$4,000.

PORTLAND, Me, Sept, 1t-Returns
from the small towns in distant parts
of the State to-day and careful re-
vision of last nights figures place the
Republican plurality in yesterdays s
State election at about 27,000. The
Republican gain over 1900 is now esti-
mated a five per cent. and the Demo-
cratic gain at 24 per cent.
Additional returns in the Congress
sional districts have not altered the
result, all four Republican Congress
men being returned by plurallities
ranging from 5000 to 1000.
Next years Senate will probably
stand p Republicans and four Demo
Gratis, as against 90 Republicans and
one Democrat in the last Legislature.
1t is estimated that the House will be
121 Republicans and so Democrats.
The last House stood 131 Republicans
and 20 Democrats.
Chairman Simpson of the Republi-
can State Committee telegraphed
President Roosevelt that thes party
had carried the State by more than

eral kuropatkin reports, under to-day S
date, that the Russian rear guard of
his army is at Shakhe. and adds:
Our main forces are concentrating
at 'AIukden. The main Japanese force
is out of YenXi. white an additional
force of 5000 Japanese are at Ben
siEju.
The casualties about Lao Yang from
August 2S to September 5, were 5000
killed and 10000 wounded"
The continued inactivity of the Jap
anese has given General Kuropatkin
the chance he wished to fortify Muk-
den. which he now apparently intends
to hold.
While the situation at Mu>den is
thus improving, the state of affairs at
Port Arthur is becoming worse. The
army there is in a critical position
with no meat and flour. their main
food supply.
The ammunition supply is INSULT
cient for a long resistance. Prepara-
tions have been made to blow up the
forts, docks, etc, but this Will only be
done as desperate and last resort.
The defenders still hope to resist, until
they are relieved.

Rosa Lee, a soiled dove hailing from
Wilsonburg, were found by Chief
Morgan last evening in an alley low
ing up and drinking whiskey. He
chased them out and ordered them to
cease their oscillations, which they did
for two whole minutes. Both were
rather heavily laden with bar water
and after starting down Jefferson
street, decided to stop on Torry's steps
for some more slobbering and hug

joyed the exhibition. The Chief had
kept a watchful eye on the pair, and
arrived right in the middle of the
proceedings and locked them both up
The man made no excuses for his
conduct this morning, but Rosa told
