International Newt Service,
WASHINGTON. Nov. 23.—President
Wilson received today a telegram of
congratulation from Mr. Hughes, re
cently his rival for the presidency,
and immediately sent a telegram in
reply.
Mr. Wilson’s message to Mr. Hughes
shows no irritation because of his
opponent's delay in sending the cus
tomary congratulations but on the
other hand is most cordial in tone
President WiUon's reply is as fol
, lows: “I am sincerely obliged to vou
for your message of congratulation
and esteem and desire to assure you
of my good wishes in the years to
come."
It has been stated by friends of Mr.
Hughes that he deferred his telegram
to Mr. Wilson in order to be per
fectly sure that it would not be pre
mature as was tho case with tho re
publican candidate on electton night
and the following day when ho was
deluged with messages from friends
who rejoiced in his success.
NEW YORK, Nov. 23.—Chairman
Wilcox of the republican national
committee says that the newspaper
reports of the refusal of the secre

terpreted and that there is no basis
for claiming Hughes' election on such
grounds.
He concedes the re-election of Wil
son and says that Mr. Hughes' tele
gram to the president is conclusive
evidence that the republican man
gers acknowledge tho defeat of their
presidential candidate.

CELEBRATED NOVELIST DIES
IN BELOVED CALIFORNIA IN
THE PRIME OF LIFE
Pacific News Service.
SANTA ROSA, Cal., Nov. 23—Jack
London died here today of uremic
poisoning. His death was unexpeett d
because of his robust constitution.
The celebrated author loaves a larg<
C3tate which in- has accumulated by
his literary efforts, lb is survived by
a wife and two children
Jack London was l orn at San Fran
cisco on January 12, 1876. lie went
to the university of Callfornida, but
did not remain to take his degree as
lie was attracted by the gold stampede
to the Klondike. Ilia native literary
sense was stimulated by the scenes
attendant on the great rush to the
Yukon valley and he began to write
stories embodying what he saw. Af*
ter many falluics to get his manu
scripts accepted by magazines he
finally succeeded and has been one
of the foremost and vigorous of Am
erican writers ever since. His fic
tion has come out in no less than
thirty four volumes and this vast^
output does not include miscellan
eous writings on ecomonic questions
and other subjects.
Ho married in 1900 Miss Hessio
Muddern of Oakland, and married
again in 1906 his bride being Miss
Charmian Kittrcdgo of Chicago.
In addition to his travels in Yukon
territory and Alaska he has visited
Japan, the South Sea, ail parts of the
United States and Canada, and Eng
land.
As an author he was methodical in
his methods of work allotting three
hours each forenoon to hU Inventive
writing. Although a moderate drink
er himself, his arraignment of the
liquor habit in his story "John Bar
leycorn," which wu3 autobiographical
in form, was a strong arguinont
against allowing tho growing genera
tion to form the alcoholic habit as
well as a study of habit forming.
London was a socialist in his poll
tleal and economic outlook and fre
qnently wrote In support of his views.
He was a healthy out-door man
whose writings were permeated with
a love of adventure.

LONDON, Nov. 23.—A dispatch |
from Vienna via Switzerland says
that tho new emperor Francis Joseph

ers. The enemy is already beginning
to ahow signs of the exhaustion of his
enormous resources of men and wealth
and his weakness will Increase rather
than diminish.
In conclusion he thanks his subjects
for their loyalty to the throne and
calls on them not to falter on the
dark road which remain* to be tra
versed and which leads to a shining
future.
Press and people qeetn to be ani
mated by a new spirit, eaye the dis
patch. The emperor is a soldier of
great ability and now Is exceedingly
popular with all classes of people.
