ALL RETURNED.
lrfembsrs of Cabinet Get Re-Elsction
 al Roms.

7 Rome, Nov ' (11:55 a. m.) Definite Teturns show that all the members of #he cabinet have been reelected For fmer Premier Rudini, Baron Sonnino, Header of the constitutional opposition, Hand SignorPrinetti, the former foreign minister, and Terri, the socialist lead CT, have also been reelected.
 Summing up the result it is estab> lished that the government has been victorious over the extremists. who lost twenty seats. Turin, Naples, Palermo and almost all the large towns joined Milan and Genoa in de, festation against the general strike. l This really was the predominant note in the elections.
 The most remarkable contest was in the district of Castelfranco, compris- ing the birthplace of the pope. Count di Macola, who killed Signor Cayallot, ti, the famous radical leader, in a duel, had always been reelected for Gas. telfranco on the first ballot. but yea. terday. although supported by the clericals, the count, who is a persona, ! friend of the pope, did not receive suf. hclent votes in his contest against the democrat and ministerialist candidate, Signor Pellegrini, a staunch advocate of divorce, and Maeola must try to win on second ballot.
 Sigror Nasi, former minister of pub. lie instruction and a fugitive from Justice, accused of peculation, was elected unanimously by his fellow townsmen at Prapani as protest against the charges brought against him, the people of Trapani not believ. ing him guilty.
 Signor Palizzlo, who is considered to be the head of the Mafia secret SO ciety, was a candidate at Palermo, but he received only 2S9 votes, to 1,23s votes cast for his opponent, who was felected.

Boston. Nov 1.-The campaign man agers of both the republican and dem ocratic parties came to the day be, fore election expressing confidence of the success of their respective state tickets. Still, the last day brought little relaxation in campaign activity.
 The democratic leaders devoted con tinued energy to making sure of a solid labor vote for their candidate, w. l.. Douglas of Brockton. Governor
 Bates's veto of certain labor measures
 having been one of the main campaign issues in the state, the last days work

 about 25,000, into democratic chan, nels
 Governor Bates's statement issued last night. to the effect that he felt certain of the normal republican guber-

HOW IT WORKS.
Waterbury Had a Case ol Protective Tariff Several
 Years Ago.

Here is an authentic instance of
 how protective tariff works to in jure the workingman. When the Ran dolpl- Cloves co was known as Ram dolph & Gloves, the concern was man. ufacturing a certain kind of brass tube which the American Brass Go was trying to get control of. It was said to be superior kind of tube and it was necessary that the American Brass Go should get it in it's control. It was an element of opposition in the market, to the product of the Ameri- can Brass Go. Randolph < Gloves would not surrender it's manufacture at first, but finally, after a good deal of negotiation, it was agreed that in payment of $60,O00 d month Randolph & Gloves, would make no more of that particular kind of tube and for not doing so $6O,OOO was paid in the treas ury every month What was the re suit? Hundreds of men were thrown out of employment, good men, men who were, necessarily hard working men. So long as the brass trust kept its hands off Randolph & Gloves these
 men were kept busy making liveli-
 hood for their families. Their wages were not enough to burden them carry
 ing it home pay nights, nevertheless it
 was more than they got after the
 brass trust got hold of this particular
 kind of brass tube. These men were
 thrown out of work for no reason
 whatsoever, but that the brass trust
 desired to make more money, pile up.
 more millions. Who profited by pro-
 lection in that case? No one but the trust Who was injured? No one but
 the. workingman, whom the trusts and
 their representatives are trying to de-
 ceive now as they deceived him four years ago. Protection restraints trade, restricts the output of every in- dIlStry ...

SURE OF VICTORY
Leader Murphy Not Giving Out Any Figures
 To-Day.

New York, Nov 7.-AWith fair weath- CT promised for tomorrow from New York to Buffalo an extremely large vote is looked for in this city and state. Both sides continue to express the utmost confidence in the result. The democrats have been encouraged Joy the Brooklyn Eagles forecast and the statement by Charles F. Murphy, the Tammany leader, that he expected such large pluralities for Parker and Herrick in the Greater New York that he hesitated to give out the figures.
 Governor Odell, chairman of the state republican committee, and Will liam Halpin, chairman of the New
 York county republican committee. de clare that the democratic vote in New
 York city will be overcome, with a good margin to spare, by the republican vote in the upstate counties.
 An interesting feature of this years campaign in New York is the canvass
 made by Thomas E. Watson, the popu- list nominee for the presidency, and some attention was attracted to the claim of Melvin G. PaIliser, the popu- list state chairman. that Watson win
 poll from 40,000 to 50,000 votes in New York.
 As is usual, the day before election brings out stories of colonization and
 alleged attempts to force through the votes of men not entitled to cast bal lot, but there is nothing to show that the quiet of the city is likely to be dis turbed. There will be full force of poll watchers for each of the parties. Every policeman in the city will be on duty, and the courts will sit all day to
 settle whatever disputes may arise.

KENNEDY vS LILLSY.
A Gross nis-statement of the Facts in
 the Case.

Editor Democrat:
 In this mornings issue of the organ of the republican party there appeared an editorial headed Promises, Per formance," which contained n gross mis-statement of the facts; this mis- statement does q serious injury to MT Kennedy and should be corrected.
 When the nominations for congress man-at-large were made and the cam paign started, Mr Lilley, not MT Ken nedy, sent friend of LilIey,s to a nut tuaI friend of both Mr Kennedy and MT Lilley, and requested that that mu- tual friend go to MT Kennedy anu learn if there was going to be any mud-slinging during the campaign; that mutual friend did go and he did see MT Kennedy, but there was never any reply made; these are the facts. MT Lilley was the man who took the initiative, it was he who was afraid, and it was he who first sought an agreement. MT Lilley- knows why he asked MT Kennedy to keep silent on personal matters, and so does MT Ken nedy, and now that Mr Lilley through his organ has charged MT Kennedy with false dealing, the public will know Or ought to know the reason. MT Kennedy speaks this evening at City hall and will undoubtedly tell the reason. Mir Lilley calls the expose of MT Lilley's connection with the beef trust a personality; MT Lilley cannot deny that he is partner of the beef trust; If this is personality. it.is one the voters should be informed of
 KENNEDY'S FRIEND.

EVE OF BATTLE.
Both Parties Confident and Waiting for To-
 Morrow.

New Haven, Nov 7.-The special in terest in politics in Connecticut to-day l centers in the chances of the republ1-
 cans and democrats to carry the cities for their respective tickets tomorrow. The chairmen of both central commit tees have expressed their confidence of carrying the state for both national and state tickets. Each chairman has
 also stated that the success of his party depends in no small measure
 upon the size of the pluralities given
 New Haven 2,OOO for Parker and 5000 for governor and also that Samuel A. York will defeat Livingston Cleave- land for judge of probate. Four years ago Bryan carried it by S35 plurality, while Chamberlain I 1902 defeated Cary for governor by 71S, while Lil- ley and Sperry for congress, both re publicanS also had large pluralities.
 Hartford is claimed by the demo- crats9 Mckinley carried it but it was lost to all the republican state candi-
 dates and congressional candidates two years ago except by Gallup for state treasurer. Roberts for lieuten- ant governor at that time fell 498 be- hind Chamberlain and nearly 300 be; hind Hubbard, the democratic candi- date for lieutenant governor. Four years ago Mckinley carried every oth- CT city in the state except Derby, while two years ago the democrats took several of the cities for state off cers. Both state committee chair
 men are anxious over the outlook in the cities, and local contests have come to the front in the past few days, in many places the situation is considerably complicated. Tn this city, Bridgeport, Hartford and Water bury there are close contests for sena- tors Tn three cities, Bridgeport, Der by and Stamford, the general election Is complicated with elections for mu- nicipal officers. Tn the last mentioned city Homer s. Cummings, the demo cratic national committeeman and twice mayor, is again candidate for the mayOrality.
 Nota little attention will be attached t0 the senatorial contest in Stamford whe e MT Fesen len is the republican candidate, and to the representative contest where MT Kenealy is seeking a return trip to the lower branch, in which he will be candidate for speak CT against Judge Holcomb of Southing ton, who probably will be elected. As the time for bal1oting draws near the indications point to a slow count in several of the cities owing to the local contests Never before has there been such a liberal distribution of ballot pasters and this fact, with the heavy vote which is anticipated, will tend to prolong the count. Tn many of the small towns the returns are likely to
 be in hand early.

WILL BE LARGE.
Rhode Island Voters All Ready to Cast Their
 Ballots.

Providence, R. l., Nov 7.-Save for a last rally by the republicans arranged for tonight in this city, when the party nominees will speak, all the ac- tive canvassing in this so-called doubt full state is at an end, and the two great political parties await with con- fdence the outcome of to-morrow's s election. It is anticipated by the party managers that to-morrow's vote will probably be the largest in the history of Rhode Island This will be due to the increased registration, and the in. tense interest throughout the state as to whether Roosevelt or Parker will win the districts electoral vote. Re. publicans presage the defeat of Gov, ernor l.. F. Garvin, the democratic candidate for governor, and the en- dorsement of President Roosevelt by about 10000 plurality. Democrats claim Garvins election easily, and look to a victory for Parker.

 AGAINST
 ]. T. DAILY
We'll Known Citizen Says He Is In Pay of Republic Populist Rally and Other Things Put Up to Help the c. 0. P.

James White who was nominated for senator Dy the populist party is not in the running and never was. He said today to a Democrat reporter and also stated that he became co1s- nected with the so-calIed populist par ty in Waterbury for the sole purpose of knowing exactly where the men at the back of 1t stood. He was always suspicious of them, but wanted to make sure of his position before ap-' bearing against them in public. After he saw that he had not misjudged them he stepped out of the way and now thinks it only fair to others that he should make known q small share or what came under his notice while he was behind the scene.
 MT White says that John T. Daily assured him that he went into thia thing at first at the suggestion of Mr Lilley, who met him on the cars one day and gave him $25 for starter. At the headquarters of the peoples party in New Haven the'records show MT White says. that check No 3Y. under date of October 12, 1904, for SlOO, was mailed to 631 East Main street, Waterbury, MT Daly's. address. It was drawn on the Bank of of the t& >,kr>t4os v A1AOlis 54 FGWH It was signed by T. P. Rynder.
 Check No 21, date, October 24. 1904, for $25, was also paid to MT Daily. ac- cording to the records. This, it seems was handed to him personally by MT Rynder. Mir White also states that John T. Daly informed him that John Kellogg and Wilson H. Pierce paid S1O4 for the expense of the popuIisf lecture given here last week, $60 for the hall and $44 for the band. AIr White has heard on reliable evidence, but he is not sure Off this. that more money has been received and that d good share of it came from the Hon ATr Lilley. The last thing MT White heard on this point was from MT Iil- ley's privates clerk, who spoke to him over the phone and told him to eo ahead with that populist meeting and he would see that the bills were paid. But the story is too long and we have to dismiss the subject by stating that MT White declares the only object he has in showing up Daly is to put the good citizens of Waterbury wise in time for election.

FINDING PIN AN OLD TRIcE
Searching for It Is One of the Vet eran Stunts of Modern
 Clairvoyants.

One of the veteran tricks of the clairvoyant Is finding the hidden pin You have seen it done. The room is full of people, and there is possibility of collusions but collusion is unneces sary. If the performer be adroit he knows where to go owing to the uncon, scious indications given by the subjeci who does the hiding. But let the sub ject be blindfo1ded instead of the per former, and the latter will never fint the pin. Stuart Cumberland, of Ne York, was a wonder in this sort o amusement. When asked if he couIt find the pin under such conditions h. being an honest man, replied that h could not.

ARE NOW FACE TO FACE
 GOOD FIGHTING WEATHER
Russians Using Sx-Inch Gun That Is Bothering the Enemy-Japanese Made Night Attack and Were Repulsed After Losing Number in Killed and Wounded.

Mukden, Nov 7.-The Russian and Japanese armies, extending from Bent 4 siaputze, east to the Liao river, west, at places are almost within stones throw of each other. At Bentsiaputze not more than 400 yards separate the advance posts, and at Sinchinpu, on the ShakLe river, just west of the rail- way and 15 miles south of Mukden, the Japanese and Russians occupy the extreme ends of the same village. At Huangshantse the Russian center has thrown advance posts across the Shak- he river. Both armies are still strength ening their positions all along the line. The slightest movement on either side is the signal for firing, which occasion ally lasts all night. The Russians are using 6-inch guns on the railway, which must greatly harass the Japan csc. Undoubtedly the most decisive, if not the greatest battle of the year, will be fought in the vicinity of the Shakhe river The Russians are conf1- dent of their ability to hold their posi- tions. The soldiers are building mud huts for winter quarters.
 The nights continue cold, but the days are bright and crisp.

There was lively discussion yester. day afternoon at the meeting of Sher1- dan council. K. of O., regarding the ad- visibility of consolidating all the local councils into one body. The advocates of such course claim that the organi- zation could save at least $1 ,OO0 a year which could be turned to good account in some other way besides renting halls. But the proposition has it's op- ponents and it seems the latter won out in the discussion, so that nothing was done in the premises except to lay it on the table indefinitely.
