The Cincinnati and Bancroft Depart
From Gibraltar.

Washington, oct. GA cablegram re-
ceved at the navy department this after
noon announced the departure of the
cruisers Cincinnati and Bancroft from Gil
braltar to-day for Smyrna. 100 miles
away, and only 150 miles from Constanti-
nople. As the Bancroft arrived at Gibral-
tar only on Sunday last. she must have
been expeditiously coaled and the prompt
ness with which she resumed her journey
dispelled any lingering doubts as to her
destination. There is no longer any con-
cealment at the state department that the
Bancroft is to pass the Bosphorus and
anchor in the Golden Horn as long as
Turkish affairs continue unsettled 1t is
not disclosed officially as yet, however,
whether Minister Terrell has secured the
necessary permit for the passage of the
Dardanelles by the Bancroft, but no doubt
is expressed that IL will be forthcoming.
The Cincinnati and Bancroft should reach
Smyrna about the middle of next week,
when Admiral Selfrdge will have under
his command In that harbor, including his
flagship the Minneapolis, and the San
Francisco and Marblehead, the largest
and finest American squadron ever seen
in the Mediterranean.

The Recent storm and the Absolute
Certainty of Democratic Success
Kept Many Democrats From the
Poils-COnnicting Reports as to
the Working of the Australian
Ballot Lnw-The Legislature Apt
90 he Anti-CnII.
Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 6.-The returns
from the election are very meager, due to
a defect in the Australian ballot law voted
under to-day for the first time. in not pro-
viding sufficient number of inspectors to
count the vote. The ballots embrace state
and county officers and constitutional
amendments, making nearly a hundred
spaces for the Y mark In some precincts
there are coo voters and three minutes Is
occupied In the count of each ballot. so
that in such precincts nothing will be
known as to the result untn tomorrow
afternoon. Only small precincts have
been heard from and these show heavy
vote and democratic gains over four year
ago, when there was republican opposi-
tion. Bloxham. the democratic candidate
for governor, will beat Gunby, rep, and
Weeks, popo fully $4,000 votes.
Alachua county, heretofore democratic
stronghold. is likely to go republican on
account of the hurricane which swept the
western edge, which usually rolls up a
democratic majority OF GOO. There has
been no voting there at all, all the trees
being down and the roads barricaded. so
that no booths and election paraphernaha
could be sent from the county seat.
In Baker. Columbia and Levy counties
similar conditions prevail but there the
republican vote is as much cut down as
the democratic
About 20 per cent of the ballots have
been thrown out on account Of the ignor-
ance Of voters
There were three complete state tickets
in the ield-democratic, republican ana
populist-and the prohibitionists had a
candidate for governor. 1t was the first
time the republicans had q ticket in the
field since 1888. The lightness of the vote is
attributed to the new election law and to
the recent storm which swept the state.
The republicans Will probably have four
and the populists six members of the ieg-
islature out Of total of 100. This legisla-
ture elects a successor TO United States
Senator Can, and it is not likely that he
will be returned, although a silver demo-
crat will undoubtedly be chosen.
AT midnight the count in no county is
complete. Reports from 30 Of the As coun-
ties in the state give estimated democratic
majorlties Of from 100 to 500. If the ma
iority for Bloxham reaches $1,000 It will
stil be falling off of 1000 from the ma
jority for Mitchell (dem.) four years ago.
No official return Will be received before
Tomorrow as in some counties the count
will not be completed before morning.

a like amount on Sept. last. Neither de-

Baltimore, Oct. 6.-IThe harmonious re-
suit of the stockholders meeting of the
Seaboard Air Line, which was held in
Portsmouth to-day. caused great surprise
among financiers and railroad men of this
city. Gen. John GILL; president of the
Mercantile Trust Company, has bitterly
opposed the management in maintaining
the rate war against the Southern Rail
way Company, and President Hoffman
has as strenuously insisted upon continu-
ing the struggle for the railroad suprem-
acy in the southeastern territory of the
country. Up to last evening, when the
party left for Portsmouth, it looked lllSs
a finish fight. To-day all was changed.
All the unfrendhness seemed to disap-
pear. A well-kmown railroad man of this
city said tonight that in his opinion the
action of the stockholders to-day was
practically a victory for Gen. Gill. He
believed that if an agreement to with
draw the cut rates had not already been
entered into between the Seaboard Air
Line and Southern that it would be with
in a few days. 1t was the cessation of
hostilities principally that Gen. Gin aim
ed at. All the financiers at the clubs are
inclined in this way, to account for the
amicable outcome of the meeting
