NO RUSSIAN LOAN. A General Dcnlnl by the Secretary of the Washington Embassy. WASHINGTON, Nov. 9 M. Routkow ekl, secretary of the Russian embassy, has returned from St. Petersburg- where he had an opportunity to confer with the Russian Minister of Finance. M. De Wltte, and to learn from the Imperial au thorities the exceptionally satisfactory condition of Russian finances. On his re turn, Mr Routsowsky was somewhat sur prised to see It reported that Russia was eeklng to place loans in the United States and advised the most responsible Ameri can financiers In New York that such in vestment was not contemnlnted Th m. mors continued to circulate, however, sol Mr. Routkowsky gives the Associated Press the following official communlca t'on. which he recently received from the Imperial Minister of Finance of Rus- la: In view of the rumors whioh begin to circulate again in the foreign press about the suggested negotiations by the Im perial Russian Government of a loan, the Ministry of Finance considers It necessary to declare once more that the Imperial Russian Government Is neither contem plating nor disposed to negotiate loans of any kind, the ordinary revenues and tha free cash reserve of the Treasury being more than sufficient to meet all expenses, not only ordinary but also extraordinary, necessitated by the events in the far East." Mr. Routkowsky was asked as to the report from New York that Russia would place orders amounting to J30.000.000 for four new battleships to be built in Amerl- I can ship yards, and he replied: The Russian Government does not contemplate any further additions to her armament."

A flat increase of 1 cent a pound was put on beef, pork and mutton today by Chicago packers. The Chronicle tomorrow will say: In one year the additional lcent will yield to the Chicago packers, basing the estimate upon last year's business, the following urns: Dressed beef 415,000,000 Dressed pork and pork products.. 20,000,000 Mutton 4,000.000 Total addition to incomes. 09.000,000 Retailers of meats were thrown Into a panic by the unexpected rise In prices. Many who Had carcasses In their coolers declined to buy until they could figure out what they would need at the new rate. In the adjustment of prices to the con sumers choice cuts of beef have gone up as much as E cents. Pork tenderloin jumped to the same extent, and mutton chops went up 3 cents. The advance by the packers is more than 10 per cent on the price of meat the day before elec tion. The advance by the retailer to the consumer will average 25 per cent, for the waste in a carcass doubles the Increased cots of the salable portion. The packers claim they have been selling dross ed meat at a loss for several years. Bryan's Plans. LINCOLN. Neb., Nov. 8. Mr. Bryan Is In receipt of many requests for a state ment of his future plans and his attitude on public questions, in view of Tuesday's result. He intimated today he would, be fore long, enlighten the public fully, but lor the present he has private matters which demand his attention. Mr. Bryan said today that he might not accompany Colonel Wetmore, of St. Louis, on his hunting trip in the Ozark Mountains. His health Is good and he does not feel the need of such a trip. He said he had been from Llnooln so much recently that he found his own homo afforded him the best opportunity for rest. Blarcua Daly Improving1 NEW YORK. Nov. 9. Marcus Daly, of Montana, who Is ill at the Hotel Nethefr lands, was reported much better today. He Is said to he stronger than for some days past. 9 " , FRAUDS IN KENTUCKY Democrats Counted Out Mc Kin ley and Yerkes. STATEMENT BY CHAIRMAN COOMBS As the Returns Stand, Bryan's Ma jority Is Pat at 7685, and Beolc hom's at 4X10. LOUISVILLE, Nov. 9. With unofficial returns from every precinct In Kentucky, the Courier-Journal puts Bryan's major ity at 7635 and Beckham's at 4110. The county boards canvassed the returns In every county in the state today, and 0 counties out of 114 In the state, whoso official returns have been received to night, do not materially change the ma jorities of the foregoing. While ther Is no doubt that the facial returns will vary somewhat with the unofficial. It Is hardly possible that the majorities of 7635 and 4110 shall be wiped out unless the un expected happens in the counties where the unofficial returns are not In. Leslie Coombs, chairman of the Repub lican campaign committee, tonight made the following statement concerning the Kentucky election: "We have discovered great frauds per petrated by the Democrats in various sec tions of the state. In Breathitt County, frauds amounting to 400 votes In favor of the Democrats have been discovered. In that county, the Democrats refused to allow the Republican Inspectors Inside of the booth, and the precinct, which usually goes Republican by a majority of 58, was carried by the Democrats by 30. In another precinct in the same coun ty, the Republican challengers were put out of the booth by force, and the in spectors were refused admittance. In an other precinct, the returns showed that only 65 Republicans voted, yet there are 140 who give their names and are willing to give affidavits that they voted the Re publican ticket straight. The Republicans usually curry that precinct, and this year it went Democratic by 150. Other frauds In Breathitt County Indicate that we have lost over 400 votes. "Numerous and flagrant frauds have been discovered in Logan County frauds that permeated the entire vote. In Olm stead precinct, the returns show that only 80 Republicans voted, yet we have posi tive proof that 150 was the number, and other frauds In the county will amount to fully 400 votes. The entire Third District is permeated with the Goebel methods. Republican voters who were challenged were not allowed to make affidavit, and were relieved by direction of the Demo cratic Sheriffs. Democrats challenged by the Republicans were allowed to vote without making affidavit by the decisions of these same Sheriffs. In one precinct In the City of Bowling Green, the election officers refused to certify to 179 votes be cause there was a blur on the ballots. Mr. Moss will contest his election in his district end there is no doubt that it will be given to him. "The frauds in the Third District were too -flagrant to stand an honest investi gation, and in many places In th& Eighth District Democratic challengers were sworn in as Deputy Sheriffs and wore badges in the booths. In the Seventh District, over 400 Republican voters In the City of Lexington were deprived of their votes by the delay tactics practiced by the Democratic officers, while the Franklin and Owen County returns were padded so boldly that it cannot escape the notice of any one acquainted with those counties. "There are also extensive reports of frauds In Lawrence, Rowan and Mason Counties, of the Ninth District, with great efforts to Increase those frauds in the final count. The Commissioner of Lawrence County attempted to throw out the vote of the precinct of Charley on a trivial technicality. It gave the Repub lican candidate 127 majority. In a num ber of counties, the Commissioners re fused to allow any inspection of the work of election officers by representatives of the Republican party. Reports of fraua of five to 10 votes to a precinct are ss numerous that the inference cannot be escaped that it was systematically planned beforehand. There Is no ques tion that if the face of the returns fails to show Yerkes' election, we can make specific exposures that will Bhow that he has been defeated, not by a majority of the voters of Kentucky, but of the fraud ulent use and the advantage given the Democratic party by the Goebel election law." A Federal Investigation. LEXINGTON, Ky., Nov. 9. It Is cur rently reported here that the Republican managers are In communication with Federal authorities with a view of having an Investigation of the election in the state, so far as the Electors and Con gressmen are concerned. It Is asserted this would undoubtedly have some effect oh the claims for Governor. NEBRASKA FOR BTKHTLET. His Plurality Will Be About 7000 Governorship In Doubt. OMAHA, Nov. 9. Practically complete returns for the Electoral ticket and on Governor show that McKlnley carried Ne braska by about 7000, and that the Gov ernorship is but a few votes either way and will require the official returns to decide the result. It is claimed by both sides that the plurality will be but 100 or 200. whichever way it may go. The stato ticket will be divided, the fuslonlsts get ting the Lieutenant-Governor, Attorney General and Land Commissioner, and the Republicans the Auditor, Treasurer and Superintendent of Instruction. The present representation In Congress will remain undisturbed. Stark, fus, is elected In the 4th district, by &; Robin son, fus, in the third by about 200; Neville, fus, in the sixth by 300. and Shallenbcrger In the fifth by 1500. Bur kett, rep, wins In tho first by 2600, and Mercer, rep, In the second by 1300. The Legislature, the returns on which are not yet complete, will probably stand: Sen ate, Republicans, 16; Fuslonlsts, 16; va cant, 1. 'House, Republicans, 51; Fuslon lsts, 49 GOVERNOR OF MIX1TESOTA. Van Sant Elected by a Good Plural ity Over Lind. ST. PAUL. Nov. 9. Samuel R Van Sant. rep. has been elected Governor of Minnesota, defeating John LInd, fusion let, by a plurality which is variously placed at from 1400 to 5100. The Globe (Dem.) figures out the former margin -upon reports received by the Secretary of State from a- number of counties and telegraphic returns far the remainder. The Pioneer Press, on Its reports, places Van. Sant's plurality at the latter figure. Democratic Losses In Missouri. ST. LOUIS, Jfov. 9. Returns from 110 counties out of 114 in the state indicate that Bryan's plurality will be between 40,000 and 45,000, as compared with 5357 In 1S93. Dockery, dem, for Governor, will receive between 25,000 and 32.000 plurality, as, compared with 63,248 received by Stephens in 1896. The total vote in Mis souri is estimated as follows: Bryan ....STO.OCO McKlnley 223,000 The fact that there was no fusion In Missouri between . the Democrats and Fopllsts this year accounts to a great ex tent for the Democratic losses. Kstuu Delegation. Republican. TOFEKA, Kan., Nov. 9. Republicans now claim the election of G. W. Wheat ley to Congress from the 3d district by a plurality of 10, without the vote of sol diers now serving in the Philippines, which, they say, will be largely for him. This gives the Republicans a solid dele gation in Congress as follows: At-large, Charles F. Scott; 1st. Charles Curtis, re elected; 2d, J. D. Bowersock, re-elected; 3d, G. W. Wheatley; 4th. J. M. Miller, re elected; 5th, W. A. Calderhead re-elected; 6th, W, A. Reeder, re-elected"; 7th,-C L Long, re-elected. Utah. Congressional Ele'ctlon. SALT LAKE, Utah, Nov. 9. Latest re. turns from the state show that King, dem, for Congress, Is running ahead of hla ticket. The majority of Sutherland, rep, over King, previously estimated at 1600 has now been cut down to less than 600. The returns are now practically com plete. The Vote In Onto. COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 8. Chairman Diok, of the Republican State Executive Committee, today announced that Mo Kinley's plurality In Ohio, as figured from the complete returns from every pre cinct in Ohio, is 71.162. There will be no change from these figures until the offi cial count has been completed. FIRE AT BILOXL Navy Building Burned In, Mississ ippi Summer Resort. NEW ORLBANsTlo., Nov. . Blloxl, Miss., situated on the sound 80 miles from New Orleans, was swept by a. terrific fire this morning, which destroyed upwards of 100 buildings and rendered hunderds of people homeless. Blloxl is a town of 7000 people and a well-known Summer resort for Mlsslsslpplans and. Loulslanlans and a Winter resort for Northern people. It has a small fire department and contains many frame buildings and the fire simply burned until It had nothing further to feed on. The fire started shortly "after midnight in a saloon near the Louisville & Nashville depot and after destroying the depot, swept through to the beach, a distance of several squares. No lives were lost, but many of the poorer people lost all their possessions. The Catholic Church, school and convent, two news paper offices and several fine brick Btores were among the buildings destroyed. The total loss is estimated at $300,000, with $125,000 of Insurance. University Gymnasium Burned. SOUTH BEND, In.. Nov. 9. Fire, which started about 3 o'clock this afternoon in the gymnasium of the University of Notre Dame, destroyed that structure. The building was of steel -andbric and was one of the largest college gymnasiums; In the world. It Was erected in 18S8-S9. It -was large enough b permit football and baseball practico, had a track, baths and in every way was perfectly equipped. While th6 flames wero still raging, the University trustees held a session and voted to replace the structure with an other gymnasium. Fire In Rcddlnsr Mine. REDDING, Cal., Nov. 9. A fire, the origin of which Is attributed, to chemical action, is burning In the Peck tunnel of the great Iron mine. The drift has been closed and the 100 men employed there have been laid off. It Is thought the fire con he confined to the place where it started. The ore is believed to be on fire, but an explosion la not anticipated. The demand of the men in this tunnel for an eight-hour shift recently precipitat ed a strike, which was ended by the min ers acknowledging their defeat. Sugar Refinery Burned. NEW ORLEANS, La., Nov. 9. The Meeker Sugar Refinery, at Meeker, 18 miles from Alexandria, was destroyed by fire today. The loss is 3200,000; the insur ance 3140,000 ANGLO-AMERICAN AMITY, London Papers Consider Cboate's Speech as Significant. LONDON, Nov. 10. The Standard and Pally Telegraph dilate editorially upon the importance of Mr. Choate's assur ances regarding the Anglo-American am ity at the Guild Hall banquet last night. The Dally Telegraph thinks the American Ambassador's tone was quite significant, and regards his glowing eulogy of Lord Salisbury as perhaps the most remarkable feature of the banquet. The Times says. "A Guild Hall audience always looks to the American Ambassador to contribute to the enjoyment of the evening, and it very rarely looks in vain. Mr. Choate fully maintained the reputation estab lished by his predecessor. He managed to relieve a seriousness which threatened to become too marked for a convivial oc casion by turning asldo into the pathB of politics. "Lord Salisbury ventured upon, the par donable irregularity of expressing the universal feeling of this country regard ing the Presidential election, Had its is sues been different, we shonld not have abandoned our faith In the ability of the American people to avert many of the evil results that might have been Inferred from Mr. Bryan's electoral speech, but since things turned out so happily, there is so indiscretion in expressing our sat isfaction at this striking example of po litical common sense and commercial honor." The Times, like other morning papers, is evidently not altogether pleased with Lord Salisbury's lukewarmness on the subject of army reforms. Messnjres to Roosevelt. NEW YORK, Nov. 9 Among the mes sages received by Governor Roosevelt at his home in Oyster Bay was one from Archbishop Chapelle, of Manila, as fol lows: , "Congratulations. Have worked for this Splendid result." Chairman Dick, of the Ohio Republican State Committee, sent the following: "Congratulations to New York Repub licans. Ohio gave the largest plurality ever given to any Presidential candidate in her history. You led the fight in the grand contest, and the Republicans of Ohio thank you for your presence In our canvass,, as well as for the great National work you have performed." General- F. E. Mather Dead. NEW YORK, Nov. 9. General Freder ick Ellsworth Mather died at Jils home in this city today, aged 92 years. He was the lost surviving member of the original 14 who formed the "Skull 'and Bones Society" of Yale University. He entered Yale In 1832, and ths'soclety was formed In the same year. y - a SPEECH Salisbury's Utterances at Lord Mayor's Banquet WARNING AGAINST AN INVASION His Only Cheerful Remarks Were His - Expressions of Satisfaction With MclCinley'a Re-election. LONDON, for. 9. What Is probably the most brilliant of all functions in England the Lord Mayor's banquet took place this evening. It will be memorable even to Americans by reason of the remark able utterance of Lord Salisbury, who, in JOHN R. A GLOOMY HE-EEEOTETJ GOVERNOR OF WASHINGTON. the presence of 900 guests, Including Unit ed 'States Ambassador Choate, the mem bers of the British Cabinet .and, many jo? the leading men of Englandspokeas fol lows of the American clectfoh: " "Wo believe that the cause which has won is the cause of civilization and com mercial honor. Wo believe those princi ples to be at the root of all prosperity and all progress in the world. Therefore, we claim that we have as much right to rejoice in what has taken place as the distinguished gentleman (referring to Mr. Choate), who sits at my side." This was followed by loud and prolonged cheering, which made the gold plate on the oaken shelves shiver and the great rafters of the Guild Hall ring and ring again. Lord Salisbury's incursion into the National politics of the United States was preceded by on apology, in the course of which he said: "One of tho circumstances which grati fied mo most during the past year has been tho hearty feeling displayed between this country and the' United States. I hope Mr. Choate will forgive if there Is any irregularity in my expression, "it is quite wrong for a Secretary of Btate to make any observations with respect to the internal policies of another country1; but-1 am soon to give tip my office, and, In view of this abondonment, which is close at hand, I hope that Mr. Choate will forgive me for expressing the su preme satisfaction with which all of us have heard of what has recently taken place in tho United States." Mr. Choate, replying a few minutes later to the toast of the diplomatic corps, declared that Lord Salisbury had ex pressed with such truth, simplicity and earnestness the result of the election that he (Choate) would hesitate to add to it, although he would venture to congrat ulate tho noble lord upon the fact that his remarks had been made after, instead of before the election. (Laughter.) Except In its references to the United States, the speech of the Premier cast an extraordinary gloom over the gorgeous banquet. Following directly after the Colonel commanding the City Imperial Volunteers, Lord Sallsoury startled his hearers, who caught the drift of his re marks, by satirizing the war fever, al though praising the courage of the sol diers and declaring that the passionate admiration of military valor evinced by the populace must produce a change of attitude on the part of the outside world when viewing English character. Then, with lowered voice and almost trembling accent, he went on tp speak of the price of victory and the ravages of death, dealing especially with the Queen's bereavement in the loss of Prince Chris tian Victor. Finally, with bent head and hands clasped, he uttered a hope, almost a prayer, that Lord Roberts might bo spared the sorrow now hanging over him by reason of the critical condition of his daughter. Tears sprang to the eyes of -women, and men moved uncomfortably in their seats. The- silence and solemnity grew oppressive. Awakening from self-abstraction, the Premier reviewed the events of the last 12 months. Mr. Kruger and the Empress of China, ho went on to say, had forced war upon Great Britain. He maintained that th'e British War Office deserved great credit for the way in which it had handled these emergencies. "Despite nebulous and facetious at tacks, we should bo glad to Improve all the defects of the War Office," he con tinued; "and our "utmost efforts will be devoted to that task, but I should rather deprecate any unnecessary examination into what has occurred. You will not add to the enthusiasm of your troops by do ing so." He dilated upon the strengthened ties between the mother country and the colo nics during the present year, and poked fun at the delay consequent upon the European concert when dealing with China. It was not appropriate for him, he declared, to comment upon negotia tions while In progress, but he Bald he would make an exception In the Anglo German compact. This," ha remarked, "represents the feelings of most. If not all, the powers si lled. It is Impossible to key ' too much emphasis upon the Integrity of China and the 'open door,' and I think It a matter of great advantage that tho powers should have expressed themselves in favor of these Federal principles, for IX they are achieved the issue of tho China problem need not concern us very anxiously." He maintained very earnestly that the idea of invading China with "our scanty force" or of "approaching the stupendous task of governing China, instead of leav ing it to be governed by the Chinese," was most dangerous. Relapsing into pessimism. Lord Salis bury admitted that the trend of recent events has almost put on end to the hopes of the Russian Emperor and others who took part in the peace conference at The Hague. His extraordinary speech closed with a fervid appeal to the people of England to maintain their defenses in such a perfect condition "-that we shall not be exposed to any sudden Interrup tion of the peace upon which our pros perity depends. The supreme condition," exclaimed the Premier, "is that no re form, no improvement Is of the slightest ROGERS value unless security against external. Interference is obtained by -putting our defenses hrsuctt'a pMUpnat.,noaccl den'may ,happen beyd&jojjxtionlers that shall make ouratsecuHty doubt ful." The majority of Lord Salisbury's hear ers believed that this warning referred to the possibility of French antagonism. Mr. Choate's speech consisted chiefly of a humorous sketch of th'e history of Downing street, which he sold was named after a Massachusetts bby. 'In concluding his address, he expressed his belief that "so long as Lord Salisbury and McKlnley continue to hold tho reins of government, there will be no danger of. any disturbance of the honorable and friendly relations now existing between the United States and Great Britain." George J. Goschen, the retiring First Secretary of the Admiralty, who used the occasion for a dramatic farewell to pub lic life, bespoke the support and confi dence of the British people for his suc cessor, the Earl of Selbourn. Other speak ers were Lord George Hamilton, Secretary of State for India; Baron Halsbury, Lord High Chancellor: Lord Alverstone. Lord Chief Justice; Charles Thompson Ritchie, the newly-appointed Home Secretary, and Sir Robert Bannalyne Flnley, Attorney General. Lord Salisbury, winding up the pro ceedings, pledged the health of the new Lord Mayor, saying that some of the younger men present "will live to see the day when members of Parliament from the Orange and Transvaal Colonies will be present on such an occasion." The enormous crowd was dotted with brilliant state, military and municipal uniforms, with which were Intermingled In a wonderful mass of moving color the wigs and robes of alt the great Judges; the court costumes of the members of the Cabinet; the scarlet of the regulars apd the khaki of the Imperial Volun teers. A dance followed the banquet and continued to a late hour in the shadows of the grim statues of Pitt, Nelson and Wel lington. Among the celebrities present were Sir Francis Jeune, president of the tribune, divorce and admiralty division of the Su preme Court of Judicature; William St. John Broderlck, the newly-appointed Sec retary of State for War; Sir Thomas Lip ton, the Maharajah of Kapurthala in full regalia, and all tho available civil and national dignitaries who were heralded with a series of trumpet fanfares that would have done credit to feudal days. The Lord Mayor's Show. LONDON, Nov. 9. The Lord Mayors show was witnessed today by large crowds. It consisted of the usual gilt and ermine features. Although the crowds were unusually dense, they were easily handled bythe large police force on duty, in striking contrast to the recent parade of the City Imperial Volunteers. In the vicinity of Ludgate Circus, ambulance wagons were held in readiness, but there was no serious crush The procession moved on through ad miring throngs to tho Law Courts, where the ancient ceremony of taking the oath was carried out. The new and old Lord Mayors were heartily cheered. There were no emblematical cars, but there -were mounted men clad in British uni forms in use from ISOO to 1870. A model of the guns of the British cruiser Power ful, which were used at the siege of Lady smith, was much cheered, as were also mounted men representing India, Canada and Australia. French Comment on Election. PARIS, Nor. 9.-The Figaro, referr.ng to the results of the elections in the Unttcd States, considers the question whether Administration changes will be made at Washington in tho same pro portion as they were in 1SS8, and ex presses an affirmative opinion.
