That Body.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Nov. S.-President
Roosevelt is assured of the co-opera-
ton of a Republican Congress. The
present Republican majority in that
body is "a, and there need be no sur
prise if this figure is almost doubted
and it is reasonably certain to reach
a majority of at least fifty In prac-
tically all districts the Republicans
have held their own while in some sig
nificant instances the Democrats have
lost. Probably the most marked Of
these cases are the Fourth and Fifth
Districts of California (San Francis

tives Livernash and Wynn, Demo-

reported to have defeated Badger. the

surprising of all the reports, however,

Mr. Cowherd, Chairman of the Demo-
cratic Congressional campaign commit
tee The Republicans claim to have
carried both districts. In the light of
these reports a Republican majority
of fifty in the House is considered Il
conservative estimate.
Returns from the Southern States
show that they have returned the usu-
al Democratic majorities on Congress
men as on other candidates.
The States of Alabama, Arkansas.
Florida, Georgia. Mississippi, North
Carolina, South Carolina and Texas all
send solid Democratic delegations.
while those from Kentucky and Vir-
ginia, probably each will send only one
Republican Representative. making no
change from the present complexion.
Tennessee will continue to send two
Republican congressman. There are
several solid Republican delegations
already reported from Northern States,
including Iowa with one possible ex-
cention1: Kansas. Minnesota, New
Hampshire and the two Dakotas. To
these must be added the delegations
from Maine, Oregon and Vermont, in
which states elections were held prior
to Yesterday. Other states such as
Michigan. Illinois, Ohio, PennsyI-

much i'm the way of gains. again send
10 Congress delegations which are pre-
ponderatingly Republican. In New

JUDGE PARKER is GAME.
He Sends Telegram of Congratula-
ton to President Roosevelt.

Esopus. y. Y, Nov. Judge Par
ker conceded the election of Presi-
dent Roosevelt at $50 p. m. when he
received telegram that the Demo-
cratic national headquarters had al
ready admitted that every doubtful
State had been carried by the Re
publican national ticket. He appear
ed to be not at all downcast by the
result. although it is known that he
greatly deplored his overwhelming
defeat i'm his own state. He received
the discouraging news in his study
where he sat smoking with two of
his neighbors. The bulletin from
Democratic headquarters. concerning
Judge Parker's defeat was given to the
judge by the Associated Press rep
reSentative.
When asked if he had any state
ment to make he pulled telegraph
blank toward him and wrote hastily
for a moment Then he said:
81 am going to send this telegram
to President Roosevelt" The mes
sage was dispatched at once. 1t was
as follows
''Rosemount. EsoDus. n. Y, Nov. s.,
$50 p. m.
1.-THE President, Washington.
1.-THE people by their votes have em-
Dhatically approved your administers
ton and heartily congratulate YOU.
(Signed)
CATION Il. PARKER"
At that hour returns were 1ndeti-
mite, and the judge declined to make
an extended statement. He said his
telegram to the President conveyed
everything about the situation that
he knew, that the result was evident
ly even though details were lacking.
The demeanor of Judge Parker as
he heard the bulletins read was of
cheerful resignation. He wore the
air of one who could say if he would
Il viii die game and die game he
did. He discussed the returns with
his friends and compared the figures
with former years. 1t might have
been some other mans defeat for all
the concern he seemed to feel.
In the village of Esopus there was
a genuinee grief manifested by DEM
ocrats who gathered in the two inns
and the railway station, at the dis
couraging character of the returns
for the village which Judge Parker
had failed to cary by fourteen votes.
The bonfire prepared for the occasion
was not lighted.
Judge Parker retired at 11:40
O'Clock declining TO make avn state
mcnt beyond that indicated by his
telegram to President Roosevelt.

Washington, Nov. S.-Surrounded
by his devoted family and a company
OF intimate personal friends, Prcsi-

news of his overwhelming victory.
The first information of definite

that he had carried New York by q

best of spirits but at no time did he
manifest the slightest nervousness or
anxiety. Soon after dinner company
of the intimate friends of the Presl-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt assembled
in the parlors of the White House
and extended their fluctuations and
congratulations TO both of them on
the result.
At 1915 o'clock the President left
his guests and went to his private of

he greeted cordially a large number

WEST VIRGINIA.
Election of a Republican
Governor.
(Rv the Associated Press. }

Parkersburg. w. Va, Nov. 9.-Wcst
Virginia seems to have kept pace with
the rest of the Union at Tuesdays
election. Returns which came in very
slowly last night have been received
today with considerable rapidity and
the result can be definitely stated.
Democrats concede that Roosevelt
has carried the State by over 5000
while the Republicans claim that
Roosevelts majority will be the largest
ever given to any candidate by the
State and may exceed 10000.
The Democrats have not conceded
the election of W. NJ. o. Dawson, the
Republican nominee for governor, al
though his election is claimed by the
Republicans by over 10000.
State Chairman O. S. Mckinney, of
Wheeling, says:
I'VE do not concede Dawson's cleo
ton.
Chairman Northcott says.
I'VE have carried West Virginia
by over 10000 for Roosevelt; over
10000 for Dawson and the entire
State ticket: we will have As majority
on joint ballot in the legislature and
have elected all five of our Congress-
men.
John G.. CornwelI, the Democratic
nominee for governor, ran far ahead
of his ticket and cut down Dawson's
majority materially.

~ d didIIldllc climax 10 the Sena-
torial majorities given him. came
President Roosevelts formal an
nouncement that he would not be a
candidate for reelection, lending the
only exciting aspect to an election
night otherwise so one-sded that it
was impossible for even the victors to
attain that degree of enthusiasm that
usually marks the occasion.
Talk of a New Party.
Late in the night came an announce
ment from Melville G.. PalIizer. man
ager of the campaign for Thomas f..
watson, the candidate of the Peoples
party, that as a result of the over
Whelming Democratic defeat steps
would be taken to form a new party.
To this end, according to the
announcement given out Mr.. Bry-
Randolph Hearst would hold a
conference in New York in about a
weeks time.
The period of suspense that fol-
lowed the closing of the polls was not
prolonged. In no election in recent
years has the result been definitely
known so soon. Hardly had the sun
gone down when results in New York
began to appear. BY o'clock it was
evident that the great empire state
had given the Republican candidates
q majority beyond the predictions of
the party managers. So convincing
was the story of the bulletins that at
half-past seven August Belmont at
Democratic headquarters conceded
Roosevelt's election by an overwheIm-
ing majority. and half an hour later
the Democratic leaders who had man
aged the campaign freely admitted
that the Republicans had carried
every doubtful state. There was no
disposition to hope against hope. AS
state after state sent in its Republican
majority and the wires told the tale
OF the ballots, bringing even from
those commemorative upon which
they based their figures of Democratic
success, reports of unprecedented Re-
publican majorities, they frankly con-
ceded their defeat and offered no ex-
PLANTATION. Soon after Mr.. Belmont's
admission Judge Parker acknowledged
the situation by telegraDhing President
Roosevelt his cor gratulations.
The perfect weather conditions
which prevailed over practically the
entire country brought out a vote
which experienced politicians predict
will be a record breaker and in this
increase of ballots the Republicans
gained more than their share.

London, Nov, 22.-The failure of
Russia's efforts to mobilize the army
reserve men in Poland is explained
and made clear in correspondence just
received from st. Petersburg.
1t seems that the trouble first arose
at Bieladny, near Warsaw, where a
sanguinary encounter was provoked
by the brutality of an officer. A
major was drilling a newly arrived
company of reservists. and becoming
enraged at their awkwardness abused
and assaulted several of them. At
last he turned on one man. whom he
had specially singled out for ill-treat-
ment, and dealt him a singing blow
across the face with his riding whip.
The man replied with a blow that
sent the officer staggering. Another
officer went to his assistance with
drawn sword, but the temper of the
men was now thoroughly aroused
and both men were felled to the
ground and savagely belabored with
the butt ends of fine soldiers rifles.
Two companies of the active army
came up at the double and charged
the reservists with fixed bayonets. A
savage encounter followed. The re-
servists were finally overpowered. hut
mot before a score of the regulars
were stretched lifeless in the barrack
square and SO others wounded. Fully
half the reservists were killed to-
gether with the two officers over
whom the trouble arose The sur
vlving reservists were led out the
next morning and summarily shot.
Following this affray there were
similar riots at many points through
"out Russian Poland and the situation
finally became such that the authori-
ties were totally unable to deal with
it. In all the cities and towns men
marched through the streets singing
Polish songs and voicing their oppo-
sition to the mobilizing of the re-
serves. The situation became SO
acute that the imperial authorities,
as announced in a st. Petersburg dis
patch of last week, to abandon al
further attempts to mobilize the ar
my reserve MIen in Poland and t@
send them to their homes

perhaps, have meats been so cheap
as they are quoted during the past
week, and it begins to look as II the
beef trusts and the stockyard strikes
of the East are without menace to the
people of Walla Walla.
Certain it is that there has been
no late decline i'm the prices of live
stock to warrant such a cut in prices.
Cattle are cheaper now than they
were two or three years ago, but they
are not nearly so cheap as 10 years
ago, 1t is stated when prices were on
an equality with those quoted now.
