ADAMS PLURALITY.
Democrats Claim That II Will Be Ten
Thousand.

Denver, Nov. 13.-The News this
morning says: Mr.. Adams plurality
outside of Denver is roundly 5000.
which, with a 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
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 a num-
ber of candidates on the state ticket.
This table of Mr.. 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.
1T would be foolish to try to con-
test Mr.. Adams election" said Attor-
ney 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
spite of contests"
Tho same table compiled by Mr.. Mel
Vile gives Mr.. Miller's plurality out
side of Denver 10,549 The figures given
out by Chairman Farley give Mr.. Mil
Ter plurality of 9.99S. Mr.. Miller lost
Denver by some 600. but according to
Mr.. Melville's table he led his ticket
outside the city.
There is a difference OF about 5000
between Mr.. Melville's figures on the
state treasurer and those given out by
Chairman Farley. Mr.. Melville figures
Mr.. Holmberg's plurality as 10.343.
while Mr.. Farley gives him 1878.

Great outrages have been at

Il make this public statement be-
cause of an evident attempt on the
part Of some people, some politicians

all law abiding citizens of Colorado in
my attempt to honestly and fearlessly
establish the facts in relation to the
election Of November 8th, 1904.

Atlantic Coast Hurricane.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE storm
which swept up through the Atlantic
coast states from the gulf Sunday and
Sunday night. developing into a gale

Eggs.
Value of Corn Meal.

A company with large capitaliza-
tion was recently Incorporated in New
York to manufacture and sell corn
meal mush. 1t is problematical
whether 1t will ever become staple
of diet. though its cheapness would
recommend 1t as such in a large city,
where the prices OF food are usually
high. The cheapness of corn meal.
however. is not its only merit. Pro-
fessor w. o. Atwater OF Wesleyan
University. who conducted numerous
experiments in foods for the United
States Department of Agriculture, has
found that the greatest nutritive value
in any kind OF food Of specified value
Is found in corn meal.
In ten pounds Of cornmeal there Is a
trlfe more than eight pounds of &C.
tual nutriment: in eight and one
third pounds of wheat flour there are
more than six and three-fourths
pounds Of nutriment; in five pounds
Of white sugar there are four and one
half pounds OF nutriment, and in five
pounds Of beans there are four pounds
OF nutriment.

October 4th.


Moscow, Nov. 13.-Nemirovitch DAN
chenko, the well-known Russian war
correspondent of the Associated Press,
telegraphing from Mukden under to-
days date, says the reports OF the
death OF General kuroki are con-
firmed.
According to his version, the splinter
Of a shell struck General Kuroki. tear
ing out a portion OF his breast and ab-
domen.
He died October 4th at Lao Yang
and his body was sent to Japan.
A rumor is persistenly circulated
that q kinsman of the Mikado. Siao-
sanii. literally little third prince" has
been appointed to succeed General Ku-
roki. but the actual command Of the
army has been entrusted to General
Nodzu, who is directing operations.
For the last week." says Dan
chenko, I'VE have practically not ad-
vanced at any point on the whole
southwestern front. even q few versts
further than we stood October 9Th. On
the contrary. we at several places have
been obliged to retire several versts.
but the present lines Of defenses must
be considered permanent, In view OF the
strong fortifications constructed.
THE Chinese say that the Japanese
are simply interchanging various bodies
Of troops, not concentrating in the
east, but keeping their main forces in
reserve, in order thoroughly to reform
them and give them repose preparatory
TO the coming fight"

General Lew Wallace III.

Indianapolis. Ind. Nov. 1.-THE
condition OF Gen. Lew Wallace il CIV
ing his friends a great deal Of concern.
and they are expecting to hear Of his
death at any time, but the report that
he Is dying Is erroneous. He has not
been well for more than q year. and In
that time has been gradually growing
worse, until he has become discouraged
about his health and has thus added to
the gravity OF his case.
His trouble began moro than a year
ago. when It was noticed that his food
was not at all times properly assim-
ilated. There would be an apparent
recovery In the tone Of the digestive
organs under treatment, but this was
followed by longer period Of failure
to assimilate the food. and these recur-
ring periods because gradually OF longer
duration till his case was regarded as
hopeless.

The Lewis and Clark Exposition will
open at Portland. Oregon, on June 1st
next. More than one-half the buildings
are already under roof and will be COM
pleted before January 1st, says Will
liam E. Curtis in the Chicago Record
Herald. The rest of them will b0
ready for business early in the spring.
A considerable part of the exhibits
are coming from ST. Louis, and tho
buildings will be ready for their in
stallation as soon as they arrive, shortly
after December 1st.
Compared with st. Louis the Port
land Exposition will be a miniature,
but it will equal those OF Buf-
falo, Omaha, Nashville, Atlanta and
Charleston. 1t is to be million-dollar
exposition. Five hundred thousand dol
lars has been contributed by the state
and 100000 by citizens of Portland OF
every class and quality. There are more
than 5000 stockholders. Half a mil
lion will be spent in buildings. about
$350,000 in the improvement of the
grounds, and the remainder will be
working capital. The government OF
the United States has made a very lib
eral appropriation, and all OF the
Northwestern and Pacific states are
taking an active and generous inter-
est in the enterprise.
The site of the Exposition Is about
two miles from the city-twelve min

Of things. The fence encloses 1856 acres
of land and $50 acres of water-a lake
with an island which furnishes key OF

braces Portland, and upon them the

ALASKACOVERED
BY NEW TELEeRApHlc SYSTEM
More Than 1000 Miles Of cable.-Ex.
tensIve Land System and Sue
cessfuI Wireless Lines.

Washington, Nov. 14.-Gen. A. w.
Greedy, chief signal officer Of the United
States army, in his annual report.
gives an interesting account OF the
work performed by his corps in eetab-
fishing an all-American telegraphic
system in Alaska. saying the undertake
Ing is unique in the annals of tele-
graphic engineering.
The cable used in the Alaskan gys-
tenn would reach from New Foundland
to Ireland. and the land lines from
Washington to Texas, there being 2,079
miles Of cable, 1.439 miles of land lines
and 1e7 miles of wireless lines.
General Greedy says the United States
has brought southeastern Alaska, the
Yukon valley and the Bering Straits
region into telegraphic communication
with the rest of the civilized world.
General Greedy says that after thor
Ough consideration he decided to in
stall material of American manufac-
ture. to be operated by American SOL
diers and to be laid by American ships,
except some cable instruments and ma
chtnery. A selected force bf men has
been 80 trained that to-day the signal
corps Of the army is competent to OPP
crate in war emergencies a submarine
cable Of any length.
Repairs in Alaska are maintained"
the report says. "by parties stationed
at log cabins about forty miles apart,
one signal corps repair man with two
assistants Of the line Of the army and
dog team being at each cabin. The
men meet the terrible conditions OF
hardship and privation uncomplain-
ingly and with a fortitude characteris-
tic Of the American soldier.
The report says the new wireless sta
ton has daily transmitted the entire
telegraphic business OF the peninsula.
5000 words being exchanged in one
afternoon between Safety Harbor and
st. Michael. The signal corps of the
army, he says, Is now regularly operat-
ing the longest wireless section OF any
commercial telegraphic system in the
world. Il
The annual business Of the Seattle
cable Is estimated at $25, 900 and dur
ing the year there has been spent $780,
1886 for Alaskan kilograms handled by
the signal corps.
Speaking OF the philippines, he says
the sixteen most important islands OF
the archipelago are now connected by
cable, which lines, he adds, are recog-
nixed as indispensable, both by the mil
itary and civil authorities.
During the year there has been col
lected and deposited in the insular
treasury Of the Philippine telegraph
lines receipts to the amount Of $58, ,675.
there having been sent, including
government business, all told. more
than 100000 messages. the net ex-
pense being 1925 .9O1.
The report says 1t is a matter Of the
utmost Importance that signalling ap-
paratus Of suitable character be in
stalled at the more important military
defenses at the Atlantic and Pacific
coast. to permit of intercommunication
between the army and the navy.
II is strongly urged In the report
that steps be taken by the United
States to adhere to the international
telegraphic union and that interna-
tional regulations to govern wireless
telegraphy in time OF war be adopted.
