RAILROAD AND OTHER LANDS ARE SEIZED ifeation of Reported ved by State Embanssien. TIEN TSIN, Via Shanghai, Nov. 8.—Gen- eral Livevitch, the commander of the Rus- sian troops, has ofiicially notified the forelgn consuls through the Hue consul that the Jand on the riverside opposite the British and German settlements has been annexed to Rus by right of conquest. Unless all forelgn owners of property immediately de- posit documents proving thelr ownership no claims will be enterialned. Much raliroad property, as well as the east arsenal, is In- oluded in the territory annexed by Russia. The consuls will protest agalnst the annexa jon. WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.--Count Cassinl, " ths Russian ambassador, said today in re- gard to the reported ADDEXALILL Ul (eITis | tory in Tien Tsin by the Russian govero- ment that he felt sure no such step had been taken. He touched upon the possi- bility of a Russian concession similar to the British and French allotments having been made, but dismissed the report that Russla had summarlly taken possession of the territory referred to as entirely im- probable. The British embassy is likewise without many report of such move on the part of the Ruselam authoritics a* Tien Tsin. KEEP SILENT ON DETAILS Progress of the Ministers at Pekin Has Not Yet Been Made Public. WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.-—Reports from Mr. Conger today record the progress of the eftorts belng made at Pekin to bring the forelgn mioisters into agreement as to the basis of uegotiations with China. The department still declines to make public any of the detalls of the dellberations of the ministers, and it appears that this reticence is a matter of international agree- ment, the purpose being to avold present- ing any of the differences that muy ariee from time to time to the notice of the Chi- lxu.:‘m ‘who wmight use them to sérve thelr own ends. Towever, the statement {s relterated that progress Is being made toward o satisfactory con- clusion, and 1t is hoped that within & short timo 1t will be possible to at least initiate the formal negotiations with Chinese pleni- potentiaries. | No advice has yet been recelved here confirming the report that Russia has an- nexed territory in Chih Li province, and tho impression prevalls that if tho Rus- slans have occupled any territory there it 1s stmply a military movement in prepara- tion for the maintenance of the Russian force at o suitable base on the road to Pekin for the approaching winter.

LONDON, Nov. 9.—The Daily Mall this morning makes the following announce- ment: “The postal departmental commission, which has been inquiring into the subject, will shortly report, after some months of dellberation, in favor of the earliest possible adoption of Marconi's system of wireless telegraphy by the postal authori- ties. “The commission is also arranging as to terms for the acquisition of the Marcon! patents and pegotiating with France and Germany regarding their attitude toward Marconi's inventions.

He will leave for Clucinnati tomorrow. Bishop Thoburn's district includes Philippine tslands and he frequently has been in Luzon and the outlying islands sluce the Amerlcan occupation. “The Tagalogs are really the only tribe of consequence that is opposing American wuthority in the islands,” sald Bishop Tho- burn tonlght. ‘““The American troops will bave a difficult time in putting down the Ingurrection, but as soon as the situation will permit of the beginning of rallroad building, the opening of mines and the tilling of farms the natives will cease tho warfare. Just as soon as the Americans give conclusive proof of thelr intention to rewaln the rebellion will be on its last legs. “I do mot wish to talk politics,” sald the bishop in response to a question, “but there is no doubt that the result of the election on Tuesday will have a wonderful effect on the situation In the islands. The Tagalos are among the most highly cul- tured races In the Orient and ali are anxious to learn English.

PETERSBURG, Nov. 8 St. Petersburg, the organ of the For- elgn office, discussed the United States elecs tion in & more friendly tone than any other Ruselan newspaper. 1t says “The American natlon thereby testifies its gratitude for the great aervices ren- dered the national cause. Mr. McKinley's sagecity and course in mot going beyond what the general interests of the country required is approved by public opinion, which explains why there is no fmportant defection among his 1598 supperters.” The Bourse Gazette, influenced by the finance ministry, doed mot anticipate “the adoption of thorough-going Imperialism as a result of the election.” It udds: “The election was predestined, since the com. mercial and industrial nation could not fn- trust its affairs to an extreme radical ke Bryan.” The Novoe Vremeyan savs: “McKinley adopted Bryan's views of foreign politics and sheered away from England and even Germany. Will he resume his old polloy? Momentarily Amerfca is arranged with France and Russia.” The Rossya says: “The result is not without interest to Russta, which has al- ways maintained good relations with Amer- ica, regardless of parties. A chunge in this respect set in with the Spanish war. America is imperialistic, which apparently means ‘what's mine {8 mine, and what's yours i« mine, ton' McKinley's imperial- ism fs essential to Mr. Chamberlain's perty. A close unfon hetween England and Germany 1s probable."” The Novost! says: “The concessions to the democrats befora the elections were not of great value. It is the victory of a great industry.” The reactionary Syjet expects closer re- lations between the United States and Great Britain, “which will give the latter preponderance in China dangerous to the intcrests of Europe and particularly of Russia.” The German St. Petersburg Zeltung says: “America continues to maintain the Mon. roe doctrine, while playing the role of a conqueror of other hemispheres. She will extend her colonies to nelghboring coun- tries.” Comment of German Papers. BERIAN, Nov. ‘s.—Some of the German papers continue their comments upon the sweeping reffublican victories in the United States. The Lokal Anzeger says: “It must not be assumed that President | McKinley feels very comfortable in his imperfal greatness. The pollcy of the Washington administration for some time has been hesitating, anxicus and far from clear. Its standard of action has been the avoldance of every risk and conse- quently the very reverse of plans of ad- venture.” The socialist Voerwaertz observes: “Considering Mr. McKinley's cautious at- titude in China it is hardly to be feared for the present that imperialism will under- take large new actfons in the intoxication of victory over the sanction given to it on Tuesday.” A section of the German press, having recently asserted that the Uniid Siates and Japan had abandoned (he 7 .gic-OUr- man policy fn China and begun fo gravi- tate toward Russia and France, the Ber- liner Neueste Nacherichsten prints & strong seml-official denlal, asserting that such statements ‘“rest on no fact what ever."

McKinley's galn in the clty from 9,243 in 1896 to 11,001 in 1900 far more than makes amends for Bryan's spurt in South Omaha, where the repub- licans scored a loss of about 300 over four years ago.

The Bee presents tabulated re turns from all but ten of the ninety coun- ties in the state. In the counties reportvd the republican electors have a plurality of s, The missing counties four years ago gave Bryan a plurality of 1,765 and if they give a corresponding verdict this year the republican plurality will be 6,7%4. There {s no reason to doubt that the falling oft iu the fusion vote in these counties will be as great as in tho ones reportéd. In this event the plurality will go above the 7,000 mark The Bee feels justified by the returns in claiming the election of Districh for gov ernor by at least 1,000 and the probabllities are the plurality will be nearer twide that figure. In the seventy-two counties re- ported he a plurality of 2,449, The missing counties two years ago gave Poyn- ter a plurality of only 1,589 and if they should vote the same this year it would still leave a plurality of $10 for Dietrich. The gains made elsewhere, taken in conhec- tion with the Incomplete returns from the missiug countles, warrant \ho bellef that this plurality will be materially addec to. Few available figures on the remander of the state ticket are at hand, but what have been received indicate little if any differ ence from the vote for governor. The leglslature will be republican by a safe working majority in both houses, in- suring the election of two republcan United States senators, although three or four districts are still in doubt, as shown Ly the revised rolls printed elsewhere. 1898, = Dakotn Dawson Dodge Doulas Dunay **Dixon Deuel .
