REPUBLICANS CLAIM GAINS.
Hope to Increass Congressional Dele
cation From Kentucky.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
LOUISVILLE, KY, November 6.-Reports
from various parts of the state indicate
that heavy vote Is being cast, especially
in the third. fifth and ninth districts,
where 1t is generally conceded that the
congressional races will be close. Indica-
lions are that Parker will carry the state
by probably from 1900 to 1900. The re-
publicans in the fifth, or louisville district,
are claiming that their full strength is
being poiled, and that William Owens will
be elected to Congress by small majority.
This is denied by the democrats. who say
that reports received by them indicate Rep
resentative Snirleys reelection by over
LOCO majority. Owens chances look better
today than at any time previously, and he
may succeed mi carrying the district.
In the third district reports Indicate that
the democrats are uneasy concerning the
fate of their candidate for Congress, James
M. Richardson, and the republicans claim
that Judge Jones stands an excellent show
of election. H'4p' ~ -
Little news has been received from the
ninth, but the reports which are coming in
show that much interest is manifested,
though Representative Keh1 seems to be
ahead OF Judge Bennett. the republican can
didate for Congress. II

Louisville by deputyo1United States mar

THE SECOND PEACE CONFERENCE.
Proposal of the President Received at
St. Petersburg.

ST. PETERSBURG, November S.-For-
eign Minister Lamsdorff has received
through Charge d'Affaires Eddy the Ameri-
can proposal for a second peace conference
at The Hague, to proceed with the work
begun in 1899, especially relating to the
rights and duties of neutrals and other
questions, like the bombardment of unde-
Tended coast towns, left undecided by the
former conference.
The note, it is understood. takes pains to
avoid the appearance of desiring to wound
the susceptibilities of Russia the action of
the United States having been prompted by
the initiative of the St. Louis peace con-
gress. No response has yet been made,
but there is strong reason to believe that
although Russia cannot show offense at the
proposition from the United States at this
time, inasmuch as the United States was
actually at with Spain when Emperor
Nicholas proposed the original conference,
Russia will decline to participate so long
as the war lasts.
At the foreign office the opinion has been
profitable. enabling the powers to agree
upon many vexed problems, but that it is
impossible for Russia to participate during
the war in a conference whose tendencies
will be to limit the activity of belligerents
and in which questions with a bearing upon
the present struggle are sure to come up
for discussion.
The emperor left st. Petersburg this after
noon for Wilma and Poland to bid farewell
to the troops. He will be gone week.

Odds 5 to l That Roosevelt

A VERY HEAVY VOTE
RETURNS FAVORABLE TO RE-

Dawson, Republican Candidate for
Governor, Extensively Scratched,
but May Pull Through.
A VERY HEAVY VOTE
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
WHEELING, w. Va, November S.-By
noon today two-thirds of the vote in Wheel
ing was cast. The returns show that Roose-
welt will have large majority on the state
ticket. There has been good deal of
scratching by the republicans on account of
the opposition to Dawson, but the repub-
lican leaders nevertheless. through the In
fluence of the Roosevelt vote, expect to elect
the governor and retain the control of the
legislature.
Returns from different parts of the state
show the same state Of affairs as here in
regard to Dawson opposition. RoOsevelt's
majority is being put anywhere from 10000
to 10000
Voting was begun early today and it was
seen from the first that heavy vote would
be cast. The polls close at 4:J0 o'clock.
With the first returns that came in from
other counties 1t became apparent that
Roosevelt was starting with a good lead,
which later returns only increased.
From counties In the southern end OF The
state. particularly. there has been good
good deal of scratching by the republicans
and the democrats predict that they will
carry the state and elect Cornwell.
Returns in regard to the national ticket
however. are such that the republican lead
ers are hopeful that the Roosevelt whirl-
wind will lead Dawson over, and also re-
turn the majority of the Legislature.
Probably the heaviest vote ever cast In
the state will be polled today.
Having been the seat of one of the strong
est campaign fights this year. all of the
parties of the state have got out their full
force. The democrats, particularly, are lin
ed up solid.
Though they can hope for victory only on
the state ticket, and that through scratch
ing by republicans. and the Roosevelt vic
tory, is expected to offset this.
The betting is to on Roosevelt, and on
Dawson and Cornwell. even.

IN NATIONAL PARKS.
Proposed Remaining of Giant Trees of
California.

Capt George F. Hamilton, 9th United
States Cavalry, mas submitted his annual
report as acting superintendent of Sequoia
and General Grant National parks to the
Secretary of the Interior. Capt. Hamilton
was in command of Troops and B of the
9th Cavalry and took charge of the park
May 20. He continued on duty as acting
superintendent throughout the season, be-
ing relieved October Is. Capt. Hamilton
makes a number of recommendations re-
garding the conduct of the affairs of the
parks, one of the most important being a
suggestion that the trees in the park be
renamed. 1t is well known that this par
ticular park was formed for the purpose of
protecting the giant trees Of California.
Many of these trees bear names. but, ac-
COY ding to Capt Hamilton, the names have
been given without authority or system.
He suggests that the present names should
be removed from the trees and that a sys-
TEN of naming be prescribed by the Secre-
tary of the Interior.

ing in States History.

the history of the state Ideal weather pre-
vailed. Republicans conceded the defeat of
Gov. L. F. C. Garvin (democrat). as posi-

gressional contests was beclouding both
the gubernatorial and presidential contests

heavy percentage for the morning as the

FRAUD ORDER ISSUED.
New York Concern Barred From the
Mails.

A fraud order was today issued by the
Post Office Department against the Modern
Watch Manufacturing Company of New
York for violation Of the postal laws and
regulations relating to lotteries. This con-
Germ. which, the Post Office Department
says, depended entirely for it's business
upon work-at-home scheme, has not been
known to make any watches, and has other
wise acted without good faith In the prose
cutiOn O. It's business.
Like many others. the scheme was to
offer work writing letters at $25 per thou
sand. One dollar had to be deposited with
the company by those desiring work. as an
evidence that they would perform their
part of the contract. The representa- lions
of the concern were without any founda-
ton in fact, payment for the work being
entirely dependent upon a very rapid and
steady growth in the remittances of 81
each. Every worker, therefore, was help
ing to pay himself, and as soon as remit
tances failed to arrive the concern must of
necessity fall.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The Washington stock exchange enjoys
the distinction of being the only exchange
In this country that was open today and
doing business. This is not a new exper-
fence. as it has been the case for some
years past. but the recurrence especially of
the quadrennial event. is always duly i'm

who might be forgetful Of the unique place

change occupies Presidential election
day is legal holiday as 1t happens In the
states where stock exchanges are organ
lied and as the District has no use for an
election day, 1t is deprived of a holiday al
though 1t Is the opinion Of large number
that the latter could be fully utilized.
IN many states the national banks are
closed. as they always are on days which
are made legal holidays by the laws Of the
states In which the banks are located
There are sixteen states and several terri
tories where the national banks, as is the
case In the District, have their doors oman
and are doing business as usual TO-DAY In
the adjoining state of Virginia this day ia
not a legal holiday. while In the state oS
Maryland the opposite is true.
There Is good deal Of comment caused
by the announcement for the Commercial
National Bank that at the close of business
iast evening the deposits passed the million
dollar mark. It is thought this Is : nba-
nomenal record, as the bank has been in
business only since the 10Th OF October
and Will not complete until tomorrow the
first three weeks Of its existence.
Quite a good deal of business was done AZ
today,s meeting Of the stock exchange. AL
