NOT READY TO QUIT.
RecIment Ordered to Be Mustered Out Ask to Be Retained in Service.

Washington, Oct. 25.-A stampede to be retained in the military service has begun among volunteer regiments nat were ordered to be mustered cut. Pe- titions signed by majority of men ill regiments whose services would be som dispensed with, asking that they be retained, are coming in every day to the war department. This condi- ticn of things is surprising. as was the great clamcr fer the discharge Of vol unteers following the signing of the peace protocol Officials Of the military y administration do net pretend to be able to explain its full meaning, but most of them believe that it is the log ical result Of the recovery of the coun- try from the hysteria that prevailed Yhen the troops were returning from Cuba. The approach of co1d weather, with the prospect of returning to their ordinary vacations to secure a liveli- heed, is also given as one Of the req sons that has induced men to ask to be retained in the army, with surety of three meals day and residence in a mild climate
 First Lieutenant Charles s. Camp bell, adjutant of the Seccnd Pannsyl- vania volunteers, called personally Cn the secretary of war and presented a petition, signsd by regimental and company officers and enlisted men, for the revocation of the CTd5Ts to muster the regiment out Of the volunteer se-- vice. The pstition was in this form:

This story is utterly without founda-

business relations between Spanish and
American residents at Monterey have not
IN any degree suffered interruption be-
cause Of the Maine accident. There have
been no personal conflicts OF any sort.
American property in Monterey is not in
the slightest danger. ANY attempt at de-

suppressed with vigor and prornptncss."

DON'T WANT ANY ONE.
Canvassing Board says no one
shall meet with them.

Mr.. MeGraw asks through Chairman
Wharton that representative Of the
Democrats be allowed to meet with
the county court while they canvass
the returns-The request has been
turned down-No advantage was to
be gained apparently law il ST.
lent on the subject
The county court met as board
of canvassers to canvass the vote of
the county beginning on Monday
morning. They do not expect to
finish their labors before Wednesday
and it will be impossible to give
the official vote of the county for the
various Offices before that time when
we will give table showing it in
full
While they were in session this
morning a request was preferred by
Mr. McGraw through county chair
man j. J. Wharton for the admission
of some one to represent him in the
going over of the returns.
There was no law to prevent it
but the board after talking over the
matter decided that they would not
admit anyone. In other counties as
may be seen in another column there
are contests and in these votes will
all be gone over in the presence Of
people representing McGraw. 1t
will take a week for this work and
until then the exact status OF affairs
will not be known. Further infor-
nation from McGraw relative to the
contest Will be given as by him on
to morrow and published in this pa
per.
He now claims that there has been
great fraud practiced and he has
hopes backed by substantial evil
dence that the result will be very
different from the face of the returns
which give Dayton a majority of the
votes.
At any rate the majority will be
brought down TO very small point
either way. The counties in which
the contests have been iuaugurate9
were those in which the Democratic
gains in the other sections of the
district were overcome and the re
suit which first looked like victory
for the Democrats changed into de-
feat for them.

SOME SURPRISES.
Yost's Team among the Vanquished-
W. & J. In sweet pickle-The indi-
cations are that they will get justice.

The foot ball games on Saturday
in this section and all over the coun-
try resulted in surprises in nearly
every instance. ID. G.. and A. c.
went up against GreensEurg. The
former was slated to win by large
score but the game resulted in a
draw neither side getting any points.
Princeton which was to have been
badly beaten by Yale turned the Ia
bles and won by small score.
Drake University which was to have
been eaten up by the University of
Nebraska, Yost's terrors, whipped the
latter six to five.
w. q J. beat Western Reserve but
were scored against the second time
this season. Ohio Medical Univer.
sity beat them at Washington some
time ago but were robbed of the
game. While at Cleveland the guar
antee money which w. & j. received
was attached by the G w. U. peo-
pie and the manager oi the Wash
ington team will have to go into
court to show cause why he should
not pay his honest debts.
We hope that he will get justice
which they have SO long been lucky
enough to escape. The Washington
people are among the dirtiest that
are in the gridiron game in this sec
ton and they ought to get salty
dose.

made by Chairman Teter on the morn
ing after the election, in which he
stated that Preston county's vote
would be withheld until the returns
were in from the counties in the South
Branch valley and that ''They yet had
600 votes up their sleeves.
Whatever may be the final result,
one thing is morally certain, and that
is that wherever these frauds have
been perpetrated they will be ferreted
out and the guilty parties prosecuted
for infractions of the Federal statutes
in respect to Federal elections.
For the past six years Preston county
has been gradually increasing her Re
publican majority, in some instances
running as high as 2, 400 at one cleo
tion, While the population of the coun-
ty is decreasing, and outside Of the
coal mines at Tunneiton and Austin,
and wollen factory near Terra Alta
there are no industrial establishments
which employ men in the county.
In the South Branch valley it is re-
ported that $50 votes were thrown out
at one precinct, and that gross frauds
were perpetrated in Tucker county,
where the machinery was altogether
in the hands of the Republican COM
missioners, and under the control of
Tompson, the active agent for Day
ton in that county.
The Democrats of this District and
the splendid support which came to
Mr.. McGraw from the rank and file
of the Republican party, may depend
upon the fact that no stone will be
left unturned to vindicate the position
they assumed at the late election. 1t
is understood, to, that If these frauds
be verified by the recount, the at
tempt of the republicans to change
the result will be defeated, because in
their attempt to do so, they have at
last struck the wrong man.
