 Seattle, Wash, Sept. 10.-Returns from the Republican direct primaries have come in very slowly. Only sev- enty per Cent of the vote has been re- ported yet. But the returns from the farming districts and smaller towns show that the advantage Henry C. Mcbride had in the cities has been overcome and that Samuel G. Cos. grove is undoubtedly in the lead and is probably the choice of the repub- lican voters for the nomination for governor. No candidate has so far received forty per cent of all the votes cast which would make him first choice, but Cosgrove, having more than any other, is reasonably sure of the nomination. The bitter contest between Senator Levi Ankney and Representative Jones for the nomina- tion for United States Senator has re- suited, according to the latest returns, in complete victory for Jones and the defeat of the Senator from eastern Washington.

The Protestant societies of London have petitioned King Edward to forbid the procession in order to prevent riots and the creation of any I'll feeling be- tween the Catholics and Protestants. The King will probably ignore the petetion as the government feels that with adequate police protection, there will be'slight danger of trouble.
