MARYLAND STILL
IN THE BALANCE
IT IS NOT KNOWN AS YET
WHETHER THE STATE WENT
DEMOCRATIC OR REPUBLICAN.
Roosevelt’s Plurality Now Shown to
Be bnt 126—This May Mean That
the Electoral Vote of the State
Will Be Divided—Retnrns from the
Nation Show a Steadily Increas
ing Roosevelt Plurality—About
2,000,000.
New York, Nov. 10.—After-election
interest was to-day suddenly centered
upon Maryland by the announcement
that that state, yesterday conceded to
the Republicans, is now in doubt.
Late returns have reduced Roose
velt's plurality to the narrow margin
of 126 and it will take the official count
to determine whether Maryland will
be placed In the Republican or Demo
cratic column. There is a possibility
that the state’s electoral vote will be
divided.
Beyond the situation In Maryland
and the fact that is now admitted that
Roosevelt carried Missouri, in which
state the Legislature is also Repub
lican, to-day’s election news is devoid
of feature.
Returns show steadily increasing
Republican pluralities and it now
seems probable that Roosevelt’s plu
rality in the popuiar vote will be In
round numbers 2,000,000.
In Colorado both parties are claim
ing success on the state ticket.
NEITHER SIDEBEATEN
BY MORE THAN 100 VOTES.
Baltimore, Nov. 10.—The official re
turns received -here up to a late hour
to-night Indicate that the vote for the
presidential candidates last Tuesday
was very close —possibly 100 on either
side. It is probable that Secretary of
State Oswald Tilghman. will be called
upon to decide which of the electors
will be entitled to cast their votes iu
Washington.
The board of canvassers In Baltimore
city and in the twenty-three counties
of the state met at noon to-day. In
Baltimore city the votes cast in the
Third Congressional district, were
counted, but the totals were not mode
public. While Congressman Frank C.
Wachter was admittedly re-elected the
vote op vhe presidential ticket Is left
In doubt.
From the official returns thus far
received, the indications are that the
Republicans have elected seven and
the Democrats one of the electors of
the state.
Returns received from eleven coun
ties of the state give the Republican
electors a plurality of 17. Until the
canvassing boards of the several coun
ties and of Baltimore city shall have
examined and counted the ballots, it
will be impossible to say which of the
presidential candidates will receive
Maryland’s electoral vote.
There is no change in the Congress
ional situation, the Democrats and Re
publicans each having elected three
members of the next House.

Herrick Thinks Thai o Him the
Victory Wh line.
Albany, N. Y., Nov. 10.—Judge D.
Cady Herrick, the defeated candidate
of the Democratic party for Governor,
will leave to-morrow for an extended
vllit to Havana for his health. Upon
his return he will resume the practice
of law. .
In discussing the result of the elec
tion. Judge Herrick said:
“Perhaps the Republican party would
have won this election in any event.
But the magnitude of their victory Is
due to the personality of President
Roosevelt and It is hts victory, and
not that of the party. Ever since he
entered public life as a member of the
assembly soon after his graduation
from college he has had a picturesque
career, and his personality has been
an exceedingly attractive one to the
people. More than a year ago, I stat
ed that 1 thought him the most skill
ful politician that had occupied the
White House in my time. Recent
events have strengthened my opinion
in that respect. I take off my hat to
him.
"This Is no time for Democrats to
weep and moan. Those who are Dem
ocrats on principle will continue the
light. Any one can fight when he is
h winner. Let the Democratic party
show that It can keep It up when beat
en and eventually turn victory Into
defeat.
'To Democrats I say: Keep up the
organizations we have and strength
en them as much as possible.’’
ODELL AND MURPHY
BOTH SEEM PLEASED.
Murphy** Satisfaction Is Over the
Way Tammany Acted.
New York. Nov. 10.—Gov. Odell,
chairman of the Republican State Com
"nttee. and Charles F. Murphy, lead
er of Tammany Hall, expressed them
selves on the election results to-day,
each finding cause for gratification.
Gov. Odell expressed his gratification
over the result In New York, partlc
nlurly l n this city. He was asked:
“Io you think It was the heavy vote

“This shows that there was abso

A comparison of the returns here with

proves it. The reports made to me
by the district leaders were very ac

WAS SIMPLE ENOUGH,
SAYS TOM TAGGART.
“Oh, There Were Not Enough Dem
ocrats,” He Thinks.
New York. Nov. 10.—Thomas Tag
gart, chairman of the Democratic Na
tional Committee, arrived here to-day
after an absence of several weeks in
Indiana. He went at once to national
headquarters, where he had a long con
ference with William F. Sheehan and
Secretary Woodson.
Mr. Taggart was asked how he ac
counted for the Roosevelt landslide of
Tuesday.
“Oh, there wene not enough Demo
crats,” he replied.
“Will the party be reorganized?”
“There is no need of reorganization.
What we need is more Democrats."
ALVA ADAMS WINS THE
COLORADO GOVERNORSHIP.
Peabody Himself Admits That He
Whs Defeated.
Denver, Col., Nov. 10. —Gov. Jamea
H. Peabody, Republican, himself con
cedes his defeat. Alva Adams’ ma
jority over Peabody in the city and
county of Denver is 5,072 and in the
entire state about 10,500.
Republicans still claim a majority
for Peabody in the state outside Den
ver, but this is not borne out by the
returns, which are still incomplete.
“On the face of the returns Adams
is elected,” said Republican State
Chairman Fairley, “but the official
count or a contest may change it to
Peabody.”
John F. Shafroth, Democrat, is ap
parently elected congressman-at-large
with a plurality of 2,000.
Both sides are claiming the Legisla
ture and the result will be in doubt
until the official count is made in Den
ver and Pueblo.
At a meeting of Republican candi
dates and party leaders to-day it was
decided to begin Immediately a con
test for the places of all the Demo
crats elected In Colorado on the face
of the returns. An effort will be made
to seat all the Republicans, from Gov
ernor down. The matter will be car
ried into the courts on the claim that
the state Democrats were elected by
glaring frauds In Denver and a num
ber of affidavits in support of the
charges of fraud have been tiled at Re
publican hwMlqU'arters 'by the Repub
lican watchers and Judges.
Chairman Williams of the Republican
Central City Committee, declares that
nearly all of the increased vote polled
Tuesday, amounting approximately to
7,000 more than the number cast at the
city election in May, was fraudulent.

RUSSIA DECLINED
PEACE OVERTURES
JAPAN MADE THE OFFER
BIT RUSSIA DIB NOT CARE TO
ENTERTAIN IT.
Oiler Was Made Tentatively and I'n
ollie in 11 y by Japan—lt Is Now Saitt
That United States, France ana
Great Britain May Oiler Media
tion—l’rnfl’er, It la Said. Would Be
Mude by Hoosevelt—loinadovrne
Brought the Matter Ip.
London, Nov. 10. 4:55 p. m.—Japan
unofficially has made representations
to Russia looking to peace. This ac
tion has resulted in failure and such
representations, even privately, are not
likely to be repeated by Japan.
Although the suggestion of a pacific
settlement was made unofficially, it
actually had behind it all the weight
of an offer by the Japanese govern
ment. It was made direct to Russia.
No power acted as, an intermediary.
The proposition was put forward ten
tatively and unofficially, so that the
Japanese government would be in a
position to deny any report that it was
suing for peace.
The failure of these direct negotia
tions, however, resulted in bringing in
tervention within a measurable dis
tance. Foreign Secretary Lansdowne's
plea for arbitration yesterday evening
at the Guild Hall banquet is taken
here to be a pointed suggestion to
the United States and France that the
time is approaching when the Powers
must take some action. It can be
definitely stated that Lord Lansdowne
made his speech with full knowledge
that Japan will not resent a proposition
looking to peace from the three Pow
ers—the United States, France and
Great Britain. There is a definite im
pression that the initiative will come
from President Roosevelt, though the
action would be joint.
Huyaslii Approves Suggestion.
In an interview generally regarding
the foregoing Baron Hayashi, the Jap
anese minister, said:
”1 should not be surprised to see the
three Powers named, or two of them,
take the action suggested. Exactly
upon what basis of a settlement peace
could be secured, it is at present im
possible to see, but there is not the
slightest doubt that combined repre
sentations, cspeckilly If led by Pres
ident Roosevelt, would have a far
reaching result between two countries,
one of which was thoroughly defeated.
It is comparatively easy to make
peace in this case, as neither side is
thoroughly defeated yet.
“The prospects for the success of
friendly intervention have vastly in
creased. Since the commencement of
the war the two nations now respect
each other to a degree never dreamed
of before they met in battle. That mu
tual respect is the most hopeful factor
for peace.
Doesn’t Want to Fight Forever.
“Japan does not want to go on fight
ing forever. Yet. even with all the
victories won during this war. her
statesmen would render themselveei lia
ble to be most seriously misunderstood,
especially in Russia, if they openly
suggested in the name of humanity
some method whereby the war could
be stopped. It would be altogether
different, however, at this stage of the
war, should a friendly offer, prompted
by that sense of humanity which Ja
pan cannot voice for,fear of being mis
understood, emanate from the United
States and Great Britain, but nothing
can be done until the fall of Port
Arthur.”
ROOSEVEITwOULD NOT
TAKE THE INITIATIVE.
For Japan nntl Hnsaia First to Ex
press tt Willi agness.
Washington, Nov. 10.—Careful In
quiry here fails to develope any
change within the last four weeks in
the attitude of this government
towards the Far Eastern situation.
There has been no move officially that
couid be construed as indicating a
purpose by America to intervene be
tween the belligerents. It was stat
ed, however, several weeks ago by one
in authority that the President was
only awaiting a suitable opportunity
to do what he could to terminate the
present war. He was restrained at
that time, and is now, by the Iron
clad rule of the State Department,
that under no circumstances or con
ditions shall the government make a
formal offer to bring the belligerent*
to peace terms unless both of them
shall signify a willingness to avia.il of
his good offices. That point ha* not
yet been reached ln this war.
It is known that Japan, having been
in full and free conference with the
State Department here and with Mr.
Grlscom, the American minister at
Toklo, for many weeks past. Is will
ing to entertain an offer of good of
fices from the President or Kin*
Edward looking toward terminating
the war, but so far no such Intima
tion has come from Russia, and the
slightest suggestion of an Intention
to urge peace Upon Russia has arous
ed both private and official resent
ment on' the part of the Russian of
ficials here.
RUSSIA WANTS NO
PEACE AT PRESENT.
I’restlge Would Suffer In Accept li
nl This Time.
St. Petersburg, Nov. 10.— In official
circles Lord Lansdowne’s veiled sug
gestion that the Russo-Japanese oon
lllct might be settled by arbitration
finds an unfavorable echo. The sen
timent prevails stronger than ever that
Russia’s prestige must be vindicated
befor* the Idea of peace can be enter
tained.
Hopeless as is the Ides of bring
ing (he war to s conclusion it seems,
however, that there are those In high
quarters who consider that there is a
bars possibility of bringing the con
flict to a close on the basts of arbi
tration, If such a proposllon came di
rectly from Japan. Russia has an
nounced again and again that no prop
osition from an uninterested power
would tvsn be answered, but that any
proposition from Japan direct, no mat
ter through what intermediary, would
be considered.
A proposal from Japan to arbitrate
the controversy would appeal strong
ly to Emperor Nicholas. He is ex
tremely proud of being the author of
The Hague conference, and In spite
of the difficult position In which Rus
sian military prestige would be left
by a cessation of hostilities at this
juncture those competent to Judge ac
tually entertain the belief that such
an offer on the part of Japan now
would not be in vain.
ETSE MOUNTAIN IS
PROVING NO MOLE HILL
Difllcnlt I’roblom for the Japanese
to Demonstrate.
” Che Foo, Nov. 10, Noon.—Etse moun
tain, according to Chinese, 120 of whom
arrived here to-d iy from Port Arthur,
is proving a costly obstacle to the Jap
anese. On the mornings of Nov. 5 and
6 fierce assaults on the position were
made by the Japanese, who were re
pulsed. During the second assault, a
shell, soaring over the other drills from
Palichuang, dropped on Etse mountain
and demolished a land mine and the
mine-controlling station and exploded
other mines.
The Russians were holding the
trenches on the boundary of the mined
section. Between 600 and 700 were kill
ed or wounded. The Japanese, not hav
ing reached the place, were unhurt,
Etse mountain owes the best part of
its strength to the peculiar topography
of the surrounding country, which pre
vents a direct artillery fire and does
not enable the Japanese to advance
trenches with the success evinced else
where. The Japanese advanced on It
In both instances from behind distant
hills, with the fullest force the ground
would allow, but in the long distances
which they were compelled to traverse
in the face of machine guns, their
ranks were melted. Both times the
Japanese broke the wire entangle
ments in places. One soldier with a
leg torn off was seen trying to bite
the wires.

JAPANESE ANGERED
AGAINST RUSSIANS.
Massacre Is Feared When Port Ar
thur Falls.
Toklo, Nov. 10, 10:45 a. m.—lt is re
ported that Gen. Stoessel, command
ing at Port Arthur, has asked the
Japanese for an armistice, the purpose
of which is not stated. A confirmation
of the reDort is unobtainable.
It is hoped here that Gen. Stoessel
will capitulate before the city proper
is taken. The Japanese soldiers are
angry and inflamed on account of the
alleged abuse of their wounded by tho
Russians. They believe they will be
murdered if captured. Under these
conditions, it will possibly be difficult
to avoid a massacre when the troops
meet in the final combat.
CONFLAGRATION CAUSED
BY THE BOMBARDMENT.
Toklo, Nov. 10, 8:30 p. m. —A report
from Gen. Nogl’s headquarters before
Port Arthur, dated Nov. 9, says:
“The enemy’s military warehouse
situated ln the northern part of Port
Arthur, was bombarded Nov. 6 with
heavy siege and naval guns. The
bombardment caused a conflagration.

SURE OF MISSOURI.
Folk, Too, Was the Choice of That
Stnte’* Voters.
St. Louis, Nov. 10.—With seven
counties still to be heard from at
nightfall, the returns showed that
Rioosevelt’s plurality in Missouri
stood at 15,755. Of the seven counties
unheared from, six went for Bryan In
1900. They are remote and sparsely
settled.
At the same time, Folk's plurality for
governor stood at 34,883. Figures on
the remainder of the Democratic
ticket were still lacking.
At Democratic state headquarters, It
was slated that only one-third of the
returns from the state on the balance
of the state ticket had been revelved
at. 6 o’clock. It was contended that the
state ticket might not be defeated.
Similar claims were made concerning
the complexion of the legislature.
Chairman Neidrinchaus conceded
that Folk had been elected governor,
but stated tflat there was not the least
doubt but that the balance of the
Democratic ticket had been defeated.
He said: “The Republicans will have
a majority in the legislature on
Joint ballot of at least 14 and. perhaps,
20. This means the election of a Re
publican United States senator. Re
turns will show that the Republicans
have elected eight congressmen and
as the Sixteenth district is in doubt,
its returns may show the election of
one more Congressman, making nine
ln all.”

cussed in political circles. The Mexi

"Definitely and in an unmistakable
manner the American electorate
stamps its approval of the Imperialis

tention of all the Insular territory ac
quired from Spain In both oceans; to
the rapid pushing to completion of the
Panama canal; to the building up of a
great navy, and to the movement for
strengthening the military arm of the
