BITTER FEELING Among Chinese Over Na vel Visit to Port oi Amoy. Division ot Fleet and Presence Of Squadron Only Cause. Reports Differ as to Reception of Our Officers by Chinese. Pekin, Nov. 5.—The American squad ron has left Amoy, still the matter of their presence at the southern port hits not been more than mentioned in Pe kin. Ofllcials are silent and the im pression of general humiliation at the fact that only a squadron came, in stead of the whole fleet, cannot be con cealed. The meagreness of the reply of the foreign board to Admiral Sper ry's message of congratulation on the birthday of the Dowager Empress also has attracted attention, and it is clear that the throne has been indifferent to the whole affair. There are people also who point to the fact that Amoy has had a severe storm while the weather in the north lias been beautiful and clear as an evidence of the mistake of the authorities in selecting Amoy as a port of call. In short, it is generally realized and declared in Pekin that th“ coming of the squadron and not the main licet will have an unfortunaU effect upon present relations. The principal British newspaper in China in an unfriendly editorial ar ticle today, approves the sending of a squadron instead of the whole tieet and refers to ‘‘America’s gambit in opening a commercial lottery after returning an indemnity to which she was not entitled.” The patter gives various rea sons why tlie fleet should not have come, saying, among other tilings, that China would have misinterpreted a visit from all tile vessels, and that tie presence of the entire fleet would have shown lack of consideration of Brit ish sensibility. Amoy, Nov. f..—The admirals of tin fleet anil their stalTs, the commanding officers of the various vessels of the fleet and the midshipmen were enter tained at a dinner on shore for the Inst time last night. The usual toasts were proposed by Prince Yu Dang, one of the official representatives from Pe kin. Admiral Emery replied as fol lows: "Our licet everywhere lias had a most friendly reception, but none lias been more friendly than that accorded us here by China. Our enlisted men are very appreciative of the attentions shown them ill Amoy. They have had more attention here than anywhere else on the entire cruise, excepting Australia, where ttie people are of the same race. And the officers and men greatly appreciate the kindliness of Prince Yu Bang, his personal interest in all tile details of the entertainment and his presence at all the functions." Upon tlic- conclusion of this brief address Admiral Emery and the other guests of the evening surrounded the prince and cheered him enthusiastical ly. Admiral Hah of the Chinese navy was then greeted by a blast of a steam siren anil more cheering. The admirals and the captains then personally expressed their apprecia tion to the prince of the gilts presented them by the provincial viceroy. TWO COLLISIONS. (Continuer! From Page One.) Troy.

EX-BANKERS MORSE ARD GURUS ARE FOUND 6UILTY. (Continued from Page One.) Tlx career of Charles AY. Morse was among tlie sensational developments of modem American finance. Rising from successful operations in the ice business, Morse soon acquired a reputation for company promoting and trust organizing. At the time of bis gaining control of the Bank of North America lie had already acquired con trol of a number of local and out-of town banks which became known in ihe financial world as tlie Morse chain of banks. At the height of his fame lie was director in 26 corporations and 1 anks. Two of bis most famous ex ploits were engineering the formation of the American Ice Co. and tlie con solidation of several coastwise lines of stc unships. 1'p to tlie time of tlie suspension of tlie National Bank of North America possibly no man.in tlie banking world was held in higher regard by bis as sociates in tlie field of finance than Alfred H. Curtis. One of the witnesses during the trial testified to the clfeet that. ‘’Curtis could not tel! an untruth if he wanted to.” His career in the financial field began at 16, when he entercel the office of a Wall street broker, leaving see ti afterwards to ac cept a clerkship) in tin* Bank oi the State "f New York. It was in this in stitution that la* lor rued the acquain tance of Morse. Curtis had risen through every grade until he entered the position of cashier. At the time President Edwards of the Bank of the State of New 'York bad differed with Morse on certain matters connected with the conduct of lhe imnk and had taken advantage of bis absence in Europe to depose him as director. Upon bis return from abroad. Morse acquired control of tlie stock of the bank and ousted Edwards. It was in looking about for someone to fill tiis place that be chanced on Curtis. Curtis was made president and later when tlie Bank of North America was merged with the Bank of the State of New York his title and office was r ultima d over the consolidated insti tutions.

Saturday ,‘dp-v. love our the lint water heating apparatus in the gymnasium and an nounced that the class memorial would be a new equipment. It is the custom for tile junior class to leave a me morial on Hallowe'en, and heretofore this has been of a decorative character. This year's class decided to provide sum tiling useful. After piling the old equipment in the campus, the juniors went to their banquet. A black fox with a pelt worth $'>0h. driven from the liiils by the extreme i old. was killed in the streets of Nome. Alaska, recently. The animal was "based by hundreds of Nome citizens and finally its rich pelt fell to a ton uerfoot prospector, who made a wild slum at the fox with a club and killed it. IDLE EMPLOYES Hope to keep Douglas Go’s. Work in Brockton. Say Thai Firm Old Not Violate Contract With Union. Appoint Committee To Work For Renewal of Same. Brockton, Mass., Nov. 5.—Employes of the \V. L,. Douglas Shoe Co. held a mass meeting this afternoon and ap pointed a committee of one from each department to go before the Brockton Joint Shoe Council and open negotia tions for a renewal of the contract between the Douglas Co. and the Boot and Shoe Workers’ Union. The meet ing was held in the vacant No. 1 fac tory of the concern in the Montello sec tion and was attended by about 1500 of the 1000 employes of the company. All the speakers referred to the fact that tlie Douglas Co. has leased a fac tory in Spring-vale, Me., for five years, with a prospect that a portion of the company’s business will he removed from this city. In addition to the appointment of the committee to confer with the Brock ton Joint Shoe Council, resolutions wire adopted taking the ground that the company has not violated its con tract with the Boot and Shoe Workers’ Union, as claimed by the general of ficers of that organization. It was pointed out also that about 50 per cent, of the employes of the com pany are out of work and it was said that over 2000 of those had received notices from the company not to ex pect employment in the near future at least.

Mem ners rrom tne urunswick :m.—While it is not bt Moved in official circles that Germany will make the Casablanca incident the subject if. an ultimatum, considerable disquiet exists here and the opinion continues to he held that Germany is seeking: to indict diplomatic humilia tion upon France as a diversion from Hie situation which has arisen at home from the publication of Emperor Wil liam's now famous interview. The in cident in question arises from the de sertion from the foreign legion of the French army of a number of German subjects j.nd tl.eir protection by the German authorities at Casablanca. Tnis time, however. France is resolv ed to stand firm. Jules Gambon, the French, ambassador in Berlin, lias been instructed to notify Germany that France maintains her view that the whole question should lie arbitrated and that in the meantime she declines to release tile deserters, to reprimand the officers concerned, or to exchange tegards with Germany. At tlie same time the chancelleries of St. Peters burg and London hnv been informed of the exact situation. Premie- eirmenceau declared tas an nounced by the following words: ‘We "alt Germany's response, confident that this lom.’.ila must appeal to Germany’s sense of justice if she frankly wishes to reach an understanding.’ “Russia and Great Britain fully support the attitude of France.” The Temps is of the opinion that the present situation in Europe makes it absolutely impossible for Germany to risk an armed conflict. “It would be a crowning imprudence,” this paper says, "For Prince Von Buelow to risk a war when Austria-Hungary is ab sorbed in tile Near East, when the Balkan states are ready to close the German roads to the eastward and when Russia, aroused by a wave of Slavism, is prepared to seek a national revenge. France morally and from a military point of view, is capable of defending her dignity; Great Britain is Indisputably supreme at sea and Italy is less and less disposed to sacri fice herself in the cause of another state.” In conclusion the Temps advises the government to publish the French case to the world. FRANCE MUST YIELD. V Inference In Statement by Prominent German Newspaper. Kocningsberg, Germany, Nov. 5.— The Allgeineine Zeitung. the principal national Liberal organ in the eastern provinces, publishes a semi-official note as follows: "Tliere is good reason to believe that the Franco-German discussion of the Casablanca incident is sharpening and on will become an open conflict. The negotiations still are proceeding, but German patience must some time reach its limit. If France, in the meantime, does not decide to yield to the moder ate German demands, then Germany will lie compelled to speak more plain ly. The Foreign Affairs Committee of the Federal Council, which meets on Saturday will have to decide how this is to bo done.” HOPEFUL REPORTS. (Continued from Page One.) aid. Old Orchard Club: Mrs. L.

[FROM NEW YORK TV’ORIJ), APRII. 10, 'OSJ ATE FRYING PAN FULL OF BACON EVERY EVENING Feat Performed By Guides Impossible For New Yorkers, Says Cooper. The headquarters of I.. T. Cooper, the young man who claims that the stomachs of many Americans are de generate, has presented a scene of un usual activity for the past few days. Cooper with his assistants is meeting the public at present in New York. The success he has had in other r;t> seems to have followed him here, for an astonishing number of people are calling to have his theory and medi cines explained to them. Thursday afternoon when inter viewed, Cooper said: "I tun often asked if my medicine is good for kidney trouble, or liver complaint, or rheumatism, or a dozen other diseases too numerous to mention. These are hard questions to answer. Frankly, my treatment is for the stomach, and for the stomach alone, but if the func tion of digestion is being properly per formed very few people can h** sick “The stomach is the seat of life. The entire system depends upon its action. Why are there so many half-sick people today? It is because the iv.niaeh i a a, -r uiimu no lives a shut-up life day after day. taking little or no exercise in the fresh air, cannot digest th amount of food that is forced upon it. It gradually grows weaker under th so circumstances, and nervousness, kidney trouble, rheuma tism, etc., is the result. “I am successful with my treatment because the medicine cleans out the food tracts that have become clogged, gets the digestive organs regulated and gives nature a chance, (live nature a chance, that's the secret of health, "hast year 1 was on a fishing trip in Northern Minnesota. I had two guides who had spent their lives in the woods trapping, hunting and fishing. When night came these men would eat a Irv ing pan full of bacon, pouring the grease over great hunks of a soggy sort of h" 'nit. The sight of these j slabs of bacon would sicken most New Yorkers, out these men munched it down with a relish and then rolled up in a blanket and slept like logs. They never knew they had a stomach, so perfectly did the gastric juices perform their function. I asked them if they were ever sick. They both laughed at the idea. "Never had a minute's sick ness,' they said. "Modern conditions make it impos sible for people to live as these men live, but if they get their digestions in shape there will be mighty liui rheumatism or kidney trouble or "iver complaint.

MARKET REPORTS NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Feature* of the Day’e Dealings In All The Leading Stocks. New York. Nov. 5.—The stock market today gave plain signs cf feeling the ef fect of 'he speculative pace which was set for it yesterday and finally became unsettled and hesitating. The total of that business fell away considerably from the large aggregate of yesterday and the decrease evidently marked the satisfac tion of the fist eager speculative demand induced by the election results. Stocks wore fed out freely to meet this demand from the outset. All bids were idled promptly, according to the definition ol brokers on the Poor. Afterwards there was a disposition te push the sales at con essions. The impression thus made ol the market having arrived at a stage that discounts the favorable factors was emphasised bv its action in respjon.se to the announcement of the plan for dis bursing Jll.sfj extra profits on each share of old Northern Pacific stock, the new stock on which the final 1 2!!■ pier cert, oi subscriptions is payable In January not sharing in the ''melon."

Nov. 5.—Returns from the six New England states, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts and Kin, le Island, complete, except lor a lew small precincts in Maine and New Hampshire, show the following Republican pluralities for President: Maine 31,500 New Hampshire 13,000 Vermont 38,000 Massachusetts 101,000 It Rode Island 19,O0v Connecticut 44,751 The only change in the Congression al delegation from these five states, in the face of the returns, is in Rhode Is land, where the Republicans gaiil one member, William P. Sheffield defeating Congressman 1). I,. D. Granger by a margin of 36 votes. There will be a re count in Granger’s district and alsi i in the 10th Massachusetts district whore Congressman Joseph F. O'Con j nell was returned by a very small rnur i gin. 1 Three of the six states. New Hamp shire, Massachusetts and Rhode Is land. voted for governor Tuesday, anc in all three the Republican candidate? were elected by the following plurali ties: New Hampshire—Henry B. Quinby over Clarence E. Carr, by 1000. Massachusetts—Eben S. Draper over Janies H. Vahey, by 60,000. 1 Rhode Island. Aram J. Potiiier, ovei i Olney Arnold, by 7000. Maine and Vermont elected Republi 1 can governors at state elections belt in September. All the states have elected Legisla tures strongly Republican, but New Hampshire is the only state in whicl a United States senator is to be clios en, and m that state Jacob H. Guilin ger, whose term will expire next March will probably be returned. The tabulation of votes received bj candidates for the Presidency in tin various minor parties shows the fo! lowing results: Rhode Island—Debs, Soc.. 1237; Chat in. Pro.. U96: Hisgen, Ind., 814. Maine—Debs. Soc., 1295; Cliafin, Pro. 1185; Hisgen, Ind.. 625. Vermont—Chatin, Pro.. 848; Hisgen Ind., 719. The Socialists did not file pa pers in Vermont this year. New Hampshire—Debs, Soc., 1228 1 Chafin, Pro., 903; Hisgen. Ind., 579. Massachusetts—40 towns missing Debs, Sue., 12,317: Chafin, Pro., 4'»»7 Hisgen, Rid.. 19,654. CALIFORNIA. Plurality of 74,276 for Taft and 23,57' for Melvin. San Francisco, Nov. 5.—The vote ii California as far as complete, shows plurality for Taft of 74,276 and a plur alit.v for Melvin. Republican, suprem court, of 23,379. WASHINGTON. Sweeping Victory for Republican Stat and National Tickets. Seattle, Wash., Nov. 4.—Washingtoi gave Judge Taft a majority over W. J Bryan that will exceed 40.000 and ma; run as high as 50.000. The Republican also elected congressmen in all thre districts. In the 1st and 2d district respectively, Humphrey and Cushmai had a walkover. Poindexter in the 3i district had a harder fight but he ha an estimated majority of 10.000 ove Goodyear. Cosgrove, the Republicai candidate for governor, won by almos as handsome a majority as did the Re publican congressional candidates ii the 1st and 2d districts. The Legisla I ture which will elect a successor to United States Senator Levy Ankeney, is heavily Republican. Seattle, Wash., Nov. 5— Returns from every county in the state place Taft’s plurality over Bryan at 46.558. The Presidential vote on the Socialist, Prohibition and independence party tickets was inconsiderable and fell far below the predictions made by their respective leading supporters. For gov ernor, Cosgrove’s plurality over John Pattison, Dem„ is figured at 47,166. The Republicans have a majority of 7 on joint ballot in the Legislature, which insures the election of Congress man Wesley L. Jones to the United States Senate to succeed Levi Ankeny. COLORADO. Latest Returns Show That Democrats Have Carried Entire Ticket. Denver. Nov. 5.—Returns from 132 of the 146 precincts in Denver give Bryan plurality of 2648; Shafroth, Democrat for governor, 5717. Outside counties are still incomplete, but there is sufficient to base the statement that both Democratic national and stale tickets have been victorious and also that tile next Legislature will be Democratic by a majority of 16. This insures the election of Charles J. JIughes of Denver as successor to United States Senator Henry M. Teller, which selection will be made by the next general assembly. It is also sure that all three Democratic members of Congress have been elected. WEST VIRGINIA. Taft Now Has 25,198 and Glasscock 11,172 Plurality. Wheeling, W. Va., Nov. 5.—Later re turns received by the Register on Tuesday's election increase the plural ities of both Taft and Glasscock. The live Congressional districts are Repub lican by safe pluralities. The returns at hand make the Taft plurality in the state 25.198. The plurality for Glass cock for governor is 11,172. OHIO. 75.000 for Taft—Rest of Republican Ticket Elected Except Governor. Cincinnati. Nov. 5.—Taft carried his home state by 75,000 at the same time that the Democrats elected Judge Har mon governor by 20,000 plurality. On these two points fairly complete fig ures have been received. The remain der of the state ticket is probably Re publican, the Democrats being about ready to concede the fact. The Demo crats concede a Republican Legisla ture by which a United States senator will be elected to the place now filled by Senator Foraker. Cincinnati, Nov. 5.—At Tuesday’s election Ohio polled a vote that sur passes the million ballots deposited four years ago, making a new high record for Ohio voters. Enough was known early Tuesday night to make it j evident that the Republicans had given a heavy plurality for Taft, Republican and Harmon, Democratic had won for governor, but exact figures were slow in coming in. The big ballot caused much of the difficulty. Taft carried Ohio by probably over 70.000 while Harmon won by about 20, 000. Such figures as have been re ceived on minor candidates, although meagre indicate the probable victory of all other Republicans on the state ticket. The Republicans are also be lieved to have carried the Legislature. INDIANA. Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 5.—Fred A, Sims, acting Republican chairman of tile state committee, late tonight claims the election of the Republican state ticket with the exception of governor and attor ney general by small pluralities. That William H. Taft lias carried the state on the national ticket and Thomas R. Marshall, Democratic candidate for governor, is conceded by both sides. CONNECTICUT. New Haven, Ct., Nov. 5.—Connecti cut's vote for President complete was as follows: Tatt, 112,874; Bryan, 68. 120; Chafin, 12,807; Debs, 4959; Gil haus, 443; Hisgen, 501. NEW HAMPSHIRE. Concord, N. H., Nov. 5.—Complete returns from all the polling- precincts in New Hampshire on the vote for President give Taft 53,659; Bryan 33, 537. a Republican plurality of 20.122. PENNSYLVANIA. Philadelphia, Nov. 5.—Complete but unofficial returns of Tuesday’s election from 63 of the 67 counties in Pennsyl vania arid careful estimates from the four missing counties show a plurality for Taft of 292.586. UTAH. Salt Lake City, Utah, Nov. 5.—In complete returns from the state at large, with practically complete re turns from Salt Lake City show a de cided falling off in the Socialist vote from that of 1904. The Socialist vote in the state four years ago was 5767 and this year it is not expected to he over 3000. Hisgen received about 30 votes in this city while not over it dozen votes were cast for Chafin. GEORGIA. I Atlanta, Gil.. Nov. 5.—The Presiden tial vote of all parties in Georgia as compiled to date are: Democratic 70. i 800: Republican 39,000; Peoples party, i 17.200; Prohibition, 750; Independence 85. OKLAHOMA. Guthrie, Okla., Nov. 5.—The Socialist vote in Oklahoma will aggregate 20,000, s double that of last year. No figures are obtainable on the Independence party vote which appears to have been 1 very small. MISSOURI. Taft’s Plurality Now 4067 and Hadley 5 16,787 for Governor. 1 St. Louis. Nov. 5.—Returns compiled at 11 o’clock from every county in Mis souri give Taft a plurality over Bryan i of 4067. While complete reports are t not in from every county, yet the re turns are full enough to make a Re i publican victory of this state on the national ticket a certainty. The plur allty of Herbert H. Hadley, (Rep.) for governor, lias reached 16.787. At 11 o’clock tonight the. Democrats seem to be assured of control of the General Assembly by six votes on joint ballot. Later returns from the rural counties show surprising gains for Governor Folke in the contest with Senator Wil liam J. Stone for the Democratic sena torial nomination and there is a pos sibility that he will yet overcome the tremendous lead that Stone received in St. Louis and Kansas City. John C. McKinley is still in the lead. Taft Carries Missouri by 2228. St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 5.—Returns practi cally complete from the entire state give Taft a plurality over Bryan in Missoni: of 222S. NEBRASKA. Bryan’s Great Plurality Has Dwindled To About 2000 Votes. Lincoln, Neb., N.ov. 5.—The feature in the Nebraska election count today was the steady decrease in the estimat ed plurality for Bryan. Returns com plete from 81 of the 90 counties in the state give Bryan 121,080; Taft 118,699. The prospects are that Bryan has car ried the state by a little over 2000. VIRGINIA. Danville, Va„ Nov. 5.—The complete official returns from the 5th district as received by the Register tonight show that Congressman Saunders, (Deni.), has been re-elected over Par sons (Rep.) by a majority of 57. MARYLAND. Still in Doubt, But Electoral Vote Will Probably Be Split. Baltimore, Md., Nov. 5.—With the of ficial vote of one-third of Baltimore city and 21 out of 23 counties complete and estimating the missing districts on the basis of the unofficial returns, Taft had an apparent plurality of 176. The indications were that sevc-n Bry an and one Taft electors had been chosen. According to the figures, Bryan re ceived 115,782 votes and Taft 115,958. This result if borne out by the com pleted official count is a precise dupli cation of what occurred in the Presi dential election of 1904, and the rea son is that apparently more Republi cans and Democrats marked their bal lots for the first-named elector only. This is considered to be due chiefly to the ballot law which prohibits the par ty emblem. The illiterate voter fre quently marks his ballot so that it counts only for the first elector on the ticket and as the Republican illiterate vote because of the larger number of negroes voting with that party is greater than the Democratic illiterate vote, there is always a considerable discrepancy between the vote received by the lirst Republican elector and the others. Baltimore. Md., Nov. 5.—The official canvass of Tuesday’s vote was begun in Maryland today and completed in 21 out of the 23 counties outside ol Baltimore city. In Baltimore it was but half finished when the board of canvassers suspended its labor tonight. Until fills count is completed the re sult will remain in doubt. In some counties there was a wide difference in the vote on Presidential electors on both tickets, which made the situation more complicated.. It is generally conceded, except by the rival leaders, that Maryland’s vote in the electoral college will be split. Neither of the chairmen of the two great parties will concede anything to the opposite side. The canvassed portion of the Balti more city vote showed a gain of 167 for Taft. This added to the unofficial plurality gave him a lead of 1967 in this city. The totalling and verifying of the county vote tonight was being done with the utmost care and conse quently was slow. MICHIGAN. Detroit, Mich. Nov. 5.—Governor Ford M. Warner's plurality for his re election over L. T. Hemans, (Deni.) stands tonight between 7553 and 11.136 with fairly complete returns from the counties out in the state. Philip Breitmeyer (Rep.) was elected mayor of Detroit by a plurality of 2428 over Mayor William B. Thompson (Dem.) COLORADO. Denver, Col.. Nov. 5.—On unofficial returns for the entire state, which are not likely to be materially changed, Bryan's plurality in Colorado, is 5577 and for governor, Shafroth, Democrat, leads McDonald, Republican, by 9382. Three Democrats are elected to Con gress. The Democrats control both houses of the Legislature. Charles J. Hughes, Jr., will be elected United States senator to succeed Teller. NORTH CAROLINA. Greensboro, N. C., Nov. 5.—At Re publican state headquarters here it is claimed that Bryan's majority in North Caiolina is less than 20,000. Dem ocrats are claiming a majority of about 40,000. oflicial returns show the elec tion of three Republican congressmen. NEVADA. National Ticket in Doubt—State Democratic Ticket Elected. Reno, Nevada, Nov. 5.—While Neva da's state ticket is more completely Democratic this year than at any other campaign in its history, the Legisla ture being entirely Democratic, latest reports show that the state is actually in doubt as to the result on the na tional ticket. NEVADA. Reno, Nev., Nov. 5.—United States Senator Newlands, Dem., has been re elected by a majority of between 2000 and 3000, both parties having agreed to abide by the result of the Legisla ture election. MONTANA. Taft Carries the State—Plurality Will Probably Be 2500. Helena. Mont., Nov. 5.—State Chair man I-anstrum of the Republican com mittee gave the following figures this afternoon: In 441 precincts gave Taft 25,955; Brvan 24,722; Donlin, Rep., for governor, 25.S14; Norris, Dem., 27,710. There are 300 precincts, largely Re publican, to be heard from, which an* expected to increase the Republican vote by about 2500 over the Democrat ic vote. WISCONSIN. Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 5.—The total vote of Wisconsin will not be known for several days. Aside from the two leading' parties, the Social-Democrats showed the greatest strength. ARIZONA. Phoenix, Ariz., Nov. 5.—Secretary Young of the Republican state central committee stands by his statement that Cameron (Rep.), for delegate to Con gress, has defeated Smith. (Dem.), by BOO votes. Cameron's seeming plurali ty, based on party lines, is in excess of 1000. Phoenix, Arix., Nov. 5.—With practi cally complete returns from every county in Arizona but one. Ralph H. Cameron, Rep., is elected to Congress, defeating Marcus A. Smith, Dem.. in cumbent by 500 votes. DEBS CLAIMS GAIN Instead of Falling Off in Real Vote of the Socialist Party. Terre Haut. Ind., Nov. 5.—Eugene V. Debs, defeated candidate for the Presi dency on the Socialist ticket, made the following statement today concerning the Socialist vote: "The so-called falling off was not a falling off. I attribute the votes fall ing short of the expected murk to the fact that an unusually large vote was cast for the Socialist candidate in 1904. Then there were a great many dis gruntled Democrats who were chagrin ed because Parker was nominated, and they voted with the Socialists. This year they went back to the Democratic party and voted for Mr. Bryan. I count that we have made a gain in the actual Socialist vote.” Chicago, Nov. 5.—The Socialist vote in Tuesday's election showed a great falling off from the record in 1904 in the three principal cities of the coun try in which Socialism is strongest. Chicago Socialists who polled 45,000 votes in 1904 were given less than 19, 000 votes in the police returns. Cincin nati and Cleveland, also listed as strong Socialist centers according to the leaders of the party, polled a greatly decreased vote. The total vote for Mr. Debs, it is es timated, will not exceed 500.000 in place of the 1,000.000 Which was predicted by enthusiastic Socialists. In this county Hisgen polled 5635 votes compared with 5915 for Chafin. Chairman Jones of the Prohibition party said that while the party had not gained as much as had been ex pected, throughout the country, he was satished with the slight g'ains made. New York. Nov. 5.—Undaunted by figures from the West showing a heavy failing oft in the Socialist vote in sup posed Socialist strongholds, state headquarters of the party in New York reiterated today that when all returns were in it would be shown that the total vote is almost double that of 1904 which was 402,000. The New York state vote for Debs for President, estimated on the basis of returns received at state headquarters a as placed at between 40.000 and 50. 000. The state vote in 1904 was 35.000. Generally speaking the up-state So cialist vote showed a falling- off in the cities and increases in the small towns. In Greater New York, according to the Socialist daily papers of this city. Debs polled a total of 25,361, a gain of only 847 over 1904. Hisgen. the In dependence party candidate, received 27,279 in Greater New York. NEW YORK SENATORSHIP. Root and Reid Both Prominently Named to Succeed Platt. Albany, N. Y.. Nov. 5.—In connection with the United States senatorship from New York state, which will be come vacant March 3 next by the ex piration of the term of office of Thomas C. Platt, two names not hitherto much discussed moved up td the front today and were received with much interest. That of Secretary of State Elihu Root was most discussed for the reason that he was mentioned in a Washington story as having the support of Presi dent Roosevelt. The other name most discussed today is that of Whitelaw Reid, ambassador to Great Britain and long editor of the Tribune. Ex-Lieut. Gov. Timothy L. Wood ruff, Ex-Governor Frank S. Black and Congressman J. Sloate Fassett of El mira are the others most frequently mentioned in this connection. Republican politicians said today that the situation this' year was not unlikely to develop as much interest if not bitterness as that of three years ago when Chauncey M. Depew was elected. BRYAN’S STATEMENT. (Continued from Page One.) In his address to the women Mr. Taft gave an enthusiastic commenda tion of foreign mission work. His ex perience in the Far East, he said, had taught him the value of this work in uplifting those people. TAFT IS GAINING. (Continued from Page tine.) Republican electors assured and Democrat! Rati st Congressional returns in(]|. cate that the next Congress will be composed ol ;1G Republicans and IT; Democrats, a majority for the Repub licans- of 41. The returns for the Sn. cialist and Prohibition parties are still far from complete, but indicate that tne hopes of the Socialists have not been realized and that the Prohibi tionists in certain sec tions where gains were c xpected by them have been dis. appointed. Tin figures of the Independence par ty vote ar< also insufficient t., give an accurate idea of what tin poty ac complished. Outside of the returns, political inter est was engaged today in the exchange of messages ef congratulation and thanks between Mr. Bryan and Mr. Toft; a statement by Mr. Bryan in which Ite sets lortli his determination to continue his work for the good of all, jit the capacity of a private citi zen and the announcement hv Mr. Sherman that it cost him just $2800 to be elected Vice President.
