ELECTION IN UTAH.
To be Contested on the Ground That
1t Was Unlawfuiiv Conducted.

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 13.-The
late election in Utah is to be contested
ON the ground that it was conducted
contrary to the requirements of the
State Constitution, which provides for a
secret ballot. The system adopted was
a variety of the Australian ballot
method, but was so arranged that the
registered number of the voter was
placed ON the corner of his ballot by the
election judges, and by reference to the
ballots and the registration lists it was
easy to find out just how every voter
cast his ballot.
The contestants are some of the de-
feated candidates and present office
holders, and they say they are not seek
ing personal gain, but as the majori-
ties in favor of the successful candi
dates are so enormous, even if the
courts hold. the election to be illegal,
they win resign and allow those who
received the majority of the votes to as
sumo the office. Their object in making
the contest is to prevent complications
in the future, and to have the system Of
election placed on a legal basis.
The Presidential electors and the Con-
gressmen SO far have not become parties
to the suit but the ruling Of the court,
whatever it may be, viii doubtless apply
TO them as to all other candidates. and
what the result in their cases will be in
case the court rules the election void
nobody seems to know.

The Late Election in Utah to be Con-
tested, on the Ground That 1t Was
Conducted Contrary to the Re-
quirements of the State Constitu-
tion-Claim Made That the Ballot
Was Not Secret.

SEATTLE (Wash), Nov. 13.-Seri-
Gus washouts and landslides, occasioned
by an unprecedented rise of the Skyko
1nish River have occurred on the Great
Northern road in the Cascade Mount
aims. Freight and passenger trains cam
not be moved across the mountains in
either direction. The passenger tram
Que here from St. Paul at { O'Clock this
morning could not get through, and to-
nights east-bound overland was aban-
doned and the postal authorities nou-
fed that no mails could be taken east.
WaShoutS four or five in number and
as many landSlides have occurred in the
mountains in the vicinity of the town
of Skykomish. Unusually heavy rains
for forty eight hours past, together
with a chinook wind melting the snow,
have swollen the Skykomish River be-
yond all proportions, washing out much
trackage and inundating other portions
in places to a depth of four or five feet.

THE BIG WARSHIP IOWA.
Her Builders Will Receive a Handsome
Premium Over the Contract Price.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 13.-The
builders trial of the big battle-ship
iowa, which returned to this port to-
day. was essentially an engineers test,
ard the speed developed was a second
ary consideration. Nevertheless, on a
two hours burst of speed this morning
the ship averaged 1927 knots at 112
revolutions of the screws. This is 81
more than the contract speed of the
vessel calls for, and that the Iowa is
capable of better than this was shown
when she was occasionally spurted up
around the II knot notch.
The builders receive $4,000 fer each
quarter of a knot in excess of Ii Knots
on her official trial trip, yet to be made.
The result of the trip was in every
way satisfactory to Edwin Cramps who
had it in charge. The Iowa left here
on Tuesday noon, and made the run to

SHOOTING" STARS.
The Promised Periodical Display of
Aerial PyrOtechnics.

Hundreds of people remained up last
night until after the moon retired be-
yond the horizon to witness the shower
of shooting stars promised by the as
tronomers, and which are of deep in
terest to those who make a study of
the heavens.
These so-called shooting stars are ex-
planned by astronomers TO consist of
body of meteoric particles that envelope
the sun, and once in thirty years the
earth in it's orbit reaches the edge of
this mass. The last display of this kind
was in 1869
These Showers" as they are COM
monty called, last through three years,
and will be noticed again next year and
the year following, so we are told.
At the hour of going to press it looked
as though those who stayed up to wit
ness the phenomena were doomed to
disappointment, no meteoric display be-
ing visible in Sacramento.

of them are lying on the wharf at
