ffcial returns from the special election
OF last Monday. when Maine voted on
the question of the repeal of the con
stitutional ~prohibitory amendment as

votes in favor of repeal.
Various discrepancies were found in
the official returns as compared with
the tabulationc compiled by the sec
rotary Of states office. The latter in
dicated a majority for repeal of 1856.
Some doubt still remains as to the
correctness OF the returns, and Govern
or Piaisted announced that city and
town clerks would be given 20 days to
check the results.
With the result standing so close a
correction In the vote In any OF the
several towns would have a decided
effect on the majority. and in the case
of Westfield and Athens would be suf-
ficient to turn the result against APP
peal.
The total vote of the state, as shown
by the official figures tabulated to-
night is as follows: For repeal. 80, 4S7;
against repeal, 60.461. Majority for res

SPAIN IS PLACED
UNDER IRON RULE
Martial Law Declared ALI Over
Country as Result Of the
Labor Troubles.

Madrid, Sprin, Sept. 20.-King AL
tonso today signed a decree suspend
ng the constitutional guarantees
throughout Spain. This is e~quiyalent
TO declaring the country under mar
tial law.
This act, which had been under
consideration for some days, was
taken to give the government power
to deal sharply and promptly with
the revolutionary agitation now fer
menting In many parts OF Spain, espe-
cially in the cities and Industrial dis
tricts, where republican and revolu-
tionary plans are being furthered un-
der cover OF workingmen's strikes.
The rioters killed a judge and
wounded other officers OF the court
which had been engaged In the trial
OF those who had been arrested earlier
in the day. The mob was finally dis
persed by guards from the custom
house.
Strikes also have been declared at
Vile, Gijon and other cities. In some
OF these places the movement has been
but partially successful.
Premier Canalejas announced that
the government has in Its possession
the details OF a revolutionary plot an
covered at Valencia and Barcelona.
Part OF this plot was to as~sassinate
General Weyler, captain-general OF
Catalonia The government claims TO
know the names OF all the conspirators
and the source of their supplies.
The general union OF labor today
decided to call q general strike
throughout Spain on a date to be
fixed later.

NIHILtSTS and JEWS

Reactionary Policy in Russia Is
Likely to Follow Death
of Stolypin.

Of the late Premier Stolypin, who died
yes, erday. The impression prevails
that the tenure of office of M. Kokoy-
soft, the acting premier will be tenn
porary. The n~ationalists @ they
would be set aside If Kokoysoff re-
NAMED at the head of the ministry.
Several members are out of harmony

ingly, there are numberless candidates
for cabinet posts which are likely to
be vacated.
NJ. Kokovsoff is generally respected
as enlightened on foreign affairs and
a straightforward conservative in

attributed TO him. There is much
speculation as to whether a more lib
eral or a more reactionary policy will
be adopted.
The Novoe Vremya today says:
THE pew chapter In the history OF
Russia commences with the death of
Stoiypin. Socialism and Judaism
must be taken with an iron grip"
The Reich considers that Stolypin
was big individually. but a political
bankrupt and that he has left the
country an enormous task as a poli-
tically legacy.

PRESIDENT LISTENS

gan, Denounces Insurgents
in His Presence.

Marquette, Mich. Sept. 21-President
Taft today listened to an attack on
spurious progressives'' and "shifty
politicians" by Representative Young,
of Michigan, while he was waiting to
people here. Mr.. Young coupled his de-
nunciation of the progressives with
praise Of President Taft as a wise,
prudent and consistent progressive
and his remarks were loudly cheered.
The president did not follow Mr..
Young's lead. He said he had intended
to praise the congressman here among
his own people, but he was afraid after
all the nice things Mr.. Young had said
about him there would be a suggestion
of collision.
You're all right" yelled a mar in
the crowd.
II am glad to be assured" called the
president In reply.
Representative Young referred to Mr..
Taft as the greatest living representa-
tive of genuine constructive progress
siveness.' He said Mr.. Taft took office
at a time for building n not for tear
ing down.
"Opposed to this wise, prudent pro-
g~ressiveness,' continued the congress-
man, there Is a spurious progressive
ness at which cynics laugh n angels
weep.
1--WE love the president for many
things. but we love him above all for
the enmies he has made"
The president spoke on the peace
