Close election In Ohio.

Columbus. Ohio-At IL O'Clock Tues
day night the result Of the election In
Ohio might still be considered doubt
full, although the Democratic leaders
claimed the election Of Pattison and
the entire Democratic ticket by sub
stantial pluralities. while the Republi,
cans simply refused to concede such 4
claim, insisting that the returns we're
insufficient at that hour to indicate
anything except that the vote had
been very heavy and that the amount
Of scratching had made counting very
slow.
In the cities the Republican loss ex-
ceeded 100 to the precinct. but as the
loss outside Of the large cities was. SO
far as reported. only about thirty per
cent. there was NO certainty that the
loss would run high enough to wipe
out the 100000 Republican plurality
with which comparisons were made.
Less than 800 of the 1900 precincts
had been heard from at IL o'clock.
The early reports, though meager
were SO strongly In favor OF Pattison
that his election was bulletined and
announced In many Of the extras. but
as fuller returns came In showing re-
duced ratio OF ,elins, the Republicans
became more hopeful and the Democrats
refused to to give out any statements, al
though they still maintained that they
had gained notable victory.

oi.fr.nehI.ers Lo.. Maryland.

Baltimore.-Thee election in Mary
land Tuesday was for a state comp
troller, legislature and county officers
and In Baltimore for judge Of the
supreme court, sheriff, city clerk and
surveyor. This issue which engrossed
popular attention was a proposed con-
stitutional amendment, the avowed
purpose Of which was the disfranchise.
ment of negro voters, but which
aroused widespread opposition among
many Democrats and foreign voters
in both parties.
Owing to the extreme length Of the
ballot the count has been slow and at
late hour the votes in some of the
city precincts and remote country dis.
tricts have not been counted. The
returns SO far received, however, make
certain the defeat of the proposed con.
stitutional amendment by a decisive
majority of 10000 or more and very
probably the election of Mccullough,
Republican, state comptroller, over
Atkinson, Democrat, and the election
of Republicans In three out of four OF
the city legislative districts. The Re.
publican candidates for sheriff, city
clerk and city surveyor in Baltimore
are also elected.
Chief Judge Harlan, Democrat, is re-
elected by 10000 majority. The poll.
tical complexion of the state legisla-
ture Is yet uncertain.

Republican. Carry Nebraska.

Lincoln, Neb.-Returns from the
elections in Nebraska are sufficiently
complete to indicate with certainty the
election o. Charles B. Letton, Republi-
can, over William G. Hastings, Fusion,
as associate justice of the Supreme
Court, by a plurality greater than that
given Judge Barnes for the same office
two years ago, which was 9,127.
The Republican candidates for re.
gents ran slightly behind Letton, but
the returns show that the pluralities
will not be materially reduced from
those received by the regents in 1903
The vote was light.

Results in Pennsylvania.

Philadelphia. = Philadelphia has
been swept by the reform movement.
the City party ticket winning by a
surprisingly large plurality.
While returns from only six Of the
torty-two wards in this city had been
counted up to midnight. enough is
known of the result in the remaining
wards to indicate the defeat Of the
Republican local ticket by from 10000
to $4,000 plurality.
The victory Of the City party, with
the election of W. H. Berry, the Dem
ocratic and Reform candidate for
state treasurer, by $4,000 to 100000
plurality. shows that J. Lee Plummer.
the Republican candidate for that Of
fice, was badly cut throughout the
city and state, and he has lost his
own county, which is usually Repub-
lican.
The result has every appearance Of
landslide for reform, not only in
Philadelphia, but throughout the
state.

CANNOT HELP THE JEWS.
President Roosevelt Sees No Way In
Which he Can Act.

Washington. - President Roosevelt
has decided that no action can be
taken by this government at present
which will be of any benefit to the
Jews of Russia This information was
made public at the White house today
in the following statement:
oscar Straus called upon the Presi-
dent this morning, not to ask him for
action, but to consult with him as to
whether there was any possibility of
action which would result in a cessa.
tion of the horrors connected with the
massacre of the Jews in Russia.
1.-The President stated that of course
he had been watching with the deepest
concern the reports Of these massa-
cres; that he had been appealed to
within the last few weeks to try to
take some action, not only on behalf
of the Jews in Russia, but in behalf of
the Armenians, Poles and Firms. The
result of the Presidents inquiries
coincide with statements contained in
a cablegram from Count Witte to Jacob
H. Schih, shown the President by Mr..
Straus as follows:
1.-The government is Mortified at
these outrages. You know that l do
not sympathize with such savage out
breaks. All can do to stop the dis
orders is done. but as the country is
in such an unsettled state the local
authorities are often powerless.'
In the conditions of social disorder
which actually exist in Russia the
President does not see that any action
can be taken by this government at
present which will be of any benefit to
the unfortunate sufferers, for whom we
feel such keen sympathy"

Oklahoma Tornado.

Mountain View, Okla.-A terrible
cyclone visited this city from the
southwest at 5:45 o'clock Sunday af.
ternoon and plowed its way through to
the northeast, totally destroying every.
thing in It's path.
Thirteen dead have been found. so
far, while more than a score of
wounded have been reported. The
Manhattan hotel has been converted
into morgue. A special train was run
from Anadarko, bringing fifty nurses
and every physician In the city. Be-
tween here and Anadarko more nurses
and physicians were secured. This
catastrophe is second only to the great
Snyder disaster last spring.

Louisville, Ky.-One hundred and

city of Louisville give Paul c. Barth.
Democratic nominee for mayor, 15,337,
and O'Neal, fusion, 1878. Barth's plu-
raility. 1854. Indications are that the
fusionists may elect a county Judge
and one legislator in Louisville and
Jefferson counties, with another legis-
lative race in doubt.
Elections were held In the state for
100 seats in the Legislature. The COM
plexion of the Legislature will be prac-
tically unchanged and the Democrats
will have a good working majority
with which to choose successor to
Senator Blackburn.

Republican Gain in New Jersey.

Trenton, N. 1.-THE election in New
Jersey Tuesday increased the Repub-
llican hold on the state Legislature and
makes it impossible that Democrat
should succeed United States Senator
Dryden in 1907. In the state Senate
the Republicans made gain of three,
electing Republicans from Gloucester,
Salem and Somerset counties. which
for the last three years have had Dem
ocratic senators.

JEWISH QUARTERS SACKED

Unparalleled outrsses in Odessa
Mutiiatsd 0odies Line Deserted
Streets - Wholesale eutehery Of
Jewish Inhabitants.
Odessa.-It is believed that the worst
is over. Owing to the mobs being sat.
is6ed with two days carnival of muir
der and destruction by fame, the re-
volt against law and order is dying
down. partially. perhaps. because of
lack Of material upon which to prey.
Almost the entire Jewish quarters Of
Moldavanha, Slobodka and Rugaiovka
are devastated. and their inhabitants
have either been killed or wounded, or
have sought refuge in other sections Of
the town. The whole fury Of the mobs
was directed unchecked against the
Jews.
| During the first demonstration over
| the kmperor's manifesto and the sud-
den acquisition of freedom" tens of
| thousands of men who had hated Jews
through generations became drunk
with the desire for Jewish blood,
| swarmed into the Jewish sections of
! the town and killed for the very joy Of
killing. In some instances the military
aideo instead of prevented the work
OF vengeance and fury which culmi-
! mated Saturday In the quarters men
toned. Every Jew-man, woman or
child. who was caught was slaughtered.
The methods employed in the work of
butchery were too revolving for de.
dawn the material had become ex-
hausted and the men who had for the
moment become beasts, left the
wrecked sections Of the city and.
though sullen, were easily driven back
before the rifles of the infantry.
A trip of investigation this evening
over the Jewish quarters confirmed
the stories of horrors and devastation.
Some bodies. mutilated. Of women and
children, were still unremoved from
the deserted streets. The shops were
closed, and in the wrecked houses
broken furniture was lying everywhere
in heaps.
While 1t is probable that the total
number of persons killed will never be
known, the number of wounded per-
sons in the hospitals and ambulance
houses affords some guide. The S..
657 wounded reported up to this morn
ing were distributed as follows: In the
Jewish hospital. 3,715; In the munich
pal hospitals, 1850; in the different
ambulance houses, 6S2.
1t has been definitely ascertained
that only 100 of the anti-Jewish mob
were killed.
At the beginning of the massacres
the students militia rendered some as
sistance and saved many lives, but the
police, 1t is said, disarmed the stud
ents even In some cases shot them
with their own revolvers.

Washington.-The President has IL.
sued his proclamation naming Thurs
day. November Both next, as a day for
Thanksgiving. The proclamation fol-
lows:
by the President Of the United States
Of America. A Proclamation:
when nearly three centuries ago
the first settlers came to the country
which has now become this great Re
public. they confronted not only hard
ship and privation. but the terrible
risk to their lives. In those grim years
the custom grew Of setting apart one
day in each year for q special service
Of thanksgiving to the Almighty for
preserving the people through the
changing seasons. The custom has now
become national and hallowed by Inn
memorial usage.
I'VE live in easier and more plentiful
times than our forefathers, the men
who with rugged strength faced the
rugged days: and yet the dangers to
national life are quite as great now as
at any previous time in our history. 1t
Is eminently ftting that once q year
our people should set apart q day for
praise and thanksgiving to the Giver
Of good, and, at the same time. that
they express their thankfulness for the
abundant mercies received, should
Elanfully acknowledge their shortcom-
ings and pledge themselves solemnly
and In good faith to strive to overcome
them.
During the past year we have been
blessed with bountiful crops. Our bus
mess prosperity has been great. No
other people has ever stood on as high
level as we now stand on. We are
not threatened with foes without. The
foes within are our passions and fol-
lies; and against these there Is always
ueed that we should war.
Therefore, / now set apart Thurs
day. the Both day of this November, as
day Of thanksgiving for the past and
Of prayer for the future, and on that
day ask that throughout the land the
people gather in their homes and
places of worship and on the render
ing of thanks unto the Most High for
the manifold blessings Of the past year,
consecrate themselves to life of
cleanliness, honor and wisdom. SO that
this Nation may do its allotted work
on the earth in a manner worthy Of
those who founded 1t and Of those who
preserved 1t.
In witness whereof have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal Of the
United States to be afhxed.
Done at the city Of Washington this
second day Of November, in the year
Of our Lord one thousand nine hundred
and five and Of the independence Of the
United States the one hundred and
thirtieth.
