ing some mines she ran upon rocks from

hilated Port Arthur is said to be entirely
out of beef and vegetables and drawing

Dalny for refugees, chiefly Japanese wo-
men. While leaving Port Arthur with all
lights out she fired upon by a Russian
cruiser, fifteen shots striking her upper
works. 1t was subsequently explained that
she was mistaken for Japanese torpedo
combed with mines. Nothing was seen on
the passage to this port of either the
Russian or japanese fleets.

Milwaukee. Nov. lO.-The result
OF the election in Wisconsin shows
that Governor LaFollette has been
reelected by $4,000 and that the
congressional complexion remains UNI
changed from two years ago. The
Legislature which will elect n senator
to succeed Quarles, is largely republi-
can, and the primary election law
carried by a safe majority. Social
democrats elected four assemblymen
and one senator.
Perhaps the greatest surprise was
the narrow margin on which Con
gresham Babcock pulled through.
His plurality OF 5000 two years ago
was cut to about 500. This was
caused through this war of the state
administration on him.

THAT eminent Judges make dis

suit is less personal to Judge Parker

country in 1900 with a fairly united
party behind him. nor Judge Parker

conditions-both candidates being
personally acceptable-what short of
some decisive break in the republican
lines can give the opposition. under
whatever style of category ii ranges
itself, any chance Of overcoming the
gigantic oligarchism embraced by the
party in power, with its abundant
machinery, its money and resources

Happily the world does not end
