VANCOUVER LEPERS.
Citizens Scheming to Rid tho Town of
the Outcast Chinese.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Nov 4-tSpecial l-Hud-
died together in the dirty shack by the waters
edge, without food, without fire and without
money, the two leprous Cinnamon who were
yesterday given their liberty by order of the
city council passed all OF last night and to dav.
Although nominally they no longer prison
will go near them, aud even their fellow coun-
trymen refuse to give assistance in any way.
Last night it was said, and it seems with good
foundation. that the poor wretehes were to be
smuggled across to Portland, where they would
be put on the Upton line steamship Sussex and
taken to Hongkong, but there has been no
move of the kind made far, and a keen
watch is being made by the United States con-
sular authorities to see that nothing of the kind
is attempted.
newspaper tonight states that an offer was
yesterday made to certain city authorities that
for $500 the lepers would be taken to the interior
of the province and put out of the way, limiting
that they would be simply locked up at some
place and left to starye They are still in the
shack tonight, and up to the present writing no
one knows what will be done. Certain it is that
unless some food is given them they will starye.
on all sides the action of the board of aldermen
is vigorously condemned, yet no cares to
make move to put the responsibility on any
one in particular 1t is said that if something
is not done tomorrow public meeting will be
called to discuss the matter. The dread of the
loathsOme disease is such that all employing
Chinese servants in any way are nearly frantic
for fear they will come in some way into con
tact with the lepers, and communicate the dis
ease. y

Result Not at All Satisfactory
to the British Press.
HIS PLURALITY OVER $1,000.

settS Legislatures Republican.
Flowers Plurality 10000 - Russell's
Plurality in Massachusetts Over
5,OO0-Boies and the Whole Demo-
cratic Ticket Elected in Iowa.

LONDON, Nov. Accommodating on the
elections in the United States the Times
thinks 1t is possible a Democratic victory
IN Ohio would not have pleased all Sec
tions of the party, because it would have
ioreshadowed a schism at next years con-
vention. 1t is doubtful whether McKin-
Ieys achievement is striking enough to
vlndicate his policy or advance his claims
to the presidential nomination. 1t may he
taken TOR granted that the result will
thrust into the background the United
States governments policy of bullying
Chile
The Daily NepS says: 1t Is not easy to
draw a moral where the most important
contests yield dIametrically opposite re-
suits. cklnley's victory is a most
striking event for Europe. but may easily
be exaggerated or misunderstood. He
was probably elected not as a protection
lst, but as moderate opponent of silver.
The Chronicle says: The election of
Flower cannot be cons idered a counter
blast to the result in Ohio, because it was
secured by as corrupt means as ever
American political records can show. All
honest people desirous of decent
government wanted the election of
Fassett but Tammany hall was
too much for reformers. 1t is now prob
able we shall hear of Mckinley as the pres
idential candidate of certain Republicans
who stand on high tariff platform. Nc
Kinley's election indicates the overwhelm-
ing power of money, monopoly and vested
interests in American politics.
The Standard says: The result will cause
a waiting policy on the side of the Repub-
licans. who may hope in November next to
take advantage of some Democratic mis-
takes or some sudden accession of popu-
larity on the part of the government to
reverse the decision now recorded.
New YORK, Nov. 4.-The Herald says:
We are convinced that the election of
Flower will prove a sort of boomerang to
the Democratic party in the presidential
campaign next year, and a blessing in dis
guise to the Republicans.

ASTORIA, Nov. A. 4.-tSpecial lit is all
over now, and / suppose this will be put
down as a case of reckless navigation, but
God knows / did my best, and l will never
know who is to blame for my chronome-
ter being wrong. l will stay by the ship
until the last man is ashore, and in case [
do not reach there, tell my wife that my
last thoughts were of her."
Thus spoke Captain Cuthell, who per-
ished yesterday on the ship Strathblane
AS he spoke these words he shook hands
with Mate Murray and told him to leave
the vessel, and he would follow after the
others were ashore. The ship is fast go-
ing to pieces The bodies are at Ilwaco.
The ship left Honolulu October H. From
James Murray, the first officer, was OBJ
tanned the following:
On Monday the weather was thick and on
Monday night we could see nothing Nv chro-
nometer and that OF tde captain did not agree.
The weather was dirty that we could not get
the sun. On Tuesday morning when l went on
watch did not like the way she was speeding
toward land, and had everything reefed and
was keeping her well up. few minutes after
O'Clock huge breaker boiled up on the star
board bow l tried to work her back into deep
water, but il was use. The captain saw at a
SidHCe Indt kHeEo was no nope, ana calleQ the
men aft and ordered them to clear the boats.
One boat got away all right, but the captain at
last jumped overheard.
The twenty-oue survivors of the wrecked
ship Strathblane arrived here from North
Beach this afternoon. First Mate Murray
tells this story of the wreck: Both he
and Captain Cuthell took observations at
noon on Monday, and they differed widely.
Murray made the vessel fifty miles off the
mouth of the Columbia, and the captain
made the vessels position ninety miles
away, while in reality they were about
thirty. The current, which here sets
strong toward the shore to the northward.
carried the ship on to the Washington
coast. When the ship struck the officers
supposed she was twenty miles off the
shore. A fearful gale was blowing, and in
the darkness the men were washed into
the roaring surf. Captain Cuthell was the
last to leave the ship. He and five others
were drowned. Mate Murray attributes
the wreck to defective chronometers.
Nice-Consul Cherry has decided that it is
unnecessary to hold court of inquiry.
No further news has been received of
the steamers Wilmington or Wellington.

Grover Cleveland ON the Elections.

NEW YORK, Nov 4.-Ex- President Grover
Cleveland today gave his opinion as to the re-
suit OF Tuesday elections as follows:
Any one who stll thinks that tariff reform is a
settled or obsolete issue or that the Importance
OF sound and safe money il question upon
which the people can be blinded, is either will
fully wrong or dangerously dull 1t seems to
me, too, that the Democrats ought to be satisfied

show an inclInatlOn 10 help us livery much re-
gret the defeat of Governor Campbell. FIe has
been "A brave ana honest official. This and the
splendid canvass be made entitled him to sue

ciples, aud decent in all Things.

Governor Campbell takes the situation philo-
sophicaIly and says the Democratic party was
laborng under too great handicap
in Ohio because of lack of funds to pay
the legitimate expenses of the campaign. He
says they made the best fight they could
in the face of Republican majority of II 900
to start on and the combined opposition
of the manufacturers aud capitalists. Besides
all this, it was life and death struggle
with the Republican party. The defeat of
Major Mckinley. one of its national leaders
and the representative of it's chosen
idea of protection, meant the downfall and dis
Indignation of the party itself. Party lines
were closely drawn, he said.
