across the river into Ohio, where

similar crimes and have success

Johnson's funeral services were
conducted by Rev. W. II. Brown al

Somerset Central Society

A special meeting Of the Somerset
Central Agricultural Society was held at
Danforth & Gould's office Monday after
noon, there being about a dozen men,
bers present. The affairs of the society
were talked over In a general way and
adjournment was made to Monday, Nov.
% b, at which time matters of import
ance to every member will be transacted.
A movement is under way by the
oranges of Somerset county to lease the
grounds of the society for a term of
years, as has been outlined In the RE-
PORTER previously, but as yet are not
far enough perfected SO that any active
measures or straight proposition can be
made. We learn, also, that the society
is considering proposition from Show
hegan's business men who have in view
the leasing of the grounds, subject to
certain conditions to be imposed by the
society.
We have no doubt one or the other of
parties mentioned will make deal, and
to our mind, no matter which one, Ii
can bat react with benefit to our town
and county as well.
1t you are member of the society,
make point of being present at the
next meeting.

Nominee Parker sticks with mule-like
obstinacy to the theory that he was de-
feated by money. Ii the election had
been close one, there might have been
modicum of sense IN the charge, but
with more than 100000 plurality, it
becomes nonsense. The fact is, the use
Of money could NOT prevent the tidal
wave that swept Roosevelt into the Pres
idential office. An instance of the fal-
lacy of this theory is cited by an ex-
change in the following pertinent
| words
"Who believes that Missouri was
bought? 1t WAS one of the States which
received comparatively little attention
| from either OF the national organizations,
because the casting of the usual plural
| ity for the Democratic ticket was taken
for granted. Missouri proves that the
election turned chit fly on the merits of
the case. Thousands of the voters split
their tickets, Democrats voting for
| Roosevelt and Folk and Republicans
doing the same and supporting the re-
| form candidate for governor, not because
he was a Democrat but because he was a
reformer who had backed up words
with deeds. Money could not have
| bought a Republican plurality of $4,000

The War.

Frequent fighting between the oppos
ing patrols occurs daily. The Russians,
with heavy howltzer and 9 inch gun bat
teries, shell the Japanese trenches and
give the working parties little respite
Large numbers OF Russian officers are
arriving at the fort to replace those who
have fallen The Russian army is
realizing moro fully day by day the
enormous task involved in driving back
the Japanese Great hopes, however,
are placed on the Russian second Pa
cifc squadron The troops are now
better fed than at any previous period
and the roads are in good condition, en-
abling requirements to leave the trains
at stations up the line and march to
Aukden thus relieving the pressure on
the railroad.
The Japanese governments bill to
meet the expenditures necessitated by
the war proposes to increase the import
duties 800 900 yen, distributed in small
amounts on various imports The
largest increases will be ON tobacco,
kerosene, glassware and beverages.
Baron Some, minister of finance, in
answering the critisms regarding the
terms of the latest foreign loan, admit
ted that they we're not satisfactory, but
said the delay in capturing Port Arthur
and the departure of the Baltic fleet
created difficulties in the negotiations
which compelled Japan to accept terms
that were less favorable than those
governing the first loan
The Foreign Office at st. Petersburg
has considered the text of President
Roosevelts proposal in regard to another
peace conference at The Hague, which
was received, saturday. Ii is stated
that the Foreign Office is not convinced
of the opportuneness of the Presidents
proposal, 1t is probable that a long re-
ply will be prepared with the object of
demonstrating that the question which
has arisen is capable of settlement after
the war.
Russian torpedo boat destroyer
from Port Arthur put in at Che Foo,
Tuesday night It is understood ii was
bearer of important dispatches from
Gen. Stossell to 81 Petersburg, asking
the authorities for instructions as to
whether he would continue to hold out,
awaiting relief, or make immediate ar.
rangements for surrender upon the
most advantageous terms possible
This rumor cannot be confirmed, but it
is obvious that only dispatches of the
highest importance would compel Gen
Stossell to risk the loss of a warship by
sending her out upon such mission in
face of the rigid blockade maintained
off Port Arthur by the japanese fleet.
Advices reached 81 Petersburg, We'd
nesday, but were not made public
On Wednesday the boat was blown
I'D in Che Foo harbor.

pursued by President Roosevelt, not
only in taking the initiative in second
conference at The Hague but in the pend.
ing negotiation of an arbitration treaty
with France This is likely to be follow
ed by like agreements with other powers
The President has suggested to the Ger
man am bassador that II his government
were willing to,enter into a convention
similar to that agreed on with France,
he would be pleased to approve it. This
conversation led to communications with
Berlin, as the result of which We may
expect at any time to learn that treaty
with Germany has been signed Un-
official assurance have also been receiv-
ed from Great Britain and Mexico that
the governments of those countries are
prepared to negotiate arbitration treaties
and it is also understood that number
of the Central and South American re-
publics are ready 10 become parties to
similar agreements with the United
States. 1t seems evident that the move
ment in the direction of arbitration as a
substitute for war is steadily growing in
force
