At the same time Folks plurality for

At Democratic state headquarters, 1t
was stated that only one-third of the
returns from the state on the balance
of the state ticket had been reviewed
at o'clock. 1t was contended that the
state ticket might not be defeated.
Similar claims We're made concerning
the complexion of the legislature.
Chairman Neidringhaus conceded
that Folk had been elected governor,
but stated that there was not the least
doubt but that the balance Of the
Democratic ticket had. been defeated.
He said: "The Republicans will have
a majority in the legislature on
joint ballot of at least IA and, perhaps,
20. This means the election of a Re-
publican United States senator. Re-
turns will show that the Republicans

ALvA ADAMS WINS THE
COLORADO GOVERNORSHIP.
Peabody Himself Admits That He
Was Defeated.

Denver, Col, Nov. 10.-Gov. James
H. Peabody, Republican, himself con-
cedes his defeat. Alva Adams ma
jority over Peabody in the city and
county of Denver is 5,072 and in the
entire state about 1O,500.
Republicans still claim a majority
for Peabody in the state outside Den
yer, but this is not borne out by the
returns, which are still incomplete.
''On the face of the returns Adams
is elected" said Republican State
Chairman Farley, but the official
count or a contest may change it to
Peabody"
John F. Shafroth, Democrat, is ap-
parently elected congressman-at-lar
with plurality of 1000.
Both sides are claiming the Legisla-
ture and the result will be in doubt
until the official count is made in Den
yer and Pueblo.
At a meeting of Republican candi-
dates and party leaders to-day it was
decided to begin Immediately a con-
test for the places of all the Demo-
Gratis elected in Colorado on the face
of the returns. An effort will be made
to seat all the Republicans from Gov
ernor down. The matter will be car
ried into the courts on the claim that

Washington, Nov. 1O.-Careful in
quiry here fails to develope any
change within the last four weeks in
the attitude of this government
towards the Far Eastern situation.
There has been no move officially that
could be construed as indicating a
purpose by America to intervene be-
tween the belligerents. 1t was stat
ed, however, several weeks ago by one
in authority that the President was
only awaiting a suitable opportunity
to do what he could to terminate the
present war. lie was restrained at
that time, and is now, by the iron
clad rule of the State Department,
that under no circumstances or con-
ditions shall the government make
formal offer to bring the belligerents
to peace terms unless both of them
shall signify a willingness to avail of
his good offices. That point has not
yet been reached in this war.
1t is known that Japan, having been
in full and free conference, with the
state Department here and with Mr..
Griscom, the American minister at
Toxic, for many weeks past. is will
ing to entertain an offer Of good Of

of the report is unobtainable.
1t is hoped here that Gen. Stoessel
will capitulate before the city proper

angry and infiamed on account of the

murdered If captured. Under these
conditions, it will possibly be difficult
to avoid a massacre when the troops
meet in the final combat.

vents direct artillery fire and does
not enable the Japanese to advance

where. The Japanese advanced on it
in both instances from behind distant
hills, with the fullest force the ground

Japanese broke the wire entanele

leg torn off was seen trying to bite
the wires.

RUSSIA DECLINED
PEACE OVERTURES
JAPAN MADE THE OFFER
But RUSSIA DID NOT CARE TO
ENTERTAIN 1T.

Offer Was Made Tentatively and I'm
officially by Jnpan-It Is Now Said
That United States, France ana
Great Britain May Offer Media
tiOn-PrOffer, 1t Is Said, Would BE
Made by ROOseveIt-LansdOwn
Brought the Matter Up.
London, Nov. 10. ASS p. m.-Japan
unofficially has made representations
to Russia looking to peace. This ac-
tion has resulted in failure and such
representations, even privately are not
likely to be repeated by Japan.
Although the suggestion of pacific
settlement was made unofficially, it
actually had behind it all the weight
of an offer by the Japanese govern
ment. 1t was made direct to Russia.
No power acted as an intermediary
The proposition was put forward ten
tatively and unofficially, so that the
Japanese government would be in a
position to deny any report that it was
suing for peace.
The failure of these direct negotia-
tions. however, resulted in bringing in
tervention within a measurable dis
tance. Foreign Secretary Lansdowne's
plea for arbitration yesterday evening
at the Guild Hall banquet is taken
here to be a pointed suggestion to
the United States and France that the
time is approaching when the Powers
must take some action. 1t can be
definitely stated that Lord Lansdowne
made his speech with full knowledge
that Japan will not resent a proposition
looking to peace from the three Pow
ers-the United States, France and
Great Britain. There is a definite i'm
preston that the initiative will come
from President Roosevelt, though the
action would be joint.
Hayashi Approves Suggestion.
In an interview generally regarding
the foregoing Baron Hayashi, the Jap
anese minister, said:
Il should not be surprised to see the
three Powers named. or two of them,
take the action suggested. Exactly
upon what basis of a settlement peace
could be secured, it is at present i'm
possible to see. but there is not the
slightest doubt that combined repre-
sentations. especially if led by Pres
ident Roosevelt. would have far
reaching result between two countries
one of which was thoroughly defeated
1t is comparatively easy to make
peace la this case, as neither side is
thoroughly defeated yet.
The prospects for the success OF
friendly intervention have vastly in
creased, Since the commencement OF
the war the two nations now respect
each other to a degree never dreamed
of before they met in battle. That mu-
tual respect is the most hopeful factor
for peace.
Doesn't Want TO Fight Forever.
Japan does not want to go on fight
ing forever. Yet. even with all the
victories won during this war. her
statesmen would render themselves liza
BILE to be most seriously misunderstood,
especially in Russia, If they openly
suggested in the name of humanity
some method whereby the war could
be stopped. 1t would be altogether
different, however. at this stage of the
war, should a friendly offer. prompted
by that sense of humanity which Ia
pan cannot voice for fear of being mis-
understood, emanate from the United
States and Great Britain, but nothing
can be done until the fall of Port
Arthur"
