Thore has hoen little ti'htioe fl
during the past week, hut conai i,
derahlo talk of olTort to bring ?
about poueo between tno he litre
o
rents in the far East. It seem" i(
that Japan, in an unofficial capaei- ;
ty, sounded Russia as to whether |
she were willing to enter into nc- \
gotiatioiiB, and found that hIio was
not, and so ended llio matter for a
the present. It scenis, however
that Japan expects a more favor- v
able outlook for ending the was g
when the fall of Port Arthur has c
been accomplished. That accom- y
plishmont is yet in the future, for ,j
only rumors have come from the tl
beleaguered garrison since last c
Monday. One' of these stated |
that General Stoossel had asked |
an armistice, and another was to
the effect that the Japaneso of
ficors feared a message when they o
finally captured the city, the Jap- |]
anese soldiers being so exasperat- |]
ed by the prolonged siege. t
Iii Manchuria Il?o armies contin- s
no to face each other at such close s
quarters that the Russian and q
.Japanese soldiers are'said to lie ,]
able to s.vap cigarettes and other
things and to joer each other.
But the fighting seems to bo at a
minimum, both sides apparently c
waiting for something to turn up. t
Meanwhile the severe Manchurian t
wiuter is coming on. When sol- {
diets can do little more than main |
tain themselves and hold their positions.
A Russian correspondent of the
Associated Press, telegraphing
from Mukden Saturday declares t
that the report circulated some c
time ago that General Kuroki was v
killed during the battle of Liao <
Yaner has keen confirmed. Ho
assorts that his death occured on |
October 4th, and that his body j
was sent to Japan. It seems almost
impossible that tho death of {
bo prominent an officer should bo |
concealed for over a month, and, t
therefore, there may be some j
doubt as the accuracy of the in- (
formation. However, whon it is ^
recalled that the Japs kept in
doubt for months tho fact that
the battleship Yashaima had been
sunk, despito reports of the event j
which were circulated shortly uf- terward,
they could doubtless do
the same thing regarding the death
P n n (
of Kuroki. If it is trno that he
is doad, Japan has lost one of her

The Republican landslide in

is almost as remarkable
is in the election of prcsidont.

have been blown out of pubic
life. There i? not a state where
ho party lias gained a seat, unoss
it be in Colorado, where the
ix-RopresentativeShafroth is supposed
to bo electod, and in
Maryland.
The membership after March 3
lext will 1)0 approximately 244Lvcpubltcans
and 142 Democats.
L'hat reckoning comes from con:eding
Shaforth's election in Col>rado
and the election of live Republicans
in Missouri. It also
lounis Nevada as sending a
lepuhlican to coagrcss. On
hat basis the Republican majoriy
will be 102, far and away tho
argest the Republicans have had
here since 1S94, when tho county
ovorscd its overwhelming Demo
ratic verdict of 1892 and elected
national house of 249 Ropubliins
and 108 Democrats and Popilists.
Then the Republicaes had
clear majority of 141. The lig
ires tor the next hon*e will not
ary matonnlly from t!io one i int
iven; and the majority will be in
he neighborhood of 100. The
Lepuhlicans will have almost two
lords of the membership.

Young Man Charged With Murdering
Both Parents, Sister and
Littlo Brother, and Then Firing
the House.
Auburn, (Jul., Nov. 13. ? Adolf
Weber has been placed under arrest,
charged with the murder of
liis parents, sister and young
brother lust Thursday night .and
with having set the family residence
on lire afterwards to conical
the crime. Wehor took his
irrcst coolly. The arrest took
place immediately after ho left
the witness stand, and aftep ho
had reluctantly answered the
p'.estione asked htm bv Coroner
Shepard, the distt ict attorney and
several of the jurymen.
The latest theory in the Weber ^
murder case is that the murderer ]
jh >t the father first; then, as the
lister appeared in the hall, he shot
hi ; and then tho mother, seeing
what had been done, screamed and
darted from him, when ho shot
Her. She continued on across the
room, and raising her left hand,
took down the tclepbono receiver
L > cull for help, at which time she j
received tho second shot which
penetrated the body just under '
the left arm. Tho child being the ;
only ono loft, tho murderer struck
him over tho head and felled him
The operator at the central telephone
office says that the line at
Weber residence showed "busy"
it about half hour before tho fire
was liiai'uvuiua.
Adolphus Weber, in jail this
morning, had nothing to say beyond
that t o had a good night's
rest. No effort has been made to
got the )oung man out on a writ
by Ins attorneys.
Weber'8 description is said to
tally wii'i tho description of one
of tho robbers who robbed the
bank hero.

Washington Swept bv u Snow ;
Storm.
Washington, Nov. 18.? As a
result of a snow storm which set
it here shortly before 11 o'clock
this morning. Washington today
for several hours was completely
cut off from telegraph and telephone
communication with the
outside world. Later a wire w is
obtained west, hut nono north,
south or eust. Both the Western
Union and the Postal Telegraph
companies report severe damages
to their wires and their inability
to get any messages through. Inquiry
at tho railroad stations developed
the fact that trains wero
departing on schedule time but that
incoming trains were three or
more hours late.
Tho snowfall of today was the
