3r- BATTLE IS WOH BY *c.«M a ^fik,L rftrV ^^1 t* 1 Presidential Ticket Elected by a Ma jority of 210 Electoral Votes Boosevelt Will Not Again Be a Candidate—The Returns. Late returns have reduced Roosevelt's "plurality in Maryland to the narrow fig- ure of 126 and it will take the official count to determine whether that state will be placed in the republican or dem ocratic, column. There is also a possl bility that the state's electoral vote will be divided. Pennsylvania the Banner State. The banner state is Pennsylvania. Twenty-four hours after the polls closed ,the returns from this indicated that Roosevelt's plurality would reach 485, 000. Next came Illinois, where the president polled approximately 225,000 more votes than did Judge Parker. Ohio gave Roosevelt 200,000, and New York 174,000. The New York city returns are still incomplete, but the amazement over the result has not subsided. Judge Parker carried Greater New York by nearly 41,000 votes. In general, the situation is chiefly in teresting because of the fact that the tickets in many of the states were cut. President Roosevelt ran ahead of his CHARLES W. FAIRBANKS. iiVice President-Elect of the United States. -^ticket in many localities, notably in Massachusetts^ where he secured a plu s^^rality of, 86,000 votes, while.the repub 3||lican candidate for governor was de •twfeated by 35,000. In that state the legis lature is republican and the entire re publican ticket, with the exception of governor, was elected. In Missouri cir cumstances are similar. In Nebrasftt the definite announcement that the leg islature is republican disposes 6f the statement that William J. Bryan had aspirations for a United States sena torship. In that state, too, thegovern orship is in doubt, and it will require of cial returns to determine who is elected. Both s'ides claim a victory. The Electoral Vote.

Charles S. Deneen, for governor, and the rest of the republi can state ticket, will have approximately the same plurality as the national ticket. Along with the great plurality for the republican national and state tickets 23 republicans were elected to congress out of 25 members to which the state is en titled. Only two democrats—H. T. Rainey, in the Twentieth, and M. D. Foster in the Twenty-third district are saved to the party out of the wreck. Michigan. Detroit," Mich., Nov. 10.—President Roosevelt carried every county in Michi gan and he has the wonderful plurality of 150,000, while Warner for governor re ceived only 55,154 over Ferris, democrat. One of the notable features of the elec tion is that the republicans seem to have secured every member of both houses of the legislature. Wisconsin. Milwaukee, Nov. 10.—The result of the election in Wisconsin shows that Roosevelt ran ahead of every ticket and carried the state byr a plurality esti mated at between 60,000 and 75,000 that Gov.

Baltimore, Md., Nov. 11.—The official returns received here up to a late hour indicate that the vote for the presiden tial candidates last Tuesday was very close—possibly 100 on either side. It is probable that Secretary of State Oswald Tilghman will be called upon to decide which of the electors will be entitled to cast their votes in Washington. Returns received from 11 counties o( the state give the republican electors a plurality of 174. From the official returns thus far received the indications are that the republicans have elected seven and the democrats one of the electors of the state. Missouri.

Says He Will .v, 10.—Judge Parker has given to the press an open letter, addressed "To the Democracy of the Nation," in which be thanks those in charge of his campaign work, and .de clares that the people will soon realize that "The tariff-fed trusts are absorb ing the wealth of the nation." He said1 that when that time comes the people will turn to the democratic party for re lief. In this letter Judge Parker says he shall never seek a nomination for public office. He 'scusses the difficul ties encountered by the democrats in making their camppign this year, a^d makes suggestions regarding harmony in the party. In conclusion, the jtfdgq says that in the presence of defeat he does not hesitate to say that in his opin ion the great moral question that con fronts the democrats is "shall the trusts and corporations be prevented from contributing money to control or to aid in controlling elections?" Judge Parker said that his plans for the future were not definitely made, but that soon he would be in .harness again. It is generally, believed here that he will engage in tfte. practice of law in New York, forming a partership with some wiell established firm. Scalded to Death.

VIENNA STUDENTS IN A RIOT Several Persons Injured in Fierce Con flict Arising from Recgpt Trouble the University. Vienna, Nov. 14.—-Many heads were broken in a fierce conflict between Ger man and Italian students at the uni versity Saturday, the fight arising from the recent troubles at Innsbruck. The Germans took the aggressive. They started singing the "Wacht am Rhine" with uncovered heads and demanded that all the 'other students remove their hats. The Italians, Slavs and other non Germans refused to do so, whereupon the Teutons forcibly knocked off their opponents' headgear and trainpled their hats and caps in the dust. The Italians then started^ a counter demohstration on the university steps and sang the national hymn,of Italy. The Germans then attacked the Italians and drove them from their position. Sticks and umbrellas were freely used and many heads were cracked, but no ar rests were made, as the fighting was con fined to the university precincts. Joe Walcott Acquitted.

The move to have congress make provision at its next session for a large annual appropriation to be devoted to the purchase and equipment of indoor and outdoor ranges and the distribu tion of ammunition to organizations of riflemen, in accordance with the plan drafted by the national board for the promotion of ripe practice, is respon sible for renewed interest in rifle end revolved shooting. «3S$ More attention is being' paid:: to shooting1 at unknown distances, say a Washington report, and to get into the front rank of shooter^, skill ih es timating distances is esswitial. It is said that few, even of the best shots, axe good judges of distances. Recent tests have shown how little the aver age. person .knows of the various shoot ing distances. Do you lmow-r-' That at 30 yards the white of a man's eye is plainly seen and the eyes them selves are visible up to 80 yards? That at 100 yards all parts of the body are seen distinctly, slight move ments are perceptible, and the minute details of the uniform can be distin guished? That at 200 yards the outline7 of the face is confused and the rows of but tons look like stripes? That at 400 yards the face is a mere dot, but all movements of the legs and arms are still distinct? That at 600 yards details can no longer be distinguished, though files of a squad, if the light is strong, can be counted? That at 800 yards the men in a squad cannot be counted nor their individual movements distinguished? At 1,000 yards a line of men resem bles a broad belt the direction of their march can, however, be readily deter mined. At 1,200 yards cavalry can be distinguished from infantry, and at 2,000 yards a mounted man usually ap pears as a mere speck. Yet in these days of long-range weapons battles are fought at a disi tance of 1,000 yards, and it is desirable for marksmen to qualify at that range, The new rifle, with which United States troops are to be equipped, has a maximum effective fighting range of 4,781 yards, or more than two and one half miles. In other words, a bullet from this rifle will kill or disable at a greater distance than the man firing it can distinguish an individual enemy from the surrounding landscape.' VALE POLITICAL PARADES. Modern Campaigns Are Conducted Up on a More Business-Like Plan. Enthusiasts who try to help, "save the country" by marching the sjtreeta are not very conspicuous in this pres idential canvass, says Youth's Compan ion. Impromptu processions, to wel come a candidate or to celebrate a vic tory, are common, as they always were and always will be but the campaign clubs that used to put on gorgeous uni forms, light torches and tramp the streets every night are comparatively few in number. The fathers have told us how5 "Tip pecanoe and Tyjer, too" was shouted and sung to victory. Processions played a large part in the spectacular campaign of 1840. Enthusiasm seemed to crystallize info votes, and so quad rennially, for half a century after, pol iticians tried to revise that type of en thusiasm by the methods that aroused it then. But managers of recent campaigns have regarded the procession as a can vassing measure of doubtful eflBcacy, as it'- is certainly proved econbmically wasteful. It may provoke into activity many an indifferent citizen who might have forgotten that he was a voter, much less a partisan, but for the ex plicit reminder that the opposite party is busy and although the uniformed campaign club may hold a few votes, it probably makes not many. There Is another side to the question. Undoubtedly young men were attracted to the party of Fremont and Lincoln in 1856 and I860, by the enthusiasm of the other young men who marched and sang their way through those cam paigns. Possibly if a political issue that strongly appealed to the public conscience were to arise, the success might be repeated. But when—as in some recent campaigns—the clubs con sist chiefly of boys, and have to be paid at that, the case is different. At all events, "headquarters" has ex tinguished the torches. Mr. Hanna be gan to put them out eight yearo ago. He spent more money for oratory and literature than for brass bands and fireworks, and his success established a fashion in politics which will proba bly outlast this generation, at least. Undoubtedly' the old-style campaign was the more picturesque, but the mod ern one is the more businesslike. Burmese Golden Temple.
