VERMONT ELECTIONS.
Senators, congressman and State Off.
GERS To Be Elected.

Senators, congressman and State Off.
GERS To Be Elected.
White River Junction, VT, Sept. c.
Fair weather conditions, considered
most necessary to bring out the large
vote desired by all parties, prevailed
throughout Vermont today.
The fact that the election was the
first to be held in an eastern state this
year gave it an unusual significance as
the disclosure of the prospective Dem.
ocratic and Republican strength, in a
way which would be viewed as pro-
phetic of the situation throughout the
country. The election today was to
choose state officers, two congress.
men, members of the state senate and
house of representatives and various
county offices.
Charles J. Roll, of Walden, is the
Republican nominee for governor, and
his Democratic opponent is Eli H
Porter, of Wilmington. The prohibition
candidate is Homer J. Comins, of Berk.
shire, and the Socialist nominee is
Clarence Morse, of Springfield.
The reelection of the present Re
publican congressman, Kittridge Has.
kins, of Brattleboro, and David ].
Foster, Of Burlington, was felt to be
assured
The legislature to be elected today
will vote for United States senator at
the coming session. There is felt
to be no question that both branches
will be Republican and that Senator
Redfield Proctor will be chosen for an,
other term.

UNUSUAL ESCAPE.
Flight of Private Serving on Cover
nor's Island.

Flight of Private Serving on Cover
nor's Island.
New York, Sept. 6.-Private Frank
Reese, ar army prisoner serving one
year on Governors Island for deser-
ton, has escaped in an unusual man.
ner. Reese was a "trusty" and had
gained the complete confidence of Cap.
tain Horton, of the Eighth infantry,
quartermaster of the island.
Captain Horton left the post Sat
uay night for Manassas, Va, to take
part in the maneuvers. A company
prisoners, was detailed to the post in
place of the troops sent south so that
Reese's flight was greatly facilitated
When the captain went away he
gave the prisoner a key to his house
and ordered him to take care Of things.
After Reese disappeared a search OF
the captains quarters showed that the
prisoner had gone away in a peculiar
disguise. He had donned a dress
coat and shirt, big red necktie and
pair Of riding breeches. This nov
el outfit he topped off with a silk hat
and boldly walked to the landing place
and took the next boat to New York
His odd costume caused much amuse-
ment, but no person spoke to him, and
when the boat landed at the battery
he lost no time in disappearing. A
search for Reese later by the guard
disclosed the identity of the person
who had furnished so much amuse-
ment to the sentries who were much
chagrined over the escape.

MILLS ARE IDLE.
Hard Year on Many Cotton Manufac.
turing Plants.


Raleigh, N. c., Sept. GA very
large number of the North Carolina
cotton mills have shut down, stating
that it was for the purposes of re-
pairs. The fact is. cotton is some
what scarce and so high that the mills
in most cases say there is no profit
in the manufacture at present figures.
1t is pretty safe to say that fewer
spindles are in operation now in this
state than in several years past, in
spite of the fact that there is a large
increase in a number of mills. The
building of mills has fallen off some
what this year, but still there has
been a gain of a good many thousand
spindles.
Most of the mills now idle expect to
start up again the 1st of October.
This has been a very hard year on
the mills, but very few have gone to
the wall; in fact, only two in North
Carolina, out of some 800 A great
many of>the mill employees have taken
pretty well, all labor being in great
request for the farmers, and the wages
of white laborers as we'll as colOred
being at least so per cent higher than
they were two or three years ago.
Most of the mills are in small towns
and hence it is very easy for the op.
eratives to get farm work. 1t is this
which relieves a strain which in New
England would be severely felt. II
every cotton mill operative, and there
are over $4,000 of them in North Caro-.
lima, were at work on the farms, there
would yet be a demand for more, SO
eager are the farmers to secure la.

KUROPATKIN'S ARMY
NOW ON RETREAT
Japanese Are Hanging on Rus
sian Troops Flanks.
KEEP THE RUSSIANS HARRAssED
Despite Terrible Weather Conditions
Army of General Kuropatkin Is Re-
tiring In Good order-Other News
From Zone of Eastern War.

Mukden, Sept. 6.-1:40 p. m.-The
retreat of General Kuropatkin's army
is being carried out in good order
despite the terrible condition of the
roads, rendered sOdden by the rains
which fell yesterday and today which
mire the numbering wagons and heavy
transport trains. Long lines of com,
missariat wagons, drawn by steaming
mules, horses and even bull oxen are
steering their way north over the soak
ing, cut up main road from Yentai.
Behind them come long trains of artil-
lery and back of them still KurOpat-
kins army.
The Japanese are hanging on KurO-
patl1in's flankl keeping the Russians
engaged in q continuous rear guard
action. The progress of the Russian
army has been slow owing to the ne
cessity of first getting through the
baggage and guns; but heads of the
commissariat trains already have
passed through Mukden, and are con
tinutng their way towards the north.
The main japanese army Is march
ing up along the roads eastward of
the Russian lines of retreat which con-
verge at Mukden. Another Japanese
force is also heading for Mukden from
the westward coming from the direc-
ton of the Lao river. Marshal Oya-
ma seems to be making a race for
Mukden. He evidently has great SUI
periOrity in numbers, especially in
artillery.
AS this dispatch was filed the cor
respondent of the Associated Press
could hear the booming Of the Japa-
nese cannon which are in play IA
miles from Mu6den. The skies are
black and the air is sitting, the suf-
fOcating smoke and the storm breaks,
making strange harmony between the
elements and the menacing attitude
Of the contending armies.

ELECTION IN THE
STATE OF ARKANSAS
Governor Davis Elected For a
Third Term.
PLURALITY TWENTY THOUSAND.
Returns Show That Present Governor
Davis Has Again Been Elected as
Chief Executive of the State Of
Arkansas.

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 6.-Sufficient
returns from the state election held
yesterday have been received to indi
cate the election of Governor Davis
to a third term by a plurality of 20.
600. Several other state officers were
voted for but all the other Democratic
candidates had an open field Davis
alone having opposition. Governor
Davis will run something like 10000
votes behind his ticket two years ago.
when the total vote was 10000 in
round numbers. This year there has
been an increase of 10000 votes, and
if Governor Davis plurality is not over
10000, his loss in the aggregate will
be 10000 votes. Myers, the Repub.
lican candidate will probably increase
his vote over two years ago not less
than ten thousand.
Several counties have given Repub.
lican majorities which heretofore have
gone Democratic, but in the main the
county Democratic tickets have been
elected.
The Prohibition vote will possibly
fall short of two years ago when Kim.
ball for governor on that ticket re.
ceived less than 5000 votes. Two con.
stitutiOnal amendments were voted up.
on and the chances are that both
were defeated. One of the amend.
ments increased the number of su.
preme court judges and the other gave
cities and towns the right to issue
bonds for public improvements.
