THE ELECTION IN KENTUCKY.
1t Will Take the Official Count to De-
eide the Result.

LOUISVILLE (Ky., Nov. Cit will
take the official count to satisfy both
sides as to the result in Kentucky. The
last newspaper figures place Mckinley
plurality in the State at 6333. The off,
cia1 count complete will not be finished
for three or four days. The State Re-
turning Board will meet three weeks
from Tuesday to pass on the count by
counties.
kaSh and Smith, the first Electors on
the Republican and Democratic tickets
are running ahead of the other Electors
en- the official count, and no matter
which way the State goes the electoral
vote is going to be divided; that is, ii
the Republicans carry the State they
will get twelve Electors and the Demo-
Gratis one, and vice versa if the Demo
Gratis win. This results from the fact
that a large number of voters placed
the cross opposite the name of the first
Elector instead of under the party de-
vice. The Canvassing Board has ruled
IN those cases that the vote should
count only for one Elector, notwith-
standing the evident intention Of the
voter. This raises an interesting ques-
ton in regard to the votes.

ST. JOHNS On. F.), Nov. 6.-The
steamship liberia, Captain DeLisle,
bound for Sydney, left here at o'clock
tonight. Ten minutes later, when just
beyond the entrance to the harbor, she
collided with the schooner Maggie,
bound from Benavist Bay for ST. Johns
with a cargo Of fish and lumber. Thir-
teen lives were lost
The schooner carried a crew of nine
and fourteen passengers, five of whom
were women. The schooner had her
lights displayed, and there was no JUS
tification on the steamships part for
the collision, because the night was
clear and the schooner quite near the
shore in part of the entrance where
steamers rarely go.
The shock of the collision was awful.
The schooner was struck amidShips, cut
III two pieces and sunk instantly. All
aboard were on deck. They were thrown
into the water, and those saved We're
only rescued by the help of the floating
deckload of lumber. Several were
caught under the sails and dragged
down with the sinking vessel. Others
were unable to keep afloat until the res
cue boats arrived, and dropped off the
pianks. Two men climbed up the steam
er'S side, and seven were saved by her
boats. One woman was also saved,
making ten souls rescued. The other
thirteen, nine men and four women,
We're drowned. Captain Blundon's wife,
who was bringing her consumptive six
tcenyearold boy to the hospital at st.
Johns, was drowned, although her hus-
band had her on q plank. The boy
was saved. The Captains brother and
nephew We're also lost. Two passengers
named Holloway, brother and sister,
and his wife.
Seven widows and thirty-six orphans
il the result of this catastrophe.
The pecuniary losses of the survivors
are heavy. Captain Blundon owned 800
quintals of fish aboard, valued at S3,-
eco. Several other men had their sum-
mer's wages. $400 apeiece, with them,
and two men had 81 900 each, and were
coming to ST. Johns to make purchases.
All were more or less nearly related.
The accident happened within half a
mile of the town.
The steamship lay to while she sent
boat ashore to land the survivors, and
then continued her voyage.
The police are arranging to cause the
arrest of the liberals crew at Sydney

Efforts to Secure His Recall From the

TORONTO (Ont), Nov Ga special
from Montreal to the World" says:
There appears to be little doubt in the
minds of well informed politicians here
that the chief object of Sir Charles Tup-
pers visit to England is for the purpose
of using every possible means to secure
the recall of Lord Aberdeen from the
Governor Generalship of Canada. Sen
ator Charles delivered an address before
the Liberal Conservative Club of Mont
real yesterday, and a good part of his
speech was devoted to severe criticism
of Lord Aberdeen's conduct at the time
the late Government resigned the seals

STEAMSHIP DISABLED.
A Mishap on the Fuerst Bismarck
When Many TILES at Sea.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-The disabled
Hamburg American Line steamship
Fuerst Bismarck limped into port this
afternoon having met with an accident
which rendered useless one of her en-
gines at 3:30 o'clock Tuesday morning.
AT that hour the ship was 460 miles east
of Sandy Hook, making for port at a
2O-knot gait The weather was calm,
and the ship glided along smoothly.
Suddenly decided vibration was felt
all over the steamship. Chief Engineer
Ludwig Jonas, who happened to be on
deck, realized at once that something
was wrong. Going below a hurried in
Vestigation showed that the aft bearing
of the crank-shaft of the starboard en-
gine had been fractured He ordered
the engine stopped, allowing the ship,
which is twin screw, to proceed under
her port engine.
The break proved bad one, and the
discovery by the acute ear of Chief
Jonas was just in time The fracture
occurred in that part of the shaft just
aft of the crank, and had it not been
promptly noted serious results would
doubtless have followed when the en-
propeller, began to race" at accelerated
speed
The crank-shaft at the point of the
trouble Is 1874 inches in diameter, and
the break was total, the shaft being
completely severed
The Chief Engineer was not prepared
to express an opinion as to the cause
of the accident, but thought 1t might
nave possibly been caused by defective
casting.
There was no excitement among the
passengers when the nature of the acci-
dent became known, and the delay to
the ship was only few hours. a speed
OF over Ia knots an hour being main
tanned with the port engine alone.
When the Bismarck arrived off Fire
Island this morning she signaled for tugs
to be sent to her assistance, as a pre-
cautonary measure, Captain Albers de-
Gliding to guard against possible acci-
dent in entering port through the mar
row ship channel.
The repairing Of the broken shaft was
begun this afternoon. and as an extra
crank-shaft happened to be on board to
replace the disabled one, the ship will
undoubtedly be able to sail on her next
scheduled day.
It Is coincident that the Fuerst Bis
marck reported the American liner
Paris which broke her shaft on her last
outward bound trip. at about the same
distance off shore as was the Hamburg
liner when the present mishap occurred

tional League, President D. D. Wood
mansee gave out tonight the following

lidASCC gave OuI III tIlt lOlsOWluS
address:
ITO the members of the National
League of the United States, greeting:
The splendid victory of Tuesday, in
which you took a conspicuous part, is
a heritage to every citizen who believes
in good government. I congratulate
you upon the outcome of this memora-
BILE contest. Many of you have labored
TO bring about this result with a zeal
that has known no WEAKNESS. The
effect of your loyal service has been
felt in every State where the fight has
been fiercest On behalf of our orgaui-
zation I extend to you grateful, ac-
acknowledgements.
THE past of the league is history.
We are now concerned about its future.
1t is the ambition of those who are
most interested in our league that it's
influence in the future may be enlarged
and that its position in State and ma
t;onal politics may be elevated and
maintained. The election to the Pres
idency Of William Mckinley, man
who was ever friend of the league,
and one who appreciates it's value, will
fill our hearts with renewed hope and
courage.
"The debts of the league that have so
long been a menace to its usefulness
have been paid. With a clean record
let US at once begin the campaign Ct
1898. The Republican party faces re-
sponsibilities to-day that will seriously
affect the American people,
"The hard campaign which has lust
ended was made doubIy hard by the
silent forces that had been at work for
years to undermine our financial policy.
Let us use the league between cam
palgns as counteracting influence
favorable to our common cause Make
all Mckinley Clubs permanent clubs, or
consolidate those that are in your To-
callty. Join your State League without
delay. During the winter months have
regular meetings to study and discuss
political questions. Scatter literature
as freely as has been done for years
by the Bimetallic League, so that when
the actual battle of another campaign
Is upon us our people will already have
been educated, and our victory then
will become an easy one
Again congratulating you I bespaal1
your earnest and cordial support for
the success of the League of Republi-
can Clubs. Very sincerely,
I'D. D. WOODMANSEE..
