to Japanese railway companies and raw cotton for private consignees in Japan asked ese foreign office if this class of cargo could safely be accepted. Foreign Secretary Lansdowne made two replies, on October 10 and October IA. He said that the negotiations with Russia, which are still proceeding, had only resulted thus far in the admis- sion of the principle that rice and pro- visions were conditionally contraband and therefore he could not undertake to say that vessels carrying cargo of the nature indicated would be immune from capture.

St Petersburg, Oct IS COS p. m.)-- An announcement from Washington saying that the administration believed that the time for mediation in the far eastern war was approaching has ere ated an unfayorable impression i'll gov. ernment circles here, where there is m inclination to associate it with the interview of the Associated Press with a diplomat at Tokio suggesting the pro priety of renewing the efforts ill be- lialf of the restoration of peace. The idea of peace, it is asserted here, could hardly come more inopportunely, with the Japanese in the full flush of yic- tory. It has aroused only resentment and there is no doubt that if President Roosevelt should actually attempt to open the question at this time he would meet with a rebuff.

MANY DELEGATES
I. o. o. F. Men in Annual Meeting at the
 Park City.

Bridgeport, Oct 18.-The Grand en. campment, I. O. O. E. of Connecticut, met in annual session in PeQuonnock hall here to-day, with an unusually large attendance of delegates from the subordiate encampments of the state. All the officers were at their stations and the deliberations were presided over by Grand Patriarch Newell J. Bailey. The first business called up was the annual report of the several officers.
 Grand Scribe Frederick Botsford. in his annual report, showed that the number of encampments July 1 was thirty-three, gain of one, and the total membership 3,913, net gain of 100 The total receipts by subordinate encampments for the year was $15- 449 making the total amount in hand for the year $63,098, out Of which were paid in expenses and relief SIS, ,893, showing net gain in funds for the year of $1,556. The total receipts of the Grand encampment for the year ending October 1 were $1,21S. figure well up to the average. Tn his recom- mendation the grand scribe says that great care should be taken in the ad- mission of candidates. See to it he says, "that none are seeking admission lIOtu S0luSn IuOllV0S or Ir0Iu ES110 CUTI- osity. Keep in touch with the young men from the day of admission, get them interested, and when you find an enthusiastic worker advance him to an official position"
 Grand Patriarch Newell J. Bailey in his report. dwells on the unusually prosperous year the Grand encamp- ment had just passed through. AfteF describing his official visits to the sub ordinate encampments, he makes the following recommendation: That a charter be granted to Nutmeg encamp- ment, No 33; that encampments im- prove every opportunity to bring be- fore the members of the subordinate lodges the advantages of patriarhcial Odd Fellowship by holding public meetings; that every encampment have roll call once year; that more em- phasis be placed upon the proper use of the ritual; that the stronger en. calnpments help the weaker ones by fraternal visits and invitations: that the system of district meetings be adopted. Tn conclusion he thanks his brother officers for the ,fraternal feel ing they have shown him during his term of office.
 The grand representa- lives, Daniel NJ. Davis and Marcus L. Reynolds, in their annual report, describe at length the proceedings of the Sovereign Grand lodge which was held in San Francis. co last month.

Stephen 3. Elllins, of West Virginia,
and grandson of that tried and true
I old Democratic war horse. Henry G.
Davis, nominee for the Vice Presi-
dency, We're in Chicago the other day
a venturesome reporter attempt
ed to interview them, but was not
successful. AS was only natural to
suppose, the views of these young
men, being sons OF a Republican Sen
ator and grandsons of Democratic
running mate, would interest the pub
lie. But disappointment was in store
for those who had been anxiously
waiting to hear what the young West
Virginians might have to say concern
ing the nations affairs. Mr.. Blaine
Elkins, when asked zw1l ether he per-
ceived any rocks or suspected the
presence Of any reefs in the course
ahead of the ship of state, said:
My brother and 1 don't know any
thing about politics.
1t is really not surprising that even
the son of a Senator and the grand
son of a candidate for the Vice Pres
idency should be ignorant concerning
matters political. Indeed, it would be
astonishing if they knew anything
about politics. 1t may be said that
there are sons of Senators who don't
know about anything, and of all things
in this glorious country of ours, the
one that most people know the least
about is politics. Therefore we may
readily believe that Mr.. Blaine Elllins
spoke truly when he declared that he
and his brother didn't know anything
about politics; but it is astonishing
that he was willing to admit it. AS a
rule. men who know nothing about
politics look wise, indulge in dubious
of their heads and throw out
dark hints about the subject being too
delicate one to be discussed Gin the
presence of Mrs. Bof1in.'
Mr.. Blaine Elllins has shown that
he is a courageous young man, and it
is no more than reasonable to expect
him, if he lives, to be an honor to his
illustrious Republican father and his
venerable Democratic grandsre.

The County Court is now engaged

The Court has gone over the returns

Commissioner, and the result is stated

make this table correct, and it will
be found useful for future reference.
The result on County Commissioner
adding the vote Mr.. Fleming received
on both the Republican and Prohibit

ten on the face of the returns.
THIS MAJORITY is SO SMALL
THAT 1T CAN EASILY BE OVER

complete it. 1t is understood that Mr..

the face of the returns for the office
of Justice of the Peace of this dis

votes for that office. There has been
no demand for any recount for any

be none, for the maiorities are SO

Our good friend Col. Robert Lowe,
of Eldora. was in the city yesterday
and called in to see us. He said that
his junior could afford to be candi-
date for Vice President, he could af
ford to venture to town to attend to
some business. Colonel Lowe is So
years old, yet we are glad to say that
to him as to ex-senator Davis age is
no great burden. He is in very good
health and if it continue, as we hope
terially in bringing about Republican
success in November. Colonel Lowe
was Democrat until the second and
ruinous administration of Grover
Cleveland. For some time before that
he had believed in the Republican
doctrine of protection, but it was only
after the effects of free trade were so
that he ceased to affiliate with Democ-
racy. He, like thousands of Others
became Republican then and we are
pleased to say that our party has suf-
fered none by his advice and inf1u-
ence. Colonel Lowe is gentleman
Of superior intelligence, and is always
well posted on matters and things
generally. He was elected to the
Legislature back in the 7Os and was
a very creditable representative. He
was a Democrat at that time. The
West Virginian is proud to number
him among its stanchest friends.

The future looked none too bright and
the channel was strewn with dangers

overtake and undo the party organiza-
ton. But all these prophesies have
come to nauSht and Democratic sooth-
sayers are without honor in their own
