EW YORK, Nov. 11. "The re
sult of the election generally
splendid for the country,"
asserts former Senator Henry M. Tel
ler of Colorado, who Is here to attend
a monetary commission meeting.
"This protest against the new na
tionalism shows that the people have
not much patience with it. The peo
ple want the government run on old
fashioned lines."
MILLION AIRE K. ZIMMI KM
THINKS THE COLONIC!- IS "KILT'
New York, Nov. 11. Eugene Zim
merman of Cincinnati, railroad man
and financier, came home from Europe
on the Lusltanln, nil smiles oyer the
democratic landslide. Zimmerman
said he had been a life-long republi
can until the last few months, but that
now he was a democrat.
"I believe in-protection," said Zim
merman, "but a revision of the tariff
Is neccessary. In revising the tariff
democrats must be careful not to go
too far."
Zimmerman said he considered the
result a rebuke to Koosevelt.
"People do not want a dictator. This
is the end of Koosevelt. Over on the
other side he has been looked on mere
ly as an agitator. The people there
are not sorry to see him meet the end
he did: He Is killed now."

Oyster Bay, Nov. 11. Oyster Bay

Col. Koosevelt.
He is still in complete seclusion at
Sagamore Hill. Not since his return
from the Spanish-American war. 12
years ngo, has the colonel kept him
self so secluded at his home, and vil
lage folk are In want for an explana
tion. It Is said the colonel spends
most of the time In his library.

Hooper May Lota- In Tennessee
Memphis, Nov. 11. Keturns from
additional counties of east Tennessee
Instead of Increasing the majority of
Hooper, republican, for governor, as
expected are reducing it somewhat.
While the total vote has been received
from only two-thirda of the counties,
all but six have reported actual ma
jorities. On the face of the returns
Hooper haa a plurality over Taylor,
democrat, of 11,564. The legislature
on Joint ballot wilt be very cloae. Un
official returns indicate that the ad
ministration democrats have a major
ity In the senate, with two districts in
doubt and not Including two repub
licans who, it la claimed, will vote
with the administration democrats.
In the house the fusion democrats and
republicans have a majority of six,
with one in doubt.
It Is said that "the regulars" will
contest the election In the first dls
trlct because of an alleged illegal
ballot. This district gave Hooper
18,718. If the regulars win and the
district vote la thrown out, It may
wipe out Hooper's majority.
Senator R. L. Taylor admits that
he had been defeated by W. B. Hoop
er, republican and fuslonist, for gov
ernor, but he Is quoted as having said
that he only made the race In order
that the democrats might capture
the legislature and that this pur
pose had been accomplished. Tslk of
a possible contest over the governor
ship continues, but no move has been
made by the democrats looking to a
contest.

the Kentucky delegation make a con

ousted from his seat as representa
tive of the Eleventh Kentucky dis
trict. Congress, it is leported, will
lie asked to deny Powers his seat on
the ground that he has thrice been
convicted of felony and has not been
acquitted by a, jury. Governor Wil

have the same effect as an aequltal

CONFERENCE WAS !
without result;
Dispute Between Lords and Commons
May Break Out Again Both Sides
Preparing to Fight.
London. Nov. 11 The conference
which was organized shortly after the
death of King Edward In an endeavor
to secure a settlement of the acute
controversy over the question of the
veto power of the house of lords, with
reference to measures passed by the
house of commons, aggravated by tin
refusal of the upper house to pass
the budget, has dissolved without
reachlnR an agreement. The an
nouncement of the failure of tho
leaders of the two great political par
ties to tlnd a solution for the. dispute
which has kept British politics in a
turmoil for more than a year, was
made by Premier Asqulth last night
after a meeting of the cabinet which
followed an earlier gathering of the
conference. The official statement
does not disclose the cause of the dis
agreement it simply Buys:
"The conference which has been
sitting to consider constitutional ques
tions has come to un end without ar
riving ut un agreement."
The statement adds that the mem
bers of the conference had decided
not to disclose the course 6f the nego
tiations of .the causes which led to 'ts
termination. It Is understood, how
ever, that the rock on which the con
ference split, was the question of the
composition of the Joint committee of
both houses, .that should adjust the
differences arising In the future. The
liberals insisted that the proportion
of the peers on this committee bo such
that the will of the house of com
mons have a fair chance of prevailing.
The conservative members of tho con
ference could not agree to the govern
ment's proposals and their alternative
proved unocceptable to the liberals.
The political situation now reverts
to the position "it was In before the
truce. The conference secured a res
pite In the controversy over the most
acute Issue of the day during the pe
riod of national mourning which
gives hope that some means will be
found to avoid political complication
until after the coronation.
How this Is to be accomplished re
mains a matter of conjecture and pol
iticians are preparing to resume the
light.
The opinion prevails that the gov
ernment will force an Immediate dis
solution and get the elections over
before Christmas.

ment yesterday from United States
Ambttsudor Wilson and Arnold Frank
Mn, the American consul.
Mr. Wilson couitruieU tho press re-'
ports that he had protested to the
Mexican department of foreign rela
tions against the insults offered Amer
icans and that the riot grew out of
the lynching of a? Mexican, Antonio
Rodigue, at Rock Springs, Texas, on
November 3. Mr. Franklin's dispatch
said that the riotous students who
paraded the streets cried "Death to
Americans." and threatened the con
sulate. He also told how these stu
dents had pulled an American flag
from a business house and hud truns
pled it under foot. The department
Is awuitlng further advices from Am

In tho mntter. Secretary Knox, while
deploring the situation, believes It is

tude of the two people.
Report- of Mob Violence Confirmed.
Mexico City. Nov. 11. To guard
against n possible repetition of the
anti-American rioting the government
has Issued orders forbidding bull
llRhts Sunady. Quiet prevailed this
morning. Special despatches from
Guadalajara confirm the reports of
violence by the mob. At Guadalajara
a mob of students started for the
American consulate crying, "death to
Oringoes." The police prevented the
rioters from reaching the consulate
building, but after listening to In
flammatory speeches the crowd vent
ed their wrath on American-owned
property. They smashed Un windows
of an American bank, Masonic hall,
and in quarters of an American Can
dy company, an American drug com
pany. West End Realty company and
those In the offices of two American
dentists. Many rioters have been ar
rested and American Consul McGi'.i
was assured by the authorities that
precautions will be taken to protect
the property of Americans in future.
Visits wero exchanged between Min
ister Creel and the American amtias-
sador during the day, and a verbal re
ply was given by the former to Mr.
Wilson's urgent message of Wednesday
concerning the Insult to the United
States flag and to American citizens.
What the nature of the reply wus, Mr.
Wilson declined to say, but Intimated
that the same, when put Into writing
and formally transmitted, would show
a proper attitude on the part of the
Mexican government.
Newspaper Will Be Suppressed.
Assurance wa also given that sev
eral newspaper whose utterances
have Incited the demonstration which
developed Into riots, will be sup
pressed. Ambassador Wilson was warmly
congratulated by business men and
others of the American colony person
ally and by letter today for the ag
gressive stand he has taken In the cri
sis. Fears that with the coming of dark
ness violence would break out anew
proved to be groundless. The presence
of numerous squads of mounted po
lice with carbine dung acros their
tun ks who patrolled the l.uin.
streets until late Into the night pre
vented anything In the nature of dla
order.
Governor Lands Is quoted as having
told a students' committee that their
classmates who were jailed last night
acted like hoodlums and were Ineom

order to Are on rioters.

Official Returns and Estimates Place
His Lead Over Grant's Vote
at 1213.
The official vote for congress from
six of the 13 counties In the Tenth
Congressional district has been receiv
ed by Chairman Owen Oudger of the
democratic congressional executive
committee. The seven counties not
heard from have been estimated con
servatively and with these estimates
and the official vote from the six
counties Mr. Gudger ha carried the
district by 1200 to 1250 majority. This
Is the largest majority ever given a
democratic candidate for congress in
the Tenth district. It will be remem
bered that In 1900. before the district
was changed, the late James M.
