
volved in the case, however, the COM
mission has decided:
That it is not unlawful for a railroad
operated as common carrier and owned
by the shipper to make joint rates with
other carriers and receive divisions Of
such rates; but on the other hand, that it
is unlawful under the interstate com
merce law and the Ekins amendment for
any carrier to grant excessive divisions
of rates to another carrier owned by the
shipper for the purpose Of securing the
traffic; Of that shipper To the extent
such divisions of rates exceed a reason
able charge for the service performed, 1t
decided that they operate as a rebate to
cut the tariff charge for the benefit OF
the shipper and constitute undue prefer
ence in violation of the statutes.
| The International Harvester company
owns the capital stock Of the Illinois
Northern railroad and a controlling in
tcrest in the Chicago, West Pullman
& Southern railroad, operating a
terminal connecting road between the
plant Of the harvester company and
various other industries and connecting
with roads leading to the Missouri
river and other sections Of the country
Recently the maximum switching
charge received was $3.50 a car, but
now the terminal receives division Of
the rate which, with maximum Of q
per cent on lines reaching the Missouri:
river, amounts to $12 car on farm
machinery. =.
! ! The commission decided any di
vision in excess of a reasonable switch
ing charge to be an unlawful prefer
ence in favor of the harvester company
The case affecting. the United State
Steel corporation refers to a simila
division Of rates in favor Of the Chi
cago, Lake Shore & Eastern railway
owned by the Steel corporation.

Observation-Disclosures
Baltimore, Nov. 1.-THE belated re-
turns from the country districts keep
cutting down the narrow margin by
which the republicans carried the state.
This majority has now been reduced to
about 100, and is threatened to be
wiped out altogether.
Sergeant-at-Arm Stone, the leader
Of the republican forces in the state,
declares that he is suspicious Of the
delay in sending in the county returns
and declares with emphasis that unless
victory is given to Roosevelt on the
official returns, he will take the matter
to the courts and have every ballot box
in Maryland opened and the votes re-
counted
Should the final figures show plural
ity for Parker, it is almost certain that
Charles j. Bonaparte, republican, will
be one of the electors, with seven demo-
Gratis. This unusual circumstance will
result from the fact that the names Of
Brown and Bonaparte were the first
on the democratic and republican tick
cts respectively, Immediately under the
names Of Parker or Roosevelt, and
.cross-marks opposite the names Of these
electoral candidates instead Of the pres
idential candidates. Both Bonaparte
and Brown will run more than 1000
ahead of the other electors.
The count in this city and state is
being very closely watched by attorneys
repr esenting the republican and demo
| cratic managers. Both sides are claim
ing the victory.
At 2 o'clock today the head Of the
board Of election supervisors in Balti-
more had completed the official count
in eighteen Of the twenty-four wards,
the net result showing gain OF 81
votes in the city for Parker. Dis
patches from the various counties in
the state are to the effect that the count
is progressing without dispute of any
sort and there are no indications Of g
radical change from the unofficial an
nouncement.
The gains for Parker announced since
the official counting began is abou
enough to transfer the plurality o:
votes from Roosevelt to Parker, will
seven democratic and one republican
, elector, but the vote is. SO close tina
, until complete canvass has been mad
the definite result cannot be known.
= Up to 2 o'clock today the offcia
count had been completed in fifteen o
the twenty three counties in the stat
and in none of these is there any ma
terial change from the first unoffcia
= announcements.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE New

FRANCE WON'T FORCE
INTERVENTION ON GEAR
She Would, However, Seize
- Chance to Bring Hostilities
to a Close.

London, Nov. 1.-THE dispatch Of
the Associated Press from Washington
confirming the statement made in these
dispatches that Japan had indicated
her willingness to entertain peace sug-
gestions from President Roosevelt or
King Edward created much interest
here. Baron Hayashi, the Japanese
minister, said today:
After the fall of Port Arthur Japan
would, I believe, be ready to treat for
peace on no higher essential basis than
that Russia should evacuate Manchurla
Japan also agreeing to a similar evacua-
ton. The two great difficulties IN the
way of any suggestion of peace are: First,
the apparent opposition Of Emperor Mich
olas' present advisers to settlement or
any kind; second, the preservation Of Rus
sian prestige. When a nations prestige,
If not gone, Is severely impaired 1t Is
difficult matter, even with the best Of in
tentions, to preserve 1t.
The Associated Press learns that
Queen Alexandra has been in constant
communication with the dowager en-
press of Russia and Emperor Nlch0las
himself during the last few days. This
is interpreted here as hopeful sign
and as possibly likely to lead, tho not
in the immediate future, to the estab-
lishment of some modus vivendl where
by steps looking to arbitration might
be initiated without offense to Russia.
The reiteration of the. American
state department determination not
to intervene except on requests from
both of the belligerents tallies with
the official attitude of the British
government, but it is thought that
Before long some method may private
ly be devised whereby this diplomatic
barrier to action will be overcome.
Baron Hayashi this morning had nc
news from Port Arthur and dlscred1tec
the rumors of it's capitulatlon.
