Split Ticket May Be
 Outcome.
MAJORITY REPUBLICANS
One Democratic ElectOr Pos
 sibly Wins Out.
Secretary of State May Be Called Up- on To Decide Who Are Suc- eessfuI in the state of
 German.

Baltimore. Nov. 10.-The official re- turns received here up to late hour tonight indicate that the vote for the presidential candidates last Tuesday was close. possibly one hundred on either side. It is probable that Secre- tary of State oswald Tilghman will be called upon to decide which of the electors will be entitled to cast their votes in Washington.
 The board of canvassers in Balti- more city and in the 23 counties of the state met at noon today.
 In Baltimore city the votes cast in the third congressional district were counted. but the totals were not made public While Congressman Frank Wachter was admittedly reelected, the vote on the presidential ticket is left in doubt.
 From the official returns thus far received, the indications are that the Republicans have elected seven and the Democrats one of the electors of the state
 Returns received from eleven coun- ties of the state give the Republican electors a plurality of 174. Until the canvassing boards of the several coun- ties and of Baltimore city shall have examined and counted the ballots. 1t will be impossible to say which fthe presidential candidates will receive Marylands electoral vote.
 There is no change in the congress- ional situation the Democrats and Republicans each having elected three members of the next house of represen- tativs.

ADVERTIsES HIS BOOK.
"The Strenuous Life" Having a Large
 Sale in Italy.

Rome. Nov. 10.-The election of MT. Roosevelt to the presidency of the United States has been made the occasion for the issuance of an Italian translation of his The Strenuous Life" which is having a large sale. All the newspapers of the Rome print appreciative articles on the election of President Roosevelt. The Patria says:
 MT. Roosevelt does not represent a party. but a superior individuality He is the most popular man in the United States and in public life and private life Is genuine champion of a strong and victorious race, des- tined through her virtues and ire presslble energy to have the largest part in the history of the world"
 The Osservatore Romano, organ of the Vatican. says:
 MT. Roosevelt, while an eminent statesman, able diplomatist and elo- quent writer, Is showing depth and broadness. He stands out for simpIi- city of life. love of family and recti- tude of principles. Therefore it is easy to understand the manifestations of rejoicing over his election, in which numerous Catholics in the great Re- public join, having nothing to say of him but praise"

MONTGOMERY. ALABAMA. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER

 Governments. it being stated that the Russian view of the situation is too well-known to her ally to make 1t pos sible that she could have been privy to such a move. The general opinion is that Lord Lansdowne's suggestion was In the nature of a personal trial balloon.
 Hopeless as is the idea of bringing the war to an end. 1t seems. however. that they are those in high quarter who consider that there is q bare pos- sibility of bringing the war to close on a basis of arbitration if such prop osition came directly from Japan. In- deed. 1t Is even intimated that Lord Lansdowne's suggestion may have been inspired from Tokio.
 Russia has announced again and again that no proposition from an un- interested power would even be ari- swered. but that any proposition from Japan direct, no matter through what intermediary. would be considered. A proposal from Japan to arbitrate the controversy would appeal strongly to Emperor Nicholas.

Has Made no Move Looking to Ending
 the War.
 washington Nov. 10.-Carcfui in- quiry here fails to develop any change within the last four weeks in the att titude of this government toward the Far Eastern situation. There has beep no move officially that could be con strued as indicating a purpose by America to intervene between the two belligerents.
 It was stated, however. several weeks ago by one of the highest au- thorities, that the President was only awaiting 8 suitable opportunity to do what he could to terminate the pres ent war. He was restrained at that time and is now by the iron rule of the State Department that under no cir- cumstances or conditions shall this government make a formal offer to bring the belligerents to peace terms unless both of them shall signify a willingness to avail of his good of- fees.
 That point has not yet been reached in this war. It is known that Japan, having been in full and free confer ence with the State Department here and with Mir. Griscom the American Minister at Tokio, for many weeks past, Is willing to entertain an offer of good offices from the President or King Edward looking toward termi- hating the war, but so far no such inr timation has come from Russia and the slightest suggestion of an intention to urge peace upon Russia has aroused bot hprivate and official resentment on the part of Russian officials here.

COMMENT IN MEXICO.
Newspapers Consider Election a Man

 date for Imperialism.
 Mexico City, Nov. 10.-The results of the American election are much discussed in political circles. The Mexican Herald comments on the im- mense and almost unprecedented ma jorities by which the American people have approved the record and en- dorsed the ideas of President Roose- welt and have given him a mandate to continue his vigorous foreign poli- cy, which is precisely what most in terests foreign nations. It says:
 Definitely and in an unmistakab bly, manner the American electorate stamps its approval on the imperial isitic and expansionist policy of the dominant party, and the mighty un- ion now commits itself to the reten- ton of all the insular territory ac- quired from Spain in both oceans; to the rapid pushing to completion of the Panama canal to the building up of great navy and to the movement for strengthing the military army. of the government"
 The papers generally speak of Pres ident Roosevelt as the imposing fig ure on the international stage of the world, of cosmopolitan education and wide and varied accomplishments, and as an unique figure in the long Hne of American presidents.

MISSOURI RETURNS LATE.
Roosevelt and Folk win and Legisla-
 ture ia Republican.

ture is Republican.
 St. Louis Nov. 10.-With seven coun- ties still to be heard from at nightfall, the returns showed that Roosevelt's plurality in Missouri stood 15,755. Of the seven counties unheard from six went for Bryan in 1900. They are re- mote and sparsely settled.
 With the returns from nine counties missing at the same time, Folks plu- rality for Governor stood S4.SS3.
 Figures on the remainder of the Dem- ocratic ticket were still lacking. At Democratic State headquarters 1t was stated that one-third of the returns from the State on the balance of the ticket had been received at o'clock. It was contended that the State ticket might not be defeated. No claims were made concerning the complexion of the Legislature. In fact. very little com ment was made outside of the plain statement that the Legislature is Re- publican.
 The following telegram was sent to- night by Republican State Chairman Thomas N Niedringhaus:
 George B. Cortelyou, Chairman Re-
 publican National Committee, New
 York
 "I have not telegraphed before this, as I desired to be absolutely certain. and I announce to you with great pleasure that the electoral vote of the State of Missouri will be cast for The odore Roosevelt for President"
 Chairman Niedringhaus conceded that Folk had been elected Governor. but stated that there was not the least doubt but that the balance of the Dem ocratic ticket had been defeated. He said:
 The Republicans will have a major ity in the Legislature on joint ballot of at least fourteen, perhaps twenty. This means the election of Repubh- can United States Senator. The re- turns will show that the Republicans have elected eight Congressman and as the Sixteenth District Is in doubt, it's returns may show the election of one more Congressman, making nine in all. We will contest the elections in the Eleventh and Twelfth districts"

ADAMS WINS IN COLORADO.
Governor Peabody Acknowledges That
 He Has Been Defeated.

Denver. Colo. Nov 10.-Governor James H. Peabody. Republican. con cedes his defeat.
 Ava Adams's majority over Pea body for governor in the city and county of Denver Is 5,Gi1 and in the entire State about 1O,500. Repubh- cans still claim a majority for Pea body in the State outside Denver. but this is not borne out by the returns which are stil incomplete.
 The Republicans probably will se- cure all the other State officers. though in some cases their pluralities are small.
 Both sides are claiming the Legisla- ture and the result will be in doubt until the official count Is made in Dem yer and Pueblo.
 After conceding the election of Adams today Governor Peabody said:
 The campaign just closed has beer one of principles, not candidates. I have tried to maintain peace and order In this State as justly was possible and in no case did l exceed the law as interpreted by the Supreme Court of the state If the people of the State by their votes, failed to approve that pol icy, I am still satisfied. The people know what they want and they always have the ballot with which to get 1t ."

 Chefoc. Ney. to .@- fNoon ,)--Itso Mountain. according to Chinese. I2o of whom arrived here today from Port Arthur. Is proving costly obstacle to the Japanese. On the morning of No- vember and 6 desperate assaults op the position were made by the Japa- nese who were repulsed.
 During the second assault q she'll soaring over the other hills from Pali- ohuang. dropped on Itse Mountain and demolished a land mine, controlling the station. and exploded other mines. The Russians were holding the trenches on the boundary of the mined section. Six or seven were killed. The Japanese. not having reached the place, were un- hurt.
 Itse Mountain owes the best part of its strength to the peculiar topography of the surrounding country which pre- vents a direct artillery fire and dueS not enable the Japanese to advance trenches with the success evident else- where.

TO BURY THE DEAD.
This Believed te Be Purpose of Armis-
 tfee.


 St Petersburg. Nov. 10.-Russia is not expected to make an official re- sponse to the American request for Russia's views on holding a second peace conference at The Hague until the return of Emperor Nicholas to St. Petersburg.
 The War once has no late advices from Port Arthur. and nothing Is known here of the report that General Stoessel has asked for an armistice. but if so. such is considered to have been to bury the dead and not in view of exploitation.
 The suggestion made by way of Tokio that the Russians are mutilating the wounded Is deeply resented in military circles here, where it Is considered that the idea may be put out as an excuse for the likelihood of a repetition of a massacre such as followed the taking of Port Arthur during the Chinese Japanese war.
