gotten by those who witnessed II. II
was a scene altogether unique in the

and an hour previously the wharves were

OF Vancouver. but from all parts Of the
Pacific province and states. About ! 80,

the big steamer all evil spirits that might
be iurklng In the vicinity. and thus as

SUSPICION OF MUTINY.
In Connection with tho Wreck Of the
Barkentine Monte Tabor.

Provincetown. Mass. Sept. 1S.-One
more horrible disaster. and this one rem
dered even more frightful by the strong
suspicion. amounting TO almost q GER
tainty that a tragedy is in the incident.
has overtaken at least one crew OF those
that have gone to the sea in ships
Off the Peaked Hill bars, the spot on
the whole New England coast most
dreaded by mariners, the italian bark
entine Monte Tabor struck, Sunday
night, about midnight, and IL now
complete wreck. She was bound from
Trapani 10 Boston with salt. and the
cargo has gone back to it's element. She
carried 10 men. three OF whom are
drowned. and the rest brought safely 10
land
n strange proceeding. and one that is
considered suspicious in the minds OF tho
authorities, Is that the captain and mato
should have committed suicide. That
two old seamen. accustomed to COM
mand and familiar with the sudden
changes and precarious conditions that
are continually coming up at sea, should
shoot themselves. and that when so near
the land that escape was all but certain,
Is so unlikely that Sheriff Whitcomb Will
probably hold the rescued crew until
the arrival of the United States officials
from Boston, who viii then take the
matter in charge.
The sailors, not being able TO speak
English. Ii has thus far been impossible
TO get at the bottom facts In the case, but
report is current that mutiny may
have broken out on board. and that the
wrecking of the vessel was only natural
consequence. The story which the sailors
tell is to the effect that the captain and
mate killed themselves as soon as the
vessel struck This may be true. but il
will probably be deemed wise on the part
of the officers TO mold the sailors who
came ashore on part of the wreck until
an interpreter arrives from Boston.

abandoned by her crew. The State OF
Maine Is owned by j. Ill. Nichels n Co.,
OF Searsport, Me- She is a double -decked
vessel OF 1467 tons. When she left here,
about 10 days ago. her cargo consisted OF
$4,000 cases of refined petroleum for
Shanghai. Captain II. G.. Nichels was

men. From reports made by the cap
tains OF vessels that have sighted the

IF THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE FAILS TO ELECT.

The twelfth amendment to the federal
constitution distinctly provides that, in
the event of the failure of the electoral
college to elect president and vice
president of the United States, the house
of representatives shall choose the presi-
dent by ballot from the three persons
having the highest number of votes in
the electoral college, each state delegation
in the house having one vote, and ma
jority of the votes of all the states so cast
shall be necessary to choice.
The contention has been made in some
quarters that, if the pending election was
thrown into the house, it would result in
the election of Mr.. Bryan. Tt spite of the
fact that a majority of the states are I'M
questionably favorable to silver, an
analysis of the vote of the present house
on the silver question affords no encour-
agement to this notion. The unvanished
truth is that the present house, elected as
result of the unreasoning reaction of
1894, is SO overwhelmingly Republican
and 80 completely dominated by goldbug
influences that it could be depended upon
to elect Mckinley by a majority of the
states regardless of the fact that the sill
yer states of Colorado, Nevada, Idaho and
Montana would offset New York, Penn
sylvania, Massachusetts and Ohio. So we
c continue to insist that Mr.. Bryan must
be accorded clear majority in the cleo
toral college.
As to the vice president, in the event
of the electoral college failing to elect'
the constitution provides that that officer
shall be chosen by the senate from the
two candidates having the highest num-
bers of votes in the electoral college, a
quorum for the purpose consisting of
tors, and majority of the whole number |
being necessary to choice 1t will thus be
perceived that the constitutional method
of electing a vice president outside of the
electoral college is very different from
the election of a president, and, if it
should be thrown into the senate this
year, we should consider Mr.. Sewall's sue
cess assured. Certainly Mr.. Watson, if
he should unwisely continue in the race
as the Populist candidate, could not hope
to be higher than third in the list in the
electoral college, and hence could not be
voted for in the senate, even conceding
that the Populists hold the balance of
power in that body.

IN OPEN REVOLT.

When such men as Joseph E. Saint and
Mayor Walbridge, of Albuquerque; Mayor
Olney, DIR. Cunningham and Cashier
Hoskins, of the San Miguel bank, Las
Vegas; Capt. Michael Cooney, of Socorro;
Judge CHM and Messrs. Carr and Belts,
of Grant-when old Republican wheel
horses of this stamp come out hat-footed
and square-toed for Bryan and Sewall and
the principles they stand for, we'll may
the Mckinley Catron organs of the terri
tory prick up their ears and wonder what
the future has in store for the party of
gold and greed. This year of grace is to
see Democracy's triumph the country
over, gentlemen, and New Mexico will
constitute no exception.
