Fuller election returns Indicate th.it Woodrow Wilson carried forty states and will have 442 electoral votes. ThU leaves Roosevelt second with 5 states and 77 electoral votes, while President Taft has but 3 with 12 votes to bo cajt lor him. The returns show that the next house will have 290 Democrats, 129 Republican.! and Iti Dull .Moose mem bers. This gives the Democrats an impressive plurality of 161 over the Republicans in the house and a ma jority of 145 over the combined Re publican and Dull Moose strength. The Democratic margin over the Republi cans In the present house Is only 71. The Democrats appear reasonably certain of controlling the United States senate, although it will be very close, as late figures stood. Pennsylvania Won by Teddy. Roosevelt's vote In Pennsylvania continues to increase by additional re turns from missing election districts. The complete vote from all but four counties in the state and with those estimated shows that Roosevelt's plu rality over Wilson is 46,491. The vote now stands: Taft, 273,041 ; Wilson, 392,928; Roosevelt, 4:19,419. The counties which have not yet com pleted the count are Blair, Tioga, War ren and 119 districts in Allegheny. The legislature will be Republican. The returns are not complete, but It is believed that the Republicans elected 17 of the 26 senators and the Demo crats 9. There Is still a question about a couple of the districts. Robert K. Young for state treasurer, A. W. Powell for auditor general and John M. Morin, F. E. Lewis, A. II. Walters and A. R. Rupley for congress-nien-at-large are easy winners. The complexion of the next con gressional delegation from Pennsyl vania will be 23 Republicans and 13 Democrats as against a present repre sentation of 24 Republicans and 8 Democrats.

TURKS BRACE FOR DECISiVEJATTLE Fate of Constantinople Depends on Fight Now Raging KOLY WAR IS BEING URGED Fear of Massacres of Christiana in Capital Increases Hourly Capture of Salonica by Greeks Is Confirmed. Across the line of the Tchatladja de fenses, the last to be taken before Constantinople, there Is being fought the decisive hattle of the Balkan war. The Tchatladja fort itself, the key to the whole defensive works, has fallen, but the half-starved Ottomans are still holding grimly to the remain ing defenses while Constantinople awaits the outcome with despair. It does not now seem as if anything can stop the victorious advance of the Bulgars and the commanders of the foreign warships outside the sultan's city are gravely concerned over the ominous possibility of wholesale mas sacres when the beaten Ottomans re turn to the city they could not defend. Then it Is feared will come the killing of the Christians and the burn ing and wholesale pillaging on the part of the troops who have fought without food for days and have grown desperate. The report that Kurd tribesmen are hastening toward the capital to play their part in those final days has not served to lighten the general fear. But the Turks have not yet given up their fighting. From all the older statesmen has come the word that Islam will fight to the last. The sultan and his advisers have flung down the ultimatum and there is rumor that the Sheiks are ordering a holy war. A dispatch to the Dally Chronicle coming by an indirect route confirms the previous report of the Greek oc cupation of Salonica and says the ap proach of the GreeVi was attended by awful scenes. Before they entered the town a terrible massacre took place and the shooting and looting was general. When the Greeks took possession they imprisoned all the pashas, officials and Turkish officers. The Turks now in captivity at Salonica number 27,000 men. Dibra, forty-five miles southwest of Prlsrend, in Albania, was taken by the Servians after severe fighting. The remnants of the Turkish Macedonia army had assembled there. The same reports say that .Monastir has surrendered. Major Popovlch, In command of the LIABILITIES.

Servian cavalry, has captured Dajran, with a thousand Turks. The third Servian army is well on Its way toward the Adriatic, but pro gress is slow on account of bad roads. It is expected that Durazzo will be taken in a day or two. Durazzo is one of the ports which Servla has an nounced her Intentiod of seizing and holding. This determination to occupy one or more Adriatic ports against the desire of Austria is absolutely earnest. All political parties have announced their readiness to support the govern ment, come what may. The politicians are convinced that the powers, includ ing Germany, will be able to convince Austria-Hungary th.t Servla, with an outlet on the Adriatic, will not be more dangerous to her than without such an outlet. No March Into Constantinople. The great powers will prevent the Bulgarians from entering Constanti nople. This is the well authenticated report coming from high government circles In France. The six powers, Great Britain, Rus sia, France, Germany, Austria and Italy, are agreed on this plan, It Is understood, and negotiations are in progress to decide the heat means of solving the awkward Balkan situation.

BRYCE RESIGNS AS AMBASSADOR Desires to Spend His Remain ing Years in England NOTIFIES PRESIDENT TAFT It Is Denied That Bryce's Resignation Is In Any Way Connected With the Controversy Over the Canal Tolls. James Bryce, Great Britain's ambas sador to the United States since 1907, has resigned. It was learned that ha has sent his resignation to the British foreign office and has asked to be re lieved as soon as possible. Ambassador Bryce has asked 'to be relieved merely because fe-.e has be come tired of being absent from his own country and deilres to spend the closing years of his life there. The ambassador called at the Whlto House and had a long talk with Presi dent Taft. It is assumed that he noti fied the president at that Interview in formally of his intention. Ambassador Bryce's resignation coins also before any settlement has been brought about of the differences between the United States and Great Britain In regard to the Panama canal tolls. Mr. Bryce's friends denied that there was any dissatisfaction on the part of the British government with his conduct of the Panama canal tolls case. In this connection It was recalled that reports were in circulation before Ambassador Bryce sailed to Australia last spring that he would not return to Washington. Ambassador Bryce has been the most popular of Great Britain's ambas sadors to this country. It has been said of Mr. Bryce that he not only told a great many thousands of Americans lots of things they never knew about themselves, hut unfolded to English men for the first time the real Ameri can character and more t.ian any other Individual now living had con tributed to develop the good feeling existing between the two countries.
