quential and quiet was soon restored.
The West style of Celebration.
In the Tenth ward the supporters of
Alderman West introduced the usual
method OF chronicling their satisfaction
by turning in four false alarms
of fire. The department did not
comprehend the vastness of the
joke and turned out each time only to re-
turn disgusted with the ebulitions of the
Democratic jugglcrs. In other wards the
Democrats were too melancholy to con-
jure up any such manifestations of animal
spirits.
The streets were practically deserted at
$3.50 o'clock this morning and only an oc-
cassional wandcrcr, cndeavoring TO sail to
the windward with too heavy cargo OF
spirits and now and thon bolated poll
tician could be discernod.
The Vote.
The vote cast yesterday was an unusu-
ally large one. It exceeded the total given
for mayor year ago by 1011, making an
aggregate of 17,S43. Colonel Olney made a
remarkable gain over the vote given the
Republican candidate year ago. In 1892
Mr.. Watson had 1865 willie Yesterday
Colonel Olney's total was 9092, an in
crease of 1927.
Mr.. McGuinness, the Democratic nomi-
inee fell 2l3 behind the vote given Mr..
Potter year ago. City Treasurer Gran
ger was reelected by majority OF 350S.
Mr.. Gardner tho Republican candidate
for harbor master Is elected by plurality
of 2G1, and Mr.. Cummings the present
oversccr OF the poor by a plurality of 392.

tailed report Of the elect ion returns.

At the City Committee Rooms.

The Republican city committee did no,
falter i'm its allegiance TO its candidate and
did its best to entertain the crowds that
locked TO its rooms TO gather grain. of
comfort or discomfort according 20 their
political predictions. When the news
OF Colonel Olney's triumph came in there
was genuine and general hurrah. Mr..
Olney was taken by the hnni and shaken
most vigorously. There was more cheer
ing, and then Mr.. Olney was hustled. into
the hack and spirited away home.

wards and districts waved the omen of
probable victory over the heads of Demo-
Gratis and Republicans alternately. At no
time did any one venture to predict vic
tory for the Prohibitionists, so the cheer
ing was confined strictly to
the representatives OF the parties.
Before the evening had half rolled away
there was settled conviction that Mr..
McGuinness had been overtaken by a
snow storm and the McGuinness organ on
Weybosset street began to send out blue
looking bulletins conceding no election.
Later in the night these were exchanged
for the still more sombrc heralds OF de-
feat.
The News O flee Beseiged.
The News stereopticon display OF the
returns was an unqualified success, both
in point of accuracy and the promptness
with which the bulletins were displayed.
The returns were displayed by The News
from fifteen to twenty minutes earlier than
other papers. The crowd in front OF The
News Office read The News bulletins and
compared them with those of another
sheet later on when the opportunity was
offered. After 10 o'clock the
Republicans were confident and
happy for victory began to
stare them in the face. As the hours
wore on the excitement and confidence
increased. The Second district of the
Ninth ward was the last to make return,
and long before its vote was announced
the McGuinness organ had closed
up shop and discontinued its
bulletins. At 2:30 o'clock the
last return came in. A moment later the
News bulletin announed tho splendid vic
tory of Col. Olney. Tho crowd i'm front of
the office cheered and everybody repaired
TO the headquarters of the city commit
tee before which an open car
raige, drawn by team of
exultant Republicans was standing. Ten
minutes later the mayor-elec., with his
right arm nearly pulled off by congrotu-
latory handshakes, was hustled into the
carriage and drawn triumphantly away
down Weybosset, through Market square,
up Waterman and down Benefit TO Beney-
olent street, where Mr.. Olney resides.

vALErTA. Malta, July 1S.-Capt. Bourke
this morning resumed the stand in the
cours-martIai resulting from the sinking
Of the British battleship Victoria. off
Tripoli, Syria. Bourke testified that he
became aware Of the danger Of collision
almost as soon as the Victoria began to
turn. Admiral Tryon had consulted no.
body about the maneuvers. It had been
customary to use thirty degrees helm, but
Tsyon had changed it to twenty-eight de-
grees.
Lord Giffords. flag lieutenant Of the
squadron. testified that after the collision
Admiral Tryon said to him: lit was all
nv fault"
staff Commander Hawkins-Smith also
gave evidence showing that Vice Admiral
Tryon took upon himself the responsibility
for the disaster. The staff commander
said that Immediately after the Camper
down rammed the Victoria the vice
admiral said to him: at Was entirely my
doing. 1t was entirely my fault"
Capt. Bourke was questioned closely as
to Admiral Tryon's manner OF receiving
suggestions concerning signals for the
fatal manenver. He replied that the ad.
miral's answers were rather short and
sharp. He knew that the admiral consid-
cred the Victoria bad flagship. Bourke
considered the maneuver IN unprece-
dented one when ordered. He never had
to do il before.
Flag Lieut.. Clifford said that the admiral
in making the order for the signal, gave
him slip OF paper on which Was written
only the figure six. and communicated
the rest OF the instructions orally. This.
he added, WAS rather unusual.

NILwAUKRE, July 1s.-A special dis
patch to the Sentinel. from Shell Lake,
Mich. says: A. e. Probert and Edwin
Probert. Wisconsin bankers. who operated
banking institutions at Washburn. Ash
land. and Shell Lake. were arrested
at Washburn today. charged with having
violated the banking laws. Three
banks in which the prisoners were inter-
ested failed recently and an examination
has shown. It is said. that all the institu-
tions we're in bad shape, and that deposits
were received over the counters after It
must have been known they were insolv-
ent. The Proberts stood high in Wiscon-
sin financial circles and the news Of their
arrest caused great sensation throughout
the state.
