RESULT IN MAINE.
Democrats Made Slight Gains at the
State Election Monday.
REPUBLICAN PLURALITY OF $4,000.
Manufacturing CenteRs UnfFiendly
to the Party in PoweF-Legisla-
turo VIII REFLECT Senator
Hale-A Heavy Vote.

Portland. Me-. Sept. 13.-Republic-
ans carried the state in the biennial
election Monday, returns indicating q
plurality Of about $4,000 for William
Cobb, the republican candidate for
governor, compared with 1884 for
Hill, the party candidate four years
ago.
Early returns show that the demo-
Gratis have probably made slight gains
in both branches of the legislature,
but that the body will remain strongly
republican and will probably re-elect
United States Senator Eugene Hale.
The vote cast was the heaviest since
1888.
Among the first reports were from
some of the manufacturing centers.
The cities Of Saco. Biddeford, Auburn.
Waterville, Rockland and Lewiston
gave their returns very early and the
figures indicated democratic gains
grew steadily. Later, however, when
the towns began to be heard from a
decrease was noted and by the time
$50 of the 522 cities, towns and planta-
lions had been tabulated there was a
net gain in favor Of the republicans.
With, the receipt of 200 towns, how
ever, the democrats began to make up
lost ground, the totals showing small
republican net loss. Both candidates
were successful in their own cities,
Mr.. Cobb carrying Rockland by 1857,
Mayor Cyrus W. Davis, the democratic
candidate, winning his own city by 38
votes. Lewiston also went for Davis
by 576, which was the largest single
gain made by the democrats In the
early returns.

Believed That Final Onslaught is at
 Hand.
 Paris, Sept. 24.-The Mathis St. Petersburg correspondent telegraphs as follows:
 Telegrams of which the general staff have as yet no knowledge reached the emperor at o'clock this morning. l can affirm that they concern Port Arthur. regarding which place the greatest anxiety prevails at court. The Japanese are now engaged in a general assault which Is more furious than its three sides simultaneously and employ ed to finish the business. Russian mines blew up whole battalions.
 General Fock, especially distinguish ed himself, directing the fire from the wall, which the Japanese reached after indescribable massacre.
 The whole of Admiral Togo and Vice-Admiral Kamimura's squadrons are aiding the struggle which it is fear ed here will be final. The beseiged forces are fighting as in a furnace. A perfect storm of shell is falling on the town, port and fortress from the whole hill and roadstead. General Stoessel is going from fort to fort encouraging the defenders In their desperate ef- forts.
 In St. Petersburg the facts concern ing the tragic event which perhaps will terminate by a glorious fall of Port Arthur. are wholly unknown. At court hope has not yet been entirely abandoned.

President Bewden Orders Men in Three Districts to Go Out-Believed to Be Downfall of
 IJnfOnfgm.

Knoxville, Tenn, Sept. 23.--The miners of district No. 19, United Mine Wokers, have voted. by an overwheim- ing majority. against the acceptance of the operators proposal to reduce the wage scale about per cent. The offi- cial count of the vote, which was giv- en out this morning. Is 1,S4S votes against acceptance. and 569 1-2 votes in favor of acceptance. Of the subor- dinate unions in the district thirty vot- ed against acceptance and twelve in favor.
 The national officers of the United Mine Workers recommended that the proposition be accepted. and strike be avoided.
 This afternoon at district headauar- ters of the United Mine Workers the following telegram was prepareS and ordered sent to each of the local unions throughout the district:
 "Operator's proposition rejected. practically three to one against accept ing. This means a strike in sub dis tricts one, two and three. (Slgned. ) John F. lBowden, President; J. s. Mo- Cracken. Secretary
 Districts No. 19 has four sub dis tricts. In the fourth district the con- tract does not expire for some months, hence the men are not called out. 1t is believed that every union workman in the district will lay down his tools today in response to the notice sent.
 Secretary McCracken estimates that between 1000 and 4,500 union men will go out and between 1000 and l,500 non-union workmen. the latter on a sympathetic strike, or because they will not work at reduced wages, but many of them are non-union men. The mine workers are not in position to re- ceive anything more than moral sup port from the national organization for the reason that the national officers counseled against the strike and rec commended that the proposition of the operators be accepted.
 The operators held a meeting this afternoon and resolved not to run their mines except at the wage scale offered the men in the recent conferences, [ per cent reduction. Many of the op- orators believe that this step marks the beginning of the end of unionism througnout this district.

New York, Sept. 23.--tSpecial.)- J.
 gether with other members of the Associated Press I called on Judge Par ker today at the Hoffman House. We were cordially received and the next President had a pleasant word for ev- cry one of us.
 He has full knowledge and the high est appreciation of what the Southern newspapers have done for the party. He spoke to. me especially of The Ad- vertiser, which he reads frequently. He is perfectly familiar with its out spoken policy and it's advocacy of his nomination during the campaign prior to the St. Louis Convention. He was profuse in his expressions of thanks and appreciation of the work of The Advertiser.
 Regarding the nomination of Her rick for Governor of New York Judge Parker is thoroughly pleased. He stated to me that if the nomination of the State ticket was yet to be made and he was given the privilege of naming 1t he would nominate none others than those named by the New York Convention. He Is very hopeful of the outlook for the party in the campaign, believing that the divided clements have now become so united and the differences so completely ad- justed that all factions of the party will work together earnestly and en- thusiastically for Democratic success In the November election

Mukden. Sept. 23.--The Russians are using war balloons south of Mukden for the purpose of observing the oper- ations of the Japanese in that direc- ton. The line of outposts established by the Japanese Is so cffective that not even the Chinese have been able to penetrate it. It Is impossible, there fore, to say definitely how Marquis Oyama has disposed his forces.
 It Ia said General Kurokis army stretches from Bensiahui to Bentsia- putse and the armies of Generals Oku and Nodzu from Yentai along the high road and railroad to Shahepu sixteen miles south of Mukden while a fourth army is moving from Dziantchan across the Da mountains.
 All these roads converge at Mukden Of the four armies those of Oku and Nodzu are nearest Mukden and their progress will have to be slackened in order to permit Kuroki and fiankinE columns time to come up. Meanwhile Oku and Nodzu have command of the railroads. Supplies Of grain and ann intuition are carried from Yentai over heavy roads exposed to capture by en- terprising Cossack raiders. There has been an improvement in the weather at Mukden which Is of great help to the Japanese.

 ants to Bill.
 Chicago. Sept. 28.--Asking an ac- counting from the Illinois and Georgia Improvement Company for a loan of s750,o00 made April 1, 1901, and seek ing to secure the payment of the mon ey, the American Trust and Savings Bank, as trustee of the collateral se- curity, has filed bill in the Superior Court. in which sixty-two prominent Chiceysens are made defendants as stockholders of the corporation.
 Among those mentioned in the bill are William A. Pinkerton, William A. Fuller, Granger Farwell. William Havemeyer and others interested in the improvement. The bill asserts that the $750,000 was obtained for the purpose of paying the indebtedness of the company, and to build an extension to the Macon. Dublin and Savannah Railroad from Dublin to Lyons, Ga. ! It is asserted no interest has been paid on the bonds by the railroad and that many of the stockholders want the stock and bonds sold to satisfy the in- debtedness. Others are resisting the action. %
 The trust company wants the i'm provement corporation to. account for what is due on the promissory note and asks that it's interests as trustee be protected. The bill also asks tha, in the event Of the sale of the collat- eral security the court appoint a res ceiver for the improvement company to conduct the sale.

 The dead--Henry c. Fowler. of Burl- ington. general superintendent of tho mill; Lee Hurst, fireman; H. c. Bras well; George Mclean (colored) Fatal ly scalded: Henry Wall, colored. Both the latter were employees of the mill.
 From the best information obtainabie it seems that the old fireman of the mill having just been discharged. the new man not thoroughly understanding the engine, had gotten up too much steam.
 The engine refused to work and the fireman went after the superintendent. As they entered the engine room together, there was a rending roar and the men were blown to pieces.

FOUR ARMIES PRESS ON

Secrecy wells the movements of the Japanese armies in Manchuria and ht- tie that is indicative of developments in the situation is permitted to reach the correspondents. Apparently four Japanese armies are converging upon Mukden, but although the distance to be covered is not great, several days are expected to elapse before there ensues a battle with the forces under General Kuropatkin
 Improvement in the weather condi- tions is regarded as advantageous to the Japanese. There is no news from the direction of Port Arthur though 1t seems probable that fighting is in pro- gress there. There is no confirmation of the report that the Russian cruiser Gromoboi has left Vladivostok in pur- suit of a Japanese transport.
