HOW PARKER TOOK 1T
Congratulated Roosevelt and Took His
Defeat PhilosophIcalIy.

Congratulated Roosevelt and Took His
Defeat PhiIosophIcaIIy.
Esopus. N. Y. Nov. s.-Judge Par
ker conceded the election Of President
Roosevelt at $50 last evening, when
he received a bulletin that the Demo
cratic national headquarters had al
ready admitted that every doubtful
state had been carried by the Republi-
can national ticket He appeared to be
not at all cast down by the result, al
though it is known that he greatly de-
plored his overwhelming defeat In his
own state. He received the discour-
aging news in his study. where he had
been smoking with two OF his neigh
bors. The bulletin from Democratic
headquarters concerning Judge Par
ker's defeat was given to the judge
by the Associated Press representa-
tive. When asked If he had any state
ment to make, he pulled a telegraph
blank toward him and wrote hastily
for moment Then he said:
81 am going to send this telegram to
President Roosevelt The message
was dispatched at once. 1t was as fol-
lows:
'The President, Washington, d. c.
The people by their votes have en-
phatically approved your administra-
| ton, and l congratulate yoa."
The demeanor OF Judge Parker u,
he heard the bulletins read was of
cheerful resignation. He wore the air
of one who could say if he would: 81
will die game" and die game he did.
| He discussed the returns with his
friends and compared the figures with
former years. 1t might have been some
| other mans defeat for all the concern
he seemed to feel.
At 10 o'clock Judge Parker received
telegram from President Roosevelt
as follows: 81 thank you for your con.
| gratulations."
| Judge Parker retired at 1140 O'Clock
last night, declining to make any
! statement beyond that indicated by
his telegram to President Roosevelt.

from West Virginia are unusually
meagre. aud it is impossible to ac-
Curately outline the result except in

that Roosevelt and Fairbanks have

RoosEVELT's STATEMENT
VIII Not Accept Another Nomination
Under Any Circumstances.

FNfJ
Washington. Nov. 9. - President
Roosevelt, after the election returns
clearly indicated the result, issued the
following statement:
81 am deeply sensible of the honor
done me by the American people in
thus expressing their confidence in
what I have done and have tried to
do. I appreciate to the full the SOL
emn responsibility this confidence i'm
poses upon me, and shall do all that
In my power lies not to forfeit 1t. On
the 4th Of March next 1 shall have
served three and one-half years, and
this three and one-half years consti-
tutes my first term. The wise custom
which limits the president to two terms
regards the substance and not the
form, under no circumstances will /
be candidate or accept another nomi-
nation"

THE YALU RIVER
Has Possibilities for Commerce, But
 Difficult to Navigate.

The Yalu river. Q picturesque stream. some 800 miles in length. is the dividing line between Korea and Manchuria. on the northwestern frontier. says the washington Star. It is nayigable by native craft as far as Shinkuihuo. but steamers are unable to proceed beyond Antung, the port to which the Russians are now devoting considarahla attention. Some miles below Antung. but situated on the same bank and lying close within the estuary of the river.is the port oe ratungkao. where when the weather per mits. cargoes for Antung are sometimes dia- charged. Tatungkao, however. is difficult to approach. and a general rule steam CTS unload and receive their cargoes at An- tung. port of great promise in the near fu- ture
 The estuary of the Yaiu river Is broad but the anchorage of TatunEkao is exposaed to the northeast winds which at times blow with great force. The stream has rap i'd current. and. owing to the presence of in- numerable shoals and sand banks. presents serious obstacles to successful navfgatIon Islands. both small and large. appear in its course. and high hills. covered with bush and timber. break away from the banks
 From early December until the end of February the stream is frozen. Untif lately the reegion of the Yaiu was almost an un- known land but with the advent of the Russians many changes in the character of the district have taken place. On the Ka~ rean shore lumber camps have been formed while at TatungiSao and Antung prosperous native settlements have sprung into exist anee. The river teens with native craft which ply between the mouth and the high CT reaches. while logs of timber. chained the one to the other. float ieisurely down the stream.
 The view at the estuary of the river Ia. perhaps. not very rrepossessing long vista of mud flats extends mile upon mile along the river bank. but silent and rapid transformation has been effected within the last few months the great possibilities of the Yalu valley for commercial developmenr attracting alike foreign and native cap- ital

 communication from a committee of ladies representing the Neighbor- hood House, the we'll known charity at West End. was read to the Council. The communication briefly explained the purposes of the Neighborhood House and petitioned the Council to grant 1t free water.
 The communication was signed by Mrs. A. G. Forbes, Mrs. H. c. Davidson, Mrs Phares Coleman. Mrs. W. B. Strat- ford and Miss C. L. Hurter. It was im- mediately granted by the Council.
 An ordinance fixing the license on steamboat companies at s25 was intro- duced and was referred to the Finance Committee.
 Chairman Teagua from the joint committee on Schools and Public Works, reported to the Council a re- commendation that the bid of c. Y. Bogacki for the building of the Her ron Street School should be accepted, 1t being the lowest bid.
 Suburbanites May Vote.
 Chairman Kohn from the Special Re- districting Committee appointed at the last meeting of the Council. reported an ordinance under which the resi- dents of the suburbs had arrange ments made for them to vote in the bond election of May 9. It will be re- called that at the last meeting of the Council 1t was discovered that under existing city ordinances there was no way in which the voters of the sub urbs could take part in the bond cleo tion. The difficulty lay in the fact that they were not in any of the city wards and they were not therefore giv- en any polling place. ..,
 The Redistricting Committee was di- rected to draft an ordinance which would remedy this defect. This ordi- nance extended the ward lines from the old city limits to the new city limits and in this way put all the su- burban residents in one of the six city wards. The ordinance extends the ward lines along the beat lines, that is, the six city wards are the same as the six city beats until the new city limits are reached.
 The ordinance Is intended to apply only for the election of May g. After that time the Redistricting Committee will make provisions for the redistrict- ing of the city. The ordinance was re- ferred to the Judiciary Committee.
 An ordinance granting to the Ma tional Cotton oil Company the right to construct a double railroad track on First avenue, West End, was intro dueed and was referred to the Com mittee on Franchises and Privileges.
 The Council then adjourned.

 The poverty of rural ciersymen Is tradi- tionai iu this country. but in earlier days the people among whsm they worked were aa poor as they.se Everybody had land. and if the land was fertile the farmers families had good and abundant food. The people in the parsonage did not eat poorer food or wear poorer clothes than the people of the congregation. The position of A rural cleY. kyman was one of relative comfort we'll as of dignity and honor But for forty years at least the general level of expendi- ture was raised. while cash plays a larger part aud barter and selfproduetion a smaller one in the support of families even in the country.
