RUSSIA WILL NOT RESENT IT Favors Roosevelt's Peace Move, but Can't Join in While War Is On. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 17. The Russian formal reply says a circular note regarding the convening of The Hague Conference is not expected un til next week. In the meantime the views of other powers are being ascer tained through the Russian representa tives abroad. While there Is no rea son to believe that Russia can agree to participate In a conference during the war, there is every indication that she will not only not resent the proposal, but that her reply will bo of a cordial character. In the course of a conversation on the subject between Foreign Minister Lamsdorff and Charge d' Affaires Eddy, of the American Embassy, the former spoke feelingly of Russia's great in terest in the work and aims of the peace conference initiated by Em peror Nicholas, and the important fact developed that it has been Russia's in tention, had the war not intervened, herself to invite the powers to a sec ond conference.

"VICTORIES POR REPUBLICANS. Colorado Supreme Court Passes on Election Cases. DENVER, Nov. 17. The Supreme Court today reaffirmed Its decision that It has the right to take jurisdiction of the last election, and the hearing of testimony in the cases of 27 election officers, who have been cited for contempt, was commenced today. The court further held that the Elections Commission, in making the count in Denver, cannot go behind the re turns, but must use the written count of the election Judges and not count the tal lies. The decisions are victories for the Republicans, as in both cases the motions of the Republican attorneys were sus tained. Counsel for the commission requested the court to instruct the commission how to proceed in instances where the totals had not been written up and also where no totals had been extended, either in figures or in writing. In the first case the court directed the commission to write the totals themselves, and in the latter to call in the election judges and clerks and require them to perform the duty exacted of them under the law. The commission has discovered several cases where both Democratic and Repub lican officials have been lax. Crumpacker a Candidate. INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 17.-Congress-man Edgar D.

PASS THROUGH THE STREETS Visitors Are Guests of the London Mayor Brilliant Theatrical Per formance at Windsor Con cludes Day's Pleasure. LONDON, Nov. 17. King Charles and Queen Amelie, of Portugal, passed in pro cession through the streets of London to day and had luncheon at the Guild Hall, as guests of the Lord Mayor and Corpor ation. As a pageant, the royal progress through the lampllt streets of the city could not oe regarded even by the most enthusiastic as a success. An opaque fog, at some parts of the route so dense that it was impossible to see more than 50 yards ahead, veiled the overhead decora tions, and the troops lined the route and escorting the sovereigns hid the bright uniforms under heavy greatcoats. The crowds were not large, but nothing was lacking in the warmth of the reception given to their majesties. Addresses were presented to them by the local authorities at various polnta along the route. One of these was typical of all. It neatly referred to Queen Amelie, as follows: "Sprung from France, born, in England, wedded to Portugal, she has linked three nations which we trust will always be found In close association with one an other." At the Guild Hall, Lord Mayor Pound and the Lady Mayoress In their corpora tion robes of office awaited the royal vis itors. A procession was formed and pro ceeded to the library, where was the Prince and Princess of Wales, Cabinet Ministers, peers, members of the House of Commons, officials and officers of both services. An address in a gold casket was presented to King Charles and the pre sentations of officials and others to the King and Queen followed. Then the city's guests filed into the large hall, where luncheon was served. The Lord Mayor toasted the King of Portugal, who, in re plying, referred to the long-standing al liance between England and Portugal and hoped it would continue for all time. At the conclusion of the luncheon, the party returned to Windsor. PLAY IS GIVEN FOR ROYALTY "A Man's Shadow"' Is Presented by Order of King Edward. LONDON, Nov. 17. One of the most brilliant theatrical performances ever held In Windsor Castle occurred tonight when Beerbohm Tree, by the King's command, took down a special company to reproduce "A Man's Shadow." The stage was erect ed in the historic Waterloo chamber, and the audience was worthy of Its setting. In the front row of gold and red plush chairs sat King Edward; next to him was Queen Amelie of Portugal, then King Charles of Portugal at Queen Alexandra's right. They were flanked on either side by the Prince and Princess of Wales and the Duke and Duchess of Conn aught. All wore the Windsor uniform, namely, evftninc rirpsn. nHth red eollnra and 1n- pels. The orders worn by the men andl the jewels on the women's dresses added brilliancy to an audience such as has seldom gathered in England. King Edward and King Charles both fol lowed the performance vivaciously. Mrs. James Brown Potter especially attracted attention, while another American, Ger aldlne Wilson, a small child of 9, upon whom this Jckyll and Hyde melodrama hinges, also won frequent applause. The cast included such well-known play ers as Lionel Brough, Gerald Du Maurier, Clarence Blakiston and Kate Cutler. King Edward, despite a long and tiring day, looked exceptionally well. He sent hearty thanks to Mr. Tree for producing the play which, as Prince of Wales, was always one of his favorites. VIOLENT CRIES IN PARLIAMENT Germans Oppose Premier's Policy Re garding Italian University. VIENNA, Nov. 17. After more than six months' recess, the Austrian Parlia ment resumed Its sittings today. The gal leries were crowded In anticipation of Premier von Koerber's speech explaining the government's attitude and intentions regarding the Innsbruck riots and the Ital ian university question. After the intro duction of the budget, the Premier rose- amid a hostile demonstration from the German parties. Hla remarks regarding the Innsbruck incident were frequently In terrupted by noisy and violent cries" from the Germans, who appeared to bo greatly dissatisfied with Dr. von Koerber's ex planation. The Premier asked the house to suroort the government bill for the establishment of an Italian law faculty at Roverto, in order to permit the closing of the provis ional law faculty at Innsbruck as soon as possible. Tne Germans thereupon shout ed: "The veterans will take care of that." The expenditures are estimated at J33S, 205.S30, and the revenue at $355,589,277. New rentes amounting to $2,891,800 will be Is sued for the redemption of the bonds of the public rfebt falling due in 1905. The Minister of Finance in his budget speech said great difficulties had been en countered In balancing the budget and though the conditions were becoming sat isfactory. It is impossible to take an opti mistic view while the augsllcht agree ment as to the cost Austria and Hungary each are to bear for the administration of their common affairs and the commercial treaty negotiations with Hungary were still unconcluded. Premier von Koerber announced that the foreign relations of the empire were friendly. The under standing with Russia regarding the Balkans had hot been disturbed. AH, the Premier said, would ' deplore the bloody struggle in the Far East and ardently de sire peace. The Premier announced that the govern ment accepted all the responsibility for the Innsbruck affair and said the guilty parties would be punished. It I considered Improbable that the Rovcreto bill will. In any degree, settle the Italian University question, .the Ital ians having absolutely declined to accept the government's offer to establish a fac ulty at Rovereto. Having announced a larger number of new bills dealing with a variety of Inter national reforms. Premier von Koerber emphasized the urgency of the country devoting itself to commercial and politico-economic developments, emulating Germany and other nations. Even Rus sia, with a great war on her hands, he said, is busily Insuring her economic fu ture by the conclusion of commercial treaties. The monarchy must adopt a customs tariff in order to protect home production and take measures to build' up a new economic Austria on modern lines. An excited discussion followed, Dr! Erelor accusing the Premier jot treating him brutally in their Interview following the Innsbruck trouble. Dr. Erelor de claredthe Premier had not uttered a word of disapproval of the action of the Italian students. f The House, he said, should co operate to expel the government. Premier von Koerber, in reply to criticisms, maintained that both parties must share the responsibility of the de plorable Innsbruck excesses, which never would have occurred but for mischievous agitation. Those disorders, he asserted, were not concerned with racial strife. The intervention of the military was unhap pily attended by the death of Innocent persons, but It ended the excesses. In closing the Premier said: "Who Is to blame?" There were angry shouts of "You, Von Koerber," and amid great contusion the debate was adjourned.

Benolst, having an nounced his intention to- Interpellate the Ministry on the subject of magistrates who are alleged to have shielded their colleagues. Premier Combes Insisted that the interpellation be placed on the list. The Premier declared he did not intend to give up republican officials to the vengeance of the opposition, and was surprised that the Chamber had allowed the whole series of attacks to be built upon papers, the genuineness of which had not even been demonstrated. He did not intend to sacrifice in a week, he said, the fruit of five years of republican prop aganda. He was ready to check ex cesses of zeal, but never would yield to the orders of the Nationalists. M. Rlbot joined In the discussion, say ing the 'public conscience was aston ished when the Premier sacrificed Gen eral Andre when he was equally respon sible. The Premier, M. Rlbot said, ought not to remain a moment longer In office. He also asked whether it were true that Premier Combes and tho Minister of Jus tice, M. Valle, had modified their con duct after receiving a Masonic dele gation. The Chamber postponed the Interpella tion by a vote of 296 to 267. P0 GRAMME FOE BENEFIT.

UNiONISTS WRANGLE Chicago Case Comes Before Federation of Labor. NOW A. QUESTION OF VERACITY Delegates Declare Executive Council Refuses to Hear New Testimony, Which Is Indignantly Denied Goes to Committee. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 17. The Chi cago Federation fight was threshed out on the floor of the convention at the afternoon's session of" the American Federation of Labor today, but after a hot debate lasting two and one-half hours the matter was finally referred on motion to the committee on local and federated bodies with Instructions that a report be rendered at the earliest possible moment. Delegate Dole made an impassioned speech in behalf of the Federation. The leaders seemed disposed to sidetrack the question. John Mitchell, who occu pied the chair In place of President Gompers, saying: he would consider any motion to refer or defer the matter. Tho point at issue rested upon the refusal of the Chicago Federation to comply with the demands of the Ameri can Federation to expel two local Chi cago unions. The basic principle of the whole dispute rested on a question of trade jurisdiction. The United Plumb ers' Association of America claimed ju risdiction over the two Chicago unions in question, which were not affiliated with the National body. It was upheld by the executive council of the Ameri can Federation of Labor, but the Chi cago Federation persisted in disregard ing the ruling and allowed the two se ceding unions to affiliate with Its cen tral body. The Chicago Federation was thereupon expelled from the Na tional body until such a time as it saw fit to comply with the edict of the ex ecutive council. The fight on the proposition was the hottest that yet has been waged on the floor. The Chicago delegates stated that the members of the executive council of the American Federation of Labor had refused to permit them to Introduce new evidence in the Case, and each member of the council In turn took the floor and as decidedly stated that such was not the case. The ques tion therefore resolved itself into one of veracity. The Chicago delegates were desirous of making' a motion to the effect that the convention appoint a special committee to Journey tu Chi cago as soon as possible after the final adjournment of the convention and there study the situation at first hand. In the Interim they desired that Will iam Schardt, president of the Chicago Federation and delegate of that body to the present convention, be seated. This was designated by the opposition as a mere subterfuge and cheap politi cal trick and was overruled. The de bate was finally stopped by a motion which carried by a bare majority, set ting 4:30 o'clock as a limit after which no speeches on the question could be delivered. Among the resolutions presented was one which put the Federation on rec ord as against all antl-ticket-scalplng bills, and urged all labor organizations to work to that end. A resolution Introduced by a Chicago delexata to compel full insurance on vessels of over five tons displacement was characterized by Delegate Andrew Furuseth, of the Seamen's union, as one placing a premium on murder. His vlg orous opposition to the measure caused the convention to vote that tne resom tlon be sent back to the committee and reframed. Resolutions regarding Japanese ex clusion and the eradication of tubercu losls were also tabled that they might be reconsidered. Fort Worth, Tex., sent a message in viting- the Federation to hold its next meeting there. This question will come ud later. Ten o'clock was set apart as the special time for listening; to fraternal delegates from Great Britain and Canada. James WIgnall, of the former country, was introduced and was given a great ovation by the delegates. His sneech aroused the delegates to a high pitch of enthusiasm. He maintained that to be an amoasaaor or laoor was a irreater honor than to represent his country on a diplomatic mission. Speak ing of the bonds between the two coun tries, he said: "The clasp of hands across the sea and the bonds of brotherhood which must come to the Anglo-Saxon family will come through the iraternauze ment of the tolling masses of the two countries." William Abrahan ("Mabcii"),' a mem ber of Parliament, was then Intro dticed. John A. Flett, representative of the Dominion of Canada, addressed the con vention and invited the delegates to hold their next annual meeting, com memorating the quarter century of their existence, in the Dominion of Canada. He compared trade conditions In the two countries. His address was well received. At this stage of the proceedings a polceman entered the nau ana piacea all three of the toreign aeiegaies unaer arrest. This was used as a ruse to pre sent each of them with a gold watch and a gold badge In the name of the Federation. For a. time the English men were completely nonplussed, but the Joke took tremendously with the throng present. Victor L. Berger, of Milwaukee, Wis., representing the International Typo graphical Union, stated tdnight that the socialist element would not attempt to convert the federation to socialism, but would be content with the passage of socialistic measures concerning the wageworkers of America. STRIKE OPENS WITH RIOTING Chicago Furniture Teamsters Will Make a Bitter Fight. CHICAGO. Nov. 17. If the determina tion of the leader in the strike of the furniture teamsters is carried out, one of the bitterest fights that has taken place in recent years In the local labor world is predicted. Today 23 teamsters went out. 120 more having been called out for to morrow, and other teamsters may be called out-for a sympathetic strike. The strike opened today with rioting- and fight ing In the streets and more trouble Is predicted for tomorrow, as the furniture dealers say they will continue to make deliveries with nonunion drivers and it Is expected that wagons will be attacked as soon as they appear In the streets, even though guarded by the police. Secretary A. J. Reed, of the Teamsters' joint Union, said tonight: "All the teamsters who are now out and who will be called out tomorrow are team sters working for members of the Chicago Employers' Association, but unlee we obtain our demands, which we believe are just, the strike will be carried beyond members of the Chicago Employers' As sociation, and Is likely to take in many labor organizations." Frederick Job. who Is manager of the Chicago Employers' Association, said to night: "It looks as if this strike will sread, and we will fight to a iwteh." The point at kmm with tfee fUraiture drivers is- the refusal on the employers part to sign contracts with them. There no question of wages Involved. Opposes Strikes and Lockouts. CINCINNATI.

LOOK FOB MAN WITH "WOUND Corvallls Night Officer Hit Burglar Through Saloon Window. CORVALLIS, Or., Nov. 17. (Special.) Everybody In this town Is interested In discovering the Identity of an unknown man with a new-made bullet hole' In his person. The man entered Julius Wuest- felfs saloon through a rear window at an early hour this morning, and, while he was robbing the place. Officer Osburn discovered him.
