Mr. J. H. Langbehn, Japanese consul
at Galveston, is in receipt of a Japanese
periodical which has proved an interest-
ing piece of the printing art to many
who have seen it. • Although quite unin-
telligible to any but those familiar with
the Japanese language, the publication
seems to be one of statistics concerning
the island empire. What catches the eye
of the foreigner'first, however, is that
the characters, instead of being printed,
in a horizontal line from left to right, as
the English,' are placed one below1 the
other, making a perpendicular line of
grostesque appearance.

REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET WINS.
By Associated Press.
Providence, R. I., Nov. 9.—At 5 o’clock
this morning 127 districts for governor in
r3hode Island give Garvin, Democrat,
'26,504; Utter, Republican, 27,424.
Basing the estimate upon the vote cast
last year in the missing districts it is
believed that Utter will be elected governor
by less than a thousand plurality.
The Republican state general officers
also have aparently been elected.
The legislature is overwhelmingly Re-
publican in both branches and insures the
reelection of Senator Nelson W. Aldrich
in January.

New Orleans, La., Nov. 9.—Bitter mu-
nicipal campaign which raged here for the
past six weeks teminated by the election
of Martin Behrman ovex' ex-Congressman
Charles Buck by a substantial majority.
The feeling during the closing hours of
the election was heightened by the calling
cut of armed citizens and soldiers by the
mayor to insure a fair count. However,
there was no trouble of a serious char-
acter, the regular Democrats winning by
a majority of 4000.
The National Democratic ticket carried
the state by about 35,000 majority. The
Republicans took but little interest in the
election and all Democratic nominees for
congress were elected.

OHIO’S AWFUL PLURALITY.
By Associated Press.
Columbus, Ohio., Nov. 9.—Revised re-
turns today show that while Republican’s
plurality on National ticket in Ohio ap-
proximately numbers 200,000, it is. about
30,000 less on state ticket.
The total vote will not exceed 1,000,000,
much less than was estimated last night,
and the Socialist vote is less than they
expected.
While the Republicans still claim all
Ohio congressmen, except Garber, the
chairman of the Democratic state com-
mittee, w’ho was reelected in the fourth
district, the latter does not concede the
fifth, thirteenth and fifteenth districts.

Chicago, Ill., Nov. 9. — Roosevelt and
Fairbanks have carried Illinois by a plu-
rality estimate this morning at 225,000. It
is certain 21 and possibly 23 of the 25 Re-
publican candidates far congress will be

PROSECUTOR FOLK IS SAFE.
By Associated Press.
Kansas City, Nov. 9.—The Times this
morning says that Folk, Democrat, has
been elected governor by probably 20,000,
that the vote on the National ticket is still
in doubt, that Roosevelt may have a
plurality and the legislature is claimed
by the Republicans. The election of a
Republican legislature will mean the re-
tirement of Senator F. M. Cockrell from
the United States senate.

DAVIS’ HOME STATE LOST.
By Associated Press.
Wheeling, W, Va., Nov. 9.—It is admitted
at Democratic headquarters that Roose-
velt has carried West Virginia by a ma-
jority of . upwards of 10,000, but it is also
claimed that Cornwell, Democrat, has
beaten Dawson, Republican candidate, for
governor, and possibly the entire Demo-
cratic state ticket may go into office on'
the anti-Dawson wave. The Republicans,
have the legislature on joint ballot but
by a reduced majority, insuring thS re-
turn of Senator Scott to the senate. The
Republicans elected three of the five con-
gressmen while the Q.emocrats claim that
Walker wins over Dayton in the second
and Murdock over Woodyard in the fourth.

Movement on Foot to Have Plant Estab-
lished at Galveston..
A movement has been started for the
■establishment of a macaroni and noodle
factory in Galveston, The Galveston
Chamber of Commerce has taken up the
matter and is very hopeful of success.
A large eastern manufactory, after
looking over the field, decided that Gal-
veston is an ideal place for the location
of a factory to supply the western and
southwestern territory. This institution
is backed by $100,000 capital and is said to
be one of the wealthiest and most pro-
gressive concerns in the country.
It is explained by the promoters of the
project that .the manufacturers find it
impossible to handle the trade in this
section of the country , to advantage, ow-
ing to the high freight rates. To over-

The uncertainty is due to the amazing
strength developed in Salt Lake City
and county by the American party,
which is fighting alleged Mormon church
domination in both the old parties. While
/Salt Lake county has probably gone for
Roosevelt by over 3000 plurality, it is a
question whether Cutler (Rep.) for gov-
ernor will have a third of that. In scVne
districts nearly every ticket voted was
scratched. The legislature undoubtedly
will be Republican, insuring a Republi-
can successor to United States Senator ’
Kearns.

The bears had an effective inning to-
day. Many operators had purchased heav-
ily expecting to sell after election when,
as they thought, the announcement of the
result of the election showing Roosevelt’s
election would greatly strengthen the
market. The expected strengthening did
not come on the morrow of the election,
hence heavy sales resulted, which brought
the market tumbling. Undoubtedly the
reason the election did not have the ex-
pected result was that no one ever doubted
Roosevelt’s election. ' April-May

HARDSHIPS AT PORT ARTHUR.
By Associated Press.
Che Foo, Nov. 0.—The Japanese continue
to bombard Port Arthur and the shells
are falling so incessantly that the Rus-
sians have - practically abandoned the re-
pair of the works, protecting the harbor.
Citizen volunters and the police are now
reinforcing the garrisons of the forts, ac-
cording tq stories of Chinese arriving here,
60 of whom left Port Arthur on Nov. 8
owing to the high price of food.
So many meh were killed on both sides
during the last assault that many bodies
lay unburied for days, and in some in-
stances dog's, which had been driven from
the town, assuaged their hunger by eat-
ing the dead. In a few cases where this
was seen, horror-stricken Russian sharp-
shooters killed the dogs.
Some months ago the Russian authorities
ordered that all dogs seen on the street
should be shot, with the.result that half
the famished creatures have been roaming
the hills, becoming savage.
The Chinese say that the forts on Gold-
en Hill have done practically no firing for
months past and it is believed their am-
munition has run short.
The demolition of tliQ Cipnesc new town
is almost completed, a thousand houses
having been destroyed for the valuable
firewood they contained.' ' ^.The town is
constantly catching fi^e Atfd^the majority
of the warehouses and stories belonging
to foreigners have been^fcurned to the

MARITIME .MATTERS
Today is the 63rd anniversary of the
birth of Albert Edwar<f, king of Great
Britain and emperor of India. The day
is being observed in Gafvesthn simply by
the hoisting of the flag iif Great Britain
over the British consuls office and by
the decoratiing of some ofrithedBritish ships
in the harbor.
In the old days in Galveston when the
British club was in its prime various man-
ners of celebration were in vogue and
much was made of the day. There are
but a, few subjects of his majesty, Ed-
yrard the Seventh, residents of Galveston
L as it is the busy time
of the year, even these few have no time
for celebrations of this nature. Instruc-
tions were issued to the-British consul to
hoist the flag over Iris riffice, but other-
wise everything is running in the same
manner as on other days. The decorating
of the ships in the harbor is done purely
at the will of the captains.
The only ships decorated today are the
Jamaican at Pier 10 and the Imani at
Pier 10. The latter is the so-called
“Coolieship,” being the one upon which
the crew is comnosed of Hindus.
The king’s 'birthday is celebrated at dif-
ferent times of the year in England and
in- the colonies. The celebration takes
place some time in the later part of May
or early in June in England while usually
the 9th of November is observed in the
colonies, this being the real birthday of
the king. In England a proclamation is
issued much in the same way that our
Thanksgiving day proclamation is setting
that day upon which the people shall cele-
brate in honor of the birth of the king.
This is done partly on account of the
birthday of the queen coming at that
time and partly at the will of the king.

LEGISLATURE IS REPUBLICAN.
By Associated Press.
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 9.—Complete
turns show that St. Louis has gone Re-
publican with the exception that she
rallied for Joseph W. Folk, Democratic
candidate for governor, with a plurality
of over 10,000.
Tho national ticket result in St. Louis
is close, but Roosevelt’s plurality is 2086,
the vote being Roosevelt, 55,056; Parker,
52,970. It seems probable the day will
draw to a close before complete returns
from the state are had.
Indications are the legislature will be
Republican by 2 or 3 votes on joint bal-
lot. The .legislature will elect a successor
to United States Senator F. M. .Cockrell.
The prosecution and weeding out of
boodlers is believed to have helped a
great part in floating the Republican
wave over Missouri,

CLAIM MISSOURI FOB. ROOSEVELT.
By Associated Press.
Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 9.—The Times
(Independent) today says: “W’th in-
creased Democratic losses in the country,
indications point more strongly to the
probability that Roosevelt and Fairbanks
.carried Missouri, and the plurality for
Joseph W. Folk (Democrat) for governor
over; Cyrus P. Walbridge (Republican)
will be something like 20,000. It also is
becoming more than a possibility that the
next legislature, which is to elect a suc-
cessor to Senator Francis M. Cockrell
has been the guest of honor at a banquet
given the members of the Merchants’
club at the Auditorium hotel. In his ad-
dress to the members of the club, Mr.
Morley said:
“England has saved herself by free
trade and I hope she will save the United
States by her example. My word to you
is to stick to the old lines.”
