SIX MISSOURI HOUSE MEMBERS
DEFEAT NIEDRlNeHAus IN
JOINT SESSION. al d
TWO BALLOTS WITHOUT AN ELECTION.
DEADLOCK NOW EXISTS AND a
COMPROMISE CANDIDATE
is PROBABLE.

sentatives Bittinger, Branch, Cook FL

sulting in no election. The vote stood:

chairman.
1t is reported that the name Of Major
William Warner of Kansas City will
be presented as a compromise candi
date The Warner men are threaten
ing to leave the Niedringhaus forces.
1t will be impossible for Niedringf
haus, in the Judgment of well posted
politicians, to rally the Kerens men to
his aid, and, as the Democrats are sol
idly organized, there seems to be alb.
solutely no consolation for him in the
situation as it now stands
When the result of the first ballot
was announced the Kerens men be,
came jubilant and shook hands enthu-
siastically with one another.
On the second ballot Niedringhaus
received sb, CockreH Ss, Kerens and

Strike in the Textile Industry an E~
pensive One.
Fall River, Mass, Jan. 19.-The cot
ton mill strike which began here on
July 25, 1904, was the greatest dis.
turbance the textile industry of Amer
lea has ever known. When the mills
involved were obliged to close their
gates about 25,00O operatives were
thrown out of work. The strike was
directly due to reduction of 1919 per
cent in wages. The mills had reduced
wages 10 per cent eight months pre-
vlously.
The mills affected by the strike have
a combined capital of $25,OOO,OO0 and
have 100000 spindles During the
months the mills were shut down the
operatives lost nearly $15O,OOO weekly
and the corporations about $4,000.
The aggregate direct losses to all in.
terests UP to the present time is esti-
mated at fully S5,0OO.OOO. The indirect
losses were also considerable.

Russian Railway Plans Portend End
of Eastern War.

of Eastern War.
Washington, Jan. 19.-Whateyer$ evi.
dences are furnished by the frequent.
rumors of probable settlement be-.
tween Russia and Japan reports
reach here through commercial circles
which should be strong evidences of
an early end of the war.
It is stated upon the best of author
ity that the Russian government has
just concluded a contract for the de-
livery at the port OF Seattle during the
early part of the coming spring of Z 5.
600 tons of steel rails for the compile
tion of the Transsiberian railway. The
conditions under which arrangements
are made for the delivery of the ma
terial and the facts surrounding the
whole transaction are accepted here as
indicating that, from the part of Rus
sia at least, there exists a strong i'm
preston that the war will be ended
and that peaceful trade and CONNER
cial upbuilding will be in progress dur
ing the early part of the coming sum
mer.
So direct is the information regard
ing the engagements for this railway
material that it cannot be accepted as
other than conclusive evidence that
some steps will be taken in the near
future to conclude the hostilities be-
tween Russia and Japan. It is not
improbable that the recent complaints
made by Russia regarding the attitude
OF China as a neutral power and the
occupation of Port Arthur combine to
open the way for peace.
1t is regarded here as inconceiva-
BILE that Russia should now be making
contracts for railway material except
upon the basis that peace is soon to
come. for railway material would be
listed as contraband and would not be
transported except under conditions of
peace.
