about ninety counties heard from, making the
majority from Runnels between eight and nine
thousand, though that majority will be further
increased by the full returns from the same coun-
ties, while the remaining twenty-six counties TO
hear from will doubtless increase his total major
ity TO fully eleven thousand. Whites majority
over Crosby is already nearly 600, and doubtless
will be further increased In eastern Texas Rea-

5000

The London Times says Of the breaking of the
Telegraphic Gable:
The wind was southerly, there was some SCI
and the ship was going from three TO four knots,
and the cable paying out five 10 six, and some
times seven knots
As the quantity of slack just expended was
greater than expected al starting, and more than
could be afforded, the Tetard strain was therefore
increased TO pressure Of 1909 pounds and the
cable broke.
The extra expenditures OF slack commenced on
Monday evening, when a strong breeze and heavy
swell prevailed, and powerful undercurTent was
experienced. This current forced the wire from
the ship at a considerable angle
w hen the break was applied with increased
power, the stern Of the Niagara was down in the
trough OF sea, and the extra strain created by
her rising was the immediate cause Of the cables
parting.
The general opinion is that the season is too far
advanced for another effort now, but every conf
dence is expressed in the ultimate success of the
Undertaking. The machinery now aboard the
Niagara is considered too heavy for the purpose
IL is stated that the wheels ceased TO revolve
when the pressure was applied on Tuesday morn
