ALABAMA ELECTION.
Oates Elected Governor By a &C
Majority.

Oates Elected Governor BY Good
Majority.
MEMPHIS (Tenn.), Aug. Ga CONNER
cioJ AppeaI special from Birmingham,
Ala, says: Despite the fact that the cam
paign just closed has been the most Bit
ter ever known in the State, the election
to-day passed off quietly, and few dis
turbances are reported.
The new Sayre election law, a modifi-
cation of the Australian ballot system
enacted by the last Legislature, was put
in operation for the first time. and
worked smoothly. The ballot was a Sc
cret one. The voting was slow, and for
that reason the vote was lighter than in
1892.
Incomplete returns from various coun-
ties of the State indicate that in Southern
and Middle Alabama the Democrats have
made gains in every county except in
Mobile, where the vote was light. The
city of Mobile gave only 700 majority,
against 5000 last year.
The result in Northern Alabama Is
about the same as it was two years ago.
That is Kolb'S stronghold, and he has
carried the same counties he did in the
last election. In South and Middle Ala
bama the returns show Democratic gains,
which will give the State to Oates by
eighteen or twenty thousand. The Leg
islature is doubtful. The Legislature will
elect successor to Senator Morgan.
THE LEGISLATURE DEMOCRATIC.
BIRMINGHAM, Aug. 7.-Returns con-
tinue to show Democratic gains, with
probable Democratic majority of ten in
the Legislature. Kolb's majority in
Northern Alabama is probably $1,000 to
$4,000, which will be offset by Oates ma
jority of $4,000 to $4,000 in southern and
middle Alabama
At l:20 A. NJ. the estimate of Chairman
Tompkius OF the Democratic Committee
seems to be borne out by the returns. He
claims $4,000 majority, having majority
in both branches of the Legislature.

The steamer Windward Leaves Archs
angel for the Arctic Regions.
ARCHANGEL (Russia), Aug. 5.-The
steamer Windward, having on board the
Jackson polar expedition, sailed hence
this afternoon for Harbaurova or Jugers-
kischar, as circumstances shall determine.
The expedition procured here additional
stores, furs and a number of Russian
ponies. At Harbaurova or Jugerskischar
few Samoyeds will be added to the
crew, and the steamer will then proceed
to the southern shore of Franz Josef-land.
The place of the landing of the expedi-
ton in Franz Josef-land can be only de-
termined when the ice conditions are
known. All the members of the party
are in good health and spirits, and are
confident of success in their undertaking.
The departure of the expedition was
made the scene of a remarkable display
of enthusiasm. The city was everywhere
decorated with flags. The Government
and city officials and other notables went
on board the Windward and went with
her some distance down the harbor.
When they left the steamer many and
hearty were the good wishes they gave
the voyagers, who responded with
cheers.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.--A World special
from Comitan. Mexico. says: There is
great commotion across the border in
Guatemala. All classes of people there
are protesting against the new DEGREES,
principally against the one prohibiting
the importation of silver. 1t Is believed
that the decree is designed to ruin the
trade with Mexico and force it to the
Guatemalan capital, which means the
wrecking of important Industries and
trade in the northern part of Guatemala,
which section prefers secession or even
Mexican protectorate. This, it is be-
lieyed, Mexico would not consent to.

Natives Trying to Blame Foreigners
For It's Outbreak.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Some idea of
the feeling entertained by the Chinese
toward foreigners, who have caused
anxiety for the safety of American citi-
zens, is given in the report of the Canton
plague received to-day at the Marine
Hospital Bureau.
Counsel Seymour, writing under date
of June 23d, says: Natives are trying to
blame foreigners for the plague, and have
gotten up riots in Canton and the sur
rounding country" The Consul reports
that the plague does not seem to yield to
medical treatment, that the mortality is
80 per cent. of the cases, and that the
deaths since March number at least 40, 900.
Cholera has made it's appearance in
Canton in epidemic form, but is not so
threatening as to cause special precau-
tions to be taken against it.

4 Freight Train Goes Through q
Bridge Near Huntington, Wash.
TACOMA, Aug. 6. "A special to the
Ledger says: A wreck occurred near
Huntington to-day. A freight train went
through bridge. A train sent to the
scene of the wreck returned to Walla
Walla late last night, bringing w. e.
Watson, conductor, and David Wright
and Fred Harrison, brakemen, who were
badly injured.
Additional particulars were learned, as
follows: The bridge which crosses Jonas
Hollow, 800 feet in length and SO feet in
hight, was reached at II o'clock. AS the
engine came to the west end of the bridge
it began sinking, and Engineer Jesse
pulled the throttle open and the engine
and tender parted at the same time that
the section of the bridge gave way. The
engine passed over in safety, but the ten
der, fifteen cars and heavily loaded ca
boose went down, leaving the engine
standing near the last bent of the bridge.
Brakemen Harrison and Wright were
standing on top of the cars and Conductor
Watson in the caboose, and went down
with the train.
The injured men are now in the hos
pital here. Watson has a compound
fracture of both arms, his right shoulder
is dislocated, ankle sprained and he is
bruised and cut severely about the face
and body. He will probably lose his left
arm, but will recover. Wright had three
ribs broken, his ankle dislocated and his
face, head and body badly bruised and
cut. Harrison was bruised and cut about
the face, head and body, but no bones
were broken.

Hakodate, srrived this morning with
catch of 1,400 skins. The Bowhead's
Captain, Noyes, contradicts reports pre-
viously received here of the loss of the
sealing schooner Retriever. He reports
that on April 10th the Bowhead picked
up an open boat in which were Captain
Snow of the Retriever and two Chinese
seal hunters. Captain Snow then believed
that his schooner had been lost, but after
the Bowhead had landed him at Yamado
and he had proceeded to Yokohama, he
found her safe at this port. Eight of the
Retriever's men. however, were lost at
sea in an open boat.

Indications are that the crop will be un-
precedentedly large this season. A dealer
in hops said to-day: 81 think you can
safely say that the yield of hops for 1894
will be the largest ever seen in the history
of this State. For this there are two rea-
sons. One is, the season has been very
favorable, and the other is the increased

of a tariff bill. This petition is not the
one formerly circulated by Representa-
tive Springer, although the latter is in
terested in the new move.
Intense feeling was developed as soon
as the caucus move began. Members
gathered in the lobbies and talked ex-
citedly of and against Ahe caucus. Rep
resentatives Strauss, Warner and others
friendly to the Administration denounced
1t as fire in the rear. Neither Speaker
Crisp nor Chairman Wilson had been
consulted as to the caucus, and it was
recognized as directly in opposition to
their wishes.
Representative Cultivate, an associate
of Speaker Crisp on the Committee on
Rules, said: THE cuacus is not indorsed
by the Committee on Rules or by the
conferrees. 1t is evidently move
against the House conferrees. Members
of the Rules Committee will probably
enter the caucus, but | expect the con-
ferreeS will remain away in view of the
fact that the reverse action by the caucus
would be equivalent to vote of want of
confidence"
Representative Strauss, close friend of
Mr.. Wilson, expressed the opinion that
the caucus would prove boomerang,
He believed Mr.. Wilson and the other
conferrees and their friends would attend
the caucus and attempt to carry it. With
such men as Chairman Wilson, Bourk @
Cochran and others urging loyalty to the
House cOnterrees, Mr.. Strauss did not
think antagonistic resolutions would
pass. Mr.. Strauss said also that he eX-
pected the caucus would bring out some
startling conference secrets. which would
insure the conferrees support from the
House.
Messrs. Springer and Bynum make no
concealment of the fact that the caucus is
for the purpose of ending the contest by
accepting the Senate bill. In this connec-
ton they quote statement made to them
by Senator Mills, to the effect that further
House resistance meant the killing of all
