FIVE SAILORS DROWNED.

Severe Storm on Lake Michigan Wrecks the
Schooner Waukesha.
MUSHROOM, Mich, Nov. 9.-The
schooner Waukesha broke up while
trying to ride out the gale at anchor
near here Saturday night, and only
one survivor of her crew of seven has
been rescued. He is still too weak to
talk. An attempt was made to enter
Muskegon harbor. but the schooner
drifted a mile south of the piers, and
then anchor was dropped. She was
riding three-quarters of mile from
shore at dark. The engineer and fire.
man of the pumping station watched
the lights until nine o'clock at night,
when they disappeared. Shortly after
ward wreckage began coming in, and
yesterday nothing could be seen of the
lost boat above the water where she
anchored. All night long the wreck
age continued to come upon the beach,
and five bodies have been recovered.
The names of the dead cannot be
learned. as nothing about the clothing
will identify them. The surviving
sailor was washed ashore unconscious,
and nothing can be learned from him

Chairman Hanna Says President-EIect Me-
Kinley VIII Early Convene Congress.
NEW YORK, Nov. 9-The World yes
terday morning said: Mark Hanna
gave the World the following outline
of what he understood to be President
elect McKin1ey's general policy:
have had but comparatively brier conversa-
tions with Maj. Mckinley since his election.
But this much L know-be feels that ne owes
much to the patriotic democrats who prefer
principle to strict party ties. Indiana, for in
stance. was unquestionably carried against
fusion by democratic votes. He recognizes the
very great service performed by the demo-
cratic and independent newspapers during the
campaign Mai. Mckinley will endeavor to
collected great national party that will
give prosperity to the country. He expects
and hopes that men OF all shades of former
political belief will be united to this end.
The first movement he will make will be to
obtain sufficient revenue to conduct the
government Further issues OF bonds would
be altogether too dangerous. Business pros
perity and stability demand that as soon as
possible the government should be paying
basis. To this end extra session of con-
gress will be necessary, and President McKin-
ley will undoubtedly call one soon after his in
auguration. Legislation will be required to
secure the desired revenue, and Mr. Mckin-
ley will do every thing in his power to secure
it. as well as the legal establishment of pol
icy which will tend to put everybody at work
In all this he hopes and expects that he will be
backed by patriotic men. regardless of party

JONES coNcEoEs 1T.
The National Democratic Chairman says
Mckinley La Elected


CHICAGO, Nov. Mai. Mckinley
will have not less than 265 votes in the
electoral college This is not counting
the Is electoral votes of Kentucky, in
which state the result is so close that
either side may win Neither does it
Include two of the electoral votes of
Wyoming. which are in doubt, the
third one being conceded to the repub-
Leans It is possible that McKinley's
electoral vote also be augmented by
the vote of Tennessee, which was be-
ing claimed by republicans last night
Chairman Jones last night conceded
the election of Mckinley and Hobart,
sending q telegram to that effect to
Mr.. Bryan. whereupon Mfr. Bryan
sent a congratulatory telegram to Maj.
Mckinley. Chairman Jones gave out
the following statement last night:
The result OF the presidential election is ap-
parently no longer in doubt It has been one
of the closest contests that the people have
been called upon to determine in recent years
We have claimed the election on our advices
from states that were admitted in doubt. in
which We knew there had been many frauds,
and from which there were evidences of tam
pering with the returns 1t seems now to be
apparent that Mr.. Bryan. after making the
most brilliant campaign in the history OF our
country, and having carried most OF the
enough to assure his success in the electoral
college Bryan electors have been chosen
from all the states south of the Potomac and
Ohio except West Virginia. and all those ives,
of the Missouri except California and Oregon
He has I9) electoral votes. and this number
may be increased by final returns from states
yet in question He has not obtained enough
to carry the electoral college
Thus this remarkable campaign closes with
the election OF William Mckinley. The result
was brought about by every kind OF coercion
and intimidation on the part Of the money
power, including threats of lock-outs and dis
misSals and impending starvation: by the en-
ployment Of by far the largest campaign fund
ever used in this country and by the subordi-
nation Of large portion OF the American press
The president-elect AID his party are under
the pledge to the American people to continue
the gold standard, and by its operation to re-
store prosperity to this country. AS chief ex-
ecutive, Mr.. Mckinley will have the cordial
support OF the millions of patriotic Americans
who nave cast their votes for William Jen-
ningS Bryan They bow to the majesty OF the
| office and abide by the result with
| OF the mutterings that would
have come from the money power
| had it been unsuccessful They are
/ confident the gold standard cannot give the
| promised prosperity, but will gladly welcome
| it il it comes. They will continue the great
struggle for the uplifting of humanity and the
maintenance OF the dignity OF our country In
! the establishment OF the American monetary
system And the democratic party. aided by
its present allies. will still uplft the birnetalliS
standard and bear it on to victory.

A FEATURE OF THE CAMPAIGN.
Mckinley's Inconsistency and Hanna's
BOSSiSm.

McKinley's Inconsistency and Hanna's
BOssIsm.
One of the eastern papers calls atten-
ton to one remarkable feature of the
campaign which has just been brought
to a close. It is a fact that the con-
test has been fought on issues entirely
apart from what were expected on
any hand few months before its
beginning. This is, it declares, some
thing for which no parallel can be
found in the history of the country.
There is one thing which is more re-
markable and that is the position of
the man who was nominated for the
presidency on the republican ticket, SO
far as the principal plank of the party's
platform IS concerned.
Mai. Mckinley had stood out almost
in direct opposition TO his party on the
question of the currency. His speeches
in congress showed that he was in favor
CT free silver; indeed, he had voted for
legislation favoring it. Prior to his
nomination he had pleaded with the
men through whom he obtained the
honor to leave the word gold out of the
declaration on the financial issue. It
was only at the eleventh hour that 1t
was finally arranged to adopt the plat
form as it low stands. Instead of
adopting a platform to suit the
nominee, platform was framed
without regard 10 the views Of
the man who was to stand upon
it, or rather with a knowledge of
the fact that it was one upon which he
could not consistently stand. Maj. Nc
Kinley accepted the nomination. swal-
| lowed his words and has since been in
dulging in feast in which political
crow has formed the chief item.
There is one other thing remarkable
about the campaign. It is the first in
| which a new boss has, by the aid of un-
| limited money, overthrown every old
boss of the party. 1t is also the first
| time in which the ablest men of the
| party have been compelled to retire be-
| fore one whose claims to lead it consist
in his willingness to obey the orders of
any private interests with which his
managers have negotiated.

NINE STATES CLOSE.

Twenty-Six Thousand Votes Really Settled
the National Election.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The immense
popular majority received by Maj. Nc
Kinley and his goodly ma jority in the
electoral college tends alike to conceal
the real narrowness of his victory be-
cause of the closeness of the votes in
several states. If there had been a
change of less than $4,000 votes in the
aggregate in nine states, BRYAN would
have. been elected president of
the United States. McKinley's
majority in California. Delaware,
Indiana, Kentucky, North Dako-
ia, Oregon, South Dakota, West Vir-
Pinia, and Wyoming com bined was less
than 80, 900, and the nine states cast 60
electoral votes. A change of only
about 90, 600 votes would have given
the GO electoral votes of these nine
states to Bryan, and these 60 electoral
votes would have elected him presi.
dent of the United States.

THE POSTAL SERVICE.

Interesting Statistics from the Report of
the + first Assistant Postmaster-G eneral.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9--The annual
report of Frank 81. Jones, the first as

during the last three fiscal years the

period there was an aggregate

BOOM FOR RAILROADS.
Equipment Costing Millions of Dollars Said
to Have Been Ordered.

CHICAGO, Nov. Equipment cost
ing millions of dollars is said to have
been ordered recently by railroads
throughout the United States, condi-
tionally upon the election of McKin.
ley. and, according to a Pittsburgh
estimate. the orders aggregate $4,000
cars of different kinds and 200 locomo-
tives. A large amount of rebuilding
and overhauling is also being done.
Allowing for the additional cost of
sleeping and parlor cars and the fine
coaches, it may be safe enough to figure
on a cost SIS, 600, 600 for new cars alone.
and the average cost of the locomotives
will approximate s., 1000 each. it will
take about 81, 400, 900 for the engines.
or a total OF $50, 400, 600 for the entire
new equipment. Now that the cleo
ton is over, there will be a great activ-
ity in railroad operations. and new
equipment will receive the first atten =
ton All leading lines are in need OF
more freight cars.

are suffering now. The trouble is
over the differentials of different dis.

man Lynched.
CITIZENS ARE ALARMED.
Two Thousand in Camp Near
Enterprise.
CITIZENS ARE ALARMED

La Grsnde, Sept. 1.-The citizens of
Enterprise and vicinity are alarmed by
reports that Indians are gathering in
Wallowa with the intention of massacring
the inhabitants, to avenge the death of
the Indian recently lynched at Asoiin for
outraging young lady of Enterprise.
Miss Olive Richardson, the young lady
who was outraged, has returned home.
1t is rumored that the Indians now en-
camped in that vicinity are seeking her
life, and threaten to shoot her on sight.
1t is estimated that over 1000 Indians
from the Nez Perce and Umstilla reser.
vations ara now encamped in the Wal
Iowa valley. Today the Indians had
barbecue and ;powwoR at their camp at
the mouth Of Trout creek, this being the
time for celebrating the death Of the In
dian recently lynched. A number of
prominent Indians were present, besides
the family and relatives Of the dead man.
The settlers have taken necessary pre-
cautions and warned everybody to stay
away from the meeting, as they might
thoughtlessly cause trouble, as the H.
dians will no doubt be worked up to a
great frenzy, and, with the assistance of
whisky, some Of them might resort to
violence.
