electoral votes The banner state is
Pennsylvania. Twenty -four hours af-
ter the polls had closed the returns
from this state indicated that Roose-
velt's plurality would reach $500.
Next came Illinois, where the presi-
dent polled approximately 5000
more votes than did Parker. Ohio
gave Roosevelt 200, 900, and New York
ia, 900.
Judge Parkers plurality in Greater
New York is nearly AZ, 900 votes.
In general the the situation is chiefly
interesting because of the fact that
the tickets in many of the states were
badly cut. President Roosevelt ran
ahead of his ticket in many localities.
In Massachusetts he had a plurality of
$4,000, while the Republican candi-
date for governor was defeated by &c.
900. In that state the legislature is
Republican and the entire Republican
ticket, with the exception of governor,
was elected. In Missouri the condi-
lions are similar. In Nebraska the
definite announcement that the legis-
lature is Republican disposes of the
statement that William j. Bryan had
aspirations for the United States SEN
atorship. In that state, too. the gov
ernorship is still in doubt.
There is curious situation in Min
nesota, where Roosevelt has 1876, 900
plurality, but where Democratic gov
ernor and Republican lieutenant gov
ernor were elected.
The situation in Colorado presented
an interesting phase last night Roose-
welt carried the state by Is, 900 but the
governorship is still in doubt, both
sides claiming victory.

RUSSIA NAY DECLINE.
General Opinion She Will Not Attend
peace Conference.

pedCe Conference.
st. Petersburg, Nov. 9.-Foreign
Minister Lamsdorf has received
through Charge d'Afaires Eddy the
American proposal for second peace
conference at The Hague to proceed
with the work begun in 1898, and es-
pecially relating to the rights and
duties of neutrals and other questions,
like the bonn bardment of undefended
towns, left undecided by the former
conference. \
The note, it is understood, takes
pains to avoid the appearance Of desir-
ing to wound the susceptibilities OF
Russia, the action of the United States
having been prompted by the initiative
of the St. Louis peace conference. No
response has yet been made, but there
is strong reason to believe that al
though Russia cannot show offense at
the proposition from the United States
at this time, inasmuch as the United
States was actually at war with Spain
when Emperor Nicholas proposed the
original conference, Russia will de-
cline to participate as long as the war
lasts.
At the foreign office the opinion has
been that conference after the war
would be profitable, enabling the pow
ers to agree upon many vexed prob
lens, but that it is impossible for Rus
STA to participate during war in a
conference whose tendencies will be to
limit the activity Of belligerents and
in which questions with bearing up
on the present struggle are sure to
ccme up for discussion.

TREATY WITH ITALY.
Expected to Be Ready for Signatures
Within a Week.

Washington, Nov. THE French
arbitration treaty, concluded Tuesday
will be followed by treaty with Italy,
which it is expectd will be ready for
signature early next week The French
treaty, while not yet ratified by the
senate and consequently not in force,
is believed to be so carefully framed
as to insure favorable action in the last
stage.
If this is so it will be the first arbi-
tration treaty of general scope to which
the United States has been a party
There have been various special ar
rangements, such as the Boring sea
arbitration, that providing for the ad-
justment Of the Alaskan boundary, the
Venezuelan claims settlement and the
lie, but each and all of these was linn
tied in operation to one subject and
they expired as soon as the subject
matter had been dealt with.
The only attempt at the formation
of general treaty broad enough in it's
terms to cover almost any subject of
dispute that might riae in the future
ws the convention drawn by Secretary
Olney and Lord Pauncefote in the clos
ing months Of Cleveland's second ad-
ministration, and which still slum bers
on in the pigeon holes Of the executive
office Of the senate. The failure of
the senate to act in this case has de-
TERED succeeding secretaries Of state
from attempting to secure the conclu-
sion of a arbitration treaty. but Secre-
tary Hay feels that the time is ripe
for a renewal of the effOrt

WORLD NAY NEVER KNOW.
Believed Russia will Suppress Facts
in North Sea Affair.

London, Nov. TIT begins to seem
doubtful, says the Times, whether the
world will ever know much mora
about the North sea tragedy than il
knows now. Everything London learns
concerning the attitude of the Russians
lends itself to the view that the cars
government has determined, so far as
it is able, to suppress the truth touch.
ing the horrible affair.
1t is not believed here by those
whose opinions are entitled to the
greatest weight, that the Russian ad,
miralty is without full information as
to what took place off Dogger bank.
On the contrary, it is believed that the
Russian authorities are in possession of
facts which show that her warships
fought one another with shot and
shell, and that there was not the sign
of an enemy anywhere about.
So there is no expectation in the
minds of those who hold this opinion
that Russia will produce witnesses be-
fore the inquiry board to publish her
shame to the world. The expectation
is rather that her witnesses will per.
sist in telling that tiresome story of a
Japanese attack and repulse.
Russia make confession before that
inquiry boardl' exclaimed promi-
nent British naval officer. 81 think
not, and if she does not make a clean
breast of it the chances are strongly
against the worlds being advised pre-
cisely of what happened on that fate
full night, for the only persons in the
world who really know are among the
offic ers and crews of the Russian YES
sells.
"There is only one possible chance
of procuring evidence, the production
of which would compel Russia to tell
the truth. 1t lies in finding the Rus
sian vessel submerged near the Dogger
bank. Maybe there is one there, may
be no torpedo boat was sunk, but if
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky told the
truth when he said that he sunk tor
pedo boat, that boat, if it can be
found, will necessarily be Russian
craft. for no other than Russian war
craft was present in those waters ON
that night. l would not gamble much
on finding such a torpedo boat, for the
reason that do not place. much Gre
dencre in the vice admiraPs story;
but it may be there, and ought to be
searched for, anyhow.
my view, however, and that OF
many Of my friends, is that when
Russia has apologized and paid the
damages and possibly reprimanded an
officer or two, she will be through
with the incident. 1t does not seem
possible just now that she will consent
to have the truth known, nor that II
can be known absolutely without her
consent"

Judge Moore Closes Nome Saloons
Where Gambling Is Permitted.

Seattle, Nov. IA private tele-
gram has been received in this city

license all houses in which gambling
had been conducted during the sum-
mer. The saloons which have thus

the lattre place was based upon the
fact that during the past summer it
was run as a dance hall and variety
show.
