Ren, nenkampff, governor of Trans-Baik- alia, Monday, failed to fnjure him. two aides de camp escaped with slight contusions. The general has been on the terrorists death list for some time on account of his severity in repressing mutin- ies and revolts in Trans-B -Baikalia in December The would-be assassin lay in wait for the general on Amurs street, where he is accustomed to promenade, and as the general ap- preached the terrorist arose from a bench, threw the bomb and started to run, but was immediately cap tured, the general aiding in seizing him. A revolver was round on the prisoners person. Within four hours after throwing the bomb he was placed on trial before a drumhea0 court martial. The prisoner, who had not been identified, admits that he is a member of the social revolution ary organization.

LESS HOCH
The Official Returns Cut Down the County Majorities as Shown by
 Unofficial Figures.
CRUMMER CLAIMS 2,720 OVER HARRIS
First Reports are Found to Have Been Deceptive in Many Places Hut 1t is Not Expected Enough Errors Will be Discovered to Change the Result.

k Topeka, Kan. Nov. 11.--Chairman Ryan, of the democratic state com mittee, is growing more and more confident of the election of w. A. Harris as governor every hour. He said Saturday morning:
 From the belated returns we have been receiving it looks like MT. liar ris would be the next governor Of Kansas. Take the gains in Shawnee and Ellis county for instance. Also look at that case of fraud in Crawford county You may say that I do not think it possible for difference of over 1000 to exist either way"
 Chairman Drummer, of the republi can committee, who has moved his Headquarters into State Treasurer T. T. Kelly's office, was slow getting around Saturday morning. He said that he would have no new available figures to give out until after dinner on the gubernatorial situation.
 MT. Drummer claims to have the official returns from 35 counties, which, with the unofficial returns al ready received by him will give Hoch plurality of 2,SS3 votes.
 Official returns are coming in more rapidly at the republican headquar. ters from Tuesdays election and the general effect is to cut down Hoch's apparent plurality shown by the un- official reports.
 The last reports, which includes 43 counties, leave Hoch with only 2,729 more votes than Harris. The repub- lican candidate made gains only in two counties, in Rocks and 25 in Osage.
 The largest gain for Harris was in Sedgwck county where his mapority was increased 126.
 The official count of the Kansas elections returns in 15 counties which reported Friday night showed net gain for Harris of 535 over the claims of Chairman Drummer.
 In one county. Crawford, gross ir regularities were found in one pre- cinct. In Yale precinct, Crawfors county, where 400 ballots were cast only 210 names could be found oi the polling books

V|EIE'S G0[D RECEPTION
Former Russian Premier Not St Popular in St. Petersburg

HE DECLINED TO MAKE 4 STATEMENT
The Count had few Callers on his Arrival nt the Capital and these We're Closely scrutinixed by the Poiicc-More Concessions Prom- ised for the Jews.

St Petersburg. Nov. 14.-The ar rival of Count Witte here Monday created scarcely ripple on the sur lace of Russian politics. In contrast with his reception after his return from Portsmouth when a throna gathered at the railroad station to greet him and the street in front oi his house was blocked the following day by the carriages of high person ages coming to pay their respects tc the man of the hour, the count was met at the depot by only Baron Aide and few reporters and he received very few callers Tuesday morning.
 The rare arrivals were closely scrutinized by agents of the secret police on account of the reported threats of assassination Count Wit. te denied himself to reporters and de. clined 10 make a statement regard ing his reported intention of resign. ing his seat in the council e the empire and being candidate for election to parliament The consti tutional democrats are eager to re ceive him in their ranks in case he decides to be candidate.
 It is authoritatively stated that measures for relieving the Jews of many of their disabilities will be pub lished as temporary legislation be- fore the convocation or parliament, as foreshadowed in Premier Sloly. pins communication of September G. The full extent of the reforms is still a patter for discussion by tho cabinet, but they comprise permis sion for Jews to live in the country as well as in the cities, within t.se pale and the removal of certain. re strictions placed on Jewisn merchants and artisans outside the pale The full settlement of the Jewish problem is left to parliament, the governmen not being willing to venture deeply into the matter for fear Of stirring up a storm of anti-Semitic opposition

KANSAS TO GIVE THANKS.
Calling on People to Observe Thanksgiving Day.

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 14.-Goy. Hoch has issued the following Thanksgiv. ing day proclamation:
 Belief in an everything provp dence in the affairs of men has char. acterized civilized peoples in all ages From the day the Pilgrim fathers landed at Plymouth Roca down to the present time it has characterized the people of this country. The GUS tom, long established, of devoting one day to a recognition of this great faith and fact is beautiful and ap propriate one and should constantly grow in public favor. He reads American history with imperfect vision who does not see on every page of it the impress of an Almighty hand. Let us believe that when Col umbus first stepped upon this conti nent and kneeling in the sand consc. crated it to God and humanity his act had in it both Providence and pro pheoy, and let us believe that the principles of civil and religious lib. erty represented by our civilization and symbolized by our flag will ulti- mately girdle and glorify this globe. For the wonderful achievements 1T, our history and for the marvellous prosperity which has been vouch safed to us in nation and in state let us humbly render thanks to the Giver of all good.
 "In full sympathy with these sen timents, in harmony with this faith, and in accordance with the time honored custom, reaffirmed by recent proclamation from the president of the United States, l., F. w. Hoch, governor of the state of Kansas, dc hereby designate Thursday, the 29th day of November, 1906, as day Of Thanksgiving and trust that the peo pie of Kansas will in public places of worship and in private devotions make fitting acknowledgement to Al mighty God for all His blessings to us as people"

Dnnman's s hand up against the door casing, cutting and bruising it quite badly. The jerk also came near dislocating hls arm. He returned to this city to get his hand dressed.

MEXICAN ID BE D[PORTB)
Government Decides to Send An. tonic Villareal, the Agitator,
 Back to Mexico.
IS UNDER ARREST IN FL PAso, TEXAS
Was Leader of Mexican RevOIu- tionary Junta Recently Broken Up fin St. Louis. and one of the Editors of "Regenerac ion'--Ex- tradition Charge Is Larceny.

Washington. Nov. 14.-Antonio Villareal, who is under arrest at El Paso. Tex. is to be deported to Mex ico, where he will face charges of treason brought against him by the Mexican government. After confer ences between officials of the state department, the department of jus tice and the department of commerce and labor, it was decided that Villa real should be sent back to his native country because of alleged crimes which made him an unfit person to enter this country.
 Villareal was the leader of the Mex ican revolutionary movement in St Louis, which gave utterance to it's doctrine through the newspaper Re. generation. Through the little group Of revolutionists in St. Louis many predictions were made that there would be general uprising in Mex. leo, and foreigners in the southern re. public were frequently alarmed by rumors of movement Tn Mexico against persons not natives of that country.
 villareal was originally arrested under warrant holding him for ex- tradition. charged with being one of large party of Mexicans alleged to have broken into public build ing in that country and taken quan lity of arms and ammunition. At. iorneys for villareal insisted that he rnd his assistants were revolution. Ists engaged in the movement against President Diaz, and that consequent. iy their crime was political. The treaty exempts from extradition per cons charged with political offenses.
 Mexican officials advised the Uni. ted States government that Villareal had killed man and served term in prison before coming to the Uni. ted States. in March. I90f, and was not entitled to admission 10 the Uni ted States. This makes 1t possible 10 deport villareal, and warrant for his rearrest preparatory to deporta- ton has been issued under the direc ton of the department of commerce and labor.
 This action will avoid legal tangles which might result from the attempt to decide whether the taking of arms and ammunition was really criminal or political offense. The Mexican government has also asked for the extradition of G1 other men who were associated with villareal in the talk Ing of munitions of war.
 Antonio Villareal was member of the Mexican junta in St. Louis, whose headquarters and printing of fice on Lafayette avenue were seized by deputy sheriffs on an attachment several months ago. He was one O. the editors of Regeneration. the al Ieged revolutionary paper, which was printed there and distributed through Mexico, causing the Mexican government much trouble.
