French Statement.

Paris, Nov. 5.-The following Off
cial statement was issued at the war
office this afternoon:
"On our left wing the allied fore es
have progressed slightly to the east
of Nieuport on the right bank of the
User.
From Dixmude to the River Lys
the German attacks were renewed yes
terday, but at a number of points
with lessened energy. In France the
British line was withdrawn at no
point. Our troops are taking the Of
fensive and have made notable pro-
gress in several directions between the
region of La Bassee an dthe River
Somme. The day was marked par
ticularly by an artillery duel in the
region of Roye. We have maintained
our occupation of Quesnoye and San
terre and have advanced appreciably
toward Andenchy.
"At the center, between the Disc
and Moselle rivers, there was recru-
descence of activity on the part Of
the Germans, particularly by artillery
fire. Some attacks at different points
on our front were completely re-
pulsed, sometimes after conflict
which lasted the whole day.
'On our right wing there is nothing
to report.

Prohibition May Garry

The returns are far from complete
on the election in this and other
states, and there are several features
yet undecided, but it is certain that
Johnson and Eshleman and most of
the Progressive ticket has been elect
ed by an overwhelming majority, that
Kettner has big majority for Con-
gress, that the red light abatement
act was passed, while there is no
certainty that prohibition has been de-
feated.
Fonr states, however, were added
to the prohibition territory at the cleo
tion-Arizona, Colorado, Oregon and
Washington-and, with Virginia,
which voted dry earlier, this makes
& total of five states added to the
dry column this year.
1t is possible that the election has
made Imperial county wholly dry,
which will be the case if Amendment
No. AZ passed. Returns on this pro-
vision are not at hand, but AT is
known to have passed in San Diego
county, and presumably in other
counties in the state. Imperial City
went dry by about so majority, and
No. ~ would bar the licensing of
the sale of liquor there for eight
years.
There were many peculiar features
of the election. For instance, one vot-,
er only stamped his ballot in one
place, and that was eyes" on No. AZ.
Not stamp was made for any can
didatc or for any of the other con-
stitutional provisions.
There were number of voters who
showed their impartiality by voting
for both Johnson and Fredericks for
governor and a still greater number
voted both eyes" and "No" on the
same provision.
The counting in several districts re-
solved itself into struggle of en-
durance and some election officers
emerged from the trial in state

humanitarian measures which form
the new declaration of freedom of the
people of this state.
The endorsement of the administra-
tion of Governor johnson, and the
measures which he sponsored is par
ticularly important, as it was given
in the face of most bitter and un-
scrupulous opposition from entrenched
privileges, represented by the news
papers of Harrison Gray Otis, John
D. Spreckels and M. H. De Young.
California holds high and undimmed
a light for the eyes of the nation. It
will be at once a hope and an in
spiration. For myself, l can only
thank with my whole heart the peo-
pie Of the state for their vote of con-
fidence and support.

turns coming in from the outlying

James D. Phelan, Democratic candi-
date for United States senator, has
defeated James r. Knowland, Repub-
lican, by plurality of from 5000 to
5000, with Francis J. Heney, Pro-
gressive, a distant third. Complete
returns from 834 scattered precincts
cut of 1855 in the state, give Phelan
27,236; Knowland, 26,589; Heney, 49,
1871. The scattering returns that have
been received from the remaining pre-
cincts indicate that Phelan will ma
terially increase this lead
The anti-prize fight amendment has
apparently carried by good major
ity. The large majorities expected in
San Francisco and Los Angeles
against the measure failed to mate
rialize, and it is almost certain the
vote from the interior of the state will
overcome the $500 majority rolled up
in the two cities. Late figures indi-
cate that both the prohibition and
eight hour laws were defeated. IL
San Francisco the majority against
prohibition was about six to one.

Mexico City. Aug 9.-The cabinet was in session two hours today consid- ering the local situation as affected by the revolution. Upon adjournment President Carbajal received Robles Dominguez, 8 representative of Gen eral Carranza and Felipe Contreas, representing General Zapata- Several members of the diplomatic corps also called on the president during the day. Senor Santibanes. the presidential secretary, did not give out the results of these conferences, but prominent members of the diplomatic corps said that the situation was much better tonight than heretofore. It was stated that it is practically assured that if the transfer of government occasions a battle the engagement will not be fought in the city and that the prob abilities of peaceful transfer are very strong.
 .'The army would evacuate Mexico City tomorrow" said one of the diplo- matio corps, turning over the protec- tive work to the force of $500 gem darmes now stationed here, were it not for the presence of Zapatistas on the outskirts. The federal army fears that their evacuation and uncondition- al surrender would turn over the city to Zapata and not to Carranza. That is low the only hitch in the way of a peaceful transfer and I believe that the problem will be solved within the next sixty hours.''
