ALL IS QUIET At MUKDEN
JAPANESE WORKING HARD ON
ENTERTAINMENTS.
1t Is Believed They Are Preparing to
Make an AdVance-EVidence Indi.
Gates the Japanese to Force Russians
Out Of Mukden--Want It for Winter
Quarters.

Mukden, Nov 7.-Quiet continues
here. The Japanese are still working
hard entrenching their front, which
begins to look like a continuous fort.
1t is believed they are preparing seri-
ously to advance, making their front
strong, possibly in order that it may
be held by small force while the
heavier force engages in thanking
movements. The Japanese have learn
ed by bitter experience not to expect
much from frontal attack. They are
obliged, however, to maintain strong
front to prevent General Kuropatkin
from breaking through their line and
carrying the war to their rear.
There is considerable evidence to in
dictate that the Japanese will make
every effort to force the Russians out
of Mukden, not only for the moral
effect on Europe, but on China as well.
Mukden is extremely important to
them as winter quarters.
The Japanese continue to receive
achievements, and it is believed by
Russian military men that their only
chances for success in an advance
movement lie in that fact.

Japanese Pierce
Russian Center

Chicago, Nov. 8. "A special to the
Chicago Daily News from Dalny, says:
After three days of continuous bonn
bardment of Port Arthur the right
wing of the japanese army assaulted
Sojusan. Having carried these APP
proaches to that height the assailants
entrenched themselves under the glaces
of the forts. In, the evening the left
W ing delivered an assault on Kek wan,
fightingits way to the lower parapet.
There the japanese held their ground
stubbornly in the face of Russian coun-
ter attacks.
These operations have successfully
driven an effective wedge into the Rus
sian center. Severe explosions and ex-
tensive fires have occurred in the for
tress within the last few days. The
total casualties of the japanese in the
late attacks were 100, Over 1900
were killed up to October 80. The
spirit of the men is magnificent. The
firing of all of the guns is wonderfully
effective.
Having been reinforced during the
night the Russians charged down up
on the Japanese and desperate hand to
hand conflicts ensued. The japanese
beat back the enemy and destroyed two
covered positions in the front moat.
A Japanese sublieutenant with 80
volunteers then succeeding his making
way to the rear of the fort. There he
engaged in a personal conflict with
Russian officer and killed him. Hay-
ing discovered two more defenses in
the rear of the moat the sublieutenant
withdrew with his force with loss of
two men.
Later i'll the night the advanced TO-
sitlon of the japanese was taken and
retaken twice. The besiegers succeed
ed in holding the approaches and con-
structlng trenches, connecting them
with the armies front parallel. At
dawn numbers of dead were visible on
the slopes. Fort No. 6, north of the
new and old batteries in the left CEN
ter of the line of the defenses, was cap
tured by the severe fighting of the
night.
The climax of the late bombardment
came between 4 and O'Clock Sunday
afternoon. 1t was a superb spectacle.
Every fort of the enemy was engaged,
and the fighting in the trenches was
constant and severe. The outposts of
the contending forces were only forty
feet apart At 1o'clock this morning
one of the japanese trenches collapsed
into Russian gallery. The enemy,
being surprised underground, fed in
confusion.

perhaps superior judge Democrats
elect representatives and balance of
the county ticket.
Idaho Goes Republican.

Boise, Idaho, Nov. o. Sixty-three
precincts out of 4S2 in the state give
Roosevelt 8005, Parker 3191, Gooding,
for governor, 70l5, Heitfeld 4011.
Only 2 of II counties represented in
the returns so far. A plurality of 90
900 for Roosevelt seems to be indicated
by returns at hand and 200 for
Gooding.
Returns from the state are so incom-
plete at 80 that it is impossible to
give more than rough estimates of ma
jorities.
In every part of the state both Roose-
welt and Gooding ran far better than
was anticipated by most observers. In
this county it was expected Roosevelt
would get 1000 plurality, but it seems
likely at this hour the figure will reach
$500, while Gooding, for governor, will
have 1900.
The entire county Ticket is elected
by pluralities ranging from 1900 to
1000.
There has apparently been a clean
sweep in all parts of southern Idaho,
mad meager returns indicate like re-
suits in the north. From all that can
now be learned the democrast have not
carried a county in the state ON presi-
dnet, though Custer is close.
A rough estimate of majorities for
Roosevelt in the state by counties is
herewith given. 1t is based on partial
returns from II of the 81 counties:
Ada $500, Bingham 1900, Bannock
1900, Blaine 500, Bear Lake 1000,
Boise 1000, Canyon 1900, Cassia 500,
Custer 100, Gilmore 200, Fremont $500,
Idaho 500, Lincoln 500, NezPerce 1000,
Oneida1 900, Owyhee 800, Shoshone
$500, Washington 500; total, 300.
On the same estimate Gooding should
have from IL, 600 to 1900. In some
of the Mormon counties he is running
ahead of the national ticket.

State of Washington.

Spokane, Nov. Cd p. m. Returns
at this hour indicate that Mead has
carried this state by about 1000 plural
ity. The count is fragmentary in large
part of the state, though, and the COM
plete count may reduce that lead.
Roosevelt sweeps the state by plural
ity Of between 30, 900 and 40, 900.
AT 2 O'Clock this morning indica-
tions were that George Turner had
swept Spokane county by majority of
$500, and that figure may be substan-
TALLY increased.
Roosevelt is sweeping the county by
a vote of four to one.
Seattle. -Incomplete returns from so
precincts indicate Mead will carry
King county by $500, Coon 5000. Will
liams, democrat, sheriff, has small
majority.
Incomplete returns from 40 King
county precincts, chiefly Seattle, give
Mead 351, Turner $40. In many cases
election officers counted straight bal
lots first.
Twenty two precincts of 108 in King
county outside Seattle give Roosevelt

New York, Nov. 8, 2 q. m.-If Mary
land has gone republican, as unofficial
returns at this hour indicate, the re-
publican vote in the electoral college
will be the unprecedented one of 1875
for Roosevelt and Fairbanks to 151 for
Parker and Davis. Not only is thisfar
in excess of McKinley's vote, 292 in
1900, but Judge Parker s vote is four
less than that given Mr.. Bryan four
years ago. 1t is practically certain
that the republican national ticket has
carried every state in the Union, out
side of the so called solid south. 1t
may take the official count to decide
Maryland.
The republican majority in the next
house of representatives will not be less
than 80.
The period of suspense that followed
the closing of the polls was not pro-
longed. Ia no election in recent years
has the result been definitely known so
soon. Hardly had the sun gone down
when the results in New York began to
appear. Bulletin followed bulletin,
each showing large republican gains,
and by o'clock it was evident that
the great Empire state had given the
republican candidates majority be-
You'd the predictions of the party man
ayers. There was disposition to hope
against hope, as state after state sent
in its republican majority, but the
wires told the tale of the ballots bring
in, even from those commonwealth
upon which they had based their fig
ures of democratic success, reports of
unprecedented republican majorities,
they frankly conceded defeat and offer
ed no foundation. Soon after Mr..
Belmont's admission, Judge Parker ac-
knowledged the situation by telegraph

WILL WE EVER KNOW?
Cars Government Keeps North Sea
Incident a Secret.

London.-It begins to seem doubtful
whether the world will ever know
much more about the North sea trag-
edy than it knows now. Everything
London learns concerning the attitude
of the Russians lends itself to the view
that the cars government has deter
mined so far as it is able to suppress
the truth touching the horrible affair.
1t is not believed here by those whose
opinions are entitled to the greatest
weight that the Russian admiralty is
without full information of what took
place off the Doggerbank. On the con-
trary, it is believed that the Russian
authorities are in possession of facts
which show that her warships fought
one another with shot and shell, and
that there was not the sign of an en-
envy anywhere about.

THE WINNERS.

S35, outside Parker 238; Mead $50,
Turner, 435.
Following is the estimated vote for
Mead and Turner, based on incomplete
reports from precincts in 80 counties of
the state as received up to a. M.
They show plurality or Mead of
about $500 votes. In several couties
the vote is so close that these figures
may materially change by the COM
plete count. The republican state and
congressional ticket has still larger
pluralities than Mead.

Latest State Returns.

Seattle, Nov. 9.-Latest returns in
dictate that Roosevelt Ehas carried the
state by form $4,000 to 1000. His
great strength was in King county,
whre his majority was about 5000
votes, leading Mead by about 1000
Mead is elected governor over Tur-
ner by about 5000 to 1000.
Walla Walla, Nov. 8. - Roosevelt
has carried Walla Walla county by a
plurality estimated at 1900 to 1900
bvotes.
For governor Turner leads Mead by
about but small plurality, now esti-
mated at 100 to $50 votes. The repub.
licans appear to have made a clean
sweep of all the legislative districts in
the county. The democrats have elected
two county commissioners, the assessor
and auditor. All other county offices
are republican.
Davenport, Nov. 9. - In Lincoln
county the entire republican county
ticket is probably elected the only office
in doubt being that of prosecuting at
torney. r. M. Dye is the republican
candidate and Joseph Sessions the dem
ocratic. There are but few votes be-
tween them with five republican pre-
cincts yet to hear from. The majorities
on the county ticket range about 300
with w. w. Downey for clerk probably
high man. The legislative ticket is
safe. The count on the state ticket is
not yet complete but the county will
probably give Turner majority of 500
and Roosevelt about 1000.

precincts out of DO in Tacoma give
Roosevelt 2177; Parker 467. The same
precincts in 1900 gave Mckinley 14O2
