Secretary Frank r. Bentley of the
Stalwart Republican faction stated
last night that the returns received by
him from every precinct in the Third
congressional district show that Con-
gresham Joseph w. Babcock is re-
elected without the shadow of 4 doubt,
and that his plurality is 249.
Chairman J. B. Ashley Of the Third
district Republican committee tele-
'phoned from Baraboo last night that
Babcock's plurality is 225. Reports re-
ceived by the La Toilette faction cut
the plurality down to twenty-five. The
opinion is now general that Babcock is
elected. but by what plurality only
the official count can determine.

WARTOCONTINUE
RUSSIA DOES NOT SEEK PEACE
Will Listen TO No Talk of Mediation
and Is Prepared to Fight to the
Bitter End.

Washington Nov. 16.-"Russia will
pursue the war in TIE far East to the
bitter end: that is, until Russia has
conquered"
These are the opening words Of an
emphatic statement made at the Rus-
sian embassy by Count aasini, tho
Russian ambassador
Several times recently the ambassa-
dor, in the name of his government
has categorically denied the possibil-
ity of any intervention in the war.
but the recurrence Ct rumOrs that the
powers contemplated mediation has
caused the ambassador to reitcrate on
behalf of his government its position
regarding intervention or mediation
of any kind. The statement contin-
ues

have so often said. that Russia viii
not suspend in any case her military
operations in the far East All rumors
and reports regarding the possible sue
cess of the direct overturcs ;or peace
which Japan is said to have made TO
Russia, and regarding the mediation OF
the powers, in my opinion, ar" started
for the purpose of convincing the PUT
lie that the end of the war is close at
hand. In this way it is hoped the pub
lie may be led to believe that Japanese
loans offer attractive Investments.
Russia can no more admit Of In
reference than Great Britain could in
the Transvaai or could the United
States in her war with Spain. Where
the prestige of country is at stake
all other considerations are and must
be put aside: Some people may think
that financial difficulties will influence
Russia to end nostilities. Such an
opinion is based on the false assnmp-
titOn of Russia's financial resources.
There is no doubt whatever that
Russia. whose annual income exc .eds
one milliard of dollars. can not be in
n,.anced IN her "ttitude tows
outcome of the war by the amount OF
war expenditures. Is it not alto
gether out Of the question that Rus
sia, who did not expect war, should
in the moment when she has mohi'-
lied her army and is sending corps
after corps in fighting readiness to fbe
far East. suddenly call halt on hos-
tilities particularly after she has for
nearly year, without any difficulty
or recourse to extraordinary measures,
been able to carry all the extra ex-
| penses?"

Pennsylvania.

Philadelphia, Nov 12.-Complete but
unofficial figures from every county in
the state with the exception of Allie
gheny, in which Pittsburg is situated.
but from where close estimate has
been obtained, shows that President
Roosevelt's plurality in Pennsylvania
has reached 494,952, the largest plural
ity ever given a presidential candidate
by any state in the political history of
the country. President Roosevelt's s
total vote, according to figures at
hand, is S3O,552, and Judge Parker's
1856 800 McKinley's total vote in 1900
was 712.665 and Bryan's 424.232.

welt total vote Of 1858 out of ESQ.,
715 votes cast for all candidates. Re-
turns from forty-nine of the sixty coun-
ties give Swallow. Prohibitionist, 237,-

Maryland Is Close.

Baltimore, Md. Nov. 12.-That an
official count of the ballots cast for the
presidential electors at last Tuesdays
election in Maryland will be required
before definite knowledge of the result
can be assured, was demonstrated to-
night by the semi-official count in Bal
timore and in twenty of the twenty
three counties of the state.
The unoffit ial returns received thus
far indicate that seven Democratic
electors and one Republican elector
was chosen. The congressional situa-
tion remains unchanged, three Demo-
cratic and three Republican congress
men having been elected.
The state board of canvassers will
make the official announcement of the
vote. This board must meet aud COM
plete its labors within thirty days after
the day of election.
1t is explained by the election super
visors and the political leaders that the
mis-marking of ballots caused the dis
crepancy between the vote for the ma
tional and the congressional candi-
dates. In this connection charges of
fraud are made by the leaders of both
parties and it will be necessary to
await the official count to decide the
vote.
OF the presidential electors it is safe
to say that by the unofficial count
Charles ]. Bonaparte, Republican. of
Baltimore, was elected and the remain
ing seven Maryland members of the
electoral college were chosen by an
average majority of about 400 by the
Democrats. The vote for the candi-
dates on the Socialist. Prohibition and
Union Labor tickets has not been can
vassed.
Both Democratic and Republican
leaders say that frauds and irregular
tiles were used in several counties and
hundreds of ballots have been held up
by the supervisors in Baltimore and in
at least three counties. 1t will. there
fore, require the decision of the state
board of canvassers to determine the
actual result.
Congressman William H. Jackson,
who, on the face Of the returns in the
First congressional district was de-
feated by Thomas A. Smith. Demo,
cratic, has announced that he will CON
test the seat on the ground of fraud.

Pension Commissioner Resigns.

Washington. Nov. 1G. - Commits

his resignation to the President and
1t was accepted to take effect Janu-

Commissioner Ware refused to dis
Cuss his action in any way except TO
state that the newspapers of the cOun-
try had been ''resigning" him for the
past two years.
Fc- at least one year, however. II
has been definitely known that Mr-
Ware would retire from his office 500
after the fall elections and return L.
his home in Kansas to resume his law
practice. II is believed here that
Commissioner Wares action was not
due to any suggestion that the sever
ance OF his relations with the pension
office would be agreeable to the Pres

no secret that Commissioner Ware.

ADAMS PLURALITY.
Democrats Claim That It viii Be Ten
Thousand, fL4F.

! Denver. Nov 13.-The News this
morning says: Mr. Adams plurality
outside of Denver is roundly 5000.
which, with plurality of 5000 in the
city, gives him the state by 10000, as
announced In the News on Thursday.
+ Returns certified up by the various
county clerks in the state will be final
with the state canvassing board. except
where the Supreme Court may inter
fere and order otherwise Republicans
last night conceded that the State Sen
ate would be Democratic by three and
possibly four, and that the House was
still in doubt.
Assistant Attorney General Melville.
for Attorney General Miller. has been
keeping close watch on all the returns.
and has compiled the vote for num-
ber Of candidates on the state ticket.
This table of MIR Melville's brings
Mr. Adams to Denver with plurality
of 1920 votes, or just 109 votes more
than were shown by the News table
on Friday morning.
ut would be foolish to try to con-
test Mr.. Adams election" said Attor-
new General Miller yesterday. He is
absolutely safe without the Denver
vote. 1t is peculiar thing that by add
ing Mr. Adams plurality outside OF
Denver with the vote given him in the
CITY and county it makes him run
right along with all the Republican
ticket, excepting, of course. Governor
Peabody. There is no doubt whatever
of Governor Adams election, and no
question OF his holding the office in
snite of contests"
The same table compiled by Mr.. Mel
vile gives Mr.. Miller's plurality out
side of Denver 1O,549 The figures given
out by Chairman Farley give Mr.. Mil
Ter a plurality OF 1898. Mr.. Miller lost
Denver by some 600 but according to
Mr.. Melville's table he led his ticket
outside the city.
There is difference Of about 5000
between Mr. Melville's figures on the
state treasurer and those given out by
Chairman Farley. Mr. Melville figures
Mr. Holmbergs plurality as 1O.343.
while Mr.. Farley gives him 1870.
