Election returns from 200 out of the 246

Rep, IS. $50; Porter, Dem, 1882. The
same places in 1900 gave Stickney, Rep,

cans We're generally victorious, electing
their entire state ticket and maintain
ing control Of the Legislature by the
usual large majority. The day passed
without special incident. The weather
was fine and the vote was normal for
il Presidential year.
The state officers elected are: Gov

Johnson: treasurer. John l.. Bacon of
Hartford: secretary of state, Frederick

trict. and kittredge HaSkins of Brat

The vote for congressman followed
closely that for Governor. ana with the
exception of the three northern coun-
ties where local issues affected the nor
maj VOTE the cpnlbleNlbn OF the I-tS1S-
lature was practically unchanged.
The campaign WAS hard fought by
both of the leading parties the Demo-
Gratis bending their efforts to Il reduc-
tion of the Republican majority of 81
! 900, given To William W. Stickney for
! Governor in 1900. The Republicans
conceded falling off from these fig
ureS owing to the loss of the Gold Dem
oCratic vote. but 4 plurality of less
than 1900 for the head of the Repub-
lican ticket would have been construed
. as a decline in Republican sentiment.
The early returns from West Fairlee
and other places in the center of the
state showed the Republicans holding
their own, while the Democrats showed
a falling off from their vote of 1900 At
S o'clock, - of the 2i6 towns and cities
had made returns. the results being
/ similar to those of the earlier returns.

General Sakaroff in a dispatch to th
egeneral staff, dated July 30. reports
that there has been no change in the
front of the Manchurian army up to
midday today The Japanese are con-
eentrating strongly on our southern
front.
Gen. Sakharoff then refers to Gen.
Okus account of the battle of Ta-
Tche-kiao and declares that the Rus
sian forces were not as large as Gen.
Oku represented, adding;
Our position was occupied solely
with a view of keeping the enemy
In cheek and with no idea of obsti-
nately defending It. We did not throw
up any special defenses. We held all
our positions against the Japanese at
tacks and then retired because the
commanding officer did not deem it
possible to accept battle the follow
ing morning while defending his posi-
ton with front of ten miles. The
evacuation of our position was sure
