% ? MKiHTBE SURRENDER - Lite Reports From Port Arthur Show liussians in Close Quarters MAY SOLD OUT YET FOP AWHILE Although the Suggestion of Peace Wa? Made Unofficially, It Had Official Sanction and Probably Will Not be Followed by Further Repre sentations?Japan Would not Resent a Proposition From the United ' States, France and England? Roosevelt Expected to.Take the Initiative?Japanese Minister to Eng lane Hcpeful. London, By Cable.?Japan unofficially ha.; made representations to Russia looking to peace. This action has lesulted 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 government. It was made direct to Russia. No power acted as an intermediary. The proposition was put forward tentatively and unofficially, so that the Japanese government would be in a A position to deny any report that it w-oc sninp fnr The failure of these direct negotiations, however, resulted in bringing intervention within a measurable distance. 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 speei n with full knowledge that Japan will not resent a proposition looking to peace from tho three powers ?the United States, France and Great Britain. There is a definite impression hero that the initiative will come from President Roosevelt, though tho action.?rould be joint. In an interview regarding the fore going. Baron Hayashi. the Japanese minister, said: "1 should not be surprised to see the three powers named, or two of then?, take the action suggested. Exactly upon what basis of a settlement peace could be secured, is at present impossible to see. but ihere is not the slightest doubt, that v combined ^representations, especially if led by President Rooesvelt, would have n far-r-aching result between the two countries, one of which was thor ougbl.v defeated. It is comparatively easy to xnakfe peace in this case, as neuter siae IS tnorougmy ueiumcu, ' yet. The prospects for the. success of f>itndly intervention have vastly increased. Since the commencement of the war, the two nations now respect each other to a degree never before dreamed of before tbey met in battlo. That mutual respect is the most hopeful factor for peace. Japan does not want to go on fighting for over. Yet, even with all the victories won during this war, her statesmen would render themselves liable to be most seriousiy misunderstood, espec- 1 , ially in Russia, if they openly sug V- gested in the name of humanity some methods whereby tho war could bo 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 1 misunderstood, emanate from the "United States and Great Brita.ni but nothing can be done - until, the fali , of ?ort Arthur." r* Husband Kills Boarder. Hagerstown, *Md., Special.?A sensa tional murder occurred in this city at oclock Thursday morning, when Frederick Easton, a horse dealer, shol end instantly killed Lorenz Kline, in j cold blood at the home of the former, whe'e Kline was a boarder. Easton claimed that be found Kline and his wife together. After the shooting, Easton was lodged in jail. Easton con-r.,1 If lino UUVtVU A IAKIIU1U5 uuuot, auu boa rded with the family. He had been sick for several days, according to the statement of Mrs. Easton and several of the boarders. Mrs. Easton stated that early Wednesday morning Kline called her to his room to administer some tablets, feeling drowsy shf re- I clined on the bed and fell asleep. Her 1 - husband, who occupied a front rooiri? ' on awakening and failing to find his 1 wifi in bed, went to Kline's room and , found the two asleep. He went out 1 of the house quietly, and crossed the \ street to the brewery and asked William Andrews, the fireman, to lend him < his pistol, saying he wauled the weapon ro shoot a mad dog. Securing the pistol, he went back to the house, and , entering the room occupied by Kline ! and his wife, advanced to the bed, and I loading over his wife, shot Kline in the , left side of the head. The bullet en- ( tered above the left temple and passed . through Kline's head, being imbedded i ia the right of his skull which was J fractured. The bulet afterwards wai removed by physicians. Mrs. Easton | 'was aroused by the report of the pistol. and jumped up and ran from the room. Easton did not attempt to at tack his wife and made no remark to her. L.. To Be Hanged in Mexico. Mexico City, Special.?The legislature of the state of Mexico has approved the report of the commission of Justice, denying the right of commutation from capital punishment to John Madden, an American, who killed Dr. Richard D, King, at Oaxaca.

No da e has be?n fixed lor the execution of Madden. 4 6RfATEST ON tECOW Latest Returns Indicate That Rooss* velt's Plurality Will Exceed 1,500,. 000, Far in Excess of McKinley's i? 1896. New York. Special.?With the election returns still incomplete.the plurality of President Roosevelt in the nation. according to all indications, will exceed 1.500.000. the greatest plurality ever given an American candidate. The nearest approach to this vote was in 1S96, when McKlnley received a plurality approximately 850,000. The interest centers in Missouri and Maryland. Late returns indicate that th^ former state is in the Republican column so far as presidential electors are concerned, but that Joseph Folk, the Democratic candidate, has been elected governor. Maryland's presidential vote will be cast for President Roosevelt. Late returns tonight Indicate that Thomas A. Smith, Democrat, has been elected to congress in 'the first district by 450 plurality. Congressman Jackson, of this district, tonight, however puts forward a claim of trick ballots and fraud and says he will-contest the election. In the other states it is simply a question of pluralities. The solid south was broken by the probable defection of Missouri?this section of the country usually having 13 states in the Democratic column. The figures tonight show but 12 states, with 133 votes, for Judge Parker. President Roosevelt carried all the northern states?swept them, in fact? and tonight he had 343 electoraf votes. The banner state is Pennsylvania. Twenty-four hours after the polls closed the returns from this state indicated that Roosevelt's plurality would reach 485.000. Next came Illinois. where the president polled approximately 225,000 more votes than Judge Parker. Ohio gave Roosevelt 200.000 and New York 174.000. The New York city returns are still incomplete, but the amazement over me iraun ama uui duubiucu. uuugc Parker carried Greater New York by only 41.000 votes. In general, the situation Is chiefly interesting because of the fact that the tickets in the many states were cut. President Roosevelt ran ahead of his ticket in many localities, notably in Massachusetts, where he secured a plurality of 86,000 votes, while the Republican candidate for governor was defeated by 35.000. In that state the legislature is Republican and the entire Republican ticket, with the exception of governor, was elected. In Missouri, circumstances are similar. In.Nebraska, the definite announcement that the legislature is' Republican. disposes of the statement that i William J. Bryan had aspirations for a United States senatorship. In that state, too, the governorship is in doubt and it will require official returns to determine who is elected. Both sides claim a victory. There is a curious situation in Minnesota. where Roosevelt secured 125.000 plurality, but where a Democratic governor and a Republican lieutenant governor were elected. The election of a Democratic governor is the sec ond in the history or the state. Chairman Babeock. of the Republican congressional committee has been returned to congress from Wisconsin, but Chairman Cowherd, of the Democratic congressional committee, was defeated In Missouri. The situation in Colorado presents an interesting phase. Roose-. velt has carried the state by probably 15,000, but the governorship is still in doubt, both sides claiming a victory. Even Missouri Succumbs. St. Louis, Mo., Special.?Twentyfour hours after the polls had closed in Missouri found the results of the election still undetermined thougbout the State, although it was practically conceded that Missouri had succumbed to the Roosevelt landslide, but that one Democrat remained standing, he being Joseph W. Folk, for. Governor. However, even in the face of inpouring returns showing a Democratic slump throughout the State, the Democrats insisted that the true results cannot l^e known until the returns had been completed, and asserted that Democracy in Missouri was yet victorious by a very narroow margin. The Republicans hoped for a complete victory throughout, and insisted that Cyius P. Walbridge, for Governor, had not been defeated, but would finally be found to have won by a slight majority. They also claimed to hav* elected five of the 16 Congressmen, making a gain of four, and declared they had a majority of two on joint ballot in the Legislature, which will elect a sucessor to United States Senator Cockrell. NORTH CAROLINA. Raleigh, N. C., Special.?North Carolina gave the entire Democratic ticket about 45,000 majority. R. B. Qlenn *as elected governor. The congressional delegation will be Democratic with, the possible exception of tb* Eighth district which may have elected E. Spencer Blackburn. Republican. Constitutional Amendments Seem to Have Carried. Columbia. S. C.. Special.?Returns from the State elections are almost as megre at midnight as they were Tuesday night, so little inteiest wa3 taken In the elections, and the three constitutional amendmeents are still In doubt, though they all appear to have been carried. Bi ennial sessions of the legislature seem saftest of the three. The exact situation will not be known here till Tuesday when the counties will make the official tabulations. Clean Sweep in Rhode Island. Providence. R. I.. Special.?Complete returns show that the Tuesday's election Roosevelt received the largest vote ever cast in Rhode Island. Tiz vote was: Roosevelt. 40.898; Parker 24.924; Roosevelt's plurality, 15.974. Lieutenant Governor Geo. H. Utter, Republican, who succeeds L. F. Garvin, Democrat, had but 594 plurality over his opponent. The next general assembly will be Republican. 50,000 in Mississippi. Jackson, Miss., Special.?Returns from Tuesday's election are coming ir slowly, but the figures as sent out last night will not be materially cbangf ?d. The Democratic ticket will have approximately fifty thousand majority in the State, with eight Democratic congressmen turned. Virginia Gives Parker 27,000. Richmond, Va..

Alcoholism Cured by Suggestion. An interesting case of curing a ^ drunkard by suggestion during his E natural sleep was related by M. Farei ai at the annual meeting of the French Society of Hypnology and Psychology. a' The man was an habitual drunkard. who spent his whole time in cafes consuming wine, beer, rum, absinthe, vermouth, etc. Although not usually a "rowdy" alcoholic, he occasionally became very violent, and at times refused any kind of treatment. Final- r< ly. suggestion was employed during a sleep without the man's knowledge, $ and after some weeks he bad no out Q] bursts of violence and improved steadily. After a year ahd a half of this treatment he was entirely cured, and only drank a little light beer at his n' meals. b g / KUROKI IS KILLED Japanese General Ends His Life Os The Field of Carnage RUMORS AT LAST ARE CONFIRMED One of the Three Chief Japanese Com manders in Manchuria was Struck ir the Breast by a Splinter of a Shell and Died at Liao Yang Oct. 4.?The Body Sent to Japan?Fortification! of Both Armies Near Mukden Now so Strong As To Defy Attack. Moscow, By Cable.? Nemirocich Danchenko, the well-known Russian war correspondent of the Associated Press, telegraphing from Mukden under Sunday's date, says the reports of the death of General Kurokl are confirmed. Acording to his version, the splinter of a shell struck General Kuroki, tearing out a portion of his heart. He died October 4 at Liao Yang, and his body was sent to Japan. A rumor persistently circulated that a kinsman of the Mikado, Siaosanal literallv. '"ThirH T.ittle Prince." has been appointed to succeed General Kuroki, but the actual command of the army has been entrusted to General Nodzu, who is reviewing operations. "For the last five weeks," says Danchenko, "we have practically not advanced at any point on the whole southwestern front even a few versts further than we stood on October 5. On the contrary, we at several places have been obliged to rettre several versta, but the present lines of defense must be considered permanent, In view of the strong fortifications r?nnstriirted. The Jananese nositions at several points are only 800 paces distant from ours and must be considered to be definitely occupied by Ibe enemy. "The latter's fortifications are acknowledged by all competent persons to be skillfully constructed. Their trenches in many places are so carefully concealed as not to be noticeable a short distance away, the earth removed being carefully thrown in front of the trenches. The general position causes a great tension on both sides. "Alarming news has been received 'rom Port Arthur, but the absence of eports during the last few days, makes it evident that the movement Jf one of the other Russian armies will be dependent upon the course of jvents there. "On November 11, scouts on our ight flank attempted to pierce the ine of the Japanese fortifications, but vere met with a stubborn resistance, md finding the enemy strongly re-en'orced, retired." Worse Than McCue Case. Auburn, Cal., Special.?Adolf Weber, las been placed under arrest' charged vith the murder of his parents, sister ind young brother last Thursday night ind with having set the family resilence on fire afterwards to conceal he crime. Weber took the arrest cooly. The arrest took place immediately ifter he left the witness stand, and afer he had reluctantly answered the [uestions asked him by Coroner Shepird, the -district attorney and several if the jurymen. The latest theory in t&e Weber murer case is that the murderer shot the ather first; then, as the sister appearid in' the hall, he shot her; and then he mother seeing what had been done, creamed and started for him. when te shot her. She continued on across he room, and raising her lert hand, ook down the telephone receiver to all for hglp, at which time she receivd the second shot, which penetrated he body just under the left arm. The feild being the only one left, the murerer struck him over the head and elled him. The operator at the cenral telephone office says that the line t the Weber residence showed "busy'*' t about half hour before the fire was iscovered. Adolphus Weber, in jail, had nothng to say beyond that he had a good ight's rest No effort has been made o get the young man out oh ar -writ y his attorneys. Weber's description is said to tally rith the description of one of the robers who robbed the bank here. Six Held For Murder.

PRESIDENT JORDAN'S ADDRESS Head Growers' Association Advises Giving the Markets and Shipper* a Rest For 60 Days in Order to Force Spinners Into the Market?Says Price Can Be Advanced 2 or 3 Cents ?Price Held Above 8 Cents Thus Far Solely by Slow Marketing. Macon, Special.?Harvie Jordan,' of Monticello, Ga., president of the Southern Cotton Growers' Protective Association, has issued an address to the cotton producers of the South in which he says, among other things: "The producers are to be congratulated for the Arm stand they have already taken to market the crop slowly, and that fact alone has prevented the price from falling to 8 cents during the month of October. The crop is about gathered, debts generally are paid and it is no longer absolutely necessary to sell the balance of the crop. The ginners' report recently issued from the United States census bureau indicated that up to October 18th only 6.400,000 bales of cotton had been ginned. This report clearly indicates that this crop will not exceed 11,000,000 bales, if it reaches that figure. The spinners can well afford to pay the producers 12 cents per pound for every bale of American short staple cotton made this season and do a proft table business for the stocknoir.ers. The price of yarns has advanced S cents per pound within the past 60 days and an unprecedented demand for cotton goods exists, while stocks 1 are generally lower than they have keen for the past 20 years. The duty of the producers is plain and simple. They have crowded the markets for the past two months, congesting every facility for handling cotton and playing into the hands of the bear speculators and spinners. The thing to do now is to give the markets and shippers a rest during the next 60 days and allow present stocks of spot cotton to < be gotten out of the ilray. Let tho spinners who are living from hand to mouth run short of cotton and force them into the markets as active buyers. Let the bear speculators begin to feel the lash of the bull operators when the latter call for the deliveries cf spot cotton which the former will be unable to deliver. "Let every holder of cotton stop selling cotton and contemplate results. Let each holder determine to put no more cotton on the market until prices advance and never sell a bale on a de rressed market. I "Let county meetings be held all over the belt, and strong and active steps bo taken to defend this moet valuable agricultural product from the ?rap?-' cious greed of the selfish speculators. Let every man who still holds a bale o* cotton In his possession join in these county or local meetings, and agitate the importance of this step' < among his neighbors,' to the end that success in the near futnre will be assured. We have held our own well so far, but we can do much better and > easily advance the price from 2 to 3 cents by persistently refusing to sell and lightening up present receipts." Danger ef a Lynching. A special from Columbia Sunday night says: According to telegrams received by Governor Hayward there is danger of u lynching in Saluda, but at present communication is cut off at that place on account of wire trouble. The following teleeram was received Sunday: "Saluda, Nov. 13. "To Gov. D. C. Hayward: "Wire sheriff at once to carry John Perry, charged with the murder of Joe Dennis Wells, to penitentiary. Unsafe here. Danger of lynching. Full particulars by first mail. (Signed) "E. S. BLEASE." Mr. Blease is the senator-elect, and on receipt of the telegram the following was sent: ' ' ! "To Sheriff W.
