HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Instructive Paper by Prof. Yerxa on
Pacific Coast Discovery


The regular monthly meeting of the His
torical society was held last evening at the
home of DR.. and Mrs. c. f. Smith, corner
of Seventh street and Central avenue. with
large attendance. The paper of the even-
ing was read by Professor T. E. Yerxa on
1.-THE Discovery of the Pacific Coast" The
paper treated of the cartographical history
of the coast from the earliest map pub
lished by La Cosa in the year 1900 down
to the discoveries Of Cortes and Balboa.
The maps following La Cosa are known as
Ruysch, 1908; the Pacific, 1913: Homem,
1910; CASTLES, 1641, Cabot, 1874; Carta Ma
rina. 154s; Ptolemy. 154s; Marines, 1866:
Paule de Furlani, 1874; Sir Humphrey GIL
bert, 1915.
The cartographlcal history of the Pacific
coast of North America, said the speaker,
is one Of shadowy and unstable surrnAse
These maps precluded for considerable
time after the coming Of the Europeans
the possibility of the very existence of q
Pacific coast. and the Asiatic theory of
the new found lands was maintained for
full century after Columbus. In many Of
the earliest maps the question OF a Pa
cific coast was avoided by cutting Off the
western extension OF the new continent by
the edge Of the sheet, but the confession OF
on Asiatic belief was still made in other
ways, as in a certain Portuguese map
between 1916 and 1920, showing Ma
hometan flags on the coast of Venezuela
and Nicarauga.
In 1888 Francis l.. In commissioning Car
tier for his exploration called the st. Law
renee valley a part Of Asia. At this time
It was generally supposed that North
America and Europe were unGted by land.

The beginning Of the decline of such be-

who began the exploration to the north
which Ber1ng oonsummated. The Portu-
guese had pushed eastward beyond the
great peninsula of India and had reached
the Moluccas in 1911. Then they satisfied
themselves that there was long space in
tervening yet before they would confront
the Spandards pursuing a westerly route.
The speaker then outlined the discover

The Wife Kicked

Deputy Constable Mugnemi arrested
America Smith and George M. Smith, sec
ond hand furniture dealers, and Hugh
Lafferty on charges of disturbing the peace
yesterday. Mrs. Ellen Lafferty, the wife
of Hugh. swore to the complaints against
tho men. Ie appears that Lafferty sold
some furniture to the Smiths, who went to
the house on Wilmington street. near First,
to remove 1t. Mrs. Lafferty claimed that
the goods were her personal property and
that her husband had no authority or right
to dispose of them. She locked the doors
and refused to allow the Smiths to take the
goods. Lafferty believes in living up to a
bargain, however. so he broke down the
doors. 1t is reported, and aided the Smiths
in removing the furniture. The cases
will be heard by Justice Morrison today.

One of the most remarkable cam
paigns in the history of Schuylkill
county has closed, and at this writing
the result is in doubt as TO several of
the candidates The defeat Of some
of the candidates on the Republican
ticket is to be deplored, and especially
is this true as to the Judgeship.
Judge Koch received large Demo
cratic vote, and had he been sup
ported by united party would have
secured his election by handsome
majority. He suffered by the deals
entered into by friends of at least one
other candidate on the ticket.
The defeat of the Republican county
ticket can be attributed to several
causes In the first place, the party
was not properly organized to enter
the contest. In the second place, the
Congressional nominee was a load too
heavy for the party to carry. "A
fortress is no stronger than its weak
est spot, " and Mr.. Brumm has GER
tainly shown that the predictions
made by the HERALD when he was
nominated have been verified.
At that time we pointed out thai
the party managers had committed
political suicide in forcing Mr.
BruInms nomination, and that n'
would carry the party to defeat. Thal
prediction has been fully verified.
Mr.. Brumm has made his last ap
pearance as a factor in the politics OF
Schuylkill county.
The Republicans have won a glori
Gus victory throughout this state an(
in New York, Col. Stone is elected
by handsome majority, and in thu
face of the remarkable contest made
by the opposition and the Swallow
side show it can be uuthfully saiC
that the Republican standard-beare
should be proud of the result.
The Republicans, too, are in com
plete control of the national legisla
tive bodias Both Congress and Sen
ate will be under Republican control
and the administration Of Presiden
Mckinley will be upheld.
Viewing the contest in its broadest
light, the Republicans have much tc
be proud of.

VOORHEES, CARRIES NEW JERSEY


Trenton. Nov. 9-New Jersey has
been carried by the Republicans, and
Foster NJ Voorhees, the Republican
candidate is elected by about 10000
plurality. Essex county, which was
conCededly the fighting ground of both
parties, has gone Republican by about
5000, and both houses of the leglsla-
ture will be Republican. This will in
sure the election of a Republican to
succeed James Smith. Jr., Democrat, in
the United States senate. EXCon-
gresham John Kean is conceded to be
the choice of the Republicans as Sen
ator Smiths successor The Demo-
Gratis have elected two of the eight
congressman, Salmon in the Fourth
district and DAILY in the Seventh.
The only state senator elected by the
Democrats is McDermott in Hudson
county This will make the senate
stand IA Republicans to Z Democrats.
Some irregularity in the printing of the
ballots in Morris county may change
the result there and defeat Pitney, the
Republican candidate for the state sem
ate, and also elect the Democratic as
sembly candidates. The assembly will
probably stand 40 Republicans to 20
Democrats. This is allowing to the
Republicans the two from MiddleseX
county, which is very close. The Dem
ocratic assemL!ymen elected are: Hud-
son. II; Hunterdon. >; Monmouth, 3;

Boston Nov. 9.-After canvass
without state issues and confined al.
most entirely to four congressional dis
tricts and a few local districts, the Re
publicans have again carried Massa-
chusetts and elected Roger Wolcott
governor for the fourth time, as well as
the entire state and legislative ticket by
safe majoriues. Governor Wolcott's
plurality over A. b. Bruce, his Demo-
cratic opponent, will be about 10000, or
$1,000 less than his lead last year. As
i'm the past two years, Wolcott sue
ceeded in carrying Boston, which is
usually a Democratic city. The Re
publicans lost two, if not three con-
gressional districts.

MISSOURI DEMOCRATS CLAIM.

st. Louis, Nov 9.-Chairman Cook
claims the election of the entire Dem
ocratic state ticket by a plurality Of
$4,000 the election of - and possibly
IA congressman and the return of a
safe majority to the legislature, in
suring the reelection of United States
Senator COCkrell.
Returns on the state ticket from the
city and state are coming in very slow
ly and at midnight not enough figures
had been received to indicate the re-
suit in even one county. Chairman
Cook is confident that the state ticket
will receive about the same majority
as in 1896, that the party will hold all
the congressional districts carried two
years ago, and possibly carry one OF
the three ST. Louis districts. which
elected Republican congressman. While
there are no returns at Republican
headquarters to warrant the assertion
National Committeeman Richard
Kerens is very confident that the Re
publicans will carry or come nearer
carrying Missouri than ever before.

may be more favorable. The pur-

bought out by the purchasers. Many
of the men who talk reform have not
time on election day to vote their con-
victions. Their efforts begin and end
in empty words" The doctor says he
will keep up his fight for reform until
the government is restored to the
rightful ownership of the people. He
also said that he thought thousands of

a better government.

WIN Average Fully $1,000.

The Republican candidates appear tn
have suffered most from the general
decrease in the vote, but no particular
disaffcction can be said To be shown by
the general result. The only real con
test was i'm the Second district where
Congressman n. -. Sperry the Re
publican nominee, and James H. Webb
Dem, were the oppusin" candidates.
Sperry's majority was 1925. The re
turns indicate that the Republicans
will have a majority of at least 80 in

districts, with the Sixth in doubt. The
Democrats have probably also elected
