Rep. Murdock Explains How
Party Came to Make
Poor Showing
PROGRESSIVE CAUSE
BY NO MEANS DEAD
Spark of Today Will Be
the Conflagration of
Tomorrow, He Says
Wichita, Kas., Nov. 6.-Declaring
that the progressive elements in Amer
ican politics were divided by the elec
tion on Tuesday, Representative Vic
tor Murdock, progressive leader in the
house, and defeated candidate for
Unite States senator, says the next
step of political evolution will be the
disrupting of the solid south and a
new alignment that will bring progres
sives of all parties together.
"The progressive party, which so
many have declared to be dead," he
added, "was never so much alive as
today, for it is the nucleus around
which the new forces gather. The
spark of today will be the conflagra
tion of tomorrow. Of course, the re
actionary forces in the lower end of
Manhattan Island are expecting a else
congress to serve as a warning to
President Wilson and to stay his hand.
I hope they will not be able to halt Mr.
Wilson and I don't believe they will."
RESPITE FOR FLAGG.
New York, Nov. 6.--Jared Flagg,

FOOT AND MOUTH SCOURGE SPREADS
INTODMSSACHSETIS AND OVER IOWA
CHICAGO YARDS CLOSE AND 'INDUSTRY THERE
IS SHIFTED TO OTHER CENTERS-SUPPLY OF
, MILK IS NOT NECESSARILY AFFECTED
Washington, Nov. 6. - Further
spread of the livestock foot and
mouth disease has caused the exten
sion of federal quarantine to Massa
chusetts and Iowa.
Cattle, sheep and hogs cannot now
be moved out of Michigan, Indiana,
Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Mary
land, New York, Massachusetts or
Iowa.
In addition to the states already
quarantined a suspected case exists
at Como, Miss.
Chicago Yards Closed.
Chicago, Nov. 6.-A large part of
the cattle and meat packing industry
of the country, long centered in Chi
cago, fonight temporarily was shifted
to Kansas City, Omaha, St. Joseph,
Mo., and other western cities, and the
Chicago Union Stockyards for the
first 'time since its organization in
1865, was closed for nine days on ac
count of the foot and mouth disease
among the * cattle. The quarantine
against the stockyards and all other
cattle pens within the state went into
effect at midnight. The state's ac
tion supplements the federal quaran
titne against Illinois.
Employes Transferred.
The packers sent tonight to Kansas
City and their other western branches
1,000 killers and butchers to kill and
dress the animals, which ordinarily
would have been sent to Chicago.
They announced that the products
from their western plants would be
sufficient to supply the market with
out any change in prices.
An optimistic view of the situation
was taken here.
The herd of 600 infected cattle
originally found was augmented by
the discovery of 216 more cattle and
60C hogs which had been affected.
No Sheep Affected.
No sheep so far have been affected.
The collection of 800 prize cattle
brought here for last week's dairy
show from 28 states and Canada, still
iq held in quarantine. Eighteen of
the herd have been infected. The

at several million dollars.
As to Milk.
Regarding the milk supply, Dr. O.
E. Dyson, state veterinarian, said:
"The milk supply to the large cities

The ordinary precautions taken by
municipal authorities will prevent

RUSSIA REPORTS, MPORTANT WCTORY-LITTUS
CHANGE IN SITUATION IN VWT--GREECE
ANNEXES EPIRUS-I-U GARIA'S PART
London, Nov. 6.-The Russians re
port that, having driven the Germans
back to their border in the north and
forced their center to retire from the
Vistula to the Warthe river, the Rus-'
sian general staff has turned its at
tention to the Austrians, who have
been stubbornly holding their positions
along the San river in Galicia.
According to a telegram reCeived
from Grand Duke Nicholas, the Rus
sians have won a victory more import
ant than any preecding it. The Rus
sians say they have again occupied
Jaroslau, north of Przemysl, capturing
5,000 prisoners and much war material,
It is believed here, however, that there
will have to be another big battle on
the Warthe before the armies of Em
peror Nicholas seriously threaten Sile
sia.
Little Change in West.
In the struggle between the Germans
and the allies in the west, there has
again been little change. The Ger
mans, twice balked in their attempt to
reach the French coast, are preparing
for another attack, which, like the
last, is directed at the line lield by the
British on both sides of the town of
Ypres, where for a fortnight some of
the most sanguinary fighting of the
war has been in progress, and where
the casualties on both sides, perhaps,
have been larger than those on such
a restricted front in any previous bat
tle.
A Berlin official report claims that
the Germans have made progress here,
but this is in direct contradiction to
the claims of the allies, who say that
they pre holding all their positions and
have made some advances.
Reports come from the Dutch that

STATEMENT ON
NAVAL FIGHT
ISAY MONMOUTH RAN ASHORE
GLASGOW HAD BEEN IN
PREVIOUS BATTLE
London, Nov. 7.-A dispatch to the
Central News from Lima, Peru, says
that the British cruiser Glasgow,
which was in the naval battle with
the Germans off Coronel., Chile, last
Sunday, has arrived: t Puerto' Mentt,
Chile.
London, Nov. 6.-It is officially an
nounced by the admiralty that the
British cruiser Good Hope took fire
during the engagement with the Ger
mans off the coast of Chile last Sun
day, and foundered.
The admiralty statement says it is
believed that the British cruiser Mon
mouth, which the Germans reported
has been sunk, was run ashore. The
cruiser ('anopus, it adds, was not pres
ent at the time of the fight.
A Previous Battle.
"Santiago, Chile, Nov. 6.-The Brit

gagemetit with a German warship or
warships, prior to the fight last Sun
day evening off Coronel, in which the
British cruisers Monmouth and Good
Hope were lost and the Glasgow and
the Otranto are reported to have been
badly damaged, according to messages
received here from Coronel.
These advices are that the Glasgow
entered Coronel last Saturday and took
on coal and made repairs of injuries
caused by shells. One of her four
smokestacks was destroyed, there was
a big hole in one of her sides, and her
bulwarks were smashed, according to
the report. The cruiser left Coronel
the day following her arrival, Sunday.
NEALY HALF MILLION PRISONERS AH HELD
IN GRMAN CAMPS, SAYS A I N REPORT
London, Nov. 6.-A dispatch from
Amsterdam says advices from Berlih
read that up to last Sunday, the Ger
man concentration camps and hospi
tals held the following prisoners:
i~ach, 3,138 officers and 188,618 men;
the Germans are making preparations
for retirement, but military observers
here say that from the fact that rein
forcements are being brought up, it is
certain'they have not yet despaired of
breaking through the allies' front and
reaching either ('alais or Boulogne.
Skirmishes.
Elsewhere along the great front,
there has been a repetition of isolated
encounters, which, in the French offi
cial communical ion, are referred to as
minor affairs, but which in ordinary
wars, would be considered fair-sized
battles.
The British fleet, according to unof
ficial accounts, again has taken action
along the Belgian coast and has been
bombarding Knocke and Zeebrugge,
where the Germans are supposed to be
organizing bases for their submarines.
Except for the Russian announce
ment of their invasion of Turkish ter
ritory from the ('aucasus, silence pre
vails as to the operations in the near
east.
Greece Annexes Epirus.
For the prpscnt interest is centered
in the possibilities of the Balkan states
becoming involved in the war. Greece,
it is said, has annexed Epirus, which
she was denied by the London confer
ence after the first Balkan war.
It is also said on good authority that
negotiations are proceeding for an ar
rangement by which Bulgaria will re
ceive Macedonia, which is largely Bul
garian, if she will consent to give her
active support to the allies' cause.
Servia, who won Macedonia by the
sword, hesitates, it is said, to give it
up; but it is thought here she can
hardly turn a deaf car to Russia, who
entered upon the war on her account.
Further, it is said, she would receive
compensation in Bosnia, through which
she would get a route to the sea.

CONTESTED
People's Power League to
Go Into Court Over
Compensation
PARTIAL RETURNS ON
INITIATIVES YET
Suffrage Ias Carried But
Some Other Measures
May Be Lost
Butte, Nov. 6.-(Special.)-:Miles
Romney, president of the People's
Power league of Montana, tonight in
timated there had been fraud in con
nection with the returns from Deer
Lodge county on the workingmen's
compensation vote, and he stated that
the league immediately would take le
gal steps to secure a recount of the
votes cast in that county. It is prob
able that the proceedings also will
seek a recount of the compensation
vote in Broadwater county, which has
reported a majority against the meas
ure of 270. Mr. Romney said:
Looks Queer.
"It is preposterous that a laboring
community like Anaconda, where the
voters practically all are laboring men,
should vote three to one against work
nmen's compensation, and if it is as
appears tonight on the face of the of
ficial returns from Deer Lodge county
that any such vote has been returned,
we will institute without delay legal
proceedings to secure a recount. We
are satisfied that if there is such It
thing as justice in Montana, we will
show that there is something radically
wrong with the count of ballots in
Deer Lodge county.
Compensation Carried.
"We will leave western Montana and
cross the range with a majority for
compensation of at least 6,000, and our
advlces lead us to the conclusion that
compensation has carried by not less
than 3,500, this estimate assuming
that both Gallatin by 700, and Madison
have gone against compensation."
Mr. Romney said that compensation
had carried Missoula county by 1,500,
Ravalli by 700; that Flathead, Lin
coln and Sanders and Mineral coun
ties combined had given a majority for
the measure of not less than 1,000, and
that it was a standoff between Gran

GERMANII FORTS SURRENDERED
TSING TAU NOW MIKADO'S
HEROIC LITTLE GARRISON HELD OUT FOR THREE
MONTHS AND INFLICTED HEAVY LOSSES
ON THE ALLIED BRITISH AND JAPS
Tokio, Nov. 7.-It is officially an
nounced that .the German fortress of
Tseng Tau has surrendered to the
Japanese and British fdrces.
At midnight infantry charged and
occupied the middle fort of the line of
defense. In this operation they took
200 prisoners. Surrender soon fol
lowed.
The fall of Tsing Tau ends the most
picturesque phases of the war. TIn the
little Gbrman concession, on the south
side of the Shan Tung peninsula of
China, there has been going on since
late in August a reduced scale of war
that from all accounts has duplicated
nearly all the features of those hat
tles in Europe that have resulted in
the captlure of fortified positions.
The capture of Tsing Taol loses to
Germany her last foot of possessions
on the Asiatic mainland, as well as her
last strategic position outside of the
GOcrman empire In Europe.

doing business in China, has held out
against the land and sea attacks of
the Japanese and of certain British de
tachments of both white and Indian
troops that found themselves in China
at the outhreak of the war. What the
losses of the garrison have been are
not known, hut the official Japanese

that Tsing Tau has hbeen taken at

It was on August 15 that Japan
