1t is now generally accepted that there
is no chance of J. Edward Addioks be-
ing elected to the United States Senate by
the members of tiie Legislature, which
NETS in January. As stated in The Even
ing Journal yesterday there will be but
twenty-five Union Republicans on joint
ballot He will be five short as none OF
the men elected from this county will
vote FOR him.
The Republican leaders in this county,

alton will be the same as It was two

Of the besieged.
The Daily Nails correspondent be-
fore Port Arthur described the Rus
sian killed and those taken prisoners
as greatly emaciated and asserts that
the men subsist entirely on a daily ra-
ton of less than two pounds of black
bread
The Daily Telegraph's Chefoo corre-
spondent declares that the task of
burying the bodies of the slain at Port
Arthur is now beyond control, and that
the oorpses are simply pitched into
the new dock excavations near Golden
Hill. and where there is only a few
feet of water. The condition of the
helpless women is heartrending. Sew.
eral groups of them going to market
have been blown to pieces. The stree
scenes there are said TO be sickening.

Daily Telegraph a narrowing pictur
Of the condition Of the wounded il

are lying unattended within the inne

went on i'm this manner for some time
until Mrs. Dizer concluded that she
ought to receive a contribution from
her husband for her support and ac-

CHANGES LIKELY TO
BE MADE IN CABINET
CHAIRMAN CORTELYOU MAY SUCCEED SHAW
AS SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
HAD TO REMAIN AT POST

Washington. Nov. 1O-Now that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has been elected by the
people to serve a fun term OF four years,
beginning the 4th Of next March, It is ex-
pectod that several changes in tho Cabinet
will be announced not later than that date
1t can be said with confidence that no
formal arrangement has been made be-
tween the President and Mr. Hay as TO
the length Of time which the Secretary
shall serve. but IL Is just as certain that
the Secretary has no other intention at
present than to continue indefinitely as
Mr.. Roosevelt's chief Of staff. The prosi-
dent Is so confident of this that he has
talked with some Of his intimate friends
about it within the last few weeks, and
his confidence IN this respect was un-
douhtedly responsible for the recent state
ment ascribed 10 Benjamin lde Wheeler,
OF the University of California, that the
President has told him that Mr.. Hay had
promised TO remain in the State Depart
mont.
There Is reason to believe that either
the newspapers did not quote Mr.. Wheeler
literally. or that Mr.. Wheeler misun-
dcrstood what the President told him.
Al any rate. the fact sccms 60 be that
while Mr.. Hay has not promised TO re-.
main he has mo- intention OF resigninl

In speaking of the matter this morn
ing to a reporter for The Evening
Journal Presiding Elder A. S. Now
bray said:
"The necessities Of the case are that
the movements of population show that
reorganization is necessary and that
the church should keep step with the
development of the city. II is not a
part Of wisdom to hold to a declining
centre until compelled to give up. but
it is much better to forecast the changes
and move with the people.
'Kingswood Church for example is
the victim of circumstances. partly due
to railroad development which none Of
us could estimate. The utmost sym
pathy is felt for the heroic little band
and the board desires to give them
every consideration. meanwhile IT IS
their duty to look out for the best in
terests of the church they represent.

will also be affected. seems to be well
pleased with the suggestion"
