In Few Minutes More the Magazine
Would Have Exploded.

Key West, Fla, Dec. n.-Yesterday,
about 2:30 p. m, smoke was discovered
issuing from the coal bunkers next to
the magazine on board the United States

was from spontaneous combustion. When
discovered the fire had so far progressed
as to have the walls between the bunk

As soon as the alarm was given every

A few moments more and the magazine
would have exploded killing every man
on board and wrecking the ship. The

CHARLEsToN's ELECTION.
The Vote so Close That Many Com
tests Are Probable.

Charleston, S. c., Dec. n.-When the
full election returns were in late last
night, 1t became evident that the contest
had been even more close than was pre-
dicted. The complete, but unofficial, re-
turns show Smyth's election over Huger
for mayor by 27S majority.
There was a great deal Of scratching
on the aldermanic tickets and the final
count shows each party to have chosen
twelve councilmen. The democrats elect
ed six aldermen at-larse, and the Huger-
ties elected the other six. Democrats
were chosen in wards /, ?, 3, 4, 5, and u;
Huger men in wards 8, Z, s, 8, 10, and IL.
The margins are very narrow in places.
George W. Williams, Jr., Huger) beat
William NJ. Bird by three votes in the
first ward, for alderman at-large.
Buck (democraO beat Grant in the
twelfth by nine votes.
In the mayoralty contest Huger carried
ward twelve by one vote.
Under the circumstances, contests Will
probably be made. There is talk of a
general contest from the independents,
in which il is alleged that the democratic
tickets were One-eighth of an inch short
and some of them were off color. 1t is
stated that Mr.. Huger has served notice
on his party that If he is counted in on
any such grounds that he will not accept
the mayoralty.
Many protests have been filed, but the
commissioners decline to say what they
are until they are heard tomorrow.

POPULIsTs OF THE SENATE.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE populists of

ing in the room of Senator Stewart all
the members being present, including
Senator Jones of Nevada. The general
situation was canvassed, but no definite
conclusion as to the policy of the third

ment that the populists had decided to
abandon the field and make no nominal
tons for the Senate offices is denied by
one of the prominent men at this confer
ence 1t has been practically agreed that
Senator Allen of Nebraska shall be their
candidate for president pro tempore, but
so far as candidates for the other cleo
tive offices are concerned, no programme
has been arranged.
The conference this morning had more
to do with the committee assignments
than anything else, the populists being
determined to get as good assignments
to committees as possible and secure at
least the same chairmanships they have
held under the democratic administration
of the Senate.
