Want to Visit Candidate.
Senator Jones Is Confident.

Washington October IO.-(Special J. Former Senator James K. Jones, former chairman of the democratic national com mittee was in town a little while today. Mr. Jones is taking an active interest in the democratic campaign, and returns to- night to New York City.
 'The outlook for democratic success is highly promising" said MT Jones today, and constantly improving. I have re- gently been in correspondence with demo- crats in many sections of the country with whom I have had political relations in the past, and l have addressed my let ters principally to men affiliated with what is commonly called the Bryan inter est The object of the correspondence was to determine the truth of the statement so often repeated that there is disaffec- ton among democrats with the national ticket.
 Answers to my letters have been com Ing In and l am prepared to say that there are no evidences whatever of dis affection among democrats but on the contrary the most enthusiastic and har- monous support of the ticket.
 T am personally sure that Mir Bryan is Loyalty supporting Judge Parker and urging grlends to do likewise. The oppo- sition cannot count upon democratic dis affection in this source.
 q am sure the democrats will carry New York in the state ticket and I believe Judge Parker will have New York's electoral vote. The reports from Indiana are more encouraging than I expected earlier in the campaign and are very favorable. The same may be said of Connecticut and on the whole I think the outlook IS satisfactory.

 "The business Mems Parker and Davis association, whose membership Is drawn from the leading business men of New York, have arranged to hold a mass meeting In Carnegie hall on October 21.

St. Petersburg, October 1O.-The rumor ing between Russia and Germany cov- ering the war in the far east has again been revived.

 Besides agreeing to support Russia in the peace negotiations at the end of the war, Germany's compensation in addi- tion to the concessions made in the com mercial treaties already negotiated. is to be the support of Russia in the attempt to incorporate The Netherlands in the
