Proportional Representation Loses by Small Margin. With returna In covering fully to per t of the rote cast on the. bom rule liquor amendment to the constitution, the measure has a majority In the state of J335. The remaining returns will rut this majority down considerably and the amendment. If It has carried, ail have a small majority, possibly not more than 1009. The state at large, outside of Mult nomah County, has (riven a substantial vote against the amendment, but Mult nomah's majority for It of iOOO seems to have turned back the tide. Returns Sleagcr From Linn. From one of the strongest prohibition counties. Unn. very meager returns have been received on this measure. Unn voted the county dry under local option In the recent election this week by 571 majority. The county has polled. It Is believed, about S300 votes, and the reports received on a count of H17 votes give a majority against th amendment of SIS. These votes were cast largely In Albany city precincts, so the amendment may be expected to have received a much heavier majority against It than the early returna Indi cate on tbelr face. Returna are also larking from "Wheeler. Washington. Coos. Curry. Gil liam. Grant. Harney. I.ake. Lincoln. Sherman and Tillamook. It la re ported mat liullam has given a mail majority for homo role and It la probable that Coos. Curry. Harney, Lake, Lincoln and Tillamook have ap proved the amendment. Nothing definite la known concerning the vote In the other missing counties. The vote so far counted on the home rule bill Is: Tea. 35.491; no. 31.068. Monraoutb Bill Carries. On the face of Incomplete returna it Is Indicated that the bill providing for the maintenance of the Monmouth Nor Dial School has carried by a substantial majority but that the bills for the bene fit of the Ashland and Eastern Oregon schools have failed, although the un reported vote In Jackson and Josephine counties on this measure may tide the bill over with a small majority. Multnomah County gave a majority of 700 for the Monmouth school but apparently the voters of thla county be lieved that one normal school was suf ficient for they gave a majority of 127 against the Kastern Oregon school at Weston and J2S against the Ashland school. Ktcept In the counties close to the normal schools the vote has been generally agnlnst the bills providing money for the maintenance. - The vote of the three normal school bills so far as reported follow: Monmouth For Alns .... .;t..v lj.-ntr for UwlnB rr Aslnst Matortry asal Avblsntl r ASat . .10.124 ..13 soo Majority against S.V1S Ashland Has Chance Even Tel. The WeMon school vote Includes about one-third of the vote or Umatilla County, where Weston Is located, and the complete vote In that 'county will probably cut down the majority against by 1000. but other counties unreported are likely to offset part of Cmatllla'a vote. The figures on the Ashland School do not give the vote of Jackson County, where Ashland is located, snd Jackson County haa polled something like nvo votes, a great majority of which will be favorable to the bill. It therefore seems practically settled thst the Monmouth bill has carried, that the Weston bill Is defeated, and that the Ashland School has a fair Che nee of approval. Women Cannot Vote. Woman suffrage has been overwhelm ingly defeated throughout the state. In returns, complete and partial from U counties, not one has given a majority for the amendment. The vote reported from these counties, as totaled, gives 1.W4 for woman suffrage and JiJi? against, or a majority In opposition to the measure of ii.HH. At the same rallo the amendment In the total vote through out the state baa been defeated by about The employers' liability law. or the bill submitted by the labor organ last Ions, has carried by a large majority.

If the Jersey City men approve of the agreement the men will go back. If the Jersey men reject the agreement, the New York men will stay out.

AMERICAN EXPRESS BREAKS MONOPLY DAILY SERVICE BY WATER OF GREAT BESEFIT TO COAST. Steamers Yale and Harvard and Other Craft to Carry Express Matter From Los Angeles North. LOS ANGELES, Cal., Nov. 10. (Spe cial.) The American Express Company will soon establish dally service by steamship between San Francisco and Lbs Angeles, as the result of an im portant deal today. Under this arrangement, long pend lng, the large steamships Yale and Har vard, now coming around the Horn, will be operated between the two ports in conjunction with the Admiral Sampson, of the Alaska Steamshlpc Company, tbe two former making two round trips each week and the latter probably three. The Buckraan and Watson will be op erated between San Francisco and Se attle, and it is understood the Ameri can Express Company has arranged for service on these also. The arrange ment Is to become effective about De cember 10, and Is expected to put an other kink into the "Wells, Fargo & Company express monopoly on this coast. That company had so firm a grip that the American could get no overland transportation. The latter now has New York-Los Angeles schedule of 18 hours faster time than Wells-Fargo, via the Salt Lake route, and this fact will make the Importance of Its new steamship service apparent. Harry Goodall, one of the owners of the Yale, and H. S. Alexander, San Francisco, president of the Alaska Com pany, and Thomas McGovern, traffic manager, solved the problem. They left for the North today. STATE'S CREDIT WOT GOOD Washington Mnst Pay Cash Fees for Stewart's Extradition. VANCOUVER, B. C, Nov. 10.

LOSE SEAT Kentucky Democratic Delegation to Ask Congress to Act. LOUISVILLE, Nov. 10. Reports which were freely circulated today are that there Is a movement under way to have the nine Democratic Representa tives of the Kentucky delegation make a concerted effort to have Caleb Pow ers ousted from his seat as Representa tice of the 11th Kentucky district. " Congress, It is reported, will be asked to deny Powers his seat on the ground that he had thrice been convictefl of felony and has not been acquitted by a jury.

CONFERENCE FAILS TO AGREE Liberals to Renew Attack on Peers' Veto Power. ELECTION CLOSE AT HAND Lords Refuse to Concede Commona Control "of Revision Committee. New Parliament Slay Be Elected Before Clirlstmas. ' 1 LONDON. Nov. 10. The conference organized shortly after the death of King Edward in an endeavor to secure a settlement of the controversy over the veto powers of the House of Lords . controversy aggravated by the re fusal of the upper house to pass the budget has been dissolved without reaching an agreement. Announcement of. the failure to find a solution for the dispute that has kept politics in a turmoil for more than a year was made by Premier Asqulth to night, after a meeting of the cabinet, which followed the earlier gathering of the conference. The statement does not disclose the cause of the disagreement. It simply says: "The conference which has been sit ting to consider . a constitutional amendment has come to an end with out arriving at an agreement." Commons Demand Control. The statement adds that the mem bers of the conference had decided not to disclose the course of the negotia tions or the causes that led to their termination. It is understood, however, that the rock on which the conference spilt was the composition of the joint committee of both houses that should adjust dif ferences arising In the future. Tbe Lib erals insisted that the proportion of peers on this committee be such that the will of the House of Commons will have a fair chance of prevailing. The Conservatives could not agree to this proposal and their alternative proved unacceptable to. the Liberals. Walter Hume Long announced -to night on the authority of Mr. Balfour, leader of the opposition, that neither home rule. Imperial federation nor rev olution formed any part of the discus sion. He confirmed previous reports that the conference had confined Itself to constitutional questions. Fight to Be Renewed. The political situation now reverts to the status before the truce. The con ference secured a respite In the con troversy over the most acute Issue of the day during the period of national mourning, which gives hope that some' means will be found to avoid political complications until after the corona tion. How this is to be accomplished Is a matter of conjecture, and politicians are preparing to resume the fight. Ad vanced Liberals, long tired of inactiv ity, are urging the government to press forward the original proposals limiting the power of the House of Lords by Im mediately Introducing in the upper house the resolutions adopted in the House of Commons last April. These the House of Lords would re ject and. in the crisis then arising, Mr. Asqulth Is pledged to advise the use of the royal prerogative for the appoint ment of a sufficient number of peers to insure Wie passage of a raeasure making the will of, the commons su- , preme. .. Election May Be Before Christmas. If this course were followed, prob ably there would be a general election In January or soon after. The opinion prevails tonight, however, that the gov ernment will force an Immediate dis solution and get elections . over before Christmas. The result of the recent bye-elections encouraged the Liberals to make an Immediate appeal to ' the peers. Be sides, they are thoroughly organized and In a far better position for a con test than they were last January. SOUTHERN STATES GROW Census Shows Increase in iiotn Alabama and Florida.
