Additional returns from Tuesdays cleo

were from the eastern part Of the state
and showed a slight falling off from the
majority Of Letton two years ago. which
was 23,1S. In the western part OF the
state, however, this condition was reversed
and in the sixty-seven counties reported TO
date Reese has a plurality OF s1s greater
than Letton in the same counties. The
twenty-three counties remaining, from
which only partial returns have been re-

ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. S.-The talk of
the possibility Of war between the United
States and Japan, which, throughout, has
been taken seriously in Russia is bring
ing many volunteers to the American en-
bassy, who say they are anxious to serve
in the United States army in case of hos
tilities. A report is also circulating in
military circles here that the American
army in the Philippines needs instructors,
especially for the artillery and engineer
corps. Five or six Russian officers OF
these branches of the service apply daily
at the embassy for commissions and are
disappointed by. the assurances that there
is no likelihood of Japan and the United

BERLIN. Nov s.--Emperor william will
zee Secretary Taft at the Isle of
Wisht during the formers visit to
England. A message conveying this wish
was sent through the German embassy
ht Washington. it being understood that
Sir. Taft has finally decided TO return 20
the United States by way OF Europe. 1t
also seek an, audience of King Edward.
as for the American secretary Of war to
visit the German emperor on British soil
without paying equivalent respect TO the
king might be regarded as discourteous.
So much has been said about Mr.. Taft
planning to see the emperor that some
OF the other governments have seemingly
become curious whether anything is in
tended by ,Ae step taken by the American
government. Ambassadors Bryce and JUS
serand, II is asserted here, already have
made Inquiries on the subject at the State
department at Washington and It is
further asserted that there is a feeling at
the foreign Offices of London and Paris
that Mr.. Taft would be sighting King
Edward and President Fallieres, IL he did
not ask to see them on his way home OF
Berlin en- route homeward.
His Reception In Germany.
No official arrangements have been made
for the entertainment Of Mr.. Taft there.
The emperor merely expressed the pleas
ure 1t would give him to receive Mr. Taft
and following his habit he probably will
ask Mr.. Taft to lunch or dinner.
The Americans in Berlin hope Mr.. Taft
will stop here long enough to accept va
rious courtesies. Ambassador Tower is
arranging a dinner at which Chancellor
Won Buelow, the chief OF the general staff;
General Won Moltke and Foreign Secretary
Won SchoeL viii bo present. Mr.. Tower
also wilt offer Mr.. Taft an afternoon re-
ception. The American Association of Com

and Isidore Loewe, head OF the Mauser
rife and several other great industries,
has planned luncheon at which Mr.. Taft
win meet score Of the great business men

MANILA, Nov. s.-A brilliant farewell
reception was given to Secretary Taft to-
night at the residence OF Governor Gen
eral Smith. It was characterized by ex-
treme democracy. representatives of near
~ every class Of residents Of Manila being
present. Secretary Taft and wife We're
greeted practically by every one in at
tendance.
The secretary's last day in Manila was
marked by many busy features. He re-
ceived and conferred with many prominent
Fillpinos. heads OF bureaus, members OF
committees. business men and delegations
from various provinces and cities. He told
one delegation which was petltioning for
free trade In sugar and tobacco to send
the right men as delegates TO washington

Secretary of War May Involve
Country I'm DimeuIties.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. Nov. $50 much
has come from European capitals concern
ing Secretary Tafts trip that oficials Of the
War and State departments are becoming
confused concerning the schedule. 1t is
Not believed, however, that the secretary
has sought an interview with any European
ruler. 1t has been stated ohicially and re-
iterated that Mr. Taft is not on dplo-
matte mission 10 Europe and has no official
business TO transact at any European capi-
tai.
The itinerary for the trip was arranged
before he left Washington, and SO far as is
known in either the state or War depart
ments the only change has been the delay
of one week at Manila. Before he left
Washington, the secretary had been invited
TO stop at St. Petersburg and Berlin to
meet the czar of Russia and the emperor
of Germany, The necessarily long stay In
Manila and the pressure of business which
awaits him in Washington, raises doubts
here whether the secretary will have time
in Europe TO meet any of the soveregns
and there is danger of European sover-
eigns feeling sllghted IL Mr.. Taft should
discriminate in favor Of any of the capi.
tails.
There is no Disgusting the fact that ON
cials OF the State department would prefer
that Secretary Taft's trip through Europe
should be made without his engaging In
any court functions. There is no disposi
tion on the part OF President Roosevelt oi
Secretary Root, according to information
obtainable on this subject, to interfere will
Mr.. Taft's wishes, but It is felt that h'
cannot visit one court and not Others. with
out jeopardizing the friendly relations o.
the United States with those governments
and as he cannot see them all 1t is believed
here that he will not visit any, unless it 1,
