On the face Of the official returns
oyer ID. z. Jones in twenty-five election
districts recounted by referees ap-
pointed by the district court to conduct
the Haynes-Jones mayoralty contest.
At noon today the Jones plurality had
been cut down to 2l8 from the 256
reported by the canvassing board.
The great change was in the sixth
district of che fourth ward, which was
recDunted out of it's turn to satisfy
natural curiosity. 1t was in this dis
trlct that the official vote for Haynes
was entered thus: Zone hundred and
oight (148).'' The. numerals tailed
canvassing board was satisfied that M.
Haynes received l48 votes in that dis
trlct, but the lawyers held that the
written figure had the preference, and
Haynes was thereupon credited with
only JOB votes. The recount this morn
Ing showed that the Judges had made
that Haynes was entitled to forty more
votes than had been recorded for him.
There are two other districts showing
similar mistakes and it is conceded that
these will also go to Haynes, reducing
the tn Jones plurality to 1874: This is
outside from mistakes in entering totals,
no serious errors have been discovered.
In the eighteen districts of the third
ward, each candidate gained six votes.
In the first three districts of the first
ward, where important changes were
expected: Jones obtained a net gain of
two votes. One of the ballots thrown
out because the electors had signed his
name on the back, was marked for
Haynes, and had evidently been 50
counted by the judges Of the second dis
trict in which it had been cast. An
other rejected ballot had cross in
every square on the ticket. What the
fereesScoufd not tell, and they did i'd not
ponder long about it.. y.
A ballot found in the sixth district of
the fourth ward had several lines thru
the names of the democratic candidates
except the. candidates for city treasurer
and one member of the school board. 1t
was contended that the intention was to
vote the straight democratic ticket, but
it was thrown out nevertheless.

Russians Pray for Success,

ST. PETERSBURG, June ia feel
ing prevails that the crisis in Port
Arthur affairs is rapidly appro aching.
Many persons spent the night in the
churches on their knees praying for
the success of the Russian arms. Re.
lief is felt in official circles at the re.
moval OF dissension in military cir.
cles. 1t is understood that the sole
responsibility devolves on General
Kuropatkin and no serious ATTEMPT
will be made to relieve Port Arthur,
LIAOYANG, June 1l.-Reports from
Chinese sources are to the effect that
the Japanese forces near Port Arthur
have been heavily reinforced. 1t is
believed that an attempt to take the
fortress by assault will be made as
soon as the japanese are strong
enough to invest it on the land side
and at the same time protect them
selves from a possible attack in the
rear in case the Russians sent a force
from the north. There are persistent
reports again that the Port Arthur
squadron has succeeded in making a
sortie, but no official confirmation of
the report is obt ainable.

office is in possession of information
which the officials declare warrants
a contradiction OF the reports brought
by Chinese fugitives TO Chez Foo, of
a four days land and sea attack on
Port Arthur and of extensive damage
to the forts. An official dispatch from
Rear Admiral Wittsoeft reports that
the enemy has been bombarding Port
Arthur internationally from the sea.
The general staff seems certain hat
the enemy's siege guns have not vet
been brought up.
LONDON, June lO.-Little news Of
Importance has reached London from
the seat Of war during the last u
hours, and the reports that Chinese
fugitives from Port Arthur have given
to the Chez Foo correspondents of En-
glish newspapers do not agree sufi-
ciently to carry much weight. Ac.
cOrdlng to one account, the Chinese
at Port Arthur have been given three
days in which to depart. Thereafter
none will be allowed to leave.

men of Minnesota, Kansas, Missouri,
Wisconsin,, Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, Ok

bled in conference here to discuss
transportation facilities, storage and
various other matters affecting the
-four milling industry. Foremost
among the legislative measures which
are being pushed by the millers is the
Lowering bill pending in congress.
The bill is intended to simplify the
matter of American millers getting
back in rebate the amount of duty
they have to pay on foreign wheat
when the cereal is manufactured into

alliance, which has sent decree
broadcast that every person connected
with any union here must either sever
his or her connection with such organ.
ization or leave the district. This
latest stand of the anti.unionists was
vaguely limited at two days ago, but
the movement on the part of the al
lance seemed 50 absurd to the 5000
or 1900 unionists in the camp, and its
enforcement fraught with so many diff.
iculties that it was not taken seriously.

one OF the executors of the Stratton
estate, is here in conference with the
Citizens alliance leaders, and it is

which will be presented to every mer-
chant and business man and other
employers of labor in the entire dis
trict, pledging them not to employ any
person who is affiliated with a labor
union.
