RUSSIAN MINISTER RENEWS HIS DEMANDS No Assurance Given that Mukden Will Be Evacuated After Oficials Have Been Punished According to Recuest.\ PEKING, Nov. 6—Yuen Shi Kay, viceroy ©of Ghi 14 province, who, as cabled to the Assoclated Pross yesterday, was dispatched to Mukden by the dowager empress with inetructions to Investigate affairs there mad it possible to arrange & settlement with the Russians, did not go any further than Tien Twin, which he reached yesterday evening. It is now considered doubtful whether he will go to Mukden at all. The Chinese are more enraged at the Russlan proceedings at Mukden than they have been by any events since the capture of Peking. Some of the hot-headed mem- bers of the councll have advised thp dow- ager empress to declare war on Russia and #end troops to release the tartd#® general, Whose detention st Mukden, growing out of the decapitation of a Chinese bandit ‘Who had eulisted in the Russian service, but who fell futo the hands of the Chinese after the Russians had evacuated Mukden, wounds Chinese susceptibllities since it is considersd to be not only an insult to a high officfal but an insult to the Chinese government {tself.

PEKING, Nov. 5.—Paul Lessar, the Rus- stan minister to China, has repeated the demands of Russia for the execution of O’Irl!. to Resign Seat in Parliament Because of has decided to resign his seat fent and as a member of the gov- body of the United Irish league. letter to Father O'Flynn, president e Cork branch of the United Irish e, announcing his decision, Mr. O'Brien complains that efforts are being made in many quarters to “thwart the pol- icy recommended by the national directory for the purpose of extracting the largest possible benefit for the Irish tenantry un- der the new land act.” He says in this connection that he himself has been pur- sued by many interests “with a ferocity and a hatred beyond that incurred by any Irishman of this generation.” ‘When he finds that the policy which the Irish party, the national directory, the national convention and the representative boards of the country have approved Is covered with opprobrium and derision by & newspaper which is the only source of in- formation for half of Ireland, and when he finds that this counter policy is shared by public men, Including his own col- leagues of the Irish party, the limit of en- durance has been reached and after apxious delfberations he is determined to resign without delay from Parllament and from the governing body of the United Irish league and to leave the state to whatever alternative policy the assallants are pre- pared to lay before the country. Mr. O'Brien adds that as his continued editor- ship of the Irish People would Inevitably lead to a continuance of the public con- troversy which had better be ended he is determined to cease the publication of that paper after this week's lssue. Mr. O'Brien’s reslgnation appears to have been forced by Thomas Sexton, Who con- trols the Freeman's Journal, and by Michael Davitt, whose letter to the paper October 4 indignantly denounced John Redmond for the terms under which the Irish Parllamentary leader sold his W ford estate under the new land act. “Mr. Redmond's action,” wrote Mr. Davitt, “turns the whole land act into a farce.” Other members of the nationalist party, including John Dillon, have been almost in open revolt against the land act and Mr. Redmond, whom they regard as too moderate. Owing to the powerful co-op- gration of Mr. O'Brien, Mr. Redmond has been able to retain the leadership of the party, but with Mr. O'Brien’s resignation there is every probability of a far-reach- ing split in the nationalist ranks. Mr. O'Brien has long been in poor health and it required an effort to emable him to make & public appearance op attend Par- ltament, BRAZILIANS IN A BATTLE Serfous Combat Occurs o tler with OCltisens Urngany. the From- of — NEW YORK, Nov. b—A serious combat | ‘has taken place on the Brazilian frontier between the Uruguayans and Brazilians, says a Herald dispatch from Montevideo, who ordered the killing of the bandit, giv- Mg as an alternative the selzsure of Mukden within five days.

PLEDGE OF GENERAL PEACE Meeting Between Osar and Emperor is So Regarded in High Cfreles. 8T. PETERSBURG, Nov. §.—The meet- ing of the czar and Emperor Willlam at Wiesbaden yesterday is commented on by the newspapers here as being a fresh plelge of the preservation of ral peace. The Novostl's remarks attract speclal at- tention, as they reiterate the suggestion of an Anglo-Russian rapproaciment which has been recently mooted by some Russian publicists. The Novost! contests the idea that Russia and Great Britain must re- main rivals and says the clearest proof of this is found fn Britain's absolutely peace- ful poliey and the influence it has exer- clsed on Japan in the present Russlan-Jap- anese differences. The paper sees no reason why a frequent exchange of views, giving more intimate knowledge of each other, should not lead to a similar entente as effected between QGreat Britain and France.

In the Chamber of Deputies the debate the budget wae made the occasion for a vote on the suppression of crucifizes and other religious emblems. les Gas in London Hotel, LONDON, Nov. 5.—~Willlam McCollough of New York committed suicide at a board- ing house in Bloomsbury, a suburb of this city, last night by inbaling gas.

SHIP BUILDING CASE IS ON Lewis Nizon Stand Wil Be Followed by Charles M. Sehwal NEW YORK, Nov. 5.—The feature of to- day's session of the hearing In the United States shipbullding cases were the bitter attacks made by Lewis Nixon upon Wil- liam D.

JEFFERSON CITY,! Mo, Nov. 5.~Ex. Licutenant Governor Les resumed the stand today In the trial of State Senator Frank Farris, charged with boodling, and told of recelving a $1,00 check from Havemeyer, the sugar magnate, In 1902, “Did you ask Kelley (the baking powder lobbyist) to see Havemeyer and ask him to contribute to your campaign fund?’ was asked of Mr. Lee “I think I did.’ “Wasn't the $1,000 from the Sugar trust a contribution to your sampaign fund?” *“It was not.” Mr. Lee, In answer to a question, sald: “The session of congress prior to July, 1902, was legislating regarding the duty on raw sugar. I was running & grocers' paper. I was endeavoring to get advertising for my paper. 1 wrote letters to congressmen and others, getting thelr opinions on the reduction of 2 centa a pound on the duty on raw sugar. I put théir setters in pam- phiet form and distributed them. The $1,00{ check from Mr. Havemeyer was in payment for this work.” Later Senator Farrls assumed the stand in his own defense.

Kelley and did not know that any such man’ existed.” “Did you ever tell Lee that the boys wanted something tangible? “1 did not.” Did Mr. Lee bring to you $7,00, or any other sum, and give it to you?" “He did not. I recelved no money from him. “Did John A. Les pay you any money whatever for your vote or fnfluence in the legislature?” “He did not.” Senator Farris dented that he had ever met Kelley or that Mr. Lee had showed him a telegram from Kelley regarding the alum bill.

Mr, Gureg- hian expressed well known worker i tie old Huntachakist movement, a graduste of Leipsic, univer- sity and a man whose loss wuold be sreatly felt In the circle of those who seek to free Armenia. Mr. Kureghian said, assassination: There will be more yet. They will never rest until they have removed the 0ld Huntachakist party.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Nov. Bb—United States Marshal F. A. Hadsel has received orders from Washington today to proceed at once to Dougls= zad take the necessary steps to prevent the Sloux prisoners from meeting with summaary vengeance at the hands of a hostile mob.

NOTHING TO CHANGE PREVIOUS ESTIMATE Barnes Will Have from 9,000 to 10,000 Plurality and Republicans Get Most of the District Judges. Complete returns from Tuesday's election have been recelved from seventy-one of the ninety counties in the state. These cbun- ties this year cast 168,97 votes for the leading candidates for suprelme judge and the counties yet to report have not, in all probability cast to exceed 40,000 votes. In these seventy-one counties Barnes, rep., for supreme judge, has a plurality of 8,029 over Sullivan, fus. These same counties two years ago gave the republican candidate for supreme judge a plurality of 10,944, the remaining counties giving Sedgwlck, rep., 197 plurality. Should the ratio be main- talned Barnes' plurality would be over 9,000. As the rural counties, which are the ones yet to report, have shown a smaller percentage of loss and in many instances & guin over two years ago, it Is probable that Barnes' plurality will be between 9,600 and 10,000, Returns on regent have not been tabu- lated, but even a casual examination of them shows that the regents will have a larger plurality than the head of the ticket. In the contest for dlstrict judges the fusionists have not fared well, they hav- ing elected only seven out of the twenty- five in the state, according to their own estimates, and several of these are much in doubt, the returns being incomplete.
