Parker and Davis.

4 s The returns from Missouri, Mary land and West Virginia are awaited with great interest. The first named is claimed by both sides, although 1t is generally conceded that Folk was elected governor by the democrats. The republican state committee, how ever, asserts that it's figures indicate the election of Walbridge by more than 2,0O0 and claims the state for Roosevelt by 10000.
 General belief at Wheeling is that Roosevelt carried West Virginia by more. than 10000, but the returns are extremely meagfe. Those so far re-, ceiyedA show only slight republican losses. It is thought probable that the legislature will be republican in both branches. This body will elect suc> cessor to Senator M. D. Scott.
 Returns from Minnesota indicate the election of the democratic candidate for governor, Johnson, who ran espe, cially well in the Scandinavian cOun- ties His success, however, had no effect on the national ticket, which went to Roosevelt by at least 100, ,00O. Some of the republican newspapers still claim that the state was not lost to their candidate, Dunn.
 Tn Wisconsin,, while the republican, national ticket went through by a heavy majority, it is thought that the legislature will be so divided between the republican factions that dead lock may occur over the choice of a successor to Senator Quarles.
 Complete figures are lacking from Iowa, but those at hand indicate the success of the entire republican state ticket. While Colorado probably gave Roosevelt 10000 plurality, the result as to the state ticket is in doubt. Scratched ballots were cast to the number of at least 10000 and the counting was very slow.
 On the Pacific coast, republican sue. cess was general. In California. where Roosevelt's majority will be at least 5O,OO0, the next legislature will be republican by a large majority. 1t will select successor to Senator Bard.
 Reports from Nebraska are incom. plete as to the state ticket, and the election of Berg is claimed by the democratic state committee.
 A feature of the returns from Mis- souri is the probable dereat of Repre- sentative Cowherd, chairman of the democratic congressional committee.
 Indications are that the 1m st house of representatives will be '..ayily re- publican. Dispatches so far received show that POP congressmen have been elected by the republicans against 13S by the democrats. Of the forty-fiye remaining districts, thirty-two are now represented by republicans and thir, teen by democrats.

LORD MAYORS SHOW.
DampsWeather Interfsred With Fss-
 tivities at London.

London, Nov 9.The circus pageant constituting the lord mayors show was somewhat more pretentious than usual to-day, but the effort was great ly marred by damp and windy weath- CT. The rain itself ceased soon before noon, when the procession started for the Guildhall, but the inclemency of the typical November day necessitated hidingsaN the brightness and color be- meath overcoats. The crowds were neither large nor over enthusiastic and the decorations had decidedly bedraggied appearance. The flags served the double purpose of lord mayors day and the kings birthday. The latter was also observed by tho firing of the usual royal salutes, etc.

GOOD ORDER
And Perfect Fire Drill Saved Many Lives in
 New York,

New York, Nov 9-The lives of twenty-five hundred school children were imperilled to-day when fire broke out in public school house on West 27th street. As soon as the fire was discovered the fire drill signal was sounded and the children formed into line and with scarcely no excite ment marched out of the burning building. Some of the pupils were scared and they were hurriedly hustled out by the teachers and fire men. The building was badly dam- aged and that no lives were lost was remarkable i'll view of all the circum- stances.

GREAT REJOICING.

St Petersburg, Nov 9, 12:27 D. m.- There is the greatest rejoicing here at the failure of the recent Japanese at- tacks on Port Arthur.

SHELLS CONTINUE TO
 DROP AT PORT ARTHUR
Bodies of Dead Lay Unburied for Several Days-Dogs Fed the Corpses-Reserve Men and Conscrips Riots Attracting Considerable Atention-Re- joicing at St Petersburg Over Japs Failure.

Chefoo, Nov 9 Q2:3O D. m.)-The Japanese continue to Lombard Port Arthur, and the shells are falling so in cessantly that the Russians have prac- tically abandoned the repair of the works protecting the harbor.
 Citizen volunteers and the police are now reinforcing the garrisons of the forts, according to the stories of Chi nese arriving here, sixty of whom left Port Arthur on November 8, owing to the high price of food.
 So many men were killed on both sides during the last assault that many bodies lay unburied, for days, and in some instances dogs which had been driven from the town assuaged their hunger by eating the dead. In a few cases where this was seen the Russian sharpshooterS killed the dogs.
 Some months ago the Russian au- thorities ordered that all dogs seen on the streets should be shot, with the re suit that half-famished creatures have been roaming the hills, becoming sav- age.
 The Chinese say that the; forts on Golden hill have done practically no firing for months past, and it is be- lieved their ammunition has run short.
 The demolition of the Chinese new. town is almost completed, thousand houses having been destroyed for thu valuable frewood they contained. The town is constantly catching fire, ana the majority of the warehouses ana stores belonging to foreigners have been burned to the ground.
