Teemer Beaten.

The race between Teemer and Gaudaur,
which was declared tie last Sunday, was
rowed over at Grew Cour lake. near st.
Louis, on the afternoon Of the sd inst, re-
sulting in Gaudaur reaching the home
stake about quarter Of a mile ahead of
Teemer. At the turning stake the bow Of
Teemer's shell went under the water,
and before he had Strengthened, Gaudaur
gained fully two lengths, while Teemer
lost constantly. When he arrived at home
he announced that his boat was water
logged. Examination Of the boat showed
seams in its bow, and good deal Of water
was in the forward compartment. The
referee. appointed meeting at 10 p. M,

parties and give his decision. Time of
race, 2o:24. Between 10 and II O'Clock
and after considerable talk, Referee Gal

Michigan.

The vote indicates the election Of the Re-
publican State and National tickets, but
the figures may alter this somewhat. The
Democrats now claim the State, but the
vote will be too close to tell so0n The
Republicans claim the State by a clear ma
jority. The upper peninsula has been
heard from in favor of Blaine, but the ex-
act vote is not known.
In voting the Democrats and Green
hackers voted tor the same men for twelve
electoral places, and for different men for
the thirteenth place, which allows a chance

OUR COAST DEEENSES.
L Large sum of Money Needed for Pro-
lection.

General John Newton has submitted his
annual report of coast defenses. He urges
that the harbors oi our principal seaport>
be made impregnable by the addition OF
guns OF heavy caliber and others known to
| modern warfare. Past events, lie says, by
no means iustif, the assertions made that
our cotton and grain have become SO nee
essary to other nations that they could not
engage in war with us for 4 short period
without interrupting their supplies OF these
articles. 1t seems to be forgotten that Il
descent upon our coast to hold our unpro-
tected cities under the guns Of a hostile
fleet would consume but few mouths,
and in the meantime cotton and grain in
sufficient quantities might be obtained
elsewhere. The modern system is to
make war sudden, sharp and decisive, and
to make the beaten party pay the expenses.
approximate estimate of the cost Of forti-
fication, including ornaments Of modern
heavy guns and riaed mortars to Portland,
Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Balti-
more, Hampton Roads, New Orleans and
San Francisco, and another estimate, like
wise approximate, for preliminary works,
earth and masonry, without armor, and
machinery and guns, to serve as elnplace-
ment for guns. The total estimate, in
cluding armaments, is $534SS,ooo. The
total estimate for emplacement guns, ex-
cluding arrors, guns and machinery, is
$Io, 1000. These estimates have been
made with care, and it is believed the forti-
tications, including guns for all harbors on
our coasts of sufficient Importance to
tempt an enemy, can be prepared at a cost
not exceeding $6o,ooo,ooo. The following
estimates required for 1855 and 1886 are
made: For the defense of Boston harhor,
$Soo,ooo; New York harbor, $1,12o,ooo;
Philadelphia, S132,ooo; Baltimore, $132,-
600: Hampton Roads, $66,ooo San Fran
cisco, 100000; modification of existing
forts and batteries, 100000; preservation
of Notifications, $175,ooo; purchase of sub
marine mines, $3oo,ooo; easements, etc,
$2oo,ooo; torpedoes, 100000.

THE LOST STEAMSHIP.
Particulars Of the Burning of the steamer
MaaSxlam

The steamship Rhein arrived at her
dock at New York, on October S1st, with
all the passengers and Gre OF the steamer
Maasdam. One hundred relatives and
friends OF those on lost ship awaited them.
Captain Nanderzee, of the ill-fated vessel,
said to Il reporter: I'VE had cabin and
I-33 steerage passengers and the crew of
men. For several days prior to October
24th complaint had been made to me that
the oil tank, situated under the bridge on
the upper deck, was leaking. That day
Denver, one of my seamen, went with a
light into the oiroom to make an examina-
ton. \ moment aftcrward an explosion
was heard, and the sailor, with a burned
face and beard, rushed back on deck, cry
ing, Fire, fire. We put into use all of
our appliances for putting out the flames,
but they gained headway. Then we took
to boat We could save nothing of the
cargo or private properly; only the clothes
we stood in could we take with us. There
was a heavy Sea running 1T the time. The
passengers created little or no confusion.
l think they were too frightened, and
Justly so, to do anything but obey orders.
The steamer Rhine picked us up soon after
9 O'clock"
"There were IS persons in each boat
said DR.. Smith. 1--WE remained near the
burning ship, hoping some vessel might
see the light, and come to the rescue. The
flames burst from the vessel after the first
mast fell at 5 O'Clock. The contiagration
was grand sight, but not appreciated at
the time. | couldn't save even my instru-
ments. There was something ludicrous,
even in our dilemma. We had pair OF
lovers in our boat, and the man could not
be induced, nor would the girl permit him,
to take his arm from her waist to stand his
turn 1t the OAR
Heinrich Wolff, a passenger, said: "The
officers and crew did all they could to save
the vessel and us. The steam pumps could
not be gotten at on account Of the heat
When the Rheir. picked us up the boats
were being tossed about lively, and were
half filled with water"

Ohio.

Six hundred and sixty-elght of c,oI7 pre-
cincts in Ohio give net Republican gain
Of 1,,o24 over the vote Of last rnonth--an
average of eighteen per cent. This rate
will give the Republicans a plurality OF
47,2,c, which will probably be.reduced by
Al! but four counties have been heard
from says the latest dispatch. Blaine car
ries the State by about 10000.
The Dillon tribune., 1884-11-08
GORDON A PRISONER.


A dispatch from Cairo to the London
Morning 4Nczrs says: The Mahdi in the
beginning of September, hearing Of the
advance of the British forces, made su.
prene effort to reduce Khartoum, which,
place, at the end Of September, was sur
rounded by 10000 rebels. Tie supplies
falling, the garrison began to waver. A
deputation of officers complained bitterly
to General Gordon that they had been de-
ceived by the promise Of British assist
ance, and accused him OF aiding in the de-
ception. The deputation also demanded
that retreat be made to Dongola, and
threatened that if this action was not taken
they would join the Mahdi. General Cor
don thereupon consented to the plan pro.
posed. Meanwhile panic arose, and
5000 soldiers and civilians deserted in a
BODY Two thousand men remained faith
fui and embarked with Gordon. The reb-
els were advised Of what happened, and har-
rassed the retreat to Shendy, where masses
of rebels, provided with artillery, disabled
the flotilla. Only Colonel Stewards vessel
succeeded in passing Beeher, and shortly
afterward it was wrecked. The remains of
the dotilla were obliged to return south
ward, and on reaching, Shendy the entire
force was captured. About the 5th of
October General Gordon was sent, under a
strong escort, to the Mahdi's camp, where
he is now a close prisoner.

Missouri,

Almost complete returns from the
Eighth and Ninth Congressional districts
re.elect O'Neil and Glover, both Demo
Gratis. Returns from the State are still
very scattering, but it seems safe to say
the Democrats will carry their National
and State tickets by q round majority, and
elect Congressman in all the districts, ex-
cepting the Fifth and Fifteenth, which the
Republicans claim.
The Dillon tribune., 1884-11-08
Connecticut.

The vote OF Connecticut for President,
with only small towns to hear from, gives
Blaine, 6s,,3S; Cleveland, 6S,9,5; Butler,
1867: St. John, ,,,o5; Cleveland's plural
lty, I,,I4.
Cleveland CARRIES the State by LOO
plurality. The Legislature is largely Re-
publican, and will elect Harrison. This is
definite and reliable, and the result will
not be changed.
The Dillon tribune., 1884-11-08
California.

The probabilities now are that out of the
six Congressional districts in California the
genubicans have carried the Second,
Third and Fifth, with the others doubtful
a Republican gain Of three Congress-
men.
Returns from $50 precincts and wards in
20 counties give Blaine ,6,62o; Cleveland,
s1.S,o: against Garfield, cr,o74; Hancock,
ISIS.

Massachusetts.

The towns and cities heard from, incluG,-
ing Boston, give Blaine, S5,S92 Cleveland,

Cleveland, $1,000; Butler, 3693: st. John,
1885.
The Dillon tribune., 1884-11-08
NEaiIle.

One hundred and sixtv-three towns in
Maine give Blaine, 46,51o; Cleveland,
32.o,o; scattering, $3.50. The same raise
in the towns to hear from indicate total
vote of 1890. On that basis Blainc's
plurality will be 1880.
The Dillon tribune., 1884-11-08
