consequence, there have been a num-
ber Of desertions, and the purpose Of
the rank and file Of the Russian army
to hold out to death has been weak
ened.
BY far the most interesting feature
Of the week has been the peace talk.
Lord Lansdowne, the British Foreign
Secretary, strongly intimated in pub
lie speech that the time had come to
end the conflict. Baron Hayashi, Jap
anese minister to London, in two Or
three interviews, has talked peace.
Roosevelt has let it be known that he
will move for peace whenever such
good offices are acceptable to the COM
batants. st. Petersburg dispatches say
that the Gar himself is not averse to
the arbitration of the 'Russo-Japanese
troubles before The Hague. The Rus
sim students at the universities of
Odessa, Kieff and KharkOff have petit
toned the government to put a stop
to the slaughter. Among the Russian
people generally the war is far from
popular. Japan feels the expense be-
ginning to tell, and also feels that
when Port Arthur falls she will have
won practically all she was fighting
for-Port Arthur. Russia's evacuation
of Manchuria, and Japanese control
Of Korea. 1t would be n matter of
supreme difficulty and inferior utility
to drive the Russians pack to Harbin.
The Japs do not feel that the attempt
Is worth while.
The only hope for Russia to turn the
tide of war lies in her securing con-
troll of the sea. The only way she can
do this is for the Baltic squadron to
overcome Togo. This is most i'm
probable event. But from the Russian
point Of view perhaps it is worth try
ing, on the ground Of everything to
gain and nothing to lose.
Supposing, however, rs is more like
ly, Togo whips the Baltic squadron.
Then Russia can gain nothing by con-
tinuing the war. She never can bring
out over the railroad enough troops to
uiiNt tHt JuI'uh'sc tst'h oNSI tic
regions of Korea. The
best she can hope to do under any cir
would be TO regain the in
terror portions of southern Manchuria,
leavingth coast towns of Ncwchwang,
Port Arthur, Dalny, Takushan, An
tmg, as well as the Liaotung PENN
sula from Pitsewo southwark, in the
hands of the enemy. The interior
thus denuded Of all outlet to
the sea would be worthless.
That peace rumors are already rife,
spsinging from SO many and such
authoritative sources, leads TO the
cheerful probability that the war will
he over within six months ut the out
side.
The dearth of news from the front Is
compensated for by the many signid-
emit bits OF information from other

WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

~SSer~rNe.~~~Ne
The japanese blockade of Port Arthur,
according to dispatch from ChefOo, has
now been extended to distance of thir-
ty miles.
Mukden reports state that the artillery
duel at the Shakhe river continues inter-
mittently, but there are no signs of an
advance on either side.
The Russian consul at Bremen has Of
fcred in behalf of his government a SUBJ
stantial reward for evidence bearing on
the Dogger Bank affair.
A dispatch dated General Kuroki's
headquarters" states that the Russian
fire at the Shakhe river has done little
damage to the japanese
Reports from Berlin state that the
German Emperor looks to Roosevelt to
mediate in the war, and would second
any such effort to secure peace.
The forced issue of paper roubles has
not lowered the purchasing power Of
Russian money. The Japanese are pay.
ing for supplies with vouchers. which
the natives receive with suspicion.
Reports reach Toxic that the Russian
cruiser Gromoboi of the Vladivostok
fleet struck rock in Vladivostok harbor
recently and narrowly escaped sinking.
This would insure the continued inactiv-
ity of the feet.
Reports frcm Manchuria indicate that
the armies of Kuropatkin and Oyama
have suspended the campaign for tho
winter. The Japanese are building strong
defenses ut the Shakhe river and the
Russians are erecting warm shelters.
The official announcement that tho
Gar has approved the plan for double
tracking the Siberian railroad and that
S5,OOO,00O has been assigned for the be-
ginning of the project is greeted with
the heartiest approval by the Russian
press.
The Japanese have built tunnels to
within 100 yards of the main forts ut
Port Arthur, and are now in n position to
storm the works without losing a man
in the advance. Heavy siege and naval
guns have been mounted in the captured
positions, which are doing enormous exc
cution.
A correspondent at st. Petersburg as
serts that the Emperor has decided to
send out the second division of infantry
of the guards as soon rs the troops al
ready called out shall have been dispatch
cd to Manchuria. The guards usually
are only sent to the front when there is
n monarch or grand duke in command.
The dispatch of these troops, the corre-
sp,ndcnt adds. shows the determination
of the Emperor to struggle to the bitter

Tho armies facing each other along

GAS TANKS BLOW UP.
TERRIBLE EXPLOSIONS IN CHI.
CAGO ACETYLENE PLANT.
Many WOrkrien Killed and Injured
Fatal Blasts Come in Close Succession
Tanks Used in Equipment of Rail-
way Cors-Buildings Are Wrecked.

Death and chaos attended the explo-
sion of twenty-five acetylene tanks in
the gas-charging station of the Chicago
Acetyline Gas Manufacturing Com
pany at Seventy-third street and South
Chicago avenue station, Friday morn
ing. BY noon ten bodies had been re-
moved from the ruins and it was said
that perhaps dozen more employees
were missing. The tanks were of the
style attached to railroad cars for
lighting purposes.
Eleven of the tanks exploded in
short intervals by the blasts of the
others. The fire spread to the build
ing adjoining. belonging to the Peoples
Gas Light and Coke Company, and
threatened to reach the large storage
tanks of that company. Policemen
were sent about for Il mile radius
warning persons to move from their
homes.
Tie explosions were so fOrceful that
for radius of half mile windows
were broken and wallis of buildings
thrown out Of plumb. For fear that
the explosions might continue and
cause the blowing UP of the two big
tanks, which hold millions of cubic
feet of gas, no one would venture near
the ruins of the plant. The firemen
and the policemen at first refused to
venture near the place, because it was
known that the lead pipes into the
larger tanks might be at any moment
Il veritable fuse to set off enough gas
to raZe the vicinity.
At the first explosions many of the
men employed In the plant fled to the
street. These escaped with slight in
juries. Persons living in the vicinity
deserted their homes, storekeepers left
their stores and all fled with what val
uables they could seize amid the rum
bling and crashing of the tanks as
their steel sides were rent asunder.
Within few minutes not one house in
half mile radius of the gas plant was
occupied.
1t was momentIrily expected that
the larger tanks would explode. The
heat was SO tremendous that it drove
the firemen back, and for time they
were forced to throw water on the
blaze from blocks distance, mOmen-
tarily expecting to be hurled to the
earth by the explosion of the big tanks.
The flames were shooting hundreds Of
feet into the air, accompanied by
clouds of black smoke from the burn
ing gas. At intervals clouds of debris
consisting of bricks and iron from the
bursting tanks were thrown into the
air by explosions.
The explosion is believed to have
been caused by a search for leaks in
supply tanks made by one of the en-
plOyes. The twenty-five small tanks
in the storage building were each
stored with 2.250 pounds to the cubic
inch of space of acetylene gas. The
tanks are used to place beneath Pull
man sleeping ears and other railway
cars, and will supply one car with light
for six months. The twenty-five tanks
had been charged and were in readi-
ness for attaching to cars.

ALL BETTING RECORDS BROKEN.
Over a Million Dollars Wagered in
New York the Day Before Election.

Over a Million Dollars Wa2ered in
New York the Day Before Election.
Never before was there such betting
ON the day preceding election as there
was in New York Monday. The total
amount wagered was far in excess of ST.
100000. On Broadway the recorded
wagers aggregated over 100000, while
OH Wall street the amount put up was
more than 100000.
There seemed to be no end of money
in the hands of those anxious to back
Roosevelt at almost any odds. The pre-
vailing figures were 6 to l and 5 to 1.
On Herrick the odds ranged at about .
to /. Thousands of dollars were wag-
cred that Roosevelt would carry the State
of New York, the odds being 2 to 1.
Plenty of money was covered even that
Roosevelt would have 10000 plurality in
the State.
That the election does not always go
with the odds has been repeatedly DEM
onstrated. In 1884 the odds ranged from
5 to to 10 to Z on Blaine, but Cleveland
was elected. In 1883 the odds were 2
to 1 in favor of Cleveland. but Harrison
was elected. In 1892. when Cleveland
was elected, the bets We're even. Dur
ing the 1896 and 1900 campaigns the
odds were in favor of Mckinley.

Clledga. of Chicago trade says:
- Business suffered only
slight interruption considering the i'm
portance of the presidential election,
and the outcome caused much conf
dence. Official figures place the corn
crop only slightly behind that of the
great record of 1902. and this is strong
ly supplemented in the fact that prices
in the leading markets are fully one
fourth higher than Il year ago. llli-
nOiS and the other States directly trib-
utary to this commercial center again
are seen to have produced over one
half of the entire growth. The effect
of this inevitably inures to the benefit
of industry generally. this being appar-
ent already in new demands for mill
and factory output.
Mercantile dealings this week have
been equal to the volume expected.
More seasOnnbIe weather brought add
ed consumption of necessities. while
most of the manufacturing branches
exhibit steady gain i'll the forces em-
plOyed. Shipments to western points
remain heavy. Financial conditions
have not been subjected to any dis
turbing factor. Money is in larger
inquiry for contemplated enterprises
and mercantile settlements maintain
satisfactory promptness. Industrial
developments reflect further tendency
of an encouraging nature. Prices or
raw material now stand at level
which show rapid recovery. especially
in iron and steel. High prices prevail
in the markets fOr hides, leather. lum-
ber and coal, due in each instance to
lower available supplies. Farm imple-
ment and hardware factories. car, ma
chinery and electric works added to
their advance orders.
Board of Trade operations gradually
worked into heavy volume and prices
made recovery, compared with the clos
ings a week ago, due to sharp demand
in the cash divisions. Wheat and corn
both gained 3Hc per bushel and oats
